Aaaaannnnnddddd… It's the next chapter! Oh, by the way I still don't own Inuyasha or Naruto but I have some lawyers (legit or not I don't know) looking into the matter. So maybe one of these days I will? No probably not. Ive had pairing requests from a few of you and they have all been different. One for each; Inuyasha, Sauske, Shika-chan, Kakashi ( I could work this despite the age difference, I have my ways) and so far that's it. I wonder I wonder…What am I going to do?

Anywho, here is the next piece of the puzzle, enjoy!

With shaking arms a father held his new baby girl. She was beautiful, a little tuff of black hair at the top of her head, and bright blue eyes already open. She had a strong healthy cry and a tight grip.

"Hey there sweetheart… You're not supposed to have your eyes open silly. Silly girl, my silly little girl." The child looked up at him still crying and in her eyes he swore he saw a light. It startled him and he looked over to his wife who turned out was still pregnant. The doctor was standing by her bed explaining in detail what was going on. When the doctor walked away Tsume was left looking distinctly frustrated. "Come and be a good girl, cheer up your mother. Okay?" he whispered and handed the girl to her mother. Tsume's face instantly relaxed.

"She's beautiful…" she sighed. "And look her eyes are open! What a gorgeous blue… pink?" Both parents stopped. The pink faded from her eyes only to reappear somewhere else on her body covered by the blanket. Shocked parents and elders looked on as the light vanished as quickly as it had come along with its soothing aura. A silence filled the room besides the child's crying as those present tried to comprehend what they had seen.

A male voice broke the silence.

"Kagome." It said. Tsume looked at her husband in confusion. "I want to name her Kagome." He repeated. Tsume gave a tired smile and nodded.

"Hear that? Your name is Kagome. Welcome to the family Kagome. Let's hope your little brother or sister hurries into the world as well."

There were many discussions held with the elders before the couple was given a few minutes alone. Kagome slept peacefully while her parents spoke.

"Tsume, the doctor hasn't told me what is happening yet." He said while rubbing her still pregnant belly.

"Ah, he said it is something not unusual with twins. A delayed interval something. It means this second little guy won't be here for another few days, or maybe a couple weeks. If it takes that long they will induce labour."

"But so shortly after giving birth, you will have just started to heal!"

"Don't worry! I'll be fine, it happens to a lot of woman. I'm not some delicate flower, If anything I'm a weed. Both our children and I will be fine. I promise." He smiled and interlaced her fingers with his. She was right after all. Tsume had never gone down without a fight before, why would this be any different? Blissfully happy he looked at his new born child Kagome. Her bright blue eyes looked drowsy as they slowly opened and closed. However the bright clouds of bliss soon tinted darker as doubt began to form.

"Hey Tsume, I wonder why her eyes are blue?"

It had been a year since her no good ex-husband had accused her of cheating and ran off, a year since Kagome was born and only a week more before Kiba's birthday as well. Tsume had long ago decided to celebrate the twin's birthdays together on Kiba's birthday instead of Kagome's. As far as Kagome would ever be concerned her birthday really was the same as Kiba's. It wold just make life simpler for both of them.

Tsume watched with strained eyes as Kagome played with Kuromaru's tail. Was she a horrible person for feeling so depressed on her daughter's birthday? She took another drink from the bottle of sake. The pleasant burn in her throat was enough to take her mind off of it for the moment. Damn that bastard for ruining a perfectly good day.

"Shtuped son of a birtch…" she slurred. Kuromaru looked up at his mistress with pained eyes but could do nothing more than lead her to bed. Hana would have to watch the children tonight. Hopefully she would be home from the academy soon. There was only so much tail pulling a dog could handle.

Lucky little Kagome was totally unaware of how her mother was acting. She was just happy to be playing with Maru-Maru. His tail was fluffly and soft, and giant from her point of view. She bet Kiba would like it too, but he was still sleeping. She would just have to enjoy the enormous wagging pile of fluff herself! That is until Maru-Maru walked away with her mother in toe. Now what was she supposed to do?

Kagome wandered into the living room intent on finding a toy to play with only to be distracted by Dora the Explorer. She tried to resist, oh how she tried, but the colorful pull of the TV and the fun songs caught her attention and before she knew it she had been watching the show until Hana came home.

"Han-chan! I missed you, will you play with me?" Asked the eager Kagome, Hana smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Of course Kagome, but where is Kiba?" she asked. Normally the twins were attached at the hip. It was unusual to see one without the other. Kagome's eyes widened as well as her little mouth. She had forgotten about Kiba! It was all Dora's fault!

"He's still sleeping!" she exclaimed and ran-hobbled towards their room. Sure enough Kiba was still in bed but he was not asleep. He was standing up trying to find a way out of his crib. Seeing Kagome he gave her a flat stare.

"I stuck." Was all he said figuring it was enough to explain the situation. Hana walked into the room shortly after and Kiba's expression brightened. "Up! Up!" he said holding his short arms above his head. Maybe if he was cute enough his sister would let him out of here so he could run around and explore.

Big brown eyes threatened to water when his older sister took too long, the overall effect was both adorable and fearsome. On one hand he looked cute, on the other hand if he cried Hana was going to kill herself. Kiba's cries were loud and forceful and demanded instant attention lest one wishes to lose their ability to hear.

"Yes, yes, Kiba-chan! Come here, now why don't you and Kagome go play?" Both children took off with torrid excitement leaving Hana alone in the dark room. Standing straight she crossed her arms over her chest and looked towards the closed window with half lidded eyes and sighed. Just where was her mother? The clicking sound of Kuromaru's nails on the wooden floors as he padded down the hall towards the door caught her stared at each other for a moment and something in the look on Kuromaru's face unsettled the adolescent kunoichi. Kuromaru motioned with his head for Hana to follow him. Uneasily she walked behind him and towards the kitchen. Sitting abandoned on the table were two empty bottles sake and a third with about a quarter left. Three seconds was all it took for her to take action.

Hana burst into her mother's room and slammed the door hard enough for it bounce back open. To say she was angry was an understatement. She had never felt this level of anger towards anyone before let alone her mother. Seeing her mother as a drunken whimpering mess disgusted her. Where was the strong proud loud spoken kunoichi with a very odd sense of humor? Where was the wild fun loving woman who always livened up the village with her infectious energy? Where was her mother?

Kiba and Kagome played outside blissfully unaware of the argument raging between Hana and their drunken mother. Kuromaru eventually snuck outside to escape the noise and watch the children. Older Inuzuka members who had developed their keen hearing strayed as far away from Tsume's home within the complex as they could. Apparently quiet Hana surpassed even her mother in terror and volume when she was angry. By a lot.

"Look at yourself! You're a mess! This is ridiculous! I mean, I can't imagine how hard it was for you to have your husband leave you with two new born babe's and I sympathise with you for that, but only to a point! This is way beyond it! Kiba was in his crib all day and Kagome was doing god knows what while you sat there and drank! Kagome shouldn't be seeing that sort of thing, neither of them should! I know you, you are better than this, stronger than this! You have to be! For them! For me! Because if you can't be strong then how can I? I know you lost your husband but I lost my dad. He abandoned me by packing his bags and leaving, you can't abandon me too. If you do I don't know what I will do… So shape up god damn it! Dad isn't worth this, If he was stupid enough to tuck tail and run away from the best thing that had ever happened to him without thinking things through then that's his problem, not yours and not mine. We will be fine without him but only if we have you! Damn it, don't you get that?! Can't you see how much you are going to hurt us all by becoming like this? I never want to see you like this again… Never. If I do I'm taking Kiba and Kagome and leaving the compound. Now drink some water and go to sleep. I don't want to talk to you right now."

"Hana…" her mother started but Hana cut her off.

"Goodnight Mother!" she hissed before none to gently closing the door. She had better things to do than keep yelling at her drunk mom.

Two hours after the whole thing started Tsume was officially passed out and Hana was exhausted herself from such an angry outburst. Knowing that a rest wasn't going to happen anytime soon only aggravated her more. Kagome and Kiba still needed to be fed and bathed, and there was no way Kiba was going to go to bed until later into the night. He had been in his crib all day after all. Yes it was going to be a very long night. She could only imagine tomorrow.

"Han-chan! Come build a sand castle with us!" Hana smiled, her cute little brother and sister were definitely worth the trouble.

Ugh! Another filler chapter! I know! I'm sorry but I thought it was the best way to develop Tsume and Hana, along with a brief introduction to the inner workings of the Inuzuka clan. Plus I really needed a ranting session about mothers, since I can't/ won't yell at my mother like that. Bad day what can I say?

Anyways bye for now I'll try to have the next chapter up quicker!
