~The Tale of Horses!

It was relaxing night and Kagome had settled into bed. Her husband was tucking the kids in their beds, and It wasn't until a little after ten when he entered their bedroom. He gave his wife a romantic kiss and huddled her close to him. If it wasn't for the blatant fact at how tired she was, they would have gotten into it already. Kagome was well engaged into a book, but Inuyasha had something a little bit more interesting to please her interest.

"Ichriou's teacher called today."

Kagome closed her book and looked at her husband in disbelief. He was usually a good kid. He was about the same age as Ume. What could he possibly get into?

"What? Did he do something wrong?" A worried look had filled her features.

"Well, they had an assignment and they had to talk about their favorite animal." He held back a chuckle. "Remember last year when Sesshomaru took him horse riding? Well apparently that memory stuck with him."

"Oh yeah, I remember that. We were on vacation and left the kids with him." She smiled. "Well that must have been interesting."

"Very entertaining, because apparently he talked all about it." She laid against his chest in confusion. Inuyasha began to laugh. He then took a piece of paper from the night table and handed it to Kagome. "Read this."

"Okay…" She looked at him awkwardly before reading.

"I like hores. Hores have other hores frinds. Hoes like carots but they can put thir legs strait up just lik me. Hores make you feel good. My dad wants a hores but my mom says no. When I am older. Strong like the horse. I will buy my own hores and I thn I can play wit my own hores. My uncl says hors shud be played with often. When I get my own I will rid my hores all night unil they cant ride no more. I hope when I hav a hores that they will have baby hores…"

Kagome's eyes grew wide as her face grew red.

"Oh that's not the best part," Kagome looked at him horrified. "His teacher wants us to come in for a parent teacher conference, because apparently when they read it to the class, she thought it would be a bright idea to show it as a presentation to the entire school as a young dreamer's project. It was projected all throughout the school."

"Oh Ichriou…" Kagome sighed.

"He's your son." Inuyasha said teasingly.

"Psh, you helped... I was just an incubator."

"Touché."

~The Little Things

Ume was a very determined four year old hanyou. She was very outgoing and short tempered like her father. She was also interested in almost everything, but drawing was her expertise. Her mother Kagome bought her paper, wild colors of Crayola, brushes, and pencils. It seemed Ume used them all in a day or two. She was very smart, and incredibly talented. Her brothers would tease her at times, but she made sure to have them regret their decisions.

Ume love drawing everything. It came so naturally that she would draw objects to people to cars, and seasons. This time she had decided to take on something more challenging. She wanted to learn to draw houses. Where ever you looked, you could see papers with drawings of square houses with square windows and little chimneys on the roof - smoke curling up to the sky under a bright yellow sun. She would always add in an amazingly blue sky that invariably had one white cloud. There was always bright green grass around the house, speckled with red flowers. Ume loved red flowers.

Ume showed her drawings to everyone. She especially wanted to impress her father. Ume sure loved her dad and wanted to bond in a way that no other could understand. She wanted to bond very much – but Inuyasha always seemed to be too busy. Kagome watched with a heavy heart at how Ume and her father very seldom played together. She could see the disappointment in her eyes. She understood very well at how the father reacted to Ume's attempts to show her drawings to him. It wasn't right. He needed to show appreciation for the little things.

One day, Ume went to her mother and showed her, her beautiful painting. "Yes, honey, that is lovely," Kagome smiled widely at the child in appreciation. Inuyasha would barely glimpse at Ume´s drawings, and then answer his cell phone for work, or head to his studies in attempt to research information for international business meetings that came in the fall.

That didn't stop Ume from trying to accomplish attention from her busy father. She made another attempt and used many hours to draw a well detailed house. It was brilliant. She had drawn individual tiles and colored them one by one, carefully leaving white space between the tiles. She had drawn curtains in the windows, and herself, mom and happily looking out of them. On the lawn was the puppy she so much wanted to have, although her father used to impersonate one when she was an infant.

She ran from her bedroom and her brothers in the hallway. She then paused to see the two fighting… again. Sometimes she wondered what it would be like to not have to bother with older idiots.

"Move out the way!" Yelled, Ume as she held her drawing to her chest.

Her call fell on deaf ears. She started to get agitated as she was toppled by her siblings. Her ears stood up as she tried to crawl helplessly from the throwing of fist. Clawing the wooden floor below her, she failed in attempts to break free. The shavings of the floor crept up between her little clawed fingers. It was bright tan color and clearly obvious. Their parents were going to kill them.

'Must... break… free…' Her eyes grew wide. She was being pulled forcibly back into the fight. She held the drawing in the air to remove it from damage. 'Eeep…'

"Give Kirara back! Aunt Sango told me I could watch her!" Akio pulled aggressively against Ichriou ears, as he yelped in pain. "Give her here!" Cried, Akio.

"No!" Kirara then jumped from his arms and turned around to watch them bicker. "Her fur is pink! You dyed her pink you idiot!" Growled, Ichriou.

Ichriou then flipped his younger brother as Ume slipped from under Akio in mid stride. Ichriou then began pulling on Akio's dark mane.

She then got up and dashed into the living room where her mother stayed as Kirara followed after. "Look, mom!" She smiled wickedly and flashed a wide smile that showed her pearly white fangs. Sneakily, she pounced on Kagome as her mother caught one of her booties. Ume giggled while she was held upside down.

"What's up sweetie?" She sat her child in chair next to the table, as she placed a plate of food in front of the child.

Kagome gasped in surprised. "Oh, Ume, this is so beautiful! It is definitely your best." Ume beamed.

"I want to show dad!" She then excused herself from the table before her mother caught the tail of her shirt. Ume had a puzzled look on her face as she looked at her mother from behind.

"Wait a minute missy, what about dinner?" Ume then gave her mother the most famous Takashi pout. "Now that I think of it, where are your brothers?" Kagome then unconsciously let go of her daughter's shirt as Ume raced out of the kitchen before she noticed.

She ran down the hall and jumped to the door of her father´s study.

"Dad!" She struggled to open the door.

It was locked. Ume´s mom then walked down the hallway and saw the expression of disappointment on her daughter´s face. She reached for the door knob once again.

"Dad?" Ume then sulked as she clawed her hands against the door.

They could both hear him talking business with someone on the phone. Then the talking seem to cease.

"Dad!" Ume knocked on the door, -"I want you to see the house I made!"

"I´m sorry, Ume, I am busy," Came his voice behind the door, "Can´t you show it to someone else sweetie?"

Ume´s hand fell down to her side. She looked down on her magnificent drawing and her lower lip started to tremble.

"I don´t want to show it to anyone else. I want to show it to my dad. You're the only dad I have!"

The last words were no more than a whisper and yet they were left hanging in the air like someone had shouted them.

Ume´s mom felt such heaviness in her heart and she took a step towards her daughter, ready for a hug. But before she took another step, she heard a click. And the door was unlocked as Inuyasha appeared. He looked heart broken and embarrassed.

"I´m sorry Ume. I was stupid," He kissed his daughter´s cheek. "Come here and we´ll look at your drawing!"

He then picked her up and walked into the room to admire the child's beautiful work of art. It was magnificent. Ume then smiled sweetly to her father and dug her claws teasingly into his cheeks. Then he realized. The bundle of joy adored him more than anything in the world. She looked up to him, and he refused to let her down ever again. His tiny hanyou Ume, and her talented work of art.

~Smarty

It was a late evening and I was in the living room enjoying some casual TV while Inuyasha was at work. The channel was on the food network, and I thought about making a special dinner tonight. Losing my trance of thought, I felt a slight tug on my shirt, and turned to see my beautiful 2 year old Aiko. He was proud and in the nude. I was going to ask him where his diaper was until he pulled me off the couch.

Leading me into the hallway, he started to speak. "Mama, I went poo-poo in the potty." So I went to take a look to see if it was true, and it turned out it was! I was granted the cutest gift a mother could ever have besides birthing my children. My 2 year old had finally gone pooping in the potty. Now for some, this isn't the biggest achievement, but you don't know just how much of an achievement this was. He was potty training, but didn't want to go in the potty. I knew something was up. He thought he was being pretty smart.

I started clapping my hands and dancing around the potty to show him how happy I was and how proud I was of him. But a few minutes later I noticed he didn't have a diaper on. I went and asked him where it was, and obviously his response was i don't no. I started looking around for it but couldn't find it. Then out of nowhere I looked between his toy box and the wall there it was. He had made poo-poo in the diaper, and put it in his potty for me to think he had done it there. He then rolled it up and hid it between the toy box and the wall so i wouldn't see.

"Aiko…" I gave him a disapproving look, but softened because of his pudgy cheeks sucking on his tiny claws.

"I sorry mommy."
