(yeah, stupid school kept me from updating my story sooner. Well, it still
kind of is, but I wanted to post anyways. So here you go!)
Chapter 3
"What? No way! That can't be true! People can't go to the past. That's impossible!" Ayane could not believe what her mother and father had just told her. Travel to the past? That just wasn't possible. Was it?
"Listen, I know that it sounds very strange, but think about it. How else would you explain your father being a hanyou?" ask Kagome. Inuyasha quietly snorted and shifted in his seat. Even after all of the years that had gone by, hearing the word 'hanyou' still had a discomforting effect on him. Yes, he no longer became angry at a person calling him that, but it was still a tender subject for him.
"But I don't get it. You just jump through a well and you end up in Feudal Japan? Does that mean that there are lots of other demons running around?" Without noticing it, Ayane raised her hand up to her head and felt her ears. For the first time since the explanation began, Inuyasha spoke up.
"Look, Ayane. In the short version, Kagome shattered a sacred jewel called the Shikon No Tama."
"Hey! It's not like I meant to!"
"Would you let me talk?! So anyways, we went around with some friends that we made and collected the shards. We finally managed to put the jewel back to together, but I went back to the past earlier today, and found a shard."
"Which means that it's broken again?" Inuyasha nodded at his daughter.
"Unfortunately, this probably means that we're going to have to go back to the past and start collecting the shards again," said Kagome.
"But Mom, who is going to take care of the shrine? Are you really going to let me stay alone by myself?" Kagome bit her lip. She really didn't want to leave her daughter home alone for so long, and she also doubted that Ayane would remember to do all of the necessary chores to take care of the shrine.
"Well.I suppose we could always let you come with us." Ayane's ears perked up.
"You mean, go with you? To the past? To meet all the demons?"
"Not everyone in the past's a demon, Ayane," said her father. "There's humans too."
"Oh, I know that, but if I want to see some humans I can just go outside. It's not like you can just snap your fingers and see a demon."
"Even if you come with us, don't think you can come back here and tell everyone about it. And it ain't a piece of cake in the past either. It's dangerous. If you come, you have to listen to us more than you ever have before, 'cause you don't know what's going on. We do," said Inuyasha.
"Of course! You can trust me, Dad!" assured Ayane, even though she had only half been listening. She couldn't believe it, she could go through time! She was going to see real live demons! "I better go pack supplies! You never know what kind of situation might come up!" Ayane leapt out of her chair and flew into her room to pack.
"Hmph. Well, at least we know now that she got more than looks and brains from you, Kagome." Kagome looked at him as she got up. "She also got your annoying need to overpack."
"Aw, you know you loved those chips and noodles that I used to bring you," said Kagome. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek on her way out of the room. Just as she was about to leave the room, she stopped. Turning back, she raced up behind him.
"Aw! What I good father you are! Good boy!" she teased, patting him on the head, before racing out of the room.
"Hey! Don't treat me like a dog!" he yelled after her. All he could hear was her laughing very loudly as she ran up to their room to pack some stuff of her own.
