Musume no Shorai – Chapter 3
"Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi put her hand on Kagome's shoulder. "the policed officer would like to ask you some questions."
Kagome nodded slightly dazed. She was sitting at the table, her hands on her lap, where she had talked to Sachi just a few hours earlier.
"Miss Higurashi, did you get into any kind of argument before you're daughter disappeared?" The officer asked routinely. Kagome shook her head.
"Did you're daughter have any enemies, or someone who might want to harm her in any way?"
"She's not that popular at school," Kagome said, thinking about her daughter's hot temper. "but I don't think anyone would do anything like kidnapping her."
"Would you're daughter have any reason to run away?" That struck Kagome hard. Was there a reason?
"N-no." Kagome chocked. The officer nodded.
"Thank you officer." Mrs. Higurashi bowed slightly. The officer just nodded again and showed himself to the door.
"Mom, you don't think-"
"No dear, Sachi wouldn't just run off like that." Kagome sighed and nodded grimly.
"Kagome..." Mrs. Higurashi thought for a moment. "What about... the well?"
Inuyasha looked at Sachi, waiting for some kind of reaction. Sachi just stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Wh- what?" Sachi asked, a little uncertain of what she heard.
"I'm... you're father." Some how, at least to Inuyasha, saying that, made him feel better. But at the same time, he felt guilty.
His fifteen-year old daughter stood before him, Inuyasha thought she was beautiful. Was that how a father was supposed to feel when looking at his child? But it also made him realize, he had left this child, and the mother of his child, a lone for fifteen years, while he was in the past.
He hadn't even thought of that until now. Inuyasha waited for Sachi to start yelling at him, she probably had years of anger built up in her conscious. But instead, Sachi hugged him.
"Sachi?" Inuyasha asked, unsure of what she was doing. Sachi started shaking.
"You... you don't know how much... I've wanted to hug you..." Sachi sobbed.
Inuyasha blinked, but with one hand, stroked Sachi's back while she cried silently.
"Aw... aren't they cute?" Miroku whispered quietly to Sango and Shippo.
"Yeah, and look, she's not mad at all." Shippo commented.
"Of course not, she's probably just wanted her father since she was a little girl." Sango defended, Miroku and Shippo nodded in agreement. It was no secret, Sango probably knew more than the rest of them, out of the present group, how Sachi felt.
"And you three are...?" The three snapped to attention, looking at the owner of the voice, Inuyasha, looking very pissed off. Sachi stood behind him, blinking.
"Um..." Miroku pondered for a moment of the best way to get out of this most hopeless situation, but Shippo and Sango took off, leaving poor Miroku to deal with Inuyasha's rage a lone.
"Well?" Inuyasha snapped impatiently.
"I um... That is to say..." Inuyasha grabbed Miroku by the collar, and started to bonk Miroku on the head several times. Sachi couldn't help but laugh.
After being hit some many times, Miroku was finally knocked out.
"He's going to be okay... Right?" Sachi asked, staring down at the unconscious monk.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"He'll live." Inuyasha said, but it sounded more like a guess of little importance.
"It's getting late.." Inuyasha looked over at Sachi. Her gaze was on the well.
"You should go back, I'm sure you're mother's worried about you." Inuyasha stated.
"She's probably mad at me." Sachi sighed. "I don't want to go back."
"You have to." Inuyasha pressed, Sachi sighed again.
"... can you come back with me?" Inuyasha was startled by Sachi's request.
"Why?" Inuyasha asked, Kagome couldn't be that mad... Could she?
"I wasn't supposed to be near the well house, let a lone in it. But.. I wanted to see what was so special about it."
"Hm..." Inuyasha paused. Sachi looked at him, waiting for an answer, hoping for a yes.
"No." Sachi looked at the ground.
"Alright."
"But..." Sachi looked back up, blinking. Inuyasha had a mysterious smile on his face.
"You could stay here..." Inuyasha stroked his chin. Sachi gabbed at her father.
"Are you series?" Sachi was surprised, but a happy kind of surprised. Inuyasha nodded, and Sachi flung her arms around his neck in a hug.
"You are the coolest dad ever!" Sachi praised when she released him. Inuyasha smiled, he liked the idea of being the 'coolest dad ever.'
"Inuyasha, sit!" The dog demon fell to the ground with a loud and painful thud. Sachi looked down at him and blinked.
Sachi looked back over to the well, where the voice had appeared.
"Mom?!" Sachi asked, blinking in surprise at her mother, who had pulled herself up and looked over at them, an unset expression on her face. Inuyasha pushed himself up painfully.
"Kagome?!"
"Inuyasha..." Kagome growled, shaking, glaring at him.
