Chapter 6 - DADDY?!?!

 

Previously in the last chapter

 

He was startled by her question but he opened his arms slightly to tell her to lie down in his lap. Her smile looked as if it would be permanently plastered onto her face as she sat down on his lap and lay against his chest, sighing in content. He wrapped his arms around her waist holding her there so she wouldn't fall off or disappear without him noticing, but it also looked as if it comforted her. He smiled as she snuggled closer into his chest and slowly fell asleep against his warmth. As soon as her breath evened out and her heartbeat slowed he sighed. `Maybe I will be good at this father stuff…' this was his last thought before he too fell asleep holding his offspring close and happily….

 

 

It had been a week since Kagome woke up to find her daughter held quietly in the arms of her mate; she felt so adorned by the sight of Kinkijo snuggling up against his chest and his arms held contently around her. Over this entire time they got as close as any father and daughter could have; she spent time with her mother too but her father seemed to be her favorite. This didn't bother Kagome too much after all she hadn't had a father figure her whole life, just her guardian spirit; besides she found it comforting and adorable the way Inuyasha spent time with their pup

 

Through the weeks travels they collected 4 jewel shards, and every time Inuyasha wouldn't let Kinkijo or Kagome out of his sight. If a demon got even too close for his comfort he attacked it full force killing it instantly almost every time; one time the demon got close enough to hurt her and he went ballistic and shred the demon to pieces in a matter of seconds. Afterwards he would always check to see if they were all right; especially after the first demon got to close. This just made Kagome roll her eyes and sigh; whether he knew it or not he was being the perfect father.

 

Kinkijo and Shippou became inseparable; they both played together endlessly, sometimes with Tala, but she sometimes wanted to just snooze away the day. Kinkijo however had a few hidden talents that surprised them to their fullest extent, but somehow they felt that they shouldn't have been as surprised as they were. Kinkijo seemed to inherit her mother's ability to detect sacred jewel shards, and even had her own demonic attacks that she was forced to demonstrate when she defended her brother during a fight. She also seemed to pick up her mothers knack for rosary's; she had placed one on Miroku when he touched her mother, although she had fun for a day throwing him to the ground the rosary fell off. It appeared that she wasn't trained enough for the rosary to stay on as long as she wanted it too; Inuyasha found this hilarious because now Miroku knew exactly what he went through when he made Kagome mad and now he watched his hands when he was around his Kagome.

 

The last two of the group were Sango and Miroku who went along as usual with the daily groping's and smacks; they also stood silently by watching Inuyasha and Kagome be the picture perfect parents to their newly found daughter.

Cold air surrounded the castle; there was no warmth anywhere in the region. Naraku's castle never did have the best aura in the world, it was always dark, damp and full of evil; just the way he liked it. He wandered the halls of his dungeon and listened to the moans, breaths, and weakened heartbeats of his prisoners, but not for too long; he was waiting for his insects to come back from scouting the lands for Inuyasha and his pitiful friends. His tactic was to spring on them and take advantage of his greatest weakness; he was told that the miko wench was supposedly the hanyou's weakest point but lately there has been rumors concerning the Zasshu and he wanted them confirmed. The soft buzzing of his poisonous insects started to fill his ears and he walked towards the closest window as his scouts reached him. They buzzed and hummed their report which Naraku of course understood and nodded, dismissing them as he smiled in triumph.

 

“Inuyasha you fool, your indiscretion with the miko will cause you more pain than you realize….”

 

With that he laughed at his plans on how to hurt the hanyou in the worst possible way…kill his offspring…

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Today had been an eventful day; they had collected a jewel shard from a bear youkai that attacked their camp in the early morning and almost everyone was exhausted. Shippou was asleep in the arms of Sango who also fell asleep against Miroku's chest. He held her contently minding his hand's whereabouts, not wishing to spoil the moment as they rode smoothly on Kirara's back. Kagome also had fallen asleep against Inuyasha's back, hugging him closely as he held her to his back. Kinkijo had fallen asleep against Tala's back and held onto her by her neck as she ran with the others.

 

All morning they traveled like this until they decided to stop for lunch. The children got up almost immediately and started to run off to play a game of hide-and-seek. AS they ran to the brush, Kagome yelled after them, “Don't go off too far from the clearing!”

 

“Ok mama!!” yelling back in almost unison as they disappeared in the brush with Tala and Kirara. She sighed; those two were always filled with energy after a nap, she could hardly catch up with them. She decided to let them blow off some of their hyperactivity before they headed off in search for more jewel shards. Immediately heading for her bag she started looking for food to serve for lunch as a pair of masculine arms wrapped themselves around her waist, startling her at first until she felt familiar soft and tender kisses caress her neck.

 

“Hey there…” she gave a small giggle and even without looking she could sense is cockiness and his infamous smirk as he showered her with more kisses.

 

He lifted his head and placed it so that their cheeks were side by side, “Miroku and I are going to scan the area for undetectable demons…we'll be back soon…” he took a pause before continuing his next statement, “maybe we can pick up where we left of ne?”

 

Kagome couldn't stifle her egar giggle, “Maybe….but what about Shippou and Kinkijo?”

 

“Miroku and Sango will watch them; then we can go and have some fun…” he said coolly with his smirk.

 

He kissed her mark and she let a small moan of pleasure escape her lips. She would have normally refused to such a tempting offer but she had complied with her mother's wishes earlier in the year to take protection with her to the feudal era after she told her mother about her and Inuyasha being mates. Now that she thought about it; it was probably the best choice she ever made, now that he was talking about some more intimate moments for tonight

 

He let up on his grip as he gave her a kiss goodbye, “I'll be back soon, watch Kinkijo and the brat until I get back ok?”

 

Kagome smiled, “Of course…go ahead and do what you need to…and don't call Shippou a brat…he's yours too”

 

His let out his usual, “Feh” and let off a proud smile as he took off with Miroku right behind him; she sighed. She felt as if there couldn't be a more perfect mate for her; she couldn't be happier.

 

Sango came over and helped her with lunch as everyone else was gone; they both could hear the children laughing in the background amongst the forest. She saw the happy look on Kagome's face and couldn't help but smile herself, “you seem really happy Kagome-chan”

 

Her surrogate sister looked over and gave the biggest smile she had ever seen, “I am…I don't' think I could be any happier…” This cause her to match her sisters great smile as she continued, “I have to admit I was pretty upset at first; I mean from my time having a `mate' and a child at 17 isn't exactly acceptable. I was pretty worried, but now that I see her happiness it's like it all doesn't matter, and Inuyasha's already bonded with her closer than I ever thought he could….”

 

Sango smiled, “He really is a good father….whether he thinks he is or not….and you're a perfect mother...”

 

Kagome gave a small blush as she fiddled with the ramen that was almost finished, “Arigatou Sango-chan”

 

Sango gave her a side hug, “It's no problem Kagome…it's all true…”

 

Kagome opened her mouth to say something else when she detected two jewel shards coming straight towards them. She turned to look into the brush.

 

Sango instinctively reached for her Hiraikotsu, “What is it Kagome?”

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Inuyasha sniffed around for the possible demons that were roaming the forest when he caught the scent of something he disliked even more. He growled out loud as he stopped in his tracks.

 

“What is it Inuyasha?” Miroku asked as he raised his staff ready for battle

 

He continued to growl as he muttered, “I smell wolves…” That was all he needed to say for him and Miroku to start heading straight back to the camp

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Kagome sighed and slumped her shoulders; she knew exactly who it was, “you won't need that Sango…it's just…”

 

“Oi! Kagome!” a voice called out. Sango immediately recognized the voice as belonging to the wolf prince Kouga. She let up on her weapon and also slumped her shoulders, but raised them again at her next thought as the two girls exchanged glances. Kouga didn't know that she was mated to Inuyasha; the last time they saw each other was before she was marked. Whirlwinds stopped right in front of her and a person grabbed her hands in a romantic gesture, “Kagome, my beautiful mate…have you missed me?”

 

A small tint of pink could be seen on her face as she tried to sound enthusiastic and pull away, “Kouga….hi…uh… yeah sure I did…of course” she said shaking nervously at what Kouga's reaction would be to the news.

 

“Kagome you're shaking and you smell different. Are you sick?” he paused before continuing, “I knew mutt-face couldn't keep you safe or healthy. Let's go back to my den…I'll make sure that you never get sick again…” he said with audacity in his voice

 

Kagome immediately stopped herself from shaking and tried to step away but he wouldn't relinquish his hold on her. “Listen Kouga…there's something that…I…I need to tell you…”

 

He immediately looked excited, “You've finally decided to mate with me! Oh Kagome I knew you'd come to your senses!”

 

Kagome gasped, “What! No! I…”

 

He wasn't paying even the least bit of attention to her as he reached to pull her into his so called `safe' embrace; she tried to protest but his strength was too much.

 

He leaned down to kiss her `Oh god, Inuyasha's not only going to kill Kouga he's gonna kill me! How can I…' Her thoughts came to a halt as he jumped 5 feet off the ground howling in pain, “YOWCH!!!” Kagome fell back a few feet watching as she saw Tala growling and Kouga holding his backside where his tail was attached to his body, and he was rubbing it as he turned around growling at the white wolf. “What the hell was that for!!!?” Then he stared growling and yipping, obviously talking in wolf, but he stopped when he heard laughter from the bushes. He turned and growled at the bush, “Come on out! Before I shred you to pieces!!!” Kagome gave a gasp at his threat; she knew who was in the bushes.

 

“Kouga no!” She screamed at him quickly getting in front of him and blocking his path.

 

Kouga was still looking straight at the bushes, “What!? You're going to protect something that attacked your future mate!” he yelled bewildered by her reaction.

 

“Take a chill pill Kouga! AND I'm NOT going to be your mate!” she glared at him before turning around, “alright you two…come on out…now” Her stern tone was enough to make even Kouga's fur stand on end. Shippou and Kinkijo stepped out of the bush putting on their innocent faces talking in unison, “Yes okaa-san?”

 

Kouga sighed; he couldn't attack pups, it was against demon law. His gaze returned to Kagome and she was giving a brief stern look at the brats. Wait, brats? He knew that Kagome had taken in that kitsune before but the other one was new to him, “Oi! Who's the other brat? You taking in more strays my mate? How will we ever have time for our own?” he snaked an arm around her waist before she struggled away and looked at him

 

“I'm not your mate Kouga! Nor will I ever be!” she yelled. Kinkijo and Shippou ran up to her; he jumped into her arms while she hid behind his legs looking around them to sneak a peek at Kouga.

 

He was shocked by her words but took it lightly as he smirked `That's my woman always playing hard to get….but what is that scent on her…it's so familiar' Kagome then turned and kneeled down to the girl. He took in a faint scent that smelled of dogs off of the small girl. He figured that she must be an Inu-hanyou but where would she find such an orphan. He only knew of two dog demons in the entire area and that was Sesshoumaru and the half-breed. `Maybe Sesshoumaru finally made a little accident with one of his whores…' he smirked at the thought of the almighty demon lord having a hanyou offspring.

 

“Kinkijo…why did you order Tala to bite Kouga?” Her tone was motherly and caring.

 

“Ano….I sensed jewel shards coming towards camp, and you told me that once I sensed some to come straight back and when I did I saw the man and the feeling was coming from him, so I asked Shippou who he was…..” she took a breath starting to sound whiney yet unhappy, “and he said that Kouga was a wolf prince and he always came to take you as his mate….and I knew that you didn't like it when he touched you, I could tell, so I told Tala to bite him on the butt…” she giggled at her antics and Shippou tried to stifle he laugh but he was unsuccessful.

 

The young mother sighed, “I appreciate your concern Kinkijo but you didn't have to do that…”

 

“Yes, mama….” She said sadly hugging her for forgiveness

 

Kouga's confusion was rising, “Who is that Kagome? She reeks of dog!”

 

Kagome immediately looked nervous as she turned to face Kouga, “Uh…yeah about that….listen Kouga…Kinkijo is…”

 

“OTOU-SAN!!!” the small girl exclaimed

 

Kagome turned just in time to see Kinkijo tackle Inuyasha to the ground as he stepped back in the clearing. He let out an `oomph' before he hit the ground; she captured him in a death grip as she hugged him. She smiled as he let out a chuckle and hugged her back and sat up.

 

“Geese I was only gone for 5 minutes….” He said with a smirk

 

Kinkijo let up on her death grip, “I know but I missed you daddy!” she was smiling and sat down on his lap.

 

“DADDY?!?!!” Kouga screamed; he had been stunned when the young pup called him otou-san but thought maybe that it was his imagination but the second time was `daddy'. But instead of going into an enraged state he snapped into fits of laughter, “Daddy!!” He was cracking up between each word, “Oh man!! Dog-turd finally found a mate!! A…and had a filthy quarter-breed pup!! Oh geese…so who's the unlucky pitiful whore you chose?! Huh?!?” he continued to crack up as he had visions of the half-breed trying to be a father.

 

Kagome became enraged, but not at Kouga calling her unlucky and pitiful but at him calling her daughter a filthy quarter-breed. She looked over to Inuyasha who was just as red in anger, but what caught her attention to most was her daughter. She hugged her father's leg and it looked as if she was crying. Before she knew what she was doing, she rushed up and punched him across the face, “How dare you! You would dare call my daughter such names!” she looked at his confused face. She figured that he hadn't put two and two together to come up with the conclusion that she was the girl's biological mother. “Take it back! Take it back NOW! I will not let you insult my daughter!”

 

Kouga didn't move; he froze as his eyes widened and he muttered, “daughter??..”

 

Inuyasha watched the whole scene fighting back visions of red as his demon side tried to take over and kill Kouga for insulting his family. He could smell his pup's tears and her grip on his leg. He reached for the Tetsusaiga's hilt and prepared to attack when his daughters grip left him. Huh? He looked down to see her gone, “Kinkijo?” He looked up and turned around to see her foot dissapear into the forest as she ran away still crying, “Kinkijo wait!”

 

Kagome heard Inuyasha call out to their pup and turned to see Kinkijo gone and her mate running into the forest. She turned to follow when someone grabbed her wrist; she turned to see Kouga holding her wrist looking quite angry, “Daughter?! DAUGHTER?!?! What did you do Kagome?!” He pulled her forward and tore back the collor of her school shirt.

 

There he saw it. A mating mark. Inuyasha's mating mark.

 

He growled, “He touched you?!?! You let him touch you!! Kagome! You were supposed to be my mate! Not his!! How could you do this???!!!”

 

As he held her arm tightly so she couldn't get away, she could feel his grip causing bruises on her skin. She looked up to see his once sparkling blue eyes turn crimson red.

 

“Let me go!” she screamed prying at his fingers to let her go.

 

“No! Not until you tell my why!! You had no right to…UMP” Kouga let go and staggared back a few feet before passing out.

 

Kagome turned to see Sango with her Hiraikotsu raised and Miroku holding his staff; they had both his him simultaneously in the head.

 

“Are you alright Lady Kagome?” Miroku asked leaning over Kouga's unconscious form

 

“Yeah, I'm fine…wait….where's Inuyasha in Kinkijo!?”
