To Trust the One You Love
Chapter 1:
Baby Sitting
It was completely dark throughout the house; the only light being given off was the soft glow from the television in the living room. The television changed channels almost every five minutes as a boy dressed in nothing but sweatpants lazily stretched out on a large couch. His long silver hair was pulled back in a low ponytail with a strand of black hair falling out of its hold. Beautiful bright blue eyes stared at the television as light lit up the room; making the single stripes on his cheeks and marking on his forehead seem darker then what they really were. He gave a loud sigh as he continued flipping channels, absolutely nothing was on and he was bored out of his mind. Changing the channel again he almost screamed as some kiddy show came one with a purple dinosaur singing "I Love You" and fumbled the controller trying to change the channel again. Finally setting on some bike racing show he dropped the controller on the floor and stretched, his arm hanging over the side of the couch. His parents were taking forever to get home.
Only twenty minutes later the boy settled down, curling up on the couch with a fresh bowl of popcorn in his lap. One of those blood and guts movies was on and he laughed every time someone was killed. It was especially funny when the woman ran upstairs every time the killer was after her. The point was for them to get away from the killer, not to trap yourself and make it easier for them to kill you. He laughed as the killer snuck up behind the terrified victim.
"You're gonna get it" he chuckled popping another piece of popcorn in his mouth.
Just as the woman turned to see the killer as he was about to strike a scream ripped throughout the house causing him to jump, throwing his popcorn everywhere. Not a second later he was up and running down the hall when another scream sounded out. He rounded the corner into a bedroom and flicked the light on. A little girl with the same marking on her forehead as his and a single stripe on her right cheek sobbed loudly, a death grip on her dog plushie. Quietly he walked over to the girl and sat down on her small bed, pulling the small child in his arms.
"What's wrong Nami?" he asked.
"Aiden… I… I want my mommy" she cried into his chest.
"Mom's not here right now, she's still out with dad" he said.
"Bro bro" She sniffled and looked up at him with her bright golden eyes.
"Did you have a bad dream again?" Aiden asked.
The girl nodded "There was this mean, scary man" she sniffled "he tried to hurt mommy… and, and daddy."
"The same dream like last time?" her brother asked.
A sob and a small cry was his answer as the child held her plushie closer and cried.
"Do you want to come watch T.V with me?" he looked down at her.
"Can we watch my… favorite movie?" Nami looked back up at him.
"Sure" Aiden stood up and pulled a blanket off Nami's bed then wrapped it around the girl.
Holding Nami close to him he walked out of her room and back to the living room. He set the sniffling girl on the couch after brushing some popcorn off then walked over to the hutch holding all their movies. Flipping through all the Disney movies they had he finally pulled Nami's favorite movie out. Why American Tale, Fievel Goes West was her favorite movie he had no idea. It was about mice and cats for crying out loud. Giving a shrug he popped the movie in then returned back to the couch. After picking up Nami he laid down on the couch, stretched out on his back and let his sister lay on his chest, her blanket wrapped around her and her plushie clutched close. Aiden wrapped an arm around her and played the movie.
Not even half way through the movie and Nami was fast asleep. Aiden yawned and smiled, she never did like to let go of that stuffed animal. Almost every where they went she took it with her. Fixing the blanket around Nami Aiden's smile soon turned into a frown. Every nightmare she has always turned out the same way with someone in the family being hurt and she rarely ever had a good dream anymore. Giving a small yawn he went back to watching the movie, he would have to tell his parents that she had a bad dream when they came home. Letting out another yawn he soon fell asleep.
----------
The lock to the front door slowly unlocked and the door opened as Kagome walked in. She set her keys and purse down on the small table by the door as she dropped her concealing spell. Yawning she walked further into the house then stopped, a soft smile forming on her lips. Sesshoumaru walked up behind Kagome after closing and locking the door, his concealing spell gone as well. He followed her gaze to the couch and saw Aiden lying on the couch with Nami, the two asleep. The T.V gave off a blue glow showing that the movie had stopped. Kagome walked around the couch and knelt down next to Aiden. She gently brushed some hair away from his face and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
Aiden shifted opening his eyes to look at Kagome "Hi mom" he said sleepily.
"Hey" Kagome said softly.
"Nami had another back dream again" Aiden shifted to sit up, bringing Nami with him.
"Again?" Kagome frowned.
Aiden nodded as he gave out a small yawn.
"I'll take her back to bed" Sesshoumaru walked over to them.
Aiden waited for Sesshoumaru to walk around the couch then handed Nami off to him, the child never waking. Sesshoumaru shifted the small child then headed down to her room.
"What took so long?" Aiden asked looking over at his mother.
"Sorry" Kagome said "The business meeting went longer than we thought then your father and I went out for a while."
Aiden raised an eyebrow "You dragged dad around town during the middle of the night to every dancing club again didn't you?"
Kagome simply smiled for his answer "Sorry to keep you up for so long, I know you have to be up early."
He shrugged it off "no big deal, it's just a race. I don't need much sleep for those."
"And I still don't like the idea of you racing those things, let alone driving them" Kagome stood up.
"Oh come on, motorcycles aren't that bad" Aiden smiled.
"You and your motorcycles, I especially don't like that cross rocket" Kagome said.
"Crotch rocket" Aiden corrected with a smile.
"Whatever" Kagome yawned "How you and your father came to like those things is beyond me."
"How you can like riding in a small, cramped car with a roof is beyond me at least all the cars dad has are convertibles" Aiden said.
"I happen to like my car" Kagome giggled.
"Riding a motorcycle is the closest thing we can get to running at top speed" Aiden smiled "You should let me take you for a ride sometime, you haven't even went with dad yet and I can drive a lot better than him."
"Speaking of your dad" Kagome walked over to the popcorn bowl and picked it up "You better pick up this mess or Sesshoumaru is going to kill you."
"Oh yeah, forgot about that" he let out a loud yawn then shuffled over to his mess.
Aiden knelt down with his mother and began to pick up the popcorn. When they eventually finished, though it did take a little longer than they expected from an unwarned popcorn battle they said their good nights and went to their rooms.
Kagome smiled as she walked into her bedroom. Sesshoumaru was already in a pair of pajama pants and had the blankets on the bed pulled back. Walking over to Sesshoumaru she gave him a light kiss then moved over to her closet to put on a nightgown. Sesshoumaru sat down on the bed and laid back then watched Kagome walk over to him after she put her nightgown on, the short silk fabric not covering much. Kagome crawled up on the bed and over to Sesshoumaru. She laid down, resting her head on his chest.
"How's Nami?" she asked.
"She woke up when I laid her down" Sesshoumaru wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist "She had the same dream."
Kagome sighed "I don't know what to do; we can't take her to the doctor because someone we don't want to might find out but what if they really are visions?"
"They very well might be visions, she is stronger than most pups her age" Sesshoumaru said.
"But why would they keep coming to her like that?" Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru with worried eyes.
"Perhaps it is time to contact Von and Tiara. They do have the number one youkai medical facility" Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome.
"I know but I don't want to do anything that might hurt her" Kagome said.
"Neither do I but would you rather continue to let her have these dreams and not even try to find out why this is happening?" Sesshoumaru pulled her closer.
"I guess your right" Kagome sighed.
Sesshoumaru gave a small nod and kissed the top of her head "Get some sleep."
Kagome sighed closing her eyes. She didn't really want to sleep anymore. All she wanted to do was to curl up with Nami and hold her close, hoping that everything would be better. But of course that was the case; simply holding her wouldn't make everything go away. Ever since she turned four things gradually began to get worse for her daughter. A simple concealing spell wouldn't hide her youkai features like it did with everyone else. Kagome had to get help from another youkai to make a necklace for Nami that was strong enough. For her age she couldn't be as strong as she was, Sesshoumaru was right on that part. Perhaps Von and Tiara might be able to help. Slowly Kagome began to fall asleep, she only had thoughts on Nami. Sesshoumaru however stayed awake, the same thoughts as Kagome's running though his head.
---------------
Aiden wheeled his bike through the crowd, his helmet hanging off the handle bars. Sota, all grown up, walked beside him taking in all the sights around him. Smiling Aiden looked over at Sota, nothing like going to a race with your uncle who acted more like your brother. He looked down at his watch and picked up the pace slightly. He had to get to his tent and check over his bike, his first race was in an hour and a half. Itaru was going to be mad, he liked to go over the bikes thoroughly before he raced.
"Itaru's going to be mad at you" Sota smirked reading Aiden's mind.
"Please uncle" Aiden laughed "I can take care of him."
"Probably" Sota agreed "But that sill won't save you from another one of his speeches about keeping motorcycles in shape."
Aiden laughed "True, anyway, we're here now."
As predicted Itaru was standing under the tent, arms crossed over his chest, tapping his foot on the ground. Aiden gave Itaru an innocent look and wheeled his bike over to him then pulled his blonde hair back.
"Your late" Itaru said.
"Don't worry" Aiden said "The bike is fine, I went over it myself yesterday."
"I still want to make sure that it is in good shape, we don't want anything to go wrong and make you crash when you're racing." Itaru said as he looked over the bike.
Sota shook his head "You worry like my sister."
"Yeah well, I get it from my mom" Itaru shrugged "And Aiden, if you would quit using your bike to hit on girls maybe you would be on time for once."
"Yep, just like mom" Aiden laughed then quieted as a voice came over the speakers placed around over the racing grounds announcing when the race would start "They're starting the race sooner, is the bike to your liking?" he smirked as Itaru glared at him.
Itaru wiped his hand on an old rag "Yeah, what about your gear, the new clothes fit your right?"
"Yes mother" Aiden said.
"Good" Itaru walked over and smacked Aiden on the head causing Sota to laugh.
"Ow" Aiden rubbed his head and moved over to his bike "I better get going, I race in a few."
"Alright, we'll meet you there" Sota said.
Aiden gave a small nod and wheeled his bike off to the racing track.

Nami giggled as she ran through the house in her brand new bathing suit. Rin followed the little girl, not far behind in a bathing suit of her own. Mom and dad were at work and the daily baby sitters decided to go swimming. Of course one of the lazy baby sitter was already in the pool while Rin helped Nami get ready. Stopping at the glass door to the pool Nami waited for Rin to catch up.
"Hurry, hurry" Nami giggled.
"Alright" Rin laughed as she opened the door allowing Nami to slip through.
"Hideki!" Nami called out.
Hideki smiled form his spot in the pool "Come on Nami!" he held his arms.
With out a second thought Nami held out her arms and ran towards Hideki who easily caught her then fell back in the water, taking the child under with him. Nami laughed when they surfaced, Hideki holding her up. Rin walked to the edge of the pool and sat down, sticking her legs in the water. She watched as Hideki gently threw the child across the pool only to have her swim back to be thrown again.
Hideki looked over at Rin and smirked. He held Nami and whispered in the child's ear. Nami smiled causing Rin to look at the two cautiously. After a few minutes Nami swam over to Rin and grabbed her leg.
"Come play" Nami smiled.
"Not right now" Rin returned the smile.
Hideki made his way over to the two girls "Come on, your missing out on all the fun."
"Don't you even dare" Rin warned "I just had my hair premed."
"You can get another perm" the wolf said.
"Do you realize who much it costs to get a perm and how long you have to sit?" Rin argued.
Hideki shrugged "You've done it before" he gently took Rin's other ankle.
"Hideki" the older woman warned.
But Hideki paid Rin no mind and in one, swift motion he pulled her from the pools edge and into the water. Rin surfaced, spitting out water then glared daggers at Hideki. Nami crawled out of the pool, giggling and clapping her hands together.
"You really want to sleep on the floor, don't you" Rin glared "Not on the couch, but on the cold, hard, wooden floor."
Hideki looked at Rin and stuck his lower lip out, giving her what was officially titled 'The Puppy Eyes' something that Rin could never hold out against. I was just so cute! Slowly her glare faded as did her anger for Hideki and she resulted in a heavy sigh. There was nothing she could do now, her perm was completely ruined. Oh well, she would just have to make Hideki pay for it. Nami laughed and giggled. It was fun watching Hideki get in trouble with Rin. Rin sighed again than swam over towards Nami.
"You just love helping Hideki in his little plots against me, don't you?" Rin smiled at the small child.
Nami giggled "Hideki promised ice cream and a movie."
Rin laughed pulling herself out of the water to sit on the pools edge. The things Nami would do for ice cream and a movie. She looked at her watch, thankful that it was water proof. Lunch time, maybe they would go somewhere.
As if on que Nami waved her arms in the air "I'm hungry!"
"Well then, we'll have to do something about that."
Hideki, Nami and Rin looked over at the door to the pool room. Sesshoumaru was standing there, leaning against the door frame. Both Rin and Hideki had always wondered how he could sneak up on them like that so easily. They were demons and couldn't even sense him coming. But then again, he was Lord Sesshoumaru, a name that is still frightening among demons to this day.
Nami squealed and ran over to Sesshoumaru, latching around his leg "Daddy!"
Sesshoumaru patted Nami on the head and inwardly sighed. The child just had to hug him when she was wearing a wet bathing suit. And this was his best business suit too.
"Where's mom?" Rin asked as she stood up and grabbed a towel off a small table.
"A lunch business meeting, I wasn't invited" Sesshoumaru answered while prying his youngest child off his leg.
Hideki pulled himself out of the water as Rin stood and held out a towel for him, one already wrapped around herself "Strange, you two are partners; you always go to meetings together."
"That's what I said" Sesshoumaru huffed "The owner of the new enterprise called for a meeting with Kagome and only Kagome."
"Well, then how about Hideki makes lunch for everyone?" Rin smiled.
"Why me?" Hideki asked.
"Do you see anyone else around here who is a top chef?" Rin motioned around the room.
"You got a point there" Hideki shrugged "Over four hundred years and you still burn everything you cook." He took his chance while the door was clear and ran out.
Rin sighed and shook her head "He never gives me the chance to help in the first place" looking at Sesshoumaru she gave a light smile "I'll perfect it sooner or later."
Sesshoumaru nodded with a light smile as he walked over to a towel rack and took a towel "I'm sure you will."
"Well you sure seem supportive" Rin laughed "While Hideki is making us something to eat I'll take Nami to her room and help her change."
"I will take care of it" Sesshoumaru said wrapping the towel around the small child then picked her up.
"Alright then" Rin shrugged "How long do you have for lunch?"
"I'm the boss" Sesshoumaru said "As long as I want."
The eldest child laughed and shook her head "You got a point there. Alright then, I'll go see what I can do to help Hideki after I change real quick."
Sesshoumaru looked at Nami as Rin left, the little girl giving him a wide smile "Shall we?"
"Yep" Nami's smile grew.
Yet again Sesshoumaru gave another nod then left the room heading to Nami's. The whole way to her Nami clung to her father looking like the happiest child in the world. Once in the child's room Sesshoumaru set the girl on her bed then proceeded to dry her off. Nami giggled when Sesshoumaru began to dry her hair, shaking her head in the process. After drying her off Sesshoumaru helped Nami out of her bathing suit then wrapped the towel around her again to get the rest of the water off as he moved over to her dresser to find her something to wear. Not knowing what the child really wanted to wear he opted for her new pair of overalls and a light pink t-shirt. After a few more minutes Nami was running down the halls in her stocking feet as Sesshoumaru walked behind her. It seemed like the girl had an unlimited supply of energy, much like Aiden when he was a pup; a trait that had to be from Kagome. Nami pushed open the door to the kitchen and ran inside, Sesshoumaru still not too far behind. Something smelt good from inside the kitchen and he was just as egger as the little girl to find out what it was, though it did smell strangely familiar.
"Grilled cheese and ramen!" Nami's voice confirmed his suspicions.
Sometimes he really did believe that Nami was part Inuyasha with her love for ramen. Sesshoumaru frowned slightly, how long has it been since he has seen Inuyasha? It had to be more than a year. "You make that every time you come here, Hideki."
"Well its Nami's favorite and you know how I like to spoil her" Hideki defended.
"And if I remember it right dad" Rin began as she lifted Nami to a seat at the bar of the counter "You said that you liked grilled cheese and the ramen wasn't that bad."
"Your mother told me to be nice" Sesshoumaru countered.
Hideki chuckled as Rin laughed "My mom happens to be your wife and I know for a fact that you like it because Nami told me that you even asked mom to make it."
"Busted" Hideki chuckled.
Sesshoumaru looked at Nami who was too busy munching oh her ramen to care, the little weasel snitched on him to his own daughter. Oh well, there was nothing he could do now, they knew. "Nami turns on everyone" he sat down next to the little girl as Hideki set down a bowl of ramen for him along with his grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing better then spending lunch with a couple of your kids and a son in law.
