Chapter 6: New beginnings

Kagome's eyes widened, and her breath came in short gasps.

Kei nervously stared at her mother's state. Who was this Inuyasha? She could have sworn she had heard that name before...

Sango and Miroku stayed back a few feet, looking slightly amused as Kagome rushed towards the man's arms.

He stared at her looking baffled.

"Kagome..." He whispered, barely audible to the rest.

By now Kagome was crying. Glistening tears ran down her smiling face.

"Inuyasha.... I thought you died... Why didn't you come back for me?"

Kei gasped. Was this the man who was supposed to be dead? If it was, then he must be her father...

The man- Inuyasha- spoke.

"The well wouldn't let me back through. I don't know why. I gave up all hope of ever seeing you... and now you've turned up..."

Inuyasha turned to look at Kei, then back at Kagome.

"Is that another girl from your time?"

Kagome smiled.

"That, Inuyasha, is your daughter."

Inuyasha's eyes popped out of his head.

"Whaaaaaa?" He said with his mouth wide open and a deep blush covering his face.

Sango started laughing at the expression on his face.

"You're just like I remember you from old times, still immature and easily surprised."

"What did you just say?" asked Inuyasha, his veins popping.

"You forgot to mention his quick temper." chuckled Miroku, putting an arm around Sango.

"Feh." Inuyasha grunted, embarrassed by the others.

Kei stared sadly at the ground. Was her father going to deny her? Didn't he want her?

She always imagined meeting her father as a different experience, involving lots of hugs and tears, but here she was feeling left out in some place where she didn't know where she was.

She almost wished that she hadn't come here in the first place, but then saw the happiness alight in her mother's once sad eyes. It really meant the world to Kagome to come see her friends and Kei's father.

Kei sighed. She should at least try and fit in with these people.

Currently Inuyasha and Miroku were arguing about something. Kei could tell these people had been really great friends at some point. She wondered what had split them all up...

Kei looked up to see her mother staring pointedly at her.

"Come over here!" She mouthed excitedly, motioning next to her.

Kei did as she was told and soon enough was standing next to her father.

She started studying him, from his red clothing (can't remember what that thing is called) to a long sword she noticed on his belt. (I know it's not a belt, work with me people) Her eyes drifted to his long silver hair, until she saw something that made her blink.

On top of his head were two small ears. They looked so cute... Kei giggled to herself. She wondered what he would say if she told him...

The thought made her laugh out loud, and he shot her a confused glance.

"Um.... Sorry, Inuyasha..." She said, blushing because she didn't know how to address her newly found father.

"Ahem... yeah... that's erm... okay..." He trailed off, blushing too.

"Like father, like daughter..." Sango said, holding back another burst of laughter.

Just when everyone was beginning to settle in something disturbed the happiness:

"Hey, Inuyasha... Who's out there?" Came a woman's voice from inside the hut.

A/N: Dun dun duuunnnn. Who could it be? Mwahaha, another cliffy. Just when you thought I couldn't get any more 3vil! Ph33r!
