--Daddy's Girl--
"P-p-please, Daddy?" Big, sparkling green eyes looked up at him imploringly as they filled with tears. Inwardly, Inuyasha groaned. First her mother... now Kaiya, too. He could never say no when they used the puppy eyes on him.
No matter how undignified the request may be.
"All right, fine... hop on." Smiling, he tossed his daughter up onto his back and latched her arms around his throat. Making sure she was secure, he began to run around the small clearing, bouncing and jostling her as he went. The little girl squealed with glee, her pigtails flying out behind her. Running by a small patch of wildflowers, he swooped up a small daisy and handed it to Kaiya. She giggled and sniffed the flower delightedly.
Across the clearing, Kagome peeked out the door to Kaede's hut. Stepping out, she called softly, "Inuyasha? Could you help me a minute?"
Before running over to her, Inuyasha set the girl down gently. "Stay here for a minute, okay? Mommy needs me."
Kaiya smiled up at her father. "Okay, Daddy."
