Chapter 3: Disguised

Inuyasha smiled proudly as he walked through the doors, 'Now looking different won't be a problem!' Inuyasha said as he opened the door handing the groceries to a servant, a smile descending on his face as the servant gave off a slight smile, Inuyasha walking past him proudly.

"Mommy!" Inuyasha said entering his mother's room, as she turned in surprise trying to suppress her giggles. Inuyasha stood before her with dark glasses and one of her dress hats on, his hair sticking out was no longer white but died black, he wore black gloves hiding his claws and the only other sign of a hanyou was his teeth.

"Inuyasha?" She said trying to avoid the giggle that was clear in her voice. "Why do you have all that stuff on?" Inuyasha smiled proudly as he trotted over towards his mother her taking off her hat, Inuyasha looking a bit sillier with black hair and white ears. Inuyasha looked up at her, "So people will stop being mean and calling me a hanyou" he said softly taking his glasses off as he revealed his bruise on his left cheek and right eye, his mother gasping at the shock.

"A few boys did it, the girl tried to stop them…I think her name was Suki…." Inuyasha said as he looked up at his mother, his golden eyes reflecting innocence as he looked at her. "Mommy, why do people hate me so much? Is it how I look? Do I look like a half breed mommy?"

Izaoi took a shaky breath as she looked at her son, "You are a hanyou my son."

"Mommy what's a hanyou, is it a half breed?"

"A hanyou…is something very special; there aren't very many hanyou's out there Inuyasha; a half breed is people being more direct about it."

"I don't understand…Mommy, how can people tell I'm a half breed? Is it my ears?"

Izaoi smiled as she touched one of Inuyasha's ears gently. "No my son…your mommy is a human and your daddy was a demon, that's what makes a half breed."

Inuyasha frowned, "So why do people hate me?"

Izaoi sighed, "Maybe there just afraid, I don't know….Your one of each species Inuyasha, That's what makes you a half breed, that's what makes you who you are…"

Inuyasha gave off a small nod, "I think I get it Mommy" Inuyasha said smiling as Izaoi stroked his hair.

"Let's give you a bath hm?"

"Hai!"

Suki stood at the doors nervously, as she looked up at the huge wooden doors. "He lives here? I don't even know his name" Suki sighed as she knocked on the wooden door.

"Um is there a um little boy who lives here he's…" Suki stuttered as she looked at Izaoi, Izaoi smiling as Inuyasha raced out his hair soaking wet, in his red kimono. "You're the girl from before" Inuyasha said running past his mother, his swelling having gone down quite a bit.

"Hi…" Suki smiled slightly looking at his cheek' "I'm sorry my brother and friends hurt you" She looked down almost ashamed. "it's okay" Inuyasha said, "Don't be sad" Suki gave off a small nod.

"Do you want to come in? I'm sure Inuyasha would love a little playmate!"

"Inu..yasha…" The girl said in awe as she nodded up towards Izaoi.

"Your Suki right?" Inuyasha said taking his hand with the small girl's, Suki blushing slightly. Izaoi taking a note of this as the two walked away.

"Inuyasha has a play mate…it's great, I just hope…it lasts" Izaoi said to herself as she listened to the two children's laughter. "I hope it lasts."

Authors Note: I hope it does too I know it's short but it'll get longer, gomene
