Authors note: thank you all for the reviews

Last time:

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.

Ch 14- Hiten and Ginta

Taro and Nagi sat together in a tree as they watched their new daughter sleep with in her mother's arms. Aijou was the cutest thing Nagi had ever seen, Aijou had green eyes, and her fur was a mix of orange and brown. Kagome watched Nagi cradle Aijou, just as she had done with Nagi when she was that small. Kagome smiled having gotten over the whole age thing, because she and Sango were the same age and agreed that 28 was not that old. Kagome walked over to here beloved husband and sat beside of him. He was watching Nagi cradle Aijou as well. Kagome knew he was thinking that Nagi was too young to have a daughter; in fact she was two years younger than when kagome gave birth to Nagi. Nagi was only 13 and Inuyasha knew how hard it was to be a parent, and all to quickly he's little girl was growing up and there wasn't a thing he could do now.

"Inuyasha is something bothering you?" kagome asked sweetly though she already knew the answer was yes.

"She's too young to have a child" he said "why could you have raised the brat? Nagi just isn't ready for this"

"Inuyasha she is the one who found Aijou not me, and whether we like it or not she's growing up and already as a mate" she said calmly "And did you think of who Aijou would remind Nagi of?"

Inuyasha looked at her with confusion "No who?

"Shippou"

"Oh….. I thought she was over him………so she found a kit that reminds her of Shippou why wouldn't she give it for you to raise?"

"because her motherly instincts and her memory of Shippou drove her to love to child as her own and the need and wish to protect and raise the child as her own flesh and blood is great so there's no way Nagi and her mate will ever give that child up, I mean look at them already they look like a little family that loves each other with all of their hearts, taro won't even let me near the child with out Nagi's say so, he is proving to be a great mate and protective loving father, Inuyasha we all we can do is help Nagi protect Aijou and defeat Nuraku if we ever find him"

Inuyasha pulled kagome into a tight hug, he knew she was right. He had to let go of the little girl that use to be and move on and protect her and he's new granddaughter.

Taro jumped down from the tree and walked away into the brush. Inuyasha and kagome watched him disappear. But knew not of what he was doing. Soon taro returned with arms full of grass and leaves. He walked over to the tree and set the grass and leaves at the base of the tree before again disappearing into the brush, only to return with move. He did this about 3 more times. Then he set to work spreading in out. He then reached into he's bag and grabbed his last fur cloak. Nagi jumped down from the tree with Aijou. Nagi laid Aijou onto the nest that taro had made for them all to sleep in. Nagi and taro then laid down, taro to the right of Aijou and Nagi to the left, so that Aijou was in the middle of them. Taro pulled the cloak over his mate and daughter and him self. Soon they were all in a deep sleep.

Inuyasha and kagome smiled at the two young parents. And were surprised at how well the two were doing in taking care of their first baby. Sango and Miroku join Inuyasha and kagome.

"So Inuyasha how is it being a grandfather now?" joked Miroku

Inuyasha smirked and knew Miroku was trying to get him to start something like old times "it's alright I'm just watching this two do a surprisingly well job in taking care of their first pup"

Kagome and Sango giggled at the two goof balls they married. Both Miroku and Inuyasha looked at their wives then to each other and smiled. Sango and kagome giggled again and dashed away knowing that if they didn't get them then they would be the ones caught. It was just like old times when they were newly weds the two couples played this game often, the loser did what the winner wished, well almost what ever the winner wanted. Inuyasha and Miroku needed up losing and had to give their wives back rubs and for the next 3 day they also had to catch and cook the food. Soon every one was asleep.

At dawn Taro was the first to wake. He got out of the nest he made with out walking his mate, who was now holding their daughter close to her as she slept. Taro smiled at them and then set off into the forest to hunt for their morning meal. Nagi opened her eyes to see Taro was no longer asleep beside her. Careful not to wake her baby she sat up and found that taro wasn't even at camp. She could see her father and mother sleeping in a big tree, Sango and Miroku at the base of that very same tree, Kio and Kirara curled up together 2 feet away from Sango and Miroku. But no Taro, she wondered if he had gone off some where to have some alone time. Surly he didn't go home, abandoning her and the baby.

Crack

A twig snapped behind her. She snarled, she grabbed her baby and jumped into the tree. Aijou, frightened, began to cry. Waking Inuyasha who woke kagome causing kagome to fall onto Miroku and Sango who screamed with shock. Inuyasha bolted towards the bushes of which Nagi had snarled at. He spotted Nagi in the tree protectively holding the crying Aijou. Inuyasha's nose caught the scent of intruder's. He jumped into the bushes and attacked the intruder's. Nagi saw her father attack who ever was there. She heard the intruder's scream as Inuyasha kicked them out into the open. They were wolf demons. That Nagi had never seen before. She jumped down from the tree, being taro's mate she was unafraid of them.

Kagome ran up and was shock to see the familiar wolf demons "Ginta? Hiten? What are you two doing here?"

"Sister Kagome!" they both said as they hid behind her from Inuyasha "we were sent on Ayame's orders to bring her son prince taro home and not to return till we do"

"Why?" asked Nagi.

Ginta looked at her and Aijou "We can't tell you"

Hiten sniff the air, and discovered that Nagi's scent had taro scent all over her and the enfant "tell me why you smell like taro" he asked Nagi

Nagi let a low growl leave her throat as she glared at him.

"I'll tell you why" taro's voice rang out

Taro stepped threw the brush with two arms full of fish that he had caught. He set the fish down and walked to Nagi's side. He could sense that she wasn't pleased with the way Hiten and Ginta were talking to her. Taro called at the still frightened Aijou that hid her small face in her mother kimono top.

"Nagi is my mate!" taro proclaimed "Aijou our daughter that is why they have my scent you dope"

Hiten and Ginta bowed in shame how could they have missed the mark on her neck? They felt stupid. Then they smiled a toothy smile at them.

"Hiten Ginta what did my mother want? These people are family to us no so what ever you have to say can be said in front of them" taro ordered.

"Well you see lady Ayame wants you to come for a bit and she wishes to meet the friend you went to fight Nuraku with" said Hiten
