Episode Ocho!
Recap: "A baby? Good luck with that. My Mommy just had a baby. It's the worst its like when your Mommy and Daddy have the baby, they forget all about you. It's always the baby this, the baby that" Haachi frowned as he told Rin.
"No, Rin's Mommy would never forget her!" Rin protested. 'I think she added in her head.
H.C.A.H.O.
A couple of weeks had passed since the zoo trip where Kagome and Rin came home smelling like a horse took a shit on them. (The smell never really leaves). Now, it was Christmas vacation and they had shopping to do.
Sesshomaru lay in the large, comfortable bed with Kagome snuggled into him. They had just had another let's-make-sure-that-we-have-a-baby session. Kagome sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "I was thinking" She began. Sesshomaru inclined his head to her. "Maybe…we should…I don't know, wait until later to have a baby, you know, so that I don't have to miss too much school and then I'm not all big for graduation" She finished hesitantly.
He looked at her briefly with annoyance. "I wish you had thought of this sooner" He sighed. "I know I wish I had too" she agreed. "Around maybe…April maybe?" She suggested. Sesshomaru nodded once before slumping down under the covers and turning to his side. He closed his eyes and went relaxed into what was as close to sleep for him.
Kagome did the same, bringing the covers up to her chin and relaxing.
H.C.A.H.O.
"Rin if you don't hurry up I'm gonna go shopping without you!" Kagome yelled up the stairs. That girl had been taking twenty minutes more to get ready. "I'm coming!" she yelled back and then there was a lot of ruckus coming down the steps until Rin finally appeared with a little red wagon full of toys.
"Oh Rin, you can't bring all of those with you" Kagome cooed. "But, they all want to pick out their new friends. I have to get them each a new friend or they'll all be sad" The girl said cutely. "Sweetie, they can't all get a new friend. They'll have to be friends with each other or else we'll run out of money. We have to get gifts for all our family and closest friends, like Shippou" Kagome told her gently.
The child pouted a bit before turning around to bring the toys back upstairs. Kagome gave a little chuckle before walking into the kitchen to sit next to a working Sesshomaru. "What are you working on?" She asked innocently. "It's an English paper for my professor. She wants it when the vacation is over" He explained, never looking up from the laptop screen.
"Mommy, I'm ready to go now!" Rin chirped, scampering into the room. "Okay sweetie, let's get going then" Kagome smiled and gave Sesshomaru a peck on the lips before grabbing Rin's hand. "Bye Daddy!" The little girl giggled. "Goodbye Rin" He answered automatically.
Then, the two girls set off. Kagome buckled Rin up and got into the drivers side, intent on going straight to the mall when Rin stopped her. "Wait! We have to get Shippou!" She whined. "Of course, how could I have forgotten" Her surrogate mother chuckled lightly before turning in the direction of Shippou's house.
H.C.A.H.O.
A miserable Kagome plus two eager five-year-olds set off to through the mall. Kagome's feet hurt since the children wanted to run into every store that had toys. Her arms hurt because they tugged her into the stores. AND they didn't even want to stop for lunch. Hence, she was miserable.
"Children, why don't we stop for lunch, then we can continue searching for gifts" Kagome suggested, almost begging. The two kids looked at her pleading eyes and gave in. "Oh alright" They sighed in unison. The three set off for the food court for a quick lunch before heading back out to the stores.
"Okay guys, we have gone to every store you wanted, now we're going to go somewhere I want" Kagome told them as she head towards a jewelry store. The two kids grimaced and pouted but grudgingly followed the adult. Kagome looked into the display cases searching for the perfect gift for Sesshomaru. Suddenly, something caught her eye. "It's perfect she whispered to herself. "Excuse me miss, would you like some help?" The man behind the counter asked.
"Yes, how much is this?" She pointed to the jewelry piece in the glass. "The Christmas sale price is two hundred" He told her, taking it out of the show case. "I'll take it" Kagome grinned as she produced her credit from her pocket. She handed it to the man and quickly swiped it before handing it back to her.
He put the gift in a small bag and handed it to Kagome. She thanked him quickly before grabbing Rin and Shippou and hurrying out of the store.
H.C.A.H.O.
Christmas day was finally here. Kagome sat eagerly in bed in her Christmas pajamas. It was a red long sleeve, thick nightdress that ended mid thigh with a white collar and the ends of the sleeve were white as well as the end of the dress. Looking to the clock, she saw, it said 6:20. 'Ten more minutes' she decided.
Mechanically lying in the bed, she stared at the clock as the minutes slowly inched by. She was getting restless waiting for it. Giving a growl of frustration, Kagome flipped the covers off of her and softly got out of bed. She put on her red fuzzy slippers and tip-toed down stairs to the kitchen.
She got to work on breakfast, making hot chocolate and pancakes today. When she was done, it was 6:45. She figured she should go wake everyone up. Running up stairs, Kagome opened the doors to all the bedrooms and stood in the middle of the hall. "Merry Christmas!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
She heard sheets ruffling in hers and Sesshomaru's bedroom, knowing she scared him with her loud wake up. Rin and Shippou came out of Rin's bedroom, rubbing the sleep from their eyes. They looked so adorable in the Christmas footy pajamas. "Good morning everyone! Let's get down stairs and eat!" Kagome squealed excitedly.
Sesshomaru however was still in the bedroom. She furrowed her brow at this and trudged in to see a naked Sesshomaru stand tiredly from bed. The children who had huddled behind her gaped at their parent/god father. "Kids, shield your eyes!" Kagome stepped in front of their curious eyes and pressed their heads to the backs of her legs.
Sesshomaru, who still had sleep in his eyes stretched. Kagome looked down. "I guess you weren't lying, you don't shrink in the coldest of weathers" She nodded, looking at his still impressive but flaccid member. He gave her a small grin as he pulled on a pair of red pants. He tied the draw strings and walked over to Kagome and gave her a quick peck on the lips before grabbing Rin by the waist and picking her up.
Kagome in turn, grabbed Shippou and the four went down stairs to eat. The still hot pancakes were waiting on the kitchen table next to the syrup along with two sippy cups full of hot chocolate and two mugs full as well. Sesshomaru put Rin down in the seat by the pink cup and took Shippou to place him in front of the blue cup. The two adults sat down and Kagome began to put pancakes on the plates.
H.C.A.H.O.
"Okay guys, present time!" Kagome grinned from in front of the tree. She plopped down on the carpeted floor and began passing out the presents. Everyone took a seat around her and started opening their gifts. Kagome immediately went to the present Sesshomaru got her, it was a long box. She slowly peeled the wrapping off, trying to act as if she weren't as excited as she was. When she finally pulled the top off, her eyes almost popped out of her head. "Oh Sesshou, I love it!" She squealed as she launched at him, throwing her arms around his neck and effectively making him fall to the ground.
She planted kisses all over his face, throat and shoulders, hugging him tightly to her. He finally placed his arms around her waist and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Kagome climbed off him and held up the platinum chained locket. It was a large platinum heart with small blue topaz encrusted around the edge. There was one large one in the center of the heart. All through the front was an intricate and lightly engraved design on it.
Kagome opened it and found that one side had her name engraved in it and the other had the word baby. She looked at Sesshomaru confusedly. "For when the baby comes" He explained. Kagome nodded in understanding before quickly putting the locket around her neck.
H.C.A.H.O.
Kagome ran around the room preparing herself for the Christmas party. So far, she had on her deep red v-neck sweater and her sheer stockings on. Now, all she had to finds was her black pleated skirt and her boots. Sesshomaru stood back, ironing his pants and white polo shirt. "Your skirt is in the bathroom" He finally told her. "Why would it be in the bathroom?" She asked, never looking up from the draw she was in.
"Simply because you decided you wanted to steam it and every laundry service is closed today. You ran the shower on hot water, hung the skirt up and closed the door" He told her. Kagome stood up straight and ran into the bathroom, taking the skirt from the door and hurriedly pulling it on.
Their party was in about ten minutes and she still wasn't ready. "Sesshou, where are the boots you bought me?" She asked. "I just bought them and you lost them already?" He demanded; shock evident in his voice.
"Look, I don't remember where I put them, so just tell me" She snapped. "The shoe wrack" He replied. "Thank you" She sighed and ran down stairs to get her new leather boots that ended almost at her knee and had three buckles across the zipper. She pulled them on and rushed back upstairs.
Sesshomaru was dressed by then and was pulling his hair in to a low tail at the base of his neck. "Is everything set up?" He asked her as he straightened the collar on his shirt. "Yeah, beer, chips, juice, cake, brownies, music, we're good" Kagome nodded in confirmation as she put on her earrings. He gave one nod before walking out of the room.
He walked into Rin's room to where she and Shippou were sleeping. He turned off the small lamp, effectively making the night light flicker to life. He walked out the room, closing it behind him and descending down the stairs. He walked into the foyer and opened a door across from the closet and walked down the stairs.
Kagome was coming down the stairs to catch up to him. Sesshomaru waited at the bottom of the steps that led to the basement Kagome had no clue existed until about two weeks ago. It had light brown, plush carpet and a black suede couch in the shape of an l on the wall. The walls were plain old white with green and red streamers and banners on them.
A table was set up with beer, and all sorts of other crap. There was also a cooler under the table filled with more beer and soda. Kagome took a seat on the couch, taking the remote to the stereo and turned it on. Christmas songs immediately came on and she cursed. "Change it when everyone's here" Sesshomaru advised. Not too long after he said that, people were flooding into the basement. Kagome immediately changed the c.d. to some linkin park. Some people went for the beer and cake, taking what they could and coming back to the dance floor.
Kagome walked over to the beer cans and grabbed two. She made her way through the crowd, finding Sesshomaru chatting with Miroku. She skipped over and kissed Miroku on the cheek. "Merry Christmas" She smiled at him and handed Sesshomaru the beer. Miroku grabbed Kagome into a major hug, practically crushing her bones as he did. "I can't breathe" She gasped out. He immediately let her go.
"Merry Christmas Kags, now if you two would excuse me, I see the most enticing girl over there" And with that, the lecher was off to reek havoc. Kagome giggled as she watched Miroku grab the girl's ass only to make her turn around. His face was wide in horror as he saw she was gap-toothed, had a mole on the side of her face and the most jacked up breasts he had ever seen.
"Well, that'll teach that pervert not to go around grabbing every woman he sees" Kagome giggled to Sesshomaru, only to find him gone. She looked around to see him being attacked by major fan girls. Sighing, she stomped her way over to him and pulled him out of the mob. "I can't leave you alone for one minute, can I" She scolded him.
H.C.A.H.O.
It was almost three in the morning. People were collapsed on the couch and floor, beers still in hand and food. Some were still tiredly dancing in the center of the room. Kagome and Sesshomaru were among them. She had her slumped against his chest, her arms hanging limp at her sides, as she swayed from side to side. Sesshomaru was no better; he was just stepping from side to side while his eyes were closed.
The only reason few couples were on the floor was because there was no room to collapse. All the lucky ones were on the floor and asleep. "Sesshou, I think we should make everyone go home now. I want to go up to bed and I don't want all these drunken crazy people in the house still" Kagome mumbled tiredly. Sesshomaru nodded in agreement, stepping away from Kagome, which made her fall flat on her face since she was leaning on him.
But, she was too tired to care as she closed her eyes and relaxed. Sesshomaru went around the room nudging people with his foot. When they would wake up, he would tell them to leave. When everyone but their close friends-who included Miroku, and Kouga, Kagome decided to wake them up and tell them to go to bed.
Sesshomaru grabbed his fallen girlfriend off the floor and threw her over his shoulder as he trekked up the stairs to the foyer and then to the dining room and up to the second floor to their bedroom. He unlocked the door and walked in, throwing Kagome onto the bed before he began taking off his clothes.
Kagome sluggishly got up and took of her boots and clothes. She left her stocking on, too tired to even try to take them off and flopped on the bed and closed her eyes. Sesshomaru got in next to her. "Merry Christmas" She yawned before dozing off. "Merry Christmas" He mumbled.
The two fell asleep together and at about four in the morning, Kagome woke up. Someone was trying to get into the bed next to her. She figured it was Rin or Shippou and scooted over. Right when she was about to fall back asleep, a large arm was around her…But it wasn't Sesshomaru's, his back was to her, so who the hell was next to her?
Slowly, she turned around. "Aaaaaaaaaah!" She screamed when she saw a drunken Kouga next to her. But, her scream made him scream which made them both scream together. Sesshomaru, who was peacefully sleeping until then clapped a hand over both their mouths. "Shut-up" He growled.
Kagome pulled Sesshomaru's hand off her mouth. "Kouga, what the hell are you doing in here?!" Kagome whispered harshly. "This isn't my room?" He slurred. "No! Why would I be in your room?!" She demanded in a shrill voice. Immediately, the wolf began smirking. "Don't answer that, get out" Kagome cut him off, pointing to the door.
He got out of the bed and walked to the door. "Merry Christmas!" He grinned. Kagome fell onto the pillow and closed her eyes. "Yeah, Merry Christmas" She muttered.
