A/N: Thank you linajrjt and LadyWolfBlood who reviewed. And I really mean thank you I actually wasn't expecting people to like it since my last story I wrote failed miserably. To correct an error in the last chapter the song was actually Why Do I Have To Wait by Ekolu. Umm I'm sorry if Inuyasha seems Ooc, I don't really know how to get him to be himself ..lol. Well enjoy!

Creeping to the bush again Kagome went through to the small whining body. Pale creamy skin, small claws and fangs, and shimmering silver hair with matching triangle ears is what met Kagome's eyes.

Gently kneeling down, eyes impossibly wide and trained on the obvious hanyou . Kagome gasped as silver-blue eyes opened and focused on her, letting out a pleading whine. "You poor little thing. Look at you, you're the most remarkable hanyou I've ever seen. Not that I've seen many but…Wow!" Looking around her for any signs of the mother of the pup or even the father. Finding nothing Kagome tenderly picked up the pup cradling it to her chest. Staring at the little one brought Kagome to near tears thinking about the fate left to one to young and innocent. Taking a deep breath, Kagome set of again stretching her aura to try and locate her friends. While simultaneously feeling the group and the pup latch onto her breast through her shirt Kagome found a horribly mangled body of what seemed to be an Inuyoukai bitch. Covering her mouth to keep from gagging Kagome turned and sped off to her group as the pup cried at the smell of its mothers death.

With the Tachi

Panting Inuyasha looked around surveying the area for dangers and examining the others injuries. "Oi! Sango, where's Kagome?" Sango now alert began to frantically search the area. "I don't know! I saw her behind us in the middle of battle but I don't know where she went. Inuyasha do you think she's in trouble?" Miroku came over, resting his hands on the Taijiya's shoulders "now dear Sango I'm sure Kagome-sama is just fine. How about we just scout the area for her. She's got to be close." Annoyed the hanyou set off with the other to find the missing miko.

Five minutes later a jogging Kagome came into site holding a peculiar shaped bundle. "Kagome-chan! Where did you go?" Laughing nervously Kagome retold her tale keeping out her finding the little hanyou.

"Oi Kagome. What's that thing? Its smells demonic" Inuyasha quickly swiped the bundle from Kagome and unwrapped it. "Inuyasha!" "Kagome? Why do you have a hanyou pup?" Looking up and meeting her eyes Kagome saw shock awe and confusion in his gaze. "oh…well you see on my way trying to find you guys I heard a whimpering from the bushes and I found him just laying there and when I looked around the area I found its mother dead. So I didn't think it'd be right to just leave him there so I brought him with me." Shippo curiously looked at the sleeping pup from Inuyasha's shoulder "He looks just like Inuyasha! Cool" Sango and Miroku even Kirara crowded around to see the hanyou pup. "Actually he doesn't look exactly like him. His eyes aren't amber, they're a silver-blue color." Kirara getting even closer turned tail when the pup began to wail. Quickly taking him from Inuyasha, Kagome started rocking and shh-ing the pup. Blushing Inuyasha cleared his throat. Looking up, surprised at the blush Kagome gave him an inquiring look. "Kagome, he's not upset.." Glancing down he mumbled something unintelligible. "what was that Inuyasha I didn't hear you?" Sighing Inuyasha said, "He's hungry Kagome and with how young he is he needs milk…" realization dawned on Kagome and the others.

Grinning like the pervert he is Miroku gave a surprising but useful comment. "you know Kagome I've heard that women who have token in baby orphans have begun to produce milk with some stimulation. I could assist you in that" Gasping, although not for what Sango knocked him out for, Kagome also smiled looking down at the now cried out pup. "Do you really think that'd work?" Inuyasha double tacked. "Nani?! Are you really thinking bout letting that lecher touch you!?" "Osuwari! Osuwari! No you baka! I meant about the nursing!" Glancing down at the now non-useful houshi kagome sighed. "Great now I'm going to have to wait for him to wake up to get some answers." Sitting down on a nearby log Kagome allowed the pup to play and suck on her fingers. Huffing Inuyasha bounded away from the group. "Actually I also have heard of this miracle. It is said that with the proper provocation milk will begin to be produced within a couple weeks possibly more." Looking to Sango worriedly "But what are we to feed him till then?" Sango looked through their provisions and found and some of the pedisure(Sp?) Kagome sometimes brought Shippo. "maybe this? If we grind up the rice really good it might work." Getting an old large t-shirt from her bag Kagome made a sling for the pup so she could help Sango with the food for the little hanyou. By the time Inuyasha returned and Miroku awoke both women were in the middle of feeding the baby their concoction and he seem very happy to get something in his belly.

That night and every other night for the next two and a half weeks Kagome let the pup suckle once she settled in for the night and her milk finally came in a few days prior. Kagome and Sango continued to hold and totally spoil the pup rotten, even Miroku had grown attached. Inuyasha's mood about the pup improved a little and he informed Kagome of the pups usage of the Inuyoukai language and even gave her lessons. The morning of the 12 day Kagome woke to a sloppy wet sucking sound in Kaede's hut. Confused and a bit dazed Kagome looked down to find what she'd come to think of as her pup sucking away happily. Smiling Kagome lightly scratched his ears

:Alpha-Mother up!:

:Pup good?:

:Pup good:

Yawning and waiting for him to finish the other breast to get up she though back to how content she'd been that past weeks and how her mother would take it when she visited. 'I hope by some miracle he'll be able to go through. Kami please let him.'

:Pup done:

:Good pup:

Rising from her sleeping bag she placed him in the sling she purchased at Kaede's village the previous day and began breakfast for the group. 'I still need to give him a name. hmm what would fit him. I'll ask the others.' once the group was up and eating Kagome broached the subject. "Hey you guys?" The group looked up to the nervous miko. "I've been wondering. It's been almost 3 weeks since I've found the pup and he really needs a name. Do any of you have suggestions? I've been thinking about Yuu."

"Well Kagome-sama, do you mean that your sure that you are going to keep him?" Miroku asked. "Of course I'm going to keep him. I doubt that anyone else would take him in this era and I can't abandon him. There's no other choice, plus I don't want to give him up." Smiling gently down at her little pup, he replied by shoving a chunky fist into his mouth and then giggling. "How about Taji, Kagome!" bounding onto her shoulder Shippo looked at the pup, "Do you like Taji?" the pup blinked at the kitsune. Laughing Kagome said, "No he doesn't have and yellow just the silver, sorry Shippo" Placing a finger to her chin Sango thought for a few moments, "Hmm there's Yukio but I don't believe we want him to grow up a brat as Kagome says." "Yes good point Sango dear. Rinji, since you found him in a forest?" …"eh...no thanks Miroku. Maybe Taro? Since he's is so fat" the group laughed but disagreed. The group was overcome by a pregnant pause….

"Keitaro…or Kisho..?" All looked to the corner where Inuyasha sat looking slightly awkward. "So which one pup. Keitaro or Kisho?" setting him in her lap Kagome put her two pointer fingers in front of him. The Inu pup looked at each finger then grabbed the one on the right, successfully picking his own name, whether he knew it or not. Smiling Kagome held him up for the group to see. "And here we have Higurashi, Kisho!!" The group laughed and clapped as Kaede walked into the hut. "Now what is the celebration for?" "We just named Kagome's pup! His name is Kisho!" Shippo exclaimed. As the group talked with Kaede, Kagome took the time to go sit by Inuyasha. "Thank you Inuyasha. For picking his name." "Keh! You saw he picked his own name I only thought of 'em." Looking away with a small blush. "Kagome, there's a way to officially adopt him. In youkai terms…" Shocked Kagome was speechless, "..R-really? I can? …how?" breathing deeply she caressed Kisho's velvety soft cheeks, unknowingly easing him into napping. "Well, you two exchange blood and you kind of...share some of your energy or ki ..binding it. At least that's what I remember." Grinning at the hanyou Kagome hugged him careful not to squish her pup. "That's all? I can do this at anytime??" Fidgeting Inuyasha nodded. "Thank you So much Inuyasha! Will you help me? I want to do it right away!"

Getting up Kagome followed Inuyasha outside and to the Goshinboku. "Ok this is what you gotta do. Its probably better if you sit down. First thing your have to do it so surround him with your aura, kinda like a blanket. Now this is the important part. Your going to cut yourself and the pup and while you fuse your blood you have to poor some of your ki into him." Kagome nodded, looking a bit nervous but very excited, "is that all Inuyasha?" Scratching his head thinking it looked like a light bulb suddenly popped on. "Oh yea. Your going to have to say some words." Silence… "Inuyasha…What kind of words??" "I don't know. Just something declaring your takin the pup as your own I guess." Inuyasha said shrugging. Restraining herself from slapping her forehead Kagome decided to wing it. Taking a calming breath Kagome began to surround Kisho with her aura, his large innocent eyes staring back at her unblinkingly. Taking out a small pocket knife Kagome slit her palm and that of Kisho's preparing herself for the coming wailing of the pup…that did not come. Staring at Kisho, Looking as if he was not just cut and now bleeding, he was as content as ever. Shrugging it off Kagome linked their hands pouring some ki into his blood and receiving a tingling sensation. 'So far so good. Now what to say..' I take this abandoned Inu hanyou pup, Kisho, as my own flesh and blood son. I shall protect and guide him from harm and will gladly sacrifice my life for his. He is my son and I am his mother. This is the way it is." Kagome saw as Kisho was glowing the soft pink of her aura as it seemed to mix into his light blue one. One small streak of pink threaded to his hair, marking him as her son. Giggling Kisho swatted at Kagome's hair revealing Kagome's own silver streak. Amazed Kagome looked up to Inuyasha for an explanation but he looked as shocked as she.

Gathering Kisho in her arms she then embraced Inuyasha, as tears traveled down her cheeks. "Thank you so much Inuyasha. This means so much to me." Pulling away awkwardly Inuyasha keh'd and lead them back to the hut. "Hey Inuyasha" she saw a triangle ear swivel to her. "Do you think that the well will let him through now? Since I've adopted him?" Glancing back at the miko Inuyasha shrugged, "Maybe since he now shares some of your aura and power. You'll have to try it. I'll stand at the bottom to catch him incase he doesn't go through so he won't splat at the bottom. Cringing at the thought Kagome hugged the pup tighter. Sensing the nearness of food Kisho latched on to a nipple through her shirt "Gah! Hold on Kisho you can wait a bit longer" Laughing as she de-latched him and saw him pouting.

:Pup hungry!: he whined

:Pup will wait: She scolded

:Yes Alpha-Mother:

Walking in silence the rest of the way to the hut Kagome got lost in her thoughts, 'If Kisho can go through the well what will Mama say? Oh and Jii-chan too. I'm sure Souta will be ecstatic. I'll have to get some shopping done for Kisho, these cloth diapers and moss just isn't cutting it. I can't get dispensable either, so some soft cloth will have to do.' Grinning Kagome thought of some cute little outfits to put Kisho in,

:Pup eat now?:

:No Pup will wait:

'Maybe something with puppies on it! Oh that would be adorable. Poor pup will be spoiled rotten'

:Pup eat now?:

:No Pup will wait:

Whining Kisho snuggled against her. Sighing Kagome reassured him that soon he'd get to eat.

Reaching the hut Kagome walked in, Inuyasha jumping into a tree outside, and sat down in a corner to feed the pup.

:Pup eat now?:

:Yes pup eat now: Kisho yipped as he eagerly latched on and sucked away, being reprimanded once or twice for being too aggressive. 'Yes he definitely knows what he wants.' Sitting against the wall Kagome waited till he was finished with both breasts.

:Pup done:

:Good Pup: Setting him in his little bed she went to talk with the others. "Kagome-sama, Why is it that you have a silver streak? Are you older than we believe?" Shoving a grinning Miroku, Kagome explained the adoption, as they all oo'ed and ah'ed. "Interesting indeed child. Never have I heard about a miko adopting a youkai or even a hanyou. Do you think he with have some miko abilities with your ki residing within him?" Kagome thought for a moment, "No I don't believe so, wouldn't his youki cancel is out? But maybe with some training it could emerge. When he is older we can test the theory, but for right now goodnight everyone. I'm going to go home tomorrow and try and take Kisho with me. "Goodnight 'Gome" "Night Kagome-sama" "Rest easy child"

Picking up Kisho and snuggling into the sleeping bag with him, Kagome fell asleep. Unprepared for what would happen within the next couple of days.
