A Mighty Feast

"There exhausted," I whispered putting Kikyko down to bed. I pulled the sheets over her and Inuko. "Yeah," InuYasha said touching a hand to Inuko's head.

I laid down next to Kikyko and touched a hand against her. InuYasha laid next to Inuko. "Sorry about earlier," I told him, touching Kikyko's hair. She rolled over and her hands clung to my sleeves.

InuYasha looked at me and touched his hand to mine. "Get some rest Kagome," he said, pulling the sheets over Inuko. I put my head down next to Kikyko and looked over at InuYasha.

He leaned in and kissed me.

"Mmm…" I shifted to my side and rubbed my eyes. The kids were screaming and running around the house; I opened my eyes and shifted to my back. "Great!" I mumbled to myself pressing my hand over my eyes.

"Huh, momma sick?" Kikyko asked leaning over me. I froze in my spot for a second and peeked at Kikyko through my fingers. She blinked and looked at me. I wrapped my arms around her and grabbed her pulling her around me. "Ha, I'm not sick…" I told her smothering her with kisses. She giggled and nuzzled close to me. Unlike Inuko, Kikyko was really affectionate.

Inuko looked at me and blinked. "Nooo way…" He shouted when he noticed me smile at him. He ran and hid behind his father's leg. "What's with you?" he said looking down at Inuko. He had a basket of laundry in his arms. "She's going to smother me," he pointed over at me. "Ha ha, well I think she got to Kiki first," InuYasha said striding across the room. "Need help!" I asked him pulling the sheet off me. Kikyko rolled over and shifted to her feet.

"Momma I help too," she said taking the sheets from me. "Here lets fold it together," I told her teaching her how to fold the sheets. "Sure," InuYasha replied, wrapping a bandana over his ears.

"I have a better idea," I said crawling over towards Inuko. He was scared I was going to smother him like Kikyko, so he ran and hid behind his father again. I laughed and shook my head, "Inuko why don't you and your father go fishing and leave the cleaning to me?" I told him.

He smiled and came around InuYasha's leg. "I like that idea," he said. InuYasha looked at him and pulled off the bandana. "Well that sounds like a plan," he said picking Inuko up.

"Have fun boys," I shouted after them as they darted through the door. "Well Kiki what should we do today?" I asked her looking over at her, a white sheet fell over her head. She giggled and waved at me.

"Dad, I bet you can't keep up with me," Inuko teased, darting through the village, with speed. "We'll see about that," InuYasha said following right behind him. "Not fair you're faster," Inuko shouted trying to keep up with his father.

Inuko hastened his speed and InuYasha fell behind, "ha ha," he said sliding down the side of the cliff. "To fast, to fast… woooaahh…" his voice bellowed. "Ouch that hurt," Inuko muttered rubbing his side. He stood up to his feet and caught his breath. "Dad," he shouted as InuYasha slide down the cliff side as well. "You need to be more careful, you okay?" he asked him patting his head. "I'm good," he said, looking around him. "Wow the waters really sparkly," Inuko said running towards the river.

"Alright let's set up," InuYasha said to him as he looked around for some sticks to make fishing rods with. "Kagome," Kaede said coming through the door with Rin. "Good morning Kaede," I said to her as I picked up the laundry basket. "Can I help you Kagome?" Rin asked taking some of the white sheets outside with Kikyko. "Thanks Rin." I said to her following her out the door. Kaede shifted slowly behind us, "Kagome, InuYasha is he not present?" she asked.

"Sorry Kaede he went fishing with Inuko," I told her she came to my side and helped me hang some sheets. "Aye, ye came to inform thee of a lizard demon in the village. It has been seen in many villages," she said. I looked at her. "Oh a lizard demon, we'll keep a look out, thanks Kaede." I replied, and hung another sheet.

Kikyko giggled and tried to pick up the large basket with her small hands. I took it from her and took her hand. "How about some tea?" I said smiling at Kikyko. Kaede and Rin followed as we headed towards the house.

"Dad," Inuko said bobbing his lure in the water. "Yeah?" InuYasha replied eyeing Inuko from the corner of his eye. "Can I have the Tetsusaiga?" he asked eyeing his father from the corner of his eye. "Ha ha ha ha, you can't even wield it let alone carry it." InuYasha said pulling Inuko into a head lock. "Ah, hey…. Okay okay," Inuko shouted pulling his dad's arm from around his neck.

"How about when you're older we get you your own sword," he said to him, his lure bobbed in the water. "Will you train me how to use it?" he asked watching the water for fish. "Sure," InuYasha replied. "But, you have to promise me not to run away again… or change into a demon. You have to learn to control your transformation okay?" InuYasha said to him. Inuko looked up at him and nodded.

"Good," InuYasha said, taking in a deep sigh and closing his eyes resting against the tree. "HEY I GOT SOMETHING," Inuko shouted as his line started to tug.

"Hold it steady and pull up," InuYasha said pulling his line out of the water and setting it down. "Hold it steady don't lose it," he said helping Inuko pull in his catch.

"I think it's a big one, its dragging me in…" Inuko planed his feet firmly into the ground and pulled back luring the fish in. "GOTCHA," he shouted as he gave one big tug on the line, the fish jumped through the air.

"Ha ha, look at the size of that thing," InuYasha said pulling out his Tetsusaiga. "Alright," InuYasha said swinging his sword through the air cutting the line. "Catch it Inuko, let's take it home." He added, sheathing his Tetsusaiga.

"Yeah," Inuko shouted smiling he picked up his catch and slung it over his shoulder. "Mom's going to be surprised, this is the biggest one I caught yet," he said humming a tune to himself as he marched up the hill.

InuYasha smiled and followed Inuko.

"MOOOM," Inuko's voiced shouted as he dragged his fish into the house. "Inuko, I jus t washed the floors," I sighed and crossed my arms. "Sorry," he said and pulled the fish to the center of the floor. "That's a big one wow," I said looking at it. "Yeah and I caught it," he said smiling point at himself. "Well we'll have to make a big feast then," I clapped my hands together and lifted my sleeves.

InuYasha did the same and pulled out Tetsusaiga. "So cool, are you going to use Tetsusaiga to cut up the fish?" Inuko asked curiously watching as his father cut up the fish.

"AAAHHHHH," Kikyko shouted hiding behind her father. "Jeez you scared me Kiki why'd you scream?" Inuko turned and looked at her. "DEEEMOONNN, ITS A MONSTER DEMMOONNN," she shouted pointing at the fish. InuYasha sheathed Tetsusaiga and looked at Kikyko. "It's big isn't it?" he told her. She pointed and shouted again, "MONSTER, IT'S A BIG MONSTER…" she said making big movements with her hands.

InuYasha picked her up, "it's not a monster Kiki it's a fish, and Inuko caught it all by himself today," he told her. She looked down at it and then back at her father. "I fish?" she asked. InuYasha laughed at her words, "your still too young maybe in another year," he told her, she tapped her hands against her father's face and smiled. He scowled at her and then put her down, and tapped her butt.

"Sit here and be good," he told her, as he helped Kagome prepare dinner. "Dad, since there's going to be a lot of food can we invite Sango and Miroku," Inuko said watching diligently as his father gut out the fish.

"I don't see why not," I said looking down at Inuko. "How about you go over there and invite them for dinner?" I patted Inuko's head. "So cool, okay I'll do it!" He shouted with excitement. If I didn't know Inuko any better he wanted to hang out with the twins, well one of the twins, he's had his eye on Haku ever since he could walk and talk.

"Wait a minute; it's almost dark outside, go quickly got it…" InuYasha said placing his hands on his hips. "YES SIR!" Inuko shouted and jumped to his feet bolting out the door.

A drift of air brushed through Kikyko's hair blowing it in her face, she looked at the door, and stood up to her feet. "Inuko?" she said worried, she never seen him leave so fast before, her eyes welled up with tears.

"What's wrong Kikyko?" InuYasha asked. "Inuko," she said pointing to the door. "He's gone to invite Sango and Miroku for dinner," InuYasha said kneeling down to one knee in front of her.

"He come back?" she asked curious. InuYasha touched a hand to her face and dried her tears, "why are you so worried, he'll be back real quick you'll see." He told her trying to comfort her. She plopped back down, and faced the door, waiting for Inuko's return.

"Think he'll be okay?" I asked InuYasha cutting up some carrots and vegetables. "I'm sure he'll be fine," InuYasha replied, pulling his sleeves up again. He used Tetsusaiga to help me cut up more vegetables, while I steamed some rich and cooked the fish.

"I think we have enough fish to feed an army," I teased cutting the fish into smaller pieces. "MOM," Inuko's voice echoed from outside. "Impressive… Inuko's speed is amazing," Miroku's voice bellowed as he and Sango came through our door. Kaede and Rin followed behind them, and Shippou accompanied them along with Kohaku and Kirara. "Kohaku, Shippou, Kirara…" I smiled, happy to see everyone.

Sango smiled and came towards me, "Can I help?" she asked pulling up her sleeves. "Thanks Sango," I replied, handing her a carrot. Sango and I started talking as we steamed up rice, and the fish.

"InuYasha, I'm impressed with Inuko's speed, he took the girls on his back for a run through the village," Miroku said standing in the door way. InuYasha came towards him and watched as Inuko was running and jumping through the air with the girls both on his back. They were laughing and screaming loudly with excitement.

"Yeah, he's been getting stronger lately," InuYasha replied, watching Inuko carefully. Kikyko shifted to her feet and came towards the door as well, she hide behind her father's leg and peered out at Inuko. InuYasha looked down at Kikyko from the corner of his eye, then turned his gaze back towards Inuko.

Her eyes filled with resentment towards her brother, she scowled at him every time the girls would laugh and say "faster Inuko faster". I kind of got the feeling she was jealous of the girls. Inuko was always careful with his sister he never carried her on his back like InuYasha would, and if he did he'd never run really fast with her anywhere, except in the village.

I looked over at Kikyko every time she would sigh, and noticed her disturbed mood. I tried to liven her spirits and cheer her up by humming a tune, Rin and Sango even joined along with me.

It somewhat caught her attention she turned and looked at us a tiny smile touched her lips. She even started humming as well, out of sync might I add, and would turn her head every so often towards us, but never moving her gaze from Inuko.

"Okay dinner's ready," I turned around and said. Inuko and the girls ran through the door pushing past their fathers and knocking Kikyko down. "Ow Inuko," Kikyko shouted at him and crossed her arms. "Hey Kiki what's wrong?" InuYasha said pulling her up from the floor. InuYasha held her in his arms and brought her to where we all gathered. I sat down next to Sango and passed bowls around.

Kikyko sat in her father's lap holding her small rice bowl with both hands, she blew at it. "Here let me help you," InuYasha said taking her bowl from her and blowing at the rice.

Inuko lifted an eyebrow and looked at Kikyko "Kiki rice is good when it's hot," he told her, his mouth covered with rice as he slowly took a bit of his rice again.

"Hmph, stupid Inuko," she said to him and crossed her arms. InuYasha held the bowl out to her and chuckled at her reply. "Kiki that's not nice to say Inuko didn't say anything to you," I told her handing her a spoon.

"No spoon," she said she took the bowl from her father and stuck her fingers into the rice. Inuko looked at her again and laughed, then turned his gaze to the chattering twins who were conversing with Rin and Kohaku.

"Hey Haku, we should play again after dinner," he said to her, Kira looked over at him and smiled. "That sounds fun," she said and dug her chopsticks into her bowl and ate one of the fish pieces.
