"EEE! AKITA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kagome shrieked.

The frazzled mother had come across a rather.. Disturbing scene involving her two youngest hanyou. Shiba's feet were sticking out of a hole in the ground, kicking madly. And obviously the child was shouting because muffled oaths (some of which Kagome made mental notes to confront Inuyasha about later) while Akita pulled frantically on the feet with a look of fear.

"UM! OKAA-SAN! Brother and I are just.. Playing?" the child said with an innocent expression and a smile. Akita's ears twitched, something that always happened when he was A. Nervous. Or B. Lying. And sometimes both.

"Kami help me." Kagome muttered beneath her breath. "INUYASHA!" she hollered.

Akita gulped.

"OKAA! OKAA! OTOU!" Shiba screamed from below ground, his feet pounding harder and faster.

'SHUT UP!' Akita yipped in inu-youkai, a language his mother was less likely to understand.

"Why do you want him to shut up, Akita?" a deadly quiet voice came from behind. Inuyasha stepped out of the trees, his scarlet clad arms crossed and his amber eyes narrowed in a hard stare, directed towards his son.

"Um.. No reason, Otou?"

"Why is Shiba underground?"

"He.. Um.. Got stuck?"

"How?"

"Because.."

"Why?"

"Um.. We were chasing.. Bunnies! Yeah. Bunnies."

Inuyasha sniffed. "I smell no bunnies." he said with eerie calm.

'Right about now was where I come in.' Kagome thought exasperatedly, stepping forward and laying a hand on her mate's shoulder. "Inuyasha.. Drop the Sesshoumaru act, I get enough of that from Koga and Kikyou." she said sternly. Her mate's eyes blazed with fury. "HEY! I am nothing like that arrogant," "SIT." Kagome snarled.

Then, standing over her husband's crumpled form Kagome turned blazing eyes on her pup. "Akita, you have three seconds to explain what happened. Starting NOW."

Akita withered. None survived their mother's piercing stare. Not even Koga. "OKAY! I tripped him and pushed him down the hole to look for monsters." the pup admitted, speaking quickly and mostly to the dirt.

"Thank you, and you're grounded." Kagome said matter of factly, yanking her other pup out of the ground and letting her husband up. "Here," she said, shoving Akita towards his father. "Take this pup home and seal him in the hut, he's grounded."

Shiba snickered. Inuyasha's eyes flashed. "Watch it pup, or you're next."

Shiba gulped.


But by next morning the twins were at it again. Shiba had liberated Akita from the hut and both were causing havoc by the crack of dawn. First it was a raucous game of tag across all the roofs in the village. Then, after everyone had been woken up atleast three hours too early the boys rushed into the woods eating (and consequently puking), tearing, and savaging everything that could be in their path. Then finally they turned to eachother. Todays bright idea came from Shiba. "Here, give me your feet.." the pup said innocently. Akita innocently complied and soon found himself hanging upside from a tree, being swung too and fro by a gleefully Shiba. "Your face changes colors!" Shiba exclaimed gleefully, right before Akita upchucked all over him. This of course lead to an expedition to the river to bathe. For Shiba anyway. He left Akita hanging, literally.

This expedition cost them both a week in the hut. But the youths never learned. And thus Kagome's and Inuyasha's life was never peaceful.

But privately, Kagome couldn't help but adore, and love the twins just a smidge more than her older children. While all four were dear and she loved them equally there was just a bond with the twins that was so much more open and warm with the twins. She had finally gotten her dream children. The lovey ones. They clambered all over her with angelic faces, hugged constantly, and were always begging for sweets (and their grandmother, as grateful as Kagome for 'normal' grandchildren at last was all too happy to indulge them).
