Chapter 2: Stay
Inuyasha was shocked and did not know what to do. Why is Kagome here?
"I'm sorry for intruding Inuyasha," Kagome said looking down.
"You're not intruding," he said quickly. He looked her over, taking her appearance in fully. She looks broken, so fragile. Much different from the last time I've seen her. He spotted a suitcase next to her.
"I just gonna go. I'm sorry for bothering you." Picking up her suitcase, Kagome began walking away, but Inuyasha stopped her.
"Why are you here?"
"I…" she finally looked up at him. Her once sparkling eyes were now dull. There was no life in them anymore. "I have no where to go." tears welled up in her eye. "I didn't know who else to turn to. You were the first person I thought of."
"Kagome, you're welcomed to stay with me."
"But-"
"Daddy, can we go in now," Keitaro said with Keiko following closely behind. Turning Inuyasha walked over to them. Keiko rubbed her eyes as he picked her up.
"Inuyasha, I didn't know you had kids," Kagome said looking at them.
"Yep, they're my pups." he kissed the top of Keiko's head.
"Daddy how's that?" asked Keitaro.
"This is a friend of mines. She's gonna be staying with us for awhile." smiling he walked up to the front door, unlocked it and opened the door. Kagome followed quietly behind. "I'll be right back."
"Okay," closing the door, she sat her bag down and sat on the couch. Ten minutes later, Inuyasha returned. "I don't want to intrude on your wife and kids."
"No wife, Kikyo and I just didn't work out."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's okay," Inuyasha sat next to her. "What happened with you and Koga?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"You don't have to."
She was quiet for awhile before speaking. "Koga and I just didn't fit together as I thought. I couldn't take it anymore so I left before thinking."
Inuyasha decided not to press forward. "Well, as I said before, you are welcomed here."
"Thank you Inuyasha." she smiled at him.
"No problem. Let me show you to your room. You look tired."
"Okay," grabbing her suitcase, Inuyasha took Kagome upstairs.
He stopped at the room down the hall and opened the room door. "I hope this room is okay for you."
"Yes thank you," walking in he sat her suitcase in front of the bed.
"If you need anything, just let me know."
"I will," he walked to the door. "Inuyasha, thank you again."
"No problem," once he left, Kagome sat on the bed sighing. She hadn't expected for Inuyasha to let her stay. She was so sure that he would send her away, but he didn't.
Why didn't he send me away. she smiled, glad that she still had someone to come to. Yawning, she got ready for bed. I'll show him how thankful I am of him. She drifted off into a blissful sleep.

Inuyasha sat on his bed. He could not stop thinking about what his mother said. Maybe it's just a coincidence that Kagome showed up know now. But for some reason, Inuyasha was not at all convinced. It just felt to strange for Kagome to come at the right moment. Maybe the Fates are finally answering my prayers. Going to bed he dreamt of the next couple of days with Kagome staying. His only concern was if his pups would like her.

Inuyasha woke up to the smell of breakfast. Confused and dazed, he made his way to the kitchen and found Kagome over the stove. She turned and smiled at him. "Good morning Inuyasha."
"Good morning."
"I thought I'd make breakfast for you and your pups."
"Um… thanks." Just than, his pups ran down to greet them. "Hey you two." Inuyasha bent over and picked up Keiko.
"Mornin' daddy," she said.
"Something smells good," Keitaro said sniffing the air.
"That would be breakfast. I bet you two are hungry." Kagome said walking over to the little. Keitaro and Keiko nodded eagerly. "Well, have a seat. I hope you guys like blueberry pancakes."
"Yea!" placing Keiko down, he followed them to the dinning room and sat at the table.
"Okay, breakfast will be ready in ten minutes."
"How about I help you."
"Okay," Inuyasha got up and disappeared into the kitchen.
"Keiko, what do you think of daddy's friend? She's pretty right?" asked Keitaro.
Keiko nodded. "She looks like mommy doesn't she?" Keiko asked.
"No, she looks prettier than mommy and she smells nice too."
"Do you think she can be are new mommy?"
"I hope so, I like her a lot."
"Me too," this was the first time the twins were interested in any of their father's lady friends. Especially, Keiko, she was so scared that one of them would take him away from them. But with Kagome, it was a different story. Keiko felt like she could trust her.
I wonder if she would play with me?
Inuyasha and Kagome walked in with plates of food. "Breakfast is ready." Inuyasha said placing a plate in front of them. Keiko and Keitaro smiled and dug in, making a silent promise to have Kagome live with them for good.
