Chapter 12 - Visitors

Inuyasha leapt out of the tree with Kagome, silently following the girl's mother.

She didn't seem mad at all, just kind of happily confused. She's happy? Inuyasha thought curiously. Why isn't she hitting me on the head with something, or banishing me for taking Kagome like I did? He smirked to himself. If she asks, I'll say Kagome started it. She did too...

Kagome sighed to herself. Leave it to her mom to act calm and cool about her daughter losing her virginity to a half-demon. Ooh, that sounds bad doesn't it... Hehe, I'm a rebel....

Both her mother and Inuyasha looked curiously at Kagome when she chuckled to herself, but she didn't seem to notice. Shrugging, her mother kept walking, dwelling in her own happy thoughts.

Surely they know that I'm not really mad? I'm a little angry of course, she's my only daughter... But she's 18 now, and she has the right to do whatever she wants. I'm so happy for them...It took three damn long years but it's happened. Not quite the way I expected but.... She looked behind her at the couple, Inuyasha blushing as he softly rubbed his nose in the crook of Kagome's neck while he carried her. They're happy, so I'm happy.

Of course, I won't be entirely happy until I have my grandchildren...

The entered the house again, and Souta looked up from where he was sitting on the couch watching TV. He smiled when he saw Inuyasha and Kagome. Now he really was going to have a big brother!

"Souta, could you leave for a minute please? I'd like to speak to your sister and Inuyasha for a minute." His mother asked. The boy pouted and left the room sulking. He wanted to know what was going on! Once Souta left the room, Kagome and Inuyasha took the couch and her mom sat on a chair opposite them. Inuyasha took Kagome's small hand in his.

"Well now," Kagome's mother began, "What do you two plan on doing?" They stared at her for a moment, trying to think. Inuyasha was about to tell her that they already were mates, and that nothing more needed to be done. But he decided that neither of the women would appreciate that. Besides, he'd know if she was pregnant in a few days. He was a hanyou after all. Youkai always knew when their mates were pupping.

"Well, Mom, I think we're just going to hang out here for a few days to figure everything out. That's all." Kagome said, breaking the silence with a smile. Her mother nodded.

"And what if you're pregnant? Are you going to stay here or go back? What would be better for the babe?" Kagome blushed a little.

"Mooom, we don't even know if I'm pregnant, I told you that. It was kind of... an accident more than anything else. This was definitely not planned." Inuyasha grunted. An accident huh?

Kagome quickly looked at Inuyasha. She hadn't meant it like that. She smiled lightly and squeezed his hand in reassurance. Then she looked back at her mother, who was smiling very happily at the two.

"And marriage? Will you two get married?" she asked. Kagome bit her lip and looked thoughtfully at Inuyasha. From what Sango and Shippou had managed to let slip, mating was basically marriage for youkai. She fingered the mark on her neck tenderly as she replied.

"Well... not really. See, when....we uh.... mated, it's basically like a marriage anyway. So going through a human marriage wouldn't really be needed. I'll be safer now, because youkai will know that I'm his and no other's." Inuyasha smirked to himself. All mine....

"Oh, I see. So... you don't want a marriage?"

"Come on Mom, I'm 18. And anyway, all my friends will want to come and-"

"Oh, that reminds me, your friends called and said that they wanted to see you. After you all graduated, you never see them anymore. I told them to come over for dinner, but I didn't know you'd be here."

Kagome stared at her mother, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. Inuyasha grinned and put a hand under her chin to close her mouth. She glared at him and attempted to bite his fingers, without any satisfying results unfortunately. The hanyou looked at the older woman with a frown.

"Can we hide?"

Kagome's mother rolled her eyes at the hanyou. Obviously that wasn't an option. Kagome rose with a smile and faced Inuyasha with a wink.

"Come on Inuyasha. You'll be human tonight remember? No worries." He still grumbled as he took her outstretched hand and got up with her. The woman rose from her chair with another mysterious smile that seemed only too familiar these days.

"So... would you two like to go upstairs and change?"

"MOTHER!"

Ayame looked up to see her other best friend and a strange young man descending from upstairs. She curiously looked to Kagome's mother, who was smiling a little mysterious smile. The just-out-of-school girl looked to her other friends for clarification. Was this the same boy they'd met a few years earlier? (A/n: In a manga that I really can't remember at this point, they do meet him... briefly..it was actually a very funny chapter...)

Eri returned the confused look, adding a shrug to it as Kagome and the now revealed and completely human Inuyasha grudgingly took seats at the table. Well, judging from Inuyasha's face, he was fairly hostile over the idea, but at least Kagome was smiling.

"Hey you guys, long time no see!" she awkwardly waved at them from her sitting position and quickly gave up that novelty. It hurt her elbows.

Her three friends smiled back, though Yuka looked almost as mad as Inuyasha.

"Where have you been these past weeks Kagome! We tried to call but you were never home!" she paused here and looked over Kagome thoughtfully. "You're not sick again are you? Because that would just suck." Kagome looked at her friend curiously and managed to stifle a laugh.

"No, Yuka, I'm not sick. I've just been spending a lot of time with Inuyasha," he grunted in agreement, "And that's all. I'm not sick, I swear." Thank god school is over... I don't think Grandpa would have been able to come up with anymore illnesses... A brief wave of sadness overcame her at the remembrance of the deceased old crocker... I wish I could have thanked him for it...

But before she knew it, Kagome was swept into conversations with her friends, reliving old times and old unsuccessful dates with the boy now dubbed "Hobo". At these key points Inuyasha visibly tensed every time the goof-ball's name was mentioned - Incorrectly...stupid hobo - and Kagome, the only one who noticed, succeeded in calming him down by placing a gentle hand on his jean-clad thigh. (A/n: doesn't 'thigh' seem oddly wrong when used on males?....sorry....)

He relaxed slightly, taking comfort ion Kagome's presence. As usual. Sometimes he wanted to slap himself for becoming so.... strange and different around her, but it couldn't be helped. Trying not to fall in love with her had definitely not worked. But he smiled as he thought blissfully, and somewhat distractedly, of a future presented to his mind's eye that contained Kagome... flowers... little triangle-eared pups... and.... bananas?

"Yoo-hoo! Earth to lover-boy! We were wondering if we could yank Kagome away for a few seconds. That alright? Right, we'll see you later then!" And with that, the three young women really did yank a rather reluctant Kagome away from her hanyou. With the offending banana as well.

The hanyou looked wistfully at the doorway where the women had departed. He pouted for a while before realizing that he wasn't alone. (Ominous evil laugh entered here....sorry...) Kagome's mother looked up at Inuyasha a bit worriedly before smiling and downing the last of her "tea".

Right... so now what do I do... wait for Kagome in her room or something? With a rather unsettling smile, he rose from the table and, distracted once again, even bowed slightly at Kagome's mother before dashing up the stairs.

Oooook.... now I'm all alone and it's all my fault.... And with that happy thought she stood up with a sigh to pour herself some more tea.
