Chapter 2: Another day another down fall

"SIT!" Kagome walked past the newest crater that Inuyasha found himself in, with Sango following. All Kagome wanted was to stop for a rest but no. Inuyasha just had to make a scene. 'We're already wasting time' he says. 'You always want to stop' he says. Oh please! Kagome wanted to slap some senses into him. She had to remind him that they were only human AND she was now taking care of a baby, who has been sleeping from the night before. Not to mention she hadn't had a bath in nearly a month! So yes. She was currently on her way to a hot spring with Sango and the baby.

"Kagome slow down. If you keep walking blindly, you're going to bump into something!" Sango yelled, catching up to her.

Kagome stopped and turned toward her friend. "Oh, sorry. Guess I just have a lot on my mind."

"Like what? You know you can tell me about it"

Before Kagome could respond Mizuki started fidgeting and fussing in her arms. Kagome rock her slightly. "This is what I was worrying about. She's probably hungry and I have no way to feed her. What will I do?" Suddenly, she felt a burning pain on her left shoulder. Quickly handing Mizuki to Sango and dropping her bag, Kagome peeled her sleeve off. There on her shoulder was a dark red crescent moon surrounding a black star. "Wha? What is this?"

"Looks like a mark...at least I think it is. Yeah, it's a demon mark" Sango said touching the mark. "Well Manami did say there would be some surprises"

"But I didn't think it'll be something like this. I mean what else is going to happen to me?"

"How should I know? But right now you have more important things to worry about. Like what to do with this fussy little infant."

"I know. You're right" Kagome took the baby inu from her friend. " Any Ideas on what I should do"

Sango shrugged. "Breast-feed?"

"WHAT? Sango, why would you suggest such a thing?"

"You asked. Besides, you told me yourself, Manami made it so you're Mizuki's new mom"

"Yeah, but this is impossible! Beyond logical"

"Since when has things been logical? Just try at least before dismissing the idea"

Kagome let out a groan "Fine. But I doubt it'll work" She said turning around and walking behind a tree. Sighing, she undid the buttons of her shirt then her bra, without completely taking them off. She placed Mizuki head at her breast. Immediately the inu cub latched onto her and started suckling. "Ugh. This is so weird! Sango it worked!"

"Really?" Her friend asked peeking around the tree. "Wow. Well, you now are officially bonded with Mizuki. Congrats!"

"Not funny. How far are we from the hot springs?"

"Not that far. Couple minutes"

"Good" When Mizuki finally finished eating, Kagome gathered her things, and both her and Sango began walking to the springs. About fifteen minutes later the to reached the springs. Kagome gently laid the now sleeping Mizuki on the ground, close enough where she can see her, then stripped her clothes off and went into the water.

"This feels so nice" Sango said slipping into the water next to her.

"Yeah. I could stay in here forever." Kagome replied. The two girls bathed and talked, enjoying the piece of quiet they had. Soon they were finished and both got out and dressed. "Wait a minute. I should give Mizuki a bath to."

"That's a good idea. Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Sango took out a small set of baby clothes from the inside of her kimono. "Surprise!"

"Sango. They're so cute." Kagome said taking the clothes from her friend. She then proceeded to wash the baby. When she was done, Kagome placed a light blue hakama and a white haori with light blue flowers on the sleeves. "All done! She so adorable. Thanks Sango"

"No problem. Let's go before Inuyasha starts having a fit" Kagome nodded in agreement, and the to set off for camp. When they arrived they found Inuyasha and Miroku arguing about which direction they should take. Shippo was off to the side, sitting under a tree looking down-hearted.

"Can you please break these two up? I want to talk to Shippo, he looks sad." Kagome asked Sango, after they placed their things down.

"Sure."

Smiling a thanks, Kagome headed towards Shippo and sat next to him, holding Mizuki in one arm and patting him on the head with the other. "Shippo? What's wrong"

"Nothing" He replied looking away from her.

"Now Shippo, I've known you long enough to know when something is bothering you. Now tell me what's the matter."

"I want... I want Kagome to be my okaa-san too!" Shippo said facing her with teary eyes. Kagome was a little surprised but smiled warmly at him.

"Thank you Shippo." She picked him up and placed him in her lap, next to Mizuki. The truth is Kagome had always thought of him as a son. She was glad to know he wanted her as a mother even after growing so much. His height was almost at her hip. "I would love to be your okaa-san, Shippo."

"You would?" He said staring up at her.

"Very much so. And I'll be even happier if you become Mizuki's big brother?"

Shippo nodded his head. "I'll be the best big brother ever!"

"Thank you Shippo" Kagome said hugging her son. The moment was soon broken when Kagome sensed the heavy aura of demons approaching. Her friends sensed it to and got ready for battle. "Shippo stay here with Mizuki. I'm going to make a barrier around the two of you." She put up a barrier, then rushed for her bow and arrows. As soon as she grabbed them, a number of demons began to come out of the forest. Kagome gaped at the youkai. Normally the youkai they fought were random, wild looking and blood thirsty, but these demons looked like they were part of the same group and wore the same armor.

"Who dares come onto Lord Sesshomaru's lands?" One of them asked stepping forward and pulling out a sword. He was wearing a red and black armor different from the others, which made Kagome believe he was commander. The youkai had unusual blue and red hair with grey eyes. He looked like a bird youkai, but she wasn't sure.

"Sesshomaru's lands?" Kagome asked shooting a glance at Inuyasha. "We're on Sesshomaru's land? Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha growled lightly. "Don't give me that look! I told you, we can't take that baby with us. The best place to leave it is with a youkai"

"You stubborn, stupid piece of crap! SIT! I ALREADY TOLD YOU I WILL NOT GIVE UP MIZUKI! SHE WAS ENTRUSTED TO ME AND I INTEND TO KEEP HER!" Kagome turn her attention to the surrounding youkais,who had watched the scene with amusement. "I'm so sorry. We didn't realize we were in the Western Lands. We shall be leaving now."

"Sorry, we cannot allow that" The youkai stated as the rest surrounded the group.

"And why not" Kagome asked readying her bow and arrows.

"It is Lord Sesshomaru's rule that all trespassers caught on his land is to be brought to him. And seeing as the hanyou is his half-brother, Inuyasha, I am sure that he would like to question you."
Kagome inwardly groaned as she tried to think of a way out. More than anything she hoped they didn't find Shippo and Mizuki.

"Hayate-san!" one of the demons called out. " There are two demon children here in a barrier" Too late.

Faster than anyone could imagine, Kagome dashed past the youkais and stood in front the barrier, setting an arrow in her bow. "If any one of you even think about approaching, I'll send an arrow flying straight through your hearts!"

The leader of the youkais, Hayate as he was called, stepped toward her ignoring the growls coming from Inuyasha. "I wish to cause no trouble. I am simply acting as needed. You and your friends will follow us to Sesshomaru's palace."

"No harm to any of us?"

"We will not harm any of you."

Sighing dejectedly, Kagome put away her bow and arrow. Turning toward her barrier, Kagome smiled at Shippo, who was standing protectively over Mizuki. She let the barrier fall as she picked up the sleeping inu pup and the kitsune. When she turned back around, she heard gasps from the youkais. "What?"

"That child. It is inu?" Hayate asked disbelievingly.

Weary of the staring eyes, Kagome stepped back from them, protectively holding onto said child. "Yes. Why does that matter to you?"

Seeing the protectiveness of the girl, Hayate mentally shook himself. He would not have a fight here. "Come, we leave." He said turning away, leading the reluctant group to the palace.

"Inuyasha" Kagome whispered to the hanyou. "If we make it out of this mess without problems then I can assure you, I WILL definitely S.I.T you till you're six-feet under." With that said and done, Kagome kept walking,leaving a very disturbed hanyou thinking of his mistake.

"Kagome, what's gonna happen to us?" Shippo asked.

Kagome held him close "I don't know Shippo." Kagome said hesitantly. 'Sesshomaru is so unpredictable, you never know what he thinks. But surely he wouldn't just kill us just for being on his lands.' Kagome shook her head from the thoughts swarming, she did not want to have a headache from over thinking things. She sighed as the kept walking. After a couple of hours of walking, Kagome began to see the outline of the palace's gates.

"We have arrived" Hayate said. "While here, you are to show Lord Sesshomaru the out-most respect. Is that clear... hanyou?" Every eye turned to stare at Inuyasha, who just growled in reply.

'I hope Inuyasha is smart enough to know not to pick a fight with Sesshomaru in his own house' Kagome thought as they were led inside the gates. As she entered the gates, the guards and servants within stared at her, or more likely the inu pup in her arms. This made her extremely nervous. What if Sesshomaru does take Mizuki from her, then what would she do? Could she do anything? The thought was blown away as the youkai named Hayate led them to the courtyard, where Sesshomaru stood with his stoic mask on. "Lord Sesshomaru, I have brought them as you wished"

Sesshomaru nodded at the guard "Thank you Hayate. Now then," Sesshomaru looked straight at Kagome. "tell me miko. Why do you have that inu pup?"
