They all went inside and began to look around. The interior was not nearly as impressive as the outside of the castle. In fact, it didn't look much different than the homes of the poor village Kaede lived in. There really wasn't much to it. No one really knew where to look for Taiken. They decided to break up to hopefully make the search shorter. Miroku, Sango, and Kirara headed down a hallway to the right, leaving Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo to take the hallway to the left.
"Lets check in here," Miroku said, gesturing towards a door on his right.
Sango followed him in, while Kirara sat outside the door, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. As the monk and demon exterminator entered, they were both overcome by the same vision:
'The two were sitting together under the shade of a large tree. Sango was in Miroku's lap, his arms wrapped around her possessively. She reached down and grabbed his right hand and ran her fingers over the spot his cursed void had once been. Miroku' s hand tightened around Sango's. He moved his hand and hers to the bulge in Sango's stomach, where their unborn child lay. Sango smiled up at Miroku and saw him grinning right back at her.'
When the two awoke from their vision, they starred at each other confused.

Meanwhile, Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo were wondering down the other hallway, when they came upon an open doorway with silk draping from the top. They stood there for a minute starring at the doorway.
"Should we go in?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
He responded by taking a step in. Kagome followed with Shippo on her shoulders. The moment she stepped through the entry she saw Inuyasha's image fade. She looked up to see Shippo was no longer on her shoulder. She recognized this room, it was he living room, only the furniture was a little outdated. It looks like it did when she was little. Sitting on the couch was a man who appeared to be in his 20's. He almost looked human, but his ears and tail gave him away. Based on her mother's description, Kagome figured this must be Taiken. She walked over to him.
"Uh...Hello," she said, unsure of what she should say.
Taiken didn't even flinch, he was starring intently at the small bundle he was holding. Kagome looked closer and saw that it was a baby. The baby was sleeping, its had little ears like Taiken's folded down on its head.
'Can't he see me?' Kagome thought as she waved her hand in front of his face, getting no response.
Suddenly Taiken spoke. Kagome didn't recognize the language, but it sounded like he was chanting so sort of spell. The ears on the babies head vanished.
"Its only for a little while, until your 16th birthday," Taiken said soothingly to the child," Don't think that I'm abandoning you by leaving you with your mother. I love you more than anything in this world, and I'm sorry that cannot take you with me. My era is just too dangerous for you and your mother. I don't know what I would do if something happened to either of you. I will visit you if I can, but I have a feeling I won't be able to. I only hope that when you turn 16, I will be able to come back here and teach you how to use your gifts. If I'm not here, I hope that you figure out on your own how to hide your demon traits. That is one of the powers you should have when you turn 16. Maybe by then I will be able to take you to my time, so it won't matter. I so badly want to you see you grow up, but I know that there is something in my time stopping me, I just don't know what."
Kagome stood and listened as her father told her how much he loved her, and that if he didn't return, it wasn't by choice.
"Never forget Kagome, I love you..."
"Kagome....Kagome...wake up.." Kagome suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. She saw that she was back in Sanai's castle, in a room draped with silk. Above her stood Taiken. He reached down offering Kagome his hand, and helping her up.
"D..Dad?" Kagome stuttered, wondering if she should really be calling this stranger day.
"Kagome, I can't believe its really you," Taiken said, as he pulled Kagome into his arms and squeezed her tightly.
Even though Kagome had never really met this man, she felt so comfortable with him. When he hugged her, she felt so safe in his arms, a feeling she had only felt before when she was in Inuyasha's arms. Speaking of which, where was Inuyasha?
"Where are Inuyasha and Shippo?" Kagome asked, pulling out of Taiken's arms.
"Do you mean the two demons you came in with?" He asked, pointing over at the two sleeping forms on the floor next her. Kagome went over and scooped Shippo up in her arms.
"Shippo, wake up," Kagome said, gently nudging the kitsune pup.
His eyes cracked open.
"Kagome? Where are they? My mom and dad, they were jus here," He whimpered," what happened to the hot spring we were in?"
"You were just dreaming," Kagome said.
"Oh.." Shippo replied, a singly tear tolling down his cheek.
Kagome wiped it away and held him to her tightly. Once he had calmed down, she walked over to where Inuyasha lay. She brushed some hair out of his face.
"Inuyasha..."She said leaning over him.
He stirred in his sleep, and let out a small groan, but didn't wake up.
"Inuyasha, please wake up," Kagome pleaded, places her hand on his cheek.
Inuyasha reluctantly opened his eyes.
"What's going on?" he spoke sofly, staring up at Kagome.
"I think you were just suffering from an illusion, like the rest of us," she replied, removing her hand from his cheek.
"Oh," Inuyasha was a little disappointed when she removed her hand, but those thoughts were cast away when you noticed a fourth person in the room, "who's he."
"That's my father," it felt so strange, having someone she could really call her dad.
Now that Inuyasha took a closer look, he was surprised he hadn't realized who it was sooner. Taiken's eyes were just like Kagome's, well, the way they looked ever since her change. His smell was similar to hers to, only not as sweet. Inuyasha stood up to face the demon.
"Dad, this is Inuyasha. He's my...."Kagome said, searching for the word the best describe him.
"Mate?" Taiken questioned.
"WHAT!" Inuyasha and Kagome said in unison.
"No,no,no.no.no.no.no...we're, more like companions," Kagome corrected, "and this is Shippo, he travels with us too."
"Speaking of our companions, we should find Miroku and Sango and get out of here," Inuyasha added, his cheeks a little red from Taiken's assumption.
"Come on, I'll explain everything on the way," Kagome said, leading her father and the others out of the room.
Once they had found Sango, Miroku and Kirara, they started on their journey back towards the well. Kagome informed her dad of how she had first traveled through the well, and the friends she had met along the way. He seemed very interested in Inuyasha and Shippo especially. He kept asking questions about the relationship between Inuyasha and herself and how Shippo fit into all of this. It seemed obvious to him that Inuyasha and Kagome cared for one another, despite they way Inuyasha spoke to her. He also saw how Shippo looked at Kagome as if she was his mother. He seemed to rely on her for comfort.
The group agreed that when they reached the village, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Taiken would travel to Kagome's time.
"Lets check in here," Miroku said, gesturing towards a door on his right.
Sango followed him in, while Kirara sat outside the door, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. As the monk and demon exterminator entered, they were both overcome by the same vision:
