InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Joys of Being Unaware ❯ Babies ( Chapter 7 )

Hey, would you look at this? It's another chapter. I've had this chapter written for a while, I just had to wait until Steffaniey the Lavishly Splendid got to the part in her story where Sesshoumaru adopts Rin. After she put it up, though, I was too lazy to type it up. I finally did it, though, so be happy. ^.^ And I hope you like this chapter.

Lord Sesshoumaru, where do babies come from?

 

 

It was a bright and sunny day. A Tuesday, to be exact. Rin was outside, frolicking through the flowers, InuYasha was at Sango's house, and Sesshoumaru was sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper. Yes, all was well in their little household. Well, until Rin decided she had a question, that is.

 

Rin came in from frolicking, and pulled on Sesshoumaru's shirt sleeve. “Lord Sesshoumaru, I have a question.” He looked down at the cute little girl. “Hn.” Rin took that as permission to continue. “Lord Sesshoumaru, where do babies come from?”

 

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. For the first time in his life, his face showed emotion. You could actually hear his usually stoic mask breaking into a thousand tiny pieces. People all around the world could hear his jaw hitting the ground. (I think you all get the picture.) “Wh-what!?” he asked, in a high-pitched, girly voice. Rin repeated her question. “Where do babies come from?” Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin's adorable, shiny eyes and replaced his stoic mask.

 

“Umm…” He cleared his throat, thinking up an explanation. “Oh, yes. Well you see, they come from a baby store.” Rin looked puzzled. “A baby store? What's that?” “It's the place where people get babies from. You see, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they go to the baby store.” Rin looked puzzled again. “But Souta and Kohaku said that the stork brought the babies.” “That's just an old wives tale. It has no real meaning to it. But storks do work at the baby store,” Sesshoumaru stated, matter-of-factly. “Oh… But then, why do people say that storks bring the babies?” “Because they're idiots. Now pay attention, I'm not finished explaining.” Rin got an attentive look on her face.

 

“Alright,” Sesshoumaru started. “Now, as I said before, the mommy and the daddy go to the baby store. There, they fill out an application-” “What's the application for?” “To see if they eligible to have a baby. And don't interrupt, it's rude. Now, they fill out an application and go home. If they have met the requirements for having a baby, then they get one. See the application is put into a machine, then the stork takes the baby, wraps it up in a diaper-like thing, and brings it to the couple's doorstep.” “But I thought you said the stork didn't bring the baby.” “They do, just not on their own.” “Do the storks get paid?” “No.” “What's the machine for?” “The machine makes the babies.” “Do the mommy and daddy get to pick if it's a boy or a girl?” “No.” “Why?” “Because they don't.”

 

Rin kept asking meaningless questions, and Sesshoumaru kept making up answers to the questions. “But, but Lord Sesshoumaru, why do they need a machine to make the babies?” “Because that's how the babies are made?” “But why with a machine?” “Because that's just how it is!” “But-” “No.” “But Lord Sessh-” “I said no.” “Bu-” “Stop asking questions!” “But Lord Sesshoumaru!”

 

Sesshoumaru finally got fed up with the constant questioning. “Do you want to go out and get some ice cream?” Rin's face lit up. “Yay! Ice cream!” With that, Rin ran out of the house and to Sesshoumaru's car. Sesshoumaru (finally) put down his newspaper and replaced his stoic mask (which had fallen, once again). He stood up, grabbed his keys, and walked to the door. On his way out, if anyone had been around at the time, they would have heard him muttering “Stupid humans” and the like, to himself. Then, he shut the door to the house, went and got into his car, made sure Rin was buckled in safely, and took off toward the nearest ice cream parlor.
