Chapter Seven—Daddy?
The little girl rose from where she was sitting next to her mother and walked over to stand before Inuyasha.
"Daddy….." She said again.
'A daughter…My daughter…..' he said as he bent down to hold her.
But when the hanyou bent down before the girl and held his arms out for her a look of terror clouded her golden eyes.
'Fear….why…why is she afraid of me….I mean I'm her father aren't I?' he couldn't understand why.
"Wha…Where am I" Kagome said stirring from her sleep.
"Mommy…?" Sakura said running back to her mothers' side.
"Sakura…?" She said holding the child to her chest.
"Mommy, why is daddy here….is he all better again…" she said turning to the group behind them.
"What do you mean….he can't be…?" She said as she lifted her head to look at the group…
"This…this is impossible…..How…how are you here…" she said shaking her head to see if it all was an allusion….
"Kagome…" shippo said in caution….
"Shippo…..? Is that really you….?" She said slowly approaching them.
"Yea…it's us Kagome…" Sango said.
"I…I can't believe it!" Kagome said as she grabbed a hold of Shippo and gave him a hug. When she pulled away tears were slowly moving down her face. When she put Shippo down she looked over to the hanyou.
"Inu…yasha…." She said walking over to him as if afraid he was an illusion.
She stopped about 5 inches away from his face and slowly ran a finger down his cheek and whispered "It…it really is you…" And before Inuyasha had a chance to say anything in return she flung herself into his arms. "I can't believe it….I can't…..How I don't understand…"
"Mommy…?" the young girl said tugging on her mothers robes. "Who are all these people…and why is daddy here…….."
Wiping away the tears that fell from her eyes, Kagome kneeled down besides her daughter and said "Theses are some friends of mine that went away along time ago…"
"My lady…." One of Kagome's servants's said as they entered the garden…
"Sakura, why don't you go play with Iratomi for awhile."
"But…mommy I don't wanna go…"
"Please, Sakura."
"Yes mommy…" Sakura said defeated as she retreated to the servant that had come into the garden.
When Sakura was gone Kagome turned back to the group from the past and said "I don't understand. How are you all here…." She questioned
"Well…we don't know how either…We don't even know where we are…Last thing we remember was fighting one of Naraku's Incarnations…" Sango said
"What's happened Kagome…from the way your making it all sound its like were dead or something…" Shippo said taking his oh-so-famous spot on top of her shoulder.
Kagome, unable to answer that question, just looked down at the ground.
"We're dead in this time….aren't we Kagome…" Miroku asked.
"Not all of you." Kagome answered, but this time looking at Inuyasha. "A lot has changed….People have changed"
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said speaking up for the first time… "Where….where am I…? That girl…she called me….daddy….? What's happened?" He questioned dieing to know what in the world was going on.
"Like I said…a lot's changed Inuyasha….You've changed….." Kagome paused as if it was painful to keep going…
Taking a hold of her arm he said "Please Kagome…tell me..."
After taking a deep breath she lifted her head to look into his eyes and said "Inuyasha…In this time that girl is indeed your daughter, but she hasn't seen you in about 4 years"
"Why…If she's my daughter…shouldn't I be here…" the hanyou said confused.
"The reason she hasn't seen you Inuyasha…is because in this time you are also become a full demon…………."
