XOXOXO:
Miroku happily spread the paste and moved out of the way while Inuyasha and Bankotsu placed another large log on top.
"Make sure the logs fit tight together, that way we have a solid base." Jakotsu said, as he mixed more of the sediment paste that would hold the logs together.
Bankotsu used the back of his haori to wipe sweat from his forehead and narrowed his eyes. "Either get your skinny ass over here and help, or quit bitching."
Kagome was cleaning their two year old daughter up on the porch and mentally chastised. 'Bankotsu!'
His eyes widened and he sent her a sheepish look. 'Sorry babe.'
She shook her head and went back to cleaning Amaya.
Jakotsu huffed. "I am helping, see?" he held up the large mixing bowl and stirred the paste.
Bankotsu rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath as he and Inuyasha lifted another log into place.
Miroku spread the paste and wiped his own brows. "It sure is hot today."
Inuyasha barked out, "Quit whining and let's just get this shit done already."
Kagome's angry voice filled the air. "Inuyasha… don't make me have to say 'it'!" her eyes narrowed at him.
Bankotsu reached over and smacked him upside the head. "Oi mutt, there are kids here, remember? You know she doesn't want them repeating that kind of language."
Inuyasha snarled and rubbed the back of his head. "This coming from Mr. Potty mouth himself?"
Bankotsu snorted. "Let's just get back to work."
Inuyasha huffed.
Kagome placed her daughter and three year old son in the grass with the other Miroku and Sango's two year old twins. The kids all began playing in the dirt and trying to build things. Whenever the men would argue, the kids would stop playing and look up at the arguing males.
Shippo sighed. "There they go again." accepting the new toy from his mom.
Kagome snorted. "I'll just be glad when that last cabin is finished." As she passed each of the kids a water gun and showed them how to use them.
Amaya squealed when she was shot with water and giggled ready to try hers out.
Kagome smiled and showed Shippo her Super-Soaker.
Shippo's eyes bulged. "Oi, no fair mama, I want one like that!"
Kagome grinned. "You're big enough now that I will get you a bigger one next time." She smiled. "For now, you can use this one. Just make sure you play fair."
Shippo grinned and went to fill the bigger gun. "I will."
Kagome rejoined Sango, Tara, Kikyo, and Kaede, who were sitting on the porch and sorting through herbs.
Kikyo had spent the last three years teaching both Kagome and Tara about the different medicinal herbs.
Sango and Miroku had started visiting so frequently that the others had decided to make a smaller cabin for their family to use whenever they came to visit.
Sango blushed. "I told you guys that you didn't have to build a cabin just for us."
Kagome waved her hand. "Oh hush. You know we already consider you guys family. And with this new cabin, you Miroku, Michiru and Kohaku will all have a guaranteed place to stay while you visit."
Sango smiled and shook her head. She heard her daughter whine.
"Mommy help me!"
Sango roiled her eyes and stood up glaring at her misbehaving kids. "Kohaku! Don't put that frog in your sister's yukata!"
Michiru screeched and tried to wiggle away.
Kohaku got off his sister's back and huffed, tossing the frog in the grass. "You big baby Michiru, it's just a frog."
Michiru turned around and slapped him. "You jerk; I am not a big baby!"
Sango's voice bellowed. "That's enough! Michiru, front and center!" she pointed to the spot in front of her.
Michiru sent her brother a glare and Kohaku stuck out his tongue taunting, "You're in trouble now, baby."
Sango growled. "Kohaku, you too!"
Michiru sent him a smirk. Ha!"
The kids went to stand in front of their mother and stared at the ground scuffing their feet.
"How many times must I tell you not to hit him?"
Michiru sniffled. "But he was –"
Sango ordered, "Zip it young lady!" She pointed to a spot on the porch. "Sit, both of you and not another word until I say you can get up."
The children sulked and sat in their 'time out' spots.
Sango looked at Kagome. "You're so lucky that Shin and Amaya don't do this."
Kagome snorted. "You just don't see them act up like that. Trust me Sango, they act up too."
"Jakotsu!" Bankotsu's blue eyes narrowed. "You get you lazy ass up!"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Speaking of acting up..."
Sango snorted and sat on the porch.
Amaya yelled, "Daddy don't," as she watched Bankotsu storm over and yank Jakotsu up from his nap.
Jakotsu pouted. "I need my beauty sleep."
Bankotsu bopped him on top of the head and snorted. "You can sleep when the sun goes down, now move it!" He shoved him towards the others, who were shaking their heads.
Inuyasha growled and glared at Jakotsu. "It was your bright idea to do this in the middle of a hot day, so get the hell over here and do some real work!"
Miroku sighed. "All this violence and yet you wonder where the kids get it from?"
Bankotsu sent the monk and icy glare that shut him up.
Bankotsu tore off his sweat soaked haori and threw it on the ground. "All of you shut up and get to work! The sooner we get this done, the batter."
The men started arguing and tempers started flaring.
Shippo was playing water fight with the kids and ended up making a mud hole. He rolled his eyes. 'Can't they ever get along?'
The kids stopped squirting each other and stared at the arguing men.
Bankotsu bellowed, "It is too fucking hot for this shit! Quit bitching and let's get this done!"
Kagome glared at her husband. "Bankotsu!" she planted her hands firmly on her hips.
Shippo smirked. 'So they're hot eh? I'll fix that.' He bent down to the kids and whispered, "You want to help pop and the others cool off?"
The kids giggled as Shippo patted the large water gun. They nodded.
Shippo grinned. "On three."
Amaya and Shin grinned and their eyes twinkled with mischievous intent. Their water guns were empty but that wasn't going to stop them.
Shippo stood up and pumped up the water gun. "One, two, Three!" he shouted and soaked the arguing men.
The men all jumped as the cold water hit their bare skins. They turned around to ask what was going on and their eyes widened as a multitude of mud balls started flying their ways. They tried to duck but there were just too many.
Giggling and laughing Amaya and Shin started pelting all of the men with wild mud balls and Shippo continued soaking them until the water ran out.
Inuyasha wiped the mud from his face and growled. "Shippo you're toast!" he ran after the trouble making kitsune.
"Oi mutt, leave my kids alone!" Bankotsu tackled Inuyasha to the ground and they rolled over exchanging punches in the mud.
Miroku peeled his soaked robes from his skin and sighed. "Such unnecessary violence," he shook his head.
Seeing that he was safe from the hanyou's wrath, Shippo grinned and tossed the water gun aside. "Dog pile!" The three kids leapt at the mud wrestling males and piled on top of them.
Michiru and Kohaku had finally been allowed to get up. They both laughed and joined in.
Amaya and Shin tackled their father and began wrestling him and trying to hold him down.
Shippo grinned and started tickling his ribs.
Bankotsu laughed trying to fend off his kitsune son's fingers. Oi Shippo, no fair." He laughed again and growled. "Stop it!"
Shippo attacked again and the mercenary leader broke out in loud rumbling chuckles.
Amaya and Shin joined Kohaku and Michiru in tackling Inuyasha and grabbing his fuzzy white triangles.
"Oi let go, that hurts!"
Kaede, Kikyo, Tara, Kagome, and Sango, all busted out laughing as they watched the grown men trying to playfully fend off the kids.
Jakotsu decided to join in and tried to pin his leader. "I've got you now, big brother."
Bankotsu flipped Jakotsu onto his back and grinned. "Oh yeah?"
Jakotsu's eyes widened and he tried to struggle free.
Bankotsu gave his best friend a devious smirk. "Dog pile on uncle Ja!"
The kids grinned and enthusiastically attacked their new victim, who flailed about laughing as he tried not to push too hard, trying to get them off of him.
Bankotsu held his feet down to aid the kids in their endeavor. "That will teach you to think you've pinned me."
"No fair Big brother," he wailed trying to kick his feet free and fend off the excited kids at the same time.
Bankotsu grinned and held firm. "Get him kids."
On the way to the river for a drink, Miroku slipped in the mud and fell on his back.
Michiru and Kohaku tackled and began tickling their daddy.
Miroku's eyes widened and he giggled as Michiru found his ticklish spot. Kohaku grinned and started holding him down while his sister tickled their dad.
Laughter rang throughout the air as the harsh men melted into big kids and began mud wrestling with their kids and nephews.
Sango and Kagome exchanged a knowing look and ran over tackling the men as well.
Kagome picked up a big pile of squishy mud and rubbed it on top of her husband's head, deep into Bankotsu's hair. "Take that Mr. Potty mouth." She smirked.
Before he could retaliate, Amaya picked up a handful of mud and slapped it on his chest, tackling him from the side and Shin tackled him trying to pin him down.
Laughing Kagome held his shoulders down. "Get him kids. Show your Papa what we do to potty mouths."
Bankotsu laughed as the tree kids pinned him down and tickled him.
Tara snorted. "Looks like we will have a lot of laundry tomorrow, eh Kikyo?"
Kikyo chuckled. "Looks like it." She smiled and went back to separating her herbs. 'At least Inuyasha is having fun with the kids.' She stared at her flat belly and sighed, feeling a little envious.
'At least we have plenty of nieces and nephews for him to goof off with.' Tara exchanged a look with Kikyo. 'I know how you feel, Kikyo. I know how you feel.' She and Jakotsu had been trying for kids for the last few years but with no success. 'I'm beginning to think that my uncle took more from me than I first thought with all of his beatings.'
Kikyo watched the kids and their parent's playing in the mud and sighed. 'At least I have Inuyasha. I'll be happy with that.'
Kaede watched the two women, sharing in their secret yearnings. She'd never been allowed a family of her own. Being the only priestess left after her sister's death, it had been her duty to carry on in her sister's place. 'At least sister Kikyo is back.' She smiled. 'I can live my last few years watching her be happy with the man she loves, and that makes me happy.'
