Chapter3: Now what
Inuyasha got an awkward look on his face as he saw everyone in the hut had quiet down and stared at him. He examined each one of their expressions; Miroku had a smirk on his face, Sango just stared at him in disbelief just like Kaede, Kagome was all red for no reason, Shippo's jaw had fallen to the floor in shock and the boy that was next to him looked at him with serious eyes. Wait a minute... Who? Inuyasha blinked at him a couple of times before speaking with his usual confused tone of voice.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked him now with a serious look on his face.
"Well who do you think! That's your son Inuyasha!" replied Miroku with an innocent smile on his face, making Sango and Kagome blush.
"MY WHAT!!??" Inuyasha stepped back in shock.
*whack*
Kasha had thrown Kagome's bag at Miroku, and the monk had now a red bump on his head.
"Like father like son..." Miroku mumbled as he rubbed his head.
"You desereved it Houshi-sama..." said Sango while giving him a weird look from the corner of her eye.
"What are you talking about!! He's not my father!!" yelled Kasha at the monk while getting a small blush.
"He's right Miroku! Stop saying those things!!" stated Kagome with her pink colored cheeks.
"But he's right Kagome! That boy does look like you... and Inuyasha..." stated Shippo as he stared at Kasha.
"No he doesn't!!" yelled Kagome. By this point Inuyasha was shocked, lost in his own thoughts. They all kept arguing about this situation and didn't notice Kaede had walked towards Kasha, who was standing next to the petrified hanyou, looking at them arguing. She'd stop a few meters in front of him and examined his face carefully.
" 'Hmm... this boy sure has Kagome's semblance... and Inuyasha's temper... hmm... how interesting...'" Kaede thought to herself. Kasha was getting really annoyed by all this staring.
"Hey! When are you gonna stop staring at me old lady!!" he snapped. Everyone in the hut stopped arguing and turned towards them. " And why are you saying that witch and that dog-boy are my parents!"
Inuyasha's ears twitched at the comment; then he turned towards him with an angry look on his face.
"OI!! What did you say you bratt!!??"
"Stay outta this!" Kasha snapped at him.
"NANI!!?!" Inuyasha and Kasha were staring daggers at each other as Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kagome stared at them with funny faces.
"Well there you have it..." stated Miroku as he shifted his gaze towards Kagome.
Kagome didn't know what to think. It couldn't be possible that this boy was his son, right? Yeah, it had to be just a coincidence, besides, she didn't quite see the resemblance between him and her. Sango noticed Kagome's confused and concerned expression, and decided to give the poor girl a break.
"I don't know Houshi-sama, maybe we're jumping into conclusions way too fast... besides, if he was truly Inuyasha and Kagome's son, don't you think he would've recognized them?..." Sango asked as they all kept their eyes on the fighting boys.
"Hm... I guess you're right Sango; if this boy was indeed their child he wouldn't be so rude towards them... You have told him what your name was, right Kagome?" They all waited for her answer, but after a few moments of waiting for the reply, they turned towards her. Kagome was just standing there staring at Inuyasha and Kasha argue, lost in her own thoughts.
"Kagome?" asked Sango, with no answer in return. She walked towards her and put her hand on her shoulder, which made the stunned girl get back from her dreamland. "Are you ok?"
"Eh?... hai... there's no way he's... our child... Miroku is right, this is just a weird coincidence..." she said, not taking her eyes off the two of them.
"Ok..." said a funny confused looking Sango as she went back to standing next to the monk. "She's sure in a shock..." she whispered to Miroku.
"Hai... hai... I guess we shouldn't have said all those things to her... Ahh, poor Kagome, we made her the mother of a spoiled little boy and what's worse, we turned her into Inuyasha's wife..." he stated as he sighed in a funny way.
"What did you say!?!" snapped Inuyasha and Kasha at the same time. After they did, they quickly glared daggers at each other and turned their faces away. Kagome smiled at this.
" 'They're right, he couldn't possibly be my son... for starters, what Sango said is true; if he was our son then he would've recognized us... besides, he would've been a hanyou like his father...'" Kagome thought to herslef as a sweet smile drew on her face. " 'I was kinda enjoying the idea though... a hanyou... just like his dad...'"
Kaede and Shippo were standing next to Kasha and Inuyasha, who were now quiet, but still glaring daggers at each other.
"What do you think Kaede-baachan?" asked Shippo as he still hold on to that piece of chocolate he was eating before. Kaede closed her eyes with a thoughtful expression, and then opened them again.
"Though there are many coincidences here, I doubt that he's their child..." Everyone turned towards her as she continued her explanation. "Just like Sango and Houshi-sama said, if you were the parents of this kid then I assume he would've recognized you two... and there's another fact; being the son of Inuyasha then he should've had to be a hanyou... but as you can see he's a normal boy..." They all nodded at her statement.
"Feh! I knew this couldn't be my son! He's just a spoiled little bratt like Shippo!" Inuyasha said as he smirked, closing his eyes.
"What!!?" Shippo and Kasha yelled at the same time.
"Feh... besides, how could I possibly marry that wench..." he finished triumphaly adding a smirk on his face. But that smirk lasted briefly as he felt a strong aura around him. He turned towards Kagome only to find her shaking in anger holding her fist in front of her and also with a deadly glare on her face. Miroku and Sango just held their common 'You're such an idiot' faces as they stared at him.
"He is so dead..." whispered Sango as Miroku only nodded in agreement.
"Inuyasha!!..." Inuyasha gulped as he knew what was coming his way. "OSUWARI!!"
*Crash*
Inuyasha's face hit the floor as fast as a thunder. Kasha just blinked at the sudden scene and then turned towards Kaede and Shippo.
"Did she do that!?" he asked in amaze as he saw Shippo nodding in response. Then he turned towards Kagome with a smirk. "Then you were really a..." he quickly stopped and gulped when he noticed the flames coming out of Kagome's whole body.
"Let's get to the problem before you start arguing again..." stated Kaede as she walked towards the middle of the hut and sat in front of the boiling tea pot, Miroku and Sango following her. Kagome stood next to Inuyasha glaring daggers at him before joining the rest.
"Kasha you better join us and tell us how you got here.." stated Miroku as Kasha just turned his face away from him and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Come on Kasha... we just want to help you, don't you wanna get back home?" asked Kagome, who was sitting next to Sango. Kasha looked at her from the corner of his eye and then walked towards them, sitting next to Shippo.
"Ok then... let's get started..." Kaede started asking questions about how he got to Kagome's time while everyone listened carefully to what he had to say.
Inuyasha got to his feet and dusted off his kimono, giving occasional glares at the boy sitting next to the little fox. " 'Feh... yeah right... like he could ever be my son...'" he thought to himself as he leaned on the wall behind him, his arms crossed and staring at the kid.
"... and that's how I got to her house... I don't know how I did it though..." Kasha finished saying staring at the tea pot in front of him.
" Yeah... that's what he told me... but I wonder how he was able to go through the well... you don't have any Shikon shards with you, do you?" Kagome asked him while staring at the confused boy.
"Shikon what?... I don't know what that is..." replied Kasha as he leaned forward towards the boiling tea pot. Miroku stopped him with his staff before he burned himself, only to get a death glare in response.
"So he doesn't know about the shards..." said Sango, lifting her face towards Kaede.
"The Shikon no Tama probably doesn't exist on his time... who knows how many things have changed there... how many years have passed..." Everyone stayed silent for a while, lost in their own thoughts.
"Do you think we were able to complete it?" asked Shippo with an intrigued look on his face.
"Who knows... tell me something Kasha, did your parents ever mentioned something about a period of time when demons were after these Shikon shards we're talking about?"
Miroku's question seemed to have had an effect on Kasha. He had gotten slightly sad eyes now and was playing with the sleeve of his kimono. They realized then something was wrong.
"I don't know... my father died when I was little... and so did my mom..." Everyone had gotten sad faces by this point, except for Inuyasha.
"I'm really sorry... I didn't know..." said Miroku not taking his eyes off of him.
"You must have suffered a lot..." added Sango.
"Feh! Why are you all feeling sorry for him!" Inuyasha stated with his eyes closed. "We've all gone through that... even Shippo's lost his parents and he's younger than him. or so it seems to be..."
"Inuyasha!" scolded Kagome with an upset look on her face. Kasha's face was now serious as he stared at the hanyou leaning on the wall. " Don't listen to him Kasha-kun..." Kagome stated with an apologetic expression on her face.
"I don't care... who said I was suffering anyway..." he turned his face away from the hanyou, who happened to do the same thing.
"How old are you Kasha?" asked Kaede as she saw the boy leaning towards Shippo, looking at the chocolate bar the little fox was eating with an intrigued expression.
"Nine..." he said as she stared at Shippo's chocolate bar. By this point the little fox had gotten suspicious eyes and turned the chocolate away from Kasha, making him get an annoyed look. This made Kagome smile as she started reaching for something on her bag.
"For a boy your age who's managed to survive alone you seem to have done it pretty well..." stated Miroku.
"Alone?... I'm not alone..."
"You're not?..." asked a surprised looking Sango.
"I have a brother... Eh?" he was interrupted when he notice Kagome was handing him a chocolate bar.
"Here, it's called chocolate... you'll like it..." said a smiling Kagome as she streched her arm to hand him the chocolate bar. Kasha stared at the weird sparkling wrapping of that thing called chocolate, and then stared at Kagome with suspicious eyes.
"Are you sure it's not some kind of..." Kasha was interrupted by Miroku.
"You better take it Kasha before you regret it..." the boy stared at him in confusion; he handt notice Kagome's forced smile and angry looking expression. Kasha took the chocolate bar and held it close to his face, he sniffed it a couple of times before he started unwrapping it. Then he started liking the back of the chocolate bar, and as he tasted the bitter- weet flavor coming from that thing, he started eating it really fast.
"So... Kasha, you said you have a brother?" stated Miroku with a grin on his face as he glared at Inuyasha from the corner of his eye.
"Now what??" snapped an angry Inuyasha as he stared at the monk's cool expression.
"Hai... oniichan took care of me when mom passed away..." Kasha mumbled with his mouth full of chocolate.
"So you've got an older brother... did he ever mention anything about the Shikon shards?" asked Kaede as a sweat drop fell from her head. Kasha's mouth was fulled of chocolate by now and also his hands.
"How many times do I have to tell you!... But now that I think about it, Kazuya once mentioned something about some shards..."
"Kazuya? Is that your niichan's name?" asked Shippo, getting a nod in response.
"And what did he say about it?" asked a now serious looking Miroku.
"Just that those shards made the demons stronger... and the people around them go crazy..." stated a careless Kasha while he liked the remaining chocolate off his fingers.
"Well that's nothing new... What can we do to help him Kaede-sama? Now that we know this had nothing to do with the Shikon no Tama..." asked a concerned looking Kagome. Kaede closed her eyes and stayed silent for a moment. Inuyasha broke the silence with his usual moking tone of voice.
"Why are you so worried? I'm sure the bratt will find a way home... Besides, we've got more important things to do..."
"Inuyasha! We have to help him get back to his time!Why do you always have to play the though one!?" snapped an angry looking Kagome as she stood by his side.
"What do you mean I always play the though one! You should know better than to bring a stranger here! Why didn't you just leave him with your family!"
"What?? Leaving that spoiled kid with MY family?? What are you crazy??..." Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs as she and Inuyasha started yet another one of their famous arguments.
"Hey!!..." snapped Kasha.
"STAY OUTTA THIS!!" yelled Kagome and Inuyasha at the same time, making Kasha step back in fear with a funny looking expression on his face while the rest had blinking eyes as the both of them continued arguing.
"You're lucky they're not your parents..." stated Shippo as he stared at the shaking boy sitting by his side, who just nodded in response.
"Of course they're not my parents... Kazuya always told me my mom had a smile for my dad all the time; and that he always saw they cared deeply about each other... Feh not like them..." he stated as he gave a funny look towards the fighting couple.
"And are you sure these two don't look like them?" asked Miroku while Sango gave him a weird look. Kasha saddened his eyes a bit as he continued.
"I don't know... I don't remember... my dad passed away when I was only one... and my mom a year after that... But I don't feel sad because Kazuya told me everything he could about them, and he took care of me since then..."
"Your brother must be a great person... if he took care of you since you were a little kid" stated Kaede from her seat. Kasha had now a proud smile on his face as he faced the rest of them.
"Hai! He even gave me bead bracelet that belonged to my dad!" He said triumphally as he showed them his right wrist. He didn't notice they're confused expressions as they stared back at him.
"What bead bracelet?" asked a confused looking Shippo.
"Eh??" Kasha took his wrist in front of his face only to find that the bracelt was gone. This made him go crazy as he quickly stood up and started looking around in a desperate funny way. "Where is it?? Where is it??!!!"
"Calm down Kasha! You're going to destroy Kaede-sama's hut!" stated Miroku as he quickly stood up to calm him down.
"I think it's too late for that Houshi-sama..." stated Sango with a sweat drop on her head as she saw that Kasha was making a mess all around him; pushing things to a side, throwing baskets everywhere; even Shippo came out flying.
Kagome and Inuyasha had kept arguing all this time. Her defiant look only made the hanyou get angrier, and his expression only made her get even more upset.
"... I don't care about what you have to say you wench!!"
"Inuyasha!!!... Osuwari!!"
*crash*
Broken pieces of wood came out flying from the spot Inuyasha had hit the ground. This of course, made Kaede sigh. Kasha slowed down and leaned on the wall of the hut, Miroku standing next to him.
"Where is it?? I have to fing that bead bracelet! My mom gave it to my dad!" he stated in a frustrated tone of voice, as the monk just stared at him with an apologetic expression. "Don't worry Kasha... I'm sure we'll find it..."
"Find what?..." asked an intrigued Kagome as she walked over towards them. Sango and Shippo joined them.
"A bead bracelet that belonged to Kasha... he said his brother gave it to him and that his mother had given it to his father first..." stated Shippoas he jumped to Miroku's shoulder.
"You mean you've lost it?..." asked Kagome with a little sadness reflected on her face. Kasha only nodded in response as he kept his head lowered.
Inuyasha was starting to get back on his feet as Kaede also got up and joined the rest.
"Don't worry Kasha-kun! We'll help you find it!" Kagome tried to cheer him up.
" A bead bracelet you say?... hmm..." by this point everyone had turned towards her.
"What are you thinking Kaede-sama? Do you think it could be possible that it was because of this bracelet that he was able to get here?..." asked Sango as she stared at old lady.
"There's a high possibility that's what allowed him to go through the well... maybe that bracelet was special..."
"Of course it was special!" Kasha snapped at her.
"Kasha!" scolded Kagome at him.
"What?? You're not the one who's lost the only thing that belonged to dad!" Kagome softed her expression and then continued.
"I know... but we're all just trying to think of something to help you here... but you're right, we've got to find that bead bracelet first... could you tell us how it looks like?"
"Feh!!" Inuyasha got up dusting off his kimono. " Don't even think about it! I'm not willing to go looking for some lost bead bracelet! It could be anywhere!" he said while dusting the sleeve of his kimono, Kagome and Kasha stared seriously at him before he snapped suddenly.
"That's it!!" Everyone turned to Kasha, who just stared blinking at Inuyasha's wrist. Inuyasha just held a confused expression, blinking eyes as well. "It looks like that one! Only mine was dark green and it didn't look so old!"
Inuyasha stepped back with a confused face as everyone had gotten closer. Miroku held Inuyasha's wrist while everyone else stared at it, and the bead bracelet around it.

Chapter3: Now what
Inuyasha got an awkward look on his face as he saw everyone in the hut had quiet down and stared at him. He examined each one of their expressions; Miroku had a smirk on his face, Sango just stared at him in disbelief just like Kaede, Kagome was all red for no reason, Shippo's jaw had fallen to the floor in shock and the boy that was next to him looked at him with serious eyes. Wait a minute... Who? Inuyasha blinked at him a couple of times before speaking with his usual confused tone of voice.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked him now with a serious look on his face.
"Well who do you think! That's your son Inuyasha!" replied Miroku with an innocent smile on his face, making Sango and Kagome blush.
"MY WHAT!!??" Inuyasha stepped back in shock.
*whack*
Kasha had thrown Kagome's bag at Miroku, and the monk had now a red bump on his head.
"Like father like son..." Miroku mumbled as he rubbed his head.
"You desereved it Houshi-sama..." said Sango while giving him a weird look from the corner of her eye.
"What are you talking about!! He's not my father!!" yelled Kasha at the monk while getting a small blush.
"He's right Miroku! Stop saying those things!!" stated Kagome with her pink colored cheeks.
"But he's right Kagome! That boy does look like you... and Inuyasha..." stated Shippo as he stared at Kasha.
"No he doesn't!!" yelled Kagome. By this point Inuyasha was shocked, lost in his own thoughts. They all kept arguing about this situation and didn't notice Kaede had walked towards Kasha, who was standing next to the petrified hanyou, looking at them arguing. She'd stop a few meters in front of him and examined his face carefully.

Inuyasha's ears twitched at the comment; then he turned towards him with an angry look on his face.

"Stay outta this!" Kasha snapped at him.
"NANI!!?!" Inuyasha and Kasha were staring daggers at each other as Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kagome stared at them with funny faces.

"Eh?... hai... there's no way he's... our child... Miroku is right, this is just a weird coincidence..." she said, not taking her eyes off the two of them.
"Ok..." said a funny confused looking Sango as she went back to standing next to the monk. "She's sure in a shock..." she whispered to Miroku.
"Hai... hai... I guess we shouldn't have said all those things to her... Ahh, poor Kagome, we made her the mother of a spoiled little boy and what's worse, we turned her into Inuyasha's wife..." he stated as he sighed in a funny way.
"What did you say!?!" snapped Inuyasha and Kasha at the same time. After they did, they quickly glared daggers at each other and turned their faces away. Kagome smiled at this.

Kaede and Shippo were standing next to Kasha and Inuyasha, who were now quiet, but still glaring daggers at each other.

"What!!?" Shippo and Kasha yelled at the same time.
"Feh... besides, how could I possibly marry that wench..." he finished triumphaly adding a smirk on his face. But that smirk lasted briefly as he felt a strong aura around him. He turned towards Kagome only to find her shaking in anger holding her fist in front of her and also with a deadly glare on her face. Miroku and Sango just held their common 'You're such an idiot' faces as they stared at him.
"He is so dead..." whispered Sango as Miroku only nodded in agreement.
"Inuyasha!!..." Inuyasha gulped as he knew what was coming his way. "OSUWARI!!"
*Crash*
Inuyasha's face hit the floor as fast as a thunder. Kasha just blinked at the sudden scene and then turned towards Kaede and Shippo.
"Did she do that!?" he asked in amaze as he saw Shippo nodding in response. Then he turned towards Kagome with a smirk. "Then you were really a..." he quickly stopped and gulped when he noticed the flames coming out of Kagome's whole body.
"Let's get to the problem before you start arguing again..." stated Kaede as she walked towards the middle of the hut and sat in front of the boiling tea pot, Miroku and Sango following her. Kagome stood next to Inuyasha glaring daggers at him before joining the rest.
"Kasha you better join us and tell us how you got here.." stated Miroku as Kasha just turned his face away from him and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Come on Kasha... we just want to help you, don't you wanna get back home?" asked Kagome, who was sitting next to Sango. Kasha looked at her from the corner of his eye and then walked towards them, sitting next to Shippo.
"Ok then... let's get started..." Kaede started asking questions about how he got to Kagome's time while everyone listened carefully to what he had to say.
Inuyasha got to his feet and dusted off his kimono, giving occasional glares at the boy sitting next to the little fox. " 'Feh... yeah right... like he could ever be my son...'" he thought to himself as he leaned on the wall behind him, his arms crossed and staring at the kid.
"... and that's how I got to her house... I don't know how I did it though..." Kasha finished saying staring at the tea pot in front of him.
" Yeah... that's what he told me... but I wonder how he was able to go through the well... you don't have any Shikon shards with you, do you?" Kagome asked him while staring at the confused boy.
"Shikon what?... I don't know what that is..." replied Kasha as he leaned forward towards the boiling tea pot. Miroku stopped him with his staff before he burned himself, only to get a death glare in response.
"So he doesn't know about the shards..." said Sango, lifting her face towards Kaede.
"The Shikon no Tama probably doesn't exist on his time... who knows how many things have changed there... how many years have passed..." Everyone stayed silent for a while, lost in their own thoughts.

Miroku's question seemed to have had an effect on Kasha. He had gotten slightly sad eyes now and was playing with the sleeve of his kimono. They realized then something was wrong.
"I don't know... my father died when I was little... and so did my mom..." Everyone had gotten sad faces by this point, except for Inuyasha.
"I'm really sorry... I didn't know..." said Miroku not taking his eyes off of him.
"You must have suffered a lot..." added Sango.
"Feh! Why are you all feeling sorry for him!" Inuyasha stated with his eyes closed. "We've all gone through that... even Shippo's lost his parents and he's younger than him. or so it seems to be..."
"Inuyasha!" scolded Kagome with an upset look on her face. Kasha's face was now serious as he stared at the hanyou leaning on the wall. " Don't listen to him Kasha-kun..." Kagome stated with an apologetic expression on her face.
"I don't care... who said I was suffering anyway..." he turned his face away from the hanyou, who happened to do the same thing.
"How old are you Kasha?" asked Kaede as she saw the boy leaning towards Shippo, looking at the chocolate bar the little fox was eating with an intrigued expression.

"For a boy your age who's managed to survive alone you seem to have done it pretty well..." stated Miroku.
"Alone?... I'm not alone..."
"You're not?..." asked a surprised looking Sango.
"I have a brother... Eh?" he was interrupted when he notice Kagome was handing him a chocolate bar.
"Here, it's called chocolate... you'll like it..." said a smiling Kagome as she streched her arm to hand him the chocolate bar. Kasha stared at the weird sparkling wrapping of that thing called chocolate, and then stared at Kagome with suspicious eyes.

"Hai... oniichan took care of me when mom passed away..." Kasha mumbled with his mouth full of chocolate.
"So you've got an older brother... did he ever mention anything about the Shikon shards?" asked Kaede as a sweat drop fell from her head. Kasha's mouth was fulled of chocolate by now and also his hands.

"Inuyasha! We have to help him get back to his time!Why do you always have to play the though one!?" snapped an angry looking Kagome as she stood by his side.
"What do you mean I always play the though one! You should know better than to bring a stranger here! Why didn't you just leave him with your family!"
"What?? Leaving that spoiled kid with MY family?? What are you crazy??..." Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs as she and Inuyasha started yet another one of their famous arguments.
"Hey!!..." snapped Kasha.
"STAY OUTTA THIS!!" yelled Kagome and Inuyasha at the same time, making Kasha step back in fear with a funny looking expression on his face while the rest had blinking eyes as the both of them continued arguing.
"You're lucky they're not your parents..." stated Shippo as he stared at the shaking boy sitting by his side, who just nodded in response.
"Of course they're not my parents... Kazuya always told me my mom had a smile for my dad all the time; and that he always saw they cared deeply about each other... Feh not like them..." he stated as he gave a funny look towards the fighting couple.
"And are you sure these two don't look like them?" asked Miroku while Sango gave him a weird look. Kasha saddened his eyes a bit as he continued.
"I don't know... I don't remember... my dad passed away when I was only one... and my mom a year after that... But I don't feel sad because Kazuya told me everything he could about them, and he took care of me since then..."
"Your brother must be a great person... if he took care of you since you were a little kid" stated Kaede from her seat. Kasha had now a proud smile on his face as he faced the rest of them.
"Hai! He even gave me bead bracelet that belonged to my dad!" He said triumphally as he showed them his right wrist. He didn't notice they're confused expressions as they stared back at him.
"What bead bracelet?" asked a confused looking Shippo.
"Eh??" Kasha took his wrist in front of his face only to find that the bracelt was gone. This made him go crazy as he quickly stood up and started looking around in a desperate funny way. "Where is it?? Where is it??!!!"
"Calm down Kasha! You're going to destroy Kaede-sama's hut!" stated Miroku as he quickly stood up to calm him down.
"I think it's too late for that Houshi-sama..." stated Sango with a sweat drop on her head as she saw that Kasha was making a mess all around him; pushing things to a side, throwing baskets everywhere; even Shippo came out flying.
Kagome and Inuyasha had kept arguing all this time. Her defiant look only made the hanyou get angrier, and his expression only made her get even more upset.
"... I don't care about what you have to say you wench!!"
"Inuyasha!!!... Osuwari!!"
*crash*
Broken pieces of wood came out flying from the spot Inuyasha had hit the ground. This of course, made Kaede sigh. Kasha slowed down and leaned on the wall of the hut, Miroku standing next to him.
"Where is it?? I have to fing that bead bracelet! My mom gave it to my dad!" he stated in a frustrated tone of voice, as the monk just stared at him with an apologetic expression. "Don't worry Kasha... I'm sure we'll find it..."
"Find what?..." asked an intrigued Kagome as she walked over towards them. Sango and Shippo joined them.
"A bead bracelet that belonged to Kasha... he said his brother gave it to him and that his mother had given it to his father first..." stated Shippoas he jumped to Miroku's shoulder.
"You mean you've lost it?..." asked Kagome with a little sadness reflected on her face. Kasha only nodded in response as he kept his head lowered.
Inuyasha was starting to get back on his feet as Kaede also got up and joined the rest.
"Don't worry Kasha-kun! We'll help you find it!" Kagome tried to cheer him up.
" A bead bracelet you say?... hmm..." by this point everyone had turned towards her.
"What are you thinking Kaede-sama? Do you think it could be possible that it was because of this bracelet that he was able to get here?..." asked Sango as she stared at old lady.
"There's a high possibility that's what allowed him to go through the well... maybe that bracelet was special..."
"Of course it was special!" Kasha snapped at her.
"Kasha!" scolded Kagome at him.
"What?? You're not the one who's lost the only thing that belonged to dad!" Kagome softed her expression and then continued.
"I know... but we're all just trying to think of something to help you here... but you're right, we've got to find that bead bracelet first... could you tell us how it looks like?"
"Feh!!" Inuyasha got up dusting off his kimono. " Don't even think about it! I'm not willing to go looking for some lost bead bracelet! It could be anywhere!" he said while dusting the sleeve of his kimono, Kagome and Kasha stared seriously at him before he snapped suddenly.
"That's it!!" Everyone turned to Kasha, who just stared blinking at Inuyasha's wrist. Inuyasha just held a confused expression, blinking eyes as well. "It looks like that one! Only mine was dark green and it didn't look so old!"
Inuyasha stepped back with a confused face as everyone had gotten closer. Miroku held Inuyasha's wrist while everyone else stared at it, and the bead bracelet around it.
