Recap: `My own Father!!!' she thought as she buried her face into her pillow to stifle her sobs. She hated crying, it made her feel weak and exposed, like anyone could just see through her. Kagome sat up and wiped her eyes vigorously. No, she would not cry. She was strong!!

Kagome looked down at her pillow and noticed the blood stain from her busted lip.

`Dammit!!' She cursed. How was she going to explain that to her friends? She couldn't use make up, and there was no way to hide it.

“I'm screwed.” She sighed before she lied back down. `Maybe if I sleep on it, I'll know what to do when I wake up.' She thought as she let sleep over come her.

Meet The Father

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was slowly rising over the horizon bathing the land it a red orangey glow. Sitting in their favorite spots on their favorite tree Sango and Rin stared at its beauty in awe. Kagome on the other hand, flinched as an old saying entered her mind. `red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.'

Kagome's hand unconsciously rose to her busted lip. When she had woken up that morning she was still unable to figure out how to explain her lip to her friends. Her sisters had been worried about her and asked her what had happened, and she had told them everything except for the awful kiss. She had asked them what she should do but they didn't have any Idea's either, but they left anyway. They knew that if they stayed at the house things would only get worse.

Kagome sighed deeply and patted the branch next to her `What am I going to tell them old friend…?' She thought to the tree.

Silence…

Kagome sighed again, She still had a couple of hours till the guys came. Maybe she could tell them she got into another fight? No, that wouldn't do, they'd just ask a million questions and then try to go after whom ever she said had hit her.

“Hey, you guys!!” Miroku's voice greeted from the bottom of the tree, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stood next to him. Kagome's breath hitched.

“Wow!! You guys are up early!” Sango laughed.

“I know, but baka over here fell out of his bed and woke us up with his loud cursing” Inuyasha growled as he pointed at Miroku.

Miroku smirked “I was having a nightmare about you in a dress!! Really Inuyasha, when are you going to come out of the closet?” Miroku teased making everyone burst out laughing.

“you have 5 seconds…” Inuyasha growled.' 5…4…3…” Miroku `eeped' and clambered up the tree as fast as he could.

“2…1!!!!!” Inuyasha chased after him faster than any human could begin to comprehend. Miroku was half way up the tree, but he didn't even have a chance to scream before he crashed down into the nest beside Kagome. She looked down at him and shook her head before she turned to look back at the sunrise.

Suddenly a hand snaked out and grabbed onto her just beneath her butt on her leg. The memory of last night entered her mind as she felt panic rise through her.

“EEEEEEEEEKKK” She screamed as she whirled around and jumped backwards hitting a branch at the edge of the tree, she was only slightly aware as gravity took hold of her and pulled her down towards the ground.

“KAGOME!!!” She heard her friends yell, but it was no use, she was doomed.

Suddenly in a flash, she found herself back in the tree in Inuyasha's strong arms. She looked up at him and blinked a few times in confusion.

“You gotta watch what your doing, clumsy.” He said softly but smirked at her making her glare at him. He looked down at her pouting lips and gasped. “Hey, where'd you get that from?”

`Shit!!' Kagome gasped.

“Oh thank God!!” She heard her sister's say before she was pulled her away from him and into their arms. Thank God, was right!! Kagome openly welcomed the distraction.

“Kagome are you ok?” Rin asked.

“Yeah, I'm fine, just a little shaken is all.”

“Hey! I'm not finished talking to you wench!!” Inuyasha yelled from behind them. Everyone looked at him.

“How did you bust your lip, Kagome?” He asked suspiciously.

`Crap, why can't he just forget about it? What am I going to say?!'

“I…umm...” `you fell!' “Yeah, I fell!!… I mean, I uh…fell.” She said sheepishly.

Inuyasha stared at her for second, then laugh. “You're pretty damned clumsy, Kagome!!”

Kagome, Sango and Rin nearly fell over and sweat dropped.

“Grrrr!! Jerk!!” Kagome yelled and bopped him on the head.

“Oww!! What the fuck was that for!!!??” He yelled while rubbing his head.

“For being a baka.” She replied bluntly.

Seeing were this argument was going Miroku interrupted. “Anyways you guys.…… our father wanted us to invite you all for breakfast today, would you like to come?” he said with a smile.

“When did he ask this?” Sango asked making the boys memory of the previous night take over.

Inuyasha, Miroku and Sesshoumaru all sat quietly around the dinner table. They were currently to caught up in thoughts about three certain girls that held thier affections to notice their father staring at them. (A/n: Kagome for Inuyasha, Rin for Sesshoumaru, and Sango for Miroku if you haven't guessed) He smiled in amusement at his son's. They had all been so depressed since Miroku's father and Inuyasha's mother died, that he thought that they would end up killing them selves with their own self misery. But lately they all seemed so happy and at first it had shocked him but then he the scent of 3 female humans reached his nose and then it was obvious. His son's were in love!!

Shinjo was a handsome man that looked to be about 30, making a lot of people think that he was his sons brother, although he was actually hundreds of years old. He looked a lot like Sesshoumaru with blue youkai makings but his facial structure was like Inuyasha's. He had long silver his hair pulled back into a low ponytail and was wearing causal business attire.

“So.. When am I going to meet these 3 girls of yours?” Shinjo said taking them out of their thoughts abruptly. They stared at him dumbly.

Inuyasha was the first to recover. “Keh!! What are you talking about old man?”

Shinjo just smiled at him in amusement. “Don't play stupid with me, I can smell them on all of you. Their scents have been on you three for 2 months now.”

“Then why didn't you say anything sooner?” Miroku asked.

“Well, I WAS waiting for you three to say something first, but you didn't and my patience is wearing thin. Now I expect you to bring them over for breakfast tomorrow so that I may finally meet these fine young lady's that seem to have you all so happy lately.” It was Demand, not a request.

“Fine..” Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Miroku sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Last night.” Sesshoumaru explained.

“ok, but why would he want to meet us?” Rin asked.

“Keh!! To hell if we know!!” Inuyasha answered.

The girls giggled. “ok' “yeah” “sure, why not”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girls were now staring at the inside of the large Veranda Mansion that wasn't to far from Goshinboku, in awed fascination. They had never been inside it before and it was beautiful!! The room was decorated in Silver drapes and gold oak furniture, leading from the rather large living room to the second floor was a long cascading stairway, made with the same gold oak, and had a silver carpet leading through the middle. It was Gorgeous!! They were so caught up in the beauty that they hadn't noticed that Shinjo had walked into the room giving him the chance to inspect the three of them.

He smiled to himself in amusement. These three girls were rather beautiful, it was no wonder his son's found interest in them. Then he scowled slightly at their wardrobe. Their garments were ripped in various places and rather old looking, they also looked rather weather beaten, especially the eldest with her busted lip, which suggested that they weren't taken care of properly, and the thought that anyone could treat them as such was enough to make him growl in outrage, but he held it back and smiled at them pleasantly.

“Hello young ladies, I'm Shinjo, these three baka's father.” He said making them laugh as his son's scowled at him. Shinjo laughed slightly, he liked these girls already. They laughed at his jokes.

“Hello Mr. InuTaisho, My name's Kagome” The eldest said stepping forward with her hand out. He took it in his as they shook hands. `hmmm, she has a firm grip, perfect for keeping Inuyasha in line!' he thought in amusement.

“and this is Rin” she said pointing at said person.

“Hello” She said sweetly, waving at him shyly. He nodded his head at her and she smiled brightly making his amusement grow further.

“and this is Sango” Kagome pointed to the last of the three.

“Wha' sup!!” She said with laughter in her eye's making him laugh heartily. Yep, these girls were perfect for his son's.

“Nice to finally meet you all, I was beginning to worry that my son's would never introduce us.” He laughed as his son's sent death glare's at him. “Ahem…anyway, let us head for the kitchen. I had a light meal made for us to eat for breakfast, I hope you'll enjoy it?” he said while leading them to the kitchen.

They came to a large rectangular table with a 4 seat length and 1 seat width. Shinjo sat at the head of the table and smirked as his son's help the blushing girls to their seats and sat across from them. With out further wait, 5 waiters, each holding a large platter, walked out of the main kitchen door and placed them on the table in a buffet style. His amusement went further as he watched the girls eyes grow as big as saucers.

The girls gapped at the food in front of them. Light? Light!! Yeah right, half of the stuff they had never had before. Each platter had something different on it. There were two types of pancakes (Blue berry and old fashioned) and five types of syrup!! Two types of eggs (scrambled and sunny side up), two types of sausage (link and patty), bacon, and biscuits and sausage gravy!!! It all made their mouth water. But this couldn't be for them, they weren't worth it.

Shinjo's amusement vanished as he saw the girls' expressions change drastically. They were now staring sadly at the meal as if it was put there to taunt them.

“Is something wrong?” He asked making his son's stop stuffing their faces and look at the girls worriedly.

Kagome looked at him and smiled sadly. “No, Why?”

“Why aren't you eating, is something wrong with the food?” He asked in concern.

Rin and Sango's eyes opened wide. “You mean we're allowed to eat too?!” Rin asked in excitement. Shinjo's eyes went wide. What had happened to these girls to make them think that they couldn't?

“Of course!! You are our guests, this meal is in your honor.” He said. The girls stared at him in awe.

“B-but why w-would you do that!?” Kagome asked.

He smiled at her softly “because you three are friends with my son's” then he smirked. “and you deserve it for putting up with them for so long”

The girls laughed, effectively relieving the tension, as they began to put food on their plates and ate slowly savoring each bite knowing that they probably wouldn't ever have such a treat again.

Shinjo smiled at their antics, but then frowned slightly. Something wrong was going on with them, he could feel it, and he didn't like it one bit. These girls seemed so innocent and sweet, yet they had this sadness in their eye's that said that they had been through more than they should have at such a young age.

`Take care of these girls, my son's. They are special, I can feel it.' He thought before he went back to eating.
