Bundle of Joy

Eriko stared at Mizuko, snuggled tightly in Inuyasha's arms. "What're you gonna do with her?"

"Huh?" Inuyasha and Mizuko looked up at her with identical expressions of surprise. It was the cutest thing Eriko had ever seen.

"I-I mean, you aren't possibly thinking of bring her to school with you?" Eriko pressed.

Inuyasha looked down at Mizuko who preceded to look up at him. "Why not?"

"Well there are rules against this kinda thing, aren't there?" Eriko explained.

Inuyasha looked at her, "Not really. I checked. Also, this is an emergency."

"An emergency?" Eriko wondered and caught Kagome's darkened expression. She also happened to just notice how Kagome was clinging on to Inuyasha's shirt tightly.

"The murderer paid both of us a visit yesterday," Inuyasha answered, "Trying to kill me and merely telling Kagome, she's next. He told me that us kids reminded him of some unpleasant people. I'm not sure if that includes all of us but I'm pretty sure that Mizuko's not safe anymore."

Mizuko began playing with his forelocks.

"I don't think I'd be able to concentrate in class unless I could see Mizuko," Inuyasha announced, "And Kagome for that matter."

Usually Eriko would take this as a chance to make a comment but even she caught onto the mood.

"Kagome's really frightened by all this," Inuyasha looked at Kagome to add emphasis. He shifted Mizuko so he could hold her with only one hand and reached around Kagome.

Kagome was startled by this sudden movement but relieved she could feel Inuyasha's warmth once again. She smiled at him thankfully and he merely nodded in response. I really do love him.Kagome sighed. Even if he does still love Kikyo.

Eriko swallowed to keep herself from crying out in excitement at the picture. It was like something out of her dreams. Perfection.

When the trio joined up with the rest of the gang, Bankotsu instantly rose an eyebrow.

"It's an emergency," Inuyasha answered, "Her murderer is trying to knock us off one by one."

Bankotsu's eyes narrowed, "What makes you think that?"

"The murderer told him himself," Eriko whispered, "And basically told Kagome the same."

Sango gasped, "Have you guys told the police?"

Inuyasha and Kagome's expressions showed that that was a negative.

"Fine," Bankotsu snapped, "I don't see why I have to do everything."

Inuyasha looked down at Mizuko, "Wait, don't."

Bankotsu glared, "What do you mean 'don't'?"

Miroku nodded, "Your lives are in danger. We can't just not tell the police!"

Mizuko smiled up at her father, still playing with his hair.

He held her tight. "Mizuko isn't quite aware of the situation. Bringing the police into this would confuse her and they might force us to relocate or something. It...it might just be too much for her to handle. I'm just doing this with Mizuko's best interests at heart." He turned and looked at Kagome. "Besides, I think I can protect these two just fine by myself."

Bankotsu sighed in resignation and hung up just as the operator answered. "I hope you're right."

Eriko looked at her best friend, "If you're protecting them, who's protecting you, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha smirked in response, "Who says I need protection?"

Kagome looked up at him worriedly. She bit her lip. She just didn't like the sound of that at all. And, judging by the look on everyone else's face, she wasn't the only one.

"What a cute little girl!" Midori squealed the moment her eyes were set on little Mizuko.

Inuyasha instinctively hugged her protectively. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Is she your cousin?" Midori asked, wide blue eyes looking up at him as her blonde hair flew back.

Inuyasha instantly covered Mizuko's mouth as Kagome answered nervously, "Not really...she's well...sorta adopted..."

Midori cocked her head to the side. "Your sister...?"

"Well...she thinks she's my...daughter..." Inuyasha answered and the class, waiting for the teacher, gasped.

Kagome smiled nervously, "Mine...too..."

Midori glared at Kagome, "So what, you two going out?"

"NO!" they both blurted.

Inuyasha's hand was still placed over Mizuko's mouth as she started her favourite game of play with Daddy's hair. Inuyasha, having gotten used to it, continued to talk, "See...it just sorta happened okay."

The class seemed unconvinced but let it go. After mere seconds of watching Mizuko play with Inuyasha's hair, the girls squealed, "So cute!"

Inuyasha scowled and, removing his hand from Mizuko's mouth, handed her to Kagome.

"Meh!" Mizuko whined, reaching for Inuyasha, "Daddy!"

"AAAAWWW!"

Kagome giggled as she held Mizuko close. "Daddy doesn't wanna play anymore, kay?"

Mizuko looked up at Kagome and pouted, "Fine."

"KAWAII!"

"But Mommy will play with you," Kagome grinned.

Mizuko lit up, "Yay Mommy!" She turned to Inuyasha and blew a raspberry, "Mommy's way more fun than Daddy."

"AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Daddy doesn't really care."

Mizuko folded her arms, "Mizuko likes Mommy better than Daddy."

Inuyasha turned to Mizuko and rose an eyebrow, "Oh really?"

Mizuko nodded vigorously.

Inuyasha shrugged and turned away, "Then I guess Mizuko can just stay with Mommy forever and never see Daddy again." He looked over his shoulder, "Mizuko won't miss Daddy because she has Mommy."

Mizuko's eyes widened in horror. She looked up at Kagome. "D-daddy's not really leaving forever, is he?"

Kagome sighed and glared at Inuyasha, "Don't even joke like that with Mizuko.€"

Inuyasha rose an eyebrow, "Who said I was joking?"

Mizuko burst out into tears. Kagome tried to to mollify her while glaring at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, tell her that you're not leaving."

"But she likes you better than me, she probably wants me to go," Inuyasha would not let this go.

Mizuko shook her head, "Mizuko didn't mean it! Mizuko doesn't like Mommy better than Daddy! Daddy don't go!"

Inuyasha tried not to laugh as he gently took Mizuko away from Kagome. "Then I guess I won't leave after all."

"Really?" Mizuko began to wipe away her tears.

Inuyasha nodded, ruffling her hair, "Really, Daddy would never leave you, okay?"

Mizuko hugged him tightly, "Mizuko loves Daddy lots."

"AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!"

Inuyasha's face went deep crimson as her remembered that he was at school. Suddenly he wanted to bang his head against something hard.

Kagome laughed and he just glared in response.

"Oh!" Mizuko lit up like only a child could and added, "If Daddy left, Mommy would be very sad."

Kagome's eyes widened as the class 'aww'ed once again, Eriko especially loud. Inuyasha merely smirked in response.

"She'd get the-" Mizuko's voice was muffled as Kagome quickly grabbed Mizuko and made shushing sounds. Mizuko looked up at her and giggled.

Kagome cast a small glance at Inuyasha, wondering if he had actually gotten what Mizuko meant. She sighed in relief as he seemed to have not paid much attention to it. He probably figured it was something she had decided for herself or something...something she had learned on TV.

"Alright class, let's get down to- who the hell is that?" their teacher walked in and stopped and stared at the little girl nestled in Kagome's arms.

Mizuko looked at the teacher with mild interest.

"Um...this is Mizuko, she would very much like to learn 10th grade mathematics. Right, Mizuko?" Inuyasha answered.

Mizuko looked at her Daddy and nodded. "Mizuko very much wanna learn mad-eh-math-iks!"

"AAAAAWWW!" the class cooed.

The teacher snorted unimpressed.

"Maybe then Mizuko could help Mommy understand," Inuyasha laughed.

Mizuko giggled as Kagome glared, "Not funny at all, Inuyasha."

"Whatever," Inuyasha replied then turned to the teacher, "She'll be very good, honest."

Mizuko nodded, "Mizuko will be good. Very good."

"Please," both Inuyasha and Mizuko flattened their ears and begged with identical expressions.

Kagome joined in their chorus as did the rest of the class.

"I can't leave her at home anymore," Inuyasha added sadly.

The teacher was thrown back, he ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Fine," he relented, "But she better behave."

Mizuko grinned.
