Chapter 11
Foxgem: So sorry it has been such a long time. I guess I need to pay attention more. College is easy but the complex relationships are taking a toll. Let me just ask, At what age do guys stop being immature?
Chapter 11
Miroku leaned over and shut the power off. Then he slowly leaned back in his chair.
"Miroku, are you okay?"
Miroku turned to look at Inuyasha, "Am I okay? I just found out I am going to be a father! How do you think I am?"
"Uh…Miroku, where are you going?" Inuyasha asked as Miroku grabbed his coat.
"I am going to Sango's house and kicking out your future wife and sister in-law. I need to take care of this now." Miroku said putting on his coat.
Inuyasha ran to Miroku and grabbed him, "You can't! We have to pretend that we didn't hear. Come on, we are both going to get killed the moment you open up your big trap and tell them about the bug in that room. We have to wait for Sango to tell you."
"ARE YOU DEAF? That woman is having my babies. I am not going to pretend like I didn't hear anything!" Miroku tried to shake off Inuyasha.
Inuyasha growled as he pinned Miroku against the wall, "Are you nuts? Do you realize that by going in there now could mean that you might lose her forever? Calm down and we will form a plan."
"How? How can I just pretend? This is too big to just ignore!" Miroku shouted.
"This is what is right for Sango. We need her to tell you. It is only fair. She needs to get the courage to do so. Let her prepare herself so when you say you'll marry her now and be that kid's father she will jump into your arms and fall in love with you more. This is what Sango's needs." Inuyasha growled.
Miroku looked at Inuyasha's face. "I didn't say I was going to marry her!"
Inuyasha threw Miroku against the couch knocking it backwards. "You are going to marry her. That kid inside of her needs a father Miroku. You heard her. She needs help raising this kid and not be a sometime parent. There are a lot of responsibility that comes with being a parent. Take some responsibility, Miroku!"
"This isn't easy for me, okay?" Miroku shouted.
"Do you think it is easy for Sango, then? Why should you get off scotch free and her stuck with having to raise the kid." Inuyasha looked at the floor. "Could you stand it if Sango married someone else, and that someone else raised your kid as his own? Could you, Miroku?"
"What are you talking about? Sango is mine. She will always be mine and that kid is half mine. No one could do that. That is mine." Miroku growled.
Inuyasha shook his head, "Miroku you need to step up or else Sango will be kicking you out of her life and the baby's. What are you going to do?"
Miroku sighed and rubbed his face, "I am only 18. I am too young to be a father…but Sango…oh my gosh…Sango. Dang it, Inuyasha! How can I possibly wait for her to tell me?"
Inuyasha sat next to Miroku, "You could hurry the process along, you know. Like, hold her all the time and tell her you love her…or propose on a special date."
"Pro-propose?" Miroku swallowed, "I don't know if I can do it."
"What were you going to do when you walked out of here?" Inuyasha asked.
"I was going to march in there and tell her I would always be there for what she needed. I would…oh my…I was going to tell her that I wanted the kid and that I would like the chance…to-to be a good husband and father. " Miroku said staring at Inuyasha.
"See? You already know you want to. It's okay. You will great Miroku." Inuyasha said smiling.
Miroku sighed shakily and leaned back on the couch. "So, I am just supposed to be all mushy until she tells me?"
"Basically." Inuyasha said smiling.
"This sucks.."

Next Morning…
Kagome stretched and sighed when the smell of breakfast hit her nose. Kagome sat up and rubbed her eyes. Looking around the room Sango and Rin were still asleep. Kagome looked at the clock and smiled. It was 9:00! She was able to sleep in for 3 hours. SCORE! Kagome stood up and walked downstairs. The smell of breakfast was heavenly. Sango's mother was a saint!
Kagome stretched and yawned as she walked into the kitchen and then she froze. Miroku was sitting at the kitchen table looking paler than the walls and Inuyasha was cooking. HE WAS COOKING!!
Kagome squeaked as she covered herself. "What are you doing here?"
"Sango's parents left for work and I thought you girls would be starving so I decided to cook you girls breakfast." Inuyasha pouted, "Don't I get a hello kiss?"
Kagome stared at him. Kagome was in distress. Her breath was disgusting and she looked like a wreck. When Kagome didn't respond Inuyasha moved forward for his kiss, but Kagome snapped out of it and held up a hand. "Not right now you don't! You know a little warning might have been nice." Kagome glared at him.
Inuyasha laughed, "Didn't you see the letter? It is on Sango's door."
Kagome groaned, "No I didn't. I was still waking up and that food smells to good to be resisted. Hold on, I am going upstairs and getting ready. Be back." Kagome sighed as she turned away from the food.
Kagome walked back up the stairs and went back into Sango's room. Kagome shut the door and read the letter. It was short and sweet and so loveable. Kagome woke up the girls and told them what awaited them down stairs as she made it to the tub.
Half an hour later Kagome was ready, Rin was in the shower and Sango was doing her make-up. Kagome went down stairs to claim her food. When she got into the kitchen she froze. The boys were gone. Kagome looked around the kitchen wondering if it was just her imagination. The food was even gone.
Kagome sighed and went to go get cereal. She had not taken 5 steps before a pair of arms came around her waist pulling her up against a strong body. "Hello, darling." Kagome said smiling. "Are you ready for that kiss?"
"You have no idea." Inuyasha growled in her ear. Inuyasha turned her around and pulled her into a fierce kiss that made Kagome smile.
After they broke away to get their breath back Kagome laughed, "Okay, so where is my breakfast?"
Inuyasha growled again as he kissed her neck, "You took too long so I had to put them in the oven to keep them warm. You know, my breakfasts are better when they are fresh and not reheated."
Kagome reached up and whispered in his ear, "We'll try that when we have our own sleepover, huh?"
Inuyasha groaned this time, "Kagome, you can't say that to me. It is painful enough to have you kiss me back so ardently, but when you are trying to be seductive it is just plain mean of you. My body can't take the abuse."
Kagome just laughed as she gave him one last peck on the cheek and then left to go get the breakfast out of the oven. Inuyasha sat down at the table smiling as he watched her. This is exactly where Kagome was meant to be. She looked so cute when she came down and she was still in her pj's. Her hair was so messed up and her face looked so young. Inuyasha smiled happily as he imagined her in his kitchen and taking care of his babies.
Rin stumbled into the kitchen and immediately froze. The looks the flew between her sister and Inuyasha made her feel like she was interrupting something. Rin cleared her throat so her presence would be notified.
"Good morning Rin! How do you feel?" Inuyasha asked smiling at her.
Rin smiled and nodded politely. Then Rin went to stand next to her sister as she helped get breakfast on the table. Kagome gave her a quick hug before returning to getting breakfast out of the oven.
Inuyasha leaned back in the chair and studied the two. Izayoi had dropped hints last night that he needed to watch the video when Kagome and Izayoi talked and he was glad he did. Kagome and Rin really did look like sisters at first glance but if you watched the two girls long enough you begin to notice things. They were so different when it came to other people.
Kagome and Rin went through the same things and yet it was Rin who gave up speaking. Kagome had tons on her plate but still learned somehow to trust in him and in other people. Kagome was the pillar that Rin needed.
Inuyasha sighed as he watched Miroku pace while they had waited for the girls to get down, but the moment that Rin showed up he literally ran up to where Sango was. Inuyasha shook his head. Poor, stupid fool! If he wasn't careful, he was going to be booted out the front door. Why couldn't he just face up and take responsibility? What was wrong with having a baby with the woman you loved? Sure, you probably should wait for the wedding, but when do it out of marriage it is a risk that you willingly take.
"Here we go!" Kagome said smiling as she placed a huge plate in front of Inuyasha and laid out the other plated heaped with food…except for two. Kagome and Rin sat down at those two places. Inuyasha stifled a growl as he cleared his throat and looked at the girls, "Why don't you have more on your plate? I did make enough food for a whole army."
Kagome leaned over and kissed his cheek, "I know. You are always so sweet, but Rin and I can't possibly eat more than what is on our plates now. This is even pushing it." Kagome then began to eat.
Inuyasha was having a hard time trying to keeping himself under control. Kagome had half of a pancake, a little hash browns, a table spoon of egg, and a half glass of orange juice. Rin had more but a whole pancake wasn't that much more. Inuyasha got up stiffly and went over to the counter and grabbed a handful of bacon and another pancake and then got another plate and put more eggs and bacon on it. Then he went back to the table and set down the eggs and bacon in front of Rin and the pancake and bacon in front of Kagome.
"Darling, what is this?" Kagome asked confused.
Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her neck, "You are to finish everything before you are allowed to get up from this table."
Kagome gaped, "I can't possibly finish all of this!"
"You can, and you will." Inuyasha said sitting down.
Rin pounded on the table and Inuyasha just eyed her, "You too, Rin. You both are just skin and bones. You look like you just walked out of a concentration camp. It is time for you guys to fatten up a bit. It wouldn't hurt any if you did put some meat on your bones. Rin has more than you, Kagome, but she still needs more if she intends to be great at soccer."
Rin sat there flabbergasted while Kagome tried to get a hold on her thoughts, "I am not fighting you on this, Inuyasha. We eat as much as we can but there is no point to this method of yours."
Inuyasha started to eat his food as he commented, "Kagome, I would like it very much if you could try to eat as much as possible."
Kagome sighed and turned to Rin giving her the death glare. "Just eat as much as possible Rin." Kagome then turned to her food.
Rin poked the food for a minute before digging in. By the time Sango and Miroku came down the stairs Inuyasha was done eating and cleaning up. Kagome and Rin sat back in their chairs groaning. Their plates were empty except for the extra plate that Inuyasha had given them. They had about 10 pieces of bacon left, three fourths of a pancake, and 2 eggs worth of scramble eggs between them.
"Inuyasha, I can't possibly eat any more! My stomach is crying!" Kagome groaned with Rin nodding in agreement.
Inuyasha chuckled and went over to clear the places as he kissed Kagome's head, "Thank you for humoring me."
"What are you guys up to?" Sango said brightly as she floated in the room and began eating. Miroku stumbled behind her and sat down without saying a word.
"You guys took forever! Can't you two wait until we are out of the house at least?" Inuyasha asked exhausted.
Sango sniffed, "You are just jealous that you aren't getting any."
Kagome and Rin's mouth popped open and just hung there. Inuyasha laughed, "I expected that answer from Miroku, but you? Sango, you are full of surprises this morning."
Sango smiled, "Why, thank you."
Inuyasha hit Miroku on the back that sent him forward. Inuyasha about busted a gut when Miroku glared at him. "Okay, I get it! Just as soon as Rin and Kagome grab their stuff I will be out of your hair."
"Why? Where are we going?" Kagome asked curious.
"I am taking you home. I thought you two wanted to go home right away. I mean with your mom being so strict I thought she wanted you home as soon as possible. If not we could always go somewhere." Inuyasha said cleaning up.
Kagome looked at Rin. She didn't want to face mom just yet. Kagome cleared her throat trying not to sound scared. "Uh…we are okay. We told her we weren't going to be home till late, besides, Rin practices today at the park anyway."
Rin groaned as she leaned back in her seat. Kagome smiled at her, "You will want to play in an hour or two."
"How about you guys get in the car and I grab your things?" Inuyasha offered making the two girls jump up from the table.
"Uh…it's okay! We will get our stuff and put it in the car." Kagome said blushing.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Uh… if you hadn't noticed I have already been in that room and seen everything."
Kagome and Rin blushed horribly and they threw their napkins in his direction, "Good heavens! Don't bring it up!" Kagome shouted as they bolted for the stairs.
Inuyasha laughed before returning to his work.
