Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-yasha or Yu-Yu hakusho but should Inu-yasha or Heie ever go up for sale I will out bid anyone who tries to buy them.

"Hey, Botan. Come on, wake up."
Yusuke tries to revive the blue haired woman, by shaking her gently. He has pulled them onto a backstreet wherepeople are less likely to hear them.
*moan*"Oh, Yusuke! I just had the strangest dream, I dreamt that you told me your father was Inu-yasha, and that you had dog ears... on... your... head..."
Apparently Yusuke never put his hat back on and Botan is able to see his ears clearly.
"It wasn't a dream was it?"
"Nuuh. It's true. I take it you know who my dad is. Please tell me about him. I'd ask my mom, but she broke down crying just telling me what little she did. She doesn't even know if he's alive or dead."
Botan comfortingly places her hand on Yusuke's shoulder.
"Yusuke, Inu-yasha died 100 years ago. How its even possible he's your father is beyond me..."
"My mom said she used to go between the present and the warring states period via a well on her property when she was 15. So that explains the how."
"Yes, it does. It also explains why Inu-yasha became so depressed during that period. I quess your mother left him."
"No, her family destroyed the well and disowned her for loving him."
"Oh! Well that makes sense. I quess they weren't exactly thrilled with her choice in men."
And so Botan shares the information she has on Inu-yasha with Yusuke.
**********
"Hey, Botan, thanks for telling me all that. Its nice to know my dad was a good guy. I wish I knew where he was buried though, so I can pay my respects. Why don't you come back to my place. I think I should tell my mom my extracurricular activities now."
"That's a good idea, Yusuke. I'd be happy to accompany you."
**********
"Mom, I'm home."
"Good. Yusuke, come in here I want you to meet some one. He's an old friend of your father's."
Yusuke and Botan exchange looks and head into the kitchen. When they gt there they see Kagome but they don't notice anyone else.
"Uh..mom, there's no one here."
"Huhn, oh! Yusuke who's your friend?"
"Oh, this is Botan. I have something I want to tell you mom. You remember that accident I had seven months ago?"
"Yes, the docters said you were dead, but that is obviosly not true."
"Actually.. It was."
And so Yusukeshares with his mother and unknowingly with Myoga what has happened since he 'died'.
*********
"It appears the young master needs his inheritance more than I thought."
"WHAAAA!?Who said that?"
"Why, it was I. Myoga the flea, at your service young master."
"Yusuke, this is your father's retainer, Myoga. He was with your father when he died and has been searching for us since so that you may get your father's sword, the Tetsuiga."
"The Tet...Tetsuiga. You mean it really exists. I thought it was just a rumor. No one ever saw it when he wasn't fighting and even then it was rare."
She says this with a look af almost absolute disbelief and shock on her face.(A/N:She must be getting used to things.)
"Ahem, Lady Kagome. I beleive it would be wise to leave now if you wish to get to Lord Inu-yasha's grave before dark."
"Oh, yes, let's go. Botan your welcome to come as well."
"Thank you, but I really shouldn't intrude. This is a family matter. Goodbye."
Botan leaves.
"Do you need to get anything before we leave, Yusuke?"
"No, let's go its about time I paid my respects to my father, but I am curious, why would he need a retainer?"
"Well he was the son of the Great Demon of the West and he would have been rather well off if his brother hadn't kicked him out."
"In other words, Yusuke, he was a lord's son, but not a lord himself."
"Okaay..."
"Don't worry about it. Its a complicated matter."
And so, with Myoga's lead, the trio sets off toward Inu-yasha's final resting place.
