Last time:

At last Kouga grabbed Shippou and sprang out of the water with Shippou still refusing to let go of the girl. Kagome ran to her mate and son as they safely landed on the ground. Kagome put Rei and Kou into Kouga's arms and she took the little girl from Shippou. Kagome then checked her if she was ok.

"Are you alright?" kagome asked

The little girl nodded

"I'm kagome" kagome said smiling

"I'm Ira" the little girl said softly

"Are you sure you're ok?"

Again Ira nodded

"How did you fall into the river?"

"Jakken and I were playing a game and I fell in" she said with shame

"Wait! Did you say Jakken?"

Ira nodded yes again

'I can't believe I didn't notice that this was Sesshomaru's daughter! I mean look at her! Kagome you're so slow' kagome thought to her self as she looked more closely at Ira

Ira had long silver hair, and big golden eye just like Sesshomaru, body her facial and body appearances was like some one else kagome knew….Rin…. kagome smiled at the thought of the great and mightily ice king falling in love with a human girl

Chapter 6- the ice kings daughter

Shippou walked over to the girl he had just helped saved. He blushed slightly as her golden eyes gazed upon him. Kagome smiled, knowing her son, Shippou was crushing on the ice kings daughter. She wondered if Shippou knew who Ira's father was. Shippou took a deep breathe and smiled at the girl, and she smiled back at him making Shippou blush even more. He had seen a lot of cute girls in the past when Inuyasha and the gang where traveling and gathering jewel shards, but Ira took the cake. Never before had Shippou seen such a beautiful girl in his life. Her silver hair looked so silky and clean, her eyes like to pools of gold, her smiled so cute….. He couldn't look away from her.

And Ira couldn't look away from Shippou either. Was it something about his lush green eyes? Or he's orange brown hair? Or was it his strong well toned body that made her unable to take her eyes off of him? She couldn't figure it out. Never before had she seen a boy, not even once, for her father was too protective of her and allowed no males to be in the same room or the same area for that matter. Shippou was the first male to have ever lay hand on her, or lay eyes on her for that matter. Was that why…was that why she couldn't look away? Why was her heart racing? Why was her breathe caught in her throat? Why?

"Hi, I'm Shippou, son my Kouga and Kagome" Shippou said finally as he held out his hand for her to shake, and breaking the silence

Ira smiled at her savor, a slight blush ran across her deltaic face "And I am Ira, daughter of lord Sesshomaru and Lady Rin"

She shook his hand with her smile ferial one.

Shippou just about fell over, Ira was the daughter of Sesshomaru? The ice king himself? ...well now that he thought of that, he should have known that in the first place. For Ira did look like Sesshomaru, and even had the crescent moon on her forehead like her father, only her facial and body appearances look like that of Rin, the young girl Shippou had seen many times traveling with Sesshomaru.

Kouga joined the three with Rei and Kou in his arms still. He smiled down at the young girl his son so bravely jumped into the river for. Ira was now out of Kagome's arms and sitting beside Shippou who was in front of Kagome. Kouga then handed Kou to kagome, because Kou was wiggling in his fathers arms trying to get to his mother. While Rei was quiet content with staying in her father's arms. Kouga smiled at his mate and children and even to the small girl, of whom his son seemed to be taking a liking to.

"So Ira is your mother and father near by?" Kagome asked

Ira shrugged "I'm not really sure how far the river carried me down stream…. I was with Jakken…. On our daily walk, we went further today than we usually do, so I'm not really sure where my father's castle is" Ira explained

"Don't worry Ira we'll get you home!" Shippou said looking at her

Ira blushed a little more as she looked at Shippou and said "I'm sure Jakken will come for me soon, he was chasing after me last I saw, and he tripped and fell, but I'm not worried besides I'd like to take a look around, I've never been here before, and….. 'sniff…sniff' hey I smell uncle Inuyasha... is he near by?"

Kagome, Kouga and Shippou just starred at her, had she met her uncle before? Ira saw them all starring at her.

"What?" she asked

"Ira have you met Inuyasha before?" said kagome

"Nope" she said smiling

"Then how do you know his near by?" asked Shippou

"Father has told me many things about Inuyasha and his friends, and father says uncle Inuyasha smells of humans, and that of a half breed"

"Well Kagome she's right about that" Kouga laughed

Kagome and Kouga then got up with the twins in their arms, Shippou and Ira followed closely behind.

(To Inuyasha, Kikyo and Aiko)

"Inuyasha is something bothering you?" Kikyo asked her mate as she held Aiko their daughter in her arms

"I smell Sesshomaru's scent but…it's not Sesshomaru…just some one who has been around him…..a female, that's not Rin….."

"Don't worry about it my husband" Kikyo said stealing a kiss

The kiss soon broke and Kikyo handed Aiko to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked down at his beloved daughter Aiko. Aiko's jet black hair had grown long and fell to Aiko's waste; her brownish golden eyes sparkled as she giggled so care free. Inuyasha smiled as he held her close; still unable to believe that he and Kikyo could create something so small and beautiful.

Suddenly out of no where Inuyasha and Kikyo sprang to their feet as they heard a voice rang out into the air. In a flash Inuyasha had Aiko back in Kikyo's arms and had his fang out and ready to fight and protect his family. Kikyo ducked behind her mate and shielded their pup from any harm that might come.

"UNCLE Inuyasha!" yelled a small voice

Inuyasha then found himself on the ground and something was on top of him, her heard Kikyo squeak in shock. As she jumped back wards with their daughter in her arms. Aiko began to cry from the sudden movement her parents made so quickly, it had scared her terribly.

Inuyasha opened his eyes to see a pair of golden eyes starring at him right in his face. he jumped a little and a giggle came from the one who sat on him. it was a small girl who could possibly be a few years younger than Shippou, he'd say 4 years younger. Her long silver hair matched his, her features where that of some one he had seen before about couldn't place where or who. And wait didn't this little girl call him uncle? Could that mean? No it couldn't there was no way in hell that could even be possible….not Sesshomaru.

"Uncle Inuyasha did I surprise you?" she asked him

"Uncle?" Inuyasha said confused

"Yeah, I'm your niece Ira" she laughed "father has told me so much about you and your friends"

"Father?" Inuyasha said still confused "wait Sesshomaru had a kid?"

"Inuyasha" kagome's voice came to he's ears, kagome ran up to him with Kouga, the twins and Shippou, they all seemed out of breathe " she spotted you and…holly crap is she fast….but I see you've met Sesshomaru and Rin's daughter now…."

"Rin? ….the girl Sesshomaru always had with him?" kagome nodded "Sesshomaru mated with a human? You're talking about Sesshomaru right? The ice king himself? Mr. I hate all humans?" said Inuyasha again kagome nodded

"Father doesn't hate all humans! He loves mother very much!" Ira snapped at Inuyasha
