Prologue: Mariposa Engaña

A small figure chased after a lovely golden butterfly. The butterfly's wings were a soft gold, but it's lining seemed to be a rich amber, it's looks were alluring but the beautiful little thing was deceiving, pure evil. Small tiny clawed hands waved around trying to reach for it. The silver haired boy -who seemed about age five- laughed and giggled, glee filling his golden orb & his icy blue one as well.

The butterfly continued it's flight towards a worn down well. "Come. Come." the butterfly whispered in an alluring tone, conniving the poor boy into following it. The boy giggled. "'Kay." He ran through the long over grown grass, only to find the golden butterfly had disappeared, and that he now stood in front of a century aged well. His mother told him stories of how she would go through this well to their time and that that's how she eventually met his father.

But why had the butterfly led him here?

"Where are you?" the golden & blue eyed boy called out as he turned his head from side to side.

"I'm in here~" came the voice from inside the well. The silver haired boy gasped & then smiled. "Hold on, I'm going inside." he said in his childish voice.

"Hurry."

As soon as the boy landed- unharmed- inside the well on his two feet, a crimson red light engulfed him. And he was gone.

What a deceiving butterfly.

...

"Where is he?!" a midnight haired woman panicked. "And why can't we pick up his scent anywhere?!"

"Calm down Kagome, he'll be alright, he's our son after all." Her husband grinned, trying to appease his mate, but the worry in his golden pools did not escape.

Both of them snapped their heads in the direction of the Bone Eater's well. "This..This energy." Kagome whispered.

"Naraku." her husband growled, eyes flashing red.

...

A teenage girl sat with her back against the bark of the sacred tree's tree trunk. The midnight haired beauty had come there for a moment of relaxation. She had her icy blue hues cast up at the sky, big fluffy clouds were reflected in her ocean deep orbs. She let a blissful sigh escape her soft pink lips.

"Kagome!" called a squeaky voice that could only belong to the fox kit running towards her. "Shippo," Kagome smiled, "Did you get to buy more candy at the village?" once the fox kit finally reached her, he jumped into her lap, holding up three pieces of a child's delight. "Yup! They even had dango!" the fox kit exclaimed excitedly. Kagome loved when Shippo was elated, the same went for her other friends. It made her happy just to see others happy.

"Do you want some?" Shippo smiled a toothy grin as he lifted up a wooden stick with three balls of dango sweets. Kagome hummed, "Mm m, you can have it all Shippo. Enjoy it."

Shippo sat down on the comfy spot in her lap, "You're so unlike that idiot Inuyasha-" a small blow came to his head at the comment. Kagome looked up to meet eye-to-eye with a pair of golden orbs. She sighed, "Inuyasha, you have to stop hitting Shippo like that."

Inuyasha let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, he thought the priestess would make him 'sit'. He let out a simple 'keh'. "As they say, think before you act." Kagome continued, "Or else there's going to be consequences."

"Heh! Like what?" Inuyasha regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. "I can make you 'sit'-"

And down the doggy went. "Oops?" "Hahahaha Baka! That's what you get!" Kagome & Shippo said as they stood up. Kagome brushed the fallen leafs of her green skirt whilst Inuyasha got out of the indent his body made on the hard earth. "You gotta stop doing that." he grunted.

"Oh hi Miroku, Sango, Kirara. Did you guys get everything you need?" Kagome called out to the approaching figures of her friends. Sango nodded with a smile, as did Miroku. "I was able to get us quite a pack of traveling supplies from the villagers." Miroku patted the huge sack he had on his back, which he was holding on to by two brown straps.

Kagome sweat dropped, "Those supplies aren't stolen, right?" Miroku laughed lightly, "Who do you take me for Kagome, a mugger?"

"And a liar."

"And a lecher." Shippo & Sango answered, Miroku gave them a feigned hurt stare.

"Let's get a move on. Naraku isn't going to catch himself ya know?" Inuyasha said, and the group began to walk, resuming their usual travel in search of Naraku.

The group halted abruptly, a dark evil aura filled the air, the sky became a blood red, and the clouds became a smoky grey. This very familiar evil aura sending waves of immense power could only belong to one person. "Naraku." Inuyasha spat, his hand reaching for his sword at instinct.

A bright red beam of light coming from the area of the Bone Eater's well, sky rocketed from the well, to the high heavens.

...

By the time the group reached the old well, the sky had returned to blue, the clouds were white once more, and Naraku's evil aura was gone. All that remained was the mystery of what was going to come out of the well.

Everyone got prepared, Inuyasha took out his over sized sword and stretched it out in front of him. Miroku held out his hand, prepared to release the beads holding back his wind tunnel. Sango stood in a stance, her elbow bent as her hand reached for her boomerang. Kagome had her bow out, her hand reaching for a quilt. Kirara had transformed, and Shippo now sat on her.

"H-hello?" a child's voice called out from the pit of the well. Kagome immediately retracted her bow, she ran past Inuyasha, to take a look at what was inside the well. Her icy blue hues widened at the silver haired boy standing there at the bottom of the well's pit.

"Kagome step away from there!" Inuyasha said. "He's right, it could be one of Naraku's traps." Sango called out worriedly. Miroku put his hand down, "I don't sense any evil aura coming from the well. Naraku is gone."

Kagome smiled & nodded, she turned and looked at her friends, "He's right. There's only a child down there." The rest of the group retracted their weapons, or fangs, and took hesitant steps towards the well.

Inuyasha hopped on the ledge to look down at the child. "I'll go get 'im." he jumped inside, picked up the boy effortlessly, and jumped out of the well, placing the silver haired boy on the ground. "Oi, he's a dog demon. Though he's just a pup." Inuyasha said with narrowed eyes.

The group quickly surrounded the boy. The boy smiled at them, he didn't seem to be afraid of any of the 'strangers', in fact, he seemed to know them. "Hello aunty Sango, uncle Miroku, huh? You guys look younger than before. You too Shippo, you're much shorter now." he turned his body and faced Kagome. His smile became wider. "Mama!" he cried and hopped on her, wrapping his small arms around her. The force of his jump caused Kagome to stumble backwards.

The rest of the group's face expressions were flabbergasted. They looked from the boy's silver hair, to his golden right eye, then his left icy blue one, up to Kagome, then to Inuyasha.

"What!?" was everyone else's question.

"When did you get Kagome pregnant?" Sango's eyes were wide. "You disgust me." Shippo said shaking his head and staring at Inuyasha accusingly. Miroku casually walked over to the shocked half demon, placed a hand on his shoulder, and said, "So you finally leveled up my friend. About time- Ow ow ow." the monk was dragged away by his ear by a certain demon slayer, towards where Kagome stood in shock with the boy in her arms.

"Hold on a minute," Inuyasha walked over and picked the silver haired boy off of Kagome by his collar. "The kid ain't mine! Kagome and I never-! Kagome, tell 'em, this isn't our child." Kagome didn't say anything, she was blushing and was in shock.

"Uh huh, then explain his golden eye, his blue eye, and the silver hair." Shippo said pointing at each feature belonging to the little boy. "Since the time, and his age don't match, I bet he came from the future or somethin', he's yours and Kagome's son."

"His face features also look extremely similar to Kagome's." Sango added. "Mew." Kirara mewed in agreement from where she stood next to her master. "Not to mention he's also a dog demon." Miroku smiled.

Inuyasha let the child drop to his small feet. The child looked from Inuyasha to Kagome. He then looked at the rest of the group with confusion written across his face. "What are you guys talking about? My papa isn't uncle Inuyasha, but Kagome is my mama." he giggled, "What's up with all of your funny face expressions?"

The air just became extremely tense.

Well, that's it for now. I'll update the next chapter, 'In Search for his Father' soon. Please leave a review, tell me what you think or tell me your ideas :).
