A.N. If I owned InuYasha you would see me on TV regularly acting like a retard because I love it so much. So for now, I am stuck here, wishing it were mine but all the while adding my own dorkyness to Rumiko Takahashi's masterpiece. (did I spell that right?)

Laura and her child
"Rin, baby, are you sure you know where we are going?" Laura asked the little girl who was staring at a piece of paper in front of her.

"Yes mommy, this is the right spot… I think. HEY LETS ASK HER!!!" the little girl ran off before her mother could even say anything more.

"Great," the woman grumbled to her self, "she's going to get into some real trouble one of these days."

InuYasha, who hadn't seen his father in three years was not so happy when the man was the first to show up at his house that night.

For Fluffy's sake I will be nice to the man. I really don't want to have to sleep with a weapon tonight. Yes that is a good point.

"Hello father," Sesshomaru said to the man at the door, "it's been a long time. Please come in."

"Sesshomaru, InuYasha, I am so pleased that you two would finally call me after all of these years," the older man said.

"Please, don't get the wrong idea, Sesshomaru wanted to share his 'good news' with the you because we have no other 'family'." InuYasha said, making sure his father saw the air quotes he used for good news and family.

The three men went into the room waiting for the other guests to arrive, although no one was talking Mr. Taisho knew that there was something both of his son's were keeping from him, but didn't say anything just yet. "So Sesshomaru," the older man said, "why is it that you finally called me after this long time?"

Kagome was walking down the road when she heard small steps running in her direction. She immediately passed it off thinking it was on one of the children who lived in the neighborhood, but she soon heard that the steps were getting closer so she slowed down and turned around cautiously.

"Excuse me lady," said a small voice that soon matched the hand tugging at the hand, "can you tell me where Sesshomaru Taisho lives?"
Oh wow, how cute! Kagome thought to herself. This must be Sesshomaru's fiancés daughter. But where is the woman herself? And why is the kid Japanese? That's strange.

"I'm so sorry," said a voice to Kagomes left, "we are looking for my boyfriends house, and my daughter doesn't know the area as well as she thought she did."

Kagome looked up to see a woman who didn't look like any other American she had met. This woman had black hair with red running through random area's, paired with the darkest eye's she had ever seen. Normally when Kagome ran into American women, they all had yellow or red hair and green eyes. She also dressed differently, she wasn't wearing the normal casual American style that was waving Japan recently. She wore simple jeans with a nice t-shirt and black boots. She's definitely odd. Kagome thought to herself.

"I'm sorry," Kagome said looking down, "did you say that you were looking for Sesshomaru's house?"

"Yes, do you know him?" the woman was a little surprised that this girl was so young to know the man, but figured that they met through a friend, or maybe she was a friend of his younger brothers. She was right.

"Yeah," Kagome said blushing, "I am friends with his brother."

Well, Laura said to herself, from what I know of Sesshomaru's brother when he has a female friend it always turns out that they aren't just friends. The older woman smiled at the girl in front of her.

 Laura said to herself, The older woman smiled at the girl in front of her.

"That's quite a coincidence then isn't it. I'm guessing you were coming over to dinner to meet the boy's father then?"

Kagome was surprised at the woman's words, but nodded her response anyway.

"Yes, InuYasha wanted me to come over because Sesshomaru had something to tell everybody, who included his father, and InuYasha needed a friend there to keep him from getting angry at their father." Kagome explained the rest of the situation as she led the other to girls in the direction of their destination.

Sesshomaru was about to tell his father the reason for having him over after such a long time, but just as the words were to come out the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it" InuYasha said standing up quickly, It better be Kagome. Please let it be Kagome.

InuYasha was relieved when he opened the door to reveal Kagome, but was shocked to see another woman and a child. InuYasha figured the woman had to be Laura by the way she looked she was clearly American, but different. The girl on the other hand was clearly Japanese. That's just weird. The boy thought to himself.

"Hi Yash," Kagome said cheerfully, "you remember Laura right?"

"yeah" InuYasha lied, he hadn't remembered the woman at all.

Flashback three years ago
Sesshomaru was waiting in the courthouse for his father and younger brother. Damn, does it take that long to get a 14 year old out of a room? The man said to himself before noticing a woman quite a bit younger than him stumbling out of a different room with a small child in her hands crying. From behind she looked like a regular woman, long black hair in a simple dress and sandals, but when she turned around Sesshomaru could tell she was different. She was still crying though, and being like any man in his family, Sesshomaru couldn't leave a woman crying and not do anything about it.

"Ma'am," he said slowly causing her to look up abruptly, "are you alright?"

"Oh, um… yes," she said, Sesshomaru noticed her strange accent.

"Are you sure? Most of the time when people cry they are sad" he pointed out wiping a tear off the woman's cheek.

"Oh yes, I am very happy. That's why I am crying." she tried to stop crying noticing how beautiful the man in front of her was.

Sesshomaru nodded, This must be the woman from the custody case I heard about the other day. She doesn't look old enough to be battling to take care of a child on her own.

"Well, I guess if you are alright I will take my leave." with that the man walked away.

"Well at least can I have your name?" the girl asked walking up to him, still clutching the child who seemed to be asleep.

"Sesshomaru," he said slowly.

"Well Sesshomaru, hello." she said smiling, "I'm Laura, this cutie is Rin. I would have her say hello but she's really tuckered out."

"She's what?" he asked now knowing this woman was American.

"Sorry, I keep forgetting nobody here understands my lingo. She's tired." the woman was laughing at herself now.

This has to be the strangest woman I have ever met. Maybe she's insane, that would explain why the trial for her took so long. I remember Miyouga saying that he was transferring a case of his over to his partner, the foreign woman who wanted custody of a child from here. That's odd, really odd. At lest she got what she wanted.

"Well Sesshomaru, Rin and I must really get home. I can finally say that for real now. Oh my," her eye's got a little blurry and she started crying again.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked seriously concerned now.

"Yes… sniff…I am so happy. Since I moved here, all I could do was live in this house by myself being depressed. Then this little one came into my life. It's just a dream come true.

At that last comment, Sesshomaru understood the woman. She was alone in a place she didn't understand.

"Hey Sesshomaru, can we leave now. The old man took off ten minutes ago, I've been looking for you," said a annoyed voice behind him.

"What now?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Well, you have the greatest luck to be stuck with me. You favorite little brother. LETS GO!" InuYasha was already frustrated at his brother for winning the case of custody of him. The bastard hates me, why the fuck would he want to keep me? Maybe it's because father is a pathetic excuse of a caretaker and Sesshomaru would at least remember you live here with him. Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

"Yeah hold on," Sesshomaru said angrily. "I hope you and your new daughter will do just fine, if not. Here, this is my home number pulling out a card call me if you need anything at all." InuYasha rolled his eyes.

"Well then, how's about you just call me?" the woman pulled out a card with a picture of a table on it.

Laura Aleman

Therapist/ Child Care assistant

---+---+-------

Sesshomaru smiled slightly. "Maybe I will." With that he ushered his younger brother out of the building to take them to his house.
end flashback

InuYasha remembered seeing the woman but had not met her. He knew his brother had gone on a couple of dates with her, but he didn't know that they were still seeing each other.

"Laura, Rin, you're finally here. Hello Kagome," said Sesshomaru's voice from the other side of the room, but just as quickly as he had arrived he had the woman in his arms for a hug. InuYasha wanted to laugh but instead got a thought.

"Hey I will be right back, c'mon Kagome," he said grabbing the girl and pulling him upstairs to her room.

"What is your problem?" Kagome growled at the boy as he pushed her into a wall.

"I just realized that just now I was so happy to see you. It was different than anything I am used to," InuYasha explained. But before Kagome could say anything to complain, he covered her mouth with his in a passionate kiss. Kagome didn't react at first, but when it sank in she kissed him back. InuYasha slowly raked his fangs over her lip, requesting entrance but she denied him.
"InuYasha," she breathed against his lips "we need to go downstairs. Isn't your father here?"

That last question made him angry, "yes he is" InuYasha said, Kagome looked up at him with sad eyes and he gave in. "alright lets go meet the old guy."

Kagome laughed, I love getting my way with him.

"I have one question before we go downstairs," he said holding on to her still.

"Sure," she said slowly.

"Why didn't you answer me this morning?" he asked looking down at her with a puppy dog look on his face.

"Um… I think maybe we should try dating each other before anything like that comes up." She said quickly pulling him away from her and leaving the room.

A.N. Well, I am done for now. I will update soon enough. Hope you like it!
