A/N: Yay! I'm so happy with all the reviews I got. Thank you all so much, they meant a great deal. Review replies will be at the end of chapter four. Another reason I'm so excited is because I got the new Harry Potter book, and I'm so ecstatic. Well here's chapter 3 when our favorite hanyou Inuyasha makes his long waited appearance. It will be divided into two parts, part one and two. In these two chapters (well mainly the last), the title, Love Does Cost Some Things meaning will be shown. I don't think anyone will be expecting this so I suppose it will be very surprising. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it!
When some thing is written like "...", it shows what the character is saying.
When written like '...', it shows what the character is pondering or in other words thinking. It may also be used to stress out a word. For example, "You baka, I 'do' want to go to the party!".
When words are written in italic as shown, it shows a flashback. In other words a thought of the past. It may be before hand noted with a :Flash Back: but furthermore may not.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Unforeseen Truths: Part One
Today was going to be her fourth day working at the Day Care Center. After the last couple of days she had grown accustomed to working there. She loved spending time with the kids; she really liked her boss, Ms. Tomeda, and most importantly Yuni.
She knew it was wrong to play favorites, but it was true, Yuni was one of things she looked forward to seeing when going to work. Over the past few days she had grown to like the girl and realized that she had grown rather protective of Yuni. Especially when it came to those three little girls messing with her. She noticed that Yuni didn't have many friends there and from what Ms. Tomeda told her, Yuni was the 'loner'. Explaining to her that she always kept quiet and only spoke when spoken to. She didn't see anything wrong with Yuni wanting to be by herself, but she thought it would be nice if Yuni could open up a little to the other children.
She sighed as she laid on her bed, looking towards the ceiling. Today was Friday, so after today she wasn't expected to be back at work until the next four days, since her only working days were Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. And she knew for a fact she was going to miss Yuni. She only had two classes today, and right after, headed straight home.
Kagome looked over to her digital clock to see that it was almost thirty minutes to three, and that she had to be at work early to help Ms. Tomeda with the kids. She yawned as she got up, and frowned when she heard her stomach growl. She woke up so late this morning that she didn't have time to eat breakfast, and when she arrived home from school, she was so tired that she fell asleep. She then sighed; she figured she'd just grab a bite to eat down stairs before heading out.
She walked over to her closet to find something to wear. She always came to work straight from school wearing her casual, and in her opinion 'too' casual clothes, that she just threw on every morning on her way to school. So she thought today she would at least wear something decent.
She smiled when she saw the perfect outfit. It was a yellow skirt that flared out and was about two inches above her knees, and matching yellow sleeveless shirt that had a U neck. She then decided she'd wear her white button up sweater in case it got chilly. After putting it on, she went to the mirror and decided to leave her hair down instead of her usual ponytail. She then looked her self up and down before smiling. Now all she'd need were her white tennis shoes and she'd be set.
She walked over to her closet and searched for her shoes, she frowned when she couldn't find them. "Where are they?" she wondered, as she put her finger on her chin in thought. Her eyes then widened when she realized that she left them down stairs. She grabbed her sweater before heading down the steps.
"Mom!" Kagome yelled, as she headed towards the kitchen where her mother was. "Do you know where my tennis shoes are? There not by the door."
Mrs. Higurashi looked up as she watched her daughter walk in, "Which ones?"
"The whites ones that I bought last month with my birthday money." Kagome said, as she looked under the table to only see her dog, Yuugo.
"Oh, I left them in the closet where we put the coats and jackets." Kagome's mom answered, as she stirred up the contents in her pot.
Kagome looked over her mom's shoulder, "What are you cooking that smells so good?" Kagome questioned.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled, "Oh just some soup for Souta. He wasn't feeling that good this morning, but he insisted on going to school."
"Oh that reminds me," Kagome said. "Tell Mr. Hot Shot to stay out of my room. I know he's been snooping through there while I'm at the Day Care Center."
Mrs. Higurashi smiled, "What makes you think it's Souta, it could be Buyo or Yuugo for all you know."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Mom please, I doubt Yuu or Buyo are capable of writing on my mirror, with your lipstick may I add, Kagome loves Hojo."
Her mom laughed, "I suppose not."
"If he loved me as much as he used to, he'd have the decency to write Hojo loves Kagome, not Kagome loves Hojo. Cause Kami knows I don't" Kagome muttered, as she walked out of the kitchen to get her shoes.
Mrs. Higurashi sighed, "Now Kagome he's not that bad. He did give you Yuugo." she said, as she watched her daughter walk back in with her shoes in hand.
Kagome frowned as she spared a glance at her dog, "No mom, don't get me wrong, I don't hate Hojo or anything, he's okay. Besides, out of all the gifts he's given me since he's known me, Yuugo is the only half decent thing." she said, as she kneeled down to rub the back of her dog's ear. Her dog growled at her.
She smiled, "C'mon Yuu, I was only joking," she laughed, as she planted a kiss on his nose. She then got up and walked towards her mother, "Well, I'm on my way to work." Kagome said, as she stuck her finger into the pot, to have it smacked away by her mom's hand.
Her mom frowned, "Kagome." she said warningly.
Kagome smiled, "Sorry mom."
"Oh," Mrs. Higurashi gasped. "I need you to go get my clothes from the dry cleaners, I'll be tied up all day with errands and house work that I won't have time to go there. So please don't forget, I need that outfit since we're going to be going to be visiting your uncle's house tomorrow."
Kagome nodded, "Sure mom, I'll get it on my way home." she said. "Where's the-"
"On the table." her mother answered, as she opened the fridge.
Kagome grabbed the receipt, "I'm staying down at the day care center until closing time today since it's Friday, so I'll see you around dinner time." she said over her shoulder, as she headed out of the kitchen.
"Have fun dear." Mrs. Higurashi yelled.
"I will." Kagome answered, as she put on her shoes and grabbed her wallet, stuffing it into the pockets of her sweater.
"Well, here's to another day." Kagome sighed, as she headed out the door, not knowing what today had in store.
Kagome squeaked when she was met with a leg-crushing hug, literally. She looked down to see Yuni smiling up at her with her small arms around her legs.
"Hi Gome." Yuni smiled.
Kagome smiled in return, "Hey Yuni." she looked around. "Where's Ms. Tomeda?"
Yuni grinned, "She in the kitchen with Ms. Val."
Kagome frowned, "What? Why is Valery here?" Kagome questioned, as she watched Yuni shrug. "Well how about you go play with the others while I go talk to Ms. Tomeda."
Yuni pouted but did as she asked and ran off towards the other kids.
Kagome sighed; she was confused as to why Valery was here. She had met Valery last Wednesday when she came to work. She was Ms. Tomeda's other assistant that came every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. For the short time she has known her, she realized that Valery reminded her so much of Sango, that it was almost scary. They were both independent, caring, and didn't take shit from no one. Valery was an African American with light colored skin, who had lived in the United States all her life. She had recently moved here a year ago because of her grandfather, who was Japanese and said he was sick. Explaining she was one fourth Japanese.
She went into the kitchen to see Valery, with her dark brown hair that went over her slender shoulders, looking in the fridge. Kagome then looked around to see no Ms. Tomeda in sight, she sighed.
"Hey Valery, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
Valery frowned, "Nice to see you to Kagome." Valery said, rolling her eyes.
Kagome winced, "Sorry Valery, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that I thought you don't come to work on Fridays."
"Don't worry, I'm not staying long, I'm just here to pick up my pay check." she replied looking back in the fridge.
Kagome smiled, "That and raid the fridge." she said, before laughing.
Valery smirked, "That too." She closed the fridge to emerge with an apple.
"Ms. Val! Ms. Val!" a voice said.
Kagome looked down to see one of the four-year-olds run into the kitchen frantically. Valery and Kagome looked down worriedly.
"What's wrong Ken?" Valery questioned, as she looked the boy up and down, checking for any bruises or cuts.
Ken then smiled, "Ms. Tomeda wants you." he said, as he ran back out.
Kagome blinked in confusion while Valery scowled in annoyance.
"Okay, what was that about?" Kagome asked curiously.
Valery rolled her dark brown eyes, "I see you haven't met Ken, cutest little boy ever, but blows things way out of proportion."
Kagome frowned, "You mean he gets overly excited or something?"
Valery sighed, "Well you see, there was this one time a few months back, when it was my first day working here and I was watching over the kids. Ken yelled that there was a fire, while pointing near the television area. So I rushed and tried to get all the kids out, when Ms. Tomeda came out of the bathroom, she asked me what was going on and I told her that there was a fire. So we rushed all the kids out, and then the fire department came…"
:Flashback:
Valery sighed as she watched the children; they were all at the other side of the street, as Ms. Tomeda took roll call.
"Great, my first day and all this shit had to happen." Valery muttered under her breath.
"Well that's all of them. Thank Kami we were all able to get out safely." Ms. Tomeda sighed. " So where was the fire coming from, the kitchen?" she questioned.
Valery opened her mouth to answer but was cut off at the arrival of one of the firemen.
"There was no fire detected Ma'am." he said.
"What do you mean there wasn't any…" Ms. Tomeda stopped as she realized something; she then looked over to Valery.
Valery put her hands up in her defense, "No wait, one of the children told me that-""Which one?" Ms. Tomeda questioned.
Valery turned around and looked among the kids until she spotted the boy, "That one." she said, as she pointed over to him.
Ms. Tomeda frowned, "Ken." she said warningly.
Ken looked up and smiled sheepishly, "I didn't say it was a real fire."
Valery's eyes widened, "You don't yell fire unless there actually 'is' one!" she yelled, while the little boy flinched.
Ms. Tomeda put her hand up to silence her, "Calm down Valery." she sighed.
"I think this clarifies things." Another fireman said, as he handed Valery what seemed to be a tape, "I found it playing on the VCR." he sighed.
Valery arched a brow; she looked at the tape label and blinked.
Ms. Tomeda frowned in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"H…H..How to prevent forest fires?" Valery said, with raising rage. As she saw camera crews from various news channels, as well as people taking pictures of her.
Ms. Tomeda sighed, "Not surprised, Ken always exaggerates about things." she said, before turning to the other firemen. "False alarm, but thank you for the help."
Valery looked up and glared at the boy who was cowering behind Ms. Tomeda legs, as she ignored the many questions and microphones aimed at her. Ken then looked up at her as he tried to put on the most innocent look he could muster.
"But it looked so real Ms. Va-uh-ee
:End of Flasback:
Kagome was laughing as she looked at her now pissed friend, "Poor you." Kagome choked through laughter.
Valery frowned, "Yeah I know, and for more than a week my face was every tv station I turned to. And what was even worse was for almost a month I was known by many as, the girl who fell for it."
Kagome burst into another fit of laughs, leaning against the counter. Valery rolled her eyes, "You know, it's not that funny. I mean, where I come from, if someone yells fire, you don't take any chances and you get your ass out of there."
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, I see what you mean." she said, before she realized something, "Wait, he used to call you Ms. Valery?" Kagome smiled.
Valery nodded, "They all did, but since they couldn't say it right, I told them to just call me Ms. Val. Which they can all say perfectly."
Kagome smiled, "What ever you say Ms. Va-uh-ee" she laughed.
Valery glared at her, "You shouldn't be one to talk Ms. Hi-a-shi." she smirked. "Or better yet what Yuni calls you, Gome."
Kagome frowned, "I think that' s adorable thank you very much."
Valery rolled her eyes before taking a bite out of her neglected apple, "What ever you say girl."
"Nice to see you two are talking instead of watching the kids like your supposed to." A voice said.
They both looked up to see Ms. Tomeda.
Valery shook her head, "Nope, not me. I'm off today. Can't say the same for Kagome though." she said, as she threw her apple into the trash bin.
Kagome frowned, "Wow, thanks Val."
Valery smirked, "Any time." She then turned to Ms. Tomeda who handed her the check.
"Thanks." she smiled.
Ms. Tomeda smiled in return, "Drive safely and tell that grandfather of yours I said hi." she said, as she watched, Valery leave.
"Don't worry, I will." Valery smirked before winking at Ms. Tomeda, as she waved goodbye.
Kagome smirked, knowing the whole story about Valery's grandfather having a thing for Ms. Tomeda, even though he was about the age of her grandfather.
Ms. Tomeda cringed, realizing her mistake, "I shouldn't had even said anything, now that man is going to take that as some type of invitation." she sighed, as she saw Kagome smile at her.
Kagome straightened her face as she tried not to smile, but was failing miserably, "Sorry." Kagome said, as she shot her boss an apologetic look.
Ms. Tomeda sighed, "Don't worry Kagome, it's fine. Now help me get the children in their jackets before we head outside." she said, as she walked out the kitchen.
Kagome sighed, "Coming." she replied, as she followed Ms. Tomeda and walked over to Yuni who was having trouble putting on her jacket.
"Gome! Gome!"
Kagome looked up from her book to the overly excited girl running towards her.
"Look! Look! It done!" Yuni smiled, as she sat down next to Kagome on the picnic table.
Kagome smiled, arching a brow, "What is?"
"My picture." Yuni beamed, as she showed Kagome her now finished drawing.
Kagome smiled as she looked at the picture, "Wow Yuni, it's beautiful."
Yuni smiled, "See? This is me, this is my daddy, and this is the lake at my daddy's big house." Yuni said, as she pointed to each one in her drawing.
Kagome nodded, "And let me guess, that's your house all the way over there." Kagome said, as she pointed to a small house.
Yuni bobbed her head, "Yep, but it so far away from the lake that why it so small."
Kagome smiled, "I'm so proud of you Yuni, you did a great job."
Yuni grinned, "I can't wait to show it to daddy." she squealed, as she jumped up and down in her seat.
Kagome laughed at her excitement, "Calm down Yuni."
Yuni stopped jumping and sighed, "Daddy is always being so sad. So I wanted to make him happy. That why I made the picture."
Kagome smiled, that's why she liked Yuni so much. She was caring, sweet, and her smile just brightened up the room.
"I hope it make him happy again." Yuni smiled.
Kagome sighed, as she put her arms over the little girl's shoulders, "I'm sure it will.
Kagome sneezed as she sprayed the cleaning spray on the windows. The smell was irritating the hell out of her and she wondered whether she was the only one bothered by the scent. It was only five fifty, and most of the children were all ready picked up by their parents, which baffled her. She estimated there were about no more than seven children left, and since this was the time she usually departed, she knew there were often more kids still here around this time.
She sighed as she placed the cleaning materials back in the closet, "I have to tell Ms Tomeda that we need to change this." she said, as she washed her hands in the sink.
Kagome then walked over to the television area, to see the remaining kids sitting in front of the tv on the carpet. She sighed as she took a seat on one of the chairs right behind them. She watched as Ms. Tomeda put a tape into the VCR, and pressed play.
"Okay everyone, no talking while the movie is on, okay?" Ms. Tomeda said.
"Okay!" they replied.
Kagome smiled as Ms. Tomeda took a seat next to her.
"Enjoying yourself?" Ms. Tomeda questioned.
Kagome smiled, "Yeah I am, but I'm exhausted though." Kagome sighed. "How do you do it?"
Ms. Tomeda laughed, "I've been doing this for over a year now my dear. You learn to get used to it."
Kagome looked towards the tv curiously, "What are we watching?"
"An American children's movie." Ms. Tomeda smiled. "It's actually one of those princess movies, you know, when the princess finds her prince charming." Ms. Tomeda sighed, as she spaced out for a moment.
Kagome arched a brow, "Ms. Tomeda, what's wrong?"
Ms. Tomeda snapped out of her daze and, for the first time since Kagome had known her, blushed. "N…Nothing dear."
Kagome frowned looking skeptical, "Yeah right, what's really going on."
Ms. Tomeda sighed, "Fine, well you see, I have a date tonight."
Kagome's eyes widened with excitement, "Really? How long have you two been dating?"
"Actually it's been a couple of months, six to be precise." Ms. Tomeda smiled.
Kagome grinned, "Where are you going?"
"To dinner, at this nice restaurant near by where he made reservations."
"Wait till I tell Val about this, she'll have a field day." Kagome smiled.
Ms. Tomeda laughed, "Oh well, seems Valery beat you to it. When I first started dating him, I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think it would get serious. But as you can see, the months wore on and I still hadn't told anyone, and before I knew it Valery was able to figure out everything."
Kagome laughed, "Yeah, that's Valery, always observant."
Ms. Tomeda nodded before sighing, "Kagome, I think he's the one, even your mother approves. I guess the fear of getting hurt was why I was so scared of commitment, and the very thought that he might leave me " she then smiled. "But Kenji mad it quite clear that he wouldn't be going anywhere."
Kagome smiled, seeing how just the thought of the man made her boss happy. "I'm really happy for you."
Ms. Tomeda smiled, "Thank you, I've been looking forward to this for about a week now. He's been out of town for business for almost a month and I've only talked to him since he's been back. So since I'm meeting him at the restaurant at seven thirty, I told all the parents that closing time would be six thirty instead of seven."
Kagome nodded, "Guess that explains why all the children were picked up earlier than usual."
"Yes, also some parents decided to keep their children for the day, I suppose knowing that they won't be able to pick up their child at an early time." Ms. Tomeda sighed. "That gives me about an hour for us to clean up, for me to change, and make it to the restaurant in time."
Kagome smirked, "So what are you guys doing after dinner."
Ms. Tomeda frowned, "Your no better than Valery. She asked me that same questioned, but it was a little bit more descriptive for my taste."
"No really, I'm just curious. Like are you going to his place?"
Ms. Tomeda sighed as she saw three parents enter, and then got up. "I honestly don't know." she said before smirking. "It all depends on how well he behaves tonight." she said as she winked, walking up to meet the now arriving parents.
Kagome put all of the books back on the shelf before rearranging some of the others. An hour had past and all the children had been picked up.
"Damn him!"
"All but one." Kagome sighed, as she glanced over to Yuni who took it upon herself to help clean up.
"I told him to pick Yuni up at six thirty or at seven, hell, I even begged him! He's always picking up that poor girl so late, and she's always the one to go home last!" Ms. Tomeda muttered angrily, as she walked out of the back room after changing. Kagome smiled towards her.
"Ms. Tomeda, you look great." Kagome said, as she admired Ms. Tomeda's black dress. She had her black hair done up in a bun and just she had on just about enough make up that made her glow.
Ms. Tomeda briefly smiled, as she put on her other earring. "You think so?"
Kagome nodded, "Of course, he's definitely going to be on his best behavior."
Ms. Tomeda sighed, "Yes, but it's seven thirty and I'm already late, he's probably out front waiting for me."
Kagome's face saddened, she knew how much this night meant to her. She knew her mother expected her to be home by now but…
"I'll stay with Yuni for you."
Ms. Tomeda blinked as she looked up at Kagome uncertainly, "Kagome I-"
"I can stay until Mr. Tashio comes to pick up Yuni."
"But Kagome," Ms. Tomeda said hesitantly. "I still have to close-"
"I can take care of that too, as soon as he comes I'll just close up the day care center."
Ms. Tomeda frowned, "Oh no Kagome, I can't ask you to do that, I-"
"Ms. Tomeda, I always close up the shrine after all the visitors come, it won't be a problem. Besides, he's waiting for you and you didn't ask me, I'm offering. " Kagome said, as she pushed Ms. Tomeda towards the door.
Ms Tomeda smiled, "Oh Kagome, thank you so much." she said, as she gave Kagome a hug.
Kagome smiled, "Don't worry about it," she said, as she moved out of the embrace. "It's the least I could do after all you've done."
Ms. Tomeda nodded, her eyes watering, "You don't know how much this means to me." she sniffed, as she picked up her purse. "Well, the keys are in my desk draw, and make sure you call your mother and tell her that you'll be coming home a little late, I don't want her getting worried about you."
Kagome nodded, "Okay, I will." she said, as she watched Ms. Tomeda walk towards the door. "Have fun."
Ms. Tomeda smiled, "Don't worry I will, thanks to you." she said, before exiting through the door.
Kagome sighed as she watched Ms. Tomeda's car pull out of the parking lot.
"Gome?"
Kagome looked down to see Yuni standing next to her.
"My daddy will be here aaaaaaaaaaaany minute." Yuni smiled.
Kagome smiled in return, hoping she was right.
Kagome sighed as she watched Yuni color in her little coloring book at the table. Unfortunately that minute turned out to be several. Not only that, she was starving and there wasn't anything in the fridge. It was almost an hour ago that Ms. Tomeda had left and that she had called her mom. She even called Mr. Tashio's cell, but he didn't answer. Moaning, she looked up at the clock from her seat to see it was precisely eight thirty…
"Shit." Kagome said under her breath. "I forgot to get mom's clothes from the dry cleaners."
Yuni blinked in confusion, "What wrong Gome?"
Kagome sighed, "Nothing, I just forgot to get something." The dry cleaners closed exactly at eight thrity, if she hurried over next-door, maybe she'd be able to catch up with them before they left. She then glanced over to Yuni realizing that she couldn't leave her here while she ran to the dry cleaners, it would be utterly irresponsible of her. Besides, she couldn't bear the thought.
"Yuni?
"Yes Gome." Yuni answered, looking up from her coloring book.
Kagome walked over to the rack and picked up Yuni's jacket, "We're taking a little trip next door, to see if I can get my mother's clothes." she said, as she helped Yuni put on her jacket.
"We goin to the cleanie?" Yuni innocently asked, smiling.
Kagome laughed as she put on her sweater before grabbing Yuni's hand in hers, "Yep, the cleanie." she said, as they walked out of the day care center. Kagome then locked the door with the key Ms. Tomeda had left her and walked around the corner with Yuni, hand in hand, not seeing the car that just entered the parking lot.
Inuyasha sighed as he parked his car; he had a rough day at work and was held back because of some last minute affairs that needed to be taken care of. He got out of his car and walked towards the Day Care Center. Inuyasha reached for the door and lowered his brows in confusion when he saw that it was locked.
"What the-" he frowned. He banged on the door and was surprised when receiving no answer. He then looked trough the glass windows to try to see past the darkness. He was worried, since when did Ms. Tomeda leave her lights off? Inuyasha looked past his shoulder realizing Ms. Tomeda's car wasn't in sight. Deciding not to take that fact into account for she didn't always bring her car, he decided to assume that she was probably in the back room with Yuni. He sighed when he saw his other option…over the fence and through the back door.
Kagome groaned, her mom was definitely going to kill her. She had gotten there just in time, or so she thought. The person who was closing up said that in order for her to get her clothes, she'd have to come in the morning. She looked down at Yuni who was skipping along side her. Kagome smiled down at the cheerful girl before unlocking the door and entering.
"Yuni?"
"Yes Gome." Yuni answered smiling.
"Do you know where your daddy might be?" Kagome asked, as she watched Yuni scrunch up her face.
Yuni put her finger on her chin in thought, "Um, I think he at work."
Kagome sighed, by the looks of things; she wasn't getting home anytime soon. All of a sudden there was a loud thud coming from the back.
Kagome froze as she heard the sound; she then looked down at Yuni who whined.
"Gome, what…what that?" Yuni asked fearfully, as she hid behind Kagome's legs.
Kagome frowned, "I…I'm not sure." Kagome answered, before hearing another sound.
"Gome I'm scared." Yuni muttered, as she held on tightly to Kagome's legs.
Kagome looked down worriedly at Yuni before prying Yuni's hands of her and kneeling down. "Everything will be alright Yuni, I want you to be a good girl and hide under the table and stay there until I say so, okay."
Yuni frowned, "But Gome-"
"Okay?"
Yuni sighed, "Okay Gome."
Kagome got up and looked around before spotting a plastic toy bat, she picked it up and handed it to Yuni.
"What this for?" Yuni asked, curiously.
"Just in case…" Kagome watched as Yuni's face changed from that of curiosity to worry. She then smiled hoping to reassure her. "Well, it's just in case I need back up." Kagome said, as she watched Yuni smile before crawling under the table.
Kagome frowned as she got up and looked around frantically for a weapon of her own, she then grabbed a pillow, seeing that it was better than nothing. She quietly walked towards the back of the center, watching as it got darker and darker each step she took. She looked around not seeing anyone but that one of the large toy trucks she forgot to put away, was turned over. Kagome sighed as she turned on a near by lamp. Maybe it was just the wind that knocked it over; she then blinked when realizing the back door was open.
Her eyes widened, "What the AAAAAAAHHHHH!" Kagome screamed, as she was grabbed from behind, to soon find a hand over her mouth.
Yuni looked up worriedly, as she saw a shadowy figure grab Kagome. She didn't know what to do. Kagome had told her to stay, but she wanted to help, what if the person hurt her. Yuni crawled out from under the table and grabbed the bat, with a face that showed determination, she ran towards them.
Kagome struggled against the person who grabbed her, trying to get free from their grasp.
"Shhhh." The person said, as he held on to her.
Kagome shook her body wildly, not liking the fact that her arms were pinned to her sides.
"I said be OUCH!" the intruder Kagome guessed was male by his voice yelled, as he felt something hit his legs
"You let go of Gome now!" Yuni yelled, as she continued her assault with her bat.
Kagome's eyes widened as she saw Yuni continuously hit the man's legs from behind. She didn't want anything to happen to Yuni, just the thought itself hurt. Shaking her body even harder she was able to slip from his grasp when she stepped on his foot, and bit his hand. He then let go of her. She pulled Yuni away from him as she glared at the man; she picked up the pillow she had dropped and raised it over her head as though she were to bring it down upon his. Yuni aimed her bat at the man's legs.
"Wait Yuni it's me!" the man yelled.
Yuni blinked in confusion, as she lowered her bat. "Wait, how you know my name."
Kagome frowned, then reached over to the wall and flicked the switch that turned on all the lights in the Center. Her eyes widened, when standing in front of her was a man whose features were practically identical to Yuni's.
Yuni smiled as she dropped her bat, "Daddy!" she yelled, as she ran towards him.
Kagome blinked in confusion, "Da…Daddy?"
The just said looked up at Kagome as he picked his daughter up into his arms, "Yes, "I'm 'daddy'" he said sarcastically, before smirking. "But you can call me Inuyasha."
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed part one. When I wrote this chapter, it was too long so I divided it into two chapters. I made sure I made that part with Valery so everyone would know how her personality is, since she will be one of the characters in this story. Don't forget to review and tell me what you thought of this chapter. Enjoy chapter four!
