Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

Summary: When Sesshoumaru mated Kagome, he had known his life would be miserable, but he never imagined this.

Inuyasha was very familiar with fear, had lived with it every day of their quest, but he had never feared for himself, not really, until this moment.

Golden eyes surveyed the scene with obvious horror and his clawed hands trembled slightly in anticipation, knowing that any second the pack of nightmares would notice him and he would be over-powered.

The scent of his fear soon betrayed him and five pairs of blue eyes swiveled his way, predatory grins breaking across their demonic features.

United, they screamed a single phrase as they leaped toward him:

"Uncle Yash!"

"Get off of me you runts!" He demanded gruffly, but his protests went unheeded as they revealed their evil intentions.

"I want to do his hair!" One claimed triumphantly.

"Me too, me too!"

"I'm going to paint his claws!"

"If you get claws, I want the make-up…," another pouted.

"While you do that, I'll pick out a kimono!"

He could only sit in silent horror as they forced a make-over on him. After many tortuous hours and some embarrassing pictures, they finally tired themselves out to the point where he could slip away.

He was still picking glitter out of his hair when he heard a smug voice behind him.

"Problems, Inuyasha?"

"You! This is your fault!" he roared accusingly.

He whirled around to face his smirking brother, claws ready to attack, when the littlest stumbled over with a photo in her chubby fingers.

"Daddy, wook!"

Inuyasha changed direction, trying to snatch it away, but Sesshoumaru was faster and chuckled sadistically when he saw the contents. The tables turned quickly when she continued.

"He's not as pwetty as you were, Daddy."

My first entry for the Weekly Perfection! The shortened version won first place for Prompt #184- Fault! This is the extended version, ending with 277 words.

Can be seen as an epilogue of sorts to Je Veux te Voir or Ce Jeu since I mentioned Inuyasha baby-sitting for Sesshoumaru and Kagome in both.
