I know this may be a bit late, but Sango, Mr. Tamashi and Mrs. Amai's hut is kinda like a miniature house. Well, more like an actual house, just looking "huttsy" on the outside. Sorry! See, what kinda writer am I? I include all these things late! I'm supposed to have it all organized and mentioned when it's supposed to be. (sigh) I wonder about myself sometimes. Here are the people I want to thank:

Chapter 4: Questions?

Mr. Tamashi smiled at hearing what his daughter's new friend called him. It quickly disappeared though as he thought about the situation. It was sorta odd that even though he didn't know the boy, he had allowed him to call him father. Then again, where was the young boy's father?

Mr. Tamashi was wondering…what was his name again? Inu…sasha? 'No, hmm' In…yourwasasha?… 'Oh! I know. Inutasha! Yeah, that's it.' So, thinking that he got his name right, he continued wondering. 'Telling Sango that our family consists of demon slayers and a priestess might hurt her. After all, they both destroy demons. I've noticed that her new friend is only part…but he's just a child, hopefully, he is an innocent half-breed.'

Finally coming to an end of his thinking-train, he stood up and walked in the direction of his hut. Where he would be able to talk this out with his wife.

Inuyasha and Sango had just left the hut in which Mr. Tamashi was. During the time, curiosity once again invaded the young boy's mind. "Sango, why did your Mr. Tamashi want me to call him "father?" (For those of you who forgot or did not pay attention to it, Otou-san means father. Everything good? okay! ) Sango mentally rolled her eyes, 'He loves to ask questions, but I guess it won't hurt to answer a few.' She thought.

"My daddy…uh father has always wanted a young boy of his own. Since he got a girl, me, I guess he sees you as his own son," she stated before clearing something up, "I mean if you want to be like his son, then you can, but it's all your choice. You can call him father or like me daddy, or you can just call him Mr. Tamashi…uh…or you can, UGH! Forget it, just call him what you want. (sigh) I have a headache." (Yes the characters "sigh" when they talk) Sango mumbled this last part. All this talking was going to kill her…

The said girl with a headache had to choke a startled cry when she felt a hand on her forehead and stopped right there. She relaxed when she saw Inuyasha walk in front of her, hand still on her forehead, with his other hand on his. "My mommy used to do this when I had a headache to see if it was serious. You should learn not to talk so much." The young boy stated, a large grin on his face. "Well it's not serious, just a little warm, but you'll be okay."

The hanyou took back his hand and took two steps back to see a blushing Sango, looking at her feet. Inuyasha's head titled with a confused look on it, "What's wrong Sango? I was just checking your temp…whatever the rest of it is." He mumbled the last part, since he did forget the word.

Sango looked up to her friend, face still flushed, "You just startled me, and…and you…" she stammered. She was really blushing because of how close they had been. They were really only half an arms length apart, but Sango was Sango.

The young boy in front of her just shook his head, "Don't worry about it, and I told you to try not to talk so much. Sorry I startled you." He said, giving her a small wink before coming back to her side and joining their hands. "Ready?"

"Uh, o-of course…" The chocolate-eyed girl once again stammered. It was about afternoon now, and the two children had been through the whole village. Inuyasha noted that the village was bigger than he thought. The girl beside him said that they would put up gates in a couple of years.

When Sango showed him the village, he saw a couple mini markets, cattle and a small wooden stall. They had horses, sheep, chicken and a couple guard dogs. Give or take about 5 or 6 of them. It turned out that Sango's father was a doctor and had his own small medical center. Though Mr. Tamashi (the dad) was not a priest, he knew different herb ingredients to help the village people, or anyone else that might pass by sick or injured, etc.

"Well that's the whole village; shall we go to the river?" The brown-haired girl asked her silver-haired friend. His response was a nod and Sango led the way.

"Amai?" Mr. Tamashi asked as he entered their hut. "Amai?" he called again, this time a little more firmly. He heard something crash in their kitchen and quickly made his way there. His head popping out of another blanket covering (the cloth/blanket looking thing that covers the entrance on hut.) to find his wife. She looked up at him with teary eyes as she bowed her head down to look at the crystal pieces on the floor.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Are you-" a hand being raised silenced him from saying anything more. What could have possibly happen to upset his wife so? It was a rare occasion to see his wife on the brink of tears. This must be really bad.

"Tamashi…" she stated, finally allowing her head to raise and look at him as her hand went down. After being held captive for so long, the tears finally came. "Tamashi…" she said, this time a sob backing it up. He ran to his wife and embraced her in his arms, rocking her back and forth, trying to get her to calm down.

More tears streamed down her face at what she had seen in the now crystal pieces. Before it had broken, you could see that it was shaped as a sphere. Yes, it was a crystal ball. I don't know what they called it back then, but only priestesses with a truly pure soul, mind, and heart could posses it. All together, meaning that you would have to be a strong person.

"My love, what's wrong? And why has our orb broken?" Mr. Tamashi said this with the most concern and passion he could bring together in his voice. He was actually surprised at how he sounded. His voice hasn't been that soft since their wedding. Now he would use a sort of deep voice, but filled with a warrior's base. (A warrior's base means like when you sound very sincere in every possible way, but you have a firm voice. Something like that, but you always are able to catch the bravery, determination and all that other stuff in the voice, whether your on the battle field, or not.)

He heard a long sigh escape from his wife's mouth as she gently pushed him away, though she still remained in his arms. Looking up into his beautiful brown eyes, she was finally able to speak without a sob or so coming out. "The cryst-the orb showed that The Lilies are coming. They are on their way here to visit the children."

Mr. Tamashi's eyes widened as he remembered The Lilies. They had come to him as a child too, and he remembered the events that had taken place. It wasn't that great. They slowly went back to their correct size and he gazed deep down into her own beautiful aqua eyes. "So…a hundred years has passed already?" A nod confirmed his answer. He let her go fully and rubbed the side of his head.

"What do we do? Sango has always been excited about The Lilies since we first told her of their power and what it does…plus there's her half-breed friend, Inutasha."

"It's Inuyasha, honey. And Sango will just have to find out about The Lilies herself. Since Inuyasha is here, do you think if we let The Lilies go to him too that chaos will break out, just as it had 500 years ago?"

"Mmmm…I don't know. Time's events have changed. We'll just have to see if The Lilies will make a choice to go to him."

Well, here's the other chapter! This was an even longer wait than last time! I feel really bad, but I got it! I hope you enjoyed it, I'm reallllllly sorry for having you wait so long, and until next time!
