Inuyasha and Souta hadn't been walking through the forest long before, Inuyasha came to an abrupt stop, causing Soutas small form to bump into him with enough force to bounce off and land on his butt.

Unfortunately the landing wasn't as smooth as it should had been seeing as they were in a grassy area. No, he had to land on the only rock in the whole open space. Not only was it the only rock, it had an edgy spike pointing up.

Inuyasha turned around with tessaiga in hand ready to blow what ever offender caused his son to scream like a little girl. He looked around for a minute to find the only person around was his son jumping up and down grabbing his ass.

"Uh.. What the hell are ya doing Sota?" Inuyasha quirked his head to the side trying to understand why his son was groping his butt.

Sota finally turned around with little tears welling up in his eyes, "That rock punctured my ass!"

He pointed to the offending object, "You see what it did to me?!?"

Turning around so his father could see what he was talking about, Sota moved his hand from his butt revealing a whole in his kimono going through his hakamas and illuminating a red gouge in his rear. Around the edge of the small gouge you could see it starting to bruise, a little purple was forming around the outer layer of the wound.

Inuyasha slapped his hand over his mouth and turned back around before his son could see the tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't want to embarrass his son even more by laughing uncontrollably at his injured ass. But it was just to damn funny!

Once he thought he could control his laughter he turned around to ask if he was alright, however the pissed off look his son was giving him broke his mask.

"Quit laughing at me this fucking hurts! What kind of dad are you," Sota stomped his foot agrily.

He tried to control his laughter, he really did. But the squirt looked to much like his mother when she through her fits. It was almost like having two Kagome's in one house.

Inuyasha wiped the tears from his eyes snickering hear and there, until it hit him. The little shit was cussing. If Kagome heard her 'special little boy' talking like this she'd kill him!

"Hey, short shit. Watch your mouth, your mother will kick your ass if she hears you talking like that." Inuyasha yelled over his shoulder while walking over to his destination.

Sota lifter his eyebrow at his fathers comment. "Where do you think I learned it from?"

He watched his father walk only a little father before he sat down in beside an old well. Thankful that they had finally reached a place where he could get something to drink he ignored his pain and ran towards the well. He finally reached only to find that it was filled with demon bones. It was kind of eerie, it was dark and had vines running down it.

Turning towards Inuyasha, Sota looked at him questionably. Why were they here? Did the run down well have something to do with it?

Before he could voice his question Inuyasha spoke. "We don't talk about the past often do we?"

Sota looked at him a little confused about his comment but merely shook his head to answer the question.

Inuyasha looked at the sky and continued "You don't know of how your mother and I met, or of the reasons why I hold her so close to my heart. I didn't always like your mother Sota." Inuyasha tilted his head to look at his confused son.

"I loved another at a different time, her name was Kikyo. However it didn't last. She was the shikon miko, in charge of protecting the shikon jewel. She injured a badly hurt bandit, and he ended up falling in love with her. He couldn't move so he offered his body to demons, in hopes that one day he would have her. Unfortunately for him he couldn't control himself any more and the demon became in control. His name was Naraku." Inuyasha looked off in a daze like he wasn't in his time, but in the past.

Sota listened intent on hearing everything that his father spoke. He had asked before about his parents past except they would shake their heads and say something along the lines of 'the past is better off in the past' or 'we'll tell you when you're older. There was no way in hell he was going to pass up this story.

"He pinned Kikyo and I against each other. He made it seem like I only wanted the jewel to become a full demon, and made me believe that she had betrayed me. So in spite I took the jewel, she ended pinning me to a tree for 50 years. That is until your mother set me free. She looked so much like Kikyo, because she was her reincarnation. Because she looked like her I despised her at first. The Shikon jewel was embedded in her body and ripped out by a demon. I tried to kill her for it."

"You tried to kill mom? What is wrong with you?! She is my mother!" Sota shouted outraged at the fact that his own father tried to kill his mother.

Inuyasha looked at his pissed off son and only patted the ground next to him hinting for him to sit back down and let him finish the story. Grudgingly Sota obliged.

"I couldn't kill her because the older miko put a subjugation beads on me, and when Kagome said the blasted word I would slam into the ground, leaving outlined craters of me everywhere." Inuyasha grumbled.

Sota laughed at his fathers tone, "What was the word?"

Inuyasha growled and spat out the word "Sit."

Unable to contain the laughter building up in him Sota burst into a laughing fit. Oh the irony! His father being an heir from the dog demon clan, it so fit his religion.

Inuyasha sent spiteful eyes at his only heir trying to talk himself out of ringing his little neck for laughing at him. "Shut the hell up!" he bellowed.
