Chapter 4: Family Bonding Time
"What do you think happened?"
"Inuyasha's married?!"
"Is that little boy his?"
"What's going on?"
"Toga does not look happy."
Inu No Taisho and Izayoi ignore the whispers as they look at Kagome and Kazushi.
Rin and the rest of the family continue to stare at Kagome and Kazushi in shock.
"Don't you ever run off like that, you hear?" Kagome says as she pulls away from him.
Kazushi nods as he looks at her. "Hun-gry."
Kagome nods as she wraps her arms around him again. "You had me worried."
"You, you found him?" Inuyasha asks his parents slowly.
Izayoi ignores him, but Inu No Taisho looks up and glares at him.
"My office!"
"Bu-"
"Now!"
Inuyasha helps Kagome stand up, before leaving the group.
"What the hell?" Koga asks. Kikyo stares at the ground in shock.
"Did you know about this?" Rin asks Sesshomaru, causing Inu No Taisho to snap his eyes at him.
"Well-"
"Sesshomaru."
"I found out when you told me to get him."
"So why didn't you tell me?" Inu No Taisho asks, raising his voice a little.
"Surprise?" Sesshomaru asks with a nervous smile. His father's glare causes him to turn around and walk in the same direction his brother went.
"Why are both of my sons idiots?" Inu No Taisho asks as he rubs his head.
"He's married?" Izayoi whispers causing Kikyo to run away from the group. Another round of whispers start.
"Kikyo," Rin and Ayame whisper as they run after her.
"And a kid. That boy, he's my grandson. Toga!"
"Okay, okay, let's go see them."
.
.
With Inuyasha and Kagome
"That went better than I expected," Inuyasha says as Kagome takes a seat across from his father's desk.
"Better than my parents," Kagome tells him as Kazushi turns around and looks at his mother.
"Mommy mad?"
"No I was worried," Kagome says as she kisses the top of his head. "Don't leave us again baby."
Kazushi nods before grabbing her hands and playing with her fingers.
"He's going to kill us," Sesshomaru says as he paces in front of them.
"Just because daddy doesn't love you right now, doesn't mean he's going to kill us," Inuyasha tells his brother.
Sesshomaru growls but continues pacing."I hope he kills you first."
"So cruel. I have kids man," Inuyasha tells him as the door opens.
Sesshomaru and he freeze, while Kagome curiously looks at the door.
Izayoi softly closes the door as Inu No Taisho walks to stand in front of his desk. Izayoi stands next to her husband and looks at Kagome and Kazushi.
"Look, dad. I-"
"Silence."
Inuyasha's back straightens causing Kagome to raise a brow.
"Who are they?" Inu No Taisho asks.
"Kagome Higurashi. She's my wife. And that's our son, Kazushi."
"When did you get married?"
"Almost five years. We met on the airplane," Inuyasha says.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Izayoi asks softly.
"She wanted everyone to be safe," Sesshomaru speaks out.
"Sesshomaru," Inuyasha growls.
"Look. They're going to find out anyway. She's the country's ambassador and general's daughter."
"What?!" Inu No Taisho and Izayoi quickly turn their head to look at Kagome.
"Hi," Kagome says as she stands up. "I sometimes go by the name Kari Rika."
"Really Inuyasha?" Inu No Taisho asks. "You just could have found a nice, simply, but you married someone who is important to our nation. No offense."
"None taken. I am important," Kagome says as Kazushi claps his hands. "Not as important as the president's daughter. But I'm pretty important."
"Kagome," Inuyasha says as he runs a hand through his hair. "Can you stop? You're not helping."
"Sorry," Kagome states as she shifts Kazushi on her hip. "Umm, it's very nice to meet you."
Inuyasha rolls his eyes before looking at his parents. "Don't be mad at her. It was my decision."
"Oh trust us, we're not mad at her," Inu No Taisho snaps.
"Dad, you don't understand. People could have came after you and mom if they found out. I didn't want you guys to get hurt," Inuyasha explains with a pleading look.
"That doesn't give you the right to hide them from us, Inuyasha!" Inu No Taisho shouts.
"Mommy! He's yelling," Kazushi whines into Kagome's neck.
Inu No Taisho pauses and turns to look at his grandson.
"It's going to be okay Ushi," Kagome mumbles as she rubs his back.
Inu No Taisho clears his throat, causing Kagome to look at him.
"Kazushi is it?"
Kagome nods as Kazushi tightens his grip around her neck.
"Kazuhi, I'm sorry for yelling."
"You hear that Ushi. Grandpa said sorry. What do we say when people apologize?" Kagome whispers against his hair.
"O-tay."
"Good," Kagome says as Kazushi pulls away from her neck and turns around to look at his grandpa.
"You loud."
Inu No Taisho chuckles as he looks down at his grandson.
"I can be."
"Do you want to hold him?" Kagome asks as she shifts from side to side. "He's kinda heavy."
"Yes," Inu No Taisho says as he opens his arms.
Kagome leans over and hands him Kazushi. Kazushi places his hands on Inu No Taisho's shoulder as he stares up at him with wide eyes.
"Tall!"
Izayoi giggles as she stands next to her husband.
"He's very tall and big," Izayoi tells her grandson.
"Loud."
"And loud too. Just like your father,"
Kazushi giggles before reaching out for Izayoi. Izayoi automatically grabs Kazushi and cuddles him into her chest.
"You're so adorable."
Kazushi lets out a squeal as Izayoi squeezes him.
"Pop! You pop me!" Kazushi tells her with a giggle in his voice.
"I'm sorry," Izayoi says as she pulls him away from her. "I'm just happy to see you!"
Kazushi tilts his head in response. "Who you?"
"Kazushi, remember that picture we showed you of daddy with his family?" Kagome asks as she stands behind him.
Kazushi nods as he stares at Izayoi.
"And you remember the girl that your daddy was hugging. We told you that that's his mommy. Your grandma."
"Grandmo?" (That's how Kazushi pronounces it… isn't that cute ^o^)
"Yes, your grandma," Kagome says as she stands behind him. "And that tall man was your grandpa."
"Wow!" Kazushi squeaks as he places his hands on his grandmother's cheek. "Hi grandmo!"
"Hello to you too," Izayoi states with a smile. "You can call me grandma Izzy."
"Izzy?"
"Yes dear. And that's your grandpa Inu," Izayoi says as she points ay her husband.
"Grandpo Inu?" Kazushi says with a tilt of the head.
"Exactly my dear," Izayoi tells him with a smile.
Kazushi smiles at her, before turning to his mother. "Mommy. I still hungr-y."
"Oh! I can make him a sandwich," Izayoi suggest. "Would you like a sandwich?"
Kazushi eagerly nods.
"Come on you two," Izayoi says as she ushers Kagome out the room.
"Kazushi's going to have her wrapped around his finger," Inuyasha says with a smirk.
Inu No Taisho and Sesshomaru chuckle for a moment, before their father clears his throat.
"We're not done talking," Inu No Taisho states firmly. "We will talk about this, tomorrow. Privately."
"But dad!"
Inu No Taisho's glare makes Inuyasha flinch back and flatten his ears to the base of his head.
"I am very disappointed in you Inuyasha. Seven years, Inuyasha. Seven."
Inuyasha glares down at the ground in response. "I did it to protect everyone."
"Inu-"
"Aren't you glad I'm back? At least I came back," Inuyasha snaps before walking out the room. He makes it a point to slams the door behind him.
Inu No Taisho runs a hand down his face as he leans against his desk.
"Ahum."
"What Sesshomaru?" Inu No Taisho asks with his eyes closed.
"Don't be too hard on him. He really wanted to tell you guys. He was happy when he saw me. And Kami knows that he doesn't like me."
Inu No Taisho opens his eyes and stares at his oldest son.
"Just enjoy the fact that he's here dad. And he misses you."
Inu No Taisho nods as he leans off the desk.
"Looks who's wise with words now," Inu No Taisho teases causing his son to shrug in response.
"And give Kagome a chance. She doesn't need the stress, since she's pregnant," Sesshomaru says without knowing. Once he registered what he said, his eyes widen and he quickly holds out his hands and shakes his head.
"What?!"
"Oh hell!"
.
.
With Kagome
"Thanks Izayoi, for making Kazushi a sandwich," Kagome says as her and Izayoi walk out the kitchen; Kazushi is in her arms.
"It was no problem," Izayoi tells her. "It was a pleasure feeding my grandpup."
Kazushi giggles as his grandmother pinches his cheek.
They make their way to the stairs and see Inuyasha marching down the stairs, towards them.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Izayoi asks.
"Nothing mom," Inuyasha mumbles as he stands in front of them.
Izayoi glances at Kagome to see her grab Inuyasha's hand.
"Izayoi, can you take Kazushi back to the party?" Inuyasha was in his own little world.
Izayoi looks at her son, before nodding. 'He needs comfort. But he has a wife now. My baby's hurting!'
Izayoi nods as she stares at her son.
Kagome smiles and drags Inuyasha off the stair and walks them towards the kitchen.
"Be good Kazushi!"
"Otay!"
"Mommy help daddy," Kazushi tells his grandma as they walk down the hallway.
"Does mommy comfort daddy a lot?" Izayoi asks.
Kazushi nods his head, jerking Izayoi a little. "And me too! She kiss my boo boo!"
Izayoi giggles as they walk into the ballroom.
"Kazushi loves mommy!"
"Grandma does too."
"Yay!"
Izayoi giggles as she goes to greet her guest.
'I love this little boy. Hopefully, I can get use to his mother. She seems nice, but she's tense.'
Izayoi shakes her head, before talking to one of her friends.
.
.
With Kagome
"What happened?" Kagome mumbles against Inuyasha's neck.
Inuyasha's leaning against the wall with Kagome's arms wrapped around his waist and her face in his neck.
"He said he was disappointed in me. Kami, I was a fool for coming back," Inuyasha mumbles.
Kagome sighs before kissing her husband's neck. She knew he was always trying to please his father. That's one of the reasons he became a lawyer.
"I'm sure he didn't mean it," Kagome tells him. "He was just mad."
"As always," Inuyasha says with a sigh. "Where's Kazushi?"
"With your mother. Let's go inside and meet your friends. Hopefully they're over the shock," Kagome states with a smile.
Inuyasha smirks and nods.
Kagome pulls her face out of his neck and looks up at him.
"Just know that Kazushi and I love you and you can never make us be disappointed in you."
Inuyasha grunts, before bending down to seal their lips. Kagome smiles as she wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him back.
They never saw the brown eyes around the corner watching them.
.

Five minutes later
With the group
"I hope Toga didn't kill both of his sons," Ayame says as she takes a sip of her drink.
"Izayoi probably stopped him," Rin states as she leans against the wall. "I can't believe he's married."
"And has a kid," Miroku points out.
"Kikyo looked so heartbroken," Sango says as she places a hand on her cheek. "She ran out of here so fast. She thought that Inuyasha and her would get back together."
"We all thought they would," Koga states. "He was so in love with her."
"Well-" Rin starts to say, but stops when she spots Inuyasha and his wife. "He's alive."
"Be nice everyone," Miroku states as he picks a flute of wine.
"No touching anyone's butt," Sango says with a glare.
"She has a body of a model!" Miroku tells her.
"True," Koga agrees, causing Ayame to glare at him.
"Miroku-"
"You know I only have eyes for you, love," Miroku says as he wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.
Sango rolls her eyes as Inuyasha and Kagome stand right in front of them.
"Hey everyone," Inuyasha says with his arm wrap around Kagome's waist.
"I'm surprise you're still alive," Koga tells him with a smirk.
"Ha, yeah," Inuyasha states as he scratches the back of his head. "Um, guys, this is Kagome, my wife."
"Hi," Kagome says with a small wave. "It's nice to meet you all. Inuyasha talks a lot about all of you."
Kagome bites her bottom lip as everyone stares at her in silence.
"Did I say something wrong?" Kagome asks with a tilt of the head.
"Oh, it's not you. It's just that Inuyasha's-"
"Not the marrying type? That's what Sesshomaru said," Kagome says, finishing Miroku's sentence.
"I can't believe you kept this secret from us? You jerk," Ayame announces as she pushes Inuyasha in her shoulder.
"Ouch."
"So the little boy from earlier, he was your son?" Sango asks as she looks at Kagome. Rin is quietly looking Kagome up from head to toe.
"Yes, Kazushi. He's three," Kagome says with a nod. "Izayoi stole him from us," Kagome jokes.
"He's adorable," Ayame states.
"He acts cute way too much. He gets it from his father, I think," Kagome says with a giggle. "Especially when he gets into trouble."
"That's so adorable!" Ayame comments with a smile.
"Where's Kikyo?" Inuyasha quietly asks Miroku. Before Miroku could speak, Sango interrupts him.
"She's in the bathroom," she says as Kazushi rushes towards the group with a cookie.
"Mama, Mama."
Inuyasha nods as Kagome bends down to talk to their son.
"Kazushi, say hi," Kagome tells Kazushi as she turns him to the group.
"Hi," Kazushi says with a small blush. He waves at everyone causing the girls to immediately get on their knees and coo at him.
"He's so adorable!"
Kazushi smiles, showing off his dimples. "Pwetty Mama."
"Pretty ladies?" Kagome asks. Kazushi happily nods in response.
"He's a lady man too," Rin says as Kazushi takes a bite out of his cookie.
"He is. Kazushi, who gave you that cookie?"
"Grandmo."
"Does it have nuts inside?" Kagome asks, causing Inuyasha to look down.
Kazushi shakes his head as he shoves the cookie against her mouth. Kagome takes a small bite before nodding.
"Is he allergic to nuts?" Sango asks as she looks at Kagome.
"Yes. Both of us," Kagome says as Kikyo walks to the group. She stands behind Inuyasha.
Kagome glances at them, before turning back to the conversation with the girls.
"How did your dad take all of this?" Kikyo asks with a small smile.
"He's disappointed and angry. Mom was feeling the same way and hurt. But once she got to hold Kazushi, she was so excited."
Kikyo nods as she looks at him. "What about your wife?"
"They both were shocked to say the least, but I think they'll like her."
"Looks like someone likes her too. A lot," Koga mumbles with a smirk. (He's referring to Kagome being pregnant.. he can smell it)
"Shut up," Inuyasha says with a glare. Kikyo and Miroku look at them confusedly.
"Are you three staying for the wedding?"
"What wedding?" Inuyasha asks with a raised brow.
"Toga and Izzy are renewing their vows," Kikyo informs him.
"I see," Inuyasha says as someone walks past him with a tray of wine. He grabs one and takes a long sip.
"Thirsty?" Kikyo teasingly asks.
"You can say that," Inuyasha states, cracking her smirk.
Kikyo giggles causing Miroku and Koga to glance at each other.
"What's so funny?" Kagome asks as she stands up.
Inuyasha wraps his arm around her waist and lays his hand on her stomach. Kagome lays her head on his shoulder in response.
"Nothing. So Kagome, how old is Kazushi?" Kikyo asks give her a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"Three. He'll be four in a few months. He loves to play with his father," Kagome response with a tilt of then head. 'I don't trust this girl one bit. Especially around my man."
"He likes baseball and football the most," Inuyasha states.
"Just like his father," Miroku chimes in.
"Oh! Those two are just alike. They're practically clones," Kagome tells him.
"Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha and Kagome turn around to see Inu No Taisho flagging him over to a group of older men.
"I'll be back," Inuyasha says as he kisses the top of her head. Kagome nods as he walks away.
She turns around to start a conversation with Inuyasha's friend.
Kagome notice that as Miroku was talking to her, Kikyo was looking at Inuyasha.

Fifteen Minutes Later
"Mommy! Mommy! Cake!" Kazushi squeals as three men carry a six tier cake into the room.
"I know," Kagome says as she bends down to pick him up. "You'll get some, just wait."
"What kind of cake does he like?" Izayoi asks as she stands in front of them and holds out her arms.
"Chocolate. He would die for it," Kagome says as she hands Kazushi to his grandmother.
"Really? Well guess what kind of cake we have. Chocolate," Izayoi tells Kazushi.
"Yay!" Kazushi squeals as he claps his hands together.
Kagome jumps as Inuyasha wraps his arms around her waist.
"Baka," Kagome mumbles.
"You love me. So who's the real baka?" Inuyasha asks as he kisses the side of her head.
"Shut up loser," Kagome states with a grin.
"I fucking hate you sometimes," Inuyasha tells her with a small growl.
"Really?" Kagome asks with a fake gasp. "So I guess we should stop sleeping together. Since you hate me."
"Don't be cruel, mommy," Inuyasha mumbles as he nips her neck.
"Stop!" Kagome whines causing Izayoi to smile.
"Big! Big!" Kazushi shouts as two men place the cake on the table.
"It is," Izayoi tells him. "Come on you two."
After everyone marveled at the cake, Inu No Taisho and Izayoi cut the cake and personally severed it to their guest and family
.
.
Twenty Minutes Later
The group, minus Sesshomaru and Kikyo are sitting at a table eating their cake.
A few guests were dancing while other talk or eat small snacks/cake.
"Potty," Kazushi says as he looks up at his father. He has white and yellow icing smeared over his face.
Kagome leans over and wipes his face, before looking her husband.
Inuyasha glances at his son and shrugs.
"Inuyasha, take him to the freaking bathroom," Kagome snaps.
"Why do I have to?" Inuyasha whines.
"Because you need to teach him," Kagome says as Kazushi starts to bounce.
"Daddy!"
"Okay, okay. I'll take you," Inuyasha says as he picks up his son.
"Inuyasha is such a baby sometimes," Kagome mumbles as she steals his plate and starts to eat his cake.
"We can see. Does Inuyasha interact with Kazushi a lot?" Rin asks as she picks up her glass of wine.
"All the time. Well unless he's not working. Sometimes I can't keep those two apart," Kagome says before cutting into a piece of cake. "It's really cute."
Sango giggles as Kagome starts eating the cake.
"This kid is making me hungry," Kagome mumbles before shoving a fork filled with cake into her mouth.
"You're pregnant?" Ayame, Rin, and Sango asks in unison.
"Oops, it was supposed to be a secret," Kagome tells them as she picks up her water.
"Are you?" Rin asks excitedly.
"Yes, I am. About eight weeks," Kagome says. "Are you girls planning on having any kids any time soon?"
"No!" They all shout in unison.
.
.
Ten Minutes Later
Inuyasha walks behind a jumping Kazushi.
"Where grandmo?" Kazushi asks as he stops jumping. Inuyasha surveys the people in the ballroom in response.
"There," Inuyasha says as he points at his parents. "I'll be at the table with mommy okay."
Kazushi nods as Inuyasha bends down and tugs on his son's jacket.
"Are you having fun?"
"Yes daddy!" Kazushi answers with a smile.
Inuyasha cracks a smile and gives him a kiss on the cheek, before standing.
Inuyasha watches his son run off to his parents, before walking back to his pregnant wife. Only to be spotted by an old family friend. He didn't notice Kazushi run to talk to a man standing next to the wall with a tray of cracker and cheese.
"Hi! I'm Kazushi!" Kazushi squeals as he stands in front of the server with long black hair and red eyes.
"Naraku," the server says as he glances down at him.
"Red?" Kazushi asks with a tilt of the head.
"Red," the waiter says, before looking straight ahead.
Kazushi pouts but nods.
"Bye."
"Bye Kazushi."
The waiter watches Kazushi run to his grandmother, before turning around to hand out cheese and crackers.
.
.
With Kagome and Inuyasha
"I'm going to clean out Kazushi's cup," Kagome announces as she stands up and grabs the small Spiderman cup.
"Do you want more cake?" Sango asks.
"Please," Kagome tells her with a smile.
"She seems nice," Ayame states as soon as Kagome disappears from site.
"She does. But Kikyo's still heartbroken," Rin states as Kikyo walks into the ballroom.
"True. I hope she'll feel better about the situation," Ayame says as Kikyo spots them and walks towards their direction.
"Hopefully," Rin mumbles.
.
.
With Kagome
"Mmmmm," Kagome hums as she rinses the suds out of Kazushi's sippy cup. She doesn't hear one of the servers walking in and setting their tray on the island.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Kagome Takahashi."
Kagome immediately turns around only to see a covered chest. She looks up to stare at the man.
Blue eyes glare at red ones.
"What are you doing here, Naraku?" Kagome asks.
"I'm a server tonight. I serve the people, as usual," Naraku tells her with a smile.
"Cut the bull Na-Na. You came here because, somehow, you found out I was going to be here. Am I right?" Kagome asks.
"Maybe," Naraku tells her as he leans against the counter.
He grabs her chin causing Kagome to softly glare at him.
"You've become less ugly from the last time I saw you."
"Oh thank you," Kagome tells him with a smile. "And you look less stupid."
"You hurt me, Kagz."
Kagome rolls her eyes, before turning off the faucet.
"I'm leaving."
"I'll be here," Naraku calls out as Kagome walks away.
"Oh! And tell Inuyasha that I said hello."
Kagome pauses and gives him the finger.
"Kazushi looks like his father, good. Don't want him to look like his hideous mother."
"Screw you Naraku! Screw you!" Kagome snaps as she marches out the kitchen.
Naraku chuckles as he leans against the counter.
"Should I tell command that his daughter is back in town?"
Naraku shakes his head before turning to get back to work.
.
.
An hour later
Kagome smiles as she watches Kazushi dance with his grandmother. 'He's going to have her wrapped around his little finger.'
Kagome sighs as she glances at her left to see Inuyasha laughing with a few of his friends.
"Maybe I should get some air," Kagome mumbles to herself as she stands up and grabs her drink.
She quietly makes it through the back door.
She turns around a corner and sees a pool. "Man! This place has everything!"
Kagome carefully walks towards the pool. She takes her shoes off and sits down on the marble covered ground.
Kagome sighs as she dips her feet in the pool water. "Tonight was a good night. It turned out different than I expected."
She sets her flute of apple juice off to the side, before taking off her jewelry.
She sets all her belongings next to her flute of apple juice before falling back to lay on the tile floor.
"Ouch!" Kagome whines as slight pain shoots through her back.
A minute later, she lets out a sigh as she looks up at the stars.
"Ahummm."
Kagome turns her head and looks at the person who cleared their throat.
"Mind if I join you?"
"Yes, I do mind," Kagome says with a smile as she sits up. "But since this is your house, sorry, I mean castle, you can sit wherever you want."
Inu No Taisho shakes his head and chuckles before taking a seat next to Kagome. He made sure he didn't get his shoes wet.
"What are you doing out here anyways?"
"To think. And to give Inuyasha some space," Kagome says as she picks up her flute of apple juice. "He deserves to be with his friends and family."
"But aren't you part of his family?"
"Yes, but he's been with me for seven years straight. I'm sure you all miss him."
"We do. A lot," Inu No Taisho tells her.
Kagome nods as she takes a sip of her apple juice. She lets out a happy sigh before placing the flute back on the ground.
"You're pregnant, I've heard. Well smelled it too."
"Yes. Eight weeks," Kagome says. "We haven't told Kazushi yet."
"He old is he? Four?"
"Three. He'll be four in a few months," Kagome states with a smile. "He's a very lucky boy. He was born two months early. He was so tiny and fragile."
Inu No Taisho nods as he stares down at her.
"But he grew after a month. And we got to take home when he was two months."
"Inuyasha was premature too. But by only one months," Inu No Taisho tells her.
Kagome nods as she looks down at her feet which are in the water.
"Don't blame Inuyasha about not telling you about us. It was my fault," Kagome tells him. "He wanted to tell you when we first got married, but with other country's sending threats, we didn't want to risk that. I'm sorry."
Inu No Taisho takes a deep breath as he lets the information sink in. "I'm not mad at him. I just, I wanted to know about you and my grandson; before today. I wanted to get to know you two. And I'm sure Izzy did too."
"I'm sorry. I really am. I wouldn't want anyone to be away from their family," Kagome says.
Inu No Taisho nods in response.
"Kagome."
Kagome turns around to see who called her."
"Oh, hi Izayoi. What's up?" Kagome asks as Izayoi stands in the doorway with Kazushi in her arms.
"Kagome, Kazushi fell asleep."
Kagome nods as she stands up and puts on her shoes. She walks towards her mother-in-law and holds out her hands to accept her son.
"You sleepy Ushi?" Kagome asks as he wraps his arms around her neck.
"Night night," Kazushi whispers against her neck.
"Night night," Kagome mumbles as she rubs his back. "Can I lay him down in one of the rooms?"
"Of course. Let me show you which one."
Kagome nods while following Izayoi into the house.
Inu No Taisho watches them with a small smile on his face.
'You choose a good woman, Inuyasha. Don't lose her.'
.
.
Ten minutes later
"Mommy," Kazushi whines as Kagome sits him up.
"Mommy's sorry baby," Kagome says as she sets his shirt and jacket off to the side, leaving him in a white tank top.
Izayoi directed them to a room on the first floor. Now, Kagome is taking his clothes off, so he can sleep comfortably.
She takes off his pants, before standing him up and checking his pull up.
"Do you have to go potty?" Kagome asks when she notices it not being wet.
Kazushi shakes his head as his mother lays him down on the bed.
"Good night, my little love bug," Kagome whispers as she bends over and kisses Kazushi's forehead.
Kazushi smiles as he closes his eyes.
"Night Night mommy. Night Night grandmo."
"Good night, Kazushi," Izayoi says as she walks over to her grandson and kisses his cheek.
"No go," He mumbles as he grabs her finger.
Izayoi glances at Kagome who rubs her son's belly.
"Grandma's going to be here when you wake up, Ushi. I promise."
Kazushi releases her finger in response.
"Go to sleep, baby."
She raises the covers to his hip, before looking at her mother-in-law.
They silently walk out the room and Izayoi closes the door.
"He's so adorable. He makes me want to have another baby," Izayoi gushes to Kagome.
Kagome giggles as she follows Izayoi down the hallway.
"You should tell Inu No Taisho about that then."
She and Izayoi laugh as they walk into the ballroom together.
"I should," Izayoi states as she wipes the tears from her eyes.
Inuyasha smiles as he looks at his mother and wife. 'I'm glad they're getting along,' he thinks as Koga tells a story about an incident that happened on his job.
.
.
Two hours later
"That was a long party," Kagome says as she leans against Inuyasha's shoulder.
Sango nods as Miroku wraps an arm around her waist.
"But it was fun," Ayame says with a smile.
"With lots of surprises," Rin mumbles causing Inuyasha to glance at her.
"That was amazing Toga, thank you," Izayoi cooed as they walk into the ballroom after saying goodbye to their last guest.
"You did all the work love. I just paid for it," Inu No Taisho says as he kisses her cheek.
Izayoi smiles as they walk towards the group. "I still have the wedding to plan for. Maybe I can get the girls to help me with that."
"Maybe."
"Thank you, all for staying," Izayoi tells the group as her and Inu No Taisho stands in front of them.
"It's no probably Izzy," Kikyo says as she stands next to Izayoi.
Kikyo glances at Inuyasha and Kagome to see Inuyasha whispers something into Kagome's ear.
Kagome silently giggle and nods.
"We should really be going back to the hotel. I'll just go get Kaz-"
"No! Everyone is staying here," Izayoi states with a smile.
"Slumber party? Really, Izzy? Aren't we a little too old?" Rin asks teasingly.
"I want my family here. So everyone, go upstairs and pick a room," Izayoi states as she claps her hands.
Everyone nods in response causing Izayoi to smile.
"Come on love, time for bed."
"Okay Toga," Izayoi says as she wraps her arm around his.
"Those two are so sweet," Rin states to Sesshomaru as his parents walk out the room."I hope we can be like them, one day."
Sesshomaru silently nods in response.
"I'll go call someone to pick up our stuff," Inuyasha tells Kagome as he looks down at her.
"You go do that; I'm going to go to sleep. I'm tired," Kagome yawns as she covers her mouth.
"You okay?"
"I'm just tired," Kagome states. "Carry me."
Inuyasha rolls his eyes but picks her up. Kagome wraps her arms around his neck and places her face into his neck.
Sango and Ayame glance at Kikyo who's looking down at the ground.
"Whoa! You've gotten heavy!" Inuyasha teases as he carries her out the room.
"Shut up, jackass."
"Bitch."
"Dumb fuck."
"Slut."
"Man-whore."
"You good for nothing-"
"They're the same person, but in different genders," Sango whispers to Rin who nods in agreement.
"Well, see you all in the morning," Kikyo says as she follows in the direction Inuyasha went it.
"Kikyo, we'll be up there to talk to you in a minute," Sango tells him.
"Okay. Thanks," Kikyo tells them as she continues her walk out the room.
"I hope she's okay," Sango mumbles as Miroku wraps his arms around her shoulder.
Koga's phone rings causing Ayame to look over at him.
He takes out his phone and smiles at the screen. He excuses himself, resulting in a sad look from Ayame.
"She'll be fine," Ayame says as she walks out the room.
"What's her problem?" Sesshomaru asks causing Rin to glare at him.
"You're sleeping by yourself tonight."
"What for?"
"For not telling me about your brother and his family. Sometimes, Sesshy, you can be so stupid," Rin growls before stomping out the room. Sango quickly runs after her.
Sesshomaru raises a brow as he looks at a smirking Miroku.
"Women, you got to love them."

Fifteen minutes later
"I'm fine, really," Kikyo says as she pulls her hair into a ponytail.
After Ayame, Sango, and Rin got dressed, they went to visit Kikyo and see how she is doing.
"Are you sure?" Rin asks as she sits up on Kikyo's bed.
"Yes."
Ayame glances at Sango who glances back at her.
"Can you girls just leave? I'm sleepy. You know me, I need my beauty sleep," Kikyo states as she turns to face them.
The girls giggle before rushing to Kikyo and giving her a hug.
"Everything will be okay, Kiks," Sango says as she rubs Kikyo's back.
"I hope so," Kikyo mumbles through tears.
After hugging for ten minutes, the girls allowed Kikyo to sleep.
"Do you think she's going to get over Inuyasha?" Sango asks as Ayame closes the door to Kikyo's room.
"Doubt it," Rin mumbles.
They look down the hallway to see Kagome closing the door to the bathroom. She's wearing purple cotton shorts that stop at the top of her thigh and a yellow tight t-shirt. Her hair is in a high ponytail and her makeup is gone.
"Hi," Kagome says as she walks towards them.
"Hey. Going to sleep?" Sango asks.
"Yes," Kagome states with a nod. She stares at them for a minute, before clearing her throat. "Is Kikyo awake?"
"No. Why?" Rin asks with crossed arms.
"Personal reasons," Kagome says as she leans on one foot.
"What kind of reasons," Sango asks with a raised brow.
"Kagome, are you ready for bed?" Inuyasha asks, walking out of the same bathroom Kagome had a few minutes go. He's wearing a blue t-shirt with black boxers.
"Yeah. Good night girls," Kagome says before turning around and walking away from them.
The girls watch as Inuyasha and Kagome walk down before turning to look at each other.
"What do you think they were going to talk about?" Ayame asks.
"I don't know," Sango mumbles. "It's probably about Inuyasha."
"Well I don't like her," Rin says as she turns to face her friends.
"Why not? She seems nice and funny," Ayame defends.
"True," Rin states with a shrug. "But Inuyasha needs to apologize to Kikyo?"
"What for?" Ayame asks.
"Kikyo's been waiting all this time and he moved on," Sango tells her.
"But it's not like he made any promises. She denied his proposal, he's a free man and she's a free woman," Ayame states. "But he did need to discuss with Kikyo about where they stand."
"She does have a point," Sango points out. She sighs as she waves her hands in front of her face. "Okay. Let's just calm down. We're all sleepy and need to just calm down and relax."
"Yeah," Rin mumbles with a sigh.
"So we're giving Kagome a chance?" Ayame asks. "Well I am."
"We should too. But Kikyo's going to be hurting because of it," Sango states.
Rin runs a hand through her hair: "We'll talk about this tomorrow."
"Sounds good to me," Ayame says. The girls hug each other, before parting ways.

With Inuyasha and Kagome
"They hate me," Kagome says.
"No they don't," Inuyasha defends as he gets into the bed. They had chosen to sleep in his old bedroom.
'Looks like mom cleaned up in here."
"You don't see how they look at me. They blame me," Kagome tells him with a cross of the arms.
"For?"
"You and Kikyo not being together. I just know it."
Inuyasha gets into bed and opens his arms out.
"Come here."
Kagome looks the other way.
"Oh! So you want to play?"
Kagome squeaks as Inuyasha grabs her arm and yanks her into her his bed.
"Stop!" Kagome screams as Inuyasha starts tickling her. "I'm in the bed! You see!"
"Are you going to listen?" Inuyasha asks as he hovers over Kagome.
"Yes. Just stop tickling me," Kagome says.
"Good," Inuyasha states as he leans down and kisses her head. "I'll talk to my friends tomorrow. If they love me, they'll accept us. Just like Sesshomaru and my parents are doing."
Kagome nods as she wraps her arms around his neck. "But what if they don't?"
"They will, trust me. Just know Kagome, that I want you and only you," Inuyasha tells her.
"Then show me," Kagome whispers. "But we have to be very quiet. Your parents might hear us."
"They won't. They're busy right now," Inuyasha says as he slips his hands into her shorts.
"Inuyasha!"
"Shhh," Inuyasha mumbles against her lips. "Not like that. Well kinda. Just shut up and kiss me."
"Yes sir!"

Here ya'll go!
Who's Naraku really? And what's his character in the story? Hint, they didn't have an affair.
Will the girls ever like and trust Kagome?
Will Kikyo cause problems between Inuyasha and Kagome?

"What's your problem?" Kagome asks. "You've been mumbling underneath your breath since we've been out."
"Kagome, now it's not the time," Inuyasha mumbles as he grabs his wife's hand.
"No. It's the perfect time. What's your problem Kikyo?" Kagome asks as she stands up.
"You're my problem, Kagome," Kikyo snaps as she stands up.
"Explain," Kagome says with a smile as she plants both of her hands on the table and stands up.
