Bonus chap. (continued)

Kagome confronts Shippo/ Inuyasha and Miroku's 'Race'

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

((((((((((((((((((Review)))))))))))))))))))))

Inuyasha had woken up Sonata in his 'special' way, he warned Shippo to cover his ears though before he started crying.

"Huh wha'!"

Sonata looked down to see Inuyasha tugging at the hem of her clothes.

"What are you doing up this late? EWWW Inuyasha!"

Shippo snickered quietly he had told Inuyasha that he had smelled, Inuyasha rolled his ears and grunted.

A few minutes later Inuyasha felt so refreshed he was actually in a good mood and played with Shippo for a few minutes before Sonata rocked them both to sleep.

Shippo joined Inuyasha in his 'bed' Inuyasha got more warmth from Shippo's tail being wrapped around him then he did from the blanket in the basket.

Before both fell asleep however, Inuyasha and Shippo began playfully fighting for the blanket, and then the fight really turned into a game, but Sonata had remembered how Kagome had gotten Inuyasha to sleep earlier, she got Inuyasha's pacifier and placed it in his mouth.

Inuyasha sat up sucking it for a few seconds before his eyes began to feel heavy and he fell back against Shippo and immediately after fell asleep.

'Wow I wonder what that thing is! It makes Inuyasha fall asleep in an instant…'

Before he could finish that thought Sonata had pulled out a second pacifier and he did the exact same thing and fell backwards. The scene was cute though Inuyasha securely wrapped in Shippo's tail, Shippo using Inuyasha's body warmth as a blanket since he had hogged it.

The next morning both woke up early, Shippo spite out the pacifier as soon as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and leaped out of the basket, Inuyasha rubbed his eyes and stretched while trying to sit up, then tried to climb out of the basket but struggled a little he slipped while climbing out and fell on his front while scraping his knee on the floor since the wooden planks could give anyone a good injury.

"Waaaahhh!"

Inuyasha cried quietly, Shippo's sympathy didn't come a moment to soon, he rushed to Inuyasha's side and cradled him while cooing him to calm down.

"A..ank goo Ippo!"

(Thank you)

"Your welcome Inuyasha! Are you ok?"

Inuyasha was still sobbing a little but he pointed to his knee to indicate where he was hurting.

"Aww Inuyasha got a boo-boo?"

Inuyasha nodded, Shippo bent over and kissed it, like his mother and Kagome used to do, then he saw some of Kagome's Band-Aid's on one of the shelf's and sprayed some disinfectant on the cut Inuyasha whimpered more when he felt the sting, Shippo patted his head and told him it was ok, then gently placed the Band-Aid over the now cleaned out wound.

Shippo bent down and carried Inuyasha outside, though Inuyasha familiar with every step they took still couldn't help but curiously glance around, and couldn't help but glee in happiness and reach for the sky like an idiot and giggled and clap.

Shippo found his behavior a little strange but it wasn't really annoying it was actually kind of cute, he knew even though as tough as he would like to act he still couldn't help but act like a baby.

Inuyasha then looked up to the sky again but then saw a mysterious figure float by, regular subconscious Inuyasha wasn't going to catch what he was about to say,

"Dada…."

For baby's Inuyasha's memory only Inuyasha saw a flash back of his father's face, there was lots of light behind him and it was real hot and the smell made him feel sick but he could smell his father's scent underneath all the chaos and it soothed him, along with the smell on of his mother, and the flow of her milk.

(He was also cranky because he was hungry)

A few seconds later he had absolutely no idea why his hands were raised up so high above his head, and his fingers in a position that was like he was trying to reach for something, he didn't remember opening his mouth either and closed it, Shippo though had heard it and asked,

"What do you mean 'dada'?"

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders, Shippo was still a little suspicious but just blew it off a few moments later and figured it was probably just his imagination.

Inuyasha was a little irritated, he knew there was a very good reason he had did that but he also knew there was some important memory he had forgotten but he didn't know what he just knew he forgot something.

Inuyasha then caught a familiar yet beautiful scent, it was Kagome.

"MOMMY!"

Inuyasha jumped out of Shippo's arms and ran to Kagome who he saw in the distance, he smiled sadly as he watched Kagome scope Inuyasha up in her arms and kiss, hug and coo to him.

Shippo still felt that tinge of jealousy when he heard Kagome say 'I love and missed you so much!' he wished she'd say that to him, but then he felt real bad for even thinking that, he excepted he probably wasn't going to be able to rely on Kagome's love to much longer since Inuyasha needed her a lot more then he did.

Shippo took one last look and sadly smiled and walked in the opposite direction in the forest to be alone.

Once Kagome had stopped kissing his face, he noticed Shippo walk off in the direction of the forest right before he disappeared from sight, he felt so sorry for him he felt like crying, Kagome noticed the look on his face fell and became concerned.

"Inuyasha what's wrong sweetie?"

"Ippo Ippo!"

Inuyasha pointed in the direction of the forest where he had just went.

Kagome was about to start walking in that direction when Inuyasha began fussing to be let down.

"Inuyasha what's the matter with you I'm going the right way aren't I!"

"Eh…mme…dow'!"

(Let me down)

"Why?"

"A..a one"

Was the single word Inuyasha said and to indicate what he was saying he pointed to Kagome and then pointed to the forest again.

Inuyasha wanted Kagome and Shippo to be alone, he didn't want to spoil any special time Shippo needed with Kagome with his bad habits.

"Are you sure?"

Inuyasha shock his head a little to strongly because he strained his neck and began rubbing it and muttering 'oww'.

"Inuyasha! Haha!"

Kagome patted his head and dropped him off back at the hut, Kagome could easily find him because of his demon aura.

'Don't hurry Kagome please!'

"I be back in a little while k'?"

"K."

He watched Kagome walk away but then felt someone's presence behind him.

"Well well, who this cute whittle baby?"

'Oh no not him!'

He felt two arms wrap around his waist as he was bounced into the air by a certain womanizing desperate for children monk.

"Who's the cutest smartest snugglest baby in the whole wide world!"

'I swear he'd better stop or else!'

"I see why Kagome loves you so much!"

'What's that supposed to mean!'

"Cute whittle baby! Cute whittle baby!"

Miroku began singing.

'I show you cute!'

Inuyasha fist went flying through the air and,

BANG

"Hmm I see you haven't changed a bit Inuyasha!"

Miroku's eyes were twitching and he was trying to keep the smile on his face and remember he was only a baby, and if he tried hitting him in his adult form anyway he'd get his ass kick then and possibly now, so Miroku played it safe and held Inuyasha a few inches away from his face.

Inuyasha decided to play the innocent baby act again.

"Honestly Inuyasha you were this ruff when you were a ba…"

Inuyasha began touching Miroku's face all over while making his eyes as big and cute as possible, while gurgling in his baby language.

Miroku found this very awkward but let him have his way, but then Inuyasha started crying. Miroku did whatever possible to settle him down, he laid his head on his shoulder, Inuyasha saw his pony tail waving around as he rocked him and felt this uncontrollable urge to tug it, he grasped both hands around it and pulled.

"AHHHHHHH!"

"Guh…Goo."

Inuyasha babbled.

"INUYASHA STOP THAT HURTS!"

Inuyasha stopped pulling but kept one hand on it though, but then he noticed the knot which held all of Miroku's robes together, and as skillful as he was with his hands hastily undid it.

Miroku was still moving around a lot from all the rocking, then slowly his robes fell gracefully to the floor until he noticed some girls looking at him and giggling in a flirtatious fashion.

He wondered if they were looking at him or Inuyasha but then he realized they WERE looking at him.

Inuyasha looked up and saw Miroku cover up his bare chest and legs, for his loin cloth was in perfect view.

Inuyasha snickered and then got an idea. Miroku looked down to see what Inuyasha was doing. Inuyasha's hands went to the tabs that were on the sides of his diaper, and he had a suspicion that this was not going to end well.

"Inuyasha! Don't please I'm begging you!"

Inuyasha gave him a big evil smile, then ripped off his diaper completely and began giggling and ran straight out the door.

Miroku panic struck only grabbed one robe to cover himself.

Meanwhile all this felt good to Inuyasha he had never felt so 'free'.

"INUYASHA GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!"

Inuyasha stopped for a moment, Miroku thought he was giving up.

"Aha so you've finally come you your sen…"

Inuyasha squatted down and Miroku had the world's best view of Inuyasha's buttocks. After which he sped of while yes skipping and laughing himself silly while waving his arms in the air to symbolize his shouts of 'FREEDOM!'.

Many shocked villagers saw this and stared after him, but them they saw a half naked monk follow shouting and then they began laughing finding much humor in the scene before them, even the most sourest old man in the village cracked a smile.

'Silly youngsters! Gotta have there freedom one way or another!'

But then Miroku ran past him but bowed first to show respect.

"Uh son don't you think you should tie that up there?"

Miroku didn't bother answering he just continued chasing Inuyasha.

'I wonder if that boy was his or not? Nah what kind of father can't keep up with their own kid!'

"INUYAAAASHHAAAAA!"

Inuyasha blew him a raspberry and because they were running so fast it blew backwards and hit Miroku directly in the face. Miroku hastily wiped it up and continued chasing him.

Kagome continued walking through forest in search of Shippo, she came to a small clearing where she saw a beautiful stream and flowers, so pretty yet gave you that clear isolated feeling at the same time.

It was then that she discovered Shippo sitting on the stream's edge just talking to himself, Kagome was very concerned because of how sad he sounded.

"….Maybe I won't be lonely, if I ever find a mate that is, and being with Inuyasha I've learned a little something about protecting right?"

Shippo asked nobody in particular.

"If not at least I'll always have Kagome's love to cherish in my heart! Even if it won't last forever and will end soon, Inuyasha needs it more then I do, he really went through more then I did."

Kagome began to get tears in her eyes.

'What on earth is he going on about! What does he mean "Even if my love won't always last!" I'll always love him no matter what and just because I'm caring for Inuyasha now doesn't mean I love him any less!'

"And besides if she does stop loving me I'll deserve it because once Inuyasha tells her what I did to him, she'll hate me and never forgive me, because she never lets anyone get away with it with out there being some consequence."

'What happened while I was gone!'

"I'll have to learn to fend for my self and not be so dependant on being loved, I know I'm probably not a very lovable demon at the moment but I suppose it's about time I grew out of that cute stage!"

Shippo began to walk away when he slipped and flipped in the air, Kagome ran from her hiding spot and caught him cradling him in her arms.

"Huh!"

Shippo looked up.

'Kagome!'

Shippo was very surprised she was there. Hadn't Inuyasha told her what happened?

"Shippo what's the matter?"

Shippo began to tear up, and then jumped out of Kagome's arms and sped away as fast as possible.

"SHIPPO WAIT!"

Shippo couldn't face her without having a mental breakdown, he was just too ashamed, too ashamed that he took more anger then was necessary out on Inuyasha. Why should she forgive him so easily?

She caught up with him soon enough though and found him crying really hard behind a big tree stump. Kagome approached him cautiously, so he wouldn't flee again.

"Shippo, please tell me what's wrong?"

Kagome said with a tone that clearly read she was about to cry, Shippo noticed this and felt worse but answered, not facing Kagome though.

"Why are you following me? Don't you hate me?"

Kagome let the tears fall this time.

"S-Shippo why would you think something like that?"

"Because I…I…WAAAAHHH AHHH AHH!"

Shippo couldn't finish at the moment he lost it completely and started crying again. Shippo felt two gentle arms wrap around his waist and felt the feeling of a human's warmth, Shippo looked up and saw Kagome crying, he looked back down in shame and cried into her shirt, Kagome held him tight so he wouldn't go running off again.

In between all Shippo's cries,

"I…sob….wa..was on'nie trying t-t-to ho-hold hi-im wah-when-he pu-shed me then I g..ot mad and then I r-ran off, he f-follwed me but I got real mad, but the-at time it wa-wa-sn't his fault!"

Kagome understood all of this and was curious as to why Shippo would act that way but she wasn't really mad, she knew Inuyasha no matter what age could tick somebody off enough to make them snap, she should know!

"M-my D-demon side got the b-better of m-e and I beat Inuyashaaaaa! I -d-didn't s-stop un-t-il I m-made him CRYYY WAAAAHHH!"

Shippo tried to run away again, but Kagome had a firm grasp on his hands, he tried with all his might to get away but it was no use, Kagome yanked him back towards her, she didn't mean to do it so hard but he was real strong!

'Oh no here it comes!'

Shippo noticed how much force she used in yanking him back towards her and though this was a for sure sign she was real angry. He cringed in fear and flinched and ducked down when he saw her hand coming towards him. Kagome of course noticed but gently cupped his cheek, and leaned close and kissed him on his cheek and embraced him tightly.

"Oh Shippo shhh!"

Kagome said as she rocked him, she could still hear him sobbing a lot, she pulled out her water bottle which was filled with a sports drink and thought that would calm him. And since he was crying so much it would be easy to get it in his mouth, slowly she pushed the bottle into Shippo's mouth, he began sucking, and slowly began to calm down, Kagome couldn't help but notice how this reminded her of how she fed Inuyasha with the bottle and thought it was kind of cute Shippo laying in her lap drinking from her bottle.

'Is Kagome….!'

But Shippo opened his eyes and saw what was in his mouth, Kagome smiled a small smile at him, and messaged his neck with two of her fingers that were supporting his head, he began to feel a little sleepy, in this position.

'Inuyasha's really lucky! I bet he's rocked to sleep like this every night, this is so comfortable.

"Shippo it's ok, I forgive you, and I don't hate you I still love you and always will no matter WHAT!"

Shippo still sucking on his bottle was about to retort when Kagome shoved the bottle further in his mouth, so he couldn't talk he just gave her a nod.

"K' I'm glad I got that through your head now Shhh you look exhausted! I don't even want to know how late you two went to bed last night and how early you got up!"

Shippo just continued to look at Kagome's forever smiling face.

'How can she forgive me? I did something really bad to the one she loves 'sigh' Kagome's forgiveness will never cease to amaze me!'

Kagome began to get up but still kept hold of Shippo's body.

"Come on sleepy head let's go back now."

Shippo merely nodded, then yawned in between a drink and leaned against Kagome's chest and fell asleep.

Kagome smiled and kissed him on his head.

"INUYASHA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING!"

Inuyasha and Miroku were still running, personally he hadn't a clue as to where he was going he just wanted to burn as much energy as possible, and this was downright fun for him.

Inuyasha wasn't really paying attention to the ledge up ahead when he slipped.

"WAAAAA!"

Inuyasha shouted as he flew in the air Miroku threw his staff and himself towards the edge, and Inuyasha grabbed on frightened of the waters currents that roared below, then his fingers began to slip and Miroku began to slide forward then,

SLASH

Inuyasha knew one for sure thing: He could NOT swim!

I have the same types of memory problems that Inuyasha has because I forget things just like that then I'll know or have a distant feeling I forgot something but won't remember what (Think of Harry Potter's Neville Long bottom's 'Memorible ball' know you forgot something but can't remember WHAT you forgot!)

Anyway hope you enjoyed the Chapter!
