Finding My Father
Chapter Six: The Journey Continues
My feet hurt. The sun was bright and hot. It was too hot for even the mosquitoes to come out. "Mom"
"What?" "What?"
"Are we there yet?"
"No." "No." "No."
"Hey! You're not my mom!... How much further is it?" My moms shrugged.
"A day's journey, maybe two." responded Miroku.
"My feet hurt..." I whined.
Miroku paused and crouched down, "Just ride on my back, kid."
It was an attractive offer, so I took it. Wow! I could see the tops of everyone's heads, this was a completely awesome piggy-back ride. "You're cool, Miroku! I like you!" I announced.
"You're a pretty cool guy yourself, Miroku. Not many people, especially of your age are able to challenge Inuyasha and hold their own. You definetly take after Sesshomaru."
I smiled. This journey wasn't so bad after all. Maybe my moms didn't just tell me about my father because road trips are so much fun. It was cooler up here because there was a breeze.
"Mom, why do we have the same name? It's kinda confusing."
"Well..." started Kagome.
"We never actually thought you two would be in the same place at the same time." Sango finished for her.
"Did you name him after me?" asked Miroku.
"Yes." Kagome confirmed with a smile. She was walking a little bit more on her own, but she was still being supported by Sango as we walked.
"You see, Miroku," she was actually addressing me this time. "Miroku and I have a bond much like Sesshomaru and your mom have. When your mom found out that she was pregnant with you, she panicked and ran away from Sesshomaru. I knew how hard it would be for her to give birth to and raise a child all by herself, so I chose to live with her. Your mom knew very well what I was giving up so she let me name you as compensation. I gave you a very lovely name."
Both of my mothers were smiling fondly.
"Wow, I'm touched, Sango." He deccelarated to my moms' pace. Mom stiffened. "Will you bear my child, Sango?"
"HIRAIKOTSU!" she shouted, but she merely tapped him with it because she didn't want me to fall. "Remove your hand, or I will break it."
He retracted his hand and gave her an innocent look. He increased his speed again.
Mom chuckled. She really does look much happier than she has in a long time, even though she almost died.
She was gleeful. "Old habits die hard." She said.
