InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Perfect Day Senior Year ❯ Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, but if I did oh the things I would have that sexy boy do.






After dinner the children went upstairs to take baths and prepare for bed with Shippo and Mikadzuki's help, as Inuyasha, Kagome, Rin, Sesshomaru, Hojo, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka move it the living room to talk things through.

"Wow Kagome, Rin, dinner was awesome" Hojo says
"Yeah and you were right, they sure can eat" Eri says
"Ok thanks you guys" Kagome says
"We're glad you enjoyed it" Rin says blushing
"Enough chit chat, we need to talk" Inuyasha says
"About what?" Yuka asks
"About the four of you keeping this a secret" Sesshomaru says tonelessly
"Oh that" Ayumi says
"It's very important for you not to say anything. I can explain having a 5 year old, somewhat, while I'm barely 18. But I cannot explain the other 4" Kagome says
"Well we only have a month till winter break, then graduation would be a couple of months away" Hojo say
"The question is: Can you keep a secret for a year?" Inuyasha asks
"I'm sure we can" Eri says "No, I know we can"
"I just wish we knew sooner, we could have helped cover for you" Ayumi says
"I know I just didn't know how you'd take it" Kagome says
"But it's not too late for you to help now" Sesshomaru says
"Yeah, if someone gets suspicious, you can stop them in their tracts" Rin says
"True, Kagome, I know I could have never won your heart, but I'll do this to win your friendship" Hojo says with an unfamiliar gleam in his eyes as the other sweat drop
“Calm down boy, you don't have to win her friendship, you already have it" Inuyasha says
"If you weren't my friend I would have never told you" Kagome says smiling
"Oh, I guess you're right" Hojo says a little embarrassed
"Oh wow, it's getting late" Yuka says
"Yeah you guys better head home I don't want you to get in trouble with your parents" Kagome says "Wow, I sound like I'm old. I'll see you tomorrow"

They all rise to leave giving Kagome a hug, all except Hojo who got a funny look from Inuyasha, so he offered to shake her hand instead.

The following month was great, the pups stayed out of trouble, no one was suspicious, Kagome’s grades were top of the class and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru’s business was more successful in Japan then it ever was in America. Who knew that everything they collected over 500 years of travel would help start a very popular antiquities store. They didn’t sell everything; everything they sold was bought over the years to sell. Some items were bought a dozen at a time and stored. Moving everything was a pain but it wasn’t hard for them. When the collection got too large, they would build a house to use as storage, and go back for it a little at a time. They still have stashes world wide. But here, now they have become very wealthy. They all had law and business degrees amongst many others that were important or needed at the time. Christmas was already here and dinner would be at Rin and Sesshomaru’s. The women, Mrs. Higarashi included, cooked, while the pups’ young and old played games and the men along with grandpa watched from the sidelines.

“Well Rin, looks like a meal for 40 again” Kagome says
“The way the pups are playing I don’t even think we’ll have leftovers this time” Rin sighs
“But Kagome, honey there’s only 12 of us. My grandchildren do not eat that much” Mrs. Higarashi says
“No mom, they don’t eat that much at your house” Kagome says
“I’ve never seen them eat that much” Mrs. Higarashi replies
“I believe our pups are just being kind to your pocketbook, Mrs. Higarashi.” Rin says smiling
“Maybe so Rin, but I told you to call me mom” Mrs. Higarashi states
“Sorry mom” Rin says
“Mom, haven’t you noticed how much food we have in our refrigerators? They eat so much we have to grow our own gardens, hello we start dinner at 10 am.” Kagome says
“While we were traveling, Kagome even had to learned to perfect Ramen from scratch for Inuyasha” Rin says
“Then unfortunately, Sessy started eating it too, Mr. ‘I don’t eat human food’ loves it. Now they only eat it if we make it from scratch” Kagome says dropping her head
“How often do you make it” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“Every Friday” Kagome says
“It’s a lot of work too; it takes a couple of hours. I make the noodles while Kagome is at school and when she gets home, she finishes” Rin explains
“Unfortunately the pups like it too, can imagine making ramen from scratch, enough for 25? Kagome asks
“Oh Kagome is it that bad?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“No, it’s not bad, it’s hard work. I’ve gotten used to it over the past 500 years. I’ve even taught Inu and Sessy to cook for themselves on a stove, not just a bon fire. I only really make ramen, Inu starts everything else when I’m at school with Rin’s supervision” Kagome says
“Look girls, the kids are playing tag and Shippo’s it” Mrs. Higarashi says
“Yep, he’ll be it for a while, they cheat” Kagome says
“How?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“They hide their scents or jump high in the trees” Rin says
“Or the put up barriers” Kagome adds
“You allow them to cheat like that?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“It helps them hone their powers, he finds them eventually” Rin says
“Besides Shippo is used to this game, him and Zuki played the same way and he cheated without having holy powers” Kagome laughs
“Oh” Mrs. Higarashi says watching the children play
“See, he caught Chi and Sota” Rin says
“Well Sota’s human and new to this version of the game, but Chi is almost a pro” Kagome says looking down to cut vegetables
“My, my, he’s caught Zuki” Mrs. Higarashi say. With this declaration the girl’s heads snap up “WHAT!!!!”
“But Zuki is a pro” Rin says
“I’m impressed, Shippo’s getting good” Kagome says
“Yeah and it only took 500 years” Rin says laughing
“You know girls this will be the first American style Christmas I’ve ever celebrated” Mrs. Higarashi says
“I know, it’s what the children wanted, they got used to it” Kagome says
“I understand but 2 turkeys, 2 hams, a roast, and 15 different side dishes both American and Japanese?” Mrs. Higarashi questions
“I know, I know wait till you see them eat” Kagome says while Rin laughs
“Mommy?” Suta says running into the house
“What is it pup?” Kagome asks
“I’m hungry is lunch ready yet?” Suta asks
“Yeah it is, go tell the rest of the pups” Rin says
“And tell them to wash up, thoroughly” Kagome adds
“Ok” Suta says running out the door

Next thing they knew, there was a stampede up to the bathrooms then back down to the kitchen table for lunch.

“Kags, what’s all that noise for?” Inuyasha asks
“Smells like lunch time” Sesshomaru says with his nose in the air
“Lunch, yum” grandpa adds
“Yes lunch, now go wash up” Mrs. Higarashi says.

The three males grumble under their breath.

“I don’t care who you are, how old you are, who you’re mated to, set a good example and go WASH UP!” Mrs. Higarashi yells

They jump up and run to the bathroom with youkai speed, leaving poor grandpa behind. When they got back, they sat down and smiled innocently. Kagome, Rin and Mrs. Higarashi served lunch and then sat to eat.

“Shippo, I was meaning to ask you, how did you catch Chi and Sota first?” Rin asks
“Well Chi was trying to hide himself and uncle, so they just stuck out. Shippo says smiling
“It’s not my fault; I can’t but up a barrier that strong yet” Mochidzuki pouts
“It’s ok, you’ll get stronger” Kagome says encouragingly
“Mmm, Kagome this sandwich is delicious, is it tuna salad?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“Actually it’s salmon” Kagome replies with a smile
“Salmon salad? That’s different” Mrs. Higarashi says
“Yeah Kaede taught me to make it. I really miss her sometimes” Kagome says with tears in her eyes
“When did she die?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“She died about 25 years after I was born” Mikadzuki says
“She was really nice and a powerful miko” Inuyasha says
“But not as powerful as mama” Shippo adds
“I learned a lot from her. She was like a mother when I couldn’t come home. You would have liked her mom” Kagome says
“I probably would have dear” Mrs. Higarashi
“Great lunch mom” Suta says
“Thanks baby, you ready to go play again?” Kagome asks
“Yes mama” Suta replies
“Ok then, pup outside, men TV, women kitchen” Sesshomaru says with a smile

They all separate to their designated areas leaving the women to clean up and finish dinner.

“Kagome is cooking always this much work for you and Rin?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“Yeah it is, it takes a lot to feed a pack of Inu-youkai” Kagome smiles
“Can you believe that Christmas is tomorrow?” Rin asks
“I know, it’s been a fast month” Mrs. Higarashi says
“Do you think the pups will be up at dawn again this year?” Kagome asks
“Zuki and Shippo are trying their best to wear them out so who knows” Rin replies
“They’re up at dawn every year?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“Yep” the girls say in unison
“That’s why we do dinner on Christmas Eve. Load them with food after running them down, they’re up at dawn. Play all day; barely eat dinner and usually fall asleep in their plates” Rin laughs
“Zuki wasn’t even this energetic when he was their age. Maybe we’re just getting old Rin.” Kagome says
“Kags, you don’t look a day over 150” Rin replies

The ladies start to laugh uncontrollably as they prepare the turkeys for roasting.

“It’s a good thing you have 3 ovens and 2 stove tops in here Rin” Mrs. Higarashi says
“I know what you mean, dinner would take so much longer to prepare if I didn’t” Rin says
“How did you get the contractors to put all of this in here?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“We told them that we were running a catering business out of our homes. They agreed after that” Kagome says

Three hours later, dinner was ready and Mrs. Higarashi was fast asleep, in a chair, using her elbow for support.

“Poor mama, she’s so tired” Kagome says
“I think all this cooking did her in” Rin says with a smile
“Probably, I’ll let her rest in one of the guest rooms till dinner is served” Kagome says walking toward her mom.

Kagome then transformed to her youkai form and gently picked Mrs. Higarashi up to carry her to bed. She moved so gracefully down the hall that it looked like she was floating on air. She laid her down, covered her with a blanket and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Mean while in the dinning room, Rin made the guys set 13 place setting on the table. When they started to complain, she glared and made them start over; setting everything that would be found on a table at fancy restaurant. Figuring Rin could do worst to them, they stopped complaining. Rin and Kagome sat the food out on the table. Only thing left to do was round the pups, wake mom, and have everybody wash up. Sitting down to dinner, they laughed and talked. Kagome was moved to tears when she realized that once again she had her entire pack with her all at once, sharing a meal. Picking up the scent of tears, Inuyasha looks over at Kagome.

“What’s wrong koi?” Inuyasha asks
“It’s just with all of us sitting here, I really miss Sango and Miroku” Kagome says as tears fall from her eyes
“Kags, it’s been over 400 years, why are you sad now? Sesshomaru asks
“Up until now, it’s been youkai only in our pack, now that there are humans again, I began to miss them” Kagome smiles
“Oh, Kagome” Rin says thoughtfully placing her hand on Kagome’s
“I’m fine, really, time for dessert” Kagome says getting up

After dessert, the children were sent to prepare for bed leaving the adults to talk and clear the table.

“You guys sure it’s ok for all of us to stay here tonight?” Inuyasha asks
“It’s fine little brother” Sesshomaru says
“But we would be adding 10 to the house” Kagome says
“Yes and we have 10 bedrooms” Rin adds
“That’s right” Kagome smiles “Shippo, Zuki come here!”

They run down the stairs.

“Yes mom” Shippo asks
“Ok, you’ll have a room to yourself, put the twins together, and put the girls together. Grandpa, Sota will be with you, is that ok?” Kagome asks
“Yes, that’s fine” Grandpa says
“Good since that’s settled, Shippo help Suta and Zuki get the rooms together” Rin says
“Ok” they say together as they head upstairs

Once baths were taken, teeth were brushed, and kitchen cleaned; they retires to the living room to watch a movie, The Little Mermaid, Suta’s favorite. The others decided to let her watch it since it was Christmas and it made her happy even though she’s seen it a hundred times. Times like these make everything feel perfect, like time freezes. Suta was the first to fall asleep, quickly followed by Mayonaka. Kagome and Inuyasha took them to bed. When they returned the twins and Sota were nodding off and about 15 minutes later they too, were getting carried to bed. It was about midnight when the movie went off; both Mrs. Higarashi and Grandpa were fast asleep. Mikadzuki and Shippo carried them to bed while the others headed off to their rooms. Once Sesshomaru and Rin got to their rooms, he promptly locked the door.

“Mate, why did you lock the door?” Rin asks
“So the pups won’t wake us at dawn” Sesshomaru replies
“But you lock the door every year and every year one of them gets in” Rin laughs
“One day I’m going to figure out how” Sesshomaru sighs
“Anyway, good night love” Rin says laying down
“Good night Rin” Sesshomaru says turning off the light and giving her a kiss

Back With Inuyasha and Kagome

“Ok, we have 5 hours till dawn” Inuyasha says looking at the clock
“I know, I thought the pups would have tired out long ago” Kagome says stretching
“Who do you think will wake up first, the twins?” Inuyasha asks
“Maybe, Suta might wake up before them, she was asleep first” Kagome replies
“That’s true. Good night koi.” Inuyasha says rubbing nose with her
“Good night” Kagome says turning off the light.
