A/N: Ugh! Can you say WRITERS BLOCK? And, I'm not talking about little Lego's people! I'm talking CLIFFS! Anywho's, don't be mad because the chapters aren't on time. I've been REALLY busy but I will start really cracking down. (LoL, Yeah right) Also, enjoy the chapter, because a new character will be unleashed!

Kagome snuggled into Inuyasha's stomach.
He cracked an eye open. "Comfy yet, wench?"
She giggled and fingered his haori material, rubbing it between her forefinger and her thumb.
"Yeah…I've been thinking…"
Inuyasha groaned and did a dramatic move with his hand.
"Oh lord, the world is coming to an end! We're all doomed! We're gonna die!" Then he cracked an eye open and looked at Kagome with his eyebrow raised.
"Thanks a lot, Kagome!"
She rolled her eyes. "Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and everyone in the feudal era are probably worried…maybe we could…go back for a bit?"
He shrugged. "Whatever…I don't care as long as we're together and there's no danger---WAIT AMINUTE! No. We can't go!"
Kagome sat up and leaned back, arms crossed, her eyes accusing him of wrong doing.
"What are you TRYING to do to me? Turn me into a ghost? I need some air, and I sure as ell can't go out looking like THIS!" She said, pointing to her ears, claws, and fangs.
His face would have been diagnosed with severe aggravation to the hanyou.
"DEMONS, KAGOME! DEMONS! You know, the big things with claws and fur and… OH YEAH! FANGS!"
Kagome looked down. "You mean US?" She said hotly, immediately regretting it.
Inuyasha remained silent for a good minute or two before speaking. "We're not bloodthirsty for the jewel, either, Kagome. We don't go around taking innocent peoples lives. We don't go around causing villages to panic. WE don't go around killing EVERY LIVING THING!"
Kagome sighed and nodded. "I KNOW that…but…we…I don't belong here anymore…"
Kagome sighed and got up, going into Souta's room to get a hat. She pulled on a pair of socks from her room then returned downstairs.
After slipping on her shoes, she turned towards the now sitting up Inu-Hanyou. "I'm going to the park, follow if you must."
With that, she opened and slammed the door, heading down the shrine steps towards a nearby park, Inuyasha following close behind.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kagome sat on the merry-go-round, her feet moving it slowly to the left, and then back again, each time, returning to look up into Inuyasha's grumpy expressions.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After several minutes of doing this, (just to annoy Inuyasha further, might I add), a small little girl a little younger than Souta ran up to Kagome, panting.
Kagome stopped her merry-go-round torture, and gave all of her attention to the little girl in her arms.
She was no older than 6, her eyes surrounded by dark circles, tear stains stained her cheeks, mud crusted on her chin and forehead, as well as a busted lip accompanied the girls' fragile face.
Kagome gasped at the girls' current condition.
"What's wrong sweetie?"
The girl clinged tighter. Kagome felt tears well up as she felt the shoulder and neck of her shirt becoming more and more damp.
Kagome picked up the little girl and sat her in her lap. "What's wrong sweetie?" She repeated.
"My-My…Grand…Grandfa-father…H-He…" Her body shook with fear and anticipation as a new wave of tears built up in her eyes.
"H-H-HE…" She cried freely in Kagome's grasp. Kagome patted her back gently, giving some comfort and support to the young girl.
"What did he do to you?"
The little girl sobbed loudly as she tried to control the new set of oncoming tears.
"He tried to-to…k-kill… … … me…"
Kagome suddenly shuddered, noticing the sudden gusts of wind and the sudden cold.
She stood up and walked towards the shrine. She heard Inuyasha muttering in the background.
"Can't you EVER just stay in ONE place…I swear-"
Kagome turned sharp on her heel. "Shut UP! Shut UP! Just SHUT UP INUYASHA! I'm SICK AND TIRED of being griped at all day and I'm sick and tired of dealing with your anger and moody-ness. I'M the one PREGNATE, NOT YOU! So, just SHUT UP!"
Inuyasha's ears flattened as she stormed off towards the shrine.
The little girl latched on to Kagome tightly. From fear of yelling and from the fear of being dropped on her bottom.
Kagome smiled as she heard Inuyasha stomping behind her.
Kagome hugged the little girl and slowed her pace down a little.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kagome undressed the poorly clothed girl and placed her in a warm bubble bath.
The girls' eyes watered still, but a genuine, TINY, smile was placed upon her face as she cupped some of the bubbles and made bubble figures on the water.
Kagome grabbed one of her special terry cloth (A/N: SO FUZZY!) and lathered it up. She gently cleaned the little girls' body, starting at the top, a few hisses heard as she got off some of the big globs of blood crusted onto the little child's skin.
Inuyasha stood secretly in the doorway, watching the whole scene.
He watched as Kagome's delicate touch cleaned the little girl, as her coaxing voice filled the air, as the girl giggled when Kagome put some of the bubbles on her own face, looking like a bearded man.
'She's going to be a great mother…'
Kagome smirked. 'He forgot I'm a hanyou-I can sense him.'
Kagome smiled as she pulled the shower head down to rinse the little girls' hair off, ridding it of the conditioner.
'She's so quiet and sweet…So little and innocent…'
"Inuyasha, hand me a pink towel please."
Inuyasha wished he could 'sit' himself. 'Damnit! I forgot she was a hanyou! She knew I was watching!'
"Yeah, ok…"He said while blushing.
He reached into the cabinet and pulled out a pink fluffy towel that matched the washcloth then returned to Kagome's room, giving the little girl some privacy.
Kagome wrapped the fuzzy pink towel around the small girl and picked her up, cradling the child in her arms as she headed into her bedroom.
As she reached her room, she started searching for a shirt that was too small for herself, but it would cover the little girl like a nightshirt.
She finally picked out a blue carebear shirt that had grumpy bear on it and it said 'See you in the morning.'
The girls' eyes sparkled when she looked around the room.
For some reason, the amount of pink in the room made her smile.
"Miss Lady?"
Kagome looked in her arms. "You can call me Kagome, if you want, sweetie."
The girl blinked and smiled, two teeth missing, as she blushed and nodded.
"Miss Kagome, would you…" She sighed, noticeably uncomfortable.
"Can-can I sleep…in…here?"
Kagome giggled at her distress and hugged her tighter. "Of course!"
The girl looked down at her bare feet wiggling on Kagome's carpet. "My name is Shiore…but…everyone at home called me Rae…Because my mom named me Shiore…"
Kagome's eyes searched the girl and she felt like crying. 'How can a girl this adorable be so sad!'
"What is YOUR name?"
Shiore glanced at her sideways.
Kagome realized her mistake and blushed while Inuyasha made a show of eye rolling from his position from Kagome's bed.
"What the wench MEANT to say, was which one do YOU want to be called?"
Kagome glared at being called wench and huffed.
"Why don't you go SIT on the floor, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha fell of the edge of the bed and onto the floor.
Shiore hid her giggle behind her hand. "Shiore, I-" she giggled. "-guess."
Kagome nodded and giggled as Inuyasha grumbled.
"I think Shiore is a very pretty name, don't you think so, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha gave her a warning glare as he hopped out of the window and into Goshinboku. (A/N: Damn evil bunnies! He obviously didn't get there in one leap!)
Kagome sighed.
Shiore giggled. "He's glad you're his mate. He's just worried about your children. He's sorry for making you mad earlier. He's going to try to make up for it later."
Kagome's eyes widened in shock and fear as her hands ran instinctly on where she usually wore the shikon jewel necklace. "How did you-"
"I'm a hanyou. I can smell it, plus, since I'm a bat youkai, I have psychic powers and mind reading abilities…You love him as well, don't you, Miss Kagome?"
Kagome blushed and slapped her thighs. "Well, It's getting late…time for bed!"
She lifted Shiore into her bed and tucked her in, placing a loving kiss on Shiore's forehead.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight Kagome-chan."
Kagome hurried out of the room, leaving the door slightly cracked.
'Now for Inuyasha…'
