On the other side of the well, our favorite hanyou was sitting in Kaede's hut, rather impatiently awaiting Kagome's return. He was currently drumming his fingers on the ground.
"Would you stop that fidgeting Inuyasha? She will be back before you know it," Sango was growing more irritated by the second.
"That stupid girl, and her stupid party," Inuyasha mumbled before standing, "maybe I should go wish her a happy birthday." He headed outside with a sinister grin.
"Why do I get the feeling nothing good will come of this?" Miroku said as he watched Inuyasha leave.
'She's coming back, even if I have to throw her over my shoulder and drag her through the well,' Inuyasha thought as he headed towards the well. As he got closer to his destination, a familiar scent his nose.
'Kagome?' But why was she back already? Inuyasha took a deep breath, filling himself with the scent. There was another scent present, the scent of a demon. That meant Kagome was in trouble. He took off full-speed to the well. He put his hand over Tetsusaiga, preparing
to protect Kagome. When he reached the well he was shocked by what he saw. There, heaving her yellow backpack over her shoulder, was Kagome. 'What happened to her? Her ears...her scent....her TAIL! What is going on?'
"Ka..Kagome?" Inuyasha stuttered.
"Oh, hello Inuyasha," she replied, as if nothing was wrong.
"What happened to you?" he couldn't stop staring at her ears.
"Come on, lets find the others so I only have to explain this once," Kagome said as she headed towards the village.
Inuyasha stood frozen for a minute before following. An expression of bewilderment was on his face the whole time.
* * *
"So, you’re a hanyou then?" Sango stated more then asked.
Kagome had just finished telling them everything her mother had told her.
"Is she as strong as you now Inuyasha?" Shippo asked,jumping on the hanyou's knee. Inuyasha had sat in the corner in silence through the whole story. He looked down at the kitsune, not
entirely sure what to say. He was spared having to answer when Miroku spoke up.
"What ever happened to your father?"
Kagome shrugged, "I don't know."
"I have heard rumors of Taiken," Kaede stated, "his father, Toumoku, is the leader of the Kuroi. The Kuroi are a clan of black dog demons who reign over the eastern lands. Not too long ago there were at war with the Hebi. The Hebi, a group of snake demons, set out
to overthrow the Kuroi, and take control of the eastern lands. They were led by Hayai, whose daughter was supposed to be Taiken's bride. The wedding was called off when Taiken confessed he had fallen in love and conceived a child with a human. Hayai was furious that his daughter Kasai was being replaced by a human, so he formed a rebellion. It is said that Taiken hid the woman and child somewhere until the feud was settled. He was taken prisoner during the battle. Hayai was badly injured in their final battle and he and the Hebi retreated to the Northern lands. Taiken however was never returned. No one knows for certain
if he is still alive or not, but if he is, he is most likely being held captive in the north."
Kagome sat looking down at her skirt. How would Inuyasha react if she told him she wanted to look for her father?
"Does Toumoku still rule over the Kuroi in the east?"Sango asked.
"Hai," Kaede replied.
Everyone was silent for a while before Inuyasha spoke up.
"Kagome, you and I are going to visit the Kuroi. They may have more leads on how to find your father," he turned to Sango and Miroku, "you guys can continue to search for Naraku on your own if you like."
"No, of course not. I'm going with you. We're a team; we can't just split up. Plus, there is no way you are leaving me alone with this letch," Sango said.
Miroku stood up, "I agree with Sango, well, not the last part. We can always listen for rumors of Naraku and the jewel shards along the way."
"Fine, we'll head out in the morning," Inuyasha said while standing up and walking out of the hut.
"Thanks for sticking by me, you guys" Kagome said to her friends before deciding to follow Inuyasha. She found him sitting up in one of the trees just outside the hut.
"Inuyasha," she called up at him.
He ignored her, so she decided to climb up to where he was sitting. She found it surprisingly easy, due to her new hanyou abilities. Once she reached the branch
Inuyasha was sitting on she sat down next to him.
"Thank you Inuyasha," she said, trying to catch his eyes.
"For what?" he stared off in the distance.
"For letting me look for my father," she replied.
"Feh."
"I was just surprised you wanted to. I'm sorry that it affects our search. If its to much of a burden, I could go alone or something," Kagome suggested.
"Like you could take care of yourself out there,"Inuyasha replied.
"I could now that I'm a hanyou," she said sharply,becoming a little irritated.
"Kagome, you can't learn to be a hanyou overnight. It will take you awhile to realize your strength,"Inuyasha explained, "and I don't mind putting the search on hold for this. I grew up without my dad to remember. You can't pass up the chance to get yours back."
"Thank you Inuyasha," she said, resting her head on his shoulder. She took a deep breath, inhaling his scent. He smelt...incredible.
"Yeah, whatever," he said, regaining his usual attitude.
"It's really nice up here, isn't it?" Kagome mumbled.
"Yeah, it is."
"Do you think we could just stay up here tonight?" she asked.
"Yeah sure," he said, just before she drifted off to sleep he whispered, "Happy Birthday Kagome."

"Well, isn't this an interesting sight," Miroku said when he discovered the two hanyous in the tree the next morning.
"Just leave them alone Miroku, they look so peaceful,"Sango said.
"Inuyasha is the one who said we should leave this morning. We really should get an
early start," Miroku picked up a rock and chucked it up, hitting Inuyasha square in the forehead.
Inuyasha jumped when he was hit, startling Kagome. He was able to regain his balance quickly, but Kagome wasn't so lucky and she tumbled out of the tree. Using her new reflexes, she grabbed a branch at the last second, stopping herself just centimeters above the
ground. Inuyasha jumped down and was about to teach that monk a lesson, but Kagome beat him to it. By the time he got to him, Miroku was unconscious with several large lumps on his head. Apparently Kagome isn't much of a morning person.
"I'm going through the well to let my family know I'll be gone for awhile, and to refill my first aid kit. I'll be back in about and hour, then we'll leave," Kagome said and headed for the well before anyone had a chance to respond.
"Do you think the transformation affected her temper?" Sango said, watching her friend storm off to the well.
A/N: Ok, I decided to change the whole thing with Sanai to the conflict between the Kuroi
and Hebi because I wanted to add in Taiken's family. Taiken is going to have a younger
sister, and I think I may have her join them in the search for Taiken. Please review and let
me know if you like this way better, or if I should stick with Sanai. According to a little online translator thing I used Toumoku means chief/leader, Kuroi means black, Hebi means snake/serpent, Hayai means quick/fast and Kasai means fire.
"Would you stop that fidgeting Inuyasha? She will be back before you know it," Sango was growing more irritated by the second.
