Chapter Two


Now a days Inuyasha could have kicked his self. There had been so many times he could have fixed it, or at least done something different, but he hadn't. He had let opportunity knock and slip on by. Now it was three years later and he had changed his life around, and so had she apparently. Inuyasha sighed and stared at the moon as though it held the answered he searched for. It stared blankly back and Inuyasha felt more alone now then ever. He'd come all the way back here to face his past, now what about his future.


Inuyasha ran his hand through his hair pulling out a tangle as it snagged. He looked pretty much the same. His eyes looked clearer, less drink induced than before. His hair was long, down almost to his butt, but still silver. It had been a dare between him and his brother. When they were 13 they had decided to dye their hair to look alike. It turned out so well and it got them so much attention they never changed it back. Now it was the only part, only memory left of his brother he wanted to keep. His golden eyes had been some recessive gene on his father's side, who's own eyes were hazel. Inuyasha shook his head and dragged his self out of his dream world as a little boy of about 8 years old came walking around the park.

"Hi!" Cried the cheerful voice. Inuyasha almost jumped at it's shrillness.

"Hello." He replied slowly.

"What'cha doin'" Asked the boy cocking his head quizzically.

"Thinking."

"About what?"

Inuyasha paused for a moment. "About a girl."

"You too!"

"Me too." Inuyasha replied thoroughly confused.

"I was thinking about a girl too."

"Oh." The little boy nodded and hopped up beside Inuyasha on the bench.

"I was thinking how mean this one girl named Rin was."

"Really?" Asked Inuyasha amused.

"Yep, you know what she did to me?" Asked the little boy a frown on his face. Inuyasha smiled and played along. "What?"

"She kissed me! Right here!" Cried the boy his outrage apparent as he pointed to his cheek. Inuyasha bit his tongue to keep from laughing.

"Did she?" He asked.

"Yep!"

"Do you like her?" Inuyasha asked amused.

"Well I….I dunno. She's pretty and playful, but she makes fun of me a lot." Replied the little boy his face thoughtful.

"Maybe she likes you back." Said Inuyasha.

"But…but she makes fun of me!"

"Maybe she makes fun of you because you haven't figure it out yet." Said Inuyasha, smiling.

"But….but….oh." The little boy seemed to space out, apparently overwhelmed by the idea.

"What's your name?" Asked Inuyasha breaking the poor boy out of his stupor.

"Oh! I'm Shippo! And I'm this many years old." Chirped Shippo holding up 8 little fingers.

"Well nice to meet you Shippo. I'm Inuyasha and I'm really old." Said Inuyasha shaking Shippo's hand.

"So what's your girls name?" Asked Shippo jumping back to the conversation from before.

"Well she's not my girl, anymore. Her name is Kagome." Replied Inuyasha his smile slipping from his face.

"Kagome? Is she tall with long black hair?" Inuyasha nodded mutely.

"I know her! She works at the library at my school. We all call her Mrs. H." Inuyasha sat there in mild shock. So she had switched back to her maiden name. Once they had been married her last name was Tashio, but now she had gone back to Higurashi. Inuyasha swallowed hard. A poke in his side distracted him.

"Hey I said what were you thinking about with her?" Said Shippo his red hair falling over one eye as he impatiently pushed it aside.

"I was thinking about how I missed her." Said Inuyasha. Shippo smiled up at him and grabbed his hand.

"Well then let's go see her!" Inuyasha was hauled off by his hand before he could say anything.

"Wait a minute!" Said Inuyasha yanking his hand back.

"What?"

"I can't go see her!"

"Why not?"

"Well cause…well…me and Kagome had a fight and I'm no longer like by her anymore." Said Inuyasha his hand rubbing the back of his neck, hoping to relieve stress he felt there.

"Why?"

"Cause I was an idiot who said and did some things I didn't mean."

"Can't you just apologize?" Asked Shippo. Inuyasha smiled at his simple thinking.

"It's not that easy."

"Well let's make it easier. Why don't you come work at my school?"

"At your school?"

"Yeh, I'm sure we still have some jobs open and then you can work around Kagome until you can think of a way to apologize!" By God the little twerp was a genius.

"Alright, you got somewhere to stay kid? It's pretty late."

"I stay at my momma house, my dad's dead and my mom is out of town for a week so you can stay with me if you like." Inuyasha looked thoughtfully at the alternatives to an empty hotel room and decided what's the harm.

"Sure kid, lead the way." Shippo practically bounded with happiness before dragging Inuyasha away.


End of chapter two. Any one have any ideas for challenges for my characters to overcome and learn from it are welcomed.

To Reviewers:

Cupid's Mistake: AWWW Thank you! I hope you enjoy my others as much as this one.

Scared Crow: writes in diary "I got someone to believe I'm a competent wirter! Score!

Loopylion: I thought abotu that, but it's just so overdone, and I try REAL hard not to be like everyone else. Which is a pain most of the time. I hope you like the role I'll have Shippo play anyways. I'm really glad people wanted me to contiue the one-shot. It had the most possiblities and I felt like I needed a few more Inu'KAg stories. Maybe once this one is done I'll make up a couple more.
