Title: Shitsumon (Sounds like a Digimon or a Pokemon, huh? "Go Shitsumon!" Yeah......it means "question" in Japanese.)

Kagome watched her 11 year old daughter run to catch the bus on the first day of school.

"Have a good day, Aiko!" Aiko waved in reply, and jumped on the bus, making sure her hat was on securely.

Kagome sighed and headed inside. Her beautiful Aiko.......named for the deep love her mother had for her.......and her father.........would she ever meet him?

**************************************

That afternoon, Kagome stood anxiously outside on the porch as the bus pulled up to the yard. Aiko got off, and walked slowly toward her home.

"Did something happen?" Kagome asked nervously.

"They made me take the hat off," Aiko said quietly. Kagome put her arm around her daughter and led her inside.

"......And they thought they were some stupid hat, and told me to take 'em off," Aiko said that evening, furiously blowing her nose. "And then the smell..........Kami, I don't think half of them put on deodorant this morning......"

Kagome smiled slightly. She had her father's attitude, too.

"Mom?" Aiko suddenly put her head up. "Will you tell me about him? Tell me about Dad?" Kagome was startled, but she agreed.

"Your father......his name was Inuyasha."

"'Dog-demon'?" Aiko interrupted, confused. Kagome nodded.

"Anyway, he.........was very headstrong, stubborn, and had a major attitude. Kinda like you," Kagome added, smiling. "Your looks come from your father, although you have my hair color. You got your claws, teeth, and ears from your dad, you know."

"Dad had ears like mine?!" Aiko said in shock. Kagome nodded.

"And you've got your father's eyes. I swear, when I look at your eyes, it's just like........." Kagome trailed off, unsure how to continue.

"Mom? Did Dad.........die?" Aiko asked hesitantly, dreading the answer. She hoped he wasn't; it would be wonderful to find someone who looked like her, who understood the jeering........

"No...." Kagome said slowly. "Well, he wasn't dead when I left, but nearly nine years.......I really don't know, Aiko," she added softly.

"Mom? Um, I have this sort of dream thing........Kami it is so weird talking about this.......but I don't know, it could be a memory. So, um, I was wondering, if you could, y'know, tell me if it really happened or not."

Kagome nodded slowly, wondering what her daughter could possibly remember about feudal Japan.

"Well, in this dream-memory thing, I guess I'm about three, and, I dunno, there's all this fire, and people are shouting, and there's this roaring noise. This big thing, I don't know what it is, it's kinda like a big snake, is coming toward me, and all of a sudden, there's this big blur of red and white, and the thing is dead. Then, someone picks me up and starts running with me. For some reason, I'm not scared; I know this guy isn't gonna hurt me."

"The person who picked you up.......was it male or female? What were they wearing?" Kagome asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Aiko closed her eyes and concentrated.

"It's a man, definitely. I can hear some sort of clanging noise, maybe he had a necklace or something."

"The rosary," Kagome whispered.

"What?" Aiko asked. Kagome shook her head.

"Nothing......"

Aiko went on. "Anyway, he's wearing some sort of red outfit, and he's sorta, cuddling me as we run. Then he shouts something.......I know, he shouted your name. Then, he handed me to some girl, maybe it was you, Mom, and that's all I remember."

Kagome sat back in her chair, her eyes wide. The youkai raid, led by Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha, shoving her and Aiko down the well............/Aiko/ did remember..... Aiko was looking expectedly at Kagome, who cleared her throat.

"Yes, Aiko, that was a memory. That man in red, who was carrying you - that was Inuyasha. That was your dad."

****************************************

"Grandma!!!!!" Aiko shouted happily, bounding out of the car and throwing her arms around her mother's mother. She jumped off of her and went over to her uncle Sota. "Hey, Uncle Sota!" she grinned.

"Hey, kid," he grinned back, ruffling her hair.

"Touch the ears, and you die," Aiko said quickly. Sota laughed.

"You're a lot like your dad, you know that?" Aiko laughed too.

"Sota, will you take Aiko and go play? I want to have a talk with your sister," Mrs. Higurashi called.

Sota nodded, waving to Kagome and being dragged down the hill by his hyper niece.

"The house looks........nice, Mom," Kagome said, a forced smile on her face. Her mother took one look at that and sighed.

"C'mon inside, Kagome. You and me need to have a talk."

*******************************************

"It hurts you to be here, doesn't it? To be so close to the well?" Mrs. Higurashi asked gently.

"I hate that damn well!" Kagome burst out, tears filling her eyes. She stared down at the kitchen table, where they were currently sitting. "She asked about him the other night," Kagome whispered. "Aiko wanted to know about Inuyasha."

"What did you tell her?" Kagome's mother gasped.

"I didn't tell her about how I met him going through the well, or how it leads to feudal Japan, or any of that stuff, if that's what you mean. She'd probably go bounding down to that well now.........she really wants to meet him," Kagome added. "I told her that her father had ears like hers, and she was shocked."

What they didn't know was that Aiko was listening right outside the door with Sota.

"The well?!" she gasped. Without another word, she hurtled down the lawn to the shrine.

"Aiko!!!! Aiko, no!" Sota called, frantically chasing after her. But by the time he got to the shrine, Aiko had jumped into the well. And when he went up to the edge, peering anxiously down in, she was gone.

***********************************

Aiko sat up, looking around. "Uncle Sota?" she called up the well. No answer. She suddenly felt giddy with anticipation. 'Am I really in feudal Japan?'

Aiko climbed out of the well, and looked around. 'Oh Kami.......I /am/ in feudal Japan.........' She walked around aimlessly through the forest for a while, taking in the beautiful scenery. 'It's awfully quiet..........real peaceful, too.'

Too bad it didn't stay that way.

With a roar, a huge snake-like creature crashed through the forest, and Aiko screamed, stumbling backwards. She tripped on a tree root and fell hard on her backside. The thing reared back and roared, and Aiko got a /wonderful/ view of it's multiple rows of bloodstained teeth and all three of it's brick-red eyes. The monster leaned forward, about to make Aiko into a tasty meal, when a female voice from the side shouted, "I don't think so!!" A large boomerang came flying out through the trees and knocked the thing on the head.

A girl, with thick black hair, and a boy, also with black hair tied in a ponytail, came into the scene. Both seemed to be about Kagome's age. The girl was staring intently at Aiko, still on the ground, but the boy tapped a long staff on the ground and the monster disappeared in a brilliant swirl of white light.

The boy noticed Aiko too, and all three were staring intently at each other. The girl turned to the boy, her face slightly pale, and said, "Miroku - go get Inuayasha."

Preview of: Shukai (Meeting)

"Inuyasha," she whispered, swallowing the huge lump in her throat.

He stared at her, his amber eyes wide, as he tried to call to her, but his voice didn't seem to be working. All Inuyasha could do was reach out and bury his head in Kagome's hair, breathing in her familiar scent.

It was her. /His/ Kagome.
