Journey of the soul
Chapter 4: Inuyasha and his baby
Inuyasha looked at the sobbing little girl hugging him. She was so small, so fragile, and he would do whatever he had to, to make sure she stayed safe.
"Iza is so happy Papa came back!" Iza said after pulling herself off of Inuyasha.
He smiled at the child, his child and then nodded.
"Of course I came back, I couldn't leave my Iza forever." He said in a very sweet voice which almost made Kagome bust up laughing.
She had never seen him like this before. He was Inuyasha, Mr. Half-demon warrior from the warring era of Japan. The same Inuyasha who had killed all the demons who tried to take the jewel shards on their journey, the same Inuyasha who claimed that mushy stuff and feelings were just for women. Now that same Inuyasha was smiling, cooing, and overall being a big softy towards the small little girl who was his daughter. To Kagome it was so cute it was funny. She couldn't help but grin and stifle a giggle.
"Whats that smile for Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he played some sort of game Iza made up with his and her hands.
"Nothing, you just…oh it's…" she paused thinking. "Your being so, well nice." Kagome explained.
"So?"
"It's just you were never so sweet, to anyone…ever." Kagome explained.
"That's because I couldn't be, if I was nice to people, especially you it would make you be nice to me, and then I would be distracted by your kindness and a demon could hurt you." Inuyasha said.
"So that's why you were never really nice to me?" Kagome asked. "Well at least not that often."
"I was nicer to you then anyone else." Inuyasha defended himself.
Kagome stood and crossed her room to the window that Inuyasha used to come through to get her.
"I know, I wasn't trying to offend you." Kagome said with her back turned.
Izayoi looked up at her mother and frowned.
"Mama?"
"Hmm, what is it baby?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha looked at the two with their backs turned to him, a small child with long white hair standing next to a human woman with long black hair.
"You remind me of my mother and me, when I was still small." Inuyasha said out of nowhere.
Kagome turned and raised an eyebrow. "Is that a good thing?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, because my mother was the only person I ever loved besides you and now Iza," Inuyasha said lying down and putting his hands behind his head.
He stared at the ceiling and closed his eyes remembering his own mother before she was taken by that illness. With his eyes closed, he smiled just as Iza began to crawl up his body when she rested on his chest she put her head down and closed her blue eyes.
"What is she doing?" Inuyasha asked opening one eye and peeking at the small girl on his chest.
"Taking her daily nap." Kagome said. "She's already asleep."
Inuyasha smiled, "Oh, okay." He said and closed his eyes. "I think I'll just lay her for a little while then." He said.
Kagome smiled and walked over to her daughter, leaning down she kissed the girl on her forehead, and when she stood up to leave Inuyasha reached out and grabbed her wrist. In a flash she was kissing him too. After he released her she didn't say anything to him she just walked out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen.
Kagome walked down to the kitchen where Sota sat with her mother, they were drinking tea as she entered the room.
"Kagome, sweetie how are you doing?" Her mother asked as she grabbed a tea cup and poured some of her mother's home mad mix into the glass.
"I'm fine, I mean He came back to me." Kagome said sipping the hot drink. "Just like he promised right?" She asked.
Kagome's mom nodded. "Then why do you sound so unsure of yourself?"
"I don't know, It's just this is so sudden. I mean one day I was single, and now technically by yourkai law I am married."
Kagome's mother giggled slightly. "You're not married dear, those laws may have been active back then, but these days things are a bit different."
Kagome shook her head. "Yes, I suppose your right." She replied sitting next to her mother.
"So what are you planning to do?" Sota asked.
"Well Inuyasha said he had no way to get back to the past so I suppose I need to introduce him to the future, I mean yeah he knows some of the basics from what I have already told him, but he'll need new cloths, he'll need to learn how to use our money system, how to read and write things in this era and not just what his mother taught him back then. Things are different now, I just don't know how well he'll adapt." Kagome said a little worried about teaching him the ways of the future.
"Well he must have had to had some idea about adapting when he jumped in that well right?" Sota asked.
Kagome again nodded sipping her tea. "He's sleeping with Iza right now."
"Well when he gets up dear, we'll take him shopping for some new cloths." Kagome's mom said with a smile.
Kagome looked to Sota, and grinned. "Sota, your about his size why not lend him some of your cloths for when we go shopping?"
Sota nodded. "No problem." He said.
Kagome smiled as she took another sip of tea, in her head she was imagining Inuyasha in modern clothing and that just sent her into a fit of laughter.
A/N: Wow, that was short, and it took a long time. Sorry! Anyways I think it will be interesting, Inuyasha getting used to life in the modern era…hehehehe. Okay well read and review or Iza will cry and we don't want that do we?
