Who's The Daddy?

“Mrs. Higurashi?”

The woman turned and regarded the hanyou who was her daughter’s best friend.  Behind him stood his older half-brother.  “Yes, Inuyasha?  What can I do for you and Sesshoumaru.”

Both of them fidgeted for a bit.  “We were wondering,”  Inuyasha began awkwardly.  “Um..  we never hear about Kagome’s father, and so…”

“What the half-breed is trying to ask,” Sesshoumaru studiously ignored his half-brother’s loud disagreement to that particular moniker.  “Is.. Who is Kagome’s father?”

She was about to tell them the truth, when a thought came to her mind.  Mrs. Higurashi knew that the boys had recently watched some movies lately.  Kagome had told her in private, laughing all the while, that the morons believed these movies had actually happened.

Now, it wasn’t that well-known, but Mrs. Higurashi was quite the mischievous child growing up.  Some of that long-hidden inner child must have risen up to speak the words that came out of her mouth.

“There is no father.”

Both boys were stunned silent at that.  Mrs. Higurashi worked very hard to keep her amusement out of her voice as she continued.  “I carried her, I gave birth, I raised her… I can’t explain what happened.”

It took all of five minutes for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru to compute that.  “Oh kami, Kagome is the Chosen One!”  Inuyasha shouted.

Sesshoumaru, who was generally a smart young man, dissolved into fanboyism.  “Just think, my girlfriend, the Chosen One…”  His golden eyes stared dreamily into the distance.

“Your girlfriend?  What makes her your girlfriend?”  Inuyasha frowned.

“I’m the oldest.  And I call dibs.”  Sesshouamru replied smugly.

Mrs. Higurashi waited until both of them walked out of the kitchen, still squabbling, and well out of the range of earshot before she broke into hysterical laughter.

Kagome found her there an hour later, still letting out an occasional snigger or chuckle.  “Mother, why’d you  have to tell them that?  Now I’ve got Inuyasha telling me I’ve got to be trained, and Sesshoumaru telling me that the Chosen One needs a proper boyfriend…”

Her mother was anything but sympathetic to her plight.  “Just think, Kagome, I wonder what’ll happen when they see past the first movie.”

Kagome paled.  “Oh kami… Mom, why couldn’t you just tell them that dad died in an accident right after Souta was born?”

Mrs. Higurashi refused to answer, and instead started humming a certain theme song as she was chopping up carrots.  Kagome just groaned.  One of these days, she would have to tell those two that the Star Wars movies were fiction.
