Chapter 14: Naoke's Father
"So how are you getting along with your dad?" Emi asked as her and Naoke walked down the street.
"Pretty good, I think we're both still adjusting to the whole thing, but it's cool," Naoke answered happily, her hands grasping the straps of her bag that she carried on her back.
"And let me guess, I still can't meet him," said Emi with a knowing glance.
Naoke turned around and started walking backwards, "He's really not into seeing people, it's this weird thing he has going."
Suddenly Naoke felt her bumping into someone as they approached Naoke's place. She looked up and saw Inuyasha standing there looking down at her with a curious look, the blue cap that Kagome still made him where in her era resting on top of his head.
"Weird thing?" Inuyasha repeated with a raised eyebrow.
Naoke gave her father a guilty smile and laughed nervously.
"Is this your dad?" Emi asked.
"Uh yeah," Naoke nodded.
"Cool," Emi said, taking in his odd appearance.
"This is my friend, Emi and this is my dad Inuyasha," Naoke introduced.
"'Sup," replied Inuyasha.
"So are you here for you know what?" Naoke asked with a happy grin, almost forgetting her friend was right behind her.
Inuyasha figured she was talking about her embracing the part inside that was taking from her when she was a baby, "Aren't you a little too excited about that?" Inuyasha asked still looking at her like she had lost her mind.
Naoke shook her head, still smiling.
"Is this like a private family thing?" asked Emi getting the feeling she was missing something huge.
"Uh yeah, kind of a family spiritual thing," Naoke said looking at her friend innocently, hoping she would buy it.
"O…k, whatever you say."
Naoke laughed a little.
"Actually…." Inuyasha started.
"Naoke," she heard her mother call from the top of the stairs.
Inuyasha, Naoke and Emi all looked up to see Kagome at the top.
"We need to get going, it's time," Kagome gave her daughter a small smile.
Naoke's smile grew as she realized what she was talking about.
"Feh, WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE!" Inuyasha yelled back at Kagome, not liking that he got interrupted.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha causing him to shut up very quickly.
"Well I really have to go," Naoke told Emi and running with the idea, "You know family stuff."
"Ok," Emi turned to leave, still a bit confused, "see ya later Naoke," she said waving as she left.
Naoke ran up the stairs excitedly. It seemed like forever, but the time had finally come. It was truly a day to celebrate, because something wonderful was happening.
A/N: I know, I said this was the last chapter, sorry, but I just wanted to stop it here, lol, I'm mean like that. Anyway, next chapter will definitely be the last one and I'm really considering on a sequel, what do you guys think?
