Inuyasha sleepy opened his eyes to catch the first rays of morning light.

The sun shone through the trees, lighting up the campsite.

Miroku, Sango and Shippo slept peacefully besides a burnt out campfire.

He attempted to get up when he remembered who was sleeping besides him.

Inuyasha looked down to find a sleeping Kagome holding close a demon pup, fidgeting in her arms.

He slowly and gently released Kagome from his grip and got up.

The pup looked up at him with a puppy dog face asking to be picked up.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes before bending down to pick her up.

He stared at the wriggling pup in his arms.

Where did you come from? Why are you here? He though as he walked down to the stream to watch the sun rise.

He sat down at the edge of a small stream trickling down from the mountains.

He placed the now giggling pup on the ground next to him while he splashed water on his face.

The sun rose from the west making the water glisten as small fish swam by.

Inuyasha sighed and looked down at the helpless pup looking straight back at him.

What happened to you? Where did you come? Are you even real? I mean Kagome and I…? We haven't? Inuyasha shook his head Anyway I think I would remember her being pregnant. Maybe you're not mine and Kagome's? Then why do you smell like us? Why do you look like her? Why are you here?

Inuyasha's thoughts where interrupted by the sounding of crying.

He had completely zoned out that he forgot that the kid was still with him.

He picked the pup up and held her in his arms.

She continued to cry and Inuyasha began to get annoyed.

"What do you want?" He said as he stood up.

The crying began to mutate into unworldly screaming.

Inuyasha held the pup at arms length

He had no idea what to do. A worried look formed on his face as he attempted to calm the pup down.

"Come on kid!….. What's the matter?….. Stop crying you'll wake the others"

"Inuyasha what are you doing?"

Inuyasha turned around to find a half asleep Kagome in front of a yawning Sango, a tired Miroku and a sleepy Shippo.

"It won't shut up. It's hurting my ears"

Kagome quickly walked over to Inuyasha and took the pup from him.

The pup quieted down a little but continued to cry.

"What's the matter?" Her gentle voice calmed the pup down even further.

She squirmed around in Kagome's arms; her eyes were still full of tears.

Kagome lifted her head to face her friends "you know what? I bet she's hungry"

The thought hadn't occurred to any of them.

Inuyasha crossed his arms "Well good luck with that. A demon pup will only drink milk from its mother. Since she's not here I guess she will starve."

"Inuyasha don't say that! We'll find someway to feed her"

Miroku lifted a finger in suggestion "I have an idea! What if we go and see Lady Kaeda. She will know how to feed her and she might be able to find her mother"

Sango spoke up "I think that's a great idea Kaeda will know what to do"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Kagome looked back at him with a worried look.

Inuyasha quickly turned away with his arms still crossed "whatever"

Sango clapped her hands together "then it's settled; we will head back to the village to see Kaeda"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes "fine"

It was late morning by the time they set off. Kagome had some powered milk in her bag. She made it up and tried to give it to the pup. It wiggled and refused to drink it. Inuyasha had laughed at her attempt which ended in a sit.

The sun's rays blazed down on the companions. The dusty road seemed to be drier than normal and there was no sign of any clouds in the sky.

The group marched onward. Shippo and Kilala were taking a nap in the basket on Kagome's bike while Sango pushed it.

Miroku led the pack on a steady lookout for potential danger

Kagome dragged behind the group trying to cover the child from the sun.

The pup wouldn't stop fussing and howling. It didn't matter what Kagome did, the pup wouldn't settle and she didn't blame it; the pup was hungry, hot and tried.

Inuyasha saw she was struggling and fell back to help her.

He took the pup from her and tried his best to calm it down.

Kagome couldn't help but giggle at his attempt.

She had never seen him act this way before.

Inuyasha flicked a quick glare at her daring her to continue laughing

She stopped when he managed to get her to settle a little.

"Inuyasha what you said last night" Kagome asked quietly, trying to avoid Miroku or Sango over hearing.

"I've been thinking and I know that it's impossible. We haven't done…..I mean we don't….. I would remember being pregnant and I would know if I have a kid"

Inuyasha continued to stare at her "don't you think I know that! But the kid reeks of our scent how else can you explain it?" His voice was as shallow as hers

"Well, maybe you're wrong? Maybe it's just a scent that smells like us"

Inuyasha got mad "My nose works perfectly thank you besides I am never wrong"

Miroku and Sango heard the two arguing and turned around.

"What are you two arguing about this time?" Sango excursion could be heard in her voice.

They both looked at Sango and Miroku. Their expressions clearly showed frustration and annoyance.

Then they faced each other again. Kagome and Inuyasha were only inches apart. Kagome's anger faded when she realized how close she was to him.

She let out a small scream and pushed him away forgetting he was holding onto the pup.

Inuyasha feel to the ground, landing on his behind.

The sudden jolt woke the baby up and she began to cry again.

"Kagome, Look what you did."

"It's not my fault, you're the klutz"

Inuyasha's face turned red with angry. He quickly got up still holding the crying child.

"You are so lucky we are almost at the village"

"What did you say…. "

Miroku waved his arms in the air. "Now now you two, look Kaeda's village is right over that hill. Let's go and see if she can feed the kid so we can get some quiet ok"

Inuyasha turned his back to Kagome and crossed his arms "whatever"
