A/N: just for fun! Same universe as Painted Claws: Inuyasha with Kagome in the modern world with their 2 kids. Originally posted on my tumblr!
"Daddy?"
"What?"
"Can you do my homework for me?"
"No."
"But I want to-"
"Izzy, no. You gotta do your own homework or else you ain't gonna learn anything."
Izayoi's black puppy ears drooped, disappearing inside the tangled mess of black hair on her head. She pouted and picked up her pencil in her hands again. "Fine."
"Daddy?"
"What?"
"Can you do my homework for-"
"Noburo, what did I just tell your sister?"
The silver-haired boy grinned sheepishly before ducking his head and returning to his worksheet. Inuyasha sighed and leaned back in his chair. The kids were sitting at the kitchen table finishing up their homework while Inuyasha scrolled through the news on his phone.
"Daddy?"
He signed and glanced up. "Yes, Izzy?"
She pointed to a turquoise square on her homework. "What color is this?"
"That's turquoise, honey," a female voice said from the doorway before Inuyasha could respond. All three occupants at the kitchen table looked up to see Kagome slipping off her shoes as she came into the house. Inuyasha stood up immediately to greet her.
"You're back early," he noted happily.
She smiled warmly back at him. "They decided to close up early since no one was coming in. Good thing, too, or else Izzy never would've recognized the color turquoise, huh?" She playfully nudged her husband, who merely scowled in return.
"Hi mommy," the two children chorused when she joined them at the kitchen table.
"Hello," she greeted, kissing each child between their fuzzy ears. "Have you been good? Cause any trouble?"
"Nope!" Noburo announced proudly. He showed his mother his completed homework with obvious pride shining in his black eyes. After a quick check for mistakes, Kagome allowed her youngest child to go play with his toys.
"No fair!" Izayoi cried as she watched her younger brother scamper off. "I want to play!"
Kagome wagged a finger at her daughter. "Only after you finish your homework."
Izayoi huffed and turned to her father, her color identifying homework in her hands. "Daddy, what color is this?"
"Uh…"
"Magenta," Kagome offered.
"And what about this one?"
Kagome pursed her lips before naming the color periwinkle blue.
"And this one?"
Kagome cast a sly glance at her husband before turning to him and asking, "Inuyasha, why don't you answer this one?"
His glare could have melted glaciers. "Izayoi," he said slowly through gritted teeth. "Why don't you just go play now, okay?"
Immediately, she cheered and raced off to find her brother. As soon as Izayoi was out of sight, Kagome giggled and wrapped her arms around her rigid husband. "You know I was only joking," she whispered as she pressed a quick kiss to his frowning lips.
"Keh. It's not like I asked to be born color blind," he muttered, at last relenting and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I'll stop," she assured him. "I just have one question though," she added, looking thoughtfully at Inuyasha's tie. "What color is this?"
Inuyasha whimpered and closed his eyes in exasperation. Goddammit, Kagome.
