Time Trip: Meet Another Dad
"Well that settles that." Lady Yukio cooed as her son paced frantically. "He isn't angry, and he understands that you are ill."
"No, he knows I'm ill, but he's still highly disturbed by the fact that one of his son's could give a..."
"Language!"
"Sumimasen, Kasan." Inuyasha bowed slightly, as he and his mother had agreed he would do whenever he used inappropriate language around her.
"Really Inuyasha, it worries me that you've picked up such a terrible vocabulary."
"It just became habit. I heard them used during fights and I just sent them back at the same people who said them to me. I wasn't greeted well in human villages, and other demons thought I was useless, so I didn't associate with many classy people. Heck, my best friend is a delinquent monk who asks every young lady he meets to bear his child, and he's an improvement over the usual. He has some morals at least."
"Well, I think I'll have something to eat."
"You just ate breakfast not that long ago."
"I had your breakfast, now I'll eat mine." Lady Yukio pointed at her swollen stomach. Never tell a pregnant woman she's eating too much, and never try to separate one from her rice bowl before it is empty. One gets you an earful. The other risks the loss of a limb." The pair giggled, and Inuyasha called a servant to bring a very strange order.
"I'll have plain rice with lots of salt, a bowl of fruit, and a cup of weak tea with mint. Oh, some broccoli too, with cream and toasted snow peas. Yes I think that would be lovely."
"Kasan that is the single strangest combination of foods I've ever heard."
"Growing babies make strange requests."
"I've never dealt with a pregnant woman so I just don't know."
"We aren't that unreasonable as long as you keep you little paws away from our food. Do that, or tease us for our weight gain or eating habits and your better off leaving as quickly as possible. I know, I dealt with my aunt's two pregnancies before I met your Chichi-ue."
"I'll remember that."
"Planning on dealing with a pregnant female soon?"
"The way Miroku is going I just might."
"I get the impression you are learning to live with whatever is wrong with you."
"I just have to rein in my thoughts and concentrate on something else I don't mind saying. It is very hard to do."
"I don't doubt that." Lady Yukio reached over to pet her son's ears until a servant came with the food. With a look that clearly said he'd seen stranger requests, he set down the tray on a block and padded out of the room. The broccoli, toasted snow peas, and cream were gone almost before Inuyasha could smell the disgusting looking mix. The sliced fruit was next, eaten neatly, but with the same speed Inuyasha ate Ramen. The rice didn't go as fast, most likely because there was a generous amount piled high into the bowl, but once again it was practically inhaled. Lady Yukio sipped her tea daintily. Amazingly she remained spotless during her meal, which lasted a minute flat. Inuyasha was dumbstruck.
"Well that's where I get that trait." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Hmm? Oh never mind. Shall we go for a walk? I haven't been to the gardens for quite a while."
"Alright Kasan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sumimasen is a very polite way of saying "I'm sorry." Literally it means 'I have committed a rudeness' and it is probably the last thing Inuyasha would ever say to anybody in any other circumstance. He must love his mommy. If Kagome is really lucky she can get a mumbled 'gomen' (similar to street slang) from him. No 'gomen nasai' (proper, mildly polite).
No fears! I don't do Sesshoumaru/Kagome. Sesshoumaru only has one soul mate and her name is Kagara (yes the wind demon daughter of Naraku). She shows special preference to his company in a few episodes. Even goes to him for help (and is turned down but allowed to leave without so much as a harsh word). Sessh/Rin is wrong! Rin is a little kid! Bad people, bad! You sit! Stay! Read my other fics. Good fans. By the way, I haven't given a physical description of Jonathan on purpose. I don't think I will.
Thanks for the compliments! I'll try not to get a swelled head from the 105 reviews! 105! Yippy! *Transforms into her dragon form.* Whoa, calm down girl. *Snaps back to reality.*
Pruningshears: You certainly haven't seen anything yet, I think Kouga comes in somewhere between 30 and 42. I never heard Kagome's name translated that way. Special thanks for the characterization comment, I try to keep everybody as in character as possible. Inuyasha in this fic is a little off, but I've got a good reason!
Tinuviel2: I try to avoid 'perfect characters' at all costs! I did it a few times in my earliest work (in seventh grade) and they were totally unbelievable. So I purposely give every one of my characters a terrible flaw, which makes life hard for them. Jonathan is scatterbrained. Nishi had some youthful mistakes that keep biting him in the butt. (How else did he get married to a bi... uh, I mean witch like Shinju?) Do I even need to say what's wrong with Shinju? It might take all day! Seriously though, Jonathan is a character I made with the goal of him being the type of person who just about any normal person could look up to, but he still has he flaws because every normal person does. So he's bad with names, but great with language, and an excellent leader, but too humble and shy to blow his own horn even when the situation calls for it.
And that concludes the mile long Author's Note of Doom! Did you make it all the way through or skim it? I know you skimmed!
