Chapter 1

"See you guys on Monday. I gotta go get Souta." Kagome Higurashi, 3rd year high school student said, waving bye for the day; leaving to go pick up her young brother, from his elementary school.

"Hey, Kagome wait a sec." Eri called for her attention.

"When you go past the shed can you put these back in there, please?" Eri asked handing her a bucket and a mop.

"Sure, no problem." She replied with items in hand heading in the direction of the shed.

Walking in the shed, Kagome placed the mop and bucket against the back corner wall, then turn to leave. On her way out the shed she heard what sounded like a baby animal mewing; that had been trapped inside somewhere.

Trying to find the source of the sound she stumbles upon a baby carrier underneath one of the desk there covered in a light blanket. Then something underneath the blanket started to move, as the mewing grew to a cry.

Wondering why there would be an infant carrier in the school shed; Kagome picked the carrier from under the desk and placed it on top of it. Whatever was in the blanket continued to cry.

Removing the blanket from whatever it covered Kagome was surprised to find a tiny baby nestled inside the carrier. From first glance at the baby, it was a baby girl. A newborn baby girl.

Looking back under the desk for some kind of note about the baby or her parents. Under her foot lay a piece of paper the looked promising. Picking it up she read it.

Please, to whoever is the first to find this child

take her into your home and love her and raise her as your own

She is only 3 days old and has yet to be named.

Please take care of my baby; I leave naming her up to you.

I just asked that you do not take her to the police or put

her up for adoption but take care of her like you own daughter.

Thank you.

Kagome read the letter a few more times as she processed what just happened. Some one had just abandoned their newborn baby, and who ever was the first to find her was to take her in as their own; not even having the choice of putting the baby up adoption or anything. Kagome now find herself in a bind.

As Kagome looked over the letter once more the baby in the carrier started to fuss

'She's probably hungry.' She though not knowing how long the baby was in this shed alone. Not able to farther ponder her thoughts she heard someone else coming toward the shed.

"Yeah I'm on my way now." She recognized the voice; it belonged to Inuyasha Takashi. Kagome listened as his foots steps got closer hoping he would just walk past and not find her in there with a baby.

"What are you doing?" he asked her when he spotted her in the shed on his way by.

"Um-" she knew she could hide something like a baby form him.

"I found something in here that shouldn't be here but I can't really go to any body about it."

"What are you talking about?" he asked watching her move over to some inside the shed.

"Come in here." She told him; standing at an old deck, with something perched on top of it. Coming inside the shed he saw that it was some kind of carrier but what was in side of it was what surprised him.

"What the, why the hell is there a baby in here?" he asked in shock

"My question too. But from this note I found; some one left their 3-day baby in here, wanting whoever found the baby to take care of her and not put her up." Kagome said showing him the note she had found.

"Her?"

"Yeah she's a girl."

Then after reading the letter his self, Inuyasha asked

"So what are you gonna do about this?" giving the letter back.

"I don't know, I mean they want me to take in a new born baby. I'm still in school for one thing. Why would some even think to leave their baby in a school shed?" she said a little frantic.

In the carrier the infant began to fuss, again, so using her hand Kagome gently rocked the seat to sooth the baby.

"What am I going to do?" she asked quietly as the baby was again sleeping.

"Well first let get out of the shed and take her to the hospital. Maybe they can identify her and find the parents. And if not do what ever." he answered

Taking Inuyasha's advice Kagome along with Inuyasha took the baby to the nearest hospital. There they learned there was no record of the baby's birth and at the hospital or any other hospitals in the area.

The baby was then given a physical exam and was given a bill of health by the pediatric doctor. Having the doctor also read the letter that was left with the baby, the doctor believed they were to young to be taking care of such a young baby and should but placed in a foster home.

But unfortunate for them; there currently wasn't any place where the baby could be placed in on short notice and the hospital nursery had no room for her.

Kagome then stepped in volunteering to take the baby in as a foster child since she had also had custody of her little brother; since she was now eighteen. Inuyasha even volunteered to help Kagome out with the baby, which the doctor was comfortable with. So with a crash course in parenting a newborn; Kagome and Inuyasha were able to take the baby who they named Kiana (moon goddess). But as they strapped Kiana into Inuyasha's car Kagome realized that it was getting late and had forgot all about picking up her brother.
