Dada!

Summary: Times of Change One Shot. Izayoi's first words

InuYasha was ready to pull his hair out. Why did he agree to this? He knew he wasn't a politically minded guy directness was his strong suite not politics. But he was also a man of his word and he had promised Sesshomaru that he would take Izayoi's place until she was old enough to take her rightful place. This way he would also have the experience needed to help train Izayoi in the ways of the Inu no Taisho… doesn't mean he liked it!

I feel so sorry for you Izayoi. You're going to die of boredom before anyone else even gets close to you.

"Lord InuYasha?" the hanyo opened his eyes and glance to his left to see old man Yoshito the Lord of the monkey tribe. He was a kind old monkey demon that had remained loyal to the West for centuries. He was also quit the drinker and both dog brothers tended to join him for sake in Sesshomaru's office every now and then.

"Do you have anything you wish to add my boy?"

the temporary prince sat up straighter and was about to say that he was ready to get the hell out of their and back to his family when the door opened slightly.

Sesshomaru glanced to the door and when no one appeared the rest of the council looked to the lords for an explanation. Then the door opened a little more. Sesshomaru growled in annoyance and stood.

"Show yourself." He ordered calmly. No one answered.

Sesshomaru was becoming very, very angry but before he could loose his cool InuYasha felt something pulling on his pant's leg. He looked down under the table and smiled.

"Oi Sesshomaru I think I found our little spy." The Inu no Taisho looked to his brother for answers when the hanyo bent under the table and came up with a tiny silver headed Inu pup girl who was putting about being taken away from her new toy, her father's foot.

Sesshomaru calmed as he sat back down. There wasn't much he could do about the baby wandering in to the meeting. Izayoi was remarkably well behaved and sometimes tended to be drawn to her father's scent so it made sense the child would follow the scent of her sire into the room.

"Izayoi," InuYasha smiled as the little girl looked up at her father. "Did you wander away from Emi-chan again?"

Izayoi giggled as she reached out toward her father's face happily. For a minute InuYasha was oblivious to the stares of the council, both friend and allies as he brought the girl's face close to his own and nuzzled his nose with her's.

When he pulled away she laughed and then made her father's day.

"Dada!"

InuYasha was slack jawed and then a smug smile spread on his face.

"That's right pup." He said as he gently tossed the child into the air and caught her.

"InuYasha, you know what this means?" Uncle Raiden asked as she leaned back in his chair with his arms behind his head. InuYasha looked away from his daughter to look questioningly at his Uncle "No more cursing."

InuYasha furrowed his brow in confusion and then Izayoi signed her father's death certificate. A death that would be carried out by the child's mother when she found out what happened.

"Dada! Damn!"

InuYasha's mouth fell to the floor and then he shook his head.

"No! No Izayoi we don't say that word."

If Kagome heard their daughter curse then he was going to die. No matter how many times Kagome had asked him to watch his language after Izayoi was born he never listened to her believing that the pup would never repeat the words because, well, his little Izayoi was perfect and now karma was biting him in the ass.

"Fuck." Izayoi squeaked as she clapped her tiny hands.

By now most of the council members were laughing hysterically as the girl repeated yet another curse word that she had learned from her father.

Dressed in the armor with his father's old momoko-sama that Sesshomaru had given him draped over his shoulders and his hair tied back, the hanyo looked very fierce and very much like his own father once would never have thought that he could be felled by anything an yet his little daughter had him practically shaking in fear.

"Congratulations little brother you've already begun to corrupt your offspring."

InuYasha glared at his brother as the council's laughs died down.

"Shut up ya ass!" he snapped and then like a little parrot Izayoi repeated the word.

"Ass!"

Just as their daughter repeated her father's favorite nickname for his brother Kagome walked in and froze as the word sprang from her baby's mouth. All of the demons in the room could feel the deadly spiritual aura as Kagome glared angrily at her mate.

Sesshomaru reached over and took his niece from his younger brother's petrified grip and then his dear sister-in-law snapped.

"InuYasha! SIT BOY!"

And with that the magic rosary pulled InuYasha to crash into the wooden floor of the meeting room causing all of the lords and ladies to burst into another round of laughing,

Kagome walked over and gently took her child from her brother-in-law and then turned to bow before the room full of demons.

"I apologize for the interruption my Lords and ladies." She then turned to bow to Sesshomaru. "Brother." Then she glared at InuYasha.

"And you my dear mate can sleep on the veranda tonight."

Kagome then turned and left the room with Izayoi looking over her shoulder. The baby giggled at her father looking up at her from where his body was smashed into the ground.

"Dada, Bye-bye!"


A/N: So here is the second one shot for the Times of Change Series. Izayoi's first word was dada and then every curse word that she ever heard InuYasha ever say… good job inu, good job.

Please review and let me know what you all think.
