After Kagome was in the hospital for two days she was allowed to leave. She was told to lift nothing up and take it easy for a few weeks. She was glad to get out but was quite upset to hear that Azami went back to her father, according to Yasha he wasn't talking to her but he saw her around school so she knew the girl was fine for now.

That night everything seemed back to normal except Yasha started to get more of a 'teenage attitude' since he stopped talking to Azami.

Yasha sat in the living room watching a movie he grew to love, 'The quest for Camelot.' He sat there eating his popcorn while his mother was in the kitchen doing whatever she was doing. He was sneaking Shiho a few bites of popcorn during the movie as an enticement to make her want to stay on the couch with him. "Phone" he yelled then the phone started to ring. He was always able to tell when the phone would ring before it even started.

"Got it." Kagome yelled from the kitchen as she walked into the hallway to see Shiho on the couch, "Hun get the dog off the couch and don't give her popcorn, I told you that is bad for her." Kagome told Yasha as he made Shiho lay on the floor. "Thanks." Kagome smiled as she grabbed the phone, "Hello?...Hey, yeah just sitting around doing some dishes…I am doing a lot better now that I am out of the hospital...is that so?" Yasha heard her giggle. He knew who it was, it was Hai. He knew because his mother always had a school girl like giggle whenever she talked to him. Yasha rolled his eyes as he made a motion with his hand allowing Shiho to jump back on the couch as he hand her another bite of popcorn. "Sorry about having to cancel our date for Saturday. Yeah, we can do something tonight."

Finally his favorite song in the movie came on.

"I want to live my life
The way you said I would
With courage as my light
Fighting for what's right."

"Yeah I think we can do something." Kagome said laughing. Yasha rolled his eyes trying to listen to the music.

"Like you made me believe I could

And I will fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings"

"Of course Yasha will be fine with coming over to see you with me. He is just watching a movie right now." She laughed as Yasha grabbed the remote and turned up the volume. He slipped another piece of popcorn to Shiho as the song progressed.

"This world I'll never see
My dreams that just won't be
This horse's stride
with one days ride
Will have covered more
distance than me"

"We can probably be over there in an hour and a half. Give or take when I can get off the phone and get Yasha ready." Yasha turned up the television more. It was now too loud for him but he just didn't feel like hearing his mother talking to Hai right now. Shiho watched the movie as if she understood the song playing.

"But I will fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings"

"Hold on one second." Kagome said into the phone before yelling, "Yasha turn that down." Yasha grabbed the remote turning it down.

"Yes, your royal highness." He whispered knowing she wouldn't hear him as he threw the remote back on the table as he sunk into the couch and crossed his arms. "Get hurt two days ago and you all of a sudden think that you rule the world." Shiho looked up at him whimpering. "Here." He said handing her the whole bowl of popcorn. Shiho looked at the bowl of popcorn then back at Yasha as she whimpered again. "Can't everyone be quiet during a movie?" he grumbled to Shiho. Shiho winced back as she ate a few bites out of the bowl.

"Someday with his spirit to guide me
And his memory beside me
I will be free to fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings "

Yasha wanted to be that main character, she was free, she didn't have to worry about her mother dating and talking on the phone. This woman got to run with the horse she owned and live outside the whole day. She even got to know her father when she was little. Yasha sighed; he wanted to know his father just for a small bit, just to be able to talk to him would be a blessing to him. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't take my anger on you." He whispered to Shiho. Shiho looked from the bowl up at the door as Kagome came in holding the phone in her hands.

"Clean up Yasha, we are going over to Hai's for dinner." Kagome smiled at him.

"I want to stay here with grandma." He said in a hugh.

"Come on you have seen this movie a billion times and Hai invited you. He said he had something he wanted to give you. I know this is your favorite movie but you can stop it for a few hours." Kagome smiled. "Besides you haven't seen his apartment yet."

"And you have?" Yasha asked.

"Once but only when I went to see him for a few seconds. Come on, you will like it. It looks a lot like your room." Kagome smiled at him. "And get Shiho off the couch for the last time."

"Fine. Shiho get off." Yasha sighed getting up to put his dishes in the sink, Shiho jumped off the couch to follow Yasha. "Will it only be a few hours?" he asked as he threw the rest of the popcorn away Shiho picked up a few pieces that fell on the floor then went over to her water bowl as she lapped some water.

"Don't let Shiho eat that popcorn, it will ruin her dinner."

"No it won't." Yasha said. "Will we only be a few hours?" he asked from earlier.

"Yeah, only long enough for us to eat and maybe watch a movie, nothing else." Kagome said putting the phone into its charger.

"Fine." He whispered going to get changed.

"Oh and bring down the fire rat kimono I took in for you. Hai wants to see it. He is into a lot of feudal era type things."

"Fine." Yasha said as he went into the room. He put on a new shirt that he knew his mother would approve of and his jeans had a few rips but were fine. He grabbed the fire rat kimono that his mother took in for him. The same one his mother said that his father wore. Yasha put on the upper portion of it on as he went into the bathroom and checked the mirror. It seemed so baggy on him but he loved the feel of it. Yasha wrapped it around him just as his mother had shown him too. He didn't know why it was called the fire rat kimono, he figured the fire was because it was red but why a rat? He made a karate stance imagining how someone would prepare for a fight.

"Come on Yasha." Kagome yelled up the stairs.

"Coming." Yasha yelled as he took it off and ran down the stairs with it in his hands. They jumped in the car and were on there way.

Kagome parked outside of the apartment building. Yasha looked up at it, "What floor is he on?"

"Level five." Kagome said.

"Really?" Yasha asked as he got out to look up at the building.

"Yes." Kagome said as she brought her son in.

They went into an elevator; Yasha had never been in one as he looked around and smelt the odd smells that were around it.

"What did I tell you?" Kagome asked.

Yasha straightened from sniffing the elevator, "Don't do that in public." He whispered.

"Yes, we don't need people thinking you are weird." Kagome said laughing.

"Sorry, it is something I do without thinking." He whispered. The elevator opened as Kagome and Yasha walked out, "Which door?"

"Number fifty." Kagome told him as he walked besides her looking at each number they stopped at the door marked fifty.

Kagome knocked as they heard someone say, "One second." Before they knew it the door was being opened.

Yasha walked in, he couldn't believe it, it was like his room but it had a lot more stuff from the past. He walked around looking at all the neat little collectibles.

"Do you like it?" Hai asked as he took Kagome's coat to hang up.

"It's amazing." Yasha whispered.

"Let me have your coat." Hai said grabbing it from him.

Yasha walked into the main room to see several old weapons hanging around. He touched them making sure this was real.

"I have something for you." Hai said smiling as he handed Yasha something wrapped. "Go ahead open it."

Yasha opened it to reveal a chain scythe. "What is it?" he asked.

"It is a replica of something used in the feudal era. Your mom said that you collect a lot of feudal era things and I saw this the other day in an antique shop and thought of you." Hai said smiling to Yasha. "I have one similar to that which was passed down in family. It has been passed down in my family for two hundred years."

"Thank you." Yasha said not knowing what he should say to a gift like this, other than his mom no one gave him gifts that had to do with the feudal era. He was surprised Hai even knew what was in the feudal era.

"I thought you would like it, I do a lot of research for the feudal era on my spare time."

"You do?"

"Yeah, I have a lot of books on it in my other room if you ever want to read up on it."

"Thanks."

"There is a legend behind the chain scythes." Hai told him.

"Yes, I have read them all." Yasha said. "My mom used to read them to me when I was younger."

"You did?" he asked Kagome.

"Yes, the main was about the young demon slayer and her brother. Her brother had a chain scythe but he was killed tragically." Kagome told him.

"I never heard that one." Hai told her.

Kagome laughed, "Yes, well it seems like the best one to tell a small child."

"Well let's here it while we have dinner." Hai said as he went to his living room as Yasha and Kagome were seated Hai brought out steaming lasagna. "I hope you guys like Italian." He said as he put it down.

"Who doesn't?" Yasha said ready to eat. He loved anything with pasta. His mom told him it was because his body burned up so many calories that he had to eat more. Whatever it was, he loved food.

Hai laughed as he scooped food out food on each plate. "Alright, now lets hear that tale." He said as they all started to eat.

Kagome started in on her tale about the siblings as Hai listened intently. Yasha knew the story from heart; he knew all her feudal era stories from heart, the half demon and the priestess who think they betrayed each other, the demon slay siblings, the monk who bore a wind tunnel in his hand and tons more. For the first time, he felt like he had a family. For some reason, he felt like everything was as it should be all throughout dinner.

Then they went to watch the movie in the living room and he felt like everything was different. His mother had been leaning on Hai the whole time as Yasha sat on the other side sighing as he watched some stupid love movie. Now life sucked…

When the left Yasha was glad to leave, how can a really good dinner turn into him wanting to leave as fast as possible?

As they got into the car Kagome was smiling as they drove off, "Well that was nice of Hai to get you that gift." She said to her son.

"Yeah." Yasha sighed.

"We are going to go on a date one of your school nights, so grandma will be watching you."

"That's fine." Yasha whispered.

"So you will have to do what grandma says."

"I know." Yasha whispered.

Kagome smiled, "Thanks for understanding Yasha, remember I will always love you and no one can replace you." Kagome told her son.

"I know." He said while thinking, 'It isn't me I am afraid you will replace. It is dad, I am afraid you will forget about.'

"I was thinking of going to the feudal era in a few weeks. Would you like to go?"

"What happened to our all month thing?" Yasha asked.

"We will end up doing it. I just want to wait right now…a few things came up."

Yasha glared at his mother, he was glad it was dark and she couldn't tell. "What things?"

"You will understand when you are older." Kagome said laughing, "But I promise that I will take you over there for a month soon enough. Don't worry."

"Yeah sure." Yasha whispered looking outside. They both stayed silent all the way home. Yasha went to bed as soon as they went home leaving Kagome to ponder about her son and wondering if she really was making the right decisions. She sighed, "I wish you were here to help me raise our son." she whispered picking up the picture of her and Inuyasha on her computer desk.

She looked at Shiho coming over before tearing up and running to her room, closing the door behind her. She couldn't help it, she still missed Inuyasha and wondered herself if she was trying to replace him with Hai. Maybe she was trying to make herself feel better. That night Kagome cried herself to sleep as Shiho slept right outside her door.

There you go! I have my spring break this week so I might be able to put up one more chapter quickly! I won a chili cook off! Now I am a two year champ =D
