Chapter 20

 

 

It had been a week since they had returned home. The babies were a constant of want and need. The children begged to be played with and her Inus had not been happy to learn that she would not be able to accommodate them for a couple of weeks. She was so tired that finally she had just fallen asleep in Rin's room while she …..fixed her hair.

 

Maru and Sesshomaru had been trying to bind the babies' powers until they were able to control them. Thunderstorms had rolled threw the dinning room while the study had been struck by a tornado. Ka was by far the most mischievous baby any nanny had ever encountered. Learning that when he set their hair on fire they made funny noises.

 

So they now had no nanny that would set foot near the palace or even in the western lands. Sesshomaru had no luck in finding Totosai. Maru at the moment had no luck finding Kagome and the babies were hungry again. When they did find her Rin was all smiles and Kagome hair was a rat's nest.

 

“Mom looks pretty now.” Rin said to the startled inus.

 

“Yes …yawn …pretty…Ri..” Kagome muttered. Cracking red eyes open at the sound of little cries. Flipping to her to her back she watched Rin leave as she opened her top.

 

“Just latch them on.” She yawned again.

 

Maru and Sesshomaru looked at their poor mate. They would have to do something about this soon. Walking over Maru sat behind Kagome as she leaned on him and two little ones started feeding. The two others waited patiently on the futon as Sesshomaru sat next to them. Maru was trying to rid her hair of the tangles, but failing horribly.

 

“Damn it Maru stop that hurts.” She snarled.

 

“Love have you seen yourself lately?” Maru asked grabbing a mirror.

 

When she first looked into the mirror she had thought that they were playing a joke on her. The woman in the mirror had dark circles under her eyes, Her hair was oily mated and ratted, Red veins popped in her eyes and she was utterly repulsive. So Kagome did the only thing that she could at the time. She burst into tears.

 

“I'm… a troll. No, I am uglier… than a troll is. I am a… terrible mother. I ….can't …do ..this anymore. My life….is a…tragedy.” She wailed as Maru tried to nuzzle her.

 

Sesshomaru noticed something when she started her tearful tantrum. The babies had stopped crying. The little ones had been able to understand them this whole time. He watched in fascination as they all looked at one another and then to their mother. The two in her arms tried to comfort her while the other two crawled up to her side.

 

Kagome and Maru had also stopped to look upon the little ones. Infants had played them for fools. Kagome smacked her self in the forehead as she looked to her inus. They luckily looked just as dumbfounded as she did.

 

“They can understand us.” Sesshomaru said

 

“Thanks for stating the obvious.” She glowered.

 

“Babies we have to have an understanding. You can not set people on fire Ka, spin them in tornadoes Kaze, drench them in rainstorms Mizu and Tsuchi no opening the ground to swallow anyone.” Kagome said firmly

 

After the feeding she decided to have a little time for herself. The babies had been put down for a nap. Rin and Shippo had been whisked away by Miroku to the slayer village. For the first time in a long while the palace was silent and peaceful. Even her inus were playing nicely with each other.

 

As she slipped into the water she felt them enter the spring behind her. Turning and covering her self they stopped and looked at her as if she were crazy.

 

“Kagome we do not expect anything. We merely wish to be with you and wash you.” Maru said walking once more to her only for her to back up again.

 

“I'm ugly and fat now. Why would you want to look at me.” She said as a tear escaped her eye.

 

“You are not ugly Kagome. We desire you more than you know.” Sesshomaru said

 

She stopped in her retreat and let a sigh slip. She was being silly really, but she had been so tiny and now she was….not tiny. She let them pamper her as Maru washed her hair and Sesshomaru washed her body. She relaxed under the treatment. Of course between the washing were little nips, kisses and caresses.

 

After it had been learned that the babies could understand what they were doing and had in fact had been in control of their powers the entire time. Sesshomaru had a long talk with the tiny elementals. Kagome was afraid to know what he said to her babies, but whatever it was they shaped up.

 

By some act of the gods or rather a really smooth talking inu named Maru a new nanny had been acquired. The children had been brought back from the slayer village and the palace was a home again instead of the war zone it had seemed lately. Kagome was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
