I miss you father!
Kagome and Inuyasha was walking to the well with no surprise Kagome said she needed to go back. Inuyasha on the other end had said it was once again waste of time to go back. She was walking and picking flowers till she notice what was in two days, "Fathers Day" Despise her father being dead to an unknown reason given to her, she still celebrate it by bringing flowers to his grave and to bring pictures. She had done this starting with such a younge age. She took her father absence harsh, but never let it slip up. She remembers her father little by little, but the idea what he look like remain a mystery to her, and of course her brother Sota would not known what he look like for he was in her moms belly at the time he was killed.
Inuyasha, being the hanyou we all know and love was being harsh till he sat and watch very slowly she had pick up a flower. She had mention a holiday she must go back and attend to, just like "Mothers Day" when he learn it was ok to except his new founded family. He didn't understand why she must go back and celebrate fathers day when she did not have a father of her own, as he did. It was harsh and confusing all at once to know what and why Kagome had done these little things, but whatever it was he was to be known she could never forget someone, when either they are dead, or someone from the deep past. He wanted to be kind to her on this round cause of last holiday that had happen in May.
"I will let you go back Kagome" he said in his voice, he turn his face only say once more." This is the last time though" Even though he knows he going to let her off again in the future, but he was wanting to put up his act as if not careing once more. He turn to see her smiling and nobbing in approvel this will be the last time I will ask of something from you, but to know this will not. She then pick a flower and started walking. "So what is fathers day?" Inuyasha ask
"Almost like Mothers Day, only you show more to your dad how special he is" she said to him, with a little smile, he only said "oh" She walk to see her friends waiting for her to get there so they could say their goodbyes to her. "Come back soon ok Kagome" Said Shippou giving her a hug, she walk to Sango who also give a hug "We will see you soon." and Miroku gave a smal bow "We will see you in a few day Lady Kagome-sama." She turn to them and wave and jump into the light, leaving everyone to there own thoughts now.
She had explain "Fathers Day" as she explain "Mothers Day". They all share the same thing though, all their fathers had died in battle. Each had lost there own lives, but their father's was showing them courage and showing its ok to fight for what you want. One had died by Naraku, One died of the void put in his hand, another died cause of the Thunder brothers, and one died was a mystery. They all sat at a tree letting the wind toss and turn their hairs, it was all sad for them, yet being told by Inuyasha her father had died when she was so younge, so why did she have to celebrate such a person.
On the other side Kagome sat at her father grave, telling the stories of what had been happening between her and Inuyasha, how her mother and grandfather and of course Sota was doing. She brought out pictures and show of what each one look like. She even brought out pictures of Miroku, Sango, Shippou, Kirara and of course Inuyasha. She stare and look at his grave, and read what was wrote : Toshio Higurashi Husband and Father of two She ran her fingers around it. The wind blew so softly, she close her eyes, trying to remember his voice, but the remembering it was so hard, too hard, he died when she was at such a younge age.
She brought out sencted Stick and put the on the ground around his grave and lit them all. She bend her head down to say a little prayer: Dear Kami, I thank you for taking my father in your arms. I thank you for the protection you try to put around him. I do wish you protect him in all cost up there in heaven. I thank you, Amen; She Sat down looking once more at it, then she look up at the sky, how it was getting dark now, she look at the watch and notice it was almost 7:00PM surly her mother would throw fit. She was ready to stand up till she heard a male voice call her name. She stood frozen, the voice was familier, but it can't be. She turn to see her own father glowing.
"Father?" She took a few steps back and look at him. It was harsh to look at him. "Is this a trick?" She watch as the figure that was glowing only smile then laugh.
"Kagome, after what you said you been through, you can not even beleive in ghostes? You remind me of you mother." Thats when the unexplain happen, a tail appeared and was wagging back and forth, she look and not only looking but stareing. Her father Toshio grin and laugh. "Oh yes the tail, you seem quiet fawn over it." He look at her and grin, "You have not have yours yet? " She look at him in disbeilf, he then started to count on his fingers," Oh yes today should be the day, let see 5. . . 4. . .3. . . 2. . .1 now"
Before she knew it a tail appeared, on her rear in, she look and squeal. "Father how can this be, your dead." She back away, just alittle sad, the thought of someone to tricking her.
"Well dear daughter" he only chuckle "I got a freebe to see you, but only you at this point." He sat down and Kagome walk to him and sat infront.
"I don't understand, how did you die?"
"Oh yea, every fathers day, anytime you saw the grave that one question, well Me and Inuyasha father went to war, and I was badly hurt and Inuyasha father ran with my body telling me to hold on. When we got back to my home he said that I was badly wounded and I was going to die very soon. He put me on the bed and I remember your face. So inoccent, not knowing what was going on. Your mother was worried." He stop and smile at Kagome.
"War, what war was you and Inuyasha father was fighting?"
"The war was for demons and humans to be reunited, to be together. Inuyasha father Inusenshi has you know tookin a human for a wife, as I did with your mother. It was forbiddin, and we went against the law, we was hated to no point."
Kagome let a tear go, to learn her father had been to war to show it was alright to be with her mother, cause of love, he wanted to be with her. Learn the Inusenshi was at war with her father gave her great strength, that her father and Inuyasha father had share the same passion, to be with a human wife, or mate. She was getting what she wanted as far as she could remember, she wanted to sit and talk to her father. She was getting the chance to learn her other half.
Kagome felt her tail wag, and look at the thing, she moved it to her front and look at it, she felt the fur, it was so soft and fluff, it was black with purple lighting streaks, unlike her father which was brown with red lighting streaks. She finally look down, her nails had grown lil more then the shortness she was use too. She look at her father and smile. "Now i look like you father." She got up, and through her arms around his neck. "Happy Father Day daddy."
Toshio wrap his arms around his daughter and gave her a tight squeeze. "I love you my dear Daughter Kagome. I am so sorry I left you when you was so small."
"Its ok daddy, you had to show everyone it was ok to love other species." She sat up and look at him.
He look at her. "You have grown so well my daughter," he then open is Kimono and brought something out. "This is yours daughter, our crest is on it. "He handed it to her. She look at it and ran her fingers over it, it show a tiger over a tree, and a dog on the bottom. She then look at her father in confuse of this. Her father ,Toshio, only laugh, "Daughter, the tiger says we are loyal and strong, tree, shows we are as one, and the dog is for that we are always allied to the Inu Clan."
"The Inu Clan, then what does the Inu clan crest show" She look at the kimono, it was purple, but the tiger was made of gold, tree was made of jade, and the dog was silver.
"The Inu Clan, boy, Inusenshi came with diff ideas, but kept only one crest, the purple moon, the tiger, and the dog." He look up at the moon, "What you know its time for me to go." He got up and gave her a hug, and step back and glowed then disappear." Kagome wave and took the kimono and put it on. She walk home which only took five mins, when you ran which she did.
She got home and show her mom, and her tail moved back and forth, she explain everything to her mom on what happen. She look please to learn that her father had came and see you transform. She look at the time and started to rush to get things to go back that night.
Without thinking she jump into the well with her kimono and finally hit the other end, she climb up and went over and started running to the villiage, she ran really fast and got there and then she started to walk. She saw Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Inuyasha sitting around the fire, sipping on tea. She walk in and smile.
"Kagome, you have whiskers, and a tail?" Shippou blurred out.
"What happen?" ask Miroku.
Sango got up and walk to see her kimono she saw the crest. "Where you get this?"
"My father, he game from the heaven and he gave this to me, this is our crest."
"But the dog is part of Inuyasha crest, why is it on there?"
Inuyasha then got up and ran to only lightly shove Sango out of the way. He look at it and his mouth drop, "I have not seen the tiger crest since my dad got back from the war."
"You mean the war of Species?" ask kagome
Everyone then mouth then drop. "How you know of it?" ask Inuyasha
"My father was at the war with your father. My father is Toshio, the tiger demon." Her tail then fell to the floor, and look at them all, she grab Inuyasha hand and look at him, and smile "Come on lets drink tea to all our fathers." She sat down and poor tea in everyone glass. She brought her up,"to my father"
"To my father " said Inuyasha
" To my father" Miroku
"To my father" said Shippou
"To my father" said Sango
"To our fathers!" they all then annouced and drank tea.
While they drank tea in the after life sat five fathers, Toshio, Inusenshi, Oniou, Kitsui, and Sanusa. All look down at their children
Boy my daughter something else." Said Toshio, "Funny how my daughter met ya son Inusenshi."
"Yea, keeps bonking my son upside the head, poor Shippou." said Kitsui
Keh" all Inusenshi would say to the words.
"How about my son Miroku!" Oniou said
"He a pervert like you was!" Said Sansusa
Thats when they all laugh and look down to watch their children laugh and talk to things to come. Toshio and Inusenshi look at one another and smile a bit, they look down at the daughter and the son.
The end
