Chapter 9: Why Dollface?
Hiruma age of nine...
"Yo, fucking Old Geezer! I knew it, you dirty old man, though I didn't expect you'd into loli," Hiruma cocked an eyebrow and motioned toward an arm size doll standing on his uncle's study desk. Eyeing the girly figure, he noted that it was not an ordinary piece and almost looked alive, because of its identical features to a human child.
"Watch your trap, pup. You see, your aunt's dying to have a baby girl. Yet fate decided not to give her any chance, for she's regrettably unfit to conceive after Inuyasha's. So I settled to adopt a certain lovely girl. I bet you'd, too, love her at first sight once you see her, and she's two years younger than yours." smirking, Toga Taishō fondly reminisced his particular blue, doe-eyed female child. "She's the only daughter of my already deceased best friend, a high-ranked American officer stationed in Japan. She got her father's eyes and sharp features. Izayoi had her miniature replica custom-made as a consolation, since she's still living with her mother, although she'd spend most weekends here. So, what brings you here, pup? Or should I say, how much was our last bet?" The Japan's IT tycoon stood from his chair and rounded the table, walking toward his nephew.
Hiruma snorted indiscreetly before cackling evilly, much to Toga's dismay - knowing full well what his grin meant, and shoving a paper on the desk. "YA-HA!" That was the fourth time he managed to outwit the CEO of Taishō Company on sport gambles, even though he had lost for about sixth time before. No matter, considering his opponent was a sly old dog, his record was quite a feat in Toga's opinion. Exiting his uncle's room, he already memorized each specific part of the enchanting figurine. He noticed that damned uncle of his, however, had forgotten to mention her name. Oh, hell, not like it mattered.
Hiruma age of eleven...
He met the eccentric girl every so often and felt rarely familiar by her looks. One day he met her by chance at his uncle's mansion when paying a visit on the weekend. Then it clicked into his mind where the familiar feeling of her came from.
"So you're the one being adopted by that fucking Old Geezer, huh?" Hiruma remarked offhandedly, seeing her in the room with Taishō's couple.
"Wh-? Hiruma?" She whipped her head, obviously started by his arrival.
"You have a fucking little dummy, y'know, that little fucking plastic one," He pointed to her way smaller synthetic copy. "You're a fucking Dollface! Kekekekeke!" He ruffled her hair, satisfied with the perfect nick name for her.
Dropping her jaw slightly and shaking her head, "You really are impossible." Soon after, she swiftly tackled him down the floor, leading her foster parents to shake their heads and laugh at their silly behavior.

AN: For your additional reference, first, Toga is obviously Sesshōmaru's dad, though they conducted their business in different field. Hence explained why Kagome called Sesshōmaru 'nīsan.' And yes, Hiruma is Sesshōmaru's cousin, also in this fic all are human raced.
