PI do not own Inuyasha or any other characters in Inuyasha....Like you didn't guess that one. PCenter~*~*~*~*~*~*~*P PChapter 2:A family trip P"Is something wrong Sesshomaru?"Kagome asked seeing him turn to her.She moves over to him placing a hand on his face. P"No, I was wondering where you got the demoness inside of you from?Your mother and brother are both full humans.Is your brother only half?"He reaches up taking her hand in his.Her eyebrows come together in a confused manner.Sesshomaru releases her hand and turns away from her.He didn't like to show emotions around anyone, even Kagome, he didn't trust a soul.Not even himself.Emotions equaled weakness.And he wasn't weak.So only a few emotions slipped by him, the ones that people feared.Given he had sliped up and smiled and laughed once or twice while he was here but he couldn't help it he liked these people. P"Sesshomaru."Kagome called out.He heard her voice sadden some and her feet lightly touch the ground as she walked over to him were he stood.He turned to meet her once she stood behind him."I have a favor to ask of you."She looks down at the floor while talking to him. P"Yes Kagome, what is it you wish?"He paced a hand to her chi and raised it so she looked him in the face"Never look down when speaking to me.You are a lady of the west and rule by my side.No one is more important to me then you.I may not be an emotional man, but know that." PKagome smiled slightly."Yes, love, I was wondering if once the children were born we could visit agion?Mama is so happy about Shippo and Rin and..."Her voice drifts off as he leans down kissing her.She closed her eyes kissing him back.His lips parted from hers. P"Kagome, you may come back anytime you desire.Your family is...loving, they have not known my name but for 10 minutes and have welcomed me as part of you all, along with the children. I wouldn't mind visiting them often."He turns walking of once again in search of his mother-in-law. P"You look so cute Rin, I thought that would fit you."Kagomes mom smiles as Rin runs around in her daughters old clothes.Sesshomaru catches Rin as she about falls on her face from tripping over the fluffy creature that hisses once more before running up the steeps.Sesshomaru looks after it in wonder.Rin laughs at her fathers face."It's our family cat Sesshomaru."She goes to a box and looks through it finding some pants and a shirt. PSesshomaru sniffs the air.No demon secant could be picked up.Her mother, her father, and her brother were not demons so why was Kagome."Kagomes father was not a demon I assume since I do not smell demon on these clothes also do not smell it on you or Sota.So why is she a demon?"He sits down and Rin jumps on his back playing with his cheeks so he smiled."Rin stop that."He said through clenched teeth as Kagome's mom started to laugh at him. P"You would have a wonderful smile Sesshomaru.I am not sure why she is demon.I was very surprised to find that out too."She hands him some pants and a t-shirt."Here you go.There is a bathroom up the steps and the 3rd door to the right, or Kagomes room is up the steps."She smiles taking Rin up the steps and into the kitchen. He heads up the stairs carrying the strange clothes then going to find Kagome.He enters her room and watches her a minute before clearing his throat.She jumps a few feet in the air and turns holding her chest. P"Oh my gods."She mutters breathing hard"You scared me half to death!"She turns back around and sits back on the floor.She wears a pair of jeans and her bra.She searches for a shirt. P"Really, I guess I'll try harder next time."He teases, changing. P"I'll remember that."Kagome mutters and smiles evily"When we get back to Kaede's village." P"I was joking Kagome."He mutters pulling the shirt over his head."Ready?" PShe gives him a are-you-stupid- look"I dont have a shirt on."She throws a shirt to the side where a pile of them lay."Nothing fits like it use to.They are all to tight in the chest.."She mutters to herself half forgetting Sesshoamru was there. PSesshomaru rolls his eyes."You have to be the only one to complain about that Kagome."He sits beside her and pulls out a shirt looks it over with a nasty look on his face and slings it to the side then gets another."Here this one is big and alot more consealing then those." PKagome puts it on.She wore a pair of flare jeans and an American eagle shirt that she bought off E-bay last summer on her way to the beach.Sesshomaru wore a pair of bootcut jeans with a white shirt that showed off his muscles and some old tennis shoes.Kagome pulled on her boots and then knocked Sesshomaru to the ground playfully before running out the door to find the rest of them.He chased after her catching her as they reached the steps.She moved around making him loose his balance and they fall down the steps.Sesshomaru holds on to her tightly and turns so she lands softly on his stomach.He sits up holding her bridle style in his arms.A concerned look on his face."Are you all right Kagome?!"He looks her over frantically, knowing she wasn't bleeding internally or externaly."You shouldn't play around like that."He glares at her hotly. P"Im fine.Sorry I didn't think it'd make us fall down the steps...besides you didn't iHave/i to come after me after I pushed you down."Her family was surrounding them now. PSesshomaru snapped at her biting her on the cheek."Then you shouldn't have pushed me if you didn't want to get paid back."He sits her down and stands up.Kagomes mom gives them both evil looks P"If either of you hurt my grandbabys, demons or not, I'll make you pay."Sesshomaru and Kagome changed scared looks.The middle aged women looked scary. PShippo ran over to Kagome eating some icecream"Are you alright.He recognized the bite mark Sesshomaru had made.One of love."You'r luck Papa didn't make it so he landed on you."Shippo smiles as Kagome chuckles then gulps at Sesshomarus look.He hides behind his grandma. PAfter the children eat they pile into the car.In the front Kagomes mom drives and Sesshomaru sits beside her.In the back Kagome holds Rin on her lap with the seatbelt around them both while Shippo sits in the seat beside her in the middle and Sota sits by the other door.They all talk to each other but for Sesshomaru who continues to think about different things and doesn't partake in their songs Kagome and her mom teach the children.The car stops. P"All right, we're here everyone."Kagomes mom calls getting out.Sesshomaru does the same and opens the door for Kagome, he takes Rin from her and holds a hand out to help her out of the car.He then takes Shippo out of the seat belt since he can't seem to figure the contraption out.He lifts then both to his shoulders.Shippo had taken on a form of a boy that looked like Sota so no one would wonder why he looked like that. P"Were are we going first Mama?"Kagome asks taking her mother's arm, she then takes Sota's and Sesshomaru walks behind her. "Sesshomaru get up here with us.Or are you ashamed to be seen with us?" PSesshomaru shakes his head and walks beside Sota who rolls his eyes trying to break his sisters grip. P"I dont know if he is but I know I am.To be seen with linked arms with my sister....How gay is that?'Sota asked and Kagome let him go, she shakes her head. P"All right we should go to The mens section first, you know how they hate to wait and shop so we should let them go first.It only takes a minute anyways."Her mother winks and they walk over finding Sesshomaru's size."Here try these on, they seem to be popular now."She hands him a pair of baggy pants which hang off him a good bit when he walks out of the dressing room.Causing Kagomes mom to avert her eyes quickly and Kagome to cover her mouth.(*0*) PThey shop around for a few hours til everyone has a few days worth of clothes they didn't have before and Kagome had a few new dresses.Then Kagomes mom took Shippo and Rin home leaving the rest there and promising to come back in a hour and a half to pick them up."So what are we still doing here?"Sesshomaru asked crossing his arms. P"Because Christmas is in two days and I want to get the kids and you a gift...please.."She begs with puppy dog eyes. PHe melted, with a sigh and a growled he noded."What are we getting them?"Then it hit him."Me?" P"Hum?What about you?"Sota asked confused. P"She's getting me something?"He looked around not seeing Kagome"Where did that women run off to?" P"To the toy shop for the kids.Yeah, she'll get you something.What are you geting her?" P"Huh?I have to get her something?" p"It is Christmas." P"I never heard of Christmas until I was here."He frowns"What should I get her?" P"I'll help you find it."He takes him by the arm and runs to the jewelry store. "Look around here for something pretty and fancy."Sesshomaru watched him run off to the nightgowns.He frowned but did as told finding a ring and a necklace he liked and thought Kagome would to."Alright did you find anything?" He lays down a long silk white nightgown. P"Yes, these two things .:"He points to them a lady pulls them out and holds the price tags out to Sesshomaru who turns to Sota he nods. P"Yeah we have the money don't worry."he hands the nightgown to the lady."Hold this stuff for us will you.We need to find a dress or something."The lady smiles and nods.Sota drags Sesshomaru to the dresses and they look around not finding anything."Hum...a candle."he drags Sesshomaru to the candle part of the store.Sesshomaru holds his nose P"So this is the sorce of that smell."He walks over to one and picks it up"I think the way this one smells reminds me of and your sister when I first met her." P"Water Lilies and Apples...yeah sounds like Kagomes Shampo."Sota laughs and they return to buy the items. P****elsewere***** P"And your sure this is the strongest one ever made?"Kagome ask the man who runs the swords and daggers and knifes. P"yes ma'am it is the strongest in the area."He turns around and Kagome trys to slice it in two but it dosen't work.She smiles. P"I'll take it sir."He nods and she pays then hides in it a few bags in with the children's toys.
