Chapter 8 - Weekend with Higurashis

 

 

Inuyasha flopped on his bed loosening the tie at his neck. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, thoughts of Kagome filling his mind. He had just dropped her off at home from the Charity function and played with the pup before returning home. He should have been tired, but sleep was not his top priority. He rolled over onto his stomach trying to smother a grin that wouldn't go away. It had only been thirty minutes, but he missed her more than he ever missed anyone in his life. Her smile, her sparkling eyes, her lips, and that dress; Inuyasha smirked, next time, he'd make sure he was the only one to see that her in that dress.

 

 

Pulling his phone out, he contemplated on calling his new found woman. Was she going to think he was desperate? He swore he was acting like a shy teenage boy, but he couldn't help it. Although he had just gotten out of a long relationship with Kikyo, he didn't want Kagome to feel like she had taken the spot of Kikyo because that was the last thing he felt. Truly, Kagome was a breath of fresh air, a cold drink on a scorching day, and she was his lifesaver.

 

 

Inuyasha sighed, clutching the phone in his fist. He knew Kagome would never judge him for his insecurities, but there was that small feeling that perhaps he was moving too fast with her and going to scare her away for good.

 

 

He groaned, trying to sort out what he was feeling. Even before he got up, his phone vibrated. The flashing of the phone screen read `Wench' causing Inuyasha to shoot up from his position. Was it true? Was Kagome really calling him?

 

 

Taking a deep breath, his finger pressed the green button as he lifted the cell to his ear.

 

 

“Hello?” Kagome's voice flitted to his ears as Inuyasha's face immediately flamed. She wasn't even near him, but the softness in her voice had stolen his breath. A goofy smile replaced his nervousness.

 

 

“Hello, Inuyasha?” she spoke again, jarring him from his motionless state.

 

 

“Yeah, sorry. Dropped my phone on the bed,” he lied. He didn't want her know she was the cause for his sudden shy silence, but he could hear her giggle.

 

 

“Liar,” she stated. “Your hanyou reflexes wouldn't allow you to drop your phone,” she teased with her voice.

 

 

“You think so?” he retorted, falling on his back.

 

 

“I know so,” Kagome said as if it were a fact. “So, did you make it home alright?”

 

 

Again, the pink in Inuyasha's cheeks burst to red.

 

 

“Yeah, but I miss you and Keishi,” he pointed out clearly. He imagined her sitting on the couch biting her lip from his honest feeling. When she didn't respond, he regretted even saying something like that. Perhaps “missing” each other was too early for their relationship.

 

 

“Kago—”

 

 

“We miss you too!” She blurted suddenly, cutting him off. Inuyasha couldn't believe the relief that rushed through him.

 

 

“Well, if you say it like that, I'd say you miss me a lot.” Inuyasha couldn't help but tease her.

 

 

“And what if I do? You've got a problem with that Takahashi?”

 

 

Inuyasha had to hold in a scream of joy. He loved the way his last name rolled off her tongue.

 

 

“Absolutely not, but I'd have a problem if you didn't miss me.” Inuyasha could hear the girlish laughter echo from the speakers of his phone. Now that he thought about it, it had been an extremely long time since he'd felt such calm. When had that happened?

 

 

“So,” Kagome began. “Do you have plans tomorrow?”

 

 

Inuyasha scratched his head, “Nope. What's up?”

 

 

On the other side of the phone, Kagome chewed the inside of her cheek.

 

 

“Well,” she paused, trying to calm her racing heart. “Keishi and I were thinking of going on a picnic and I know how much he'd love it if you could come.” Kagome squeezed her eyes shut. He was going to say no, she just knew it.

 

 

“Just Keishi? So you wouldn't love if I came?” He could hear her fumbling with her words, but that had gotten a bigger smile out of him.

 

 

“I'd love if you'd come,” she quickly responded. “Then, I'll see you tomorrow Inuyasha. Goodnight.” And she hung up.

 

 

Inuyasha didn't get the chance to respond seeming as she had already decided his plans for him. That smirk of his never left his face, but he'd make sure he'd come plenty early for their picnic. He'd also have to thank Keishi later for the little secret the pup had tipped him earlier that night.

Kagome lied restlessly on her bed. Although Keishi was tucked safely in her arms and asleep, Kagome knew sleep was the last thing on her mind. Her eyes glanced at the digital clock on her night stand. Two AM it read and she rolled her head back into its original position. If she didn't sleep now, she could guarantee she'd be less lively once morning came.

 

 

Running her hand through Keishi's silky hair, she kissed his forehead, a smile playing at her lips. His ears twitched slightly before pressing against her chest as if looking for her heart beat. Her baby had grown up so quickly she couldn't believe it. With each passing day he was more alert and much smarter. She rubbed his ears in gentle circles getting a soft purr in response. Kagome hugged him closer while shutting her eyes.

 

 

The night's events replayed themselves in her mind, the constant feeling of Inuyasha's arms around her made her shiver. She never believed that things would turn out like how they did. Years ago when she had been heartbroken and lost, she never imagined a life with Inuyasha. For the longest time, she thought Inuyasha and Kikyo would marry and have children of their own, but it was quite unexpected that they were no longer together. Although Inuyasha never mentioned much about his previous relationship, somehow Kagome felt as if she had been the seed to their break up.

 

 

Still, feelings of regret flooded Kagome's restless mind as the promise she made with Kikyo haunted her. As much as she was happy with Inuyasha's mutual feelings, it didn't sit right with her that she and Kikyo had never resolved their dispute. The facial expression full of contempt that Kikyo left Kagome with was the reason she had been able to let Inuyasha go, but now that Inuyasha had come to her, Kagome wanted to love him even if it meant Kikyo hating her for life.

 

 

Releasing her grip on Keishi, she tucked him underneath her sheets before getting out of bed. If sleep wasn't going to overcome her, then she'd go looking for it. Stretching, Kagome crept out of the room down the stairs not bothering to turn on the lights. She was already yawning when she reached the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. Even before she could reach the cabinet to get a glass, the sound of a car engine died in front of her home.

 

 

Turning her attention to the noise, Kagome silently walked towards the window nearest the front door. She peeked through the curtains, but it was too dark to determine who was driving so late at night. Ignoring whatever had made sound, Kagome shuffled back to the kitchen until she heard a rattling at her door knob. Ducking behind the kitchen counter, she squinted her eyes against the darkness. She could see for a fact that her door knob was slowly being unlocked by whoever was outside.

 

 

By now, her heart was pounding quickly and she was losing breath. No one had her house key except for herself and the thought that a burglar was about to rampage her home made her dizzy. Slightly shaking, Kagome finally got the nerve to stand up. If the thief got in her home she was sure he would creep up the stairs to her snoozing son. She would not allow it and reached for the large decorative candle Sango had bought for her. She never knew how useful it would be until now.

 

 

Tip-toeing towards the door, she stood on the nearby stool making sure to get a good angle to bonk the stranger. Slowly, the lock on the door knob clicked as the door creaked open. With one powerful swing, Kagome let the large candle crash down on the person's head.

 

 

“Ow. What the fuck!” The stranger growled stumbling on the ground, bag in tow.

 

 

Kagome immediately dropped the candle recognizing who exactly had decided to trespass into her home.

 

 

“Inuyasha?” She mouthed unbelievably before losing her balance on the chair and falling forward.

 

 

Despite the absolutely painful growing lump between his ears, Inuyasha managed to catch her as they both tumbled on the ground, he taking the brunt of the fall.

 

 

Inuyasha gave her a crooked smile. “Surprise,” he managed, already thinking of a way to explain his sudden intrusion.

 

 

“You jerk!” Kagome pounded both of her fists on his chest angrily. “What were you thinking? Why if it had been someone else?” she asked, her body trembling.

 

 

Inuyasha only gazed in her terrified eyes, hating how much fear emitted from her scent because of him. He suddenly pulled her to his chest, kissing the top of her head as he kept his hold on her. He could hear her soft frightened sobs.

 

 

“Sorry,” he murmured into her ears. “I didn't think you were awake.” Inuyasha rubbed her backside tenderly, inhaling her scent. She didn't smell as afraid as before and Inuyasha's guilt slowly dissipated.

 

 

After sometime, Kagome propped herself up with her elbows staring down into his golden eyes.

 

 

“How did you get in anyways?” She questioned already trying to stand. Inuyasha helped her up remembering why she had thwacked him on the head.

 

 

“Actually,” Inuyasha picked his bag up before pulling the key out of the door knob. “Keishi told me where you hid the spare key.”

 

 

Kagome remained shocked, her mouth hanging open. She couldn't believe her son. When had he become so devious?

 

 

Inuyasha shut and locked the door before turning to her. He couldn't help the words the escaped his mouth suddenly.

 

 

“I'd shut that pretty little mouth of yours before I decide to stick my tongue in.” He winked just as fast as Kagome snapped her jaw shut, a pretty pink powdering her cheek.

 

 

Her eyes followed him as he walked into the living room.

 

 

She still couldn't believe her little trusting baby had told the grown hanyou such a secret. She should have been completely disappointed at Keishi, but a large sprouting smile replaced her thoughts.

 

 

Making her way to Inuyasha, she flicked the lights on right as he pulled out a large red blanket to cover himself. He paid her no attention as he continued pulling out a pillow and another sheet before settling on the couch.

 

 

“What are you doing Inuyasha?” Kagome's arms were crossed in front of her chest as she leaned over the couch to get his attention.

 

 

“What does it look like I'm doing?” He answered, averting his gaze and turning his back. “I'm sleeping. Good night Kagome. Please turn off the lights before you leave.”

 

 

Kagome scoffed at his actions. As much as she was tempted to jump on the couch and share his warmth, she was not very happy with him.

 

 

“Inuya—”

 

 

She didn't get to finish her sentence because he suddenly shifted to pull her down across his chest again. Kagome was about to give him another mouth full of what she thought, but Inuyasha decided to entertain her mouth with his own.

 

 

Flipping her on her back, Inuyasha crawled on her, attacking her supple lips. She fought back at first, but the moment he reintroduced his tongue, she swallowed all of her words and pulled him forward. Inuyasha wanted to prolong their intimate position, but someone had climbed down the stairs unannounced.

 

 

Pulling away from her, Kagome looked absolutely disappointed causing Inuyasha to brush his nose against her, trailing it towards her ears sensually.

 

 

“I didn't want to stop either,” he honestly admitted. “But we company.”

 

 

Kagome yelped before jolting into a sitting position. Inuyasha chuckled at her actions; she was so predictable.

 

 

“Hey baby,” Kagome's voice changed into her motherly tone as a tired hanyou pup lazily glided across the floor with his blanket and bear.

 

 

“Mama,” he yawned, his miniature fangs sticking out, not to mention his bed hair. He walked around the couch and spotted Inuyasha grinning at him. The pup let a carefree smile grace his lips as he pounced on Inuyasha's chest knocking the hanyou flat on the couch.

 

 

“Mr. Something back!” Keishi squealed happily already pulling Inuyasha's arm around his tiny form. Keishi snuggled deeply into Inuyasha inhaling the grown man's scent. Everything about it smelled like what he dreamt a father would smell like. A happy smile played across his face as he yanked his mother down so she laid on top of Inuyasha in a similar fashion that he had. Keishi even positioned Inuyasha's arm around his mama's waist. With one large radiant smile, Keishi rested his head on Inuyasha's shoulder and fell into an instant sleep.

 

 

Both adults didn't say a word as they observed the sleeping boy happily. Inuyasha, not wanting to commit Kagome to such a position if she wasn't willing, cocked his head to speak with her, but she had fallen asleep already. Without another word, Inuyasha pulled her and Keishi closer to him using the arm he held Keishi in to pull the blanket on top of them. Kissing both of their foreheads, Inuyasha took the biggest and deepest breath. He didn't know what it was about them, but he felt a very fresh feeling he forgot ever existed.

 

 

So this is what having a family feels like. Shortly, like his companions, Inuyasha shut his eyes breathing in their warmth.

Keishi rubbed his sleepy eyes awake. There was something about this morning that gave him all the energy in the world. Forgetting what had occurred in the night, Keishi was about to slip off the couch but Inuyasha's reflexive instincts pulled him up again.

 

 

Keishi blinked openly twice realizing his whereabouts. He was pressed firmly against his big time hero, Mr. Something. It seemed Inuyasha had not woken and Keishi couldn't have smiled bigger with the way Inuyasha was holding his mama. With his elbows propped up on Inuyasha's chest, Keishi rested his cheeks between both of his hands. He observed the sleeping pair silently before focusing his attention on Inuyasha.

 

In his three years in life, Keishi couldn't have imagined what it felt to have a father or what a father looked like. He didn't like other men very much because they stank, but Inuyasha smelled much different from those men that Keishi didn't give a care.

 

 

His mama once explained to him that children looked like their parents, but Keishi didn't physically look like his mama at all unless it was the night of the new moon. Mr. Something, on the other hand, seemed to have the same characteristics as Keishi that the pup wanted to believe that Mr. Something was his daddy. The way Inuyasha held his mom and interacted with him was enough to tell Keishi that Mr. Something wasn't just Mr. Something.

 

 

Keishi's face blossomed with the realization that Mr. Something was perhaps his daddy. He dug his nose into Inuyasha's neck giving a big sniff and then repeating the same with his mother. He also lifted his nose to his arm sniffing for their scents, but only Keishi's clothes smelt like Mr. Something, otherwise he smelled mostly like his mama. Sighing in defeat, Keishi collapsed onto Inuyasha, tugging the man's arm closer to his body and shutting his lids. He didn't care that he didn't smell like Inuyasha, but Keishi wasn't going to deny it. Somewhere in his silent blood, he knew Inuyasha was his father. His daddy had finally come back from his long vacation.

Inuyasha lazily yawned, rolling his stiff neck. He eyed the two sleeping occupants, the feeling of protection surfacing to his chest. He twisted his head to the side to read the large hanging clock. The clock ticked to make time noon and his stomach growled. Although he wanted to remain in his current position a little longer with the both of them, the rumbling of his stomach woke the sensitive pup.

 

 

“Mr. Something,” Keishi yawned, stretching his numb arms. “Hun-gree?” he questioned already sliding off the couch to stretch.

 

 

Inuyasha snickered before feeling Kagome rouse in his arms. He kissed her forehead slightly brushing her bangs to the side.

 

 

“Morning boys,” Kagome commented feeling Inuyasha's tender lips on her cool head. She sat in upright position rubbing her droopy eyes.

 

 

“No mama, it ta-welve now! No more mor-neen,” Keishi corrected gripping a finger from each adult. The powerful boy yanked them up leading them to the stairs and towards his room. The entire trip, Keishi had scolded them for sleeping in so late and mumbling to this mama that Mr. Something was hungry. Kagome and Inuyasha stared at each other wondering just who the parent was.

 

 

They arrived at the boy's bathroom as Keishi quickly pulled out one of his unused transformer toothbrushes and handed it over Inuyasha. Keishi then grabbed his own and handed his mama her Optimus Prime brush she had been using.

 

 

“Qwick, brush teeth then eat!” Keishi squealed squeezing a thick line of bright pink toothpaste on his brush before handing it over to the two amused adults.

 

 

Inuyasha squeezed a large dot of the toothpaste on his brush before helping Kagome. They quickly followed Keishi's lead brushing the tops of their teeth before moving to the bottom. Inuyasha had to admit that he was enjoying this moment very much. He continued his consistent brushing motion with the other two Higurashis as they shared one sink.

 

 

Keishi was the first to finish as he turned the faucet on while cupping his hands underneath the running water. Bringing it to his face, Keishi gargled the water in his mouth before rinsing out the excess foam. He also scrubbed his face hurriedly and stepped down from the stool that allowed him to reach the sink.

 

 

“Why you two slow?” Keishi pointed out and giggled wiping his wet face. “Hurwee mama, Mr. Something hungree.”

 

 

The excited little boy ran from the bathroom to his room already pulling off his pajamas and throwing them in his dirty basket.

 

 

At the same time, Inuyasha and Kagome both spat out their own foam formed from the pink toothpaste before rinsing their mouths. Inuyasha wiped the dripping water from his lips with his back hand, sneaking a peek at Kagome. She had a dribble of water leaking from the corner of her mouth as his hand reached out to wipe it away. His intention was to only remove the wetness that dared to fall from her face, but his hands suddenly cupped her slim cheeks before initiating a kiss on her full lips. It was short, but sweet, Inuyasha licking his lips.

 

 

“Bubble gum flavored,” he winked at the blushing woman. “I could get used to that.”

 

 

Kagome yanked him forward until his chest was attached to her bosom a devilish grin surfacing. “Want to try mint?” she offered, tugging his two silver forelocks.

 

 

Inuyasha didn't answer as he gave her what she wanted making sure this time his kiss would satisfy her fully. Parting her lips slowly with the large muscle in his mouth, he had planned to completely steal her breaths, but the existence of another person barged through the kiddy bathroom.

 

 

“EWW! Mama no kiss-seen. Mr. Something hun-gree,” Keishi reminded for the third time, tapping his foot on the floor with his arms crossed before running out of the room for the second time. The pup was already down the stairs as the pair held each other awkwardly after being caught swapping spit.

 

 

Kagome unexpectedly pushed her unoccupied hanyou away, turning shades of red yet to be discovered. Inuyasha only chuckled to her dismay, but pecked her cheeks.

 

 

Wiping her hands on the towel, she finally remembered how they had ended up in this predicament. She spun around to the hanyou that stared at her intently, reaching for the spot between his ears.

 

 

“I'm sorry about last night.” Kagome gently rubbed the sore spot although the lump was long gone.

 

 

“Keh!” Inuyasha scoffed. “No candle ain't gonna kill me.”

 

 

Kagome only laughed at his bad grammar, slightly pinching his ears.

 

 

“Ow wench! What was that for?” He pushed her wayward hands away to rub the place she had pinched.

 

 

“That's for being so cute.” Kagome winked.

 

 

Inuyasha snatched her around the waist lifting her high until she was face to face with him. His eyes didn't once leave hers as his nose inched closer and closer to her face. He wasn't going to let her escape after saying something like that. If he had his ways, he'd bend her over and teach her that he wasn't cute at all. Cute didn't exist in his dictionary, on the contrary, he preferred downright sexy.

 

 

“MAMA!” Keishi yelled from the kitchen, breaking the passionate mood that had built up. Inuyasha suddenly placed her on her feet to allow her to take in the breath she was holding. He truly was enjoying his moments with Kagome.

 

 

“You'd better hurwee, Mr. Something hun-gree,” Inuyasha imitated for fun. That got him a smack in the chest.

 

 

“We'll see about that,” Kagome retorted her blush staining her cheeks as she stomped after her son.

 

 

The grown hanyou stood alone, admiring Kagome's strut, or was it the swaying of her behind? He couldn't remember, but he followed after his two mischievous persons. Even before he made it down the stairs, he could hear the clanging of pots and the sizzling of bacon, something he hadn't had the tendency of eating for a while.

 

 

Upon entering the kitchen, Kagome was busily cooking their meal while the pup scribbled away on a piece of paper with a large collection of colors scattered across the table. Sauntering towards the little hanyou, Inuyasha peeked over the boy's shoulder realizing the beginning of a portrait. Pulling the chair besides the pup, Inuyasha sat down.

 

 

“Eh, what's this?” Inuyasha questioned.

 

 

Keishi set down his golden yellow pencil and pushed the drawing over until it was between the two of them.

 

 

“I draw me, mama, and you!” He explained pointing out the heads of each of them respectively. A genuine smile crossed Inuyasha's face as he stared at the paper. Keishi had drawn the three of them sleeping together on the couch. Although proportions were completely off, Inuyasha was surprised at detailed the boy had beeen. Every feature of him had been spot on, the fangs, the hair, even the claws.

 

 

Somewhere inside of Inuyasha, a new feeling surfaced engulfing all of his senses. He didn't know what it was about Keishi, but Inuyasha wanted to know more about him. The longer he was with both Kagome and her son, the more he longed to be with them. It was as if his blood was trying to make a claim on them.

 

 

Inuyasha took a deep breath calming his thoughts. Pulling the boy on top of his lap to face him, Inuyasha hadn't realized he'd unconsciously rubbed the pup's ears.

 

 

“Did you like sleeping with me and your mama last night?” Inuyasha asked. He didn't miss the reddened colored that passed the pup's cheek before Keishi nodded strongly.

 

 

“I like it lot! A lot! A lot! A lot!” Keishi exclaimed while wrapping his arms around Inuyasha and burying his face in the grown man's chest. “We do it again?”

 

 

“Do what again?” Kagome inquired, setting down the large plates full of bacon, eggs, and rice.

 

 

Instead of answering her question, Keishi pushed the drawing in her direction. She looked at him giving her hanyous curious eyes.

 

 

“It make me ha-pee. Ha-pee! Ha-pee!” Keishi explained, clapping his hands in the air. “We have sleep over tonite mama! Again! Can we?” Keishi begged with his large golden orbs, making sure they were slightly watered to have the overall dramatic affect.

 

 

Kagome tried to ignore those puppy eyes. “Don't tell me this is your idea Inuyasha?” Both hands were on her hips as she glared at the larger hanyou through the slit of her eyes.

 

 

Inuyasha put his hands up, feigning innocence. “I swear Kagome. I really had nothing to do with this. I was just admiring the drawing.” Inuyasha felt as if Kagome didn't completely believe him, but he had to admit that the pup's idea of a sleep over was brilliant. As much as he wanted to hide his amusement, he couldn't.

 

 

“Maybe,” she answered, turning around to grab plates and utensils.

 

 

Keishi pouted. “Ever-wee time mama say maybe, it a NO! No fair!” Keishi crossed his arms across his chest angrily, his bottom lip sticking out. Just by a quick whiff, Inuyasha could tell the pup was going to cry and Inuyasha wasn't about to let that happen.

 

 

“Well, if your mama doesn't want to, how about just you and me?” Inuyasha suggested, lifting the boy in his arms. Keishi's foul mood changed within a split second.

 

 

“Me and Mr. Something?” Keishi cocked his head to get his mom's attention. “Can I mama?”

 

 

Kagome distributed the dishes, giving Inuyasha the evil eye but finally giving in.

 

 

“Fine, but I want you to pick up all your toys before you and Mr. Something can have a sleep over.” Kagome sat down across the two as her son quickly squiggled out of Inuyasha's hold to run over and hug her.

 

 

“Thank you mama! I wuv you a lot!” Keishi climbed up to kiss her on the lips, hugging around her neck for good measure. “I pick up toys after eating mama. Prawmiss!” He pecked her lips one more time before finding his seat at the end of the table between the adults.

 

 

As excited as Inuyasha was for the pup, he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous at how openly Keishi had kissed the lips that belonged to him.

 

 

Dammit. It's her son for crying out loud.

 

 

.

 

 

.

 

 

.

 

 

 

Three hours later, the trio took to the road, Keishi buckled in and napping in the backseat while Inuyasha drove, Kagome sitting in the passenger seat.

 

 

“Explain to me again Inuyasha. I feel like I've been tricked.” Kagome questioned through clenched teeth.

 

 

Inuyasha chuckled. “The pup wanted a sleep over. What more is there?” He stole a glance at her, but she clearly was still upset.

 

 

“I understand that, but why all the way at your place?” Kagome glowered in his direction making sure he was feeling the wrath she was cooking up. It wasn't that she didn't want to go over to Inuyasha's place, she was just unsure of where her and Inuyasha's relationship was or where it was heading. Plus, she was still trying to figure out a way to tell Keishi that she and Inuyasha had hooked up, not to mention the bigger problem that she'd been trying to solve for the past four years. How was she going to break it to Inuyasha that Keishi was their son?

 

 

Looking away, Kagome tried not to be angry at Inuyasha. Honestly, she wasn't angry at him but at herself. If Inuyasha continued to shower her with his kisses and affection, Kagome knew she was gonna crack and give up her biggest secret, but once it was out, she was sure Inuyasha would want nothing to do with her again. She was greedy, she wanted Inuyasha's love and attention, but what would happen when he figured out she had taken away something precious that he had every right to?

 

 

Suddenly Kagome was plunged into a whirlpool of negativity, guilt gnawing at her. Inuyasha seemed to recognize her distress and gripped her hand in his.

 

 

“Sorry,” Inuyasha voiced, getting her attention. “If you don't want to go, we can turn back.”

 

 

Kagome could hear the hurt drip from his every breath. She didn't want him to misunderstand. It had nothing to do with going over to his place, it was just, she was scared to fully admit that she and he had become more than just friends.

 

 

“No, we don't have to go back,” she finally said, intertwining their fingers and squeezing for reassurance. “I do want to see where you live. I'm just thinking too much.”

 

 

Inuyasha pulled her closer to him in his convertible, sneaking a quick kiss to her forehead and displaying the biggest smile in his life time.

 

“Okay, but I want to you stop thinking too much Dr. Higurashi. It's the weekend, relax a little and trust me.” Inuyasha turned to gaze at her girlish features and inwardly patted himself on the back. She was smiling.

 

 

“Besides,” Inuyasha continued with an air of arrogance, “I want to show my lover how much I've accomplished while she was away.”

 

 

His words had totally caught Kagome off guard, but she scooted as close as she could to Inuyasha and rested her head on his shoulder. Inuyasha's heart beat a million beats per second if that was even possible, but he could tell his ears were definitely on fire.

 

 

“Can I really be your lover?” Kagome turned her attention to him, throwing his words back at him. He stiffened at first, but the way she said lover, he kind of liked it… he liked it a lot.

 

 

“Depends,” he teased. “Are you willing to put up with this possessive, jealous, violent, and needy hanyou?”

 

 

Kagome laughed heartily at his choice of words. “Only if you're willing to put up with this moody, clever, sexy single mother.”

 

 

As much as Inuyasha wanted to stop the car and attack that pretty little mouth of hers, he wrapped one arm around her keeping the other on the steering wheel. He was trying to think of the pup's safety, but Kagome was throwing him off.

 

 

“I guess that means we're lovers.” Inuyasha put, giving her a dangerous wink. Kagome only giggled in response, relaxing in the strong robust arm of her hanyou. He tilted his head to rest on top of hers inhaling her fragrance.

 

 

Kagome couldn't help but steal glances at her handsome knight. She had to constantly remind herself that she wasn't dreaming and that the man that was holding her was indeed Inuyasha. Snuggling deeper into his comfortable arms, Kagome knew she could trust him with her very life. In the past, he had never ceased to amaze her with his actions and even now as she enjoyed this moment with him, she knew Inuyasha would always protect her and their son.

 

 

“I guess no picnic huh?” Inuyasha asked, driving at a considerably slow pace. He wanted to cherish this moment.

 

 

“Well, you and your brilliant mouth wanted a sleep over,” Kagome remarked, poking him in the side.

 

 

Inuyasha sneered. “Hey, it was Keishi's idea. I was only adding my opinion.” That got a pinch to his thigh this time and they both succumbed to laughter.

 

 

Trying to curb his attention on the road, Inuyasha didn't miss the way Kagome slightly yawned.

 

 

“Tired already?” Inuyasha nudged her side trying to keep her awake.

 

 

“Not really? Why?” She yawned, completely denying the sleepiness that tugged at her eyes.

 

 

“We're here. Look straight.”

 

 

Kagome turned her attention to the large metal gates that opened up. The guard at the gate greeted them kindly before shutting it after them. Kagome tried not to jump out of her seat at what she saw, but Inuyasha's mansion was beautiful.

 

 

The large mansion expanded beyond the expanse of the large yard, flower beds of red and yellow planted alongside the large home and the fact that the grass was very green. They drove around the circle drive, Inuyasha parking as Kagome quickly unbuckled herself and stepped out of the car before he could be the gentleman to open the door. Half excited as Kagome, Inuyasha stepped out of the car already spotting Myouga's entrance.

 

 

“Master Inuyasha!” The faithful flea butler called out, but stopped when he recognized who the guest was. “Ms. Kagome Higurashi!”

 

 

Kagome turned around to see the old flea demon that she remembered when Inuyasha had been living with Sesshoumaru.

 

 

“Ah! Myouga-san!” She went to greet the old demon.

 

 

Inuyasha's eyes stayed trained on the lower half of her body as she strutted away, but he looked away immediately as soon as she turned around giving him a deadly glare.

 

 

Damn flea, telling her I was staring.

 

 

Shrugging his shoulder, Inuyasha pressed the lever that allowed for him to push his seat forward in order to unbuckle the pup. He had to admit that two door convertibles were a hassle when driving with three people. He'd have to remember to drive a more accessible car when he was with them.

 

 

Grabbing the bag Kagome had packed for the night, Inuyasha had to wonder what she had stuffed in the bursting bag. It wasn't heavy for him, but he had to admit that no ordinary human being would be able to carry such a heavy thing. Slinging the absurdly heavy package over his shoulder, Inuyasha went to unbuckle the sleeping boy. He couldn't help but wipe the drool dripping from the corner of the boy's mouth with the pad of his thumb before picking the boy up. As he expected, Keishi quickly entangled his baby arms around Inuyasha's neck while taking in deep breaths and falling back into a light sleep.

 

 

Once again, that bubbly feeling Inuyasha got when he was with Keishi swelled deeply in his chest. He tenderly stroked the pup's back making his way into his home where Myouga and Kagome had wandered.

 

 

He didn't get too far when he spotted Kagome laughing openly with the old coot. Inuyasha liked that expression of hers and hoped he'd see many more of her different expressions. Now that he thought about it, Kagome's features had definitely matured into that of a woman. Although he'd been spending so much time with her he hadn't realized that she had gotten fuller in all places especially the place below her chin and above her stomach. She wasn't the little skinny girl; she was a woman and a really beautiful one at that. When she spoke, she didn't shy away like she used to. Instead she had an air of confidence that Inuyasha was becoming accustomed to.

 

 

Making his presence clear, Inuyasha stepped between the two chattering people.

 

 

“Alright, enough yapping Myouga. Please put the car outside into the garage then take the night off.” Inuyasha ordered, dropping the key into the stout man's hands.

 

 

Myouga didn't refuse Inuyasha's command as he skittered out to his master's car. As much as the flea demon wanted to stay and chat with the two of them, the old man knew Inuyasha wanted privacy.

 

 

And although it was for the briefest of moments, Myouga had caught sight of the pup resting in Inuyasha's arms. He knew who that boy was. It was Keishi Higurashi, Inuyasha's son, as Sesshoumaru once mentioned to him a while ago. Myouga would not deny the striking resemblance the pup had to Inuyasha. Keishi was the split image of a younger Inuyasha that Myouga remembered so well. It was a secret the flea demon kept from his master, but it was under Sesshoumaru's order that Myouga not say anything about it until Inuyasha was able to deal with the situation.

 

 

The faithful butler looked back at the family, a tear slipping from his eye.

 

 

“My Lord Inu Tashio and Lady Izayoi, please continue watching over Inuyasha-sama and his family.”

 

 

Getting into the silver convertible, Myouga drove off towards the gigantic garage. He reminded himself to dismiss the few maids that were left so his master could have the peace he deserved.

 

 

.

 

 

.

Inuyasha unbuttoned the top three buttons to his shirt, sliding down the wall outside his master bathroom. It had been a long day. When the pup had woken up, he had gone on a rampage and requested for a tour of the entire mansion. Of course Inuyasha was willing, but the tour had taken the entirety of their day.

 

 

He leaned his head on the wall listening to the two splashing in his bathtub. He didn't understand how Kagome was still alive and moving. She had tagged along with them on their tour, cooked dinner, cleaned, and now she was even bathing with the pup. Inuyasha seriously didn't understand women. He had to bet she was absolutely exhausted considering how much he was sweating and absolutely drained.

 

 

Massaging the back of his neck, Inuyasha was a little disappointed that he wasn't included in their bath. Instead of soaking with them, he was waiting until it was his turn. He wanted nothing more than to jump right in with them, but he supposed that would be bold on his part. Sighing in defeat, he kicked off his slippers and decided to just shower down by the guests rooms but he picked up on Keishi's shouting first.

 

 

“MAMA! Mama okay? MAMA!”

 

 

Inuyasha didn't waste a second as he leaped into the bathroom regardless of the consequences. If anything happened to Kagome or Keishi, Inuyasha would kill himself, but he'd be damned if he let it happen.

 

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha stopped half-way realizing just what was going on. When his eyes laid on the pair, he knew he had misunderstood the situation and wanted nothing more than to disappear.

 

 

“Inuyasha?” Kagome turned her head, wiping away the large glob of bubbles that had gotten in her eyes as Keishi tried to blow them away.

 

 

Inuyasha's face flushed. “Sorry… I thought that uh…” He was completely lost for words when he noticed Kagome's attire or lack thereof. “I'll leave right now.”

 

 

Quickly making his escape, Keishi's voice held his presence.

 

 

“Wait, Mr. Something. You need bath too! Come in wit us.” Keishi pleaded. “Can he mama? Hrm?” He made those pouty lips and tipped his head down trying to persuade his mama.

 

 

Inuyasha stiffened at Keishi's request. Seriously, the innocent pup didn't know what it meant when two adults shared a bath. Common sense told Inuyasha to leave the room, but he didn't have a bit of sense at all. He clearly was waiting for Kagome's answer; his back still facing the two occupying is bath.

 

 

Kagome was silent for a moment, but finally she spoke. “Okay, Keishi, but,” she spoke directly to Inuyasha, “You better wear a towel around your you know what area,” she warned in advance. “I don't want Keishi seeing a mature thingy before he has too.”

 

 

By now, Kagome's face was scarlet, but Inuyasha took her offer as he stripped completely before them.

 

 

Kagome tossed a nearby towel at him. “Inuyasha, not in front of Keishi!”

 

 

He looked to Kagome seeing how cutely her hands went to cover her son's eyes as she shut her own embarrassedly. Inuyasha took the opportunity to slip out of his boxers and wrap the small towel around his waist, kicking his clothes to the side. He didn't believe it, but the warmth of the water and their scents told him he wasn't dreaming at all.

 

 

Lowering himself in the tub, Inuyasha didn't realize how small his bath could get when three people were sitting in it. He appreciated that fact knowing well that there would be many chances for skin contact with Kagome. Keeping the sly thought to himself, Inuyasha grasped Kagome's arms to tell her it was alright for her and Keishi to open their eyes.

 

 

Both Higurashis leaned their attention to the new body that entered the water. Keishi didn't even announce his attack as he jumped into Inuyasha's chest while Kagome tugged the towel wrapped around her body a little tighter afraid it would suddenly fall.

 

 

“Wow! Mr. Something have lot mus-kuls,” the pup commented. “Feel Mr. Something tummy mama! He have lot mus-kuls!” Keishi grabbed his mama's hand, placing it directly on top of Inuyasha's firm and defined abs. She didn't need Keishi to tell her that. She knew the kind of body Inuyasha had and if things continued any longer, she was sure to faint.

 

 

Pulling her hand away from Inuyasha's body, the cunning man seized her arm and pulled her forward. Kagome fell into Inuyasha's chest, both of her hands landing directly on top of his solid pecs. She remained frozen, her focus remaining on the patch of skin between the dip of Inuyasha's neck. She gulped the large amount of spit quickly forming in her throat trying to compose herself, but Inuyasha didn't let go.

 

 

“Liked my muscles that much did you?” Inuyasha smirked, enjoying Kagome's red-hot expression. He knew he was doomed when they got out of the bath, but for the time being, he was going to enjoy himself to the fullest. It wasn't everyday he got to bath with his `lover'.

 

 

Kagome ignored him completely, sitting back in her original position. She pulled Keishi to her lap.

 

 

“No more touching Inuyasha's muscles Keishi,” Kagome cautioned as she dumped a handful of shampoo in her hand before lathering it into Keishi's short hair.

 

 

“Yes mama,” Keishi pouted, rotating his neck to see Inuyasha. “Sorry Mr. Something. Keishi no mean to touch your mus-kuls.”

 

 

“No problem pup. I'll show you my muscles when your mama's asleep.” Inuyasha winked at the boy who happily nodded as he contentedly splashed the water around him.

 

 

Watching Kagome's skilled hands maneuver on the pup's hands, Inuyasha caught how careful she was when she shampooed Keishi's hair. He'd never seen such care before, as the feeling caused him to suddenly move his own hands towards another bottle of shampoo that he assumed belonged to Kagome.

 

 

“Inuyasha what are you doing?”

 

 

The said hanyou ignored her as he squeezed a small amount of the shampoo onto his hand before his hands went to her head.

 

 

“What does it look like? I'm washing your hair for you,” he replied, massaging her scalp in the same manner she was to Keishi.

 

 

“Well, that's thoughtful of you,” she drawled, taking pleasure in the way his hands were so carefully moving. She never thought that hair washing by someone else feel so wonderful.

 

 

“Enjoying yourself?” Inuyasha wondered, gathering her soapy hair and piling it on top of her head.

 

 

“Very much,” she responded, rinsing Keishi's hair.

 

 

The naked pup stood shaking all of his wetness.

 

 

“DONE!” Keishi announced, crawling out of the tub.

 

 

“Careful! Keishi!” Kagome was already standing, soapy hair and soppy wet towel in tow.

 

 

“No mama! Soap in hair!” Keishi forced his mother back down into the tub as Inuyasha observed the funny pair. “Finish bath! Keishi go change firs!” Kissing his mother's cheek, Keishi ran through the door leaving two half-naked adults.

 

 

Kagome balanced her elbows on the edge of the tub, watching her son trail away. He was seriously growing up way too fast and he was only three. Forgetting the other body that remained utterly silent, she didn't react quick enough when a bowl full of cold water was dumped on her head, soap getting into her mouth.

 

 

“Inuyasha!” Kagome shook her hair, wiping the descending soap. She blew her bangs upward enough to see the snickering hanyou.

 

 

“You mean mean man!” she pointed, forcefully grabbing the bowl from his hands before finishing rinsing herself off as she tugged her towel higher. She wasn't going to play along with him and Inuyasha knew if he didn't do something, she was going to leave. He didn't want to waste the chance that Keishi had unexpectedly created for him.

 

 

“Sorry,” he apologized, making sure to keep her gaze, but she crossed her arms across her chest averting his eyes suddenly.

 

 

“Is that all you have to say?” Kagome didn't look at him, but she felt him move closer to her through the vibrations of the water.

 

 

“Will you wash my hair for me?”

 

 

Kagome finally turned to stare at him, her irritation dying down before she broke down into a fit of laughter. Inuyasha's abrupt request was absolutely adorable.

 

 

“This is not a laughing matter woman!” Inuyasha tried not to sulk, but Kagome wasn't taking him seriously at all. He was really sorry. He knew throwing water on her head wasn't the smartest thing to do, but she wasn't paying him any attention and it bothered him more than it should.

 

 

“Come here,” Kagome called. Inuyasha obeyed, still slightly upset, but the gentleness of her touch cleared his mind immediately.

 

 

He tried not to make a noise with the way she massaged his hair so delicately. It was a heaven that he never discovered before. She lathered his hair with the right amount of pressure that the pressure between his legs was starting to feel her caress. Even when she moved to shampoo his mane, the gentleness never once dissolved. Inuyasha was beginning to wonder if he even deserved her help with such a simple task, but the feeling of her hands was a god send.

 

 

“Flatten your ears dog-boy. It's time for rinsing.”

 

 

Inuyasha complied easily, following her soothing voice. She brushed away the sneaky amount of soap that had formed behind his ears and he nearly jumped. She continued like that with his other ear, but he had to stop her. She was close, not that he minded, but that was when Keishi had been bathing with them. Now that the pup was gone, the proximity of their bodies had become aware to Inuyasha. She leaned against him fully, her supple breasts rubbing him through her towel. A tingling feeling went straight to the organ that seemed to enlarge with each breath.

 

 

Her hands ran through the rest of his hair which he was thankful for, but her scent suddenly attacked him at full blast in all directions. He couldn't say he was suffocating because that would be a lie. He was getting fucking aroused because of the way she shampooed his hair. Taking a steady, but shaky breath, Inuyasha pivoted to search the depth of her chocolate orbs for something that would stop him, but the naïve woman only grinned. That had done it for him.

 

 

“Inuya—”

 

 

He consumed her words, sealing their lips. Inuyasha half-expected her to push him away like she always did, but she gripped him tighter snaking her arms around his neck. He pinned her against the tub viciously assaulting her moist cavern with his tongue over and over again. The sensation was overwhelming when Inuyasha's nose caught onto her excitement. He pulled away, allowing her a breath of air. She panted, maintaining eye contact with him.

 

 

The look she gave him, he knew what it was. She was more than willing to continue with what they had started, but Inuyasha didn't want it this way. He wanted her to have a romantic memory of the two of them when they decided to make love as silly as it sounded. He wanted her enough to cherish her body until the moment was right. Sure the two of them sitting almost nakedly enough was as right as a moment as it could be; but Inuyasha wanted their first time to be memorable.

 

 

Slipping his hands to her cheeks, Inuyasha lifted her face closer to him. She shut her eyes as if anticipating his caress, but he had other plans.

 

 

Lightly pressing his lips to her, Inuyasha drew away waiting for her to open her eyes. When she did, Inuyasha couldn't hide the deep chuckle that resounded from his belly.

 

 

“You jerk!” Kagome spattered water in Inuyasha's direction as he tried to defend himself from the droplets. He knew she wasn't upset at all, but he was slow to recognize the lack of sound from his bedroom. Ignoring her continuous water assaults, Inuyasha twitched his ears attentively.

 

 

“Kagome, hasn't it been too quiet?”

 

 

She stopped her chaotic splashing, taking a moment to absorb his words. Within seconds, Kagome knew exactly what Inuyasha was referring to as both adults stumbled out of the bath soaking wet. They didn't know how long they had been alone together, but Keishi hadn't made a single noise since he left.

 

 

Inuyasha was the first to make it out the door as Kagome hurried after him, but he abruptly stopped catching her around the waist.

 

 

“Shh!” Inuyasha pressed a finger to his lips. “Look over there.”

 

 

Kagome tilted her head to the side only to find her son laying dead center on Inuyasha's bed asleep and snoring softly. Keishi didn't even finish clothing himself seeming as the little boy's underwear was half on while the rest of the clothes remained untouched.

 

 

Both let out a breath of relief.

 

 

“He must have been tired,” Kagome assumed as she danced towards the untouched clothes.

 

 

Inuyasha nodded in agreement. He was about to go grab a change of clothes, but froze when the beauty before him dared to dress herself so casually in his presence. Her back was to him but his eyes followed her hands as both of her feet poked through the holes of her underwear. She pulled it up her legs, making sure to go slowly before lifting the wet towel and snapping the material to her waist. Inuyasha knew she was doing it on purpose. There was absolutely no reason for a piece of underwear to worn as slowly as she had displayed. And if it was a show she was putting on, Inuyasha would make sure to watch until the end.

 

 

As he suspected, Kagome reached for a large t-shirt she had packed in that oversized bag of hers. Much to his delight, it was his very t-shirt he had left at her home as she slipped on the material before yanking the soaked towel. When the towel hit the ground with a splat Inuyasha wanted to hit the ground as well. Before the towel left her body, she allowed him a glimpse of her clear back and he'd go to hell if he didn't admit that he did indeed see a glimpse of the bounce hidden from his eyes.

 

 

Inuyasha was sure to die from a nosebleed if Kagome continued, but she flipped her hair and turned around.

 

 

“Oh, you're still here?” she said in all innocence.

 

 

“Just leaving,” Inuyasha snorted, hating how she had the upper hand in the situation. He stalked towards his closet picking out the first thing he saw. Quickly jamming his junk into a pair of boxers that suddenly seemed too tight, Inuyasha pulled a flimsy shirt over himself before trotting over to his death.

 

 

He noticed she already had dressed the pup and laid on her side in a very very suggestive position. The fact that his t-shirt was the only thing covering her didn't help clear his mind of lewd thoughts. He also remembered that the only thing keeping his big boy from her dog-house was the very thin pair of panties she put on. He grumbled when he saw the perkiness of her nipples stick out from the shirt.

 

 

No bra either, he sighed worriedly.

 

 

Inuyasha crawled onto his bed, taking the spot on the other side of Keishi. He made sure to keep his distance, this time glaring at Kagome.

 

 

“If you don't want Keishi waking up with me riding all over his mama, I'd suggest you stop doing that.” Inuyasha saw the mischievous look she was sporting.

 

 

Kagome covered her laugh. “Is that a threat Inuyasha?” Kagome loved teasing him so much, but without warning, he pounced on her, pulling her back flat his chest. He wanted to show her that she needed to behave herself.

 

 

“It's a promise Kagome Higurashi.” Inuyasha dug his nose into the rosy smell of the hair he had washed. Scooting her closer to his body, Inuyasha's arm also tugged the pup closer to the both of them, making sure to squish Kagome in the middle. He shut his heavy lids.

 

 

“Go to sleep Kagome.”

 

 

Kagome didn't complain as the slightest of smiles graced her lips. She enclosed her arms around Keishi as Inuyasha draped a large arm across the both of them. Slanting her head behind her, she softly placed a kiss on his lips. She saw one of his eyes open as he inclined his head to give her a thorough good night kiss.

 

 

He released her as they both fell into their previous places catching their breaths. He could feel her shifting in her spot, but she stopped once she found a comfortable position and before Inuyasha knew it, she was lost to the sleeping world like her son.

 

 

Inuyasha rested his head on the palm where his elbow bent kissing the temples of baby Higurashi and mama Higurashi. Yanking the covers over the all of them, Inuyasha held them tightly, breathing in the appetizing scents that surrounded him. He tried to keep his eyes open and watch them longer, but he was failing with every minute that passed. Blinking, he burrowed into the new comfort, a final thought slipping from his mind.

 

 

Damn. I officially love sleepovers.
