Inuyasha did not take kindly to his jolt out of the tree,

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" He bellowed.

"Your daughter." She answered quietly, grinning and showing her pointed fangs.

"I am not your father" he replied. Rei sighed deeply and rummaged around in her deep pockets, her eyes seemed to brighten as her hand closed around something. She drew it out of her pocket with agonizing slowness and reluctantly handed it across to Inuyasha. He looked at the photo and his face reflected a mask of amazement and confusion.

"Who is that?" he asked with a child-like curiosity, pointing with a claw at a dark haired woman in the photo. Her face was kind and her eyes were bright and cheerful, she was standing next to what looked like a human version of Rei. She had brown hair instead of auburn and her eyes were a deep chocolate brown.

"That is my mother." The voice that came out of her mouth was emotionless and cold. Rei stared at the ground quietly.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Inuyasha was getting irritated, " Who is she? Her name?" Rei's eyes turned to the sky and she watched the rays of sunlight creep over the still sleeping land of Feudal Japan.

"I..," she began.

'Should I,' Rei thought, 'what would the consequences be..?'

"Rei?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh," she was jolted back into reality, "sorry I zoned out, I do that a lot. Her name is..Kagome." There she had said it. Inuyasha's face remained blank and unmoving for a few minutes.

"K-Kagome? The tone of his voice rising in panic.

"Uh-huh!" Rei nodded her head in affirmation.

"What?!" "Kagome is my mother and you are my father!"

"How is that possible! We've never even-" Inuyasha stopped short and his face turned scarlet. He plastered his hands over his ears and shook his head,

"Bad thoughts bad thoughts bad thoughts bad thoughts!" he repeated. Rei who had finally caught on did much the same thing only her face was contorted into an expression of disgust and she rocked back and fourth repeating,"

"Happy place Happy place going to my happy place.." The sun had finally risen completely and its warm embrace greeted the two hanyou in their treetop.

"We will speak more about this later on but right now we need to get back to the village, Kagome and the others will be awakening right about now."

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Mother!" Rei cheered gleefully as she launched herself out of the foliage only to be snatched back by a clawed hand. "Neh?" Rei asked.

"You cannot tell Kagome about this just yet all right?" Inuyasha could not strain the importance of this request.

"Yes father!"

"Not just yet." Inuyasha held back Rei once more as she tried to escape by the collar of her shirt. Rei looked up at him baring her fangs.

"You're going to rip my shirt!" So she did have a temper. Rei placed her claws on the back of Inuyasha's hand and scratched. He yowled and dropped Rei and she fell, landing neatly on her feet. Inuyasha followed after her yelling something about Rei, murder and Tesusiaga.

By the time the two had reached the hut Kagome was outside cooking Ramen and a small kitsune sat upon her shoulder observing while chanting,

"FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD" Rei saw him and ran over to huggle him immediately.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I want a tail!" Rei proceeded to pet Shippo as he sat happily in her lap.

"Oh, Rei. Inuyasha," said Kagome, "Are you hungry?" Rei nodded her head eagerly, as did Shippo. Kagome turned her inquiry over to Inuyasha.

"Hungry? ..Inuyasha?" He had been staring at Kagome warily for the past few minutes trying to associate the woman in the photo with Kagome but she had broken his train of thought.

"What?"

"Are you hungry?" she waved the cup of noodles in front of his nose, "Ramen.."

"Sure.."He said dully as he walked over to the nearest splotch of shade and plopped down.

"What's his problem?" Kagome asked as she stirred her cup. Rei and Shippo just shrugged and went right on eating. Kagome looked over at Shippo ,

"Oh I am sorry! Rei this is Shippo, Shippo meet Rei" she announced.

"Oh I know him already!" Rei exclaimed, "I introduced myself while you and Fath- *cough* Inuyasha were talking. Inuyasha Let out a sigh of relief when Rei caught herself. She immediately changed the subject so as not to give Kagome any time to as questions.

"Can we go play?" Rei asked plaintively, "Please?" Shippo asked. "I suppose..But come back relatively soon!" ..Too late. They were already off into the village t wreak havoc on the unsuspecting people who lived there.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rei and Shippo bounded down the road to the village.

"What shall we do first?" Rei whispered. The growling of Shippo's stomach interrupted her thoughts. Rei eyed him warily, "Hungry?"

"Well I didn't get to finish the noodles Kagome brought us." Rei motioned to Shippo and they jumped to the roof of a house and made their way to the market place in the center of the village. The enticing smells wafted directly over to Rei and Shippo on their rooftop.

"How are we going to get the food?!"

"I don't suppose you have any money on you..?"

"What's that?" Shippo asked innocently.

"Never mind." Rei jumped down to the nearest stall and as the shop owners back was turned, she snatched four pieces of fruit off of the table and jumped back up to where Shippo waited.

"Here." She said, handing him two of the melons.

"Clepto." Shippo muttered.

"I am not!"

"Sure..I bet you steal all the time."

"Nuh-uh." Rei retorted.

"Clepto"

"Booger"

"Clepto"

"Booger"

"Clepto" Rei hit Shippo over the head with her melon to break it open.

"Oww!" He cried holding the bruised spot. Rei grinned evilly and bit into her fruit. Her face scrunched up.

"Blech!" Rei said as she spit it back out, "It was all sour-like." Rei paused for a moment then giggled. "Hey Shippo, watch closely."

"What are you doing?!?"

"Just watch."
