LAST TIME:

"Sango, is there any reason why you're tagging along with me instead of Kagome-Sama like usual?" Miroku asked the Taijya with a raised eyebrow of confusion.

Sango looked at him. "No. Why do you ask?"

Miroku just nodded. "I was… only wondering," he stated, wondering what was wrong with her. "Does something trouble you?"

Sango shook head head. "Iie."

"Good, then."

The Taijya looked at him in confusion, before brushing off her current thoughts -BABY- and got on Kirara with Kagome.

Chapter Eight

The Hikari

The next few months had passed and Inu-Yasha begged for Kagome to stay in her own Era because it was too dangerous for the baby. She accepted that, but it was hard for her to stay behind... from Sango, Miroku, Shippo...

One day during Kagome's nine month of pregnancy, Inu-Yasha was outside with Souta when she began having huge cramps in her stomach. She called to her mom and she came running over. She placed her hand on Kagome's over-large stomach when Kagome began screaming.

Inu-Yasha and Souta came running in when they heard her screams. "We need to get her to the hospital!" Mrs. Higurashi cried. "She's having the baby now!"

Inu-Yasha's eyes widened as he ran over to Kagome and helped her up into the car. She held his hand tightly, scared out of her mind. "I-Inu-Yasha…" she whispered.

"Shh," Inu-Yasha whispered. "I'm right here. I'm always going to be right here, Kag-Chan."

Kagome smiled and prepared herself for hours of pain.

9 Hours Later

The Hospital Room was somewhat quiet, except for a girl's whimpering as Inu-Yasha held her hand tightly. The nurses were trying to help her.

"All right, Kagome, one more push should do it."

Kagome held Inu-Yasha's hand tightly so bad it was turning red, and pushed. A course of loud wails sounded throughout the room as Mrs. Higurashi helped the nurses take out and clean the baby. Kagome collapsed back onto the bed in Inu-Yasha's arms.

"Here, your new daughter," the nurse said, and Kagome and Inu-Yasha were thankful that it was on the night of the New Moon so that nobody would see her or Inu-Yasha's ears.

"What... do you think we should call her?" Kagome asked as she held her daughter and Inu-Yasha and held them both tightly.

"Um… Sayuri?"

"Why?"

Inu-Yasha blushed a deep shade of crimson. "It's… my mother's middle name."

Kagome smiled, and nodded. "I think that suits her. What do you think, Sayuri?"

The child just looked at them with wide eyes and Inu-Yasha laughed.

"Nani?" Kagome asked.

"She's got your lack of enthusiasm."

"Osuwari." She said once the nurses and everyone but her mother left the room.

"OW! Kuso!"

"Inu-Yasha, not in front of Sayuri!"
