[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

What were you like father? Were you strong as they say? Why did you see fit to bring me into this world? Did you know you wouldn’t live to see me grown? Did you even think I would make it that far? I have so many questions, and so few answers.

Mother said you were kind. Sesshoumaru said you had a weakness for humans. Kagome says you would be proud of me. Who do I believe? They can’t all be right, can they?

Inuyasha stared at the sword in his hand as if it would magically come to life and answer him. But it just lay silent on his open palms, looking as old and battered as ever. The half-demon bowed his head in defeat before leaning back against the head board.

Next to him lay Kagome, round and full with their first child. Will I end like him? Will I die before I can see my pup grow up? Will Kagome suffer like my mother did? Am I ready for this?
