I was looking around wondering when the sun was going to come up when i heard a infant crying and before Inuyasha or i could stop myself i panicked and jumped up grabbing my bows and arrows then taking off into the surrounding forest. "Kagome!" i heard Inuyasha yell my name a few times. Following the crying i came across Sesshomaru and immediately slowed. "What are you doing here." he demanded as he looked around as if he was looking for something. "I have a feeling a baby is in trouble..." I told him before the cry began again and i took off climbing over a fallen tree. I was surprised when i saw him running beside me. Why is he near me? He hates human's i thought. Coming into a feild i saw a huge bear demon attacking a family of Inu yukai. I shot some arrows at it and drew it's attention to me but not before it killed the older ones. "NO!" I yelled and rushed forward having to duck as it tried to kill me. The growl of the demon scared me but i was more concerned with the inu yukai to care that i was in danger. The crying much louder now started again and the bear went after it, that's when i saw the infant and without thinking launched myself between the baby and the bear. I expected to die right then but instead Sesshomaru killed it with one swipe of his claws. I gently picked up the baby and was shocked at how blue the eyes were. "Plea-please miko, take care of my d-daughter." i looked to the voice and saw a woman lying next to a man and both extremely injured, i knelt beside them and was supprised that i was crying as the tears hit the dirt beneath me.

"I promise that i will and that no harm with come to her." I told the woman who was some how still alive... but died only a minute after with a weak smile on her face. "Miko." My head snapped up and i saw Sesshomaru was still here. "Yes?" i said as i carefully stood up as the babe snuggled into my chest. "Where is Inuyasha? If you plan to keep the babe i will need to talk to him." He told me obviously expecting for me to take him to our camp. "I don't know he left some time ago to go hunting." i lied, knowing that Inuyasha wouldn't want me to bring his brother to him when he was human. I picked up my bow and arrows and began to walk back the direction i came, but was forced to stop when Sesshomaru grabbed my shoulder. "Inu yukai babes are nothing like a humans, at her age she would be eating raw meat." he told me a cold indifference as he looked into my eyes. "I understand... i just wish i hade been able to save her parents." i admitted not wanting her to have to live her life like Shippo had to live his. "It was unnessary for them to lose their lives." he said and i felt bad for what had happened. "Sesshomaru... why did you come with me here?" i asked him wondering if he would even answer, he did infact ignore me. I was relieved when the sun came up and looked up at him. "I think Inuyasha will be back by now, i'll take you to him." he nodded and let go of my shoulder.

When i got back to camp i was met with a low growl as Inuyasha roughly pulled me to him. "Just where did you run off to!" he yelled in my face and i flinched. "Inuyasha." Came Sesshomaru's voice behind me and he stopped and looked up. "What are you doing here!" he snapped. "I'm surprised you did not notice half breed." Inuyasha let me go and when he went to pull me behind him he ended up being grabbed by the baby and he looked down to see and tiny baby smiling up at him as she squeezed his finger. "The miko found a family of inu yukai being attacked by the bear and saved the infant. The babe's mother entrusted the girl with the babe before dieing. I have come to tell you something hanyou and listen well i will not repeat myself." Inuyasha glanced up and i could tell he really wasn't concerning with Sesshomaru right now. "Then spit it out i don't have all day." he snapped. The two brothers talked for hours as Sesshomaru explained how to care for the infant and i listened intently at the same time thinking of a name for the beatiful blacked haired blue eyed baby girl in my arms.

Shippo decided that Sesshomaru was safe enough to be around right now ran up to me and became to play with the baby. I had come up with a name but i felt as if i should see what Sesshomaru thought of the name since he had helped me save her. Not to long after he stood up to leave. "Wait." i said and he looked at me. "I was wondering what you thought of the name Yuri?" i had decided that since i love Lily's i would like to name her after one. He nodded before turning away and disapearing in the forest. "Kagome... how do you expect to be able to care for this child while were looking for the shards of the shikon jewel." Inuyasha demanded as he looked down at Yuri. "Honestly i don't know but i won't abandon her and i promised her mother i would care for her. Wether you like it or not she's here to stay Inuyasha." I told him and he reached for her, it didn't surprise me i had expected it since he first saw her and i handed her to him. "Kagome are you sure you want to do this?" Sango asked me as she sat beside me. Before i could answer she began to cry. Inuyasha stood up and gave her back to me. "I'll be back, i'm going to get her some food." i smiled. "Thank you Inuyasha" I called as he took off into the forest.

Inuyasha's POV

What am i going to do? The baby... Yuri is going to be in to much danger and that idiot promised her mother that she would care for her. Worse i had to actually pay attention to Sesshomaru for 2 hours! I would have been happy to just rip his throat out but no i couldn't do that cause Kagome and for some reason he thought that i needed to know how to raise a inu yukai to...let the stupid girl deal with him, the baby is not my problem... Quickly killing a rabbit i skinned it and brought it back to Kagome who was sitting on the ground and humming queitly. She looked like a mother right now, i was use to her sounding like one with Shippo around after all as far as she was concerned he was her son. Taking my claws i cut the meat small enough for the infant to eat i sat beside Kagome and held it out for her. She took a peice and gently held the meat infront of Yuri and let her smell it then put the peice in her mouth. The babe finished that peice quickly and Kagome gave her more before she started to whine. I looked around sniffing the air, there was nothing to worry about expect that child. It was hard enough to take care of Kagome and Shippo.

Kagome's POV

Yuri finished eating soon and i stood up laying her down on my sleeping bag making sure she was covered up before i went to my bag and pulled and the bento's my mom sent me with. I queitly gave everyone their food and chopsticks before going to sit beside Yuri. Once everyone was done i looked in my bag for the shirt Kaede gave me to keep warm before we left the village and tied it around my body so it hung off one shoulder and made the perfect sling so that i could carry Yuri and still use my weapon if need be, putting everything away i gently picked up Yuri and put her in the sling careful not to wake her, then put my quiver on my other shoulder and the bow it. Looking at my bag i picked it up and tried to figure out where i was going to put it. Inuyasha came up and snatched the bag away from me and slipped his arms into the straps. "Thank you." i said feeling bad that i had inconvienced him again. "Ya ya" he muttered.
