Journey Of the soul

Chapter 3: Izayoi and Inuyasha

Izayoi pulled away from Souta and ran to her mother who was now out cold on the ground. She leaned in and put her head against Kagome's chest.

"Mama, Iza here Mama." Izayoi said and started crying.

Inuyasha and Jason both looked to the white haired little girl clutching her mother. Inuyasha kneeled and went to pick Kagome up. However, he couldn't because Izayoi started screaming at him.

"NO!" Izayoi yelled and held on tighter. "YOU LEAVE MAMA ALONE!"

"I won't hurt her." Inuyasha said.

Jason moved to push Inuyasha away. "Listen I don't know who you are, but I don't think you have any reason to be here." Jason said picking up Izayoi.

Izayoi turned to Inuyasha, her blue eyes intense. "Mama fell down because of you. If you hurt my Mama Iza hurt you!" She spat.

Souta was still standing by the stairs. It seemed he was a little to shocked to move at the moment, his eyes however stayed locked on Inuyahsa.

"The hell I don't, they are my family and I have every right to be here!"

"Inuyasha." Souta said as he finally got enough sense to walk over to the group.

"You know him Souta?" Jason asked

"Yes, he is well…" Souta looked to Izayoi and back to Inuyahsa.

Jason's eyes widened.

"Oh…" Jason said.

Just at that moment, Kagome opened her eyes to look at the group of men, and one little girl before her.

"Ow, my head." Kagome said her vision still a little foggy.

"MAMA!" Izayoi yelled with happiness as she fought her way away from Jason to go and hug her mother.

Kagome sat up and opened her arms to the little girl. "Don't worry Iza, mama's fine, I just had a funny dream is all."

Kagome looked at the ground to the jewel that lay so innocently by her side. She reached for it and then looked up to be met with a pair of gold eyes. She screamed in shock again but didn't faint.

"Inuyasha!" She exclaimed.

Izayoi turned to Inuyasha and stood in front of her mother. Her eyes wandered over Inuyasha. She looked at his hair first and compared it to her own. She then found his ears. Her eyes narrowed as she reached up to touch them. Inuyasha didn't shy away from her as her little clawed hands tugged on his ears. He reached up and took her tiny hands into his big ones and she looked at the claws on them astonished.

"You just like Iza." Izayoi said with a frown.

Kagome swallowed deeply, while Inuyasha didn't know what to do.

"Mama, who is this?" Izayoi asked Kagome.

"How about we all go inside…Jason, I'll have to see you another time." Kagome said.

"Sure no problem." Jason said and walked off back down the shrine steps.

Izayoi sat in the living room playing with Souta, while Kagome and Inuyasha sat in her and now Izayoi's room.

"How did you get here?" Kagome asked, her back turned to him as she picked up Izayoi's toys.

Inuyahsa looked up from his position on her bed.

"The same way I always have."

"You mean to tell me the well worked?"

"Yeah…but only because I had a part of you with me."

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked turning her blue eyes to face him. She still couldn't believe after four years of not seeing or hearing from him he appears out of nowhere.

Inuyasha put his hand into the red part of his haori and pulled out a golden locket. Kagome's eyes widened.

"You still have that?" She asked a little shocked that he would have kept such a small trinket.

"Yeah I never got rid of it, just hid it. Then I thought that if maybe I had something of yours I could use the well again. So I went and got it out of it's hiding place, as you can see It worked but not before I had to have Miroku use magic on it."

"Miroku?" Kagome said. "How is he and Sango?"

"They have about four kids and another on the way."

Kagome smiled and tried to imagine the four little ones. She could see an older girl being followed around by two younger boys and a very small little sister. Then a red headed pre-teen assaulted her mind. She knew he wouldn't be a small child any longer.

"And what about Shippo?" Kagome asked.

"He is the same as ever, childish but everyday he seems to be getting stronger."

Kagome smiled and felt the tears fall from her eyes. She missed them all so much.

"Can we go back?"

"I don't think so…" Inuyasha replied. "Miroku said the magic could only work once."

"Oh…" Kagome said a bit disappointed.

"I'm sorry."

"No." Kagome said and smiled. "You're here that's all that matters."

Inuyasha nodded and frowned, he had no idea what to do from here. He got here, she was safe and so was Izayoi. He knew she was his daughter, but she had never even met him before now and he was scared she wouldn't like him.

"Izayoi, she's so…"

"Beautiful." Kagome finished.

"Yeah, I must have scared her though."

"No, she just worries about me is all. She doesn't like strangers coming anywhere near me, it makes it a little hard to make friends." Kagome said and walked over to the bed where she took a seat across from Inuyasha.

"Who is the man that was here?" Inuyasha asked remembering the brown-haired man who told him to leave.

"Oh, that was Jason." Kagome started. "He's my friend, I met him in college, but don't worry he doesn't like women."

"Oh, so it's not your 'boyfriend'?"

"Nope, I'm as single as ever." Kagome said with a smile.

"Good, then I didn't do this for nothing."

"What about Izayoi?" Kagome asked a little offended by the comment.

"What I was saying was I'm glad because I wouldn't want to take someone she looked up to as a father away from her."

"Mama?"

Kagome looked to the door to see a bit of white hair and two little blue eyes sticking through the crack in the door. She smiled and beckoned the girl to enter the room. Izayoi came in little by little keeping her eyes on Inuyasha. She crept over to the large bed she and her mom shared. She climbed up onto it and sat in her moms lap.

"Hi, I'm Izayoi." She said and held out her tiny hand to him.

He smiled at her and took her hand into his own shaking it like Kagome had taught him to a long time ago.

"I'm Inuyasha." He replied.

"Inu…Inu…Ya…ha." Izayoi tired to pronounce it correctly.

Inuyasha laughed. "Inu…Ya…Sha…" He said slowly breaking it into sections for her.

"Iza know." Izayoi said.

"So she talks in third person?" Inuyahsa asked.

"Yeah, she refuses to talk normally."

"Inu and Iza the same Mama?" Izayoi asked out of nowhere looking up at her mom.

"Hmm? What do you mean honey?" Kagome asked.

"He has white hair and long nails like Iza do, so we the same?"

"Uhhh…" Kagome said not sure how to answer.

"Yep we're the same Iza." Inuyasha spoke up.

"Then Inu is Iza's friend?" Iza asked getting off her mother and crawling the short distance between her and Inuyasha.

Kagome looked at her daughter and the man that helped create her. She decided now was the time to tell Izayoi.

"Iza, I would like to let you know something."

Izayoi nodded and then climbed into Inuyasha's lap so she could see her mother.

"Iza remember when Mommy talked about you're papa?"

"Yep, Mama said Papa lived a long way aways and would come home very soon. Iza member."

"Well sweetie…Inuyasha is Papa."

"Inu Papa?" Iza said and turned her head to look at Inuyasha. "Inu papa!" She yelled and started crying. "Iza knew papa would come Iza knew!" She said as she hugged him again.

A/N: Well there is the next chapter. I hoped you liked it. If you're wondering why Iza took to Inuyasha so well it's because she is only four and the fact that she has never seen anyone else like her might help in the factor. Anyways if you're wondering Kagome had always told Izayoi that her father would come back so she has been waiting for him forever or at least two years. Anyways reviews please, and I will update. Until next time kiddies.
