InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Learning to Cope ❯ Congratulations ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The next few weeks were a mess for InuYasha and his family. Takara would wake up, Kagome would breastfeed her, InuYasha would watch Takara while Kagome slept, Kagome would watch Takara while InuYasha slept and went to work, InuYasha would get back and watch Takara, while Takara slept InuYasha and Kagome would snuggle in bed, and the process would start all over again.

InuYasha's red-rimmed eyes looked at the three week old before him. Kagome started to take sign language lessons and on the weekends InuYasha would, but it still didn't help. Kagome could only fingerspell, and InuYasha learned only finger spelling and a few basic signs.

Takara slept peacefully in her crib. InuYasha went to the kitchen, pored himself a second cup of coffee, and went back into Takara's room to sit back down on the recliner.

InuYasha glanced at the clock, 12:15, only a few minutes until he could sleep. Takara's eyes fluttered open as the telephone rang, but her eyes quickly closed shut as InuYasha picked her up and answered the phone.

“Is this the Kobayashi residence?”

“Yeah, what of it!” InuYasha snapped quietly into the phone, the lack of sleep was getting to him.

“Sorry to disturb you, but Tanaka's results came back, we'll need to test her when she's older to make sure, and I'm afraid to say she has profound sensorineural deafness.”

“That means…”

“That means, sir, that Tanaka cannot hear anything. We though are still unsure and since she's still young we might have misinterpreted something.”

“Thanks for your `medical expertise' lady, but I got stuff to do so fuck off!”

InuYasha slammed the telephone down and suddenly noticed a perky Kagome gently take Tanaka out of his arms.

“Who was that Yasha?” Kagome asked as she tickled Tanaka under her chin.

“The fuckin' hospital. Some bitch said Tanaka can't hear nothin.” InuYasha went strait to the master bedroom and fell asleep. He had to be at work at 3:15.

At 10:30 Kagome brought Tanaka to Rin's house while Kagome went to her Sign Language class. Kagome's fingers were beginning to move through the letters like a choreographed dance and by the end of the class Kagome mastered finger spelling, although, she couldn't spell for her life.

After class, Kagome picked up Takara and Rin and they all hung out at the mall.

“Hey Kags, I have news for you.”

Kagome put Takara into her baby carrier and placed the carrier on the table they were sitting at with their food.

“What?”

“Well, you know that Souta and I were dating right?”

“Yeya, the phone was always busy!”

“Well, we're kinda sorta...”

“Rin!”

“engaged.”

Kagome squealed gave Rin a huge hug.

“When's the wedding?”

“Well, your mom went crazy and whenever she can book some weird place called `The Fountain of Youth.'”

“That's where Inu and I were suppose to get married.”

“Before you eloped?”

“Yeah.”

Takara started crying so Kagome and Rin went to their houses and Kagome fed and changed Takara and began to rock her to sleep. She began to silently sing `Why we Sing'; Takara snuggled closer to Kagome's chest to feel the vibration better.

A/N- Well it isn't 5 pages exactly, but my friend asked for a Rin-Souta pairing (Inside Joke) and for once I cringed at the thought and wrote… she bribed me with cookies.

I had my chorus concert today and I brought my F in Math to a D! Hokey Pokey Okey Dokey!

Disclaimer- As we all know, I do not own InuYasha or I would still be working on the first drawing (I'm a procrastinator on everything but my fanfics and I suck at art… just ask my art teacher!)
