“Sengoku Babies” chapter two

Inutaro's Terrible Two's

 

“Mama! Mama!” Inutaro screeched. Kagome huffed and blew a lock of hair out of her eyes.

“Inuyasha get in here and help me with him!” Kagome swore. Inutaro hung over her arm and wailed. His teeth showed jagged and small in his open mouth as he screeched and threw a tantrum. Souta covered his ears and glared over his shoulder at his older sister.

“He's been screaming all day! Can't you give him some Nyquil and knock him out?” he wanted to know. Kagome made a face at her ototo and would have flipped him off but Inutaro was learning all sorts of gestures if you weren't careful to hide it from him.

“He's just fussy! All babies go through this, and Mama said you were worse!” Kagome insisted. Souta grit his teeth and hunched his shoulders, staring at the tv. He cradled his playstation controller in his hands and tried to concentrate on his game.

“MAAAAAAAA!” Inutaro's wailing grew louder and Kagome juggled him.

“Sit down, baby, do you want your bear?” Kagome asked frantically. She set Inutaro on his diapered bottom and held her brow with one shaking hand. Inutaro clutched his teddy and screeched unhappily at his mother.

“Inuyasha, get in here!” Kagome peeked into the other room. Inuyasha was curled up on the floor in a ball, his wiry muscles showing through his white wife beater, his legs hidden in his billowy hakama.

“Wuh wuh I'm up! I'm good!” Inuyasha lifted his head suddenly. His golden eyes were blurred and he looked dizzy. Kagome sighed with exasperation.

“Just get in here, Inuyasha! And PLEASE help me with Inutaro,” she pleaded. Inuyasha crawled into the other room and looked down into his son's face. He was red from all his screaming and hiccupping now that his voice was about shot.

“Paaapaaaa,” Inutaro greeted him unhappily, his eyes filled with fat tears. Inuyasha kissed the top of his white head and lay back down on the floor, curling up around his son. Inutaro fisted the thin strap of his tank top and fretted softly, babyish sobs filling the room. Souta peeked over his shoulder and sighed.

“How come he never quiets down for me?” he wanted to know. Kagome collapsed on the couch.

“That's what I want to know,” she groused, slitting her eyelids shut. Inutaro crawled over his father's side and patted him on the back with his bear. Inuyasha snored.

It was only two in the afternoon.

 

* * * *

 

By bedtime, the young parents were fit to be tied. Mama Higurashi was a good sport as young grandmothers went, but even she looked haggard and Jii-chan wisely stayed in his shrine office and out of trouble. Inutaro was on the rampage. He had been crawling for a year, and toddling for three months so he was getting into absolutely everything. Souta had had a fine time explaining some rather scanty magazines he had stashed under his bed when his nephew had gotten into his bedroom. He kept his door closed when Inutaro was on the move now. It was safer that way.

Inuyasha rocked Inutaro, growling lowly under his breath. His pup enjoyed his baths now, but in his grumpy state, he splashed far more in retaliation than play. Kagome and he always came away looking like drowned rats. Inuyasha bounced Inutaro as he babbled rather happily. The young father was shirtless, his hakama soaked through from their nightly adventure with water. Kagome was changing and he had the task of trying to get their rowdy boy down to sleep. It seemed the older Inutaro got the more rambunctious he got and wanted to be into everything his parents were into.

“Go to sleep. Just go to sleep, please!” Inuyasha pleaded. Inutaro screeched and punched him in the shoulder. His chubby diapered form was bouncing every which way and Inuyasha growled, tucking him full under one arm like a football, and walked him into his nursery.

“PEEEEP!” Inutaro protested, flailing. Inuyasha ignored him, then picked him up and set him in his crib. Inutaro immediately climbed to his feet and fisted the bars of his crib.

“Peeeep up!” he yelled. Inuyasha swept his hair over one shoulder and grimaced.

“Go to sleep, pup! Papa needs his rest!” Inuyasha groused. Inutaro shook the bars and howled.

“Noooooo!”

Inuyasha grit his teeth and set Inutaro's small radio onto a classical channel. Kagome insisted on having their son listen to that soft music in hopes of stimulating his mind. Inutaro wailed as Inuyasha shut his door and he trudged back to Kagome's room. He reflected that it didn't seem to help any. Inuyasha bumped into Mrs. Higurashi in the hall and smiled uneasily.

“Oh, sorry about that…”

“It's okay, Inuyasha. Don't worry, he'll wear himself out,” Mama Higurashi smiled but you could see the exhaustion lining her eyes. Inuyasha gave her an apologetic look and poked into Souta's room to say goodnight. His younger brother-in-law had his pillow over his head, and didn't answer.

Inuyasha sighed and listened to his pup wail and scream as he found Kagome in her room. She was combing her long hair, grimacing with exhaustion. Inuyasha flung himself on her bed and pulled the covers over his head.

“He won't let up,” Inuyasha growled. Kagome smoothed her nightgown out and pulled the covers from her husband. Inuyasha glared at her.

“Don't go to sleep yet. I haven't had any time with you for days,” Kagome said. She rubbed his thighs through the baggy hakama but Inuyasha scowled.

“I'm fucking tired, Kagome! Aren't you exhausted too? He's been screaming for days!” Inuyasha complained.

“Well just looking at him even when he's fussy makes me think of the work that went into making him,” Kagome soothed. She leaned on the bed to kiss her husband but he held her at arms length.

“All the better that we don't make another one! Our pup's too much and he's only had two name days!” Inuyasha asserted. Kagome smacked his arms and when Inuyasha whined, she wormed her way against his chest and settled on top.

“I'm warning you, Kagome, get off of me!” he growled. Kagome giggled and pressed kisses down his chest.

“Don't be so grouchy! I love you, you know,” Kagome said. She yawned and Inuyasha wound his fingers through her hair.

“There, knew you were tired,” he leered. Kagome rubbed against him and stretched.

“He is a lot of work, but wouldn't you like another baby? At least one day again?” Kagome asked. Inuyasha listened to his pup fret and complain in the other but his screams decreased in volume.

“Hey, he's quieting down,” Inuyasha noticed. Kagome kissed his chin.

“You see? It's not so bad. And I want another baby from you,” she declared. Inuyasha smiled.

“Well, when you put it that way…. Hey, get out of there!”

“How about we start on the next one now?” Kagome asked impishly. They wrestled against each other for dominance.

“No! Kagome, we're not having another one right now!” Inuyasha yelped. “Stop touching me!”

“Moooooouu you don't want me to touch you? I want you to touch me,” Kagome pouted. She settled her hips against his in her position on top.

Inuyasha's hands twitched above her back.

“I'm not gonna do anything to give us more noise right now! You got pupped quick with Inutaro as it was!” Inuyasha protested. Kagome laughed and murmured lowly to him. Slaps of flesh could be heard outside of the room as Inuyasha yelped.

“But come on… give me another one,” Kagome giggled.

“No!”

“You know you want to…”

“Kagome, get off me!”

“Noooo you're impossible!”

“I told you, I don't want to!”

“Isn't that my line?”

“That's it, get off!”

Kagome was tossed unceremoniously onto the floor where she landed on her back, her legs still on top of the mattress. Inuyasha glared down at her. Kagome stared up at him and smacked his leg with her foot.

“You didn't have to throw me, Inuyasha! Why are you scared about getting me pregnant?” Kagome took her legs off the couch and rolled on her side to get up. Inuyasha lay on his back, his arm across his belly.

“Because it was so fast last time and something happened to me! I'm just….”

“You're scared something similar will happen if I conceive?” Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked up at her and nodded.

“That's ridiculous, love. Besides, you can't get me pregnant easily. I've been taking the pill awhile now,” Kagome said.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her. “The Pill? What's that?”

“It's a drug I take every day, Inuyasha,” Kagome answered.

“But what's it for? Are you sick?” Inuyasha ran his hand through her hair.

“No, it's to regulate my cycle.”

“Muh?” Inuyasha asked.

“It means,” Kagome kissed his cheek. “That I control when I conceive.”

Inuyasha's mind went into overdrive.

“You mean you can't be pupped right now?” he asked. Kagome nodded.

“Why didn't you just tell me?” Inuyasha asked.

“Well you were being so obstinate I thought I'd… Inuyasha!”

Inuyasha rolled Kagome onto her back and pinned her arms above her head.

“You brought this on yourself,” he teased. Inutaro's wailing stopped them a few minutes later however.

“I'll get him,” Inuyasha groused. Kagome lay tangled in the sheets and yawned, watching him take off.

“What now? Huh? What are you doing?” Inuyasha asked, sliding into the nursery. Inutaro grinned and spit out a mouthful of feathers.

“Look!” he insisted. Inuyasha groaned. His pup had torn open his pillow and scattered the feathers within around. It looked like a chicken had been plucked in there.

“No, pup! No!” Inuyasha whined. He took the remains of the pillow from his son and dropped it onto the floor, then collected him into his arms. Inutaro wailed at the loss of his prize and waved his hands frantically, trying to reach stray floating feathers.

“Are you okay in there?” Mama Higurashi called. Souta groaned audibly from his room.

“Just fine! Gotta clean something up,” Inuyasha called. Inutaro clawed his shoulder. Inuyasha bounced him sharply.

“Don't do that to your old man!” he hissed. Inutaro pooched his lower lip out and pouted.

Inuyasha carried Inutaro into the bathroom to brush feathers out of his hair and to clean his hands off. He caught a glimpse of his boy and himself in the mirror going in and reflected that even though he was growing up into a handful, he was his and he loved him.

“Okay, pup, sit still for your papa. Sit still!” Inuyasha pleaded. Inutaro plopped down and slammed his palms up and down on the tiled floor. He giggled as his father wet a washcloth and scrubbed at his arms.

“You need to stop attacking and eating things…” Inuyasha grumbled. Inutaro grinned madly. He spit out another feather. Inuyasha groaned.

 

End for now
