Chapter Twenty

 

“Kagome, tell this toddler to leave me alone! He's worse than the squirt.” Inuyasha whacked said toddler on the head much in the fashion that he did with Shippo.

 

“Kagome, Inuyasha hit me!” Koenma flew into Kagome's arms.

 

Kagome sighed as she sat down for dinner and put Koenma back in his seat. Here we go again. It had been like this all week. She had forgotten how it was when you got Inuyasha and Koenma within shouting distance of each other. The only time she got any peace was when she was training with Sesshomaru. It was something when you had to be committing violence to get any peace. Sesshomaru refused to tolerate their antics and the first time that Koenma had run into the training yard, Kagome had yelled at him so much for disobeying her that he might have developed a permanent fear of the place. Inuyasha came to watch just to escape him. Kagome thought that he might be growing up a little; usually he would have been the one tormenting Koenma or Shippo.

 

At least I haven't had to deal with any of those dreams, she thought, not sure whether to be disappointed or happy. She had talked to Sango about them, but Sango didn't know what to say. The only comment that she had made was that Kagome must really like this guy. And she was right. She had originally thought that he would be one of those stuck-up pretty boys that had nothing better to do than stare at themselves in the mirror but he was nothing like that. If anything, he seemed extremely embarrassed at the attention that he received whenever they were out and about. She wondered how a youkai like him had managed to have a human mother. She knew that he wasn't a hanyou, but it was still up for debate on what he was. And why he had suddenly become so distant. It couldn't be because he had found out that she was a miko, not with her barrier still in place.

 

“KAGOME!” Koenma and Inuyasha both yelled at the same time.

 

Miroku winced and glared at the pair. “Shut up you two. I'm getting a headache and if you mess up my plans for later on tonight, you will not like the consequences.”

 

Inuyasha and Koenma ignored Miroku and continued to fight. Shippo and Rin watched from the opposite side of the table. Shippo shook his head. Is this what Inuyasha and I always looked like when we were fighting? No wonder it got on Kagome's nerves so much.

 

“Silence.” Sesshomaru hissed as he entered the room. Inuyasha and Koenma immediately shut up. He's even scarier than Dad. Koenma shuddered at the thought of one hundred spankings but he would take that over having Sesshomaru mad at him any day.

 

Miroku grumbled. “You wouldn't do it for me, but if Mr. High-and-Mighty even looks at you wrong you jump to. I get no respect.”

 

Sango looked at her husband and shook her head. “Maybe if you could turn into a huge dog with teeth bigger than your Shakujo and had poisonous drool, then you would get more respect. Or if you didn't go around grabbing every girl that you met on their butt all the time and asking them to bear your child. It's hard to take someone seriously that is lying on the ground twitching after I have knocked them out.”

 

“But, Sango, my dear, I haven't done any of that since I married you!”

 

“No but the memory is still fresh. We haven't been married that long.” She resumed eating her dinner.

 

“When do you think that Yama will get back?” Kagome asked. She loved seeing Koenma, but her head could only take so much abuse before exploding. She had enough to deal with from all her lessons. Luckily Kikyou had been trying to keep the butting into her thoughts to a minimum lately.

 

“He should be back in two days.”

 

“When will the bonding ceremony take place and how will he know when to come back?”

 

“A few months. It takes much energy and power to go through the ceremony. We will be tied together for all time. Not even reincarnation will make a difference; you will still feel the pull. I will send a messenger to him when it gets close to the time.”

 

“Kagome, why do you want to do this when you will be going to your country, never to return? What's the point?” Koenma asked.

 

Kagome panicked for a moment before coming up with a plausible explanation. “Because we want to be connected. Just because I won't see them in this lifetime doesn't mean that I won't in the next.”
