Inuyasha sat before his father like a small child about to be scolded.



"Is it true?" the man asked. Seeing his son was unwilling to answer he pressed on, "Are you playing the part of someone's pet?"



"No," the Hanyou replied, then decided to wipe the relieved look off his father's face. "I'm her servant."



"WHAT?" the elder Youkai was outraged.



"Kagome's a nice girl! She earned her way into that snob-factory that calls itself a school, I'm just protecting her!"



"By lowering yourself?" Touga growled.



"I can't lower myself; I'm just a half-breed!" Inuyasha shot back. "I was a disgrace the moment you couldn't keep it in your pants around a human, so it doesn't really matter what I do, does it?"



"That's not true," Touga replied wearily.



"That's what you've let Sesshoumaru tell me since I was born, why are you only disagreeing when I say it?"



"Inuyasha, I'm not going to let you date-"



"I'm not going to stop being with Kagome!" Inuyasha interrupted.



"Let me finish," Touga scolded. "I'm not going to let you date this girl without at least meeting her family."



Touga started rummaging through a drawer, "How many are there?"



"Four," Inuyasha answered.



Touga nodded and pulled out an envelope, "Here are four invitations to the formal ball celebrating my birthday. If this girl is as great as you think she is, then you won't mind bringing her and her family."



Inuyasha was in shock as he took the envelope, "Thanks Dad."



"So what's she like?" Touga asked.



A dreamy look that reminded Touga of his own when he thought of Izayoi passed over Inuyasha's face. "She's the most beautiful girl ever. And the smartest, and nicest. And she smells like-"



Touga stopped his son before he could give too much information. "It sounds like you really like her. Did you really think I'd be so heavy handed that I'd forbid you from seeing her without giving her a chance? You should know me better than that son,"  Touga scolded.



"But I don't," Inuyasha replied bitterly. "Can I go now?"



Touga nodded and watched his son walk out.



After his son closed the door behind him, Touga poured himself a glass of scotch. He raised it to a picture of his dead wife.



"Well Izayoi, our little boy's grown up," he toasted happily. "I just wish I could say that about Sesshoumaru."

I always did like Touga. I wish we'd gotten to see more of him in the show. :(
