Summary: What you didn't know was Souta has a camera. What happens when our favourite couple watches the non-stop video on accident? Kagome is 18 and Inuyasha is…well, however old Inuyasha is. Series of shorts…kinda.

The Little Things.

Press play.

Deft fingers slipped a blank looking videotape into the VCR.

The old machine made a whirring noise for a couple seconds as a female voice spoke from a little ways away. "I think this might be it Inuyasha." A couch creaked gently as someone sat down on it. "If it's not, then we'll just take it back out and search for it again, okay?"

Someone on the cushions shifted and a deep masculine voice mumbled, "Keh, I don't even know why we have to watch the dumb mm…mm…mooffie…whatever, anyway." The rustle of clothing was heard along with a snort.

"But Lassie's a…it's just a classic, Inuyasha!" The woman's tone sounded frustrated, as if they'd had this particular conversation before.

There was a pause and for a while the only noise was the soft hum of the VCR.

"Keh!"

A quiet but defeated sigh penetrated the air. "Fine." The feminine voice whispered. The couch groaned as a person got up from their position.

Muffled footsteps made their way over to the video player but stopped abruptly at the male's intelligent grunt, "Wait. Kagome, it's…it's okay. If you really-" He cleared his throat, "Just sit back down, wench. I think it's starting."

A faint "'kay" was heard before the screen on the TV set produced a scratching noise and faded from it's black and white fuzz to black.

The VCR clicked, and the play button lit up.

The camera's panning was wobbly. A bright kitchen scene eventually came into focus and the viewers had to strain their ears to hear the light call, "Mama! How am I sure if it's recording?"

Kagome reached for the remote and jammed down the pause button. "Well, this is obviously not it. This is just one of Souta's stupid home-made videos." The woman sighed, but before she could get up to eject it, a clawed hand stopped her.

The man, more like hanyou, beside her coughed at the expression she gave him and nodded toward the screen. "Keh, don't be so impatient. Maybe it'll be something worth watching." The slightest blush dusted his features. Letting go of the female's hand on the remote, as if the miko's skin was on fire, he kept his eyes trained on the moving picture box.

Kagome slowly lowered her finger to "unpause" the homemade film while giving the half demon a curious look. Finally, the TV had their attention.

Souta's camera whipped around to a lovely spring view of the front door. His voice was suddenly heard from behind the camera. "Never mind! I think I got it to work!" He called. The screen seemed to jiggle lightly as he walked over to the window and get a show of the outside. A clunk rattled the device as it was set down on the sill.

The well house was in view. Startling both of the spectators, the small door to the well was kicked open in a fury, and a figure clad in red could be seen trudging up to the shrine house with a bundle in his arms. There was a soft yell in the background, "Hey, Mom! Inuyasha and Kagome are home!"

"Is that me?" Kagome's whisper sliced at the deafening silence as they watched the film proceed.

"Keh, you were tired," was the gruff reply.

The video played on.

Meanwhile, Souta had picked up the camera and stretched out a hand to the doorknob. But before the boy could open it, the wooden frame was treated with the same gentleness as the well house door. Souta stumbled backwards with the camera and managed to keep it recording the hanyou as he sped past Kagome's younger brother, bellowing, "Watch it, runt! It you want something useful to do, help me with Kagome!"

Without setting the recording device down, there was a joyful, "okay!" as Souta ran up the stairs. Soon, the camera arrived at a shaky stop when the miko's room came into view. Inuyasha stood impatiently with the girl safely tucked in his arms and his haori around her small figure.

"I don't have all day." The half demon grumbled as his golden orbs flicked down to the young priestess.

"What happened?" The camera was set down in a clunk, still recording with a view of the room, as the boyish voice moved from behind the hand-held appliance.

The camera showed Souta pulling back the sheets and Inuyasha tenderly placing Kagome on the bed. "Keh. The stubborn wench decided not to go to sleep last night to study for one of those stupid 'test' things." The man didn't lift his eyes but continued to gaze gently at the woman beside him. "Scared me out of my wits this morning when she passed out after a battle." He set his jaw tensely and his mouth in a hard line.

The miko's brother shifted and picked up the camera again. "Well, dinner will be ready in an hour." He informed the hanyou as the camera displayed the view of the doorway. Shuffling was heard as Souta swung the device around to film the room again. "You wanna play some video games while you're waiting?"

The room was silent for a moment and then the demon shifted, untying his sword from his side. Setting it down next to the wall, he sighed and looked up at the boy with the faintest of smiles. "Nah, you go and play. I'm gonna stay here."

Souta lingered for a minute to almost purposely record the hanyou as he took a seat, leaning against the bed.

The screen faded to black.

First chapter. End.
