Inuyasha's 18th-16
Chapter 16
She Bit Me!
"Inuyasha?" Kagome came and sat next to him on the couch.
"Hm?" He smiled at the child but looked up at his mate for a quick second.
"Um, why didn't you ever have kids?" She bit her lip hoping she didn't sound rude. Inuyasha knew she meant Kikyou.
"I never found the right women who would raise my pups. I never fell in love with anyone before you." He started to rock in the chair when Naomi started to cry lightly again. He hushed her back to sleep, it was amazing to Kagome, how he could be so gentle. He was always gentle with her, but this was a baby, a human baby and Inuyasha was as strong as a thousand men, yet, he could be so calm and mild with an infant this small and weak.
"I think you'll be a great father Inuyasha." Kagome smiled at him when he lifted his head up and looked a little shocked, she patted her stomach and giggled as he blushed.
"I hope so."
"You will be! Look at you now, you're so...tame and relaxed with her." Kagome motioned towards the child in his arms. "She loves you Inuyasha, that baby already knows that you would protect her with your life."
"I would do that for any child Kagome."
"I know, even though you're mean and abusive towards Shippou I know you would never really hurt him. I know you wouldn't let anyone else hurt him." She hugged Inuyasha and sat in his lap and he placed Naomi on her lap for her to hold. Naomi squirmed around in her arms a little.
"I'll be right back." Kagome said and after a few moments and gave Naomi back to Inuyasha who gratefully took her in his arms.
"Were are you going?" he asked. "OW!!! SHE BIT ME!" Inuyasha cried and pulled the baby from his chest. Kagome laughed a bit but stifled it to a giggle. "Kagome! feed her." He raised the child up to her and rubbed his abused chest.
"I will. I have to go get her food." Kagome finally stopped laughing.
"What are you talking about? Just feed her in here." He looked up at her still holding Naomi up, who was giggling at how high she was in his arms.
"What do you mea...Inuyasha! I can't feed her like that!" Kagome figured out what he meant. He wanted her to naturally feed the child. 'What an idiot.' She thought.
"Why not? How else is she going to get fed? She has no teeth!" He made it sound like Kagome was stupid and this was obvious.
"I know that! In this time we feed them with bottles too."
"Oh,...okay."
"Come with me. I'll show how to warm up some milk and feed her." She turned but couldn't hold back a smile.
Inuyasha followed a little blush creeping to his face. When they got down stairs Kagome hurried around the kitchen and Inuyasha sat at the table watching her. It made him want to laugh at how she moved so fast like the baby was starving. She showed him that to check if the milk was too hot you put a drop on the back of your hand. She did so and said it was warm but not hot, just right. Kagome held Naomi's head up as the child suckled the bottle.
"You take her and try now." She handed the baby over and he took her in his arms then sat down on the couch in the living room next to the now awake Shiro and Kagome followed.
Hesitantly Inuyasha lifted the bottle to her mouth and grinned when she cooed and drank again. "So in your time you use bottles instead?" He asked.
"Some women do, not all though." She leaned her head on his shoulder and yawned.
"Tired?" He asked her with a hint of playfulness.
"MmHmm." She smiled. He always knew how she felt.
Inuyasha moved swiftly and laid on his side with Kagome facing him on her side. He laid Naomi and Shiro between them and held up the bottle still. Kagome wrapped her arm protectively around Naomi and fell asleep.
'She will make a great mother.' Inuyasha smiled and tossed the now empty bottle to the floor behind Kagome. Shiro jumped off the couch and slept on the floor. Inuyasha cuddled up to his mate and the small human baby and though he wasn't sleepy or tired, drifted off into a light slumber.
A few hours later Ms. H and Souta came home and woke up Inuyasha when they called his and Kagome's names. He saw Souta looking for them as he ran past the sliding doors. Inuyasha whispered to him to get the kid's attention. Souta stopped yelling and waved his mother over. Ms. H came in with a blanket and put it over the three.
"Want me to take her?" Ms. H asked and was reaching for Naomi but stopped when Inuyasha growled.
"No, we're fine." Inuyasha brushed a piece of black hair from Kagome's face.
"Okay. How was it? She wasn't crying too much was she?" Ms. H tucked the blanket under Kagome.
"No, she was fine. You were only gone for 2 hours, why do you worry so much?" He asked annoyed. He just wanted to be left alone with Kagome and Naomi right now.
"She's a baby and that's my daughter, you'll understand in a few months." She smiled and led Souta out of the room.
"Hm." Inuyasha sighed sleepily.
"Night Inuyasha!" Souta called. Inuyasha waved him bye then fell asleep again.
The next morning Inuyasha woke up to find both Kagome and Naomi gone. He leapt up and ran into the kitchen hearing his mate's laughter. To his surprise Jii-san was laughing as well. Everyone was huddled around the counter eating breakfast. Kagome was holding Naomi and feeding her with the bottle again and Souta was scribbling on what looked like one of those 'home-work' things.
"Morning Inuyasha!" Souta cried happily then ran out the door with a strange looking bag on his back. Inuyasha turned back to Kagome as she too ran out the door.
"Bye Inuyasha! I have to go to school but I'll be back soon I promise." She kissed him bye and he lightly touched her stomach before she was off again. Inuyasha walked over to the counter and sat next to Jii-san and Ms. H.
"How are you Inuyasha?" Jii-san asked a little gruffly.
"Fine." Inuyasha didn't feel like getting into an argument today.
"Good because you are going to help me clean around the shrine." Jii-san smiled.
"Let the boy have some breakfast first." Ms. H handed Inuyasha a plate of ham and some other fried meats. He ate it hungrily and thanked her for the food before following Jii-san out of the house. Shiro followed barking at everything that he passed.
