Fire can refer to, Heat, anger, intensity, and need.

"My sons, you have finally found the answers,"

Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stood in silence. There, in front of them, was an image of their father, one Inuyasha had never met, and one Sesshomaru had not seen in many, many years. But soon, what they thought was just an image turned into, well, not an image. Their father stepped out and looked at both of his sons. "What is the meaning of this," Sesshomaru growled with anger.

"What, do you not find this amusing, my sons?" He asked, looking at both of them.

"No, I do not!" Inuyasha snapped, "Is this some kind of trick? Our father has been dead for years!"

"Be not a fool, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said,

Inu Tashio smirked and crossed his arms.

"Father, what is the meaning of this?" Sesshomaru asked, fixing his hard gaze on the man in front of him.

"Calm down; my reasons are my own, as you so often say,"

Sango, Miroku, and Kagome all had the same thought at the same time 'Yep, sounds like sesshomaru.'

"I would think my sons would be happy that I have returned,"

"And where are you returning from!" Inuyasha hissed,

"I am not dead, Inuyasha, nor was I."

Sesshomaru growled in annoyance.

"What, WHAT!" Inuyasha broke. "You mean to tell me you have been alive all this damn time!" He was seething.

"You left my mother alone!" Inuyasha added,

"Calm yourself, pup, your mother knew of this. I saw her and you often,"

"WHAT!" Inuyasha was now growling with his fist clenched.

"Calm yourself, or I shall calm you down myself," His father warned.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered, putting her hand on his shoulder, which he quickly shook off. Inu Tashio noticed her and pushed his son aside. He towered over her; he was so much taller than her. "You are Miko,"

Kagome looked around. "Who me?"

"Indeed,"

"Um, yes,"

"You are powerful for a woman."

Kagome blushed. "Um, thank you,"

Sesshomaru had enough. "Father,"

His father turned his site from Kagome to his elder son. "What is it,"

Kagome looked at him; he was handsome. Tall like Sesshomaru, with beautiful hair and markings. He stood like Inuyasha and had eyes that you could look at forever. "Do you not think we should speak of your trickery?"

"Indeed, we all do."

Inuyasha wanted nothing to do with this. He crossed his arms and turned his body away.

"Inuyasha."

"What?" He snapped.

"Miko," Inu Tashio said softly

Kagome blinked as she heard him speak again, his voice deep. "Yes?"

"Does he always speak this way?"

"Yep," She said flat,

"And, Miko, do you deal with it?"

"Sit."

BAM

"Thank you," His father said with a smirk, making Kagome blush. This man was intense.

"You're welcome," Kagome stated nervously. It's not every day your dead father comes back announcing that he wasn't actually dead.

So many questions, but the main thought was, how bad did it have to be for him to show up after all this time.
