"Hey, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she curled up against him. It had been two weeks since Kikyo and Naraku had passed and they had…uh…well, you know.

"Hm?" He was practically asleep.

"When are we going to, um,"

"Kagome, we just mated again, I would like to have some sleep." Inuyasha sat up.

Kagome turned beet red and moved more of her sleeping bag to cover her. "No! You miss understand, what I mean is, when are we getting married?"

Inuyasha looked confused. "I didn't really think about that. Demons don't have to marry really, since they mate."

"Oh." Kagome responded. Disappointment was heavy in her voice.

"But we can if you want too." Instantly she smiled.

"Thank you. Dog-boy." She kissed him on the lips. Instantly he threw her on her back and was on top of her. It was going to be a long night.

"Well, we're off." Miroku said as he mounted Kirara behind Sango.

"Now, you're sure you don't mind us not coming? We could totally go with you guys if you want us too."

"Kagome, you need to go speak with your mother about your engagement with Inuyasha. And don't worry about it; she'll be fine with it." Sango smiled at her friend.

"Thanks," Kagome smiled back.

"Bye!" Kagome called and grasped Inuyasha's hand with hers and waved with the other. They flew off into the air in search of the young demon slayer.

"Ready Kagome?" Inuyasha asked and squeezed her hand. She smiled up at him.

"Yes."

"Mama!" Kagome called into the house. The middle-aged woman walked into the kitchen where her daughter and mate stood. Suddenly a shock went through Kagome's body. Inuyasha, sensing her distress, put his hand on her shoulder. There was a strange smell coming from the living room, but he wasn't sure what it was.

"Kagome dear, what a wonderful surprise! Hello Inuyasha, tell me, how have you been?" The woman smiled and began filling a pot for tea.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha whispered into her ear when her mother's back was turned.

"I…sense something strange in my house…I think it's a demon but…it can't be…"

"Tara, is there anything I can help you with?" A man, looking no older than 50, wearing nice Kaki pants and a sweater vest and long silver hair in a ponytail came into the kitchen. Kagome tensed as she gasped. This aura…no, it can't be a-

Inuyasha growled. "What do you want demon?"

(A/N: Kag's mom's new name is Tara. So far, in the manga she doesn't have a name, so this is mine for her.)

"Okay, here is where we saw Kohaku last." Miroku announced as they landed.

"Look, we are not alone." Sango stated. Kagura was snooping around the area.

"Well, well, well. I was wondering when I would see you two again." The wind demon proclaimed.

"What do you want Kagura."

"Calm yourself monk. I merely was seeking the boy, as are you. Maybe we could help each other out, hm?"

"Uh, no." Sango replied, grasping Hirikostu.

"Relax, Sango, is it?" Kagura smiled. Miroku just stood in front of Sango and sent death stares at her.

"My, my, my, protective, isn't he?" Kagura laughed lightly.

"Leave. Now." Miroku growled. (A/N: Not like Inu, this just means he is really angry. Get it? Gooooood.)

"How about, no? I am looking for the boy and I will find him. And I bet I have a lot more going for me. Why don't we join forces, that way I won't have to kill you?" Kagura suggests.

"Yes," Sango boldly replies before Miroku can even think about it. "We will join you on the quest for my brother."

"But when we find him, he comes with us. Deal?" Miroku bargains. Kagura sighed.

"Fine."

"I'll ask you again, what do you want demon?" Inuyasha growled louder this time.

"Inuyasha!" Mrs. Higurashi scolded. "Please, be more reverent to Kagome's grandfather."

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but that ain't the old man!" Inuyasha shouted and put his hand on the Tetsusaiga.

"I am Akira's father."

"Daddy?" Kagome whispered, but the demons still heard it.

"Yes." The old demon answered.

"Kagome, who the hell is this guy?"

"He is my grandfather on my father's side of the family. Tell me, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked him. The old demon sat down at the table.

"I know you don't know much about your father my dear, but he was my son. I am a demon; in fact, I'm a dog demon, just as my mate was. We had your father, our only pup."

"So…that means…dad was a-,"

"Demon? Yes dear, he was."

"Oh my God…"

"Anyway, he wanted you to grow up normal and put a spell on you, causing you to appear human until you turned twenty. Not long after you were born, I was forced to move to America, job and what-not. I am happy to say I can be back here in Japan with my family again. I really wanted to meet you, to help you with your training of your powers as a half-demon." He smiled; Kagome just had her mouth open in awe.

"MOTHER!" Kagome screamed.

"I'm sorry dear, but I wanted to keep you safe from it. I wanted you to lead a normal life. It was what your father wanted."

"I…understand." Kagome whispered. Then she gasped. "Souta!"

"He's human. Completely." Tara turned back to the stove. "I would rather not talk about his father."

"I get it." She turned to her grandfather. "So, my father was a demon?"

"A very powerful one. He ruled along side me for a short time in what is now present day-Russia. Then he came here when your mother was in high school. He had a good friend in this land about 700 or so years ago, dog demon with a thing for swords. I can't remember his name, but he helped us in war a few times. Cut down in his prime after mating a human. Had a son with her too. I can't remember his name though."

Inuyasha stiffened.

"Inu Taisho?" Kagome suggested.

"AHA! Now, how did you know that?" The old man beamed.

"My father." Inuyasha spoke up.

"I'm sorry."

"Keh."

"Tea's done!"

Hope you guys liked this! I'll go into Kag's father a lot more before this is over. Oh, I also changed the name. I am going to write Choose again, but the plot will move in another direction. R&R! XP
