Disclaimer. do I really need one? Hmm.. Lets think about that one. if I owned Inu Yasha and team, would I waist my time writing fanfics? No, I think not..

Makinglifeabetterplace: Thank you for your review! I appreciate it!

No matter what my reviewers say, good, bad, a quick hi, I will always recognize you one bye one.

Now, the next chapter in this 'amazing' fanfic.

Oh, the title of this fanfic is in honor of my dear friend, Rebecca. She talked me into using it, even though it may give wrong ideas about what happens.. oh well. *evil smile *

~*~ Chapter Five: The Talk ~*~

"Father, I have matters to discuss with you."

Korengo watched as his son shifted uncomfortably at the formality of this visit. "Koga," he asked again. "What is it?"

"Uh.um." Koga's face went maroon. How was he supposed to talk his father into marrying a human? Korengo took his silence as a chance to switch to a more comfortable topic for now.

"Where were you?" he asked casually.

"I was in the village, Father. I went to fish and decided to visit Miss Merinch." Slightly confused at the change in topic, the young youkai answered.

"And how is Miss Merinch? Doing well I hope." Korengo's voice seemed to be more cheery and light hearted at the mention of the woman. Koga noticed this, and hoped it meant that he liked her. He let a smile play on his lips.

"Oh, yea! She is doing quite well. Her herbs are growing in fine and she is in good health." Suddenly, Koga could see the love and joy his father felt for this human through the gleam of his eye. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard. "Um, Father?" Koga questioned, again growing nervous.

"Yes, son?" Korengo sat and closed his eyes, lost in his own thoughts. Koga decided to make a bold move and ask him the same question he had asked Merinch earlier that morning.

"What do you think of Miss Merinch?" His father's eyes shot open, staring blankly at him.

"Koga?" a confused demon sat before Koga, and his gaze immediately went to a now fascinating spot on the ground. "Well, I believe she is very honest and kind, mainly accented by her eyes," he spoke, picturing the young human. " She treats you like I do: a son. You seem to like her very much and that promises a friendship between human and youkai. That doesn't happen often. She is actually a very strong willed woman who is well off on her own. But." Again, Koga was thrown for a loop. 'But? Is that an adult's favorite word?'

Seeing the look on his son's face, half disappointment and half anger, he continued. "But what are you getting at? Why would you ask me something like that?"

Koga looked up and absent-mindedly spilled his promise. "I was wondering if you would mind mating with her since you both like each-" Koga cut himself off right there by slapping his hand over his mouth. He turned to run out of the cave, when her father's booming laughter stopped him. Shocked at what he was hearing, he turned right back around, seeing his father in hysterics on his bed.

The small youkai was furious. Merinch and now his own father had laughed at him. So, Koga leaped onto Korengo and started throwing punches, not hard ones but warnings. This attempt just made Korengo laugh harder. He rolled over, knocking his son onto the soft fur.

"No, Koga, I wouldn't mind, but that doesn't mean she wants to." At hearing this, it was Koga's turn to start laughing. He would tell his father about his talk with Merinch and his promise would be fulfilled.
