**Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha…Blah….Blah…Heard it last time. But I DO own Amei and Kani, so no touchy for them without my permission!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After enjoying a nice walk by herself, with "quality time" Kagome made her way back to the hut, knowing Kani would soon wake up. No telling what Inu-Yasha would do if the hyper 3 year old woke up, and he was there by himself. Probably sit in a corner and wait for Kagome to get back. Kagome chuckled at the thought of walking into the hut to find Inu-Yasha with ramen all over him and Kani running around wild. Kani would do it…She was quite a dare devil for her age. Maybe she was too young to know the difference.
Upon nearing the hut, Kagome heard a loud crash from within it, and hurried onward to investigate. Upon reaching the heavy wooden door, which was closed, Kagome heard yet another crash from inside and the yell of a voice. "Baka!" Kagome recognized the voice as Amei's and opened the door to find the inside of the hut in ruins, while Amei was chasing Kani around the hut, while Inu-Yasha chasing Amei. It looked like something Souta used to watch on his cartoons Kagome though, as she stepped it.
As soon as Kagome's foot hit the wooden floor, everything in the room freezed. Casting a look to her sister than to her father, Kani ran and almost flew into Kagome's arms. "Okaachan! Amei started it! Otouchan woke me up, cause he was was asleep and he was moving his legs like a doggie does sometimes! And then Amei came in, and looked at Otouchan and laughed. And then Otouchan woke up! And when he woke up Oneichan stopped laughing and her face was all grumpy and stuff, just like Otouchans! And then Amei somehow managed to get that hard breakfast stuff in my hair, and I started crying. And then Otouchan and Amei was all yelling and stuff and then we started to run and then you came!" Kani said, quite tired after her long story.
Looking from Inu-Yasha's guilty face to Amei scowling one, Kagome shook her head. "Will you two ever get along? You would think you would at least be able to get along long enough to watch over Kani! Setting a bad example…What about when she grows up? Amei!" Amei cringed at her mother's sharp tone, but she answered anyway. "Yes, Okaachan?" "What were you doing picking on you sister?" Kagome's tone could tell anyone, she was in charge here. Even over Inu-Yasha. "Oh…It just seemed like the best thing to do. I mean dad has spent half his life getting his ass beat up by his brother."
Inu-Yasha turned on his first offspring at her latest comment. "Hey! Just because when I was younger that idiot Sesshoumaru pushed me around, doesn't mean you can do it to Kani!" His words surprised both Amei and Kagome, but Amei didn't show it. "Just because I picked on your precious Kani doesn't mean you have the right to slaughter me! I mean I'm your d-" Stopping before she finished her sentence, AmeI gave one last huff and left the hut. She muttered something that only Inu-Yasha could hear as she left the hut. "I'm nobody's daughter."
Watching Amei leave, Kagome then turned to Inu-Yasha. "I'm not finished yet! And you, Inu-Yasha! You were supposed to be watching Kani, but instead you fell asleep. What if she would of woke up and gotten into the my bag again?" Inu-Yasha recalled the last time that happened. There had been underwear strung around the house for days, as it took a couple of days to find them all. "Well the point is that she didn't. Everything would have been fine if Amei hadn't come. I swear that girl is impossible." Inu-Yasha added with a mutter. "Like your not!" Kagome said, then with a huff walked out of the door, but the opposite way of Amei, Kani still in her arms.

A few days later, after the incident with Inu-Yasha, Amei, and Kani, Kagome was going to leave for about an hour. "I'm going to ride with Miroku-sama, and Sango-chan to their village. Inu-Yasha can you please watch Kani? She isn't feeling well today, so I'm not going to take her. But you!" Kagome said, turning to Amei, who has just entered the room from helping Sango and Miroku with a small task. "Your coming with me!" Amei looked downcast, for she had hoped to see an old friend today. But nothing could be done. "Yes." she muttered.
After Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Amei had climbed up onto the transformed Kirara, they left leaving a sullen looking Inu-Yasha who was holding the child in his arms. Kani was waving "bye" vigorously, until Kirara had gone from site.
Setting Kani down, Inu-Yasha looked at her wondering what to say. This was only the second time he had been left with her, when she was actually awake. The first time she was no more than a infant, hardly capable of any damage. But not…It was different. "So…You sleepy?" Inu-Yasha asked hopefully. Maybe he could get out of this. "Nope." Came the answer from a bored Kani. "Well….What do you want to do?" Kagome had said keep Kani entertained, and then she wouldn't be no problem. Easier said then done…For Inu-Yasha at least.
"I want to go to the Yu!" Kani said excitedly. "The Yu" as Kani called it, was a small little hot spring near where they lived. It was a nice little place to rest and relax, and Inu-Yasha often found himself there. "Let's go then!" Inu-Yasha said, wishing Kagome was there to help him. Kani reached her hands up toward her father, and Inu-Yasha reluctantly picked her up. Then he started walking toward the direction of the hot spring.
Taking about 5 minutes to get to the hot spring, Inu-Yasha watched as Kani played in the warm water. Even though the water was shallow, you could never be to careful. After about 20 minutes of this Kani got out of the hot spring and tugged on her fathers hand. "Nani? Ready to go home?" Inu-Yasha said, sounding more hopeful than he meant to. "I hafta go pee." Inu-Yasha stared at his daughter for a couple of seconds, before answering. "Didn't you go before your mother left." "Yes…But I drank some of the water." Kani said, pointing toward the hot spring.
Giving her a look that said "Do I really have to?" Inu-Yasha took Kani's hand and muttered. "Come on." He said, ending it all with a sigh. Bring her to a large bush he motioned behind it. "Now….Just go behind it." Kani gave her father the same look he had given her moment's before, then answered. "I don't know how to get it off." She said motioning to the pink kimono with the sakura blossoms on it. "Okaachan always does it for me."
Kani could of swore she saw her father's eye twitch when she told him this. "Do not worry, Otouchan. You have seen Okaachan naked." Inu-Yasha about fainted right there, but he kept up to beat, sweat beads starting to form. "Eheheheh…What makes you say that?" "Sister told me…" Kani said and then adding a desperate. "I really have to go!" Silently cursing Amei and what he had to do, Inu-Yasha brung his daughter around to the other side.
***
After relieving herself, and with Inu-Yasha's help, the two went straight back home. They decided they would play a game and wait for Kagome and Amei to arrive.
Stepping into the hut, Kani immediately went to her mother's bag. "No! Kani!" Inu-Yasha said, running over and sweeping Kani up before she could drag anything out. "Was just getting the colors…" Kani said, trying to get out of her father's grasp. "Colors?" Inu-Yasha said, and put her down. "Yup." Kani said, taking out a box of crayons and a Pokemon coloring book.
So Kani spent the rest of the evening with her "colors" When Kagome came in, followed closely by Amei, she was surprised to see Kani quietly coloring, and Inu-Yasha looking at one of Kagome's glamour magazine's. "Well…I see you two got along good." Kagome said, quite happy. Amei muttered something from behind her back that Kagome chose to ignore.
"Oh…..Inu-Yasha! I have something to tell you." Inu-Yasha looked up from a make up he had been looking at. "This may come as a surprise to you, but I completely forgot. Next week is Souta's birthday." Kagome said, and then stopped, waiting for Inu-Yasha to think about these words. "So?" Inu-Yasha said, quite interested in wrinkle reducing. "Well you know every year around his birthday, I go stay for a week! And I'm pretty sure you don't want to come.." Inu-Yasha answered her question with a grunt. "And Amei doesn't want to go either…And so I figured this would be good bonding time for you two, like Father Daughter Time! I was going to leave Kani to, but I decided she needs to see her Grandma." Amei and Inu-Yasha both jumped at this. "Nani?!" They said at the same time, and then exchanging scowls.
"Well…Yes...I feel you need to get to know Amei better, and this looks like the perfect opportunity. I will be leaving tomorrow morning Inu-Yasha. Now…I am going to bed." Kagome made these words harsh, so Inu-Yasha knew the argument was over. Amei muttered something…She had thought Kani was going to stay also. She was about to leave to go outside when her father's voice stopped her. "Don't go! I need you to watch Kani." Inu-Yasha said, and then left before Amei could protest.
Inu-Yasha had to get ready….If he was going to spend a whole week with just him and Amei he better think of something that would make their contact…Less…Physical.
