Concept – "Math"

A week after the incident, Kagome couldn't find it in her heart to explain to her small child the meaning behind what had happened in their bedroom. The poor woman couldn't even find it in her self to look the little girl in her eyes without feeling an oncoming blush rise within her cheeks. She was too embarrassed, the fact that their five year old daughter had walked in on them during an intimate time of the night was too much for the petite mother to handle, and so, she just settled for letting the child be.

"You know you can't avoid the situation for too long." Her cousin stated causing the uneasiness within her stomach to double.

"I know, but it was so embarrassing Kikyo. We didn't even notice her there until Sesshomaru caught a whiff of her scent by the door AFTER we were done." Kagome explained further, the older of the two nodded her head in understanding before staring at the road before her.

"Well, why not have the 'talk' with her already? She is intelligent for her age so I think it would be better than having her find out on her own." Kikyo finally replied as they pulled up to the small elementary school. Kagome sucked in a deep breath before nodding her head and thanking her cousin for the ride.

"Heyyy mommy!" She heard her daughter call out as she bounced along the sidewalk towards their little blue car.

"Hello sweetheart…" She greeted before taking the child's stuff and settling her in the back seat.

"How was school baby?" Kagome questioned as calmly as she could before taking to the road.

"We learned addition today mommy and tomorrow we're going to learn subtraction!" The little girl explained merrily as she looked out the window and hummed a song. After a few minutes went by she turned towards her mother. "I have homework today mommy! Ms. Amaya said to practice my addition."

"Okay sweetheart, we'll go home so you can study your addition….and honey, your father and I would like to have a talk with you." Kagome replied before turning in to the gated community they currently resided in.

"Addition, addition…" Kimiko hummed to her self as she unbuckled her self and grabbed her back pack.

"Hey squirt!" Her older brother greeted as she ran towards him. With a quick thrust of her small legs she pounced on him and wrapped an arm around his neck as she began to chatter away about her day. The older male chuckled before taking the small little girl in to the house. Kagome smiled at the closeness between her eldest son and youngest daughter.

"'Sup mom!" Her second eldest greeted as he pulled up behind her and got out. She turned around and threw the teenager a smile before receiving a kiss on the cheek and walking inside.

[Later that evening]

Kagome settled beside her mate as and watched her children lay about the family room lazily with one another. She watched as her two eldest sons played chest, than turning her eyes to the left she smiled as she saw her two nine month old twins clap as their two other older brothers played with them as well, her only daughter sat at their feet concentrating hard on her addition. A sigh of contentment passed through her lips as she cuddled in to Sesshomaru's chest and dove in to one of her romance novels.

Now, he was never a man that imagined a life filled with children and a loving wife, in fact he was never a man that expected a wife to begin with. But at that very moment as he turned his golden gaze around the room before him, he couldn't help but feel the budding seed of happiness and contentment sprouting within his usually vacant heart. It truly was a very ironic situation he had been dealt, the once proud and fearless lord of the western regions who once vowed to never love nor have children, half-breeds in fact, was now sitting here, and was now a proud father of six boys and one girl, who were for the most part half breeds indeed.

"Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven…Three plus five that son of a bitch is eight….three plus six that son of a bitch is nine…." His eyes began to flash a soft pink as he stared down at his innocent young daughter. A growl signaled his irritancy as his sons looked up at the sound their father emitted. Kagome sat up and stared at him for a while before putting a hand over his.

"What's wrong?" She questioned as she looked around the room frantically. The smiles on her sons faces confused her more as she turned back to look up at her husband. The sound of her daughter's voice caused her to stray her eyes away from her husband as she leaned her closer in more.

"Five plus five that son of a bitch is ten….six plus five that son of a bitch is eleven…" Her eyes widened as she continued to stare at her precious little daughter.

"Kimiko, what are you doing? Kagome questioned her daughter. Sesshomaru continued to growl as he stared at the little girl. After a few more muttered cuss words the impressionable child looked up and stared at her parents. An instant spike of fear could be felt through her small being as she saw the look in her father's eyes.

"I'm doing my addition mommy." She answered meekly.

"And is that how your teacher taught it?" Sesshomaru growled out further intimidating the child. The scent of salt could be found lingering around the room as the little girl got up and ran towards her older brothers.

"Yes mommy, daddy that's how my teacher taught it to me….I'm sorry for learning!" She cried out as she buried her face in to Sasuke's chest. The older male began to rub circles on her back before sending his own growl towards his superior. Sesshomaru returned the growl with full force before barking a command that only his children could understand. Sasuke narrowed his eyes but stood down as he continued to comfort his ailing sister.

"Sesshomaru calm down." Kagome stated as she put a hand over his. He growled out once more before leaning back against the couch and closing his eyes.

"Kimiko, I will speak to you teacher tomorrow….it's getting kind of late so why don't we all bunk down." She ordered before signaling for all her children to go. Once they were gone she turned towards her mate and tried her best to calm him down.

"Sesshomaru that was a bit too much don't you think?" She questioned in a soft voice. He replied by pinching the bridge of his nose and opening his eyes.

"You will speak to her teacher." He commanded in a strict tone before getting up and walking towards his study. Kagome let out a sigh before following after him.

'Is it too much to ask for ONE peaceful night as a family?' She questioned her self.

[The next day]

Kagome went on with her morning duties and prepared breakfast with the help of the maids in the house. Everything went back to normal as she watched her children chatter about and scarf down their food. Sesshomaru was a bit more calm as he read the newspaper and sipped his coffee. All in all she was content for the most part.

"Okay kids let's go, let's go, let's go! Sasuke you're dropping the twins off at daycare, Shiko you're going to drop Seiji and Shiro off at their school while I drop Kimiko off and talk with her teacher. I expect all of you home by the designated time that means you Shiko, unless you phone me AHEAD of time and let me know. We're having Oden and mushroom soup for dinner." She announced as she cleaned off the twin's faces and placed them in their carriage.

"Bye mom." Sasuke called out as he grabbed his keys and younger siblings. Shiko was up next as he bid his mother goodbye and ruffled the hairs on his younger brother's heads. Sesshomaru kissed her farewell afterwards before patting Kimiko on the head and grabbing his briefcase. Kagome took in a deep breath before turning towards her only daughter.

"Okay sweetheart are you ready?" She questioned before gathering up the dirty dishes and plopping them in the sink.

"Yes mommy!" She stated in a chipper voice before grabbing her back pack.

"I'll take care of the dishes my lady." One of the maids stated. Kagome smiled at the older woman before grabbing her purse and keys. She waited a couple minutes before turning to see her daughter bounding down the steps with her backpack on and lunchbox in hand. Within five minutes they were on their way to the school where Kagome would have a good parent teacher meeting.

[At the school]

Kagome walked through the doors just as the middle aged woman stacked up some new books on the shelf. Turning around she greeted the young girl with a smile and a wave before turning towards Kagome.

"Well, good morning it's a pleasure seeing you." The older woman greeted as she wiped her hands clean. Kagome forced a smile to grace her face before clearing her throat.

"Kimiko, baby, please go outside for a minute while I talk to Ms. Amaya." Kagome commanded calmly. The child simply nodded her head and skipped away making sure to close the door behind her. When Kagome felt her daughter a safe distance away she turned her attention towards the teacher before her.

"Problems Mrs. Taisho?" The older woman questioned as she adjusted her eyeglasses.

"Ms. Amaya, as a mother, I just want to make sure that she is getting the BEST education ever. But my concern is that she's not getting it here and…"

"What do you mean Mrs. Taisho? We are one of the top schools in Tokyo, I assure you your daughter is getting the best education there is in the country." The older woman replied with a bit of an edge on her tone. Kagome took the tone as a bit disrespectful.

"Well, if it's such a great school I don't see why you teach your students such drastic methods such as cussing in order for them to understand the material you are trying to teach. I was assured when I registered my children here that they would be given a proper education and what do we get instead? A daughter that is learning cuss words when she should be learning basic math, so please don't get that…." Kagome couldn't even finish as she stared at the confused look on the woman's face.

"Mrs. Taisho I have a foreboding feeling that there has been a great misunderstanding here. Would you please explain to me what you mean to say when you stated that I taught your child how to use profanity?"

"What ARE you teaching my kid in math?" Kagome questioned suspiciously as she eyed the woman up and down.

"Currently we are on the basis of teaching the children addition." Kagome pushed back the need to snort as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"And how are you teaching them? Are you teaching them to say two plus two that son of a bitch to four?" Kagome questioned. After a few moments of silence the older woman before her began to laugh to the point of tears causing Kagome's irritancy and impatience to grow.

"What's so funny?" She snapped after a whole ten minutes went by. The bell around the school began to sound off signaling the start of the day as Ms. Amaya wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Mrs. Taisho what I taught them was that two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, was four." The teacher replied as she straightened her self out. Kagome's mouth formed in to an 'O' as she realized the misunderstanding. After several apologies and a phone call to her cousin she left her daughter at school and drove back home, a blush currently resounding on her face at the thought of her mistake.

A/N: hahahahaha I thought the joke was funny when I first heard it so I decided to incorporate it in here somehow.
