Hey! I finally am going to tell you what "Akehiko" actually means! It comes from "Takehiko", which means "Healthy wise child" or "Brave wise child". Akehiko really of course isn't healthy, but wise and brave he is. Besides, I read from somewhere that in Japan they usually give names, because they hope that their child will get these abilities what are in their names. So, it can be that his parents wanted him to be like that, because they knew he was going to be weak all of his life. "Mirako", Akehiko's little sister's name comes both from Latin and Japanese, "Mira" is Latin name and it means "Wonder". "Ko" is in Japan a term used to "Little" or "Child", so her name means "Wonder child", but this has no common with anything, I just made her name up a long time ago and I found out it suited her well.

By the way, do you want me to make a sequel after I'm finished this? I have already planned it little bit and I can say that Akehiko will still visit Inu – gang in the past. He becomes stronger and healthier, but his parents aren't very pleased about that he goes there. And also, he will fell in love, but with who, that I'm not going to tell, because you would kill me for it. Well, not really. But now on the story and English is not my first language and I don't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi-sama does!

Chapter four: Sadness of Akehiko's childhood

Inuyasha woke up first. At first he thought where he might be, but then he remembered that they had come to the future to help Akehiko. Inuyasha was amazed that he could have learned to trust this little boy so fast. Usually he didn't really know how to speak to children or act around them, but with Akehiko he felt conformable and that he could be that caring and kind person he actually was. It seemed that Akehiko needed a person who would confront him and give him a shoulder to cry on. Inuyasha wouldn't admit it, but Akehiko had already with these few days became like his little brother, or even son. Well Akehiko was his future son, so it wasn't so bad to think like that. Suddenly he felt a presence besides him. He turned to watch and saw Akehiko, sleeping next to him.

'He must have came there last night' He though. Then he saw that Akehiko was crying in his sleep.

"Mama…papa…." He muddled.

'He's worried about them even in his sleep' Inuyasha though.

"No…don't go away!…No.."

"What?"

"He wishes they wouldn't be away so much" Inuyasha jumped.

"Shi-Shippo-san."

"Yep"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll tell you, but let's first go away from here, so we don't wake others."

Inuyasha followed future Shippo to place where was a lot of books.

"This is library of the castle." Shippo told him and took a brown book from self. He opened it and took a picture from it. He showed it to Inuyasha. Inuyasha saw that there were Shippo, Akehiko and little girl, witch he though was Mirako, their future daughter. Shippo held both of his siblings hand in the picture. Picture seemed to be taken couple years ago.

"Uh…Where are we? Me and Kagome I mean."

"You weren't there, when that picture was taken." Shippo showed more pictures. Whole book was filled with them. But just in just few where Inuyasha and Kagome in them and usually not very showing places. Inuyasha was amazed how many pictures Akehiko smiled. He hadn't really seen him smile often. Akehiko also looked little bit embarrassed in many pictures, he was blushing.

"Why…? Why me and Kagome are so rather of these pictures?"

"Your future selves are sot home very often. You're very busy. You come home maybe two times in month and then just for few days."

"But who takes care of you then?"

"I've always looked after Akehiko and Mirako. I can cook and do all other stuff, witch you need to know when you take care of children."

"Our children have had a harsh childhood."

"Yes. But that's not all. Akehiko has always been more distanced by Mother and Father than me and Mirako."

"Why?"

"I don't know. For Mirako's or mine birthday they usually do come, but not for Akehiko's. Still he tries to be strong and act cheerful. But I know his soul is very hurt and broken because of that. Me and Akehiko have always been close, of course we are as close with Mirako too. Akehiko don't feel any kind of bitterly for us. He reads a lot and knows more that many other children. I guess, because Mother and Father distance him, he feels he somehow is worse child than Me and Mirako, because he's not strong. So he tries his best to became smarter by reading, so he would be better than us even something."

"I see." Inuyasha felt even worse for Akehiko.

"But how can you not hate us, even though our future selves have done that?"

"Because it's not your fault. You are not able to decide what do you do in the future. But I beg you, when Akehiko becomes your son, please don't treat him like that. He doesn't deserve it"

"I promise I'll try my best for that."

The here steps. Akehiko comes door.

"Uh…Sorry. I didn't mean to irrupt."

"It's okay, little brother. You can come." Shippo said.

Akehiko went to search a book. Inuyasha followed him.

"What are you searching?"

"I try to find something that would help. After all, I won't be much help in the battle."

"Shippo told me about your childhood. I want you to know that I know exactly how you feel. I didn't even know my old man, he died night I was born and My mother, Izayoi, died when I was about 5"

"I see… But Inu-niichan…After this all is over…can I still come and see you and others?"

"Of course. I would be glad about that."

"Hey, boys! We're leaving!"

"Okay, Kagome"

'I promise you, Akehiko, I won't desert you, ever.'
