Chapter three

Nanita returns

Inuyasha stopped once he noticed this, and once he did Kagome grabbed him and held him tight to her once she noticed why he stopped. There before them stood Nanita.

"Aww, your hanyou is but a whelp now, and he's terribly cute, too!" Nanita commented sarcastically.

While she was talking, Inuyasha was shaking, and Kagome was gaining courage, she was completely ticked.

"Turn Inuyasha back to how he was before." Kagome shouted and Inuyasha was completely confused by this.

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because, I will take his place his place, if you'll let me." Kagome spat.

"What are you people talking about?" Inuyasha was still confused.

"Fine, I'll take that." When Nanita said that, another bolt of blue lightning truck Kagome, then Inuyasha. Nanita left once she was done there.

Inuyasha stood, rubbing his head. "What the hell happened?" He hopped out of his crater, created by the force of the lightning, to get a look around, noticing another crater with Kagome's clothes at the bottom.

"Kagome!" he yelled, hopping over to her, only to find a little girl in clothes that looked like Kagome's. "Kagome? I gotta take you to Kaede!" With that, he picked the limp girl up, wedding style, and ran to Kaede's.

Once he got there he was greeted by Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kaede.

"Inuyasha! You're back to normal!" Miroku shouted running to Inuyasha.

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha was confused again.

"Who… is that Kagome?" asked Sango, noticing the small girl in Inuyasha's arms.

"I think so, but, why did say that I was back to normal?"

"Because you were little when we left." Miroku started.

"…about Shippo's age." Sango added

"Perhaps you should take Kagome back to her time. Her mother could probably take care of her." Miroku suggested.

"Hmm, do you think she'll be mad?" asked Inuyasha, looking some- what scared.

"Why, Inuyasha, are you afraid of Kagome's Mom?" asked Sango giggling.

"She is an older, angrier, and more violent version of Kagome?" Inuyasha explained with all of his friends laughing. "Fine, I'll take her home." Inuyasha replied rolling his eyes.

The little girl in his arms started to stir, al her friends looked in concern. Inuyasha was the first to speak.

"Kagome?"

The little girl opened her eyes, which immeadiatly started to fill with tears.

"Where's my mommy?" she whispered

"Umm, I'll take you to her." Inuyasha suggested

She immediately started to cry.

"No, No! Please don't cry Kagome, Please." Inuyasha couldn't stand to see girls cry.

"B-but, w-where's M-m-my m-mommy? And- and w-who are you?" she started wiping her eyes on her oversized shirt.

"I'm Inuyasha, just call me big brother for now okay, I'll take you to your mom, and protect you okay. Nothing's going to happen! Everything's going to be fine." Inuyasha declared with a smile

"Aww!" all his friends were completely amazed at how Inuyasha was handling the situation.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha hissed, making Kagome start to whimper. "No, no, please don't start crying again, Kagome!" Inuyasha coaxed in a very comforting voice.

Kagome then bite her lips and nodded obediently.

"Okay, well, I'm going to take you bake to your house. Miroku, Sango, you guys start looking for Nanita, but don't get in her way, be careful… No, never- mind, no offence, but you guys might not be able to find her, and even if you do, you might not get away fast enough. Plus, I don't think Kaede wants to take care of you guys as toddler, it bad enough keeping Miroku's hand off of you and trying to keep Sango from killing you, for the many reasons you deserve it. So just stay here and lie low, I'll probably be back tomorrow." And with that, he sped off, carrying Kagome like a baby.

Kagome fell asleep on the way to the bone eater's well, leaving Inuyasha to think. 'Kagome, why would you do this for me? Do I really mean that much to you? Honestly, I mean, you're better off without me. Just look at what happened to you because of me. Kagome, please forgive me. I couldn't stand it if you hated me,' "I love you, Kagome. Please, return to your proper age please. I need you."
