InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sketches ❯ What Goes Around Comes Around ( Chapter 3 )

This one-shot was awarded 5th place in Ebony Silk's challenge of “Child.” I own none of these characters and make no profit from any of this.

 

 

 

“You're the person that said no nannies, if I remember correctly. How did it go again, “I would not trust anyone else with my child. How hard can taking care of a child be, anyway?” Inuyasha said, doing his best Sesshoumaru impersonation as he plopped down on the couch.

 

“Do not make me forget my debt to you and remove your head, half breed. This day has been trying enough without your needling.” Sesshourmaru replied from the rocking chair. He looked down at the bundle of white hair and blankets curled tightly in his arms, who thankfully, was finally asleep.

 

“You have vomit in your hair.” Inuyasha pointed out.

 

“And you have cereal stuck to your forehead.” Sesshoumaru retorted.

 

Inuyasha stood up slowly and started collecting the numerous toys strung across the living room. “When is Kagome coming back again?” he asked as he began to pick up the doll stuffing that covered the living room. He remembered he had chosen that moment to walk in the front door and see his 2 year old niece on all fours, her stuffed white dog in her jaws, shaking her head furiously side to side and sending white filling all over the room, and Sesshoumaru standing over her, head bowed and fingers pinching the bridge of his nose.

 

“Sunday evening. She is flying in around 5 pm.” Sesshoumaru replied.

 

“Three more days?! That kid is going to be the death of us, you know!”

 

“Keep your voice down! Do you want to wake her up AGAIN?” Sesshoumaru hissed to silence his brother.

 

“Sorry,” Inuyasha replied in a whisper, “but I mean, three days? It took two of us just to survive one day.”

 

“I am aware of that. Now, I am going to attempt to put her down in her bed for the night. After we both clean ourselves up, we will make an attack plan for dealing with this situation.” He said, slowly getting up, trying not to disturb the sleeping child in his arms.

 

“You need an attack plan to deal with your two year old?” Inuyasha retorted. He snickered as he received a death glare as a response.

“Gently, Gently, please don't wake up . . . please don't wake up . . .”he thought while laying his only daughter down on her Hello Kitty blankets. Breathing a sigh of relief, his daughter simply rolled over and fell into a deeper sleep. He slowly backed out of her room using every ounce of stealth his father ever taught him.

 

Closing the door, he breathed a deep sign of relief. “How does Kagome do this day in and day out? This is utterly ridiculous. It ends now.”

“Inuyasha. Put down the diaper genie and hand me the phone.”

 

“What for?”

 

“I am solving this situation once and for all.”

“Home Sweet Home,” Kagome thought as she pulled into the driveway. “Well, the house is still standing, so the weekend couldn't have gone too badly . . . There's Sess, let's hope he isn't in a royally bad mood.”

 

“Welcome home, my love,” Sesshoumaru said as he greeted her in the driveway, picking up her bags and giving her a slow kiss.

 

“Well, hello yourself. I see you survived this weekend. Where is Mizuki?”

 

“She is being taken care of. Come, I have a surprise for you.”

“Wow, the house is spotless! I can't believe you guys actually cleaned! Thank you so much!” Kagome said as she stood in the doorway admiring her wonderfully clean home.

 

Inuyasha snorted, “Do you think Sesshoumaru would lower himself to clean? We called someone to do it for you!”

 

“Oh. I see.” She said. “Wait - why would you need to call someone to come clean the house? Did it get that dirty in three days?”

 

“Uh, I think I hear Mizuki, let me go check on her.” Inuyasha yammered as he ran out of the living room.

 

Kagome turned to her mate. “So, why was the house in such dire need of cleaning that you had to call someone?”

 

“I have reconsidered my position on nannies and servants. Upon further review, I feel it is in our family's best interest to keep 2 full time nannies, a maid, and a cook on staff at all times.”

 

“Okaaayyy . . . but what about your policy of “I don't trust anyone to be that close to my daughter” attitude?” Kagome questioned. Then it dawned on her. “She wore you out and tore up the house, didn't she?” Kagome smirked at her mate attempting to dodge eye contact. “I know she did. You can't lie to me.”

 

“Fine. Just so you know, our daughter is the most stubborn, hard headed, single-minded, SPOILED hanyou I have ever met. Including Inuyasha.” Sesshoumaru stated.

 

“Hmm. Sounds like she's taking after her father!” she laughed.
