"Makoto," Inuyasha walked about the hut searching for his son. He scratched his head with confusion. He was glad that Sango took Kagome out of their home for a while to take a short break and let her be relaxed and without any worries of Makoto.

Kagome wasn't too fond of it, but Inuyasha surprisingly told her to go and relax as long as she was near the village. He recalled her saying that she wasn't a child and she can perfectly take care of herself.

"Keh, she is a clumsy wench," Inuyasha muttered. His thoughts broke when he remembered the one thing that was most important at the moment. "Makoto!" he called out once more, his voice began to rise.

He heard a little laugh come from behind him and with that, Inuyasha turned around and noticed his eleven month year old boy smirking with his small fangs over his bottom lip.

"You trying to sneak up on me are ya?" Inuyasha questioned, quickly snatching Makoto in his arms and tossing him in the air, but not too high. The hut filled with Makoto's bubbly laughter.

"Inuyasha!" he heard from outside, recognizing the kit's voice anywhere. Inuyasha also noticed his son hear Shippo call out for him from the constant twitching of his ears and how they turned in the direction of the kit's shout.

"Hey Makoto," Shippo said with a ear-to-ear smile, his bushy tail moved in content look up at his little brother. "Hey Shippo, you doing okay?" Inuyasha asked looking down at the kitsune.

"Really great I went up two ranks but they are getting harder everytime I advance. Where is Okaa-san?" Shippo asked scanning the room.

"She's out with Sango," Inuyasha answered, lifting Makoto up as the young pup pulled one of his forelocks. Makoto laughed in delight. Shippo grinned,"You made a good toy for both the twins and now Makoto."

Inuyasha growled in annoyance at his remark and tried to get his son to let go of his hair. Makoto's eyes bulged at his father's growls and his hand reclined but then went onto the beads that were around his father's neck. Inuyasha smiled, right after Makoto used his powers for the first time, Kagome took off the subjugation spell from the necklace and he decided just to wear it since it was what connected them in the first place.

"Inuyasha? Makoto? Hello?" they all turned to the bamboo matted door when Kagome entered with a basket in her arms.

"Okaa-san!" Shippo semi shouted, but not to loud for it would hurt Makoto's ears with his high regular shouts.

"Shippo," Kagome placed the basket in time for her to catch her adopted son that jumped into her arms. Makoto's bottom lip quivered and he began to cry.

Kagome looked over to Makoto and tilted her head to the side,"Sweety, what's wrong," she walked over to her son that was in Inuyasha's arms.

Inuyasha stared at his son as well, nothing was wrong with him. He didn't smell any pain on...he chuckled at his son's cries earning a glare from his wife. "What's so funny? Our son is crying!" she half asked and half yelled at him.

"The pup's just jealous that you are holding Shippo and not him," Inuyasha answered. Shippo's eyes widened then saddened,"I didn't mean to make Makoto cry." Kagome switched her gaze from Makoto to Shippo who's eyes watered.

"Don't worry Shippo, the pup is suppose to be like that," Inuyasha said, smirking at the kit. Shippo sniffed and nodded, remembering the time that his adoptive father said that men never showed their tears.

Makoto's ears twitched at his mother' sigh and watched her sit beside them. Inuyasha let Makoto crawl over to Kagome and place himself on her lap and smiled at her. Shippo was on Kagome's shoulder and grinned at his little brother.

Makoto's attention went toward the bushy tail of that of the fox kit and pulled it. Shippo yelped and jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Sweety, that wasn't nice," Kagome said staring down at her son who had a smirk just like his father. Makoto's blue eyes shot to the door as Inuyasha shot to the hilt of his tetsusaiga that was leaning against the wall beside him.

"Kagome, you and Makoto and Shippo stay here. I'll deal with the problem," Inuyasha told them and ran out the door to face what ever demon it was. Before she can realize what was going on, Shippo ran out of the door following Inuyasha. Kagome shouted his name but the young kit did not listen.

Makoto began to cry for his father and older brother sensing the trouble outside.

He could hear the loud cries of his son. Inuyasha had the transformed tetsusaiga in his hand and it was pointed at the snake demon yards away from him. "I heard a half demon lived in this forest and was feared by some, but I see nothing but a weakling," it had said.

"Keh then take a good look in the mirror," Inuyasha retorted. He would not let that snake demon anywhere near his family. His ear's twitched to the sounds of Shippo calling for him.

"Shippo go back to Kagome," Inuyasha growled at the kit. Shippo was by his side and clenched his hands into tight fists at his side.

Shippo shook his head,"No. I'll stand by you. You might not like it, but if anything happened to you...Otou-san, I'll be upset."

It was the first time Shippo ever called him his father. Inuyasha began to get even more worried when he noticed Kagome and their son walking out of their hut and to their direction. "Kagome, get yourself and Makoto out of here and far away from this fight!" Inuyasha shouted.

A full out battle will commence and Inuyasha was plagued with fear that danger will happen to his family. It appeared that the snake demon had a small army of it's kind and it gathered up behind the leader.

"Keh, is that all you got," Inuyasha remarked and saw Kagome retreating, only to get her bow and arrows. It was all too soon when the hoards of demons were going in their direction.

Kagome had her bow in arrow, but with their eleven month year old son in her arms she couldn't fire any arrows. Kagome hated not being able to help out, she cared for the safety of their child. Although, she cared about Inuyasha being in danger as well.

Time stood still, in horror she watched Inuyasha being attacked from all around and Shippo as well. She heard the words,"Fox fire," and "Wind scar," here and there. That would make her even more nervous and she felt Makoto squirming in her arms.

He would open his mouth to say things, but he would just babble. Kagome bit the bottom of her lip, there was a huge dust cloud that she couldn't see a thing.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome said helpless from the side lines. She couldn't see him, where was he? Where was Shippo? Her eyes watered in desperation, "INUYASHA!"

Inuyasha heard his mate call for him, but he was concerned for the young kit that laid on the ground covered in dirt. "Shippo, stand back," he told him. Shippo nodded and stood behind him and noticed the bands of snake even a few lizard demons starting to gather to attack once more.

"I had enough...WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha shouted angrily and killed off the demons, disintegrating them into ash. "Keh, bunch of-"

"Daddy..."

That one word made his heart stop and he slowly turned around. It wasn't the kit's voice. It was his son's.

"Inuyasha! Are you alright?!" Kagome called off, running to them. "Don't you ever tell me to leave when I know that you are in trouble," Kagome cried out to him as she stopped a few feet from them.

Shippo stared at Makoto, surely Kagome must have heard Makoto say his first word. No she couldn't have because the young pup had said it in a whisper for only demon's or in Inuyasha's case, to hear his word.

"What is wrong? You aren't hurt are you? Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha stepped to her and looked at Makoto that was in her arms.

"Pup, say that again," he said. Inuyasha wanted to make sure it was no illusion or him losing his sense of hearing. Kagome still didn't know what was going on but noticed their son start to open his mouth.

"Daddy...okay?" Makoto questioned.

Inuyasha smiled and nodded,"Yes, daddy's okay." Makoto was given to Inuyasha and placed his head on his father's shoulder. "Daddy okay," the young pup confirmed and closed his eyes.
