As the years went by, Tsuki grew older and began to look more and more like her father. She had the same singing talents as her mother and shared that same passion for singing. Kagome received weekly visits from Sesshomaru to see how they were doing. Kagome had continued working at the pub shortly after Tsuki was born and was living her life to the fullest. Every now and then, Kagome would ask Sesshomaru about Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru would keep her informed of the activities going around the castle. Miroku and Sango were married and had two year old twins who would play with Tsuki while Kagome and Sango were working. Kagome knew that making friends would be hard for Tsuki because of her being a half demon, so she was glad to see that Sango's kids took a liking to her.

Many times, Tsuki asked Kagome where her father was. Kagome would simply answer that he was working and did not know when he would be coming back. It tore Kagome apart to have to lie to her daughter, but she could not think of anything else to say. She knew that she couldn't tell her the truth because that would make her feel as though Inuyasha abandoned her. She would rather have Tsuki believe that her father was a good man who was working to keep her and her mother safe.

One day, Kagome was working at the pub when Sesshomaru walked in.

"You know, if you keep coming here like that, people are gonna start to notice…" Kagome said.

"I've been coming here for six years and not once has anyone realized who I am." Sesshomaru replied. "So how is Tsuki?"

"She's doing alright… she keeps asking about Inuyasha…"

"She's just curious. I mean, wouldn't you be asking why everyone else had a father around and you didn't if you were her?"

"I kno… I just wish it didn't have to be this way…"

"Then why don't you tell her the truth?"

"You know why I can't do that… When she is older and can better comprehend it, I will explain to her why her father is never here." Kagome said.

Sesshomaru was about to speak when he heard singing outside. He looked at Kagome. "Tsuki?"

Kagome nodded and walked outside with Sesshomaru.

"All I have is a picture in my mind how it would be… if we were together…"

Kagome never heard this song before. But she had seen it written down on some random pieces of paper in Tsuki's room a few days ago. She just stood with Sesshomaru and continued to listen.

"Let's pretend that you're far away… Let's say you write to me… and you promise in your letter…"

Kagome noticed that Tsuki was holding what looked like a photograph. When she got a closer look, she realized that the person in the photo was Inuyasha. It was the only photo that she had given to Tsuki of him.

"That you'll come home… Come home to my heart… when you come home, we'll never be apart… If I keep dreaming of you… Start believing it's true… Soon you'll come home… Soon you'll come home… Soon you'll come home to my heart… If I believe…"

Kagome had tears in her eyes as she realized what the song was about. Tsuki really wanted Inuyasha to come home. She wanted to have her mother and father together with her.

Sesshomaru noticed the tears in Kagome's eyes. "You okay?" he whispered.

"Yea," Kagome said as she wiped her tears. "I'm fine."

Tsuki turned around and saw her mother and uncle Sesshomaru standing there. "Mommy? Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing honey… I'm fine…"

"Ok." Tsuki said as she hugged Kagome. "I miss Daddy…"

"I miss him too, Tsuki. I miss him too."

Sesshomaru watched as Kagome comforted her daughter. 'Inuyasha… If only you could see what you are missing out on…' he thought. 'They need you…'
