Carlisle Cullen
Carlisle smiled as he watched his lover, a young Japanese woman; play with her adopted son, a fox demon, in the clearing. He had come to Japan after he was able to control his thirst, he could not bear being around the humans he had grown up with , knowing that he would out live them. So he had left, traveled to Japan a country full of war and most of all demons like him. He was prepared to live his life in solitude and repent for his sins.
What he did not expect was to meet the young woman that currently held his heart, in a figure of speech, nor did he expect to be welcomed with open arms by her traveling group. But he was and now he was happy, happier then he ever expected to be and happier then he deserved to be. He laughed as Kagome chased her, no their, son around the well, the thing that allowed his love to travel across time.
He smiled as he remembered her reaction to him finding out the truth about her. She was flabbergasted and a tad bit upset, why wasn't he freaking out? He smiled, he was a vampire with a human lover, and a demon son, anything was possible as far as he was concerned. He jumped when his son jumped onto his shoulder, "Tou-san. Help me!" He laughed as he shielded the young boy from the 'menace' that was his mother.
She ran over to them laughter dancing in her eyes, "Shippo-Kun that's not fair!" Shippo laughed and stuck out his tongue at her, "Nyaaa!" Kagome huffed in mock anger and stomped her foot in a childish way, "Carlisle-Kun!" He smiled at her causing her to smile back at the unasked question and nod. "Now, now Kagome-chan you're not being very matureā¦then again nether is Shippo. I think we should teach him a lesson." Shippo lost his grin and tried to leap away from his father figure but was easily caught by his firm yet gentle grip.
He let out a squeal of laughter as he was 'attacked' his parents. "Iiie~! S-stop it!" Kagome smiled as they fell to the ground in a heap of laughter and smiles. Her smile became a gasp as they both turned on her, "Nooooo! Traitor!" She gasped as they both assaulted her sides in a tickle war. Carlisle smiled down at his lover as she squealed and tried to get away.
It was five minutes later that they were piled in a heap of limbs on the ground, tired after their all out tickle war. Carlisle smiled as he ran his long fingers through her inky black hair; her head resting on his muscular chest, Shippo was curled in her arms taking a nap. Kagome hummed a light song as they basked in each others presence.
She was glad she was able to have these little moments of happiness, because she did not know how long they would last. The well's magic was fading fast and she knew she would have to make a choice soon. But for know she was content to go on enjoying the small moments that she could.
