Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or its characters but I wish I did, but I do own Kagimizu, and many more because they are made up characters.

Summary: InuYasha and Kagome find themselves in a vicious turn, they have to take the role as parents! InuYasha couldn't bare leaving a small have demon girl on her own, she was a mere toddler and he knew how it felt to be alone. So when Kagome agrees to take the demon with them, will the love they have for the child actually bring them closer?

Italic words and ' ' Means thinking! The person is talking to themselves, sounds a bit weird, neh? Example: 'She wouldn't dare.' InuYasha thought.

A little girl with light purple-silver hair, exotic red and amber eyes that resembled shades of fire. Her skin was a peach color as she had two wolf ears that were a mushroom cream as was her tail. She was a wolf demon, her name was Ayamei Hamasaki and her village was burnt to a crisp. Ayamei had gone searching for herbs like her mother told her to but when she came back, everything was destroyed and dead. Ayamei was only two years old and she didn't quite understand the concept of death, she just thought her mother left and was surely coming back. But its been a whole week now and her mother hadn't returned.

"HA! That took care of 'em!" InuYasha smirked as he picked up the two fragments of the Shikon Jewel and placed it in Kagome's open palm. Instantaneously, the jewel shards were purified as Shippo looked at them as he laid his stomach on her shoulder.

"Another job done InuYasha." Shippo cheered as InuYasha merely grinned as the kitsune rooted for him, which was very rare. The gang continued on, it was merely the afternoon.

Miroku looked at InuYasha and then at Kagome, he was feeling a bit tired but he wondered if Kagome was going to speak first, which she usually did. Seeing how Kagome was trying to overpower her tiredness, he decided to take action. "We should find a village and rest InuYasha." the Monk said as amber eyes glared at his violet orbs.

"Tch. I don't think so, suck it up and move along like the rest." InuYasha snapped as Miroku sighed in defeat. Kagome frowned.

"Come on InuYasha, nightfall is about to come soon and resting seems comfortable right about now." the fifteen year old pleaded 'causing the half demon to let out a growl of frustration.

"Fine." InuYasha gave in, he went off to go look for wood while the girls went to bathe with Shippo and Miroku was left alone.

"Guess I'll follow the girls." Miroku said with a lecherous smile on his face as he tip toed, Kirara shook her head and let out a small mew.

Kagome let out a small sigh of relaxation as the heat of the hot springs warmed her body and seemed to comfort her sore feet. Half of her hair clung onto the back of her neck and shoulders. Sango leaned her back against a giant boulder and looked up at the stars that shined brightly as the Moon was in the form of a crescent.

"Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to finally defeat Naraku, what emotions would be there? I know happiness and fulfillment will, but there has to be more, right?" Sango asked as Kagome's cafe colored eyes looked at her reflection in the hot mineral water.

Kagome tried to think about it and she never really thought about what would happen after the defeat of Naraku occurred, what would happen to her and the gang? InuYasha and her? Would they all split apart? Would she stay home? "I really don't know Sango, but its something that would be stuck on my mind. That's for sure." Kagome nodded as Sango let out a small sigh, Shippo looked at the to young women.

"Is it me or does it seem like we're being watched?" Shippo subconsciously added as a scowl appeared on the demon's slayers face, Kagome's face fell along with Shippo.

"MIROKU!!!" Sango shouted.

InuYasha had already made a fire, he looked at the flames silently. He then heard Sango's shriek and shook his head. 'Miroku. . .damn perverted monk.' He placed some pieces of fish into the fire as a stick cut through the middle of them, he heard a soft cry. 'What is that?' He wondered. He sniffed the air as Kirara ran to his side.

"You smell it too, huh Kirara?" InuYasha asked as Kirara mewed and nodded her head. They walked towards the bushes as the cry had gotten louder. InuYasha moved the shrubs, separating them with one on each hand and he saw the small half wolf demon girl. "Huh?" He said, the small girl looked at him with her fire colored eyes.

"Papa?" The girl chirped, her eyes wide as she blinked a few times. InuYasha repeated the action and stared at her with a complete dumbfound expression.

"Papa? What the-" He was cut off but the girl tackled him to the ground, her soft cheek rubbing against his.

"PAPA! Its you!" The wolf demon cried as InuYasha's right eye twitched and he pulled her off, lifting her in the air with his hands.

The girl thought he was playing with her and giggled, clapping her hands together.

"I am not your papa, I'm InuYasha!" He shouted as the half demon girl eyes started to water.

Tears trickled down her cheeks, InuYasha felt her pain. Not having a father around was tough, and seeing how this child was all alone he assumed both her parents were gone. InuYasha felt bad for telling the girl the truth. "Your not. . .papa?" Her voice croaked, showing her sadness. InuYasha couldn't stand the scent of the child's tears, he let out a sigh. He looked around and saw Kirara was next to him, feeling a bit bad for the child. He noticed the girls, Shippo, and Miroku haven't returned. He placed the girl in his lap and hugged her tightly.

"I'm your papa." He whispered in her soft wolf ear. The little girl smiled as she held onto InuYasha.

She rubbed her eyes with her small hands and looked up at him. "Inu-papa, I'm hungry." She pouted as he did a small smile and picked her up, letting her sit on his right shoulder.

"I got somethin' for ya, you like fish?" He asked as the girl nodded.

"Kagi loves fish!" The purple-silver haired demon smiled as InuYasha led her back to the camp.
