The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...

Chapter Nineteen: What'd You Say?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that night...

Inuyasha, Kagome and Kawayou had come to a hard truce. Inuyasha wanted them to go back to the village. Kawayou wanted to remain near the well all night long to see if it would open back up, and Kagome was between a rock and a hard place. She wanted to wait by the well too, just in case it did open back up. But she remembered that it had tooken almost five years to open up last time, and she started to remember that it was getting cold. She had finally accepted Inuyasha's idea, despite the barking from Kawayou, but she made him promise that they would come back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, until the well opened back up.

Inuyasha 'Keh'd' his response.

Kagome couldn't help but smile. Even after all these years, she still could understand his 'Keh's', 'Feh's' and 'Bah's'. "Thank you." she replied.

Later that night in Kaede's hut....

Kaede looked at everyone currently sharing her little hut. "Do all of ye need to be in here?" she questioned.

Miroku just looked at her. "We don't want to intrude on someone's hut."

Kaede sighed. 'Ye are intruding on someone's hut.' She decided to leave the comment unanswered and turned toward Kagome and Kawayou who were sitting right behind her. Kagome was laying with her back against the wall, with Kawayou wrapped up in a blanket starting to shiver. Shippou was curled up on the little dog demon's lap, hoping his fur would help him.

Kaede looked at the pair. 'Where did Inuyasha wander off to?'

Meanwhile, outside somewhere beneath the currently falling snow, a hanyou was running around looking for something...

Kawayou started to pet Shippou's tail and looked up at his mom. "Mommy, where'd the big lug go?"

Kagome looked back down at him and smiled. "He didn't say, remember? Just that he'd be back soon."

"The well's going to open up soon again, isn't it?" Kawayou asked.

Kagome looked at her son, knowing that she didn't want to lie to him. Besides, he'd see right through it. "I don't know honey."

Kawayou looked back down at Shippou. "But what about Syaoran, mom?"

Kagome knew now wasn't the time to smile, but she had to on the inside. Her son hadn't cussed since he fell asleep. 'Maybe my words finally got through to him.'

"Dammit, Syaoran's my friend! If ANYONE hurts him I'm going to ****ing rip them to pieces!"

'...maybe not.' Kagome sighed.

Then as swiftly as the half youkai had left, he returned just as swiftly to Kagome's side before she registered he even entered the door. He had a grin on his face. "I found it."

Everyone turned around in the hut to see what the hanyou was referring to.

Inuyasha started to pull Kawayou towards him and dragged him out of his blanket.

"Hey jack***! It's cold, put me back!" Kawayou barked.

Inuyasha ignored his pleas and stood his pup up in front of him. Then, he set the tetsusaiga next to a wall and pulled something out of his kimono...

Everyone kept looking at it as if they couldn't believe what they saw.

Miroku pointed at it. "Where did you get that from?"

Inuyasha ignored his comment and helped Kawayou put it on.

A couple minutes later...

Kawayou played with the string of his bright new red kimono. It looked just like his dad's, but a miniature version.

Inuyasha pulled Kawayou closer to him and looked at him proudly.

Kagome couldn't help but smile. "Inuyasha!" she laughed. "Where did you get that?!"

Inuyasha handed Kawayou back to her. "Well, I didn't go around freezing naked when I was a pup."

"You kept your clothing after all these years?" Kagome still asked amazed. "Why?"

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "Why else? To save on work. Do you know how hard it is to kill a fire rat and be skilled enough to make clothes out of it?"

Kagome looked at him, like he still hadn't answered her question. Kawayou just ignored the conversation. He didn't particularly care if it once belonged to his dad or not. It was comfy and warm and that's all he cared about. 'This is cool! It looks like the one grandma had given me!'

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome, still seeing she wanted a better explanation. "What? Okay, so it slipped my mind the first time you were here. I had too much in my head to remember it."

Kagome continued to look at him. Inuyasha instead was starting to register the fact Shippou had climbed back on Kawayou. "You better not be shedding on that runt."

Shippou just stuck his tongue at him. True, his new friend may not have the ability to sit Inuyasha anymore, but he was currently in his lap, and he was in Kagome's. Ha! In his mind he was even safer. Thinking more about Inuyasha's comment, he started to rub his head playfully on Kawayou's new kimono.

Inuyasha growled. Okay, so it wasn't exactly HIS kimono anymore, but still! "Shippou, if you don'-!"

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked back over at her, temporarily forgetting Shippou. "You still haven't answered me. Why would you want to save your little kimono?"

Inuyasha blinked at her. "Hell, you didn't figure it out?" He pointed at Kawayou. "Need something for my pups." He leaned back against the wall. "Next time I'll have to go and do all the work myself." he said as he started to close his eyes.

Kagome suddenly had a strange expression on her face that seemed to make Kaede, Sango and Miroku smile. "Next time? What do you mean...next time?"

Inuyasha lazily opened his eyes back up and glanced at her. "For next time. The other pups are gonna need something to wear too."

Kagome let out a small gasp that sounded a little like a strange squeal. Kawayou on the other hand suddenly had his ears perked up. He looked over at Inuyasha. "I'm gonna have brothers and sisters?"

Inuyasha started to close his eyes. "Sure. Six or seven at least."

Kagome just looked at the hanyou, not knowing exactly how to respond. Although, her friends could see her face was as red as Kawayou's new kimono.

Miroku leaned over to Sango and whispered softly. "Do you suspect that she is red from blushing? Or is it anger?"

Sango looked back at him. "I believe it's a mixture of both."

While Kaede, Sango, Miroku and Shippou were waiting to see if she would sit the Hanyou to oblivion, something unexpected happened that Kagome was not prepared for.

"This is boring." Kawayou said as he continued to play with the strings on his Kimono. "Can't we watch T.V. or something?"

Kagome looked down at Kawayou and started to feel guilty. She never told him that much about the Sengoku Jidai. He had NO CLUE how FAR back in time they were. 'Of course he doesn't!' she scolded herself. 'He's only four years old!'

"Uhhh..." Kagome started to feel a large sweatdrop on her forehead. "They don't have T.V. back in this time."

Kawayou didn't bother looking up at his mom. "How about a radio then?"

Kagome shook her head.

"...A microwave?"

Kagome shook her head again as her friends started hearing the new words being emitted from the boy.

Kawayou looked up, trying to get a feel for what was around. His mom shot down everything he thought had been around forever. 'Well, this place has to have this. It's been around for like forever.' "Refrigerator?"

Kagome shook her head no once again.

Kawayou's heart started to thump. Was this place nothing but a huge national park? He started to fumble for anything and everything he could think of. "Computers? Window shades? VCR's? Towels? Lava Lamps? Garbage bags? Dishwashers? Toothpaste? Fans? Washers and Dryers?"

Miroku looked back at Sango. Sango eyed him wearily.

"Are those words future curse words?" Miroku asked.

Sango just shrugged his shoulders.

Kagome started to shake her head no as she put her hand over his mouth. "No Kawayou. This time is VERY old."

Kawayou blinked at his mom. "Can't be older than the Great Geezer. Nothing's older than him."

Kagome smiled nervously. "Yes, it's older than him."

Kawayou just blinked at his mom again, stunned. "Wow. This place IS old!"

Miroku and Sango looked at each other. 'Just how far into the future is Kagome's time?' they thought.

Kawayou leaned back into his mom. "Man, that sucks. This is gonna take some gettin' used to." He looked up at his mom. "I'm getting hungry. Can I have a Snickers?"

Inuyasha's ears started to twitch. 'When the hell is the pup gonna shut up?'

Kagome smiled nervously down at him. "They don't have candybars here, Kawayou."

Kawayou's ears perked up. "None?! Damn, how ****ed up is this time if it doesn't even have candybars?!"

Kagome sighed as she saw his reaction. It was apparent he wasn't adapting well.

"What about Chef Boyardee's Raviolo? Pizza? Potato Chips? Snack Cakes?" Then, suddenly something else hit Kawayou. "What about POP? They have pop, right?! They gotta have pop! Pepsi? Dr. Pepper?! Barg's Root Beer?!"

Kagome shook her head no as Inuyasha opened up one of his eyes. "Hey, Kagome. Will you shut the pup up already?"

Kagome ignored Inuyasha and looked down at her son. Almost every modern convenience he ever knew was being tooken away, and they wouldn't be getting it back. ESPECIALLY, if they didn't get back to the other side soon.

"No caffeine, no caffeine..." she heard him chanting over and over. "No pop, no candy, no T.V..." He looked up expectantly at his mom. 'This is the oldest and most cheapest thing in the world. This HAS to be here!' "What about Spam and Macaroni and Cheese?"

Kagome bit her lip and shook her head no. "No Kawayou. This is a world that doesn't even have Shampoo."

Kawayou started to whine. "What?! Not even THAT?!" He started to whimper. "I can't live like this."

Inuyasha had finally had enough of his pup's whining. He sat up and pulled Kawayou away from Kagome, toward him.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Kawayou barked in protest at his dad while Shippou jumped off his lap.

Inuyasha ignored him and stuck Kawayou on his lap.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, wondering what he was gonna do. 'He doesn't understand how Kawayou feels right now.'

Everyone looked at Inuyasha wondering what he was planning on doing. Even Kaede who often stayed out of the hanyou's business found herself watching the scene intently.

"If you bop him on the head, I'll chew your ears off!" Shippou threatened.

Inuyasha ignored him and looked down at Kawayou. He had no clue why his pup was so upset, he just knew he was. So...

He started to scratch behind his pup' ears.

Everyone just looked stunned. Were they really seeing this? Was Inuyasha REALLY scratching the back of Kawayou's ears?

Kawayou wanted to protest about the strange action. No one but his mommy touched his ears! But...he couldn't help it. The simple repeating action was somehow causing him to relax.

Kagome smiled. She couldn't believe it! She had petted his ears, sure. But actually scratch behind them like he was ACTUALLY a dog? She thought he'd never stand for that! But apparently...

Kawayou had a big grin on his face. Having someone scratch him behind the ears felt REALLLY good!

When Inuyasha figured out his pup was calming down he stopped. He continued to hold him but closed his eyes. "There, happy? Will you shut up now?"

Kawayou looked up at his dad. He still felt WAY out of place, like there's no way he should deserve to be there but....he did feel kind of better. He looked around and realized the pervert, the old crone and the tough chick had all fallen asleep. 'I'll bark some more at everyone tomorrow' he decided.

Then he realized Inuyasha was STILL holding him. He started to struggle to get out, but he just held him there tighter with his left hand. With his right he pulled Kagome over closer and made her lean on his shoulder. Kagome quietly obliged.

Kawayou crossed his arms. HE wanted to be in his mom's lap! Luckily his fuzzy kitsune friend soon came over and nestled into his lap.

Inuyasha opened his eyes as he felt something brush against his arm holding Kawayou. He growled when he saw the perpetrator.

Shippou ignored him and just made himself comfortable in Kawayou's lap. He knew Inuyasha had his arm comfortably around Kagome and that he had his other arm holding Kawayou so he wouldn't run off.

Inuyasha continued to growl as he slowly figured out there wasn't anything he could do. Both his hands were occupied at the moment, so he couldn't bop the kitsune on the head.

Kawayou just grinned as he heard his dad's futile protesting growls and petted Shippou as he closed his eyes.
