Chapter 12. Company
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Inuyasha sat in his high chair while watching Kagome make dinner, he was real bored and hungry.
"I know you're hungry I'm almost done."
'Yeah that's what you said 5 minutes ago!'
"Stop being so impatient I would let you free only you manage to get yourself in trouble every time I do that, so until you give me a reason to trust you then I'm going to have to watch you like a hawk!"
"Here drink this."
She gave him some juice through his bottle, he still wasn't able to hold the bottle on his own which also made him upset but he may have had the ability to crawl real fast but when it came to his motor skills he needed extra practice his hands were so tiny.
After another 5 minutes the food was ready and Kagome was setting the table for everyone, she was expecting the rest of her family to be back any minute now.
She was thinking about her other friends in the feudal era,
'Sango and Miroku must be wondering why've we been back here so long.'
'I'll have to go back for a short visit eventually and let them know we're fine but of our situation with…'
Her thoughts were interrupted,
"Alright alright I'll feed you, keep your diaper on sheesh!"
Inuyasha was tugging on Kagome's sleeves and gently hitting his little fists on her hands trying to wake her up out of her daydreaming.
'Is something wrong with you or what?'
She had finished feeding him and he noticed she looked a bit gloomy about something. Then out of the blue she grabbed him into her arms and held him tight, she had a few tears roll down her cheek, he could tell how sad she was and so he decided to just keep quiet and let her hold him.
Kagome sat in a soft arm chair and rocked him, he didn't realize how sleepy he was until he started closing his eyes but tried to keep them open but he eventually gave in.
Just then Kagome heard her mother talking outside and her mother knew Kagome was in the room where she could here her.
"Oh sure Kagome's just upstairs right now let me get her come in come in."
'Oh god'
Kagome ran as fast as she could up the stairs to her bedroom and locked it.
It was a good thing that Inuyasha had his pacifier in his mouth or else a quick wake up like that would've caused a lot more commotion. He was still a bit fussy being woken up from a good nap. Kagome began trying to put him to sleep again, but then there was loud bang at the door.
"Kagome it's me"
"Oh thank goodness!"
"Mama why'd you let them in? You know what could happen if they see Inuyasha!"
"I know but I had been avoiding letting them in the house and If I didn't just get it over with soon then they would've grown even more suspicious then they are now."
"Here take Inuyasha and just try to make him go to sleep it'll be better that way and just try and make sure he doesn't wake up!"
"And if you need me again just shout ok?"
"Uh sure."
"I'll go deal with them and get them out as quickly as possible!"
Inuyasha began fussing for Kagome,
"Inuyasha quiet if my friends know you're here they'll never leave!"
"Mommy."
Inuyasha's eyes began to water, Kagome almost got lost in one of his cute fits,
"I'll be back soon, please behave!"
Something else scared her she heard her friends talking to someone else downstairs but it wasn't Sota or Grandpa's voice it was,
'Oh nooooo!'
"Who are you?"
"Are you Kagome's 'secret' boyfriend?"
"I am not interested in Kagome sorry."
Eri stood back in surprise.
"I am her whelp's older….."
"ERI, AYAMI, YUKA!"
"HOJO?"
"Hey Kagome, if you don't mind me asking this but….."
'When will he learn that I don't want to be together with him!'
"…..is there something burning in the kitchen?"
'HEH! Oh no I forgot to turn off the stove!'
Kagome sped to the kitchen quickly, the food wasn't completely ruined but she wasn't going to feed Inuyasha burnt food. Just then Sota walked in.
"Hey sis we're home is Inuyasha al……"
Kagome grabbed him and dragged him upstairs.
"Sota stay up stairs with mama while I get them out of here!"
"Please?"
"Ok ok calm down I'll do it!"
Kagome ran down stairs but when she passed her room again she could hear Inuyasha still crying.
"MOMMY….I..UHAN…..MOMMY!"
"I know sweet heart she'll be back soon I promise!"
"Please don't cry."
Kagome saw her mother try to calm Inuyasha in the same way she did but it wasn't working unfortunately.
'Inuyasha I'll be back soon!'
"Hi guys! What are you doing here?"
"We just stopped by to say hi and see how you were doing, we heard about your little family emergency……"
Kagome saw her grandfather standing right beside her when she grabbed him into the nearest room.
"GRANPA WHAT'D YOU TELL THEM!"
"I only told them that you……."
BANG
Kagome dropped to the floor, looking like she was having a seizure.
"OH no Kagome are you going into septic shock again!
Eri suddenly said.
"Uhhh yeah I mean no, hahaha, so how've you guys been? How've things been at school?"
"Great the tests are becoming less tense and it seems the teachers are finally giving us breaks in school!"
'Hopefully that will mean the same for me!'
"Kagome? Who's crying up stairs I could've sworn I heard a baby upstairs."
Hojo looked up stairs with extreme curiosity.
"Uhh I didn't hear anything!"
"BABY YOU GUYS HAVE A BABY HERE? WHAT ARE WE ALL WAITING FOR LET'S GO SEE IT!"
Yuka shouted excitedly.
"Uh maybe we should leave it alone right now, it sounded cranky."
Ayumi was always the wiser less loud one of the 3.
"AYUMI STOP BEING SUCH A SPOIL SPORT LET'S GO!"
With that she was forcefully pulled upstairs in which Kagome sped with amazing speed ahead of them.
"Wait guys let's go down stairs and talk please?"
"Come on Kagome we can do all that later!"
Before anyone could stop Eri she had already opened the door.
"AWWWWWWWWWW look how cute he is!"
"LOOK AT HIS WHITTLE BABY CHEEKS!"
"LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL HIS EYES ARE!"
"He's going to be some cutie for the ladies someday!"
Hojo proudly announced.
"WHO'S A PWEETY SWEETY DARLING WHITTLE BABY!"
Kagome and Her mother stared at all the fussing stunned that they didn't notice anything, of course since Kagome's mother had heard the commotion outside, she had enough time put his baby bonnet on, And to hush him up he had his trusty pacifier with him too, but when he saw Kagome come in he spit it out and began screaming.
" WAAAAHHHH AHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH MOMMY!"
"KAGOME!"
All 3 of her friends said at the same time.
"Kagome did I just here that baby call you 'mommy'?"
Hojo asked with a note of disappointment in his voice.
Before Kagome answered him she ran over to Inuyasha and held him securely in her arms, he clung to her for dear life.
"Mommy."
"Shhhhhhhhhhh, it's ok I'm here now."
'That's right you hobo freak she's MINE! And you can't have her! So you can sulk all you want!'
Inuyasha loved it when Kagome rocked him this way. Since he didn't have his pacifier with him he caught back on to his old habit and began sucking his thumb,
Kagome smiled and kissed his forehead.
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
Everyone in the room said.
"Is that violent two timing boyfriend of yours the father!"
Hojo looked like he was praying he wasn't.
Inuyasha smacked his hand over his forehead.
While still rocking Inuyasha, she explained to her friends that the baby wasn't hers but he was adopted and that she was now his mother since he took the most liking to her, and screamed when anyone else would hold him.
Her mother stared at her in amazement as to how fast her daughter could come up with such a descriptive lie off the top of her head which led her to wonder about other things but she blew that out of her mind.
"Kagome he looks real tired why don't you go lay him down in my room it's kind of cold in here and my rooms warmer and the bed's more comfortable!"
"We'd probably better be going to, it was nice seeing you Kagome!"
Yuka said.
"See ya around Kagome!"
Eri said.
"I hope we'll get to see each other more often and sorry Higarashi for our rude intrusion!"
Ayumi replied.
"Oh it's no problems girls, you guys have a good evening!"
"Bye Kagome, I hope to see you soon!"
"Bye everyone!"
A few minutes later:
Inuyasha had to eat some canned baby foods again but he didn't complain this time.
"Whew that was close and glad that's over!"
"I'm sorry Inuyasha we had to let them in sometimes they won't be here often so don't worry!"
Inuyasha still had a grumpy expression, and keh'd Kagome.
"IS MY SWEETY PIE CRANKY? OHHHH I'VE GOT YOU, GO TO SLEEP NOW BABY."
He didn't hesitate this time he leaned forward and fell once again into a peaceful sleep.
"Mmm….ommy."
Inuyasha gurgled out.
Kagome was still rocking him and he woke up to see her smiling face as she leaned over and kissed his cheek.
Not to long later she also joined him in sleep and they once again shared a peaceful night together in there dreams, where they were forever relaxing happily in each other's arms.
