Summary- When Inuyasha teases his children, they decide to give him a little payback.


Inuyasha didn't have much of a playful side until after his children were born. He would roughhouse with them often, but would always remember to be gentle...even whenever they tried to pile up on him all at once and he would have to call for Kagome for help.

However, there were often times that his playing would turn into teasing...such as right now.

"Mom!" Yamako called as he stood at the top of the stairs. "Mom!"

"What is it, Yama?" asked Inuyasha as he came out from around the corner.

"I didn't say 'Dad'," Yamako said. "I said 'Mom'."

"Oh, I see," Inuyasha nodded. "Wait here. I'll go get her." He then turned and left.

"What is it, Yama?" asked this high falsetto voice. "What is it, my little Yama-Bear?"

"I said I want Mom!" Yamako shouted, not at all amused by his father's attempt at sounding like his mother.

"This is your mother!" Inuyasha said. "Can't you tell by my lovely voice?"

"Dad!" Yamako complained.

"Your father's not here!" Inuyasha countered. "Which is a shame, because he's such a handsome fellow with big, strong muscles!"

"Ugh..." Yamako groaned as he slapped his palm against his forehead while "Kagome" continued to compliment her husband's musculature.

"What's wrong with you, Yama?" asked Ichiro as he and Sanka approached.

"Dad's doing that thing where he pretends to be Mom, again," Yamako answered, causing his older brother and younger sister to groan in disdain.

"Not this, again!" Sanka whined.

"I hate it when he does this!" Ichiro added...but then, he suddenly grinned impishly as a mischievous glint appeared in the corner of his eye. "Hey...I got an idea."

"What is it, Ichi?" asked Yamako.

"Huddle up," Ichiro urged as he brought his younger brother and sister closer and began whispering. Whatever idea he had in mind, they must have liked it, for they started to giggle. All the while, Inuyasha remained completely unaware.

"But my favorite about your father," Inuyasha continued, "would be those rippling biceps he has-" He then gasped when he saw Ichiro smirking at him with crossed arms, while Yamako and Sanka stood behind him with equally smug grins.

"Hello, 'Mother'," Ichiro smirked.

"Oh, uh...hello, Ichiro," Inuyasha said, still keeping that fake falsetto voice.

"Come with us, 'Mom'," Yamako said as he grabbed Inuyasha by the hand.

"Yeah, you've got some important Mommy things to do!" Sanka added as she began to push her father along.

"Oh, well...I am a bit busy," Inuyasha said as he tried to grab onto the doorframe, only for Ichiro to push him out, too.

"Oh, nonsense, this will just take a second," he said.

Kagome hummed a small tune to herself as she finished tying a little red ribbon into Izayoi's hair while Usagi sat nearby, waiting for her turn. Mamoru lied curled up in the laundry basket, taking a little nap.

"There you go, Izzy," Kagome said as she put Izayoi aside. "All right, Usagi, your turn now."

Usagi sat in her mother's lap, but just as Kagome was about to brush her hair, the one-year-old started to giggle as she pointed at something off to the side.

"Daddy pretty!" she piped up.

"What?" Kagome asked as she looked to where her daughter was pointing, only to gasp upon seeing her husband...dressed up in a kimono that was little too small for his muscular frame, his hair tied up in a messy bun with hairpins, and to top it all off, he was wearing rouge on his lips and eyeshadow...and quite frankly, he had a look on his face that said "I really want to die, right now". Behind him, Ichiro, Yamako, and Sanka were all snickering and snorting, trying to stifle their laughter.

"Umm...how do you remove makeup?" asked Inuyasha, still using that high-pitched voice of his.

"...You were pretending to be me again, weren't you?" Kagome asked in a deadpan tone.

"Ye- I mean, yes," Inuyasha answered, finally using his real voice, which caused his children to burst out laughing, to his further embarrassment.

"All right, you guys," Kagome scolded. "I think your dad's been punished enough."

"Yeah, you're right," said Ichiro as he wiped his eyes. "Sorry, Dad."

"Yeah, sorry," Yamako added.

"Sorry, Daddy," Sanka spoke up.

"Yeah...I guess I'm sorry, too," said Inuyasha. "I won't pretend to be your mother, anymore. Promise."

"Good," Ichiro nodded before he walked out. "Come on, squirts."

Yamako and Sanka both giggled as they ran out after their brother while Kagome walked up to Inuyasha while she held the twins.

"For the record," Kagome began, "I think you do look kinda pretty."

"Oh, well, thank you," said Inuyasha in that high-pitched voice again, causing Kagome to snort as she burst into laughter, and it wasn't long before he started laughing, too.


XD This was a funny one.
