Chapter 7, New work.

"SO! How's the leash Kouga?" Miroku teased from the couch.

"Shut up, lech" He yelled, punching him in the shoulder.

"Leash?" Yura asked.

"Kouga's been a good little wolf and spends all of his time with his new mate, Ayame here."

"That's cute and a little leashish" She teased.

"It is not a leash!"

"Of course not, hun. Just a very good routine" Ayame kissed his forehead.

"I am not a pet!" Kouga yelled.

"Whatever you say. Anyways, really, what have you been doing?" Inuyasha asked.

"I've set up a few things that I might be a part of but a lot of modeling has shown up- its weird." He took a sip of the beer Rin offered everyone.

"I mean, you are hot enough for it so.." KAgome took a sip of hers.

"Why thank you, Kagome" Kouga winked and she rolled her eyes.

"You think he's hot?" Inuyasha looked at her.

"Obviously. One would be blind to think otherwise. I'm happy to be blessed with attractive friends, you're all hot" She smirked at everyone.

"What about me?" Inuyasha asked.

"I wouldn't have loved you if you weren't" She simply told him.

"Shallow, I like it" Yura smiled at her and everyone laughed.

"Everyone! I have an announcement so stop boosting your ego's for a minute!" Rin yelled, standing up from her seat next to Sesshomaru who looked wildly bored and work deprived.

"What's up?" Sango looks at her.

"There's um- another reason we, well I wanted to be around you guys again. I love my mamas back home but this is something I specifically need Kagome around me for" She smiled at the girl and Kagome looked up confused. Now everyone, was lost.

"Well don't we feel useless." Jakotsu joked but with a smile.

"You and Sango should be great help too" Rin winked at him.

"Just tell us!" Ayame yelled.

"Okay okay- I'm pregnant!" She squealed and you could here a pin drop if she weren't before all the girls started to scream too.

"Ohmy GOD! That honeymoon must have been good!" Kagome yelled hugging the girl.

"You know it" Rin smirked.

"UGh, ugly picture" Inuyasha whispered.

"How long?"

"A few weeks" She smiled.

"Ahhhhhh! This is perfect- everything going to be fine. I had freaking twins, I think I've got you" Kagome hugged her one last time before everyone else felt it was their time to congratulate.

"This is gonna be weird for me, isn't it?" Inuyasha smiled at her.

"Probably but you'll need to get used to it if you wanna have more kids" Rin sighed.

"Who said I want more?"

"I'm not stupid. You're a dog demon for heaven sakes. Even Sesshomaru wants a full house" She hugged him.

The rest of the night was met with tears over the new news and how Rin has grown over the years. Some extra wine for everyone else and then they all left.

"Do you think we could have twins?" Rin asjed Sesshomaru as they got ready for bed.

"If Inuyasha carried the gene, I certainly would. Do you want?" He asked her.

"I think it would be so cute"

"Rin, I need to learn to manage one before I do two at the same time."

"You weren't saying that, that night on our honeymoon" She smirked with a glint of something in her eye.

"That was a fun night but I don't see that happening ever again" He smiled lightly at her before they went to bed.


"Rin, honey. You've been pregnant for about a month. This does not mean you can pig out at my Grill yet" Kagome told the girl as she whined in her office.

"That's mean. I'm allowed to be as fat as I want, when I want. Sesshomaru said so." She pouted.

"Because Sesshomaru is basically your lap dog, sweetie."

"What are you doing that taking your attention away from me?" Rin growled.

"Work, that thing I come here for everyday?" She snorted.

"But shouldn't you be out there, watching things?"

"I got some papers sent over on budgets and orders from different grills from the company so I need to go over them and fix them before sending them back tonight."

"Really? Sounds like a big job."

"A job I can't get paid for evidently." She muttered.

"Kagome?" Ayame came in.

"Yea?"

"A man here wants to speak to you about hosting an event. He's waiting downstairs."

"Okay. Give Rin a table near here while I'm with him." She told the girl and they were both off When Kagome fixed herself to go downstairs.

"Hi there. Kagome Higurashi. Head Manager of this establishment. How can I help you?" She shook the mans hand. He looked impressed and smiled at her.

"Keito Yamanaka, it's a pleasure. This is a beautiful place you have here. My company wishes to hold an event to present promotions and I feel this if the best place." He smiled as they walked up the staircase to her office.

"Might I ask what Company this is?" She opened the door for him

"Sengoku Jidai" He sat down and looked at her.

"The.. Fuedal Era.. The franchise. I was unaware of this ceremony but if you'd like to have it here I can't possibly say no to my bosses, right?" She joked with the man.

"It will be about as large as our usual. Two months time from now. We are aware of the advancements you made with the main location in Tokyo and we would like some updates here as well before the event. Naturally that would mean the place will be closed but you will all still be receiving your payments and we would like you and your assistant to undergo the changes and oversee the work as you did in Tokyo."

"Oh, that's perfect, sir"

"Keito, please. The company will be in contact with contracting and such. We'll redo this entire place under your command. We will be looking for positive results for your further employment" He said with a smile on his way out and Kagome's stomach dropped. Ayame led him out and Kagome was to stunned to even move from her spot by her door.

"Kagome?" Rin came up to her and pried her hand off the door to close it. "You okay?"

"Ohmygod.." She muttered "Ohdearjesus, ohno"

"What's wrong?" Rin looked worried.

"What's up with her?" Ayame walked in.

"She hasn't said yet"

"Oh my god, they wanna fire me.."

"WHAT?!" They both yelled.

"You're the best thing here! That's why Bankotsu left it to you!"Ayame yelled.

"You must have it wrong, Kagome"

"They just told me that if I screw up this job my job depends on it" She looked at them.

"Whats the job?"

"A complete revamp of this sight. They wanna close it for awhile to renovate the entire thing just in time for an advancement ceremony within the company in two months"

"Wow- it's like entirely on you?" Ayame asked.

"You're not helping" Rin smacked her arm. "It's fine Kagome- you did the same thing in Tokyo for me, remember? You'll do great."

"Rin I put in tables and fixed some floors with a little stage. This is an entire building!" She argued.

"I though she was supposed to have the hormones, Kagome" Ayame pointed at Rin who smacked her arm again. "Okay, look. It's a big job, I get it. It may be job or no job in the end but that just means it's a challenge right? When have you ever freaking backed down for a challenge? Tokyo was one hell of a challenge, the place was a dump and how are their sales now?" Ayame put a hand to her ear.

"17% higher.." Kagome said low.

"17% higher. Exactly. Do you remember when Bankotsu first left and you were left with shit here to fix? The bar situation and that really weird frequent event he used to host for the money?"

"Yes, I do" Kagome sounded defeated.

"Yes, you do. You fixed all of that. You did everything here. It's not that big of a project for you do redo this place in a style you see more fit for the city and it's costumers! Dammit, you'll be fine. Stop being a vagina and step up to the plate like you normally do for your job" Ayame finished with a stomp and Kagome was shocked by her audacity. Rin too.

"If I get fired, you better take over" Kagome gave a little smile.

"You bet your ass, I will." She smirked.

"We have weird friendships.." Rin muttered and the girls laughed.


"Well, hello!" Kagome sung into her full house. The kids were home and Sango was watching them with Kirara.

"Mama!" They all ran to her including Kirara. The cat was atop her shoulder and the kids were all hugging her sides.

"Hey" Sango called,coming up from the couch.

"How were they?"

"Perfect little devils" Sango smiled down at them. "Alright, let mommy go so we can figure out what we're eating for dinner" They all let go and ran back to the living room to the tv.

"You staying for dinner?"

"Miroku is annoying, Jakotsu's at work and Inuyasha called. He won't be back till late. I might as well offer my company" She smiled.

"You're mean for Leaving Miroku alone at your place."

"He's taken it upon himself to get used to the place, anyways. The man is sleeping in his boxers with a freaking robe, Kagome. Not even bothering to change before he comes out of the room in the mornings."

"Maybe he wants you to accidentally see something that might.. intrigue you" Kagome winked as she opened the fridge to inspect what's inside.

"As if. I could care less with what I saw"

"So you've already looked? Damn, Sango." Kagome laughed and the girl went red.

"Shut up! It's not like he hides anything! I told you that already!"

"Whatever, hunnybunches. You like what you see don't you? I mean, I've been to the pool with the guy so I know he's a little ripped"

"Can we please change this subject now?" Sango looked mortified.

"Scoop that up before he finds another challenge to chase, Sango" Kagome stopped looking through the fridge in defeat.

"That's the issue, stupid. How could I possibly go for a guy who decides better on his meals than what girls he wants for the day?"

"So you do have a thing for him?"

"Shut up"

"Answer the question."

"I may have like a slight kindergarten crush- which is equivalent to like nothing but curiosity."

"It's a step, regardless. Okay! Chinese or pizza?" Kagome asked laughing.

"Is that a rhetorical question? Kids! Pizza?" Sango yelled.

"Pizza!" Sango gave a knowing smirk and Kagome pulled out her phone to order the food. When they came back The girls went into a little study on the first floor away from the children.

Small talk erupted for the night up until the food came in. The kids ate at a small table in between the living room and the dining room. Sango and Kagome sat on the dining room table, watching them.

"Have you payed attention to Shippo lately?" Sango asked.

"Why?"

"He's super protective over Shiori."

"You think?"

"Mhmm, She didn't want to fall down the stairs in her socks and Shippo carried her all the way down. He's even giving her her food- look" She pointed.

"Whatever makes him feel like part of the family" Kagome smiled.

"It's super cute"

"Yeaa and he's my son" Kagome winked. Neither one of them noticed the kids listening.


The lights were all off and not a sound could be heard. He quietly closed the door and placed his keys on the table by the door. He left his bag by the couch and almost yelled when he felt something there.

"Papa?" Inuyasha heard and looked towards the staircase where Shippo was standing, rubbing his eyes.

"Shippo? Why are you awake you should be in bed" He walked over to him.

"Mama wanted to wait for you and Shiori wouldn't go up without her" He pointed over to the couch. Inuyasha looked closely and saw Kagome laying down with a blanket over her and Shiori. He smiled.

"Wanna help me bring them upstairs?" He looked at Shippo who nodded. They both walked back to the couch. Shippo picked up Shiori and went upstairs with her. Inuyasha picked Kagome up, bridal style and went to their room.

"mmm, Inu-yasha?" Kagome squirmed when she was put down on the bed. She hugged a pillow tightly and he can only presume she was dreaming about him. HE went and changed, putting on a pair of sweats and staying shirtless. He climbed into bed and removed the pillow from her arms. He put her arms around him instead and she slept soundly on his chest.

"I missed you too.." He kissed her forehead and fell asleep with her.
