Squeee...! Is that even a word? I don't know about you, but it was the first thing that came out of my mouth when I began to type for this one-shot. Its been so long since I've written anything. So I'm going to start small. It's difficult typing with one hand. So enjoy this little mini story, I hope it's to your liking!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha!

Kagome walked along side of her husband in the village. "Good morning Kagome-sama," by passing villagers said as they walked.

"Good morning," Kagome said to them with a smile. Makoto was sitting on his father's shoulders busy playing with his father's ears. "Oi, quit that," Inuyasha said gruffly but playfully to his son.

"Makoto," Kagome reached up to get him, not seeing that her son still had a hold of her husband's ear. "Ah...Kagome," Inuyasha growled when Makoto didn't let go. Kagome laughed quietly after she pried her son's hands away from his ears.

"Maybe if you didn't twitch them so much in front of him you wouldn't have been in that situation," she told him.

Inuyasha crossed his arms with a frown on his face. "Papa angry?" Makoto asked, he was held in his mother's arms, one hand around her neck and the other on her kosode. Inuyasha smiled reassuring the one year old pup that he wasn't angry with him.

"Demon! Demon in the village!" a man shouted from afar. Inuyasha smelt it, it was a poison youkai and he gripped onto tetsusaiga's handle. "Kagome, go to Kaede-baba and stay there, I want you and Makoto to stay away from here," Inuyasha told her.

This was the worst day to not take her bow and arrows with her. Makoto gripped tightly and buried his face in her kosode as Kagome took off running to the hut. "It's alright sweety," Kagome said to him. The pup did not know what to do, he smelled fear from his mother, he was concerned for his father and worst of all he could sense that the demon was really strong. Stronger than his father.

"Kagome-sama!" she noticed Miroku running to her, accompanied by a few men that knew how to fight. "Miroku-sama," Kagome said, going to halt when she nearly knocked into them, "Where is Sango-chan? Is she okay? The children, Kaede-ba-chan, Rin-chan. Are they-"

"They are fine, but you must hurry, this is a poison demon and if it unleashes a mist of its poison it will be enough to kill a fully grown human," Miroku told her.

Kagome gaped then she looked down at her son who was whimpering with fear. "I'll put up a barrier so it won't get up to this point. Go to the others, they are waiting for you," Miroku said, he took off running where she left.

Kagome nodded and took off into a run again to the elder priestess's home.

"Kagome," Kaede said, when she noticed her run through the door panting. "Kagome-chan," Sango said, she was settled down holding Keiji in her arms. Sakura and Haruka were hiding behind their mother. Tadashi was settled down with Shippo.

"Are you alright?" Kagome found her voice after she drank a cup of water, given by Kaede when she sat down and moved Makoto into a comfortable position so he could calm down.

"We are all fine. How is Makoto doing?" Sango asked, she wanted to check the boy herself, if she wasn't surrounded by her children. Kagome ran a hand through her son's hair,"He's fine. Right sweety?"

Makoto nodded slowly and let out a sigh. "Papa? Where's papa?" Makoto sniffed the air to look for his father, finding out that he wasn't in the hut.

Kagome held him close,"Your father will be here soon, like he always is."

She couldn't help to feel that heart wrenching feeling inside her. Something was wrong and she needed to make sure Inuyasha was okay. "Kaede can you hold Makoto please," Kagome said, getting up so that she can make her way to the elder priestess.

Kaede paused from grinding herbs incase any villagers were poisoned, she knew that youki from many many years ago when it had attacked last, so must have been the same demon.

"Child, where are ye going?" Kaede asked when she held the young inu hanyou in her arms.

"To make sure my husband is okay," Kagome said, gathering the bow and arrows from the door and left.

She heard Sango telling her to come back, but she ignored them. Inuyasha, please be okay. She thought, running before she could contemplate whether to go back to the hut or go. With every pang of her heart beat and every breath, she ran faster, hoping that nothing happened.

"Half breed get out of my way," the demon said as it dodged another attack thrown by Inuyasha.

"What business do you have here?" Inuyasha questioned the poison demon.

"None that involves you. It's been fifty years since I've been here before. Where is that damn priestess that dared to kill me," the demon had said.

Inuyasha's eyes widened only a fraction, he let out a growl and threw the demon a few feet away before it repositioned itself to land on its feet.

"I knew some half demon was involved with some priestess. How pathetic," it said.

"Shut up, that's all in the past. What matters now is my present," Inuyasha told him, he lifted tetsusaiga into the air and stroke it down towards the demon.

"Inuyasha!" his ears flicked over to hear Miroku coming his way.

There were a few villagers passed out on the floor and he didn't need the monk's help to fight this demon off. "Miroku, I don't need anymore humans passing out because of this damn demon so get the hell away or take those people away from here," he motioned his head to the villagers on the floor struggling to get up because they inhaled a little of the poison.

"Right, I'm on it. Men, help me with carrying them to seek Kaede-sama's help," Miroku instructed. Little by little while Inuyasha continued to lure the poison demon away, the poisionous mist it had created was starting to disappear.

"Inuyasha!" he heard for the second time, but it wasn't Miroku. "No...Get the hell out of here Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted. Distracted for that moment, he was knocked off his feet and landed a yard from where the youkai stood.

"It is her," the youkai seethed. It's scaly body turned toward the woman in the white and red outfit of a priestess just a mile away. Its ogre like feet treaded to Kagome when she looked at the demon, into it's fiery red eyes that held hate and anger.

The demon lunged at her, unfortunately pinning Kagome back into a tree. "I'll kill you," it snarled in her face. She didn't have time to justify the situation. "No! Get away from her! I will kill you if you so as much touch her!" Inuyasha shouted in rage of losing her.

"Then I will have to kill you first," the youkai said, a black mist spiraled out of its mouth to Inuyasha. Kagome screamed and noticed that her husband was coughing wildly, trying to cover his face with the sleeve of his robe of the fire rat.

"Don't hurt him. You want to k-kill me don't you!" Kagome screamed. She saw Inuyasha look at her. Kagome, what the hell are you thinking! Inuyasha shouted mentally, he coughed twice, three times before he was brought to the ground.

The scent of Kagome's tears made him look in her direction.

"Sacrifice yourself for a demon...a half demon, no less," the youkai turned its attention towards her. She gripped her fist to finally reach something she dropped moments ago.

Her eyes narrowed, determination and love sparked in them,"Yes, I would do it for him in a heartbeat," she brought her hand up and brought the arrow down onto the youkai's chest. It screamed in agonizing pain.

Soon after the demon disintegrated, Kagome formed a barrier around her self to block out the poison filled air that still lingered in the area. "Inuyasha," she whispered when she noticed a red clad figure on the ground in a sitting up position.

"Kagome," he said.

"You're alright, thank goodness," she whispered when she dropped to the ground and cupped his face. "This mist is made to kill humans, keh it can't kill me," Inuyasha told her.

He frowned at her,"What were you thinking of letting that damn youkai killing you!"

She buried her face in his haori,"I thought you were going to die! What do you expect me to do when you looked like you were going to pass out and die!"

"K-Kagome," he brought up a clawed hand and placed it on her head,"I won't be dying any time soon. I was worried you would, why would you sacrifice yourself for me. Didn't you think about our son?"

"Of course I did, but I didn't want our son to not have a father!" she shouted furious with him and herself.

"I don't want him to lose his mother either. Stop crying it's okay," he told her.

Kagome let out a heavy sigh.

"Promise me that you won't get yourself almost killed recklessly," Inuyasha said.

"I promise, as long as you don't," Kagome told him with a smile.

"Let's go, I think our son must be giving Kaede-baba a fit," he told her as he got up with her help.

"He was worried for his father," Kagome said with a smile.

"Yeah and his father was worried for his crazy mother," Inuyasha said, picking her up bridal style before taking off to their son.

Author's Note

I think I did good on this one. It took me so long to finally type this up. I was in my writer's zone when my sister interrupted me while I was finishing this up. Thank you for reading, this goes with the next chapter for Baby's First that will be posted later today. It's so good to write again, but remember, I'm taking baby steps so I'll be taking my time to write. Thanks again!

Yours Truly,

Fallen :)

P.S: It's so good to say that again xD
