"Uncle Inuyasha!" she cried and threw her arms around his waist. Inuyasha smiled down at her, picked her up, and threw her into the air causing the girl to squeal. He tucked the little girl under his arm and walked into the house, the girl squealing the whole way. Songo came out of the kitchen and smiled at Inuyasha before walking up and kissing him on the cheek.
"Hello," she said. Inuyasha set Aiko down and the girl ran into the kitchen after her mother.
"Do you need any help?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, I was about to cut the onions, I didn't think you would want to be in here for that," she said smiling at him and Inuyasha smiled in thanks and left the room.
Inuyasha walked into the living room and to the mantle piece where several picture's of Songo's family stood and he smiled to see that he was in four of the seven.
"Hey mom?" Songo's eighteen-year-old daughter, Kumiko called, walking into the house.
"What honey?" Songo called back.
"I brought a friend over for dinner, is that ok?"
"That's fine." The girl walked past the living room and grinned when she saw Inuyasha.
"Uncle Inuyasha!" she cried. Inuyasha turned a smile on his face but froze when he saw Kumiko's friend.
"This can not be happening," he thought. "I left her years ago."
"Inuyasha?"
"Kagome," he whispered. Kumiko looked between the two, confused. Kagome walked up to him, anger in every movement.
"What are you doing here?" she snarled. Inuyasha just stared at her, it was Kagome, her scent was the exact same. There was a loud "slap" and Kumiko stared at Kagome shocked.
"Kagome!" she cried and moved towards her "uncle" who was moving his head back slowly from the side.
"It's ok Kumiko, I deserved that. Songo," he said looking up at the older woman. "Can we use the study; I need to talk to Kagome alone."
"Kagome?" Songo asked, and Kagome turned to look at Songo confused. Songo looked at Inuyasha, saw the pain in his eyes, and knew this was his Kagome that he had told her about. "Of course."
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm and led her down the hall to the study, all the while Kagome glaring at him. He pushed her inside and closed the door behind them. Inuyasha stood staring at her, he had missed her so much and he had to resist the urge to touch her.
"What are you doing here Inuyasha?" she asked, folding her arms.
"It's not what you think," he said rubbing a hand over his eyes.
"I left you in Sengoku Jidai two weeks ago, why are you here and why are you wearing those clothes?"
"Because I'm not the Inuyasha you left in Sengoku Jidai." Kagome looked at him skeptically. "I'll give you the short version, I made you leave, keeping the Shiko no Tama so you could not return and have been alive since."
"You've been alive for… 500 years?" Kagome asked sarcastically.
"Yes."
"And I see you used the jewel to become human." Inuyasha could hear her doubt above the anger and hurt. He sighed and let the spell that protected his identity drop for a moment.
"No, I have not, I still have the jewel in my possession though." Kagome stared hard at him for a long time.
"Who was that woman you called Songo?" she finally asked. Inuyasha stared at her for a moment.
"That is Songo and Miroku's descendent, I've kept in touch with them over the years." Kagome stared at him for a few moments then pushed past him and after a moment, Inuyasha followed, walking to the door. "Songo I need to go, I'll see you tomorrow night," he said kissing her on the cheek, waiving to her two daughters and spared a glance at Kagome before walking out of the house and down the street.
