Chapter 2

Mirror looked at Inuyasha, taking a step forward. She looked at him curiously, taking in his long, silvery white hair and his golden eyes. Eyes that looked so much like hers. She looked at the others, her eyes lingering over each of them for a few seconds, just long enough for her to take in their appearance. "Well?"

"Mirror, these are some old friends of mine," Kagome replied, smiling at her daughter. Miroku and Sango helped Inuyasha up, looking at him curiously.

"Why don't you introduce us then mother?" she asked, cocking her head to one side. She was at the bottom of the stairs now, and you could see she was just barely taller than her mother.

"Yes, well, Mirror, this is my friend Sango," she said, pointing her out. Sango waved and Kagome continued, "And Miroku," he bowed and Mirror nodded to him. "And these two are Shippo," she pointed, "And Inuyasha," she graced him with a mere look and Mirror smiled.

"Nice to meet you all," she said, smiling.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, taking a step forward. "Kagome, you didn't introduce me properly. I think it's time you told her." He raised his eyebrows, smiling at his daughter, knowing that if she were anything like him, she'd be curious.

"What does he mean? Tell me what?" she asked, just as he'd hoped.

"It's nothing Mirror, nothing at all," Kagome said, glaring nails at Inuyasha.

"Mother, if it was nothing, he wouldn't have brought it up, now tell me!" Mirror demanded, screaming.

"That girl has a set of pipes," Shippo whispered to Miroku, smiling.

"Just like her father," he replied, laughing softly.

"Alright, I'll tell her. Mirror, Inuyasha is your father," Kagome said, looking defeated. Her daughter looked at her with an expression of anger and amazement.

"My, my father…he's my…?" Mirror ran, straight out the open front door and down the street, as fast as her feet could carry her.

"MIRROR!" Kagome yelled, standing in the open doorway, watching as she raced down the block, turning the corner.

"Move it, I'll go get her," Inuyasha said, pushing his way past Kagome.

"But-" Kagome protested, making Inuyasha stop in his tracks in the walkway.

"Kagome," he said, turning to face her, "Let's face it, she's my child too. I need to have some part in her life."

She nodded, watching him leave. "Just bring her back safe," she whispered, closing the door.

Inuyasha sighed. He'd been looking for Mirror for a good two hours and still hadn't found her yet. "Where on earth could she be?" he asked himself, turning yet another corner.

There was a park lit by many lamps, and a single person sat in the swings, watching the night sky. As Inuyasha drew closer to her he realized it was Mirror. He walked to the swing beside her, sitting down. "Hey," he whispered, smiling.

She looked at him questioningly. "Why didn't you ever visit? Why didn't she tell me?" she asked, her voice hoarse, there were tear streaks on her face.

"You're mother and I are from different times, I'm from the past, she's from the present. I'm also a half demon. When you were born, your mother decided it would be better for you to be raised here, and that I shouldn't be a part of your life.

"When you were younger I used to sneak over to this time and watch you from a distance, always watching, never interfering. I watched your mother too, watched as she grew lonelier and lonelier, watched as you comforted her. She caught me one day, you were both here, in fact, you were at this very park, and she caught me watching you. We had a fight and she told me to never come back, never to even try to see you again, so I obeyed, you were so little, I didn't think it was right for you to be without a father but, she didn't want me around, so I left. After that, I slipped away from myself, I didn't eat, or sleep, or go anywhere. As for why she never told you, I guess she didn't want you to try and find me. The only reason I came was because Sango asked me to, she and Miroku and Shippo have been taking care of me for a while."

Mirror nodded, looking at the ground. "So, was it you, that day when I fell off the slide? Was it you who caught me? Were you the man in red with the cap and sunglasses?"

"Yes, I saw you slip and noticed your mother wasn't watching, I wasn't about to let you fall. That was the day she caught me too."

"I'm sorry," Mirror whispered, throwing her arms around his neck. "I'm sorry I came between you and mom." She was crying again.

"You didn't. Nothing did, we just, did what we thought was best," he said, wiping her tears carefully. "Come on, let's go home."

She nodded, standing. "It's fasted this way," he said, picking her up and running home.

That's all, I know it sucks!
