Sango's new role

Part 3

Inuyasha woke from his
light slumber when he heard a baby cry. His ears perked up and he was on his
feet in the turn of a second. He moved towards the cry and his newly awakened
mind cleared up. It was the baby hanyou. He opened the door to Sango’s room and
peeked inside. Sango was asleep, something that confused Inuyasha. Sango had
never been a heavy sleeper. He made up his mind about invading her personal
space and walked inside. He gently moved Seiya from her place on Sango’s stomach
and he hushed her with his purring voice. The cry stopped almost immediately and
she looked at him with her big eyes. He smiled to her and was rewarded with a
happy giggle. He then moved to check on Sango, he listened carefully at her
heart and breathing. He took a deep sniff at her, he was glad to say that she
was not sick. But when she began to whimper he got worried again. Something was
not right with the slayer. He heard her mumble names, Kohaku and Kagome, she
called her father. Inuyasha almost jumped out of his skin when she screamed.

-         
DON’T LEAVE ME!!!

“Shit, she is having
nightmares. I must do something.”
he thought but for a few moments he was at loss of what to do. He would ponder
later about he actually managed to get Sango into his lap while holding the
child with one arm. But he did and he nuzzled her neck, purring in his try to
soothe her pained sleep.

-         

I will not leave you Sango-chan. I will never leave you
again, he whispered softly into her hair, hoping that his words would penetrate
her nightmares.

And somehow perhaps they
did, because she calmed down and pushed her face into his throat, sighing when
she felt the warmth of his skin. Her hand grabbed his haori in a possessive
manner and she sighed again.

When the dawn broke the
dark skies Inuyasha gently put Sango back on her futon. He covered her with the
quilt and made sure she was still asleep.

-         

Come, let get you some more milk Seiya, he whispered to the
pup and walked to the kitchen area.

-         

[gurgle]

-         

Yeah, I agree little one. She is nice, I like her too, smiled
Inuyasha not having a clue what so ever what the little pup was gurgling about.

He found the bowl with
milk; he sniffed it and took a small sip of it. It was still ok to drink he
decided. But how would he go about it to give it to the child, his claws was in
the way. He shrugged and bit of the claw on his little finger, it would grow
back before the afternoon he guessed, and he took the finger into his mouth
sucked it clean before putting it into the milk. He was delighted to see that
even his finger was good for the pup. She let out a baby sound as she suckled
his finger to get more milk into her mouth.

-         

Good girl, he whispered as he fed her the milk.

When she refused to take
his finger he guessed that she was not hungry anymore. But after a few minutes
she began to whine, and he was at loss. What was the matter now?

Funny how instincts work.
Inuyasha took her to rest against his shoulder and he gently patted her back,
hoping that she would stop crying. A small burp could be heard and the whining
stopped. Inuyasha’s face was pure confusion. Was that all? No, wait…. Ihhhuuuu…

“Man that is just…”
thought Inuyasha and saw the white yucky former milk that was spewed down his
back. He sighed and put the girl down and he removed his red haori. Had the milk
been bad after all? No, the girl looked just happy, she was even smiling.
Inuyasha melted on the spot and promised her to be her devoted protector for an
eternity. She was the most precious thing he ever had seen.

-         

Come, let us clean up your little mess before Sango-chan
wakes up ok? he said to the girl.

He peeked into the
bedroom and saw Sango sleeping still. “Good, no nightmares either. But for
how long have you had them?” he wondered and walked outside to the little
stream that flowed not far from Sango’s house.

And it was there by the
stream that Sango found them.
