Prologue- Why Shippo Chose Dad

 

A little boy jumped down from his position on the playground. He was pretending that he was a super warrior from planet Earth and his mission was to save the princess from the evil Martians. He thrust his sword into the alien and claimed his victory for the planet Earth.

 

“Look, look, I got it! I got it!” he shouted.

 

A tall man with silver hair turned and looked at his son and smiled. He was happy to have an outing with his family at the park for once. His business was just starting and he barely had enough time to spend with them. He looked over at his wife and kissed her temple. He received no reply but he knew that she felt the same.

 

The dark-haired woman looked into the fading sun, thinking. She listened while her son played with the imaginary aliens on the playground. She felt coldness setting in and shivered. It was as if there the weather was telling her that it was time. She wouldn't fight it.

 

The little boy ran over to his parents, smiling. When he reached his destination, he dug through the small picnic basket that they had brought along with them, and found a turkey leg. He happily munched on the oversized poultry. His mother looked at him.

 

“Shippo, go and play honey. Mommy and Daddy need to have a grown up talk.”

 

Shippo didn't need to stick around any longer than that. He stood with his turkey leg and ran back to the playground. He knew what grown up talk meant. The last time he stuck around to see what was so great about grown up talk, he regretted it. It ended up with his daddy doing weird things to his mommy's face. It seemed like she dropped some food on her face and he was pretending to be a vacuum cleaner like the Oreck in the closet and sucking it all off. Except there wasn't any food on Mommy's face. It was just weird.

 

Shippo closed his eyes so that he would not have to see that again.

 

“Inuyasha, I want a divorce.”

 

The man's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what just came out of his wife's mouth. He turned to face her, for any sign of joking, but she was absolutely serious.

“Wh-What did you say?” he asked.

“I want a divorce.”

“But Kikyo, why?!”

 

For the first time she looked him in the eye. “Inuyasha, I want a new life.”

She heard something in the bushes and sighed. Standing up, she looked down at Inuyasha's shocked and horrified face. “I already got the papers filed.”

 

“That is bull.” he whispered. Then he yelled it. “That is bull!”

“How is that bull? I'm not happy with you! You aren't giving me what I need!”

“I have given you everything that I could! I loved you and bought you everything that you ever asked! The only thing I ever asked from you was a son! Well now I have that! Why aren't you happy?”

“You just can't give me what I need.”

“Kikyo you aren't making any sense! If you wanted a new start, just tell me and we'll move wherever you want to go! We'll do whatever you want to do, just tell me. Please.” He was calming down a little now.

“What don't you get?! I don't want to be with you anymore!”

“Why? Tell me why.” he demanded.

“I told you, I want a ne-”

“Don't give me that crap!”

“I-”

“I want the truth. I want the truth now, Kikyo.”

“I'm having an affair.” she finally said.

 

Inuyasha froze for a minute. An affair? His Kikyo? How could she? Why? But they made wedding vows! How dare she break those vows and lay in the arms of another. How could she?

 

“How long?” Inuyasha asked.

“It's been years now. I can't even remember how long. But I do know this. He is the true father of my child, and I love him.”

 

Inuyasha blinked at her in fury. Shippo wasn't his? He knew that Shippo didn't look anything like him, but he just thought that was because Shippo looked like Kikyo. And he thought that the sandy brown hair came from Kikyo's parents. How dare Kikyo lie to him and make him believe that Shippo was his son?! Of course, Shippo was his son! He loved Shippo. But, Shippo wasn't his biological son? How did this all happen? Where did it all go wrong?

 

Shippo dropped his turkey leg in the sand. Mommy and Daddy were fighting? They had never fought before. Why were they fighting? Scared, he slowly crept up to his parents, but keeping his distance so that they wouldn't yell at him.

 

“I can't just sit around and let you tell me this! I don't believe it! I won't!” Inuyasha yelled.

“Well then I guess you'll have to deal with it. I am taking my son, and we are leaving you. I want to be with my love.” she said.

 

“I don't believe this. You're going to be sorry, Kikyo. You're gonna come crawling back to me. He can't be your `love'. You married me!”

“Yes I am. And I realized that I have made a big mistake in doing so.”

 

Kikyo turned and looked at Shippo. “Come here, honey. There is someone that I want you to meet.”

 

Shippo had a bad feeling about this. He didn't know what to do. Mommy was saying mean things to Daddy, and Daddy looked like he was going to cry, or kick her. But he didn't want to get into trouble. With one quick glance at his daddy, Shippo walked over to his mommy and let her pick him up in her arms.

 

“That's a good boy.” she whispered in his ear.

 

Inuyasha watched silently as she rounded the bush that was behind them and started talking. There was a man there! Inuyasha ran over to see an older man who appeared to be about thirty years old. He had sandy brown hair like Shippo's, and his facial structure was almost identical. Inuyasha thought he was going to throw up. So it was all true.

 

“Shippo, this is your daddy. Your real daddy.” Kikyo said softly. “I want you to be real nice to him because he loves you and we're going to live with him from now on.”

 

Shippo looked at the man, and then he looked over at Inuyasha. That wasn't his daddy. Inuyasha was his daddy!

 

“But what about daddy?” he asked.

“That's not your daddy, Shippo. That's Inuyasha, he's your...pretend daddy. He was just pretending to be your daddy while your real daddy was on a long trip.” Kikyo told him.

 

The brown haired man walked over and reached for Shippo. “That's right, son. I'm your father.” he said.

 

Shippo flinched and shrugged away from his mother. “That's not my daddy! You're not my daddy! Get away! Get away!” He started to cry and Kikyo sighed. The man brought his hands back as if he were burned. He had a sad look in his eyes, and he looked to Kikyo for comfort.

 

“Don't worry, Suikotsu. He'll get use to you. Shippo come here and tell your daddy that you are sorry for being rude to him! Right now.” she said sternly.

 

Shippo did not move and cried harder. “No! That's not my daddy. I want my daddy! I want my daddy!” he screamed.

 

 

Inuyasha jerked, and almost walked to his son. `No,' he told himself, `He's not mine. Not anymore.'

 

Shippo turned and saw Inuyasha there with a sorrowful look on his face. “Daddy!” he screamed. “Daddy he's not my daddy! Tell Mommy that's not my daddy! I want my daddy!” He fell forward and broke out into sobs.

 

Inuyasha watched Shippo fall, and he couldn't take it anymore. Forget about Kikyo. Forget about the man. He walked over to Shippo and picked him up. “Shh. Don't cry Shippo. Daddy's here.” he mumbled.

 

Kikyo looked at him in fear. `Oh no.' she thought.

Shippo looked up at Inuyasha and sniffled loudly, the clung onto him and sobbed some more. “Daddy, don't leave me ever again!” he yelled.

 

Inuyasha didn't say anything. He turned and looked at Kikyo, who had tears in her eyes. She knew that Inuyasha had won. She couldn't take this to court. Inuyasha had enough money to buy over the judge and still have his fortune left. She could never compete with that. Inuyasha's eyes were filled with anger, and she felt so little. She was helpless, and she didn't know what else she could do.

 

“Come on Suikotsu.” she said, and the walked off together and left the park, never to be heard from again.

 

Shippo's crying had ceased after they left, and he sat there in his daddy's arms. “Is that mean man gone, Daddy?” he asked.

“Yes.” Inuyasha said. He sat Shippo down and grabbed his hand as they watched the moon peak out from behind the clouds.

 

“Where did Mommy go?”

“She left us. She wants to be with that man.”

Shippo looked down.

“Why?”

“I don't know, Shippo.”

“Well, Mommy is mean! She should get no dessert!”

Inuyasha sighed.

“Mommy's not coming back, Shippo.”

“W-What?”

“She's not coming back.”

 

Shippo started crying again, and Inuyasha ruffled his hair to calm him down. “It's OK Shippo. It's OK. Everything will be alright.” Shippo looked at Inuyasha in questioningly.

“It's just you and me now. We'll be alright. I promise.”

 

Shippo nodded and hugged his daddy. `Mommy is a mean, mean lady and I hate her.' he thought.
