For those who requested knowing what Inuyasha's daughters name means:
Aiko- Little loved one(This because all of Kagome's family loves this little girl)
Gina-Gold(This because of the golden eyes she got from Inuyasha)
Kin-Silver(This because of the silver hair she got from Inuyasha)
Okay, as much as I love all of your reviews, if I were to thank each of you indivigually again, it would take me another day or two to get around to typing all of that, so i'm going to skip it this time. And from now on, I'll only do that when someone gives me a reviewI can really respojnd to, some thing more involved than 'update'.
Thankyou everyone that reviewed, and everyone that continued to badger me about updating!!!
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled loudly as he ran toward her, while she was still naked in the lake no less!
And she couldn't even tell him to sit!
"Inuyasha, no-"
"Who is this?!" He had come right up to her, not at all caring that she was unclothed. He had grabbed one of her arms to keep her from getting away from him, and in his other hand, he held a picture. A picture of Aiko....
"Inuyasha, I can explain...." She said nervously.
"I'm waiting!" Inuyasha snarled, he must have already put two and two together. "Why does this pup look like me?!"
"She... she's your daughter..."
He grabed her arms with both his hands now, and gave her a shake. "Why didn't you ever tell me?!"
Kagome had been scared, but him asking that questioned triggered something, and she suddenly felt as angery at him as he was with her. "Because, by the time I realized it, I though you'd already gone to Hell with that stupid clay pot!"
That comment really got to him, and he let go her, and looked downward. It was then that he seemed to notice something, and then picked up one her arms. "What happened to your arm?" He asked gently, running his clawed finger over the scars on her arm.
"That's why I'm here..." she sighed. Your daughter went balistic when some thung tried to mug me. I had to calm her down beforee she really hurt anyone.... my miko powers managed to make her pass out, but she needs something that can keep her demon side in check. I was going to find Totosei, and see if he could make something for her."
Inuyasha paused for a moment, then looked at her again. "... Um... What's her name?"
"Aiko Ginakin Higurashi." Kagome said proudly.
Inuyasha seemed to almost smile in recognition of the girls meaningful middle name, then turned away from Kagome. "I'm sorry I barged in on you..." He got her her clothes, and handed them to her. She quickly dressed, and desided to go sit down with him, so they could talk, she could tell that he needed to.
"Would you like to meet her?" Kagome asked softly.
Inuyasha looked at her, and nodded. "Yeah... I would..."
"She's really just like you,"Kagome mused, "just more innocent and gentle... unless you get on her bad side, then she'll tear your head off... or at least manage to give you a throbbing headache." Inuyasha Smirked, though sadly it seemed. "That's my girl..."
"I'm sorry this happened Inuyasha, I really am." Kagome said quietly. "But I've tried to tell her everything about you that I could, all of the good things anyway... She's seen pictures of you, and she always asks to hear stories about you at bedtime."
"Come on." Inuyasha said, and stood up. "We should get going. Now that I know WHERE we're going, I can take the shortcut, it'll take at least two days off the trip. You'll just have to hop onto my back, or knowing the shortcut, and taking that route really wouldn't help any. So climb on."
Kagome did as she was told, and climbed onto his back. She felt like she and Inuyasha were even further apart though, he was upset, and all because of the mistake she had made. He had missed out on knowing his little girl, and nothing she could do or say would ever change that.
Inuyasha Couldn't belive he had a daughter. While taking his shortcut, he kept glancing at the picture of her. She did look liker him... She had his hair, his eyes... and his ears. The ears that had marked them both as Hanyous... She was obviously a happy little girl, her giant smile in the picture testified to that. She most likely had to wear a hat whenever she lef the shrine, like he had had to to when he left the Shrine.
He shouldn't have so surprised when he found out, Kagome had been in heat when they had mated, it was why they had mated really.... He had been too weak, and given into his desire for her.
Kagome had told her about things she'd gone throguh since she left, getting a job and everything, but he had never thought of her doing all that, and raising a Hanyou daughter. It must have been so hard, and all because she had caught him with Kikyou. He couldn't really blame Kagome for jumping to conclusions, given everything that had happened between himself and Kikyou... It was his fault anyway, he enever should have touched her like that, taken away her innocence...
He'd soiled her, and nothing could change that. Hell, that's what she should have been mad at him for. She should have been glad if she had thought he wanted to leave her...
Kagome stayed quiet as he ran, she must know he was thinking...
She had told him she loved him, that night he took her, but he still shouldn't have taken her. She may have been considered an adult iin his time, but he had learned enough about her time to realize girls her age weren't adults yet. Somehow adulthood had gotten pushed back a few years, so Kagome was still just a kid, she couldn't have made such a big desistion, to choose a mate at her age. She could now, she'd been working, she had real responsibilities, she had obviously grwon up. Now she could make a decision, and she wanted to see if she still had some kind of crush on him like she had three yeasrs prior.
He wasn't sure of what to do. His daughter would be happy with Kagome, he didn't think he'd really be needed. A Hanyou in Kagome's time would have no trouble taking care of herself. And Kagome... he just didn't know if he should think about with her, he shouldn't bring her down to his pathetic level. He wanted her, and his daughter, he probably needed them more than they could ever need him.
He knew what he had to do, he had to let Kagome decide if she really watned to be with him. If she really did love him as she had claimed three years ago, then he wouldn't complain. And if she decided she didn't, things would probably just go back to the way they had been.
Inuyasha had Kagome wait outside of Totosei's hut, it was hotter inside than it was outside. Totosei had just yanked Inuyasha's fangs, there wouldn't be enough for a full fledged sword, but Totosei could still just make a dagger with it for now. Inuyasha had made good time getting here, and if he gave Kagome a ride the rest of the way back, then he could get them back to the village tomarrow, or sooner.
The dagger wouldn't be ready for a few days, so Totosei said he would bring it to Inuyasha once it was. Then all He and Kagome would have to do, was get it to Aiko.
He was nervous, Kagome said as soon as they got back, they could go to her time. Then he would meet his daughter.
Why is it that the thought of meeting one little girl had him more nervous than the thought of battling with Sesshourmaru, or even Naraku?
He was just going to have to get over it, as nervous about it as he was, it didn't make him not want to go. He wanted to see his daughter, and hopefully, she would be happy about seeing him.
