Chapter Fifty One - The Dog and the Bat

Inuyasha. This was the same Inuyasha from Kagome's past? He pictured someone… younger.

His wife was sobbing in the man's arms, their embrace so tight that left wrinkles in her clothes. Even in his sixties (or probably seven hundred'), this Inuyasha guy was good looking. They separated after long minutes. Her eyes and nose were red, but her smile brightened the room.

"Wench, is that really you? That old bloke downstairs said Mr. and Mrs. Weasley."

"I'm Mrs. Weasley now." She flashed a toothy smile, like a child introducing her new friend to her mother. He never saw anything that cute before. "This is George Weasley, my husband."

"Husband, huh? Nice to meet ya, mate." Inuyasha extended a hand to him. "Taisho. Inuyasha Taisho and this is my mat-wife, Shiori." he may look old but his grip was strong.

"Shiori from the Bat Clan?" asked Kagome in awe.

"Former Bat Clan. We have our own pack now." Shiori answered in a soft voice. "It has been a long time, Kagome."

"Yes, it is." They hugged. Differently from the previous embrace Kagome shared with Inuyasha, this one showed gratitude and relief.

"And you married a wizard, wench, huh? I always knew that Hobo didn't have a chance." Hobo? Did he mean Hojo? Kagome never told him they dated. Inuyasha sniffed. "So you are looking for a new place because the family is growing. Here is good. We raised our youngest girl here. Your girl will like the room with the backyard view."

"Inuyasha!" Shiori slapped his arm.

"What I did, you old hag?!"

"What if they didn't know the gender yet?"

"Now they know. What's the problem?"

"They could have wanted a surprise!"

"Why they need a surprise? She will be fucking born in a few months."

While they argued, George saw the Kagome had a dreaming look in her eyes. A hand was placed over her still not showing belly. He placed his hand over hers. A girl. His firstborn will be a girl. If the Weasley blood keeps its strength, a red-haired freckled girl. He wanted to dance, to sing, to cry out of happiness.

"It's ok, Shiori. Inuyasha never had a drop of tact in his life." Kagome tried to apologize for her friend.

"And now he's too old to learn." Shiori sighed deeply. "Let me show you some things you must know about this place." she guided Kagome in a tour around the flat, leaving George and Inuyasha alone in the room. The silence didn't last long.

"So, how long you have known the wench?"

"Since August."

"Less than a year and she's already with child? You are a quick bastard, aren't you?" He tapped his shoulder. In his face was stamped a cheeky grin.

"Er, thank you?"

"You know, Kagome loves with all of her heart." Inuyasha wasn't looking at him, but the back of the women. "I had a very good and long life. A loving wife, several children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, trustful friends. All because of Kagome. However, back in time, I was too young and too stupid to see this and I regret how badly I treated her."

"She speaks very fondly of you."

"I bet she does. That's why I never deserved someone like her. You neither." George raised one brow and put a hand over the wand in his pocket. "I can easily say no one deserves her. Yet she loves you, that's what the runt said. And you better treat her like the treasure she is. You better make up every day and remember the lucky bastard you are for having someone like her. I may look old, but I will outlive you for many, many years. And this puny stick of yours won't protect you from my claws if I ever hear you made her cry."

A pointy claw as touching his chest and a sharp fang could be seen popping out Inuyasha's lip. George, however, didn't chicken out. He straightened his back and removed the finger from his person. Giving a serious glare, he said.

"You don't have to worry, demon. If anything, you are my role model of what not to do."

"The runt was right, you are a good match for Kagome. Here," He handed him a set of keys. "This place is yours."

"Why are you giving me this?"

"I'm not giving you, I'm giving her. You are just in the package. As I said, everything I have is because Kagome was stupid enough to love me five hundred years ago. Giving her a place to start her own family is the least I can do to repay."

"But I can pay, you don't have to-"

"Man, I have been alive for over seven hundred years. When I said I raised my youngest here it was almost fifty years ago. I won't have my friend paying a mortgage for years when I have an unused place to provide."

I hope you liked.

I'll update as soon as I have time to write again.

I love your support. It motivates me so much!
