Hello! Idk what else to say as it is 2:30 am and I have no idea why I'm still awake at this hour. but anyway here is the newest chapter please enjoy! ^.^

Inuyasha sat on the floor of the living room leaning his back against the couch. He had his knees up supporting a sketchbook as he drew a picture of the mustached news reporter on the TV. His phone at his side with ear buds plugged in as it played I Won't Spend Another Night Alone by The Ataris. Kagome and her Mother were out dress shopping for the wedding and Souta was in school. Grandpa was sitting in his favorite recliner watching the news. He looked Inuyasha up and down watching as his head slightly nodded with the beat of the music and his clawed hand moved the pencil steadily against the paper. How is supposed to support my granddaughter if all he's gonna do is waste his time sitting around the damn house all day?" he thought while making a disgusted face. He then picked up the remote turning off the TV. "Inuyasha! Now that we have a few minutes alone we need to have a talk." Despite having the ear buds squished inside his odd shaped ears he could still hear Grandpa. He picked up his phone and paused his music, taking out the ear buds and placing them to the side. "What do you want to talk about old man?" Inuyasha asked not liking the gruff tone the old man had. He leaned on his cane still sitting in the chair. "Inuyasha what do you have planned for the future?" Inuyasha sat back against the couch thinking. "Well I was thinking maybe Kagome and I could have some pups whenever she's ready to. Maybe getting one of these fancy huts of our own if she wants to?" he shrugged he really hasn't thought that far down the road yet. The old man's face turned red with irritation. "And how do you expect to purchase a house and take care of your children? How are you going to take care of my granddaughter? She doesn't make enough money to support herself ya know. You're going to have to help her out and support her." Inuyasha glared at him. "Listen ya old geezer I plan on taking very good care of Kagome don't ya worry about that!" he said gruffly. Grandpa huffed at that. "Boy this isn't the feudal era. You can't just swing that sword around and expect that to be enough. Hell if you swing that sword around here you'll end up in jail. Then what is Kagome gonna do?" Inuyasha growled loudly and stood up shaking his fist at him. "THEN WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO OLD MAN?" He then turned to leave grabbing his phone as he started to walk out. Grandpa sighed loudly. "Boy come back in here I'll tell ya how to be a man in this era." He said more calmly. Inuyasha stopped at the doorway sighing he really didn't want to continue talking to the old man but he knows he needs to learn how to take care of his mate in this time period. Turning around he walked back and sat on the floor in front of him dog like. Grandpa took a deep breath as he had to remind himself that Inuyasha really didn't know what he was doing. "Boy you need to earn a good paycheck. Living on your own, raising children, spoiling your wife," he smirked "you're gonna need a damn good paycheck." He stated. Inuyasha listened to him intently. "What is a paycheck? How do you get one?" Grandpa picked up a pile of paperwork on the small table beside him and flipped through it finding the envelope he was looking for he tore it open bringing out a check. "This here is a paycheck. It's a piece of paper you bring to the bank that tells them how much money you have earned." He said stuffing the paper back in the envelope. He then grabbed another piece of paper on top of the pile. It had a logo that resembled a lightbulb. "This here Inuyasha is called a bill. You will get many of these and they come back around every month. This is what you owe for services provided. This one in particular is our power bill. It's what we owe for the lights. If we don't pay it on time they shut them off." He explained. Inuyasha's head was spinning. "So how do you get paychecks?" he asked. Grandpa smiled as he pulled out a manila folder on the bottom of the pile. Inside were brochures and pamphlet's all addressed to Souta or Current Resident. "Ya have to get a job boy. But if you go to school at one of these places you can graduate and obtain a career." He said smiling and handing Inuyasha the pamphlet. Inuyasha took it and flipped through it all quickly. Grandpa leaned on his cane slowly getting up. "Look through all that and make a decision on what you would want your career to be. And just to remind you that you are family we will help you and Kagome out with whatever you two need as long as you both are trying to better your situations." Inuyasha nodded at him "Thank you old man, for everything." He said bowing slightly. Grandpa started to walk out of the living room "Your welcome boy now if you excuse me the prune juice seems to be working today."

Inuyasha sat in Kagome's room with all the pamphlets and brochures strewn out all across the floor. He picked one up and read it. As Tokyo's premier urban public research university, Yamanashi University believes in the power of transformation. We are committed to providing educational opportunities that transform the lives of our students, our community, and the changing world around us. "What the hell does that even mean?" he asked himself as he opened it up to see the list of majors. "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology? What the fuck is that?" he complained as he threw the pamphlet across the room. "I don't know if I can do this. How the hell am I supposed to take care of Kagome when none of this makes any sense to me?" The hanyou punched the mattress they both shared out of frustration. He heard the front door open and two females giggling as they walked up the stairs toward him. He listened as the older Higurashi female carried something that rustled towards her bedroom. Kagome then walked in their bedroom smiling cheerfully. "Hello my mate! We're home! I picked out the most perfect dress for our wedding I can't wait for you to see it!" She said lovingly. Inuyasha perked his ears up a little giving her a slight smile. Just her walking in the room was enough to make the hanyou happy, even if it was just a little bit. Kagome stepped on a pamphlet before she realized that her whole bedroom floor was covered with them and in the center sat a very sad looking mate. "Inuyasha what's all this?" she asked. Inuyasha hid his face in his bangs. "You're Grandpa said I need to get a career in order to take care of you." Kagome nodded she knew all too well of the college talk with Grandpa. "Inuyasha you just got here if you don't want to go to college right now its okay." She said as she walked across the paper carpet and kneeled down to face the hanyou. Inuyasha continued to look down in shame. "No I need to do this I need to be the man you need me to be. I just don't know how I can do this." He admitted clenching his fist. Kagome placed her hand affectingly over his fist. "Inuyasha I can help you. I ended up graduating from high school early and went to college for a year and a half for nursing so I could give youkai a safe place to deliver their pups while receiving the same care all humans get. I can help you decide on a college and major and help you through it all." Inuyasha lifted his head and gave her a small smile. "Thank you Kagome." He said. Kagome leaned in close to him giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll always be here to help you as I know you are for me. That's what mates do." she said as she gave him a smile.

It was 3:21 in the morning and the two mates where still sitting on the floor of Kagome's room shifting through the mess of papers. They finally got the pile down to 2 potential college choices. Inuyasha was reading through the list of majors for one community college that was conveniently located just down the road from where they lived. "Apprentice? What's that Kagome?" he asked. Kagome was leaning up against his shoulder eating Cheetos. "Oh that's what Sesshomaru did. He apprenticed as an intern for this guy at the Hamatachi tower and worked his way up the ladder. He's now an executive." She said as she put another Cheeto in her mouth. "keh" said Inuyasha as he grabbed a handful of Kagome's Cheetos and shoved them in his mouth. Kagome read the list over his shoulder and came to a major that almost made her choke as it was so perfect for him. "Inuyasha what about Criminal Justice!" she exclaimed. He gave her an odd look. "What about it wench?" Kagome wiggled in excitement. "It's perfect for you! You could be a police officer and take down bad guys and stand up for what's right, oh what do you think?" she asked excitedly. Inuyasha still had no idea what she was talking about and just shrugged his shoulders. Kagome sighed. She then got a brilliant idea. She got up and grabbed her laptop off her desk and went to Netflix. "How would you like to be one of these guys?" she asked as she typed a show into the search box and clicked on an episode. Inuyasha watched the screen as the theme song came on. "Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you." Together they watched an episode that featured a drug bust, a car chase, and a domestic disturbance as well as a streaker. After the show was over Kagome looked over to Inuyasha. "So what do you think? Is that something you would like to do?" she asked sweetly. Inuyasha rubbed his chin smiling "Actually that would be pretty badass. Yeah I think that's what I want my career to be." He said happily. Kagome hugged her mate "Great we'll go talk to the college tomorrow and get you enrolled! Oh this is so exciting!" she exclaimed. Even Inuyasha was excited about it finally, although he didn't show it as much as Kagome did. He smiled and grabbed his mate in a hug, kissing her forehead he whispered. "Thank you for all that you do for me." He then moved down to her neck placing kisses all the way down until he noticed Kagome smelled different tonight. "Uh Kagome do you want pups anytime soon?" he asked. Kagome gave him a funny look "Uh not right now really, we're not even married yet, or have our own place. Can we wait for a bit?" she asked. Inuyasha smiled at her and nodded his head. "That's okay we can wait but we can't have sex tonight then." He said giving her a little whimper. Kagome gave him an odd look. "Yes we can I'm on a pill that prevents pregnancy and… oh shit I forgot to take it!" She whined remembering the two days of forgotten pills. Inuyasha rubbed her back "It's okay you don't need to take those pills anyway I can smell when your fertile. We just won't do anything on those days until you're ready to have a pup." Kagome nodded. "That's good cause I'm really bad at remembering to take them anyway." She yawned loudly. Inuyasha picked her up suddenly making her squeal a little as he carried her to the bed. He gently lowered her onto the matress before climbing in next to her. They both laid on their sides with Inuyasha holding her by the waist after he shut off the light. "I love you my Kagome." He said as he took a whiff of her hair. "I love you too Officer Yash." She smirked.
