AN: Hi everyone, I'm back! Sorry it took me so long. I got more reviews than I thought I would. Since so many of you asked me to update sooner, well I'll try. Yes, I know that the characters are ooc, but there is a good reason that you will find out at a later time. If I told, you know you would read the fic.

Inuyasha's Summer Vacation

Chapter 3 A voice from Inu' past

Sesshoumaru stood and offered Sumi his hand to help her stand.

"There is a portal of sorts right along the edge of the tree line of the forest. It can take me any where and any time I choose," he said as he led her to the main hall of his castle.

"So you mean that I can come here to go to where Inuyasha is to train him or would it be better if he where in my home?" Sumi's mind had not stopped working since she found out who he was. `I remember him for some reason,' she thought while Sesshoumaru continued the conversation with her. `But I just can't place it. Why is he so familiar?'

As they walked across the clearing, she saw Rin playing with Jaken. She had tried the small youkai to a tree with and apple on his head telling him not to move.

"If you move Jaken I might miss the apple. So if you don't want me to shoot you then stop squirming and be quiet." She took aim and shot the arrow at Jaken's head. Before Sumi could say anything the arrow went straight through the apple and whole tip of the arrow head was sunk into the tree. Jaken was speechless. After all he had not thought that she would let the arrow go, much less hit her mark. He just stood there, watched the girl smile, and notched another arrow.

"Rin enough," Sesshoumaru said as he walked closer to where she stood. "We will return shortly. I do not wish to see Jaken dead upon my return. He is to look out for you in my absence." He smiled at her slightly and continued on his way.

He stopped in front of the trees and turned to Sumi. "Are you ready to continue on? Don't worry about getting lost just to make sure that you come out at the same time as I do, you may hold on to my arm if you wish."

Sumi didn't say a word; she just nodded her head to acknowledge him. As he held out his arm to her, he started to change back into Kira Inutachi. She smiled, laid her hand on his arm and step forward with him into the trees.

Back to Kagome and Inuyasha

After getting over the shock of finding people in the house with them, they decided that now would be a good time to go exploring. Looking through all of the room upstairs and a high speed game of hide and go seek (of course with Inuyasha's nose and ears being covered to make it somewhat even) the two of them went down to lunch. As they reached the bottom of the grand staircase Cecil, walked up to them and said they would be having guests joining them for lunch and they could please follow him to the lanai. Both of them were curious as to who would know that they were there followed him without a word. Inuyasha

"Mistress Kagome and Master Inuyasha may I present to you Master Kira Inutachi Rumiko Tama (not very original, so sue me). Lunch will be served in fifteen minutes." With that said, he bowed and left. Sumi had been transformed so that Kagome and Inuyasha wouldn't recognize her. Both she and Sesshoumaru had there scents change because of Inuyasha's nose. Sesshoumaru didn't want to alert them to anything just yet if Inuyasha hadn't asked Kagome to be his mate yet. (If you want to know what Kira looks like, he looks like Inuyasha when human just a little older.)

"Mr. Inutachi, to what do we own this pleasant surprise? There's not a problem with us being here is it? My mom said that she made to arrangements for us to come Monday, but said that she would call to make sure that it would be alright if we can early."

"Iie, Kagome-chan, everything is fine. As a matter of fact we came to see if you were settling in ok." Looking at the two of them and trying to get a feel for the situation he asked' "so this is your fiancé, am I correct?" Kagome nodded and blushed as well as Inuyasha about fifteen new shades of reds, but that was enough for Kira and Rumiko (when they are in disguise I will use these names other than that I will call them by their real names. If this is too confusing for you, then please let me know, ok) to proceed with their plan `Operation Boot camp, Inu style'.

"Please excuse my manners, Inuyasha this is Kira Inutachi. He has been a long time friend of the family and one of the best lawyers in all of Tokyo. After dad died, he made sure that everything was taken care of with the funeral and with dad's company. Please wouldn't you sit down?" She smiled as he shook Inuyasha's hand. `Inuyasha seems to be alright with the fact that he is kind of in between transformations. I wonder if he going to be, ok.'

Inuyasha pulled out her chair for her and then took a seat beside her. He couldn't understand exactly why he was acting this way, but it seemed to be the right thing to do because Kagome would blush and smile every time he did something nice for her.

~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~

After breakfast he thought it would be nice to go for a walk in the wooded area behind the house. It was something they never got a chance to do in his time with out worrying about a demon trying to kill him or take the jewel from Kagome.

"Oi, Kagome would you like to go for a walk with me in the woods?"

"Sure Inuyasha and then we can look through the rest of the house."

Passing by a rose bush Inuyasha saw a beautiful rose that went from white, to pink to red on top of the flower.

"Kagome wait right here and close your eyes." He let go of her hand and walked toward the bush after making sure that she didn't peak

Not wanting to spoil his good mood, Kagome did as he asked. She thought as she tried to listen to everything around her for some type of clue as to what was going on. She smiled as she thought about the upcoming wedding. She was actually going to be with him for the rest of her life. She had only hoped and dreamed that he would want her, but for him to ask her and that her own mother had not said a word to her about planning any of it made her smile even more. It meant that her family had already accepted him for who he is just as she had. It wasn't until Inuyasha spoke to her did she know that he was back.

"Ok, Kagome you can open them now." He watched her face to see what kind of expression she had. This would let him know whether he had done some thing right or not.

"Oh Inuyasha it's beautiful," she said with tears in her eyes. He had made sure that all of the thorns had been striped away from the stem before he gave it to her. She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a big hug. He was so surprised that it took him a few seconds to react and then his arms flew around her waist as he held her to him and breathe in her scent. They stayed that way for a few minutes until he pulled back, took the flower and tuck it in her hair behind her right ear. He smiled down at her as he took her hand and they continued their walk.

~*~*~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~*~

Lunch was comprised of boiled rice, Wakame to tofu no Miso-shiru, and Nara-zuke (boiled rice, Miso soup with Wakame, Tofu, Scallions and sichimi), Sukiyaki (rice and stir-fried beef with veggies) and a pot of green tea. The group talked about nothing important while they enjoyed their lunch. Kira was watching the interaction between his brother and his soon-to-be mate. `At the stage they're on now it won't take the training too long, which is good.' After lunch, the men excused themselves to have a private talk.

Once they were far enough way from the women Kira turned to Inuyasha and asked him a few questions.

"Inuyasha do you love Kagome?"

Inuyasha was shocked that he would ask him such a question, but brushed it off as the man was just looking out for Kagome's welfare, sort of like a father figure.

"Hai, I do. With everything I have with in me."

"Would you die for her? Would you go through hell and back? Would you give up everything for her?"

"Hai, that and more anything to make sure that she was happy." The questions were starting to get to Inuyasha. It was one thing to be a family member and worry about her, but this man was only a friend. However, it was the next question that got his hackles up about the man.

"Inuyasha, did you not feel the same about Kikyo some fifty years ago?" As Kira turned to face Inuyasha, he dropped his disguise.

Inuyasha was too shocked to say any thing for a few minutes. Before him stood his brother, the man he had despised for years, the man who had tried to kill him, Kagome and the rest of his pack for the past three years. He wondered how it was possible for him to be here on this island with him. `Didn't I leave him in the past, but how?' Seeing that he needed to take control of the situation before it got out of hand, Sesshoumaru put his hand up as if to say I will answers all of your questions in a minute.

"Inuyasha how much do you remember of your mother?"

"Why and what does she have to do with anything?"

"Well I think you should read this letter first and then I'll start explaining."

Inuyasha took the letter from Sesshoumaru and opened it.

Dear Inuyasha,

If you are reading this letter, it means that you have found you life long mate. I know she is just a beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Inuyasha I have already seen her before I had you. She is just like you Inuyasha, but she does not know it. She will need you and Sesshoumaru to help her understand what is about to happen to her and her family. Have you met Sumi yet? I hope she has not changed tell her that I love her and miss her. She was my best friend. I know you do not understand any of this, but ask Sesshoumaru and then ask Sumi. Even Sesshoumaru does not know some things, contrary to popular belief. Take care of her, protect her and above of her love her, for she is the only one that will bring you true happiness. I love you my son and tell Kagome that I love her too.

Love and Kisses,

Namikki

He gave the letter to Sesshoumaru to read once he had read it through once more. Inuyasha couldn't believe what he just read and looked to Sesshoumaru for answers. Not sure, of what to believe he knew to that the letter was real, he could remember her handwriting. Turning wide eyes to Sesshoumaru, he spoke in a soft voice.

"Onegai, Sesshoumaru please tell me what do you know about all of this?"

Ok gang I have to leave you with a cliffhanger. Did you really think I was going to spill the beans just yet, PLEASE! I am still open for suggestions as to what direction I should go in. If any one wants to know yes, Kouga will be making an appearance as well as other characters. I would like to know if you would like me to continue with the next chapter titled Inuyasha Past or do you want to know more about Kagome. I'm going to post this chapter and then start working on the next two. I might just combine the two chapters, but if it turns out like my first chapter, I will defiantly break it down before I post them.

I have a new fic coming soon called Business Merger. It's another fic that is very ooc, but then again I'm not sure how it will turn out. My brother will be helping me with that one. I also have a one shot coming out called `How Did This Happen?' It should be out this weekend.

Thank you to everyone that reviewed. If I missed, your name then please let me know that so that I may add you the next time.
