I don't own squat
Memories…
Inuyasha smiled as he held onto Kagome, who in turn had Shippo in her lap. It has been about 4 hours since the others had come looking for them in the forest that morning, and well life for the hanyou and his small pack couldn't have been better.
After beating the living daylights out of the monk, he went back, to find Kagome singing to Shippo. And Inuyasha, for the first time since his mother passed away, felt complete. He had a mate who loved him unconditionally, and he even had a son whom he refused to let grow up without having a chance to have a childhood.
Yeah he finally accepted the fox as his own…
Shippo was like Kagome always said, he was just a kid and one who by nature was mischievous. So he will have to tolerate a few jokes every now and then. But it is better than the alternative…
Allowing the kid to get killed…
To counteract that from ever happening, Inuyasha had a talk with both his mate and the child. They spoke about the training Shippo will have to go through and things that he needed to learn to defend himself, should the time ever come where he is alone. The Fox for the first time was well and truly excited…
Flashback…
“Really Inuyasha…you would train me?”
“Yeah…I said I would…” The hanyou grunted. His stance is the familiar one of like I care, but yet if you were to look into his amber eyes. Well you would see the difference…
It was one of warmth and of affection for the little boy who rested in Kagome's arms. Shippo noticing this gets annoyed as the hanyou ruffles his hair, looks to both of them with a question in his eyes…
“Inuyasha…”
“Yeah Shippo?”
“Can I….can I …”
“What?”
“Can I call you Papa…and Kagome, Momma?”
Looking at Kagome thoughtfully, a message seems to pass between himself and his mate. Nodding his head at her hidden smile, Inuyasha looks at the fox, before swinging him up and onto his shoulders.
“Only on the condition that you lay off the ears, kid… Last time you chewed on them, they hurt…”
Giving a little squeak, Shippo turns bright red as Kagome catches him bending down to do just that. Still as Inuyasha's words wash over him, Shippo smiles and nods head. “Okay…Papa…”
Flashback ends…
Now here they were back at the village with the other members of his little pack and his two closest friends. Sango and Miroku…
The demon slayer was currently beating the daylights out of the monk again for groping her ass and at a most inappropriate time as well. Being as it was, Sango had been experiencing, what his Kagome had eloquently putting it…the beginnings of that time of month.
Technically it hasn't happened yet, for he was well as Shippo would know, but knowing the slayer who always got moody right before. Well you get the idea…
And the monk had to go and grab her…
Ah well…it provided some quality entertainment….
Holding tight to his miko, he growls softly in contentment as her fingers trace over his hands in idle motions. Looking down at the kimono, a villager had provided as thank you for saving his son when she had first arrived, it made his miko even more beautiful. A soft eggshell white with red and gold flowers embroidered on it, Kagome had almost refused saying it was too beautiful and she couldn't possibly take something for saving the man's son.
But…the man had prevailed. He was offended at first, but after his wife explained something to him about mikos and women in general. He was patient and eventually convinced her to take it as a gift and also as payment for any thing Kagome could provide in the future, for not just himself but for his future family members.
“Inuyasha…” Kagome worded softly. Her hands wandering to his cheek as he nuzzled her neck.
“Hmmm…?”
“Nothing…just wanting to see if you were listening to the conversation…”
“Keh…always am wench…always am…”
“Then you need to let me get up so I can go with her…”
“No…”
“Inuyasha!”
Smiling down at reddened cheeks, his miko realizes that he was deliberately annoying her to provoke a reaction. Giving a good growl of irritation, the miko slams her elbow into his stomach as Shippo scrambles off her lap.
“WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!”
“Just because…” His mate said sweetly. Wincing in pain somewhat, Inuyasha watches as she turns and offers her hand to Shippo who eagerly comes with her. “Besides keep an eye on Miroku…”
“Don't I always?”
“True…but sometimes…” The young woman countered thoughtfully. “Sometimes I swear I can sense your presence…”
“Feh! You were just imagining things!”
“Inuyasha…”Gulping slightly Inuyasha prepared for the worst, for he recognizes that tone. And it is the one right before she is to say the word…
“Never mind…your look tells me all I need to know.” Kagome said with a smile. “And Inuyasha…”
“Yeah….”
“If I catch you spying on me and her I will sit you into oblivion…” His mate worded calmly and with calculated precision. “But if it's just me…”
Hearing her words, Inuyasha looks up incredulously as she giggles and flounces away with Sango and Shippo. His mind is left reeling with the ideas that her words have conjured up…and well he sighs happily…
Admittedly though and on rare occasion, he has spied on her bathing. He always told himself it was just to make sure she was safe…his body knew better though…
Still it was nothing compared to that one time right before the little adventure against Princess Kaguya…
Having heard a commotion coming from the hot springs that the miko and slayer had went to, he had gotten there in time to be sat in the middle of the spring. It was just where he had landed that caused no end of embarrassment for the both of them, and for weeks on end
He landed in her lap in the water. In her very naked lap…in the very hot water of the spring for which at that very moment, when he realized where he was, he had wished it was cold.
Really…really cold…
He remembers running the minute the spell wore off, far and away from the enticing feel of her body against his cheek. And despite the water, that scent of her trying to enclose him in…
Back then he was still trying to keep his promise to Kikyo…but not anymore…
Now he had something or should he say someone to live for..
His mate…his new son…and his friends…
Watching as the monk comes to, Inuyasha debates about leaning forward and beating the pervert's head in himself, to cause him to stay knocked out longer. Reason why?
So he could go and convince a certain miko to take a bath with him after she finishes up with Sango…who in turn would probably appreciate the monk remaining unconscious. Maybe the beating he took would have finally knocked some sense into him, AND not to grab her ass when she was in these moods….
But looking at the bruises the pervert had already managed to gather…he won't do it no matter how much he wants to. After all he could afford to be nice just this once. Miroku was only human.
