Lost and Found

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha! I told you that last time! IDIOTS!

"Gods, am I bored," Inuyasha slammed his fists into the ground. "Oh, what the hell," he called inside, "Miroku! Let's go to the mall!" " Be right there, just gotta grab some cash," he emerged from the house, "Let's go." "Five hundred and sixteen years," Inuyasha said, "an awfully long time to wait, huh?" "Yep," Miroku said, "I wish Sango and Shippo could've waited with us... I miss them," "Yeah, me too," Inuyasha sat down on a bench, and scanned the crowd. "Whoa! Do you see what I see?" he asked Miroku. "Oh, lame," Miroku said, with a snigger. "What did you see?" Miroku scanned the crowd. "Two inu-youkai, probably twins. They're over there," he pointed, "see them?" "No, but I see two silver haired girls, and they're gorgeous!" Miroku winked. "You do remember that you're over 500 years old, right?" He looked over at Miroku, but he'd already walked over, and was talking to one of the girls, Inuyasha hurried after him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha said to Miroku, as the girl's sister grabbed her by the arm, pulled her away from Miroku, and said the same thing. Inuyasha blinked in astonishment, as he looked at the girls, obviously twins, who were both glaring at Miroku. "Sorry about him, girls, he can't help himself. We've got him into a psychiatrist's, but she can't do anything to change him," he elbowed Miroku, hard, in the ribs."By the way, what're your names?" "Arienna Higurashi," "Jasmina Higurashi," they smiled at him, "we're twins," "D-did y-you s-say ... H-Higurashi?" Inuyasha stammered. "Sure did, why?" "Your mother, what's her name?" "Kagome Higurashi. Why do you care?" "Do you live at that shrine a few miles from here?" ha asked, while trying not to faint, or cry, or something. "Yeah, what's it to you?" they said in unison, both equally suspiscious of this strange, silver-haired man. "How old are you?" "Fifteen," Arienna said. "Yep, as of ... three months ago," Jasmina said, they smiled. "Excuse me," Inuyasha said, and ran out of that mall as fast as his legs would carry him. 'Oh, please be home,' Inuyasha thought, 'I can't bear to wait anymore.' A woman was outside, tending to a garden, an old woman. "Damn, it's not Kagome." The woman looked up from her garden, saw Inuyasha, and gasped, "Kagome! Come here, quick!" "What is it, Mom?" Kagome dropped the basket of laundry that she'd been carrying. "Inuyasha..." she fainted. "Mom? Mom! Wake up!" it was Ari, she was gently shaking Kagome, to wake her up. "Where is he?" Kagome sat bolt upright. "Who?" "Inuyasha." "Who?" "Inu- the man with silver hair." "Oh, him, he's in the kitchen, why?" Kagome jumped up, and ran to the kitchen, where Inuyasha sat at the table, drinking coffee. "Inu-Inuyasha..." she breathed, "how did you find me?" "Those two," he pointed at Ari, and Mina, "I met them at the mall, Miroku too," he looked at Kagome, "who are they?" "Our daughters," she said, and this time, he swooned, but didn't faint. "What do you mean?" he asked, breathless. "I mean, do you remember when you told me that my aura was brighter that last day?" "Yeah," "Well, I was pregnant, with these two," she hugged and kissed each of her daughters. They giggled, "Mom! That's embarrassing!" "Yeah!" Mina said, "Who is he, anyway?" "Your father," Kagome said. "What?" they both jumped back, and looked from Kagome, to each other, then back at Kagome. "What do you mean? You'd said that he'd died," Ari was obviously, utterly confused. "Yeah, Mom, what's up with that?" Mina was suspicious. "Mom," Kagome said, "could you tell the girls the story? I need to talk to Inuyasha." "Okay, Kagome. Come with me, girls," they followed their grandmother, reluctantly. As soon as they'd left, Kagome rushed over and hugged Inuyasha, squeezing him so hard that he had to pull her off of him to breathe. She was crying. "I missed you so much," she said, "you can't imagine how hard it is to look at them every day, and not think of you... I love you so much," she cried, soaking her kimono with tears. "Don't cry, Kagome, I hate it when you cry," he held her, and comforted her, then Ari and Mina walked back in, crying. They rushed to Kagome. "Mom, we're so sorry!" they sobbed. Then, Mina looked up at her mother, and said, "Momma, please don't cry, I hate it when you cry," that made Inuyasha cry too, she was just like him. The three women cried together, then, they invited Inuyasha into their embrace, and the little, reunited family cried together.

Awww... don't ya just love reunions? they're so happy. :-)
