Last time:
Nagi's thoughts were broken as her father suddenly appeared in front of her and pulled her into a tight hug. Nagi hugged back with all her might, crying a bit.
"Nagi I love you and if your happy then I'm happy…….. You have no reason to be sorry……. I was a dump ass as your mother might say………. Nagi I understand what you must have gone threw and I'm proud that you've pulled threw"
"thank you papa"
Taro stood there smiling Inuyasha was very understanding when it came to his daughter. Taro thought of his mother just then… she was over protective, just like Inuyasha but it was out of love that parents did this to them. Kagome walked over and joined in on the hug between father and daughter. The three hugged each other tightly. Taro turned to walk away for a bit thinking this was a family moment he didn't want to intrude.
"And where are you going?" Inuyasha barked
"I….well I don't know…." Said taro
"Come here taro" kagome said smiling "welcome to the family"
Inuyasha nodded at him with a smile on his face as well. Taro ran back to them and joined in on the family hug. He was family now, and even Inuyasha excepted it.
Chapter 13- the orphaned new born kit
The next day, Inuyasha and the gang headed out to continue their search for Nuraku. Taro and Nagi walked hand in hand leading the rest of the group. Kagome and Sango thought it was the cutest thing. Even the protective Inuyasha thought it was sweet. Kio and Kirara played together by jumping from shoulder to shoulder, from head to head.
They walked for hours. As they walked along a rice field Nagi's ears picked up a faint sound that her motherly instincts could not ignore. In a flash she let go of Taro's hand and ran off into the tall grass.
"Nagi?" Taro called
"It's alright" Nagi called back "I just got a little side tracked I'll be there in a moment"
The gang waited for her to reappear. They heard her say 'poor dear' to something before she came out of the tall grass holding a bundle of fur in her arms. Taro's eyes were glued to the little bundle. She smiled at him as she revealed a baby fox demon less than a month old.
"I heard her whimper her mother is over there on the ground dead" announced Nagi "so I'm going to be her new mother"
Everyone's mouth dropped. They looked at the small fox demon with in Nagi's arms. She was very small and every cute. Her fur was a brown orange mix. Her little kimono was black. Her big blue eyes studied everyone face. When taro approached her, she squeaked and hid her face in Nagi's kimono top.
"What?" Nagi asked a little annoyed now "I'm her new mother and that's that"
"Nagi it's not safe to bring a baby along with us you'll have to leave her" Inuyasha said to his daughter.
"No" snarled Nagi "I'll protect her! I can't just leave her she would surly die if I left her Taro will agree with me on becoming her parents won't you Taro?"
"If it is what you want then she is my daughter as well and I'd be proud to help you raise her as our first hire of the wolf demon tribe" Taro spoke up
"Then she's coming with us right kagome?" Miroku and Sango said together as they thought of their own children
"Of course!" smiled kagome "yea! I have a granddaughter…..wait that means……..I'm old!"
While kagome and Sango were complaining and freaking out about being old, Taro walked over to his mat and new daughter.
"What shall we name her?" Taro asked Nagi
"Hmmm how about Aijou because it means love and affection which she will truly receive" said Nagi "yes that is the perfect name for her, hello my little Aijou"
Taro took Aijou into his arms and smiled a toothy smile at he's new daughter. Aijou giggled as he snuggled his head against hers. Taro then handed his new daughter to Nagi and watched as Nagi cradled Aijou in her arms with such protective motherly love.
He would have to be more protect than ever now that they had a child. For he new Nagi would not let Aijou out of her arms when danger was about and there for she would focus all of her strength protecting their child instead of herself. So he would need to protect his love and daughter which he didn't mind a bit as long as they were safe.
Kagome watched as her daughter and son in-law bonded with their new daughter.
'Aijou reminds me so much of Shippou when he was young, but we I had found him he was at last 1 years old' thought kagome 'Aijou isn't even a month old by the looks of it….I wonder if because Aijou reminds Nagi of Shippou so much that that is the reason she took her in with out any thoughts of finding out if she could live with one of the near by villagers….. But I know she will be a good mom"
Aijou yawned deeply and began to fall asleep in her mother arms. Taro and Nagi watched their little girl drift off to sleep. Nagi called Kio to her and asked if it would be alright if she rode him while Aijou was asleep. Kio happily meowed as fire engulfed him and he grew to his full size.
Nagi hopped on and Kio flew gracefully in the air just a few feet above the gang. Sango hopped on Kirara so that Nagi, Kio and the sleeping Aijou would have extra protection if they were attacked.
