Adventure of Little Raven by Sy Sheer

Shadows

Raven was quiet as her eyes studied his face despite the tears streaming down her cheeks. "First Shippo forgets me, then you Daddy?" Raven wept as the shadows of the setting sun washed the woods in twilight. Kagome gently pulled the little pup to her, relieved when little arms wrapped around her. 

Kagome could understand how Raven might have been confused. Since she was Heiress to the West, Sesshomaru and her Dad might smell alike. They were related, she thought, because that's how lands were passed in this era. 

"Raven, do you know Lord Sesshomaru? Is he maybe your Dad's cousin?" Kagome asked as she shushed the crying girl, not surprised when Raven shook her head violently. 

"He is my Daddy, even if he's forgotten me." Raven whispered, but it wasn't missed by anyone there. Shippo watched silently as his hand grabbed Raven's skirt edge, just to let her know he was there. Inuyasha scoffed, standing there with his sword on his shoulder. Kagome as unsure what to do to help the pup, but knew she had to do something. Sesshomaru was about ready to leave altogether, but the fact that she bore the Western Moon, meant she was pack. 

"Whatever, I thought you said the brat was an orphan." Inuyasha spat, just wanting to get Kagome away from the monster that was his older half-brother. "And we all know that Sesshomaru has nothing to do with orphans, ever." 

"What does that make Rin?" Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "Chopped liver?"
