Chapter 8: Innocence

It was Suteki's second day and already Kagome had a problem with the teacher…. But this time it was personal.

"Good Morning Suteki," she greeted her daughter. "Good morning Kagome" she greeted her.

"Miss Sango may I have a word with you?"

Sango looked at her knowingly. Inu Yasha had scared Suteki the other day. But she doubted that Suteki saw them.

"Yes, actually Kagome, I wanted to speak with you as well… is lunch time good for you?"

No… thought Kagome I want to get this over with now…

"Sure."

Inu Yasha had a wonderful morning.

The sun was shining and the birds were singing…

Yah right….

His morning couldn't be any worse… he got caught in one long business meeting and he was bored to the core. But he knew that he had to stay on his toes. Kouga was there. He was the CEO of Wolfe Industries, the same company that had been trying to take over his sect of Taishou Inc. He knew that Inu Yasha was a terrible leader unlike his brother Sesshomaru, who owned the western sect of Taishou Inc. The only REAL reason the Taishou name was still standing in Eastern New York was because of Inu Yasha's business partner Miroku Houshi—who conveniently decided to get sick that day.

Probably got knocked up and was too whacked to get up… he grumbled….

Nonetheless, the business meeting went on. Stocks were dropping… blah, blah, blah. All he could think of was those eyes… those sneering eyes of Kouga Wolfe just waiting for his chance. Those eyes were scanning everything, searching for a weakness and every so often he would glance at Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha sneered; then Kouga chuckled making Inu Yasha sneer even more.

He was glad when he was finally let out on lunch break. Of course lunch was his favourite time of the day. As usual, he bought himself a Philly Cheese steak and headed to the Daycare. Which brought another thought into his mind…

Suteki


Kagome sat in the kitchen area of the Rainbow Daycare. Across from the table was Miss Sango, looking troubled. Kagome kept on her cool face.

"So…" Kagome weakly started.

"If this is about the other day, I apologize for Inu Yasha's behaviour—"

"What are your relations with him?" Kagome snapped. Sango looked stunned.

"Why… he's my cousin…" Sango said. Kagome sneered. She was a beautiful young woman. Long, dark brown hair she had, light brown eyes, silky skin.

And a VERY big ring on her wedding finger!

"LIAR!" kagome accused "you're engaged to him; don't think I don't see that ring!"

"This?" Sango asked, continuing what Kagome thought was an act. "It's from my fiancée, Miroku Houshi… see?" she leaned over the table to show Kagome the engraving on the ring: Sango and Miroku Houshi…

Kagome was dumbfounded…

Sango let out a light chuckle… "Don't worry Kagome, I get that a lot. But… to be honest ever since my brother Kohaku died… I feel more like a mother figure to Inu Yasha."

"Yeah..." Kagome sighed. "He can be so childish…" she shrugged.

It was Sango's turn to glare.

"Now, MY turn" she paused to take a breath.

"What are your relations with my cousin?"

"He's…" Kagome suddenly clamed up…

Sango's glare narrowed. "You've had a big impact on his life you know." Kagome looked up at Sango and her motherly glare. "I know Suteki is his daughter. And the other day, he learned this too. Personally, Ms. Higurashi, I find it very low of you to hide something like this from him…"

"Wait a minute Sango! He didn't want ANYTHING to do with—"

And that's when they heard a loud crash from the children's playroom…

"THE CHILDREN!" they exclaimed in unison.


The kids tackled him again, like little magnets to a fridge. He struggled to take off his shoe… the other was missing…

HEY! Those were EXPENSIVE!

Some blond-haired dude was waving it in the air.

"I won't give it back to you until you tell us the story of how the Dog Demon slayed the psycho demon, Naraku!"

"okay, okay…" he sighed as he slowly peeled off the kids from him. "I was going to tell you that one anyway. You didn't need to steal my expensive shoes for it…"

"Okay… so it went like this…"

This story was an old one. Inu Yasha had told it several times times to the kids… but it was a classic… halfway though, some kid decided to throw a beanbag at him. He looked for the culprit and saw that it was Suteki.

"I AM THE EVIL NARAKU!" she huffed. All the kids ran away in mock fear. Inu Yasha laughed and began to noogie her mercilessly, forgetting for a moment that just the other day, he made this girl cry; forgetting that just the other day he learned this was his daughter; forgetting that it was this girl that haunted his dreams.

They rolled around on the mattress. She was a fighter. Many times she was able to get on top of him giving him the noogies. Blocks tumbled and chairs fell on their side. Whole Lego© houses were massacred in the fierce battle of the Noogies. When they were both tired they lay calm on the edge of the mattress in the reading corner.

"Mister Inu Yasha…" she asked.

"yes, Suteki?"

"I don't have a father…" She said looking at him with those big eyes. Inu Yasha looked away. I know... He thought

"Will YOU be my Daddy?"

Inu Yasha turned to her and gaped. Those big eyes began to water… again…

If only it was that easy…

NOOO! Kagome internally screamed NO! NONONONONO!

This was not happening… the one man who betrayed Suteki … and she was…NO!

Kagome looked at Sango quickly and sarcastically thanked her for the talk. But now, it was time for her and Suteki to leave. They'd find some other daycare and things will be better there. NO MORE INU YASHA AND HIS LIES!

"Suteki!" she called. "It's time to go."

"But mommie!" she whined, "Why?" she asked. Kagome searched for a reason.

"Because… I'm taking you out for Bubble Tea…" Suteki's eyes lit up and she ran to her mother's arms. Kagome didn't even bother looking at the man who just manipulated her daughter.

"Can Mister Inu Yasha come?" she asked innocently. Kagome stiffened.

"Get in the car." Kagome shoved her along not caring as she tripped down a step. All she cared about was getting away from here.

Sango watched from a window waving along with the other children good bye to their bright-eyed friend.

Inu Yasha sat in the Reading Corner, his head buried in his hands…
