Chapter 4

It was eleven thirty-five in the afternoon. Miroku and Shippo were watching TV, Kagome and her mother were cooking, and Inuyasha was playing cards with Sango and Mirror. He was getting his tail whipped too. Mirror and Sango just happened to be better at playing Mow then he was which made no sense whatsoever.

"What do you mean penalty? I didn't get one last game!" he exclaimed, glaring at Sango. Miroku gave him a look, telling him to shut up.

"That's because there wasn't a rule on that card last game, but I made one," she replied simply, smiling at him. "That's how the game is played Inuyasha, if you win a game, you make a new rule."

"That is so not fair!" he said, sulking. He picked up his cards, looking at Mirror. "I can't believe I agreed to play this with you," he grumbled.

The doorbell rang and Mirror stood up, "Be right back, that's probably Raye." She walked to the door, opening it. "Hey!" she said, hugging her best friend.

"Hey girl, long time no see," Raye said, smiling. "So, where's this father I won't believe?" she asked, laughing.

"In the living room waiting on me to get back to whoop him at cards again. Come on."

Mirror walked into the other room, smiling. "Dad, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, this is my friend Raye. Raye, meet my dad and his friends."

"Oh my god, this is AWESOME!" Raye squealed, running over to Inuyasha and grabbing his ears.

"Hey, let go!" he said, swatting at her hands. He sighed, crossing his arms over his chest while the insufferable girl rubbed his ears.

"They're real," she whispered, stepping back. She looked at Mirror, cocking her head to one side. "So he's your dad?"

Mirror nodded, sitting down by Shippo and grabbing the remote off the coffee table. "Raye, the show's about to start," she said, changing the channel.

"Hey, we were watching-" Shippo protested, stopping when he saw what was on the channel. "Look Inuyasha," he whispered, pointing. There was an animated show on, one with demons and slayers.

Inuyasha sat, watching for a few seconds before looking at his daughter, "Do you always watch this?" When all he got out of her was a small nod, he sighed, sitting back and watching. "This is so wrong."

"Lunch is ready," Kagome called, standing in the doorway, smiling. "Hello Raye."

"Hello Kagome," Raye replied, stretching. Inuyasha stood, hugging Kagome quickly and giving her a light kiss. "Man Mirror, your dad and your mom sure are still hot for each other."

"Raye!" Mirror hit her over the head with a pillow, sighing. "They haven't seen each other in ages, and the last time they did they fought, so there's bound to be pent up longing," she said, smiling as her mother walked into the dining room with her father.

"Well I think it's cute. I've never seen your mother so happy," Raye said, standing. "Now come on! I'm starved."

"Yeah, whatever." Mirror looked at Shippo who was still sitting in the same place. "Come on Shippo, let's eat," she said, smiling.

He looked at her, blushing slightly, "Alright Mirror," he said, following her to the dining room where everyone else was.

Mirror sat on the back porch, looking out at the sky. It was later that evening and Raye had talked her mom into letting her stay the night, she was inside doing dishes with Shippo.

There was a movement a ways off and two dark figures appeared on the bridge that was over the small pond on the property. Mirror squinted, just barely able to make out her father's ears and his and her mothers outfits. What were they up to?

Mirror slid down onto the ground, running lightly across the lawn until she was behind some bushes, just close enough to make out what they were saying. "I missed you Inuyasha," her mother said softly.

"I missed you too," he replied, taking her hands. They kissed and he smiled, "Tomorrow, let's go out together, just you and me," he whispered, wrapping his arms around Kagome.

"Alright," she replied, laying her head on his shoulder. Mirror fumed behind the bush. He'd forgotten. How could he have forgotten?

Earlier that day------

"Hey dad," Mirror said, leaning on the back of the couch. He looked up and she smiled. "Tomorrow, could you take Raye and me to the comic store? Please?" he nodded. "And after that, could we just hang out, you know me and you?"

"Of course, I promise," he said, ruffling her hair affectionately.

"Thanks," she said, hugging him and kissing his cheek. "I love you dad."

Back to present------

Mirror stood, running back to the house, causing her father to start, looking at where she'd been. "What is it?" Kagome asked, looking at him curiously.

"I don't know, it was probably just a squirrel or something," he replied, shrugging. He kissed Kagome softly, taking her hand again.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. He held he close, telling her it was alright.

Mirror was in her room, the door locked and her music blaring. She grabbed her pocketknife from her dresser, walking over to the window. She looked out, pressing her hand against the glass, watching her mother and father. "Bye dad. I wish I'd never met you," she whispered, opening the knife and drawing it across her wrist. She smiled, repeating the process on the other wrist, kneeling so she wouldn't hurt herself when she fell. She wanted to die as slowly as possible. Let him know how much that one thing had hurt her.

Shippo's ears perked at the sound. He gently gave the last plate to Raye, walking slowly to the stairs. "Mirror," he called, slowly climbing the staircase. He walked to her door, turning the knob. "Huh? It's locked? Mirror!" he beat his fists on the door, growling in frustration.

She looked back at the door, laughing softly. "It's ok Shippo, I'm just, messing around, I'm ok," she said, sweetening her voice as much as she could. She'd forgotten about Shippo.

He flooded her mind then, his face, that cute way he blushed every time she talked to him. His voice, she cringed, her father was outside the door. "Mirror, open up this goddamned door now!" he said, banging his fist on the frame.

"I can't," she said, laughing softly. She fell forwards, catching herself with her hand.

"Here Inuyasha, here's the key," she heard her grandmother's voice. Keys jingled and the lock clicked.

"Damn them," she whispered, glaring at the door. Shippo ran in, pushing past her father who had this horrified look on his face. "Go ahead dad, look scared," she laughed, smiling wickedly. "It's almost over, and it's all your fault. Don't you feel special?"

She fell back into Shippo's arms, smiling at him. "M-Mirror," he whispered, looking at her, tears sliding down his cheeks.

"Shhh, Shippo, it's ok," she reached up and touched his cheek. "I want this," she whispered, her eyes half closed.

"No. No Mirror, I won't let you go," he said, ripping the sleeves of his shirt off and wrapping them around her wrist.

Kagome was in the room now, sitting by Shippo while Inuyasha stood in the door, watching. "I called an ambulance Shippo, they'll take care of her," she whispered, placing a hand on his shoulder.

He looked at Kagome, hugging her, sobbing. "Why did she do this?" he asked, shaking.

"I don't know, that's something we'll have to ask her," she said, looking up as Inuyasha moved out of the way for the medics who had arrived to come in, taking Mirror out to the ambulance. "Come on Shippo; let's go get you in an outfit that won't be so noticed and we'll go wait at the hospital. Ok?"

He nodded and Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, "Are you coming?" He shook his head no, looking out the window.

"I need some time to think. Kagome, she said it was my fault," he said, pain in his voice. She looked at him, shocked. Maybe she needed to have a talk with her daughter.

Well, that's all for chapter 4, it's longer, and I told you it's be weird!
