When You Least Expect It
Chapter 4
InuYasha was pacing, growling with his hands in a tight fist while Kikyo sat on the couch watching him. She didn't look happy either,
"How dare she take my sons somewhere without our consent."
He snarled, "If something happens to them-
Before he could say anymore, the front swung up. Haru and Kai ran in laughing, Kagome came chasing after them and wrapping her arms around both of them,
"Got'cha!"
Haru and Kai squirmed in her arms, still laughing until they heard InuYasha cleared his throat. The laughing died and smiles fell. Kagome released the two and stood up straight,
"What's with the angry faces?"
Kikyo shot up out of her seat, arms wide open,
"Haru! Kai! Thank Kami you two are ok!"
She hugged the two. Kai was confused, not hugging his mother back while Haru yanked himself out of his mother's hold. Kagome was confused,
"What's going on?"
Kikyo released Kai and stood up straight,
"Boys, go to your rooms. We have to speak to Kagome."
Kai looked worriedly towards Kagome and Haru just stood there in defiance. Kai started walking towards the stairs,
"Haru, go upstairs now." InuYasha nearly growled.
"Why? Are you going to yell at Kagome? If you are then why should I leave!?"
"Haru, I am your father. You will listen to me, go upstairs NOW!"
"Haru and Kai, go upstairs, I'll be up in a minute," Kagome reassured them with her confident smile.
Kai sluggishly walked up the stairs, while Haru stomped his way up and made sure to slam the door upon his arrival to his room. Kagome started speaking before anyone else had the chance,
"Why do you talk to them in that manner!? They're not slaves, their children and Haru is rebellious but if you spoke to him calmly-"
"Don't you DARE tell me how to raise my children!" InuYasha interrupted.
Kagome glared, "I wouldn't have to if you knew how to do it, who the hell leaves their children alone AND while their asleep! What if there was a fire!? Who would be the responsible one!?"
"You would! I knew you were here and I knew you'd watch them! If anything were to happen at all, it'd be YOU that's responsible!" He shot back.
She raised her voice even more, her hands clamping into a tight fist, "Then why the hell are you so angry? Why are you harassing me about taking them out if you knew I was going to take good care of them, huh!? Did I have to call you and ask you for permission while they stayed with me over the summer!?"
InuYasha was quiet, she'd got him there. Kikyo stepped in to save him and asked,
"Why are you even here Kagome?"
Kagome looked at her half sister, that question took her by surprise and she answered to quickly, "Can I not visit my nephew's?"
"You're lying. You've always been a horrible liar; now why are you here!?"
"I'm here to visit Kai and Haru! I don't have take crap from you two! I'm actually glad I came, the condition those two are in is ridiculous! I promise you, if you two weren't famous, social services would gladly take them off your hands! Is that what you two want?!"
"You bitch!" cursed InuYasha, taking one step towards her. "You make it seem as if we beat our children for no reason or something!"
Kagome yelled at him, outraged, "You might as well! They're only seven years old! You screaming at them when they just want attention from their parents, never telling them you love them, throwing them to Sesshomaru when they've misbehaved when once again they ONLY want your attention! What kind of a father are you!? Wh-"
"I don't have to hear this from a grungy like you!" He snarled, suddenly in her face now. "You know nothing, you are nothing, if you were you wouldn't be here! You'd have your own family and your own children! Is that why you're here!? Because you have no life, you ugly bitch!?"
Kagome looked right into his face, her eyes full of tears now, she looked as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. She pushed past him and ran up the stairs. Once she reached the boys room she realized she had nowhere to go. This was not her home, she couldn't go slamming doors. She sighed, tears now freely falling down her face. She wandered around the second floor for the bathroom until she found it. She walked in and washed her face, taking in deep breaths, 'I have to get my own place, I can't stay here and be humiliated on a daily bases. Stupid, know-it-all director and sell-out half sister.' She calmed herself down, and once her face was clear of tears or any sign that she cried; she walked to Haru and Kai's room. She knocked on the door, expecting no answer.
"Come on in Kagome, we never lock the door."
Kagome walked in and sat down on the floor next to the both of them.
"How did you know it was me Haru?"
"Easy; mommy and daddy never come up here to talk to us when we get upset or they yell at us." Kai answered her without taking his eyes off the floor.
Kagome sighed, she saw how much pain this caused the both of them, they both acted differently to it but it hurt them the same way.
"Well I suppose I better pack up guys, I'm going to get an apartment here so now you guys can visit me all you want!"
Kai looked up from the floor, his eyes suddenly excited,
"Really!? You're going to be around more! So we can see you more than just summers!?"
"Yes," Kagome smiled, "I'm going to be around for your birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and any holiday really."
Kai jumped up and threw his arms around Kagome's neck.
"Thank you so much Kagome!"
Kagome hugged him back, but after a minute they pulled apart.
"So, who's helping me pack?"
Haru looked at her as if she was insane,
"Kagome, you never unpacked!"
Kagome looked at her suitcase in the room and let out a nervous laugh,
"Kind of forgot about that! Okay, well that takes care of that. We, as in, all of us; better go clean the kitchen…it wasn't good to leave it that way in the first place! So boys, let's get our cleaning on... Kagome style!"
Haru grunted, crossing his arms, "I don't want to clean up."
"And I don't want to see Mommy and Daddy." Said Kai under his breath.
Kagome kept her smile, "It won't take us long to clean and afterwards we can watch movies! Would you two like that?"
Haru kept his arms crossed while Kai nodded with a big smile on his face. Kagome kneeled in front of Haru,
"Aw, come on. We can have ice creamm."
He looked into her eyes than sighed, "Fine."
"Yes!" Exclaimed Kai, taking Kagome's hand and leading her out the door, Haru right behind them.
When they got downstairs, InuYasha and Kikyo weren't there. Kagome sighed of relief,
'They're in their room; I really don't want to see either of them right now.'
Once they got into the kitchen, they began cleaning. Kagome clapped her hands together,
"Ok. I'll sweep, Kai you'll wipe the counter tops and Haru you'll wash the dishes. There."
Haru didn't complain, "I'll have them shinier than ever."
Kagome smiled, knowing he wanted to impress her. She rustled his head,
"I know you will. Now let's get to work so we can watch at least two movies before your you two have to be in bed."
Kai and Haru grabbed some stools and started they task. Kagome grabbed the broom and started sweeping up the mess. After half an hour, the kitchen was spotless. Kagome smiled,
"You boys did a very good job!"
Both of them blushed and avoided looking at her. Kagome wanted to squeal and hug them, they were so cute when they did things to make each other look even more alike. She asked,
"So, what should we get for snacks?"
"Popcorn!" Said Kai.
"And ice cream!"
Kagome laughed, "Alright! We'll get both. You two go pick a movie while I get the snacks."
The two ran off, shouting what movies to get. When Kagome got the snacks, Haru and Kai had already started the movie.
"Hey! You didn't wait for me?"
"You were taking too long and we wanted to watch it!" Haru shrugged.
Kagome went over to the couch and sat right between them, putting her arms around their shoulder and bringing them closer to her. It was about an hour into the movie when Kagome heard light snoring; sadly, she had gotten into the kids movie too. She looked down to see that Kai and Haru were both fast asleep next to her, and the one snoring was Kai. She giggled and decided to take them to their bed. She picked Kai up first and carried him upstairs, gently placing him on his bed and tucking him in. She then went back downstairs and repeated the process with Haru.
Once both were in their bed and tucked in, she went and kissed both their foreheads. She smiled, and walked out the door, closing it behind her. She walked back downstairs to clean up the snacks and drinks and stop the movie. She was in deep thought while taking the bowl of popcorn and a cup of melted ice cream into the kitchen. She was in so much thought that she didn't notice the person in front of her and slammed right into their chest, spilling ice cream all over their shirt.
"SHIT! Could you watch where you're going!?"
"Sorry! It was an accident Mr. InuYasha sir!" She said the last part very sarcastically.
"Well now guess who's cleaning my shirt?" He smirked, and took off his shirt.
Kagome saw his well toned chest and great abs, and was shocked. A director with a good figure, you'd think he was a model.
"Ha! I'm not your maid, I'm not doing anything!" Kagome huffed and walked past him into the kitchen.
InuYasha looked back, about to follow her into the kitchen, when he saw her walking, his eyes went down a bit.
'Damn, she has a nice…' InuYasha shook his head, clearing the thought from his mind. 'I've been hanging around Miroku too much!' He followed her into the kitchen and trapped her at the sink.
"Now you can't walk away from me. You're cleaning my shirt, you're the one who got it dirty."
InuYasha's voice was calm, in a kind of seductive way. He was face to face with Kagome. 'She has such full pink lips too… her eyes are so…' subconsciously he started leaning in.
Kagome pushed him away, not noticing how he was getting closer. At that moment Kikyo walked into the kitchen, to find InuYasha extremely close to Kagome.
"What's going on? Why don't you have a shirt on Inu?" Kikyo walked over to InuYasha and put her hands on his chest.
InuYasha shook his head,
'I can't believe I was about to kiss her! Out of all people, her! But hey, she does have sexy lips and a nice a- STOP. Stupid thoughts.'
"InuYasha, are you listening to me!?" Kikyo sounded whinny, he hated when she did that.
"Stupid girl over there spilled ice cream all over my shirt, she's washing it though, so it's whatever, I'll just sleep shirtless." InuYasha shrugged, he was still in a half daze that he almost kissed her.
'Who wouldn't want to kiss her? Those pajama shorts don't do anything to help the temptation…' InuYasha growled out loud, frustrated at his own thoughts.
"What's wrong Inu-poo?" Kikyo asked, her hands still on his chest.
InuYasha pulled away, "I'm going to bed!" He started to walk out of the kitchen but stopped, and threw his shirt at Kagome,
"I don't want it stained."
Kagome snarled at him but smiled tightly, "I'll wash it alright."
He didn't hear that as a threat and continued onto his room. Kagome turned back towards the sink and grinned, stuffing the shirt into the garbage disposal, not paying any attention to Kikyo who stood by the fridge with her arms crossed. She studied Kagome and asked,
"Why did InuYasha have you against the sink?"
"What are you talking about?" Asked Kagome, turning on the water then the switch which made a loud deadly sound and it tore the shirt to shreds.
She frowned, "You know what I'm talking about and of all the close you have, you wear that?"
Kagome turned off the disposal then looked at her. Kikyo walked over to her and glared,
"Let's get one thing straight right now. InuYasha is my husband and Haru and Kai are my sons. Got it?"
She looked confused for a moment before bursting out laughing, "Ha! Ok, ok so you think I'm after your husband? As if! I wouldn't want to be with him even if he was the last man on earth!"
"You can't fool me Kagome. Every girl in Tokyo wants him, what makes you any different?"
"Well for one, I know what he's like behind closed doors. If they knew, do think they'd be all over him?"
Kikyo laughed, "He's rich Kagome! Do you think he'd care?"
"And I suppose that's why you're with him, huh?" Asked Kagome.
Kikyo's hand twitched as if she wanted to slap her but composed herself, "Stay away from my man."
With that said, she pushed past her then went into her room. Kagome scoffed, leaning against the door frame. She could hear Kikyo giggle seductively and the sound of a thump as they, what sounded like, fell on the bed. Kagome shook her head, went upstairs and closed the door to the boys room. She thought angrily,
"They'd actually do that while they're here?"
"Kagome?"
She looked to her let to see Kai looking at her tiredly. Kagome smiled,
"What is it Kai?"
"Will you sleep with me?" He asked.
She smiled, "Sure."
Kagome walked over and climbed under the covers with him. He cuddled into her and she smiled, running her fingers through his hair. Not long after Kai had fallen back to sleep, someone was tapping her on the shoulder. She looked back and saw Haru standing there rubbing his eye tiredly,
"I want to sleep with you too."
"Alright, come on." She said, scooting over with Kai.
Haru climbed in and laid his head on Kagome's back. He was asleep right away. Kagome smiled, kissing Haru's forehead before relaxing and falling asleep herself.
