Chapter 5: Halloween
It's now been two months now with Emari and Shippo, and to Inuyasha and Kagome having to watch two kids didn't really change them, after the first few weeks thing went in to a rhythm a round the house with watching the kids. And as for school nothing drastic has changed for them except for most of the mothers with sleep depravation.
"Okay Shippo I need you to sit right here for me." Mrs. Higurashi said put four large pumpkins on the kitchen table.
"What are we going to do with these?" he asked leaning form his chair.
"Do you want to make Jackal Lanterns?"
"Yes"
"Okay that what we're going to do." grabbing the trash can, a spoon, a knife and some candles.
"I wanna help take out the seeds." he said grabbing for his spoon.
Giggling "Alright let me cut it open first, but keep the seeds." she said cutting open the top of the pumpkin.
"Why do you want me to keep the seeds?" he asked as he held out a spoon full of pumpkin seed.
"So later we can make a snake out of them." she answered.
"I'm home." came a voice from the door.
"Okaa you're back!" Shippo said running out the kitchen to meet Kagome.
"Shh Shippo, Emari is still sleeping." she said taking the baby out her car seat and putting her in her swinger, (witch Mrs. H got for Emari about a month she came) and setting the timer on the side of it.
"Oh, sorry." he said in hush voice with his hands over his mouth.
"So what have you been up to today with out me?" she asked as they headed towards the kitchen.
"Me and obaa-san were about to start making some Jackal Lanners when you came in." hopping back into his seat.
"Sooo, can I help?" she asked picking up a spoon and a knife.
"Of course you can." he said as he began digging into the pumpkin he had started on earlier.
She giggled and dug into to pumpkin as well. But as they started on the third pumpkin a cry came from the living room.
But before Kagome could get up to get Emari Shippo bolts out the room. Coming up to the swinger the baby Shippo sees that the baby has stopped crying, but to see the person approaching her is not Kagome Emari stars crying again.
"Wwwwwwaaaaaa!"
Coming in to the room Kagome takes Emari out of the swinger seeing if that would stop her cry, but no chance.
"Sound likes someone's hungry." she says.
So she grabs a blanket and finds a place to sit draping the blanket over her and proceed in feeding her. Now with Kagome handling the situation with Emari Shippo runs back into the kitchen to finish his pumpkin.
"Man I can't wait to go 'trick or treating." Shippo said cutting out a scary face for his pumpkin.
"So what are you wearing then mister?" Mrs. Higurashi asked cleaning off his hands and the area covered in pumpkin insides.
"I don't know yet but as soon as Inuyasha takes me to the mall I'll fine something cool." he said jumping out his seat and going into the living room.
"What are you going to be wearing?" he came to sit next to Kagome.
"I think… I'll dress up like a…" she thought for a sec "…never mine you'll find out when we go to the mall later." she teased
"No fair." he pouted.
"Wait, are you go get a costume for Emari?"
"Like I said you'll find out when we go to the mall." getting up, putting Emari back in the swinger.
"How come you won't tell me?" he wines, sliding down to the floor.
"Because." was all she said as she went into the kitchen. Shippo pouted a little before getting over it and retreated into the kitchen.
In the kitchen Mrs. Higurashi is just finishing cleaning the seed off in order to make the snack.
"How are we sapose to make a snack out of the seeds?" Shippo asked climbing into his chair.
"First we start off by cleaning off the seeds. Like I just did, then we start up the oven."
"Why do we need the oven?"
"Because we need the oven to bake the seeds."
"Why do we need to bake to the seeds?"
"That's how we cook them."
"Oh, then what's next?"
"Then we lay the seed on an oven tray; spread them all over the tray, after that we get this seasoning and put it all over the seeds."
"What kind of stuff is that?"
"Ah, this is barbeque seasoning." she said looking at the label on the container.
"Now we put them in the oven." picking up the trays and putting them in the oven.
"How long do they have to be in there?" he asked coming to stand next to the oven.
"For about ten, fifteen minute tops." she answered as they retired into the living room.
"When is Inuyasha coming over?" Shippo asked looking back and forth from Kagome to the door.
"He'll be here at any time, so stop looking at the door like that." Kagome said eating a hand full of pumpkin seeds.
"Staring won't get him here any faster."
"Fine." he said joining her on the couch. But as soon as he sits down to eat, there's a knock at the door.
"I'll –"
"I got it." Shippo said running to the door before Kagome.
"Sorry I'm late practice ran late, and I had to pick up someone." Inuyasha apologizes as he enters the house with someone behind him.
"Who'd you have to pick up?" Shippo easily forgave him, but wanted to know who he had to pick up.
"So they actually let you go." came a sarcastic comment form in the Living room.
"Ha ha, real cute." Inuyasha said equally sarcastic.
"But I am sorry I was late I had to pick up my nice from school." he stepped to the side to reveal a little girl.
"Her name is Rin and this is my older half brother Sesshomaru's daughter." he explained.
"Um, Hello" Rin shyly said.
"Hi! My name is Shippo." said every excited to meet another kid around his age.
"So are we leaving or are we going to give her the grand tour of the hose?" Inuyasha said heading back towards the door.
"Yeah we're leaving just wait a minute." Kagome said fastening Emari in to her jacket.
"Well I'll be at the car when you decide to come." he said grabbing the car seat and heading out to the car with Rin right behind him."
"Fine." she said "Shippo get your jacket and come on before he leaves us." she said hurrying.
"Come on Souta before you get left." she yelled to her brother hoping he could hear her.
Being the last one out the house Souta made his way down to the car full of people waiting for him to come.
At the mall they met up with Miroku, Sango, Salina, and Kohaku waiting for them at the costume shop. In the store the group spread them selves through out the store looking for the perfect thing to wear. Inuyasha found himself a large red kimono along with a large sword and a pare of white dog ears. Kagome in another aisle finds a medium size red and white kimono with a bow and a set of arrows. Shippo finds his self a little fox demon out fit along with a pare of fox paws for his shoes, and Souta finds a wolf demon costume with a long bushy tail, also Rin found her self a orange and white checkered, peasant girl out fit.
On the other side of the store Miroku finds a black and purple monk's costume along with a monk's staff and a couple of sutras. A head of him Sango and Kohaku find a pare of demon slayer costume; Sango's a pink and black one and Kohaku a black and green one along with a large boomerang and a plastic large dagger. (A/N: I don't know what Kohaku's weapon is called)Also Kagome was able to pick out a baby lynxdemoncostume wit the help of Shippo for Emari and Sango a small twin tailed cat demon costume for Salina. And with the help from both Sango and Kagome Rin was able to pick out an orange and cream colored kimono.
"So what are you suppose to be Kagome?' Sango asked as they tried on their costumes.
"Well I'm a priestess from the feudal era. What abut you?"
"Me? Oh, I'm a demon slayer. Hey look at this I was able to get Salina this cute little two tail cat demon one piece."
"Really, Shippo helped me find an out fit for Emari."
"What is it?"
"It's a baby lynx costume." she said looking at her self in the mirror.
"Mirror, mirror in the wall who's the cutest priestess of them all?" Kagome played look in the mirror.
"Not you." came a voice from behind them followed by a few snickers.
She turn around to see Inuyasha standing in his out fit holding a fussy baby lynx better known as Emari.
"Ha ha very funny now what you do to make her mad?"
"I did nothing to her, she was already mad when I came over here. The one you should be asking he him." he pointed to Shippo stand next to the strollers.
"Why me?" he asked mad that he was now the one at blame.
"What happened Shippo?" Kagome asked coming to eye level with him.
"I don't know, at first she was asleep then she started to get mad when she woke up." he said explaining it the best way he could.
"Or was it you woke her on purpose." Inuyasha said teasing him a little.
"No I didn't." he said starting to cry for being picked on.
"Inuyasha stop we don't need them both to start crying and besides she only hungry." she said picking up Shippo to sooth him.
"And how do you know she's hungry?"
"She's always that way after she wakes up." she said putting Shippo back down.
"Well then since you know what's wrong with her, you fix it." handing her the baby.
"Fine." she said going to change bake in to her regular clothes as did everyone else.
In the changing room Kagome and Sango change back into their regular clothes.
"Some times I wonder how you can stand being with someone like him." Sango said coming out the dressing room.
"Me too but then I remember I'm with him for this grade so I put up with him."
"Well let's just hope that's the only reason."
"And what do you mean by that?"
"You know what I mean."
"No I don't."
"Okay, forget it." she said giving up.
"Fine, let's go find the others." strapping the babies back into their stroller and getting hold of Rin's hand.
On the side of the dressing room Inuyasha, Miroku and the others change also.
"Why do you always do that to her?" Miroku asked coming out of his room.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked heading towards the cashiers.
"I'm talking about Kagome, why do you all ways dump those kind of problems and to add tease her and Shippo."
"Oh that, that's just something we do to each other: she get in one and I get her back and beside if she know how to get Emari to stop crying then why not let her she's the mother, and as for Shippo he's a bonus."
"What do you mean I'm a bonus?" Shippo said running up to him.
"Like I said you're a bonus for me to tease."
"And how did I become your bonus?" he asked.
"Just for get it. Go find Kagome." dismissing the conversation between them.
Running up a head Shippo spot Kagome and the girls already at the cashier getting ready to pay for their things
"Are you guys ready to go?" Sango asked holding onto a large bag from the store.
"Yeah in a minute." Inuyasha said grabbing his bag from the cashier.
"Wait." Kagome said throwing a bead necklace around Inuyasha neck.
"I think these will go better with your costume." she said taking them off to pay for them.
Finally back at the shrine the group finds that Mrs. Higurashi has been doing a little decorating around the shrine while they were out. Now in the house Emari and Salina are put down for a nap wile everyone else model off their new costume.
"I pick this one all by my self obaasan." Shippo said showing off his fox demon costume.
"And I helped pick out this baby lynx costume for Emari." digging into a bag in search for the costume.
"Aww that was sweet of you." she said holding out the baby's costume.
"Now the only thing I need to do is wait for tomorrow to come and go 'trick or treating" he said parading round the house.
"So what all did you do to the shrine while we were out?" Kagome asked her mother bringing up a new subject.
"Not that much, I put up some streamers, balloons a few bats and that skeleton over there." she pointed over to the corner next to Inuyasha.
"And I went out and got some more candy for the kids and some drinks, cups, plates and… oh a cake for the party."
"Looks like you finished up what we were supposed to do." Sango said looking around the house.
"It looks that way does it?" Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "But then you can help clean up after the party."
"I knew there had to be a catch for you to do all that work." Inuyasha said folding his arms and sitting Indian style on the floor.
"Trick-or-treat!" Shippo practiced as he waited for Kagome and Inuyasha to get back from school.
"Shippo get ready Kagome's on her way home okay." Mrs. Higurashi said from in the kitchen.
"Yes!" he said in excitement as he got on his costume.
"We're back." Kagome said coming into the house followed by Rin and Inuyasha carrying Emari.
"Looks like everything's ready for tonight." Inuyasha said giving the shrine a once more check over.
"Mom, where's Shippo the other kids have already started trick or treating?" Kagome asked coming into the kitchen.
"He's getting dressed he should be down any second."
"I'm ready!" he came into the kitchen as if on cue.
"We see that." Inuyasha said
"Inuyasha be nice." Kagome said elbowing him in the stomach
"So when are we leaving?" Shippo asked
"Right after we get our stuff on." Kagome said handing Emari to Inuyasha
"Here, you get her dressed." she said heading for her room to put on her costume (Inuyasha already in his)
"Okay its 3:45 if we leave right now we should be able to hit about four blocks and be back before the party starts." Kagome said looking at her watch but still not any movement to the door
"Are we waiting for anybody?" Shippo asked wondering why they haven't left yet
"We're waiting for Sango and the others first."
Then moments later Sango and the others made their appearance at the shrine ready to go 'trick or treating'
"Now can we go?" Shippo asked
"Yes, Finally" Inuyasha answered
Now out the house and ready to go 'trick or treating' Shippo, Souta, and Kohaku make a dash down the stairs ahead of every body.
"Don't get too far ahead of us." Kagome said to the boys who were ready to cross the street
"Don't worry Kagome, me and Miroku will take Souta and Kohaku on ahead to the next street."
"Okay then Inuyasha and I will keep Shippo and Rin with us, and do this side of the street, and meet back at the shrine."
After catching up with the boys Kagome explained to them the plan and shortly after departed with Inuyasha, Shippo and Rin
At the first house they stopped at children were already there wait for someone to hand out the candy
"Trick or Treat" the majority of the kids said in unison
"Give me some candy" a boy in a black duck costume said
As they got to the porch a middle aged woman in a witch's hat came out with a bowl of candy giving the children each a hand full of candy but the little duck child an apple for his rudeness. It was the same at every hose they went to following the group of kids: a hand full of candy for them but for the smart mouth boy – apples, tooth paste, floss and raisins.
By the time they got to the end of the fifth block both Rin and Shippo were complaining abut being tired and their feet hurting, Shippo being more verbal so having no choice they headed back to the shrine.
"You're back early." Mrs. Higurashi said see her daughter and friends return home way before the party started
"Yeah, well there were too many kids and complaints on our outing." Inuyasha said plopping down on the couch
"What happened?"
"Ah we ended up tagging along with a group of kids and a rude mouth little boy, but we came back so early was-"
"The little fox kid and peasant child wouldn't stop complaining about their feet and being tired." Inuyasha barked in as he watched the children in question duck up stairs
"Oh, hay but where's everyone else?"
"We had split into team so they're still out, probably gone to a hunted house or something." Kagome said as she disappeared upstairs carrying a sleeping baby lynx a.k.a Emari
"Probably won't be back till the party actually starts form." Inuyasha said laid out on the couch
"So what are you going to do now?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Take a nap." he announced as he went into a light cat nap
Entry 68: Today was Halloween a day every kid loves especially Shippo, so for today we all dressed up as demons, peasants, and a miko form the feudal era. I would say it was a good outing if it weren't for a certain group kids that were out as well. Even though Emari slept through most of it, it was still funny from the reactions Inuyasha gave off when the couples actually thought that we were a family; being Rin and Shippo's parents but I did manage to tell a few the truth but after a while I gave up correcting them and let it slide, having Inuyasha walk around with a beet red face. Now Emari is starting to sleep more at night and I'm glad for that but still hoping for a full nights rest, and please let it be soon.
again sorry for the delay with the rest of the story but please review
