Omg! Ok. So it's been a LOOOONNNGGG time since my last update and I apologize for that. Things have been way too crazy. I got in a car crash, and then I had to go and take car of my aunt with my mom.

“BLAH!” -talking

`blah!' - thinking

 

 

 

RECAP!!!!

Kagome dropped the bag she had in her right hand and brought her hand to her mouth. “What….what are you doing here?”

END RECAP!!!!

 

 

A Father's Love:

 

“Why Kagome, I thought you'd be happy to see me. I'm hurt. And after all I've done for you.” The man finished with a mocking sad sigh as he shook his head

 

“Of….of course I'm happy to see you, father.” Kagome said with a nervous smile. She lowered her hand slowly to its resting place at her left side. “I was just a bit shocked to see you after all these years.” Her body started to shake un-noticeably to the common eye. The man, however, was anything but common and saw the slight shake her form was succumbing to.

 

The man slowly and gracefully stood to his impressive height of 6'3. He looked down at the misleading fragile form of the young girl he thought of as his daughter. He locked his sad eyes on her worried glowing blue ones. He took a slight step closer and stopped at her timid step back. “Yes, it has been a while. I have missed you young one.” He said as he raised his right hand as if to touch her shaking form, but let it sagely drop to his side.

 

Kagome lowered her head and stared with a tortured soul at the blank tiled floor. Her voice cut through the silence of the suddenly dreary room. She spook with a broken, yet demanding and strong tone. “Why? Why have you come? Were you sent to finish the failure my death has become? Are you here to torment me more? I know who did this to me. I have kept it from Inuyasha. But seeing you here now makes it all so clear. You know now how my father has passed, do you not? You know it was I who had completed the much deserved deed.” She finished with such a small voice, had the man not been a youkai he would have never heard the sound of her heart breaking with each word spoken. (HA HA! I bet I scared some of you. You probably thought that was her REAL dad….but no. He's not in the story…at least not yet. MWA HA HA!)

 

Un- fortunately he was a youkai and he heard every piece of her heart drop. It made him want to die for how much pain she was in. If only he could heal that pain, he would die for that. He would die to end her torment. But the fates were not so kind as to let it be that simple. This pure creature was doomed to never escape her personal hell. She would never be saved. It tore him to shreds. “No, I have not come to do any of the vile actions you accuse me of. And I have known how your father had perished from the day I got rid of his body.” The man in black spoke in a soft voice as if trying to tell her he meant no harm.

 

Kagome's body went rigid as this new information clawed its way into her blocked mind. `He knew it was his body! He knew all along! Then why….why did he not kill me then? Is he toying with me?' Kagome slightly raised her head to look once again into the eyes who had loved her for so long. She knew he was here to kill her. She also knew she would not hurt him. He would succeed this time around. She would be dead when he left this room. “So, you were toying with me all this time? You never cared did you? I was just another job? Tell me, how much does my head run for around the black market these days, two million, three million perhaps? I doubt you'd make it so personal if it were any less than that. Although, I am surprised you would settle for that for what is it now….a year and half of watching over me? You would pretend to love someone as your daughter for that long for that little amount of money? Wow, you really are slipping Yuki.” She said with painful malice clinging to every harsh word.

 

Yuki's eyes sadden far more that they were seconds ago. `She thinks it was me who did this to her?' Yuki let out a distressed sigh and took a step back. He looked pleadingly into her shattered orbs and knew he would get no love from them again. “No.” He whispered into the dimming room. All this pain made even the bright sun get enveloped in the dark-ness of their hearts. “I didn't come to kill you Kagome. You should know me better that to think such horrendous thoughts about me. I have never hurt you and I am not about to start”

 

Kagome let a dark chuckle pass her locked lips as her eyes darkened. “Oh, but you have hurt me, or have you forgotten? You left me Yuki. You left me cold and alone with fear and pain flowing through my cursed veins. You died in my eyes that day. You became one with my father. My hatred towards you never came though, and that is something that has never ended to boil my blood. Why can I not hate you for what you have done? What can I not hate you for what you didn't? It stabs at the back of my heart every day. Why? One question everyone asks but no one bothers to answer. Well, I think you should be the first to answer. Why?” Kagome said as the sting of dried tears reeked havoc on her abused eyes. She knew tears would not fall. She knew she was too far lost to let them.

 

Yuki took a step forward but stopped his foot from hitting the floor at the sudden flare of miko energy filled the air. He moved his hovering right foot back to its original position and took another step back. “Kagome, please, please just listen to me. I had no choice but to leave you behind. I did only what I could to ensure your safety. I had no intention of causing the pain you now feel. I would never imagine of doing such a thing to the one I love as my daughter.” He tried to explain to the seething miko.

 

Kagome's aura flared to a level she had only accomplished once before. It was the time the very youkai before her had trained her. Also unknowingly she placed a barrier around them. Something in her told her things were about to get messy. `At least he was good for something.The very thing he taught me to control will come back to bite him in the ass.'She took a steady step forward as her eyes flashed a dangerous pink. “Don't. Don't you dare say such a thing to me. I am no longer your daughter. The love of a daughter you had died along with the rest of my heart the day you left me. The only reason I am a little happy now is because I have again found the one person who would never even dream of hurting me in such a way. Inuyasha brought me back from the hell you and my father put me in. Now answer the question!”

 

Yuki's heart broke at her confession. The worst part was that he knew what she said was true. He had regretted the decision he had made the second he had turned his back to her. He knew he deserved every stabbing word she could ever say, but that didn't numb the pain any. No, it made it worse. “I'm sorry. Leaving you was the worst decision of my life. I wish I could take it back, but the damage has been done. You just don't understand the motive behind my actions. You don't know the grief I went through from the second my back was turned to you. I regret it with all that I am, but I can not change my past actions. I wish I could, but I can not.”

 

“I don't understand your grief!? No, you're right, I don't. But I do understand my own grief, and I can assure you it's far greater than yours.” Kagome said as her aura flared once again.

 

Yuki sighed as he let his head drop. “Will you allow me to explain my actions?” He asked in a hollow voice.

 

“I am breathless to hear it.” Kagome said in a sarcastic tone as she let her aura drop a few notches.

 

“I deserved that as well. I will start out with Informing you that you are wrong. It was not I who poisoned you.” Yuki said standing up straight again. When he saw her open her mouth to protest to his only truth-full words he was fast to cut her off. “It wasn't. I do know, however, who it was. We will get into that later though. The reason behind me leaving you was the only desire to protect you. Somehow someone found out it was you that had killed Kio. I do not know how they had figured it out, but they had. They were after you. They had many plans developed simply for your demise. My investigating team had informed me of their plans only a day before I made the decision that would haunt me for the rest of my natural life. The decision to protect you by any means necessary. They had found out I took you in after your father's death and were coming after you. I had to do something, and do it fast. I had no alternative options. I knew what I had to do, and I did it. Even if it meant losing the love you had for me. I knew it was all worth it for your life. I love you kagome, I do. What I did can have no way of being erased, but it still had to be done. Once they had finally been taken out to ensure your safety I came looking for you, but could find no clues. Then one day while watching T.V. During breakfast I saw you on the news. They had no name, but the name of Inuyasha. I had recognized that name from the stories you had shared with me. I knew it was you by your face. I would never forget the face of my daughter. Not in a million years. So I did some research and found out you were brought here to be healed. I came as fast as I could. I lived so close to you all the time, but never knew. I wanted to beat myself for my own ignorance. Than on the way here it hit me, if I had figured out it was you, so could anyone else. That could cause problems. I knew than I had to get here as fast as I could. I have to protect you. I won't leave you, Kagome, never again. Please, forgive me for what I have done. I had no other options at the time. I'm sorry my daughter. I truly am.” Yuki finished his heartfelt story with his head down. His head snapped up when he felt all of Kagome's miko powers recede. He looked at her with apologetic eyes.

 

Kagome's head was dropped. Her eyes hidden from prying eyes. If you looked close enough you would see one crystalline tear make its path down her pale cheek. `He did it all to protect me? He did this all knowing the pain it would cause him. He lived in agony as long as I had. He felt my pain. He did it all for me. NO! It's a trick. He's a liar! He doesn't care for me! He never has! If he did he would not have left me like he did. No! He's liar.'Kagome kept her head down as she lat out a whisper that grew into a yell. “I don't believe you. I don't believe you! I don't believe you!! I DON'T!!!” Her eyes snapped shut as her aura flared to new levels.

 

“Kagome…please. Please believe me. Kago…..” yuki tried to reason with her as he took steps backwards.

 

“NO! I won't fall for lies! Not again! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!” She yelled as she clenched her fists.

 

“Please….” Yuki pleaded with stinging eyes. He did not want to lose his daughter.

 

“I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!”

 

Yuki was panicking. He knew she was not yet trained to her full potential and the level of miko energy she was releasing could kill the part of her she had yet to know about, killing her along with it. He would not let that happen. He took a deep breath and without another thought ran straight towards her. He winced at the searing pain that was currently ripping through him from her power, but kept going. He had to stop her before it was too late. He crossed the distance in a few seconds and tackled Kagome to the ground. He twisted in mid air to keep her from taking the force of the fall. He landed on the innocent tiled floor with a grunt. His arms tightly wrapped around her form burned with the energy she was still giving off. “KAGOME! Stop this! You will only hurt yourself this way. You must stop at once, Please! Please stop! I'm sorry! I love you with my whole heart, but I will not let you harm yourself over such a thing. You must believe me! Why would I lie to you now? You have nothing I want! If I wanted to kill you, I simply would pull a trigger. You know this more that most. Please, don't so this!” Yuki pleaded as the pain became unbearable and he let out a growl of pain.

 

Kagome had not heard one word that had passed his lips. She had not understood a single letter uttered. The thing that made her calm instantly was the pain-filled growl that came from him. She stilled in his arms and listened to his labored breathing. Her miko powers also receded as she calmed causing the barrier she un-knowingly created dissolve as well. Tears came to her eyes as she re-called what he had said. He was right; there was no point to lie. She believed him. She always had a good sense when it came to lies, and she sensed nothing but truth from her father figure. Kagome tightly closed her eyes to block off he tears that were savagely ripping their way out of her eye lids. She heard Yuki's breathing become stable and slowly opened her eyes to look into the pleading eyes of her father figure. The tears she kept locked away broke the chains of numb-ness and flooded down her no longer bruised cheeks. She tightly wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face into his chest in attempt to get some comfort. “I'm sorry, so sorry.” She whispered from his chest.

 

Yuki was all too glad to give her the comfort she seeked. He tightened his arms around her and let a smile grace his now softened feature. “No need, young one. No need at all.” He whispered back as he racked his claws through her night tresses in a comforting fashion.

 

“You know I hate it when you call me that.” Kagome said

 

“Yes, yes I know.” Yuki said with a smile

 

“You never change do you?” She asked with a playful tone

 

“Haven't yet.”

 

Kagome let out a soft laugh. She then let go of her hold as he did his. She gently got off him and stood up as he did the same. They looked at each other for a long time before smiling and giving each other a warm embrace. Father and daughter once again reunited.

 

Kagome stepped out of the tender embrace and looked at him with a serious face. “Who was it?” She asked bluntly

 

“Who was who, kagome?” Yuki answered innocently

 

“You know what I'm talking about. Who was after me?” kagome asked again with barley restrained annoyance.

 

Yuki let out a sigh. “You know I can't tell you that.”

 

“You mean you WONT tell me that.” Kagome said in a dead pan voice.

 

“Precisely.” He said in a smug tone.

 

Kagome took a step forward and grabbed his bangs with her right hand and tugged them. “Tell me now.” She grounded out never relenting her hold.

 

He winced in slight pain. “Kagomeeeee! That hurts!” he whined.

 

Kagome let an evil smirk pass her lips as she simply said. “It's meant to.”

 

Just then Inuyasha burst out from the bathroom with a loud growl and quickly looked around the room for intruders. His eyes landed on kagome and a strange man dressed in black. The thing that made him stop growling was the look of pain on the man's face and the evil tint in Kagome's eyes.

 

Both kagome's and Yuki's eyes snapped to Inuyasha as soon as he came out of the door. Yuki winced in even more pain as the turn pulled more on his hair. Kagome gave Inuyasha a bright smile and Yuki gave him a pleading one.

 

Inuyasha stared at the scene with humor and confusion lacing his eyes. He locked eyes with kagome and cleared his throat. “Uh, Kagome? Who's this guy?” he asked in confusion. He took a couple steps towards the couple.

 

“Hey Yasha. Who's this guy?” She asked as she tugged a little on yuki's hair causing Yuki to wince. Inuyasha nodded with a twinkle of humor in his eyes. “Well, This is Yuki. My father figure.” She answered simply

 

“Oh the one who….” Inuyasha stopped mid sentence wondering whether he should or should finish his question.

 

Kagome nodded. “Yup, this is him.” She than looked back to Yuki and pulled some more on his hair. “Tell me.”

 

“I can't…” He got cut off by his daughter

 

“You mean you won't.” she interjected

 

“As I was saying, I won't tell you. It's over with now and is no longer of any importance.” He said smugly

 

“Don't talk to me in that smug tone of yours Yuki!” She chastised

 

Yuki looked over to Inuyasha who was watching them trying no to laugh. He locked eyes with Inuyasha and mouthed `HELP ME!” to him. Inuyasha lost it then and started laughing so hard he had to put a hand on his stomach to stop the pain. “NOT FUNNY!” Yuki yelled at him.

 

“Oh, But it is. If only you could see your face.” Inuyasha said while continuing to laugh.

 

“Yeah, well, wait until it happens to you. Then we'll see who's laughing.” He bit out.

 

“I will be. Now, please tell me.” Kagome said

 

“I can't. I won't. It's all in the past now Kagome. Can't you just let it go for the time being and relish your time with you loving father?” Yuki asked in a sugar coated voice.

 

“Loving.” Kagome scoffed. “My ass.” She said letting his hair go.

 

“Well, that wasn't very nice.” Yuki said standing to his full height and looking down at kagome.

 

“Wasn't it though?” Kagome asked with sweet-ness covering her words.

 

“Haven't changed I see.” He said with a smile

 

“Never.” Kagome replied. She turned to Inuyasha and opened her mouth to explain what had gone on right when there was a short nock on the door. Kagome looked confused when it hit her. She had ordered food. Kagome skipped happily towards the door chanting Mountain dew over and over in her mind. The word food thrown into the mix every once in awhile.

 

Yuki and Inuyasha stared strangely after her and then realized the reason she was suddenly so happy. They both looked at one another and muttered on word at the same time. “Food.”

 

Kagome opened the door and smiled brightly at the cart holding her precious cargo. She looked up at the shaking man and said. “Thank you oh so very much. This looks great!” She than grabbed the cart and pulled it back into her room. She didn't notice the man running down the hallway as fast as he could. She was humming a happy tune as she lat the door close behind her and her food. She pushed the cart right over by the table in the room and got out the plates with the food on them and silver ware that were on the cart. She set up two spots, one for her and the other for Inuyasha. She also got the toast, butter, and jam out as well. Lastly she set out the napkins. She smiled at her handy work and sat down. Just then the thought hit her. “OH NO! Yuki I'm so sorry. There's nothing for you. I can go order more if you'd like.” She said apologetically. She looked up at yuki and saw a happy smile settle on his handsome features.

 

“There are three plates.” He said as he looked at her funny

 

“Inuyasha's a pig.” She said simply

 

Yuki let out a laugh and shook his head.

 

Inuyasha grunted and said in a rough tone. “You can have the second plate.”

 

“That's very sweet of you Inuyasha.”

 

“Keh!” He responded, turning away from her with his arms crossed in-front of his chest.

 

“Awww. Is puppy angry?” kagome said in a baby voice as stood up from her chair and walked towards him.

 

Inuyasha let out a light growl.

 

“Oh come on Inuyasha. Don't be a grumpy Gus.” Kagome said as she stood in front of him.

 

Inuyasha simply grunted and turned his back to her. He was now facing Yuki. Yuki looked behind him with humor shinning in his bright eyes. Inuyasha became worried and mouthed WHAT?

 

Yuki looked back at Inuyasha with a smile and mouthed back BAD MOVE.

 

Kagome stood behind Inuyasha with mischief glowing darkly in her deep eyes. She slowly reached her hands up to his ears and tweaked them. She smiled broadly when he purred at the contact.

 

Inuyasha noticed to late what she was going to do and let a purr escape his fanged mouth. He than grabbed her hands and swung he around in front of him so she faced him, enjoying the squeal of surprise she gave. He looked into her eyes seriously and said “I am seriously considering having you de-clawed.”

 

Kagome stuck her tongue out at him and pouted.

 

“Oh, believe me I've tried. It's not an easy thing to accomplish.” Yuki said with humor in his voice.

 

“I bet.” Inuyasha answered with a laugh

 

“I've even tried getting her neutered, but the chloroform didn't last long enough.” Yuki said with a chuckle

 

Inuyasha laughed as kagome snapped her hands out of his and turned on her heal and stomped towards Yuki with a glare and smacked hid upper arm. “MEAN! You said you wouldn't tell!”

 

Inuyasha stopped laughing abruptly at that and stared strangely at the two. Suddenly they all burst out laughing.

 

Kagome whipped the tears from her eyes (from laughing too much) when a thought came to her. She jumped up and down and ran to the cart next to the table. She opened the cart door and let out squeal at what she saw inside.

 

The two men looked on with questions filling their eyes. Then they saw Kagome pulls out three green bottles and a sense of dread filled the both. They looked at one another and muttered “Oh crap.”

 

Kagome turned around at that and saw their worried filled eyes fixed on the bottles of Mountain Dew. She let out a sigh. “Oh come on guys. I'm not that bad. I've learned to control my Mountain Dew……problem over the years.” Yuki and Inuyasha looked and one another and back to her as if to say, “yeah right”. She stood up straight. “I HAVE! What!? I HAVE!!!”

 

Yuki and Inuyasha both took a step back, then another, and another. Kagome and Mountain dew was never a good combination. They could only imagine the hell they would be in for the next few hours.

 

 

WELL! That's all folks! Tee hee! I know, I know. You probably want to kill me. I'm sorry. You can kill me. Oh wait….you don't know where I live. MWA HA HA! You ain't got nothing! Well, I am sorry it took….forever to update….but I did and the next one will be much sooner. Please leave comments. I really need them.

Thank you for the support….even if I am the worst updater ever.

 

Preview for chapter 9!

 

Kagome looked sullen as she sat in the dark and life-less room. She looked up at the ceiling, not really seeing it, because it was too dark to. `I'm sorry Yuki and Inuyasha….but this was the only way to save you. Forgive me.' She than closed her eyes and succumbed to the dark-ness of her nightmares.
