********** Takara's Apology **********

*In regular Japan*

Takara refused to apologize and dared to slaughter her father. Most people say she doesn't deserve to act like this, but does she really? She was terribly upset that her father was over protective of her. Inuyasha's feelings were about Takara, and Takara only. He would trade his life for her safety, Kagome even knew that.

Kagome had had it with Takara. She was about to ground her, but she couldn't. She knew what it was like to hate it. To see her cry and her tears of a broken heart. She couldn't bear to see Takara go though that pain.

"TAKARA!" Kagome ordered.

"Mom stay away and stay out of my life, I don't need parents like you when I can live on my own." Takara assumed, Kagome knew it wasn't true so she followed along.

"Fine you think you can, go down to the Futile Era and try it on your own. Then we will see who is right." Kagome ordered and pointed her down the way to the well.

Takara knew she really couldn't do it, but she had to prove her mother wrong to settle their argument. Takara wasn't one to lose, she would fight in her sleep to win. She had "issues" people might say, but as for me.... she is right to prove someone wrong

Takara was now living in the Futile Era alone, and Kagome and Inuyasha were fighting at home. Inuyasha thought he idea was stupid to let her live by herself. He kept nudging her to remember when she was eight.

"FINE INUYASHA I AM NOT GOING TO FIGHT WITH YOU," she took a deep breath and gave him an evil look. "Go get her then, but how about I warn you, remember what happened last time!"

Inuyasha let out a gasp and sighed. He couldn't say anything back, he was afraid his words would hurt her. Inuyasha walked away, leaving for the Bone Eater's well.

Kagome was frustrated with him, but didn't want to alarm him. She was tired of always fighting with him, she thought for a few minutes and wrote a note to leave on the table. She watched out the window to see if Inuyasha had fully left, and when he had disappeared she ran through the field in the backyard.

When Inuyasha got to the Era, Takara was in a battle. This time she was in real danger... it was Naraku! Takara was in trouble but Inuyasha didn't move.

"Naraku! I shall have you head mounted on my wall!" Takara screamed in anger. "DIE!"

"Ahh feisty are we? Nether the less.... I think it would be the other way around." He let out a horrid laugh of danger. A mist of death seeped through Takara's body. She knew she was in danger.

Naraku let out a wire sending Takara nailed to the ground. She couldn't breath but she was able to move her head a little. Just enough to see Inuyasha standing there, practically tearing.

She could speak a little but all she was thinking to say is "Help dad." Inuyasha flew right in there and helped.

It was a demon puppet but Takara was knocked out. When Inuyasha finished his battle he ran to her side and gentle touched her cheeks.

"Takara wake up, come on baby wake up"e he ran to her side and gentle touched her cheeks.peard he nudged at her side. Takara woke in fright knowing Naraku was still some where. She opened her eyes and he father was sitting there next to her.

"Dad" she said letting out a crying whimper, and falling into his arms. Inuyasha pulled his fingers through her hair and held her close, knowing she wasn't mad.

"I am here Takara. You don't have to cry." He said gently gliding his fingers under her eyes to wipe the tears away.

"Dad I am so sorry, I am never going to act like that again. I love you.... please forgive me." She cried and pleaded. Inuyasha understood her and forgave her.

"It's alright Baby I guess I should be sorry too, I should have waited for your permission. But now that's that lets go home, and talk about this shall we?" Takara nodded and went along to their home, where hopefully she could apologize to her as well as she did her father.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- When Inuyasha and Takara had arrived home, there was no sign of Kagome. They did see a note on the table and Inuyasha picked it up. Knowing it had to be from Kagome and wondering why she would leave a message since she has never done it before. Inuyasha read it over and over but he did not understand it.

Inuyasha was frightened but didn't know what to do. The note read:

Dear Inuyasha,

I know the last couple of weeks we have been fighting over Takara. Well I have decided to end it all. Until you guys get along and until you aren't mad at me anymore I shall come home. I am not telling you where I am because I trust my instincts. I will see you later and Inuyasha.... don't come looking for me. If you do, you have a one in one hundred chance of finding me.

Love always, Kagome.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Inuyasha still didn't understand what the message meant. He asked Takara and she knew, she explained to him in one simple sentence.

"Trusting you instincts is the right path to take." She told Inuyasha to remember that saying and to think about it for a while. Inuyasha finally understood it and waited day after day without sleep, for Kagome to come home.

About a week later Inuyasha had gotten some sleep but still, Kagome did not come home. Soon enough Takara and Inuyasha were left alone, and Kagome's mother had even left as well.

Isn't it sweet knowing someone who cares so much about you, can make you angry? Well everyone could learn a lot about Takara, and a lot of people I am sure have hated their parents more that ever. But have you ever thought about what it would be like knowing there is no one behind you to lead you down a rocky road, to teach things that have never been taught, to hug or kiss you when you cried? You should think about what Parents are really for!
