Yet another chapter, I hope you like it, and I want to say thanks for the reviews. I don't own anything.

Kagome stood watching her little girl playing with the other children. She wondered how she would react, it was necessary for her to know sooner or later. She just decided that it would be good, since tomorrow would be the last day in Kyoto, they were moving back to Tokyo. So Kagome could start work and Ruri would be going to school.

Kurama walked with his mother and Kimiko, he smiled at the reaction he got from his mother. She was ready a minute after he told her he was going and Kimiko was even happier to go. He turned to his side, she was beyond beautiful, just walking with proper. Her hair bouncing as she walked, and how her eyes light with anything that caught her attention. What she was wearing was something his mother had left from her younger years and she looked pretty. He had to admit, she wasn't the person she was just a few weeks ago, she was completely different. More open minded, and was even happier, thanks to a certain blue eyed women.

He stopped in his tracks as came to the view of the playground. There with her black hair flowing behind her as she ran with the children and her dog, was his emerald girl. She played freely with the other children as if there was no other thing in the world that could destroy her happiness.

He watched as his mother walked to the slender women, with midnight hair that sat at the bench. He knew it was Kagome and decided to follow suit.

Kagome sat on the bench waiting for the three, she soon seen Shiori and walked to the elder. She hugged her, then went to Kimiko and did the same. She pulled away looking into her silver eye's, and could tell she was doing a lot better. Kimiko smiled but behind her she was scared, losing someone she loved, and the friend she just made.

Kagome turned to Kurama, never leaving eye contact. After time and time again, she thought that she could stare at him with love in her eye's but it appeared that it didn't happen. Her she stood looking into the past, the hurt that he caused, that she was willing to forget.

" Hello Shuichi," she said just as her daughter came running up to the four. She launched her hands onto her mother's, and stared at the three. Shiori was holding her hands in front her her chest, excited at see her granddaughter.

" Oka-san why is the nice man her with those two women," she asked innocently. Kagome took the little girl back to the bench, she held her daughter's hand delicately.

" Honey there is something I wanted to tell you," Ruri just blinked. " What do you think about having a father." With that said Ruri was excited.

" Papa, he's here where," she said as she jumped off the bench and started to look around the park.

Kagome was confused, " Honey who are you looking for."

" Papa," she said well tilting her head. " You said he was here and I don't see him."

" Honey he is here, he's right in front of you," Kagome said well pointing to Kurama.

Ruri just blinked trying to understand. There stood the nice man, he was the one that made okasan cry, but then again he did save her, she just couldn't believe it.

She continued to star at Kurama with blank eye's. Kurama bent down to her level and held out a red flower. It seemed he knew what favorite flower she liked. She turned to Kimiko and stared at her with hatred, then she quickly smacked the rose out of kurama's hands and ran away with tears trailing down her face.

Kagome jumped to her feet, and watched as her daughter ran off. She followed her until she couldn't find her anymore. Kagome screamed Ruri's name but she didn't answer, Kurama came behind her.

" Ruri," she yelled as crying, she was worried, " Where could she have gone." She asked herself, she didn't know but she continued to run around town looking for her. Well Kurama did the same, knowing it was a bad choose to have told her.

Kagome continued to look, it was hours, and soon it was going to be dark. She cried all her tears, she was tired from running, but wanted her daughter. She knew she was a bad mother, she figured it wasn't time to tell her daughter who her father was. She was tired but she wasn't going to wait, she continued on until night hit.

Hiei was walking along the pond, he couldn't help but wonder around since it was a full moon. He stood still watching the sparkling lake, with the reflections of the moon gazing above it. He heard rustling and turned to find a very distressed Ruri, her clothes were dirty and torn, her face had starches that were easily to see. She walked slowly to him, but then turned into a jog. She then launched herself to him well hanging on tight.

" Why," she cried, she pounded against his body, " Why didn't you tell me that your not my daddy," she cried. She lifted her tiny head, stared at him with her sad emerald gems and cried. " I wanted you to be my daddy not that person who made mommy cry, I wanted you," and cried even harder as she ducked her head into his pants.

Hiei was shocked that he just knelt down and hugged her back. He let her cry until she calmed down. " Why, why can't you just tell mommy you love her so we can be a family." She asked as she continued to bury her head into his chest. " I want you to be my daddy, please." She said this time as she asked staring into his ruby eye's.

He shook his head, " I love your mother, but she doesn't want me," with hearing that she cried even harder. " I would of loved to be your father but things can't always work out that way, plus I'm sure your real father loves you as well." She just hugged him not wanting to let go, he picked her up and went to the bench that was by the pond. She hugged him, and he just sat there admiring the scene, she then feel asleep in his arms.

Hiei just wanted to cry, knowing how much he really wanted them to be a family, but it was out of his league. There was no way Kagome returned his feelings, he knew because she didn't have room in her heart. An image of his beauty passed through his mind, as he just wonder why it had to be her. Out of all women why did he have to love someone that didn't love them back. He clutched Ruri further into his arms hugging the girl as if she was is only reason to live. He wanted it to end, he turned as he heard rustling coming from behind and found the women he loved.

There she stood, ever so tired, her hair was a mess, and he could smell the tears that stained her face. She walked to them and then sat right beside him. She brushed the strains of hair that was left in her daughter's face. She turned her eyes to him, and gave him a warm smile well crying. " Thank you," she said well she still cried. Kagome was ecstatic at the fact that Ruri was with Hiei, when she seen the two she finally understood why she ran away. Because she thought Hiei was her father.

Hiei stood, and Kagome did the same, he handed her the sleeping girl and then turned away, not wanting her to see a tear he shed for her. Kagome watched as he disappeared into the darkness, where he usually was.

Kagome wanted to go after him, but something was stopping her. She looked down at the sleeping face of her daughter and knew why, remorse, and confusion. Kagome walked home, happy that her daughter was home, but sad for the confusion she didn't understand.

Once she made it home she lied her daughter on the bed, and just watched through the hole night as she slept. She walked to the window and just stared into the night sky, wishing.

Kagome awoke the next day to the giggling of her daughter, she turned and saw her pointing. As she turned to look she saw that Kero was lying right to the side of her with his head right into her hair. She sighed and went to her daughter well hugging her.

" Gomen okasan, I didn't mean to run away, I was just sad." Kagome pulled way from her well looking into the emerald eyes as she cried.

" Why did you run off, do you know how worried I was." Ruri bowed her head.

" I know it's just when you said that the guy with red hair was my father I was scared, and upset. I already have a daddy so I don't need him now do I."

Kagome just shook her head, " Honey you can't just pick a person and call him your father."

" But he loves you Okasan, I know I can tell, and he loves me too, why can't we be a family."

Kagome didn't know what to say, " Honey, even if we were a family he can never take the place of your biological father."

Ruri bowed her head, she was disappointed, she wanted them to be a family. " Honey please get to know your father, he loves you. Plus its not his fault he never knew about you, I just never told him." She then regretted that when her daughter stared at her with wide shocked eyes.

" Why,"

" Because honey it was a hard time, he wasn't there."

" and yet Hiei was."

Kagome was astonished, " I know Okasan I can tell, it explains how he knew it was my birthday, he knew who I was, and he even was nice to me, the present. Okasan I know you have feelings for him, why do you hide it."

Ruri was then again crying, " Gomen Okasan, I just want you to be happy, and if you want me to be happy with just my real father then I will, I just want a family." Kagome hugged her crying daughter, as she cried herself. How could it take just one little girl to realize her feelings for him. She had to do something and she was going to do it.

She pulled away from Ruri well wiping her eyes and herself. " Honey I want you to be a good girl alright."

Ruri just nodded her head, " I'll be back in a while, but when I'm gone your father is coming to visit you, please be good." Ruri just said yes, as Kagome jumped off the bed and ran out of the house to her car. She hopped right in and took of to her destination. Fully a ware of what she was doing, with a smile.
