Ch. 11 Back to the Group

"Inu… Yasha… Mom's… m…m…" Sango sighed and looked over at the shell-shocked kit.

"Mate, Shippou. That makes Inuyasha your father." The fox turned huge blue-green eyes towards her, and the hunter's heart clenched. She knew Shippou wasn't upset at the idea that his `mother' had a mate, nor that it was a hanyou. It wasn't even really the fact that her mate was Inuyasha. It was that he was used to seeing the annoying hanyou in a: `older-brother-who-lives-to-tease-you-and-beat-the-mess-out-of-you' type of way.

She briefly considered consoling the kit, but a familiar hand resting on her bottom caught her attention, and she spun around to quickly smack the monk across the face. However, Miroku was granted a temporary reprieve when Shippou screamed "Kagome!" and took off, running to the woods.

Immediately, Sango started to follow the youkai to where her adopted sister would be, but not without finishing her original mission of punishing Miroku first, courtesy of Hiraikotsu.

By the time she caught up with her other friends, she was relieved to see with were both still fine, even though she saw that Inuyasha was now in his human form. She glanced at the fox cub leaping from one adoptive parent's shoulder to the other, sniffing at their marks before finally accepting it and settling down on the hanyou-turned-human's shoulder.

It was surprising, but they both smelled a lot alike now. Kagome was still mostly her own scent, but with Inuyasha's scent was now heavily mixed in with it. And Inuyasha still smelled like always, but blended with some of Kagome's own comforting scent. He sighed, and looked up at the human he would be calling his father. Shippou considered Inuyasha's protectiveness towards Kagome, and wondered if it would not mean that the hanyou would protect him like that, too.

He watched as his mother moved to hold his father's hand again, and then Shippou clambered up to rest on Inuyasha's shoulder. As he flopped down to rest, he saw that Sango had just arrived, and probably didn't realize that Miroku was coming up behind her.

It hurt. That boomerang really hurt. It hurt even more so when it was a beautiful demon exterminator who was slamming the weapon down upon your head. All of a sudden, Miroku felt a rush of sympathy for all of the people and youkai ever hit by that huge demon's bone that Sango called "Hiraikotsu".

Standing, Miroku looking in the direction Shippou and the slayer had fled, then remembered what Shippou had shrieked before taking off, and began to run. For some reason, he was worried, and he didn't thin kit was just because it was nighttime, even though it was pretty dark… Wait. That's what it was. There was no moon. And when there's not moon, then…

Inuyasha was a human.

When he arrived in the clearing, just as Shippou was moving to rest on the former hanyou's shoulder, his suspicions were confirmed by the sight of black hair and no dog-ears. As he walked up behind Sango, he saw Shippou's eyes slide to him, as well as a curious yet warning glance from Inuyasha. Miroku, having spent so much time with the hanyou, understood it's meaning, and guessed he must have smirked, because Inuyasha finally spoke up.

"Don't even think about it, houshi. We went to visit Kagome's family. Besides," he puffed up slightly, "we needed more Ramen." While at one point, Kagome would have been hurt by the fact that he was so intent on the soup, but she had heard him mention her family first, and so simply laughed at how cute he looked then, trying to appear important and defiant while talking about a food he was obsessed over.

She watched as Sango spun around and saw Miroku before creeping away slowly, much to the amusement of the new family watching her. The monk actually walked past the apprehensive exterminator and towards the wary Inuyasha. With a grin and a clap on the shoulder (opposite the one Shippou was resting on), Miroku congratulated his friend for his "luck with women."

Growling, Inuyasha pulled his fist back and punched the annoying houshi on the shoulder, wishing he had his fangs to make the growl more unnerving. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" His eyes narrowed at the grinning monk at the same time as Kagome's hand tightened around his own, silently warning him that too much more violence might result in a "sit". Still growling softly at Miroku, Inuyasha squeezed his mate's hand quickly in reassurance.

Kagome released her love's hand when Sango came closer to speak to her, while Inuyasha and Shippou listened to Miroku ask questions like: "When will the first child be born?" "Did her family accept you?" "How does it feel to be a married man?" It would take a close ear to hear the honest curiosity and concern for his friend, but the hanyou and kitsune, both used to relying strongly on their sensitive ears, were able to catch it, even though Inuyasha was currently a human.

And while Inuyasha was answering the guy's questions, Kagome was answering Sango's, telling her how her brother was tailing Inuyasha all day, and how he had practically glued himself to the hanyou when he learned that his idol was now his REAL brother. Then she explained what glue was.

But none of them knew that kilometers away, far enough out of range so that Kagome was unable to sense the shards, a figure was coming across her clothes that she had left on the ground for her mate to find, not knowing that she would end up running into him and going back with her friends, forgetting all about the arrow made from the ripped garments, which to the person who found them, could smell three distinct scents on them.

Kagome.

Inuyasha.

And sex.
