Mantineus-I know I still have to update "Aristocratic Pedophile", but I thought of this as being my FIRST SUMMER VACATION FIC!! I'll be updating AP later. (I really hate how this site makes my paragraphs into two lines, but oh well).

Disclaimer-I don't own Inuyasha…if I did Inuyasha and Souta would be &( and &#!# (I wonder if the audience knows I'm just pressing buttons)?

Souta-three months

Kagome-5 years

Inuyasha-5 years

Souta laid in his brown wood finished crib, down for his morning nap. His blue room had wallpaper graced with little sheep running through the field smiling and facing the baby. A mobile with shooting stars circled over the three month old.

"What's taking you so long, Kagome?" A five year old voice shouted. "We'll be late for preschool."

Souta cried out, begging for his mother to stop the noise that threatened his slumber.

"Now look what you did," Kagome shouted, bopping Inuyasha on his head.

"Ow!" He shouted back. "What was that for?"

"That's it you two," It was Souta's mother who shooed them both downstairs.

"But mo-om!" Kagome pleaded. "We need a ride."

"I'll be down soon, just wait a minute, honny." She pushed her gently, hoping her daughter would get the hint.

Kagome walked down the steps, Inuyasha running in front of her. They both sat down on the couch, swinging their legs as they waited.

Souta was picked up by his mother, she swayed him side-to-side. But he still cried. So she did an old trick, she began walking. She walked down the stairs, hoping the bouncing would make him sleepy. But alas, Souta was still crying.

She walked into the living room where her impatient daughter and her hanyou friend were waiting.(1) She gently sat down in the rocking chair and pushed with her knees, making the chair gently rock.

Souta calmed down a little, and, turning his head around, he noticed the boy. He was tall, but not as tall as his mother, and he wore a red shirt and shorts, his skin was slightly tanned, but his eyes were focused on the two ears that were on top of the boy's head.

Souta twisted and wriggled until his little body was turned, facing the boy. His arms out-stretched, his fingers opening and closing, trying to grasp the boy with the ears he wanted. But, noticing that his efforts were in vain, he cried.

"Whu-?" His mother said, looking at where her son was facing, she calmed herself down.

"Inuyasha," She said.

"Yes," He said, breaking his gaze from the crying baby.

"I think he wants you." She said. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Uh…sure, Ms. Higurashi." He said.

"What?" Kagome shouted. "You never let me hold him!"

She smiled down at her pouting daughter as she stood up, holding her son and said. "This is a special case, Kagome. He's crying for Inuyasha."

This made Kagome pout and mumble "but he's my little brother" while Inuyasha a triumphantly smirked. He was never given a chance to hold a baby before

"Hold him like this," She instructed as she gave Souta to Inuyasha.

He complied, supporting his head, the baby was cradeled in his little arms.

"Good." She said.

But Souta squirmed, rolled on his belly in Inuyasha's lap, and climbed up Inuyasha's chest until he could grab the ears. He grabbed onto one and gave a tug, causing Inuyasha to shout in pain. He giggled as he did it again and again.

Inuyasha grabbed him by the sides and lifted him as high as his five year od arms would allow. Once Souta's fingers were off of his ear, he lowered him in a sitting position in his lap, ignoring both Kagome's and her mother's laughter.

Souta was giggling, waving his hands in random, baby motions and said. "Yasha, ine."

Souta giggled more and chanted "Yasha, ine! Yasha, ine!"

"Mommy," Kagome said. "Was that his first words?"

"I'm not sure," She said. "It's nothing I've ever heard him say before."

"Yasha, ine!" He said, this time bouncing on the hanyou's lap. His brown eyes never leaving the gold orbs of the boy with the funny ears.

Souta yawned, causing his mother to come back and pick him up. Souta "nn"-ed, his signal that he didn't want anyone to pick him up.

"I'll put him to bed," Inuyasha said. "If that's okay with you, Ms. Higurashi."

She smiled. "Sure, but I'll help you put him back into the crib."

"'Kay," He said.

He had one hand under the baby's butt, his other hand on his back, keeping him from falling backwards. Both he and Souta's mother walked up the steps. Souta yawned again.

It was not until they reached his room where he woke up again.

"Nnnn!" He protested.

"Come on, honny." She cooed. "Inuyasha has to go to preschool. He'll be back."

"Nnnnn!" Was Souta's reply as he clung tighter to the boy. "Yasha, Ine!"

"I'll be back, Souta." Inuyasha said soothingly, a trick he picked up watching Ms. Higurashi.

But the baby only clung tighter. So Inuyasha gently grabbed Souta's sides and gently pulled him off. Souta cried, his fingers flexing, trying to cling back onto Inuyasha.

Souta was lain gently down into his crib once more. His fingers trying to grab onto anything above him, his legs kicking. His face reddened, tears streamed down his eyes, as blood curdling baby screams escaped from his mouth.

"Grandpa's out in the shed," She said. "I'll tell him to watch him while I'm gone."

"Okay." Inuyasha said.

He did feel a little worried about Souta, but with that, he felt better.

"Come on," She said. "Let's go to preschool."
