Chapter 3

Kagome stood when Inuyasha walked inside the house, Mirror asleep on his back. "Inuyasha," she whispered, hugging him, tears stinging her eyes. "Why did we ever do this?" she asked, looking at him.

He gently hugged her with one arm, kissing her softly. "We did it because we loved each other, and we loved Mirror. That's why, and I think it was a mistake Kagome. I think we should have both been in her life," he whispered, looking back at her. "Maybe we should start over, as a family," he added, looking away for fear of her disliking the idea.

She placed her hand on his shoulder, smiling. "I think that would be a great idea Inuyasha, but where will we live?"

"Here, this is where she grew up, so here is where she'll stay."

Mirror woke up the next morning lying in her bed, the blankets drawn up comfortingly around her. She looked out the window, wondering if last night had just been a dream or if she'd really done and seen all those things, if she'd really met her father.

She stood, stretching and walking to her suitcase, opening it and pulling out a pair of loose silvery grey pants and a black tank top. She quickly changed, pulling on a blue hoodie over the shirt. She headed downstairs, walking past the living room to the kitchen. She heard a noise and walked backwards slowly, peering into the living room where Shippo had fallen off the couch. "Ohh…my head," he muttered, rubbing it.

"Hey, she whispered, putting her finger over her lips and pointing upstairs where everyone else was asleep, or so she assumed. She smiled, walking into the living room and sitting on the arm of the couch as Shippo got up. "Morning," she laughed softly, smiling.

"Morning. Do you always get up this early?" he asked, looking at her. Time had done well for Shippo, he was just as tall as Inuyasha and he'd actually gotten quite cute (I can just imagine! I've always loved Shippo).

Mirror nodded smiling as he sat close to her. She flicked one of his ears, smiling. "Did that hurt?" He nodded and she smiling, "Sorry, want me to kiss it and make it better?"

Shippo just looked at her, shocked when she leaned over, grabbing his head gently and kissing his ear. "Mirror!" she heard her father's voice behind her and groaned.

"One night of being a father and already he's more protective than mom," she muttered, turning to look at her father who was standing in the living room door, shirtless. "Sheesh dad, it's not like I'm doing anything. I hurt his ear, so I kissed it, no big."

"No big? That is not something you should be doing young lady!" he said, growling slightly.

"Mom wouldn't mind," she said, raising her eyebrow. She hoped this worked. Shippo looked at her curiously, she was definitely back talking her father, which was something Shippo would never have the nerve to do.

"Alright then, but this had best be the only time," he said, sighing. "When's breakfast?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"Why don't you go wake mom up and ask, she normally does the cooking," Mirror replied, settling back against the couch. Inuyasha nodded, walking back to the stairs.

"KAGOME!" he yelled, causing Mirror and Shippo to cover their ears. She heard the muffled pounding of his feet sighed.

She looked over at Shippo and smiled, leaning towards him. "You're cute," she said, touching his nose lightly as he blushed. She laughed and stood up, walking out of the room. "I'm going jogging, see you later!"

Shippo sighed, trying to calm down. That had been interesting, he might just like Inuyasha's daughter.

Mirror jogged down the street, waving at people. She heard the musical ring of her cell phone and pulled it out of her pocket, answering it. "Hello. Oh, hi Raye, yeah I called last night. You won't believe what happened. I met my dad. You'd flip if you saw him. He had some friends with him. Oh, sure, I guess you can come over for lunch, and then we can go to the mall. Ok, see you then," she hung up, turning around. She needed to head back.

She walked through the door only to hear yelling from the dining room. "I'm back!" she said, walking through the door.

"Where were you?" Inuyasha asked, looking at her sternly.

"I went on my morning jog, I do it every day. I'm sixteen dad, get used to it," she said, sitting across from Shippo, smiling at him.

Kagome laughed, smiling at her daughter. "Did Raye get a hold of you?" she asked.

Mirror nodded, taking a sip of her water. "Yeah, she's coming over for lunch." Mirror watched as her father looked at her mother who shrugged. "She won't care dad, Raye's all into this sort of stuff. Honestly, she spends more time playing video games then I do."

"Huh?" Inuyasha said, looking at his daughter.

"Never mind dad, nevermind."

Well, this chapter is a little longer, and I think Mirror and Shippo might just have a fling, but It's kind of lame! Sorry!
