"Alright, class, please have a great weekend and remember to be careful." The teacher said and the students all left the classroom. Most of the students left with smiles and happiness in their eyes, but one student left with a look of nothingness in her eyes.

"Anya!" Koji hurried over to her, "...Anya? Are you alright?" "No." "Anya...you've been like this ever since Haku disappeared, you have to snap out of it." "I know, but I just can't seem to do that...Koji, Haku...Haku is everything to me..." She said and started to cry. "Oh, shit! Anya, come on please don't cry..." "I miss him, Koji, I miss him so badly." She said and burried her face in his uniform. "Anya..." Koji held his friend tightly. He knew she was in pain and truthfully knew of only one way to end that pain.

It had already been a year since Haku left Anya's family's shrine without a word of goodbye, except for the note he'd left for Anya. Ever since that day, Anya had refused to speak to her father again, and she was still holding the grudge against him. Koji knew what Anya's silent treatments were like and knew that they could last for as long as Anya wanted to make them last, and he'd gone 400 years, before she spoketo him again, and that had been over him telling her mother about her and Haku being friends. This grudge she held for her father was due to the fact that Haku, the man she loved so much, had been driven out of her life by her father. Koji had no clue as to how long the silence between them would last this time, but he knew that it could go on forever.

"Hey, how about we stop and get some ice cream?" "...Sure, thanks Koji." "Hey, no problem. So you still giving your dad the silent treatment?" "I will give him that treatment, until I am ready to stop, and that may not be until I die." "What if Haku was to come back?" "If dad has anything to do with it, maybe I'll talk to him again, but if it has nothing to do with dad, then no." "Ouch, man, that's harsh, I know what your silent treatments are like, not fun." "Hmph, well its his fault." "I guess...how's your mom doing?" "Good, she's prego again." "Ah...whose do you think it is this time?" "I think it's my Uncle's, but I coul be wrong." "Well, that'd be my guess, considering that she went on that buisness trip alone with him, for a week last month...how far along is she?" "About two months." "Wow, could be either of theirs then." "Yeah...ha, I really wish my mom would stop fooling around, I mean my dad is going to catch on sooner or later." "Yeah, I know, but hey, don't worry, I think they'll work things out." "I hope so." "How's Ian?" "Cute as ever." "Ah ha," "He called me sis yesterday." "Cool, for a 1 year old, he's pretty smart." "Yeah, I know."

"Hello, there, what'll it be?" "Order whatever one you want Anya," "Really?" "Mhm, my treat and your cheer me up treat." "Ah...Cherry Chocolate Peanut butter Crunch." "Huh...wow, that is some funky looking ice cream, are you sure?" "Mhm." "Okay, what she said and I'll take fudge triple." "Alright, here you go," "Thanks and heres the money." "Thank you and have a nice day." Koji and Anya went to sit down and eat their ice cream. "So why'd you choose the gross looking one?" "Cause its a new flavor." "Ah," "Also, its actually not that bad, here try it." Koji hesitated then took a tast. "Wow, that is good." "See, I have good taste." "Yeah, you do, bet you have a good taste too...ow!" "Pervert." "Course. Want to take some home for your parents?" "Sure..." "You can be silent, but be nice too." "Yeah, I guess." "It's also show him that you don't hate him, you're just really ticked at him." "K." They finished their ice cream then bought some for the others and headed home.

"Koji..." "Yeah...mm!" "Thanks for cheering me up a bit, and for being a very good best friend." Koji was unable to talk at that moment, but nodded, Anya giggled at his red cheeks. "I'm glad you're able to laugh." "Yeah, me too." "See you later." "Later." Anya hurried up the steps to her home, and walked through the front door.

"Mom?" "In here dear, oh, whats all this?" "Ice cream, Koji took me for some to cheer me up a bit." "Did it work?" "A bit." "Wonderful we'll have this with dinner tonight." "...is dad home?" "Not yet dear, he should be soon, why? Are you finally going to talk to him?" "Not yet, but let him know he has one there too, and that...I don't hate him, I'm just very mad." "I know dear, and yes I'll tell him. I do hope though that you will start talking to him again." "Don't know when, but one day I will. Call me when dinner is ready." "I will, oh, can you change Ian and give him hi bottle for me?" "Sure." "Thanks dear." "No problem." Anya hurried upstairs, where she lifted her baby brother out of his crib and cuddled him, "Hello, my sweet little brother, time for a change." She said and got him ready to be changed.

"There, all..." She heard the front door shut and knew that it was her father coming home. "There, all clean, and, here you go a fresh bottle." Anya sat with her brother in the chair that was in his room and rocked him back and forth, while he drank from the bottle. He gazed up at her with golden eyes and she smiled. He looked alot like their dad. Silver hair, and golden eyes, and he actually had doggy ears. Anya loved tickling them and making him laugh, and in short she just really loved her little brother.

It wasn't long before both Anya and Ian fell asleep in the chair and remained there until their came and lifted Ian up and laid him back in his crib, then carried Anya into her room and covered her up. She snuggled under the blankets and smiled. All Inuyasha could do was smile lightly at his daughter. She was very angry at him, he knew that all too well, but he hated not hearing her voice talk to him. He loved her so much, but he had hurt her, by driving Haku away, he knew this and could do nothing about it.

As he stood to leave he heard her mumble in her sleep "I love you, Daddy." "I love you too Anya." He said with a bigger smile and shutting the door, left the room.
