“You are Sakura-chan, right?”, Miroku asks again for his wife.

 

“Y-yes… I'm Sakura…”, she replies, “But how do you know who I am?”

 

“Come on inside and I'll explain”, Sango states, motioning them in.

 

“Okay…”, the teen reluctantly agrees, following the family into the compound, “You coming InuYasha?”, she questions, upon noticing that he wasn't coming along.

 

“Yeah, yeah…”, he grumbles, as the demon-cat; Kirara, nudges him forward.

 

“Hitomi, Yuki, Kei, don't you have some chores to finish?”, their mother warns, as she reaches the doorway of one of the buildings.

 

“R-right…”, they stammer before scattering in separate directions to elsewhere in the compound.

 

“I apologize if our children bothered you, Sakura-chan”, Miroku says, as he steps into the building after his wife.

 

“It's alright, I found it mildly amusing…”, she lightly chuckles, following him in.

 

“Please take a seat”, Sango offers, indicating to a pillow, “Would you like some tea?”

 

“Yes please”, she politely responds, as she kneels onto the cushion; even though she didn't act like a girl or like being treated like one, it did not mean she didn't know how to act like a lady with proper-manners, “InuYasha, why don't you come inside?”, she says, looking out the door at the bit of his red-sleeve that she could see as he leans against the outside of the house.

 

“Feh…”, he scoffs.

 

“I see InuYasha's still his sour-self…”, Miroku comments, “So tells us, Sakura-chan. Why are you here?”

 

“But what about how you know my name?!”

 

“I'm curious as to how you ended up here, Sakura-chan”

 

“Fine…”, she sighs, “My cousin's cat had wandered into the old well-house and he was too scared to venture inside to look, so I had to go in to search for her; despite the fact that it's was going to make me late for Karate-class, when the feline leapt onto my back and knocked me into the well. Only to awaken in this time, where I accidently released dog-boy there; who has lost a lot of his memories, from the seal my mother apparently put on him and when I tried to return home through well, I couldn't. So, the old woman; Kaede, told me that I should travel here with InuYasha to talk to; who I assume is the two of you, to hopefully regain his memories so I can go back home”, she explains, “And here we are”

 

“I see…”, Sango says, setting a cup in front of the girl.

 

“Thank you”, she states, “Now how the hell do you two already know my name?”

 

“Definitely her father's daughter…”, the monk mutters.

 

“Father's daughter…?”, she blinks, “You both knew my father?”

 

“Where to start?”, Sango ponders, “The truth of the matter is, you had been born here in this Era, Sakura-chan”

 

“W-what…?”

 

“In fact, I had been Kagome-chan's mid-wife the night you were born”, she continues, “Unfortunately, your birth did put a strain on our quest to collect the rest of the shards of the Shikon-jewel and killing the evil-demon; Naraku”

 

“Naraku?”, she confusedly asks.

 

“I wouldn't expect you to remember, you were only an infant at the time”

 

“So, did you manage to kill Naraku?”

 

“A matter of fact we did. You probably already know that we seceding in collecting all the shards”, Miroku answers.

 

“That much I do know”, she remarks, revealing the gem from within her kimono, “But, what about my father? All I know about him is that he left when I was only 6-months old...”

 

“Sakura-chan, it wasn't his decision to leave you and your mother”, Sango informs.

 

“Huh?”, she gasps, “What do you mean?”

 

“He had to leave, he was afraid that he would loss control of himself and kill you”, Miroku adds.

 

“Lose control of him…self…and kill me…?”

 

“Hmm?”, InuYasha murmurs, taking interest in the story as he quietly listens.

 

“T-tell me…”, Sakura stammers, as she picks up her tea and takes a sip in an attempt to calm her nerves as she digests the newly discovered-information, “Tell me, where is my father…? Who is my father?”, she desperately questions.

 

“He's always been close to you, by your side in fact…”, the monk states.

 

“Wha…?”

 

“Your father has been travelling beside you this whole time”, Sango informs, “InuYasha is your father…”

 

`WHAT?!', both Sakura and InuYasha mentally gasps in shock.
