To know him is to love him

To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do -Dolly Parton

Sesshomaru walked through a dew covered field the wind slightly blowing and the moonlight illuminating everything as far as the eye could see. He stopped suddenly there was a noise on the wind. Cautiously he stepped closer and closer and walked up to what appeared to be a an old reed basket. There was something moving around under a scrap of old threadbare cloth.

Kagome watched from her hiding place as Sesshomaru walked aimlessly in the field, her curiosity flared to life when she noticed him take on the cautious stance that only he could pull off. She crept over to him as silent as a cat and peered over his shoulder, already knowing that he was aware of her presence.

Sesshomaru removed the cloth and his eyes widened ever so slightly, there in the basket was a baby, it was maybe a week old at the most. Kagome gasped this wasn’t a human baby or a demon baby it was half of the two a hanyou an Inu hanyou. Sesshomaru growled this was not what he needed.

Kagome all but pushed Sesshomaru out of the way to get to the baby, she picked it up gently and it’s whimpers and wiggling ceased.

“No, absolutely not.” Sesshomaru said as he watched Kagome coo and smile at the baby. Kagome shot him a glare that could freeze hell every year for eternity.

“I’m not going to leave him in a basket in the middle of a cold wet field so get over it, besides I want him and he needs me.” Kagome said as she kissed the infants nose. Sesshomaru growled and snatched the baby from out of her arms and sniffed him. Kagome grabbed for the baby but Sesshomaru turned his back to her. After a minute or two of fearing for the baby’s life she heard Sesshomaru sigh.

“It is against my instincts to let this whelp live, but judging by the fear in your scent you are already attached to him and if I kill him I will be no better than Naraku killing the kitsune you thought of as your own.” Sesshomaru said quietly as he stared down at the sleeping child who looked so much like another hanyou whose life had been very brief. Sesshomaru turned back to Kagome and handed her the baby.

“Thank you.” Kagome said while looking at the baby her hand rubbing the little white puppy ears on the baby’s head. Sesshomaru gave her a nod and led her back to camp. “What should we name him?” she asked. Sesshomaru glanced at her.

“That is not my problem the pup is your responsibility and yours alone I will not get myself involved.” Sesshomaru said coldly. Kagome looked at him in complete disbelief.

“What’s your problem? He’s just a baby I couldn’t leave him. So why are you being such a jerk?” Kagome asked angrily.

“Because looking at you holding him reminds me that I failed my father and I...failed my little brother.” He stated his voice leaking a hint of sadness. Kagome watched him silently for a moment.

“What do you mean you failed them?” she asked. Sesshomaru turned and looked at her.

“My father wanted me to protect Inuyasha when he was too young to protect himself and I refused, I stood by when his mother was attacked I was in the vicinity I heard her pleas along with Inuyasha’s to spare her and I did nothing and she died from her injuries and I left Inuyasha to fend for himself.” Sesshomaru said as he stared into the moon. Kagome held the baby in one arm and wrapped her free arm around Sesshomaru.

“Maybe this little guy is Kami’s way of telling you to try again, that you have a second chance I mean you found him for a reason...we’re your second chance Sesshomaru, I love you and he will too.” Kagome said her head resting on his arm. Sesshomaru hugged her back.

“I haven’t hugged anyone like this since my mother died.” he whispered somewhat embarrassed to appear so weak. Kagome smiled and snuggled closer to him.

“I have no clue how we’re going to feed him.” Kagome said. Sesshomaru gave a nod.

“What are you going to call him?” Sesshomaru asked as he looked down at the two people he was holding.

“Inuyasha.” She said.
