Ah shucks guys! Your all so nice! I thought that no one would like it and so when I say your reviews… let's just say my friends where just a little afraid I had finally lost it when I jumped up screaming and doing a happy dance! Sorry it wasn't up sooner but my sister hogged the computer! Well here you have chapter 3!
Kagome was a little worried, her son was late. The sun was setting and he was still not home. She bit her lip as she treaded on the wooden floor of her home. Her mind flashed vivid mental images of worst possible situations.
' Fell out of a tree, fell asleep, bear attack, fell down a cliff…' the list just got longer and longer.
Before she started hyperventilating, she picked up her bow and arrows and calmly walked to where she had last saw her son. 'Oh god if I don't find him!' She started panicking again before she stopped herself.
Then she put one foot in front of the other and like a ninja, walked silently after her missing pup.
InuYasha looked at the pup with wide eyes. His father?
"Sorry kid… I don't think I'm dad." He was about to turn around before he spun around and questioned the boy. "You know Kagome?"
"Well duh! She's my mom!" He gave him a look that said well-aren't-you-a-stupid-one. InuYasha then almost yelled out because he saw that face every time he thought about when he and Kagome fought. So he was Kagome's son, but how on earth was he suppose to be related to InuYasha?
"And how am I your dad exactly?" InuYasha asked skeptically.
"My mom said a mountain had something to do with it." The little boy was somewhat hidden in the trees shadow so InuYasha could only see his white hair and golden-brown eyes. He knew exactly what the little boy was talking about, but he had just had put all possibilities of that out of his mind.
Could he really have fathered a kid and not even know it? He slowly walked over to the little boy who, very much like him, stood with his chin up and meeting InuYasha's amber gaze and Ryo walked into the moonlight.
When the pup got closer, it was no doubt they where father and son. Both had the hair and eye colorings, but they also had the lightly tanned skin and strong chin and jaw. Even when they examined each other closer for differences, they only ones they could find where in Ryo's personality.
"So kid.."
"Ryo."
"Ok, Ryo, can you take me to your mom? I really need to see her."
The little boy turned around and gave InuYasha a hard stare. "I love my mom. You break her heart, I break your face got it mister?"
InuYasha's mouth flopped open as he looked at, according to Ryo, his son. Then snapped shut and the older half-demon smiled and whispered so low no one could hear "A chip off the old block."
Sango was simple livid. Kagome was here! Under their noses this whole time! Last night Miroku had convinced her to fall asleep, but it was morning and she was letting out all of her frustrations on the poor monk.
"We should charge into the town, grab Kagome, and fly away into the sun set. Never mind it's morning. We'll fly into the clouds! Ya! That will work!"
Miroku's eye watched the half-crazed woman blab out absurd ideas of how to save Kagome, if she even needs saving. The monk bet she ran away from some commitment and had a kid. This would piss InuYasha off when he found out, Miroku just knew it.
"And what do you say about the kid?" He asked and the slayer spun around d to look at him.
She deflated and slid down the tree trunk of the tree close to her. She just shook her head and mumbled "She was my best friend and I want her back." Miroku stood up and made his way over to her. He gave her a big (only slightly perverted) hug. And said "We'll figure this out."
InuYasha landed lightly into their camp with the kid following behind him. Even the prideful half-demon had to admit, the kid was fast. Granted InuYasha was faster but, they still made great time. The two humans looked up to see InuYasha smiling like the Cheshire Cat.
"What happened?" Sango asked slowly
"I found Kagome's kid running around and look who he looks like." InuYasha said. The monk and slayer was expecting a half-wolf demon walk into their view but instead saw a proud quarter dog demon eyeing them curiously through his amber-brown eyes. Sango screamed.
Yes, it was a happy scream, but it still startled the demons. Even little Shippo shot out of the sleeping bag only to quickly fall back asleep. Sango ran over to the almost deft Ryo and gave him a huge hug. Even Miroku came over to look at the little boy.
"He said that I might be his father."
"You are." Ryo answered automatically and InuYasha just looked away.
"Goodness yes! You have to be the father InuYasha, look at his face, hair, and even his eyes!" Sango gushed but InuYasha just made a 'keh' noise and started thinking about the kid. The one thing Kikyo really had in common was there wanting to be a family, but Kikyo dismissed that though because she realized her children would have a little demon blood.
InuYasha had snapped out of his love bubble when he heard her say no to having pups. After that, he had started to have second thoughts and left her. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he most likely would have left her in the end anyway. She would come by to tell him news of Kagome and the jewel shards but mostly she just wanted InuYasha to come back. She didn't like losing what she thought was hers.
"Come on kid let's get you home." InuYasha said and walked in the general direction Ryo pointed them in.
He then looked down to Ryo, the kid looked so innocent and just screamed adorable. He must get that from Kagome. He had his arms crossed over his kimono (A/N: Spell Check said this was right…?) and walked just like InuYasha. Ryo would always run to keep up with His fast pace.
Every time Ryo snuck a peek at the hanyou to make sure he was walking right, he would imagine how his mother would react when he and his dad walked into the hut! His mind came with thousands of possible outcomes, ranging from her screaming with joy and running over to hug him to her screaming with anger and kicking his half demon bottom out of her hut. Hey, it is Kagome we are talking about.
As they got closer to the village InuYasha tried to pick up Kagome's sent but couldn't seem to find it, but he could smell the undertone of miko. Maybe Kagome really was here. He didn't want to get he hopes up so just looked right ahead.
As they finally cleared to trees, they saw long strips of ground that had been plowed for planting season and some men out working the soft soil. One looked up and caught sight of the group making their way to Kagome's hut. One man stopped them and eyed InuYasha warily.
"You're his father aren't you?" His voice was concerned not angry, and InuYasha realized why the men thought he was here. To take away Ryo.
"I don't know yet, I need to speak to Kagome now." He said, Kagome could be a mere few feet away from him and he needed to see her.
"That's Lady Kagome." The farmer said before slowly getting back to work.
As they walked to her hut the people walking through the streets made a clear path for them. InuYasha noticed that they had no anger at Ryo. They all looked at him with concern-filled eyes and knew that, if anything, Kagome had found the best place she could ever ask for to raise a son with demon blood.
The door to her hut was small and He almost wouldn't fit. Sango was bouncing up and down, and even Miroku was smiling. Shippo was leaning far off Sango's shoulder to see into the hut.
She had her back to them but they knew it was her, Her hair had grown and swung around as she mixed something, it was just past her bottom and she had it in a low ponytail. She had grown into her curves and had gotten taller. She shocked them all by talking, but she didn't turn around.
"Ryo what did I tell you about staying out late? You had me worried!" She said, and InuYasha almost ran to her. her voice still the same after all those years
"Sorry mom but look who I found wandering around out in the forest!" He sounded so happy.
Kagome stopped mixing and used her miko powers to see who was behind her. Half-Demon, It was him! Kagome froze, he had found them! She wanted to cry. For joy, sadness, for longing, and regret. But she didn't, she just sat her bowl down and slowly looked behind her.
His amber eyes locked onto her widened brown and she was a 15 year old girl again, caught up in his eyes. InuYasha's eyes.
She started crying as she slowly fell to the floor.
I'm finally done! I really hope you like it and again, really sorry it took this long to post this… My sister was playing some stupid game and wouldn't give me the computer…Grrr! I will try to have the next chapter out sooner than this one was!
