I do not own
A/N: The Dark Crow Smiles-From Black Butler will be playing at the beginning with Michael. So as you read it imagine it hearing it or look it up so you'll know what it sounds like. I just thought it was a good soundtrack for him.
Four men walked in the room of Michael cells. Michael looked up from his sketch book and smiled. One of the four men held some proper clothes and shoes and placed them in the connecting suet to his cell. When they left he took the clothes and saw that they were his old ones. He placed them on and was glad that they still fit him. When his time was up the men came back in and opened his cell door. Michael knew that these men weren't the normally guards he sees. They were Sesshomarus' men and he knew what they were. So he wasn't a fool to do something stupid like try to kill them and break out again. Plus it was a special day today and he didn't want to ruin it. The men chained him up, along with the face mask and ushered him out of the prison. Guards and prisoner that saw him quickly moved out of the way as they remembered or heard of him. Once out of the prison a black SUV was waiting for them with four motorcycles waiting at the front and back of the car. One of the men opened the door for him and placed him inside.

At the hospital Will had finally woke up and saw Kagome sitting next to him; reading to Leo. He sigh in happiness that they here with him. Kagome looked up at him and smiled when she saw that Will was up.
"Hey." He smiled
"Hey." She smiled
"I…I have to admit I didn't think I would see you here." He said
"We wanted to make sure you were okay." She said "And when you feel better I'm gonna slapped you in the back of the head for doing something so stupid when you just had a seizer."
Will grin and looked over at Leo.
"Hey Buddy." Will smiled
"Hi, Will. I made you a get well card." Leo said
The little boy gave him a handmade card.
"Thanks Leo." Will smiled and then realized something. "How long have I been here?" He asked Kagome.
"Two days." She said knowing what he asking
"Oh, good. I didn't miss it." Will smiled and looked at Leo. "Happy Birthday Leo. How old are you again. 20? 30?"
"5, Will." Leo laughed
"Oh, okay Kagome remind me to cancel the cages and the dancing girls." Will joked
Kagome couldn't help up but laugh.
"Will, did you get me anything?" Leo asked
He did but he had it at the house. Then he looked over at Kagome and saw her gesturing to the cabinet next to him. He slowly reached over to the cabinet to open it and took out a perfectly wrapped gift.
"You bet." Will said and handed it to Leo
Leo smile and looked at his mom for permission to open it. She nodded and he quickly opened it. While he was ripping off the wrapping paper Will looked over at Kagome and mouth "Thank you" and she mouth "You're welcome." Leo jumped up and down when he opened his gift; which was the Star Wars video game. The two couldn't help but smile at his happiness and that's all they want for him. A few minutes have passed as Leo and Will were talking Kagome looked at the time and saw that it was time for Leo's surprise. They said their goodbyes to Will and left.
"Where are we going mommy?" Leo asked
"It's a surprise, sweetie. You just have to wait and see." Kagome smiled
She parked at the art museum and helped Leo out of the car. They reached at the steps and waited outside. It wasn't long till a black SUV came and stop right in front of them. One of the guards opened the door and Michael came out of the car.
"Daddy." Leo smiled
The little boy ran up to him and Michael quickly picked him up and held him tight. He was happy that he could hug his own son with no chains or glass wall holding him back.
"My boy." Michael smiled "Look at you. 5 years old huh."
"Yup, yup." Leo said "How did you get here? Does this mean that you're out?"
"I wish it was that son. But your mother's adoptive brother was able to pull some strings to let me out just for today." Michael said "This is a surprise gift from your mother."
"Thank you mommy. Thank you." Leo smiled and hugged his dad tightly
"You're welcome Leo, happy birthday. Ready to go inside." Kagome smiled
Michael placed Leo down and both he and Kagome held their sons hand as they walked inside the museum. They walked around the placed as Michael talks about the design and texture of the painting and sculptures to Leo. Kagome smiled as she saw how happy Leo was. They walked towards the painting 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte' that was on loan and Michael covered Leo's eyes. When they were close enough he removed his hands from Leo's eyes.
"What do you see?" Michael asked
"Dots. A bunch of dots." Leo said
"That's right. Seurat had contrasted miniature dots of colors that when unified optically in the human eye were perceived as a single shade or hue." Michael explained and looked at Kagome. "Remember that project?"
"Are you kidding, it took me weeks to get that green out of my nails." Kagome said
"You're the one that wanted to paint the Aokigahara forest." He laughed "I told the class to start something simple since it was the beginning of the semester."
"I worked on that painting." She pouted "That Chelsey Wright got on my nerves and I wanted to outdo her."
Michael chuckled and took her hand as he brought it up to kiss it.
"And you did. It wasn't because of my love for you. You did deserve that A." He said
"Yeah, and I remember that Chelsey tried to seduce you so could change her grade." She said with narrow eyes.
"You know very well that it didn't work. She was my second…art work for you after all." He said "My eyes and love were only for you."
Kagome smile a little but stopped when she got a call from Jack. Not wanting to deal with the guy she put the phone back in her purse. It was her son's birthday and nothing was going to ruin it. After seeing the whole museum they had headed to the lunch room where Sesshomaru's men had set it up and brought Leo's favorite foods. When they were done the men brought in a small round cake that was chocolate and had strawberries and bananas in the filling.
"Happy Birthday son, make a wish." Michael smile
Leo closed his eyes and blew out the candles as he made his wish. Michael and Kagome clapped for him before cutting the cake.
"Are you ready for your birthday present, sweetie?" Kagome asked
Leo nodded and Kagome had left the room to get his gift. When she came back Leo jumped up and down in excitement when he saw the bike that he wanted.
"Thank you, mommy! Thank you! Thank you!" Leo squealed
He hugged her and started climbing on the bike.
"Hold on Leo, you need to put on your helmet and padding first." Kagome smiled
She helped him down and placed the helmet that had Yoda on it as well with the elbow and knee padding.
"Mommy, it's too tight." Leo whined
Michael chuckled and got up to help him untighten it. When he did he helped Leo on the bike and taught him how to ride the bike. It took some time but Leo was able to get the hang of it.
"Let go daddy." He said
"Are you sure, son?" Michael asked
"Yes, let go." Leo smiled
"Alright." Michael said and let him go.
He smiled in pride as he watched his son rode his bike around the place. Glad that he didn't missed one thing in teach his son something. Kagome looked at Michael and saw a single tear running down his cheek. She walked over to him and intertwined their hands together. He smiled down at him and wrapped his arm around her as they watched their son laugh and had fun riding his bike. Leo stopped when he heard a small little bark. One of the guards came in was holding a box with holes around it. Kagome heard the bark too and knew what it was.
"Michael, how?" She asked
"I may have asked for a favor." Michael smiled "Beside he did say that he wanted a puppy."
The guard gave Michael the box and Leo ran over to them.
"Happy Birthday, Leo." Michael smiled
He opened the lid to the box and a head of a Rottweiler puppy popped out. Leo smiled and carefully picked the puppy out of the box.
"Is he mine daddy?" Leo asked
"That's right son." Michael smiled
"What's his name?" Leo asked and laughed as the puppy started licking him.
"You get to name him son." Michael said
"I think I'm gonna call him Remy." Leo smiled
He laughed some more when Remy continued on licking his face.
It was long till it was time to go and Michael held on to Leo as long as he could. He didn't want to let his son go and it took everything he could to not slaughter everyone to have his family back. But he had no choice as it wasn't time.
"Goodbye, son. I'll see you next week." Michael said as he hugged his son
"Bye daddy, I love you." Leo said
"I love you too. Both you and your mother mean the world to mean. Know that." Michael said and kissed Leo's head.
Leo nodded and Michael placed him down as he looked at Kagome.
"How about a kiss goodbye?" He asked
"Don't push it, Michael." She said
"It was worth a try, love." He smirked
The guards led him to the car and placed him inside. Kagome watch them leave and looked at Leo. She smiled as she saw how tired he was and let out a little yawn.
"Let's go home, Leo." She said
Leo nodded and took Kagome's hand as he held on to Remy.

Kagome had returned to Hannibal's house and was a little surprise that the house was empty. Shaking it off Kagome went inside and gave Leo a bath before putting him to bed. After his bath and getting him dress she placed him in his bed along with Remy with him. She wasn't sure how Hannibal will react with their new house guest but she wasn't going to get rid of him. She had actually grown fawned of the little pup. They already got stuff for the puppy before they came home, like a little bed, but Leo wanted him to sleep with him tonight.
After that Kagome took a shower and put on her pajamas. She wasn't sure when Hannibal will be back so she decided not to worry about it. Living with a cannibal serial killer she knew there'll be nights like these all the time. Kagome was just about to go to bed until she remembered her cell phone. She checked it and saw that Jack had left a message. It would seem that Jack is getting suspicious of Hannibal. Kagome knew this must be why Hannibal wasn't here. He was probably trying to cover his trail now. So she just deleted the message and charged it before going to bed.
Hannibal came home in the middle of the night and went to check on Leo and Kagome. He was a little surprise at the puppy that was sleeping in Leo's bed but was going to talk to Kagome about it tomorrow. Then he opened Kagome's door and went to sit next to her on her bed. He found her sleeping form quite enchanting as always as looked at her with yearning and want.
"You know staring is rude, Hannibal." Kagome mumbled in her sleep
"Do forgive me, Kagome." Hannibal smirked
"Where were you?" Kagome asked with her eyes closed still.
"I'll tell you tomorrow, my dear." He smiled with a dark gleam in his eyes. He brushed a few strands of her hair out of her face. "Go back to sleep."
