I'm sorry about the wait, but Christmas is a busy time of year.

Disclaimer: You all know what should be said here.

When he finally got to the village and after killing some self-proclaimed "Thunder Brothers, he started looking for a miko to heal his mom. Almost immediately he found some villagers but before he could say anything, they were surrounding him with bows and arrows. He was confused when they didn't attack, but when a miko walked to him he understood why they waited.

"Youkai, why are you here and why is there a human in your arms?" the miko said, and he noticed even though he saw physically she was beautiful, but she lacked emotions like happiness that made the few people that liked him so nice and lively.

" Actually I'm a hanyou and my mom was attacked by a youkai when we were distracted."

The moment he said he was a hanyou, he could hear the whispers, but he came here to help his mom.

"Why should we help?" One villager asked.

"You would deny a hurt human, especially someone who used to live here?"

"Is that so? Then let's go to Kaede, come hanyou."

Once they had dropped off his mom at Kaede's, she told him to wander around until his mom was awake.

Later

Inuyasha had been wandering without paying attention for 30 minutes when he thought he saw the miko from earlier but when he approached he realized her scent was slightly different.

"I didn't think anyone with even a drop of youkai blood would be allowed in the village." The unknown girl said.

"Well my mom is hurt and she lived here before she meet my dad."
" But then where's your dad?"

"He died." He said simply, trying to cover up his sorrow, but it wasn't working.

"Well, do you have any other family?"

"My brother, but he kicked me out when dad died. He blames me for dad's death, and Sesshomaru can be pretty mad, and the worst part is… IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!"

Wait, why am I telling her? I don't even know her name.

"Your brother is Sesshomaru?!"

"So, what does it matter. He practically disowned me."

"But he's so cold and unemotional."

"Feh, he looked pretty happy before dad died and he looked really angry and sad when it happened."

"Okay, well…um, I don't even know your name do I? My name is Kagome."
"Well my name is Inuyasha and-"
"Kagome!"

That voice sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't see the person who had spoken.

"Oh, hello Shippo. What do you want?"

"Hello Kagome, Kaede needs your help with the healing and she needs you to find Izayoi's son, his name is Inuy- Inukasha."

"It's Inuyasha, squirt." Inuyasha was surprised that Shippo was here. "Where are your parents squirt."

"They we-were kill by the Thunder Brothers." At that moment Shippo dissolved into tears.

"It's okay, Shippo. Actually I might have killed them, what were their names?"
"The human-looking one was Hiten and the brother was Manten."

"Well, it looks like a killed them, and now I now what to do with these fox furs."

He pulled out a couple of fox furs that he had found on the dead brothers and gave them to Shippo.

"You can bury your parents now, Shippo."

"Well I have no idea what's going on, but my powers our needed."

While they were walking home, ignoring Shippo's constant thank-yous, they stared at each other and Inuyasha thought he might have finally found a home.
