InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Adventures in Babysitting ( Chapter 28 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

So I decided to take a stab at a drabble series. I have been largely inspired by my favorite authoress, Forthright. I highly suggest you check out her stuff. Its amazing! This particular idea was given to me as I listened to "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley.
Explanation: This series will follow the first year of the newly mated couple of Kagome and Inuyasha. It will be small highlights throughout their relationship, moments when they remind each other why they love one another.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over these characters. They belong to the lovely Rumiko Takahashi! I just like to borrow them from time to time.
Updates will be short! You can expect to see a few updates a week unless otherwise noted. Now on with the show!

Little Moments – Adventures in Babysitting

Inuyasha was barely in the front door when he heard a thundering of little footsteps barreling down the hall. Before he knew what was happening, he had two small children attached to both of his legs. He blinked down at them as they spoke a mile a minute. All he managed to make out were a few Inuyasha's, Uncle Inu's and Guess Whats?

He sent a helpless look to Kagome, who had just entered. She was leaning on the door frame, shaking her head and trying to conceal a laugh. He was on his own. With a grumble, he grabbed both runts by the collar and peeled them off his limbs. Plopping them down in front of him, he silenced them with a firm "Whoa, whoa! Slow down!"

Rin and Shippo closed their mouths with an audible click. He eyed the two with suspicion before continuing. "Now, what happened?"

Both children burst into speech, talking over each other with rapid words. Inuyasha slapped a hand over his mouth, covering the wry smile that was sneaking onto his face. Wouldn't do to ruin his image.

"Wait a minute, shut your yaps you two! One at a time, sheesh." He pointed to the fox kit, gruffly grunting, "You first."

Shippo glanced down at his feet before taking a deep breath. "Well, you see, me and Rin were out playing in the yard when we heard Kagome scream! It scared both of us so we ran inside to see what happened. We found her in the kitchen standing on a chair. She was cornered by this huuuuuuuuge spider! And we all know how much Kagome hates spiders."

He looked over to Rin who nodded dutifully with a solemn expression. "Rin got scared and jumped on a chair too! I knew I was the man of the house while you were gone, so I had to do something. Even though it was so big, I got it with a bit of kitsune-bi!"

Rin bounced excitedly. "Shippo was very brave! Rin had never seen a spider so big!"

Inuyasha allowed a small grin on his face as he knelt down. He ruffled the kit's hair. "Ya did good squirt. It was your place to protect the women while the alpha was away."

Shippo beamed up at him before covering it up with a cough. He puffed up his chest, attempting to act mature. "Thank you sir. I was only doing my duty."

Inuyasha chuckled. "You two go and get your stuff together. Sesshoumaru should be here soon to get Rin and then I'll walk you home Shippo."

The kids didn't need to be told twice and took off. Inuyasha got up and headed over to his smiling mate. He pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "Exciting day huh?"

Kagome giggled. "Oh the usual. Near death experiences in the kitchen and heroic rescues. Nothing special."

"Keh. You were just lucky someone was here to save you from that spider. You might have been stuck on that chair all day."

Kagome batted his arm playfully. "Oh stop. You know I hate those things."

He smirked at her as there was a knock on the door. He let her go to answer it while he went into the bedroom to change. He snickered as he heard the story retold, this time from Rin. Seemed like Shippo lost his gusto when faced with the taiyoukai. Briefly he imagined what Sesshoumaru's expression would be like if the two had jumped on him like they did with himself before howling with laughter.

Meanwhile in the other room, the taiyoukai debated whether or not it would upset Rin if he disemboweled her uncle, for surely that laugh was directed at him.

A/N: Hello everyone! I don't know about any of you, but I hate bugs! I can't even squish them when they are too big. I can handle flies, but that's about it. I always have to call my hubby into the room, and he never ceases to find it amusing. Special thanks to my favorite reviewer SplendentGoddess! Haha, no I did not cheer at the screen, but I did do a little happy dance inside. Hope you enjoy this one ^_^
