A little girl stands in front of the Higurashi home, gaze fixed on something to the right as she laughs. ?Kagome?? a man?s voice gently calls. She spins around, eyes wide, short black curls bouncing. ?Camera?s rolling!?
She suddenly blushes, staring at the ground while twisting a lock of hair around a chubby finger.
?Come on, Kagome...say something for the camera!?
?Hai, Papa...?
??Papa?? Who?s ?Papa???
?Otou-san...? she whispers without moving her eyes from the screen.
?He?s your...?
Inuyasha?s hand moves automatically, raising the typical lump on the kit?s head. ?Quiet, Shippo!?
?KAGOME!!!?
She doesn?t answer. She doesn?t hear.
?Ano...today I?m 6. This is for me in many years. Hello, Me!? She brightens suddenly, raising her eyes to the camera for an instant before glancing back to her right.
?And what are we doing, Kagome-chan?? The screen pans to the right, where her mother crouches. Her voice is distracted, as she?s trying to hold something small and wriggly.
?Showing Me what I?m like??
?That?s right!?
Kagome?s eyes widen a fraction further and she ducks her head slightly. ?Then...can we show her Youkai?? She laces her fingers behind her back in her best pleading pose.
Her mother sighs, one corner of her mouth tipping up. ?All right.? She releases the being trapped in her arms.
A white bundle of fur leaps onto the girl, knocking her over in its excitement. She just laughs as the puppy licks her face twice, then jumps off, grabbing the edge of her skirt with his teeth.
?NO, YOUKAI,? her mother bites out as she quickly grabs the dog.
?Aww, Mama! He just wants to play!?
?Well, he has to learn how to play without destroying things!?
A deep laugh covers the rest of their argument. Her mother turns to the camera. One eyebrow lowers in irritation.
?Come on, love, he?s just a puppy...our boy?s going to be much worse.?
?Don?t remind me,? she grumbles, rubbing her slightly distended stomach absently as her features soften. She turns back to Kagome, who is now teasing Youkai?s ears. His eyes narrow, and he nips lightly at her fingers, occasionally touching but never breaking the skin.
?Kagome??
?Oh, right.? She tries to stand up, but the small dog topples her over again. She just giggles, twisting her head to face the camera. ?This is my very best friend, Youkai. Say hello!?
White fur wriggles darts back and forth, wriggling out of her arms, racing around her body, chewing her shoes and yapping. She suddenly jumps up and darts away from the house. ?Come on, boy!?
?Kagome? Kago...and there she goes.? The deep voice chuckles again, trying to move the camera fast enough to follow the girl and her dog. ?Already a handful...?
?Just imagine what he?ll be like when he?s fully grown. I can?t believe you talked me into getting a dog!?
?I was referring to your daughter...?
?My daughter?!?
?Well, I think we know which one of us she takes after.?
?I certainly do ? and I would call her your daughter.?
He laughs again. ?Perhaps...?
She smiles in victorious defeat ? he has eluded her again.
?He never would give a straight answer. It used to drive Mama insane.?
His eyes and ears swivel to observe her still form. You aren?t really with us, are you, Kagome?
Her eyes never leave the screen, but she looks straight through the lit image, down the rabbit hole of old memories.

"In the clearing stands a Boxer,
And a fighter by his trade,
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him low
Or cut him 'till he cried out
In his anger and his shame;
I am leaving, I am leaving,
But the fighter still remains."
"The Boxer," Simon & Garfunkel

Awwwww, how sweet! I remember going through home movies like that one! It's amazing. You can never get 6-yr.-olds to sit still long enough for you to get too much! Well, on to the next chapter!
Peace out!
Peace out!

Here's a little known fact: Ninja tears can be used in place of olive oil to add flavor to many dishes, but they all KILL YOU! Think about that the next time that you're cooking with ninja tears...
