Inu Yasha's 18th-12

Kagome awoke the next morning to find Inu Yasha snoring next to her.

"Inuyasha?!" Kagome yelled startled.

"Ahhh!" Inuyasha yelled, and rolled onto the floor with a loud thud. " What was that for?!" Inuyasha looked hurt.

"Why were you sleeping with me?" Kagome asked leaning over the bed.

"I have before! And your mom said I should." Inuyasha whined.

"Ugh, I should have known, mom would do that." Kagome sighed. Inuyasha crawled back up onto the bed.

"My head hurts." Inuyasha moaned, Kagome reached over and twitched his ears and he started to purr.

"Feel better?" Kagome asked.

"Mmm.." Inuyasha leaned away slightly so she would rub the base of his ears, he purred louder. Kagome laughed and rubbed lower.

"Kagome! Inuyasha! Breakfast!" Ms. H called from the bottom of the stairs.

Inuyasha growled when Kagome stopped and got up, he wanted his ears rubbed some more!

"Oh stop it Inuyasha." Kagome pulled his sleeve a little to get hit to get out of bed. Inuyasha turned over to face her and pulled her back down with him.

"Stay." He mumbled.

"No Inuyasha, come on." She got back out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower and get changed. Inuyasha went downstairs because he smelled pig (bacon).

"Oh Inuyasha, sit over there and I'll get you some bacon." Ms. H hurried around and put some bacon on a plate and gave it to the sleeping hanyou. Inuyasha had his head down on the table and was snoring. She looked up to see Kagome walk in and sit next to Inuyasha. "You're not married yet Kagome."

Kagome looked up at her mother with a confused look. Ms. H signaled for her to look at Inuyasha, Kagome did. She then realized what her mom meant and got a huge sweat drop. "MOM!!!" She yelled. Inuyasha jumped at the sound of Kagome yelling.

"Oi Kagome, stop screaming." Inuyasha held his ears.

"Sorry Inuyasha. Hey, I thought you didn't need much sleep."

"Neither did I, I'm just more relaxed in this time and kind of tired." He yawned baring his pearly white fangs.

"See Kagome." Ms. H walked out of the room. Kagome clenched her teeth and silently cursed.

"What's she talking about Kagome?"

"Nothing! Nothing." Kagome smiled at him and ate some of his bacon.

"Do you have school today?" Inuyasha hoped not.

"No, it's Sunday so we can go anywhere you want."

"Oh okay..." He thought about it for a second prying bacon from his teeth. "Where do you want to go?"

"The mall." She grinned evilly. Poor Inuyasha didn't know what the mall was and how long a girl stayed there.

"Okay." He said and kissed Kagome. "Won't I need different clothes?"

"Yeah, you can borrow some of my dad's old stuff then we can get you some stuff at the mall."

Ms. H gave him a red shirt and some big blue jeans.. The shirt was almost skin tight but his pants were large and baggy. Kagome stood in awe for a second admiring the shirt he was wearing, it outlined his chest and stomach perfectly. Her mother noticed her staring as she tried to find Inuyasha a pair of shoes, she smiled.

"Oi, Kagome, what are you staring at?" Inuyasha asked trying on the shoes Ms. H had given him.

"OH! Nothing, Inuyasha." Kagome said and turned away. Inuyasha got up a bit clumsily in the shoes and walked over to Kagome.

"How do you stand these things?" Inuyasha asked looking at the shoes.

"Humans have to so we don't hurt our feet outside." Kagome told him, "Don't worry you'll get used to them."

"Strange." Inuyasha sighed and practiced walking as Kagome went and got her purse.

"Okay Inuyasha let's go." Kagome said happily as she walked out the door. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around her waist and cuddled her neck. Kagome gave up on trying to tell her mom they hadn't done anything and she had to admit, she loved it when Inuyasha nuzzled her.

"Have fun!" Ms. H yelled as they walked off. Kagome and Inuyasha got on the bus reluctantly and they finally arrived at the mall. "Poor boy."

"So what do you do at this 'mall'?" Inuyasha asked looking around at the huge building.

"Well, you go around to all the stores and buy things that you like." Kagome said dragging him in.

"What's the point?" Inuyasha asked beginning to not like this place.

"To enjoy yourself." Kagome said.

"Oh well, as long as you're having a good time." Inuyasha smiled and took her hand in his. Kagome lead him into JC Penny. She grabbed a bunch of outfits that caught her eye and told Inuyasha to wait as she ran into the dressing room to change. Inuyasha sat in a waiting room next to some other men that he could swear had cobwebs on them.

"What's wrong with you?" Inuyasha asked the groaning men as they saw some girls walk out then back in with more clothes.

"We're waiting for our girlfriends to finish shopping, why are you so happy?" One of the men asked him.

"She's getting all dressed up for me why shouldn't I be happy?" Inuyasha asked him.

"Is this your first time shopping with her?" One of the other men asked. Inuyasha nodded.

"Oh, well that explains it." They all nodded sagely and gave him sympathetic looks. Inuyasha sweat dropped. About 3 hours later he finally understood why human men hated to shop with their mates.

"How does this look Inuyasha?" Kagome came out and twirled around.

"Uh...nice." Inuyasha sighed. Kagome went back and changed into her original outfit then walked back out with about a dozen other outfits. "Are we leaving now?"

"No, we have to get you some clothes for this time period. I wonder what size you are." Kagome decided she'd just have him try on a lot of stuff until he found something comfortable.

"Ugh." Inuyasha followed her to another part of the store that had a sign that read 'MENS' above the area. Kagome shuffled through some racks finding some things she thought would look better on him. Every once in a while Inuyasha would come by and kiss her neck bribing her to go home now. She giggled but kept looking around.

Eventually she had 3 pairs of baggy jeans and 2 pairs of black pants made out of something else. She also had 1 black shirt, 1 red shirt, and a button down white shirt.

"Go try these on in there and come out and show me." Kagome sat down with 3 other girls who talked excitedly about their boyfriends that were getting changed. One came out and all ooed and awed. Inuyasha came out in the black t-shirt and black pants and looked a little too gothic style for Kagome's liking. She told him to try on the baggy blue jeans and red shirt next. When he came out the girls all stared jealously.

"I like that, now go try on the other black pants and white shirt." Inuyasha grumbled but went back in. When he came out he had the shirt unbuttoned. The 3 other girls just gaped in awe at his chest and stomach, when their boyfriends came out they looked on in jealousy as their girls told them to work out more. Inuyasha blushed.

"Sorry, I can't get the buttons with my claws." He smiled at Kagome who was giving the other girls the death glare, especially this old lady who was staring still.

"That's okay Inuyasha, we can leave now, I know what to get you." She giggled against his lips as he kissed her then ran to change into his other clothes again.

Inuyasha gratefully followed her to the cash register. Kagome paid for the outfits then took Inuyasha to the other end of the mall. While halfway there Inuyasha could make out the scent of dogs and could hear their distant barks. "Oi, Kagome, let's go this way." Inuyasha dragged her in the direction he smelled the dogs.

"Inuyasha why?!" Kagome yelled as he dragged her through the mall.

"Here!" Inuyasha said looking at all the cages where many dogs were barking and wagging their tales.

"Aww, how cute!!" Kagome said and dragged Inuyasha into the pet shop.

"Kagome why are they keeping the young youkai in cages?" Inuyasha asked sticking his head up to the glass of one puppy's cage.

"These aren't inu youkai, Inuyasha, they're regular human dogs." Kagome said to him.

"Oh." Inuyasha said paying attention to one particular dog. "Oi, Kagome what is this one?"

"Oh, that one? It's called a Shiba Inu." Kagome said looking at it. It barked happily at Inuyasha, he picked it up and it tugged on some of his hair and cuddled up to him. He blinked as it yawned and tried to fall asleep. "Aww, Inuyasha do you want him?"

"You mean I can keep it?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Of course you can." Kagome said happily. She went over to the cashier and paid for the puppy who now refused to leave Inuyasha's arms. "That's so cute." Kagome squeaked.

"It won't let go." Inuyasha said while the puppy grabbed more of his hair in it's mouth. "Oww!"

"One more stop and then we can go home Inuyasha!" Kagome said and walked with him into the candy store.

"What is this place?" Inuyasha asked smelling all of the sweet foods in the store.

"It's a candy shop, it sells...candy." Kagome said looking at some brown gooey stuff (otherwise known as fudge).

"What is this candy stuff, it smells good." Inuyasha said holding the puppy by a leash.

"It's sweets, umm...stuff that you eat that tastes really good but isn't good for you." Kagome tried to explain it to him.

"Can we get some of this stuff too?" Inuyasha asked sniffing the air.

"Well that's why we came in here." Kagome said and let Inuyasha pick out all the candy he wanted. They walked out of the candy store with a lot of the sugary stuff in a couple of sacks. Inuyasha ate the it on their way home and got increasingly hyper.

"Calm down Inuyasha, you're really hyper." Kagome said worriedly. Inuyasha ran around when they got home with his new puppy. Kagome laughed at his antics, suddenly Inuyasha felt his instincts taking over again.

'It must be from this 'candy' stuff I ate.' Inuyasha started to panic feeling his instincts start to over take him and his human blood ebbing away. "Kagome. Kagome run, my instincts..." Inuyasha said in a raspy voice.

"Uh, oh no Inuyasha!" Kagome said and tried to jump away but Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down to the ground. Inuyasha started to straddle her but the puppy grabbed his haori sleeve and tried to pull him off of her. He tried to get the little dog off but he started to bark and head-butted Inuyasha off to the side of her.

"Ugh!" Inuyasha held his head in his hands and shook himself of the dizziness. Kagome got up shakily the ground.

"Inuyasha are you alright?!" Kagome asked him as he growled low deep in his throat. He lifted his head and smiled evilly at her. "SIT!" He mumbled into the carpet for a few seconds.

"Kagome.....I...I'm so sorry, it must have been the candy I ate." Inuyasha stuttered. "Thanks little guy I don't want to know what would have happened if you weren't here."

"Oh, that's right...he, uh.....he needs a name." Kagome said looking at the little dog and once again acting as if it never happened. She was actually getting used to Inuyasha's sudden outbursts of instinctual behavior. She didn't find it insulting or anything because he was her mate after all and he had been controlling himself good for quite a while now.

"Umm, let's call him...Shiro, because he's white." Inuyasha said petting the puppy. He had recovered fully from the little 'thing' that just happened. He didn't mind as much since they were mates anyways.

"Ohhh, that's a perfect name for him! Do you like that Shiro?" Kagome asked the puppy who barked happily in response. "And no more candy for you Inuyasha, it makes you too hyper." Inuyasha looked guiltily at her. She went over to him and hugged him hard then gave him a long kiss. She began to massage his ears while Shiro crawled onto his lap and went to sleep. Inuyasha growled happily nuzzling Kagome playfully. He leaned closer to her and ended up somehow with his head resting in her lap with Shiro sleeping on his chest occasionally growling at Inuyasha's growls.

Inuyasha fell asleep quickly and Kagome moved a little so she could watch TV and rub his ears at the same time. Inuyasha mumbled in his sleep, "Kagome...pups...lots." Kagome leaned down to better understand his words and blushed when she finally figured out what he was saying. She smiled when he rolled over and Shiro fell to the floor with a small thump but curled back up by Inuyasha who wrapped an arm around the little puppy. 'Well, he would be a good father...It would be nice...' She was cut short by the door slamming and Souta came running into the room.
"Hey! Oh...sorry." He walked over to his sister and Inuyasha to get a better look at what Inuyasha was holding protectively. " !!! PUPPY!" He screamed and pulled the small animal out of Inuyasha's grasp since he was bust holding his ringing ears.

"Oi, does screaming run in this family?!" He cried as he sat up.

"Souta! Don't be so loud!" Kagome scolded her little brother.

"It's so cute, what's it's name?" Souta asked rubbing Shiro's belly.

"Ugh, little brothers." Kagome sighed.

"It's Shiro." Inuyasha said while Kagome massaged his ears to help stop the ringing.

"Oh, cool!" Souta said happily.

"Souta! Leave Kagome and Inuyasha alone....oh, you got a puppy Kagome how cute, I'll have to go and get some puppy chow, come on Souta." Ms. H chimed and dragged Souta out of the room.

"For once I'm glad she barged in like that." Kagome said, she looked over at the clock, "Wow, it's early, but I'm so tired. I'm gonna go to bed, you coming?"

"Yeah, sure." Inuyasha said and drowsily followed Kagome up the stairs. Kagome went into her bathroom to change into her pajamas. Inuyasha was already under the covers when she got out. "For once you didn't take a bath."

"I didn't really feel like it." Kagome got under the covers next to Inuyasha who wrapped his arms around her resting hi chin on her head. Shiro scratched at the door and whimpered a little until Kagome got up and let him in. She held him in her arms and snuggled back into bed with Inuyasha.
