Chapter 7: Like Father, Like Daughter

"Please please please please PLEASE?!" Kaira begged leaning further forward. "Alright! Fine! Just stop with the begging!" InuYasha consented reluctantly. 'YAY!' Kaira thought excitedly and ran forward, stopping right in front of InuYasha. Slow down girl, it's only dog ears. 'But they look so fuzzy!' She reached out a nervous hand and gently stroked his left ear. 'It IS fuzzy!' Congrats. The other voice said in a bored tone. Kaira ignored it and started rubbing the ear in a circular motion with her fingers.

InuYasha tried not to give into the pleasure he felt as Kaira rubbed his ear, but he couldn't help but start to growl contentedly. 'This is almost exactly how Kagome used to do it, when she wanted me to calm down . . .' he thought.

Kaira mistook his growl as anger and quickly withdrew her hand. "I-I'm sorry." she said, her bravery gone in a flash. She retreated a few steps backwards towards Shippo.

InuYasha snorted, a little upset that she had stopped rubbing his ear. "Keh, I said it was alright didn't I?" he said crossing his arms.

Kaira stared at him. If there was one thing she hated, it was when people were rude to her. . . . didn't stop her from being rude back though. "Jerk." she muttered sitting down and crossing her arms, looking away from InuYasha and sticking her nose up in the air. ((A/N: Remind you of anyone? Besides Kagome? XD))

InuYasha heard her. "DON'T YOU CALL ME A JERK! THAT IS NO WAY TO TALK TO YOUR FATHER!" he shouted at her.

Kaira got whiplash again as she spun her head to stare at InuYasha. She didn't hold her neck with her hand this time though, she was too shocked. Then she got angry. She stood up and glared at him. "THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY A JERK LIKE YOU IS MY FATHER!"

InuYasha cringed. The glare she was using was just like the one Kagome would give just before she would 'sit' him. Recovering quickly, he retorted, "OH THAT'S A NICE WAY TO THANK THE GUY WHO SAVED YOU FROM DEATH! AND THE GUY WHO SAVED YOU FROM THOSE PUNKS IN YOUR TIME!!"

"THAT WAS YOU?! WELL I NEVER SAID I NEEDED YOUR HELP! I WAS DOING JUST FINE ON MY OWN!!"

"YEAH RIGHT! WHEN I GOT THERE YOU WERE FUCKING UNCONCIOUS!!"

Shippo, Miroku, and Sango watched the shouting match between father and daughter. "She's definitely his daughter." Shippo said. "She certainly got his mouth." Miroku added. "And his stubbornness." Sango finished. Then all three of them sighed. This seemed like it could last all day.

"OOH! YOU ARE SUCH AN INCONSIDERATE JERK!" Kaira yelled as she stepped on his foot. Hard. And she was wearing shoes. InuYasha had none.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He held his foot hopping in place. But Kaira didn't hear. She had already stormed off. "If her scent wasn't what it was, I would say that she wasn't my daughter." InuYasha muttered darkly. The trio watching in the background sweatdropped.

Shippo decided that Kaira shouldn't really be left alone when she didn't know how to fight properly. "I'll go bring her back." he said and rushed after her without waiting for consent from the others.

"Like hell you will you little-" but InuYasha was cut short by Miroku's hand on his shoulder.

"InuYasha, I think you're the last person she wants to see right now. At least, until she cools off a little. Besides, judging from how we found them not too long ago, I'd say that Kaira trusts Shippo more than any of us." InuYasha grudgingly agreed and sulked up in one of the branches of the Sacred tree as he waited for Shippo and Kaira to return.

Kaira stormed angrily through the forest. 'Just where does he get off saying things like that?! He was so rude! No way is he my dad!' she kicked a small stone violently. And what about his doggie ears? You were so excited about them not too long ago. Her other voice teased. 'Shut up! Who cares how cute and adorable they are. It means nothing because he's a jerk!' I notice that you are refusing to use his name . . . 'So are you!' she countered. Touché.

Shippo found a fuming Kaira kicking a stone near the edge of the forest. He walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Oddly enough, she didn't jump. Almost like she already knew that he was there. "Kaira-san?" he asked hesitantly.

She turned and looked at him with a glare that sent shivers down his spine. Her eyes were flashing gold and he could almost see InuYasha in the glare she was sending him. 'She has TWO glares. That's scary.' he thought. "Leave me alone Shippo-kun." she said icily.

He took a few steps back and retracted his hand. "Kaira-chan, InuYasha cares about you. He just doesn't know how to show it. And when he's worried, he lashes out without thinking." he said trying to calm the girl down.

Kaira sighed. "I know but . . . " she sighed again and sat right next to a tree. "Hey Shippo?" she asked, there was something on her mind that was bugging her.

"Yeah?" Shippo said as he sat down against a tree across from her.

"Is it normal for half-demons to heal quickly?"

"Definitely. It's why they can live so long. Demons can heal even faster. There was this one time when InuYasha got a whole in his stomach, and the next day, it was just a scar." Shippo said excitedly. "Why do you ask?"

Kaira blanched. She stuck out her ankle. The one she had twisted not too long ago. "I just stomped all the way over here without my ankle hurting once." she said.
