Chapter 13

Soon the day flew by and it was the fifth of July. Everyday Inuyasha had taken Kagome lunch to her at work and on weekends he would stay all day getting to know his soon to be son. He and Kagome didn't talk much. Once Kagome got home from work she found Inuyasha chasing after Sota and Shippo. Once Shippo saw his mother he ran to her which caused both Sota and Inuyasha to approach her. Kagome looked at her son and asked, "Have you been behaving?"

"Yes!" her son yelled.

"We were just playing tag...mom left...she said she had some shopping to do." Sota said.

"Yeah, she was going to get Ayame's wedding gift for me, Hey Inuyasha." Kagome said as she made her way into the house.

"Can I go to Ken's house?" Sota asked.

"Umm...what did mom say?" Kagome replied.

"She said I can go as long as I get a rid over." Sota answered.

"Oh Inuyasha can you take Sota...I have to look for something." Kagome asked as she turned to face him.

"Yeah, I'll be back." he said as he pulled out his car keys.

"Thanks." Kagome said before walking into the house.

Inuyasha dropped Sota off at the address Sota gave him. Once Inuyasha got back he walked into the house and followed Kagome's scent to a closed door. He stopped in front of the door and knocked and waited to be let in. Once he heard Kagome say come in, he walked in and found Kagome looking through some children's cloth. Kagome turned to look at him before turning back to what she was doing. Inuyasha turned and saw Shippo playing with some blocks. Finally after the silence got to him he asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Mommy said we're going to a party tomorrow...I have to dress up." Shippo answered as he forgot about the blocks and ran over to Inuyasha.

"What kind of party?" Inuyasha asked as he turned to look at Kagome only to see her holding a black dress shirt with black dress pants for her son.

"We're going to a wedding, Ayame invited me." Kagome answered as she laid the cloth out.

"And you're taking him to a demon filled wedding?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah, I CAN protect him." Kagome hissed.

"Are you going alone?" he continued with his questions.

"Yes now drop it. Shippo honey pick up your toys...we're going to play in the dojo." Kagome said.

After doing what he was told Kagome and Shippo went to the back of the house and into the dojo. They were followed by Inuyasha which was still upset about his pup being around so many demons. 'Wait...he isn't my pup...so...but he will be and he will not be put in danger.' he thought as he was brought out of thought when Kagome was heard say, "Ok that was good honey but try to watch your back."

"What are you two doing?" Inuyasha asked.

"Mommy's teaching me how to fight." Shippo answered as he used one of his attacks on his mother.

"Kagome I don't want Shippo to go." Inuyasha said firmly.

"Sango...take over for me." Kagome said as she noticed Sango just walking in.

"Oh, ok but don't take long." Sango replied.

"I won't...Inuyasha lets talk out side." Kagome said as she began to walk out.

Inuyasha followed Kagome out and over to the god tree where she stared off in the some distant memory. Finally after standing around in silence Inuyasha took in a deep breath and said, "I was being serious."

"I know...but he is still coming with me." Kagome said.

"No he's not...it's too dangerous." Inuyasha growled.

"You're not his father and I AM HIS mother." Kagome hissed back.

"He will be my son and..." Inuyasha began to fight back only to have Kagome interrupt him and say, "Your right you will be his father but until then I will care for him with no one's approval, now leave." in a very cold voice.

"You're wrong you do need MY approval wench so the kid stays with me." Inuyasha answered.

"He is staying with me...no leave!" Kagome yelled before blasting him over by the shrine steps.

Inuyasha looked up only to find a barrier up and Kagome's retreating form. Inuyasha let out a frustrated growl before getting up and leaving. Once he got home he called Ms. Higurashi and asked her to convinced Kagome to allow him to take her. The next day Inuyasha was parked in front of the shrine steps waiting for her to come down. "Stupid wench probably left early." Inuyasha growled.

"I wouldn't do that...especially when I promised my mom that I'd take you with us." a very pissed off Kagome was heard.

"Inuyasha!" Shippo yelled happily.

"Hey runt...you two ready to go...I have a car seat in the back." Inuyasha asked and stated all in one breath before Kagome could say a word.

"Yes, now let's go before we're late." Kagome bit back as she carefully got into the back with her son. Kagome had bowered one of Sango's evening gowns and was glad that she had a simple one.

"The address?" he asked.

"Here...now hurry up." she hissed as she handed him the invitation.

After sitting in and watching the wedding they drove to the after parties location. Once they got there Kagome picked up her son and gave him the gift to hold. After waiting in line for a while Kagome finally reached the two with Inuyasha by her side. Kagome smiled as she walked up to the newly weds and said, "Congratulations you guys."

"Here...mommy said to be good and to give you this." Shippo said as he handed Ayame the gift.

"Thank you sweetie...Kagome he's adorable." Ayame said.

"How is he your son?" Koga asked not beating around the bush.

"It's a long story that I'm sure Ayame will explain later...oh this is Inuyasha...Inuyasha this is Koga." Kagome said as she introduced the two guys.

"Hey mutt face." Koga said.

"Shove it wimpy wolf." Inuyasha growled back.

"Ok...we have a table for you guys reserved so that you'll be closer to us...talk to you later." Ayame said as her parents came up.

"Ok..." Kagome said as they walked away. After they were far enough away form Koga and Ayame Kagome turned to Inuyasha and asked, "How do you know him?"

"His dad works for mine...we never really got along." Inuyasha answered.

"Mommy I'm hungry." Shippo said.

"Don't worry honey...we'll eat in bit ok?" Kagome replied.

"Come on lets find our seats." Inuyasha said as he led the way.

After seating down for a while the plates were served and the ball began. Kagome watched as everyone around her danced and had a great time. 'Geez...and hear I thought I wouldn't have to sit around.' she thought. Inuyasha noticed the far off look in her eyes and turned to her. Finally after fighting with his inner self he asked, "Would you like to dance?"

"What about Shippo?" Kagome answered.

"Then we should go...it's late and I'm sure he would love to be in his own bed." Inuyasha replied.

"Ok...let's go." Kagome said as she stood up without waking her sleeping boy.

"Don't you want to say good bye?" Inuyasha asked.

"No...I just want to go home." she answered in a tried voice.

Inuyasha drove Kagome home and carried both her and Shippo up to there room. After words he said good bye to Ms. Higurashi and left. He couldn't believe how hard she was making it for him but didn't blame her one bit. As the weeks went by Kagome worked as much as she could before she was relieved of her job to concentrated on school. It was a week before school and Kagome was at the mall alone. She had just finished her shopping when she felt that she was being followed. Finally after reaching her car she said, "Show your selves or leave me the fuck alone."

"Well it seems my pet has gotten stronger. Did you miss me." a familiar cold voice was heard.

'No...It can't be.' she thought as a barrier went up as she turned to face the voice. Kagome dropped her keys once she saw the familiar looking man. After quickly looking away she hissed out in an emotionless voice, "Leave me alone pig."

"The name is Haku...how about I take you to dinner. Then you can take me to our son." he growled.

"You will never go near him and you will stay the hell away form me and my family if you want to live." Kagome warned.

"So you've become quiet a bitch...how amusing. But I will not leave you alone just yet pet...for now this is good bye." Haku growled before leaving Kagome alone.

Kagome quickly put her stuff in the car and a cloaking spell on her car so that he wouldn't be able to follow her. After Kagome got home she placed her stuff away and went out back to train notice once saying a word to anyone but her son. After a while mama Higurashi turned to Sango while she and Inuyasha watched Shippo and said, "Would you go talk to her dear. I don't think she had a good time."

"Ok...Shippo stay here with Inuyasha...I'll be back." Sango said as she got up and walked out. Sango found Kagome in the dojo listening to 'Hate (I really don't like you)' by Plain White T's. Kagome turned to Sango as she stopped what she was doing and said, "He's out...he found me at the mall." as she formed a barrier around the whole shrine.

"Who?" Sango asked.

After Kagome told Sango what happened she went up stairs and called Sesshomaru to see what could be done. After words she locked her self up with her son in the room and strengthen the protection spell she had placed on him years ago.
