I don't own Inuyasha at all. If I did I'd have Sesshoumaru as my protective, cuddly bigbrother and Inuyasha would do my every bidding. As for Kikyou she would be burning in Hell where she belongs!

Chapter 7: Quality Bath

Inuyasha looked at the seething Miko before him with emotionless eyes as he listened to her ranting about how he never gave a damn about her any longer, and how everything that had happened was his fault, and only his no matter what people might say.

"I specifically told you to make sure that Kagome never returned here, and what happens?! After six years the bitch returns, and with a child no less! Oh, and it get's even better! The damn child is YOURS!" Kikyou shouted as she glared at the stunned Hanyou, who in turn was glaring at Kikyou like she was crazy.

"Y-you what now?"

Kikyou screamed in frustration over his not-so-intelligent answer to her, stomped her foot down into the ground in a very unladylike manner, and then she walked over to Inuyasha until he couldn't avoid her cold gaze.

"I want her gone from this Era within the week, or so help me, Inuyasha! You deserve better than that disgusting copy of me, and you know it!" Kikyou hissed, and watched in satisfaction as Inuyasha flinched visibly.

"There's one thing, that had been bothering me, Inuyasha, and that is how she even got back here, since I am sure that you gave me all the Shikon no Kakera the night you made her return to her own Time..."

Kikyou continued muttering for herself another five minutes, before she turned her attention towards Inuyasha, who was unnaturally quiet as he stood there without any emotion in his eyes, and then Kikyou's face cracked in a sly grin.

"You didn't give me all the Shikon no Kakera she had, did you? You idiot!" Kikyou scolded before she crossed her arms, and groaned in irritation.

"This sets back all the plans I had, Inuyasha, for quite a while! I hope you're happy that you just ruined our chance for being together forever!" Kikyou shouted before she stomped off towards the hut where she and Inuyasha lived, and the left Hanyou drew in a sigh of relief as he watched the dark-haired Miko disappear in the distance.

"Damn, I never thought that she would leave... you can come out now Bouzo!" Inuyasha growled as he turned around, and shot Miroku a filthy glare when the Monk emerged from behind some trees, with a wide goofy grin on his face.

"Wow... so close to the New Moon, and you're still able to track me?" the Monk asked hesitantly as he moved closer to where Inuyasha was standing, only to greet the dirt, after Inuyasha whacked him from behind.

"Damn it, Miroku! Stop peeping on people when they are having fucking private conversations!" Inuyasha growled as his golden eyes flashed dangerously when they looked the softly chuckling Monk over, but Miroku didn't utter a word.

"Saki-chan is quite the little darling, you know. You should be happy that she inherited those eyes of yours. I think that Kagome-sama's guilty pleasure is staring into those eyes Saki has, since they seem to remind Kagome-sama of you." Miroku suddenly said, and watched as Inuyasha's face got a strange smile roaming around in it.

"To think that Kagome-sama actually bore your child after I asked her so many times, really is a blow to my ego... why me?" Miroku whined, and received another pounding from Inuyasha who snorted in disgust, and sat down against one of the trees.

"Kikyou wants her to disappear, or else she'll take action herself and I don't want that to happen. Kikyou is too dangerous, and if Kagome dies because of me I could never forgive myself!" Inuyasha growled as he fisted his hands, and closed his eyes as the imaginary image of Kagome's dead and cold body staring up at him with lifeless eyes invaded his mind.

"I see your dilemma Inuyasha, but I cannot do anything to help you other than tell you to follow your heart." Miroku said with a sigh before he stood up, and then he began walking towards his house.

"Kagome-sama stays at my house tonight, Inuyasha. I just wanted to tell you." Miroku shouted over his shoulder before he disappeared behind a few trees, leaving Inuyasha alone in the warm midsummer night.

With another irritated sigh Inuyasha began walking back home again, but stopped for a few moments when the scent of wolf was detected by his already-weakening nostrils. He spun around just in time to see a brown wolf run off, as fast as its four legs could carry it towards the Eastern Mountains.

"Feh... fucking wolf can just try to come here again..." Inuyasha growled before he stuffed his arms in his long sleeves, and continued walking towards the village.

OXO

Kagome smiled softly as she lay there under the covers of the futon, and for a quick moment she wondered when she had to get up in order to make a good cup of coffee, while still being able to get to work at a respectable time, not to mention that she had to drop off Saki at the kindergarten.

"Mmm... coffee..." she muttered with a silly smile plastered on her lips, but her brows met in a frown when the sound of a giggle was heard right above her, and with a groan she opened her sleepy eyes to look up at three small faces, who all bore big, wicked-looking grins.

"Mama, I don't think that they have coffee here. I already asked Sango-san, and she said that they didn't know what in the world I was talking about!" Saki giggled as she watched her mother's eyes lose their sleepy appearance, and she shot up like someone had set fire to her.

"What? No coffee?"

Kagome's slightly panicked voice brought Sango running into the room Kagome and Saki had borrowed for the night, and with a fierce look in her eyes the Taijiya began looking around for the 'something' that had Kagome in such distress.

"Sango-chan, relax! There's nothing wrong at all!" Kagome laughed as she eyed her friend standing there in her plain yukata, with a sharp katana ready in her capable hands.

"B-but I heard you shouting, Kagome-chan! You were sounding as if there was something horribly wrong!" Sango said as she eyed the room with wary eyes, and Saki snickered in glee.

"Mama was just irritated, because she doesn't have coffee to wake her up! She always drinks a cup of it in the morning, but she says I can't have any because it would make me go hyper." Saki explained to the still-confused Taijiya, who cocked her head to the side, and then sat down to let Kagome explain what exactly coffee was.

OXO

As the sun rose higher into the sky, Kagome dragged her daughter with her to get a bath together with Sango and her two daughters, while Shippou took care of the youngest since Miroku had been called away for an exorsism together with a few of the people in the village - Inuyasha included. Kikyou had opted to stay behind, since her sister had been getting quite frail as of lat,e and it would only be natural for the elder sister to help her out.

"Ne, Kagome-chan... would you like me to go with you when you're visiting Kaede?"

"Thanks Sango-chan, but I would like to do it by myself. I'll take Saki with me too, since if we have to stay here I might as well make sure that she'll get to know people in the village."

The two grown women giggled, and then turned their attention towards Saki and the twins who had started a water-fight that was starting to get a little out of hand but nothing serious as of yet.

"No Saki-chan! Don't do that!" one of the twins giggled as she and her sister tackled the slightly younger girl, who returned the favor by splashing them with handful after handful of water at the two almost identical girls.

"Now, now you three, don't go too far. I don't want you to go too far into the forest alright?" Sango shouted as the three girls began moving towards the edge of the forest, and the two women spotted the three girls nod, all at the same time, before they ran into the forest without a care in the world.

"They are like small balls of energy! If Naraku and other dangerous demons hadn't been involved in our quest, we could just have rented a bunch of hyper kids to find the Shikon no Kakera for us. Of course you, would have to be with them Kagome-chan." Sango snickered as she watched Kagome's neutral face crack up in amusement.

"Ah, if only it had been like that... how long did you even come with the Shikon no Tama after I left, anyway?"

Kagome's question made a sad expression fly over Sango's face, and Kagome frowned in confusion.

"Sango-chan... what happened?"

"Well Kagome-chan, after you left then... Kikyou gave us instructions to hide the shards on the outskirts of the forest, and well... Inuyasha just took them and did as she asked without consulting us at all." Sango said with a guilty look in her eyes, and Kagome groaned in frustration over Kikyou's "grand plan", which seemed awfully much like she just wanted the others to get rid of the shards, so someone else could have them.

When the two women had finished bathing they began packing the things they had brought with them, and walked towards the

"Sango-chan listen to me... I don't blame you at all alri-..."

Kagome was interrupted when a scream was heard close to where they were, and as Sango and Kagome's faces paled a nonhuman roar was heard nearby, followed by a strong Demonic Energy.
