Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Summary: After Naraku is defeated Miroku and Sango get married and have one child (A son). When the child is only about three years old Miroku leaves on a mysterious mission and dissapears. After 10 years he finally returns. Now he is determined to make it up to his family.
Chapter 1: Leaving To Return
Sango held the sleeping child in her arms being careful not to disturb him. Only three years of age was this young boy. He was called Tao. It was her son. She waited along time before speaking to the man on the other side of the room.

"What...what do they want you to do Houshi-sama?" She spoke softly to the man. The man crossed the room till he was next to her. He stroked her hand soflty. "I must seal away the demon that is being talked about. I havebeen selected for the job." He said with just the littlest bit of pride in his voice.

"But..."Sango began. She stopped and started over. "I understand. You must but...this demon is a second to Naraku." she paused. When Miroku didn't respond she continued. "It took us so long to defeat him and if this demon is nearly as strong as him then there's no knowing how long it can take." She fought back tears.

Miroku looked at her sympathetically. "With Naraku only the group of us were fighting. There will be hundreds more on our side this time and he is not as powerful as Naraku was. He is weakening every day. Remember that." He stopped and then started again this time getting straight to the point. "I should be back in a matter of weeks."

Sango nodded. "I...understand...but..." she looked down. " I want to come with you...I feel like I'm..." Her voice trailed off.

Miroku stood up and became extremely seriouse. "No. You must stay here and care for Tao. I'll return soon. Take Care." He bent down and kissed her soflty on the cheek. "Goodbye..."

10 years later...
"Taki-chan!"

"Tao!"

A young girl ran down the hill towards the now 13 Tao. She had brown hair that was tied back into a long ponytail and sapphire eyes. She was wearing a bright blue kimono with pink and yellow flower patterns on it. She wore an unerasable smile while she bound toward the young teenage boy.

Takiko was a demon though she did not look (or act as her father thought) like one for the most part. She looked more like a half demon but was indeed full. She had three fox tails and fangs along with pointed fow ears on the top of her head and her claws were full and strong.

She continued her dash down the grassy hill towards her friend Tao. "You must return home! Now!" She cried.

"Why? Do we have a guest?" Tao asked curiously. Takiko paused and then said,"Quite a guest!" With that she ran up the hill out of site. Tao ran after her. "Wait! Who? Come back Takiko!"

When he finally caught up to her he grabbed her by the arm. "Hold on! Who is this you're so excited about!" He asked exasperated.

Takiko caught her breath. "It's him! The one we've been waiting for!" She yelled. Tao looked on confused. "What? Who-Huh?" Takiko looked at him in disbelief. "Him! The whole village has been waiting...and...and you and Miss Sango." She said.

Tao looked even more confused. Then suddenly his eyes widened. "You...you mean..."

"That's right! Houshi-sama has returned!"

Cliffy! MUHAHAHA! This is probably the best story I've ever thought of so please no flames. Sorry if it was short! PLEASE R&R!
