Another chapter up on the same day, hope you enjoy your second double updates! XD
Chapter 35
We pull into a driveway that led to an amazing looking home. The driveway is long to allow many visitors and leads to a small circle of a garden with a circular bench surrounding it. There's a brick stairwell leading to the white front door in the center of the blue paneled home. There are white window frames all along the walls and it looks to be a three story home, but the first floor doesn't have any doors or windows.
Inuyasha speaks up, "There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms, each bedroom has its own full bathroom and there is a half bath downstairs by the family room. We used to all fit by Miroku and I sharing a room while Sango and Rin sharing a room. Kouga and Ayame always slept together, although I believe it was unwillingly on Kouga's part, and Sesshomaru has his own room. Now that they all have their own places, we can move things around a bit and everyone will have their own room." I nod in amazement while he continues, "The beach is the backyard and I'm sure you'll love it."
He parks the car and turns it off while I look back at Megumi to see her wide eyes taking everything in. I smile as I look at her happy face, "Inuyasha, have you ever realized that we haven't ever tried putting Megumi in water? Not even to a pool, how do we know she'll like it here?"
I can hear Inuyasha laughing and I get out of the car to help Megumi out of her car seat again. "Kags, are you serious? She's half dog-demon, we all love to swim."
"Well you never know…everyone's different."
He pulls out all of our bags and walks over to me with a smirk, "She'll love it here, trust me." He kisses me on top of my head and says, "Mind getting the door, my hands are kind of full." I balance Megumi with one arm while turning the nob to the front door. Once it opens my jaw drops, this place is absolutely gorgeous! "Um Kags…in order for me to bring in our bags, you need to move and get inside the house." I blush and step in quickly while listening to him chuckle. "Follow me, I'll show you to your room. Mom said she already had it set up for Megumi as well."
I look back at the living room one more time in amazement. There's a sliding glass door towards the back of the room that shows off the most amazing view of the beach that I've ever seen! White plush couches with red and white pillows in the corners frame off a section of the living room with a dark brown coffee table in front of it with small candles on top along with a couple of shells that were probably picked up right off of the beach outside. On the wall facing the couches is a very large screen television with a short and long bookcase underneath. To the right is an open arch that leads into the gourmet kitchen that shows sterling silver appliances, light wood cabinets, and beige marble countertops. To the left is the staircase that Inuyasha is currently leading me up to.
Inuyasha informs me, "Your room is right next to Sango's and your bathroom is connected to each of your bedrooms. Miroku's room and my room are directly below yours. There's a small hallway behind the staircase that leads to our rooms. You can feel safe from Miroku that way; you'll hear footsteps coming up the stairs before he can try anything perverted." I burst out laughing at the idea; they probably had that room custom made for him for that very reason. "Before I show you what your room looks like, I want to show you the game room. It used to be another family room type thing, but that's what we converted it to."
He nods his head to the right and I turn away from the bedroom doors to see two doors. I go to open the one on the far wall and see a bunch of beanie bag chairs, another large screen TV, and every game system known to mankind in the entertainment system holding them all neatly inside. Large skinny glass doors show off all the games that they own here. Towards the back wall is a refrigerator and a snack machine without the money deposit. "We don't have to pay for the snacks, we just use it to store whatever snacks we have neatly. Whenever one area runs out, we go buy a pack and refill it. In the fridge is a bunch of cans of soda and juices. The other door you saw by the patio is the fifth bathroom. Whenever we wanted to have a tournament or game day, everything we would need is all right here."
I laugh and say, "That is so totally awesome! Now, can I see our new room? I'm anxious to see what it looks like; everything else so far has looked like a masterpiece." He smirks and walks back over to the door on the left; he looks at me to add a moment of dramatic suspense and I feel like hitting him with one of the suitcases. Once he opens it, my eyes grow wide. The walls are a pale beige color with pictures of the beach and pelicans hanging on the wall. My full size bed is towards the far wall with the headboard and footboard looking like sea shells while being covered with a sky blue comforter and off white pillow. The closet is on the same side as the door and the door which I'm guessing is to the bathroom is in between the closet and the foot of my bed. There's a dresser on the other side of the balcony doors, with my bed on the other side of them, and on top of the dresser is a small changing station for Megumi. That was very thought out, space saving and functional. Megumi's new crib matches mine and is right next to the dresser.
Inuyasha puts down the suitcases and says, "Oh there's a couple more things." He walks over and kneels down to reach under the bed; he pulls out two very large drawers. "We got you a bed that had plenty of drawer space. Once can be for Megumi's clothing and the other for her toys. That way you can still have your own room while Megumi can too. That's not all though, just hold on a sec." He pushes back both of the drawers and stands up to reach over to a wall; now that I look at it, why is there a rectangle on the wall…oh my goodness…He pulls a small section out of the wall and pulls down two legs out of that as well. "Mom said you need space to enjoy your room, but how every girl needs their own desk. So, she had it designed that your desk stores into the wall and you can pull it out whenever you want to."
I put Megumi down on the soft sand colored carpet and run over to hug Inuyasha. "This is the most amazing place ever; no one has ever put so much thought into something for me before. I absolutely love it, it's all so perfect. I love your mom; tell her I thank her so…so much." I can feel him smile into the crook of my neck before his head shoots up and he gasps.
"Kags look…" I look over and see Megumi standing while looking at us. He kneels down with his hands outstretched while I get the camcorder out of my bag as quickly as I can, "hey there baby girl, come on you can do it…come on Megumi." As I hit record, she takes her first step towards Inuyasha…and then another. "That's a girl; come on you can do it." Slowly, but surely, she makes it to Inuyasha's knee. She wobbles a little, but Inuyasha gathers her up into his arms and spins her while standing up because she has taken her first steps. "Who's my little girl, I'm so proud of you!"
"Da da!"
With the camera still rolling, I ask, "Did she just say…"
"Da da!"
Inuyasha looks at the small girl in shock and I see how much love floods into his eyes at hearing these words, she's just learned her next word. I smile in pride while I realize that she views Inuyasha as her father. He looks over to me, not knowing what to do. I giggle while I catch all of this on tape; he seems to recover from his shock while he blows a raspberry into her tiny stomach, making her squeal and shriek in a pure laughter only a baby can achieve. This is my little family…now the only question is…is that what Inuyasha wants…
Sooo? What do you all think? I was trying to put in enough details so that you can visualize the house in your head. If you have any ideas on how to help me do better with that, don't be shy and let me know so I can fix it for future readers. Or if you have any ideas on what should happen next, don't forget to let me know those ideas either. It's thanks to those ideas that I'm getting chapters up as quickly as I am! If you give me reviews, comments, or ideas; the help that I get from you all is what gets me to write as quickly as I have been lately. Keep it up and I'll do my best to keep this speed up as well!
