Princess Sango
Kagome had gotten up earlier that day, since she had to find a new job, even though Inuyasha told her it wasn't necessary. Though Kagome couldn't help but want a job so she wouldn't feel fifty already. She was only twenty and that was still young, even though she had two kids. So she reluctantly got up, showered, dried herself off, and got dressed. She nudged Inuyasha softly with her cheek against his. "Rise and shine Inuyasha. We have a busy day today, and today's Monday. How we all love Mondays right?"
It was a little too enthusiastic for him, for he groaned and closed his eyes shut tighter. "No problems when you sleep..."
Kagome looked confused for a second before trying again, "Inuyasha, come on! Get up, or I'll call the kids with ice buckets, cold water, and Souta can join in too, heck I'll join too!" Inuyasha still wouldn't get up and Kagome snuck out of the room and called the kids.
Soon after all the ice buckets were full of a little water and a lot of ice, they snuck back into the room that Inuyasha was still sleeping in. Souta decided just to watch, while Kagome was on the right side of the bed, Inuya on the left side, and I.J at the end. "Now on the count of three," whispered Kagome. "1...2..." They held their ice buckets up, targeting for Inuyasha's head. "3!" They poured the ice cold water on his head and he woke up with a start.
"What the..." He found the "weapons" on the floor, and then he went through a quick analysis.
Fact: He's wet and cold. Hypothesis: Kagome threatened something this morning about kids, Souta, herself, ice, cold, and water. Experiment: Himself, Inuyasha K9. Hanyou, father of two twin kids, sort of husband to Kagome. Conclusion: Three buckets equals three people, and they are going to pay!
So Inuyasha looked again around the room to find the three said people, trying to act innocent and also trying not to laugh. "I wonder how these buckets got here, wonder if the water and ice came from somewhere? I see three buckets, four people, and three are trying not to laugh." Inuyasha wanted to play this out for as long as he could, see how far he could act naïve without anyone suspecting him.
"We didn't do it daddy, why would mama, me, and I.J-kun do such a thing? We saw ghosts drop the bucket, and carry them over here. Honest, daddy have I ever lied to you?" Inuya sounded so convincing when her whole entire scent smelled of 'Wetting Daddyin Bed' guiltiness. Oh yes, one down, oh wait, three down. She named every one of them, now for payback time!
"Oh really, come here Inuya, I.J-kun, Kagome..." His eyes never betrayed him before, so right now it showed nothing but kindness. Inuya and I.J leaped onto the bed not minding getting there p.js wet. Kagome on the other hand walked slowly up to him before finally jumping on the bed, getting herself wet all over again.
Inuyasha then lured I.J and Inuya into his left arm, and Kagome in his right. He started tickling them until they were all laughing really hard. "Now whose got you? Hmmm? I've got you, no one can save you now!" Then Inuya started calling out for her uncle Souta, and that's when Souta jumped in.
"I will come help!" Souta roared jumping on the bed, trying to get ahold of someone. Though, every time Souta thought he had someone's leg or arm, Inuyasha would snatch it away. "I need more soldiers!" Souta kept trying, until there was a knock on the door.
"Stupid door, ruins revengeful fun," muttered Inuyasha incoherently.
"I'll go get it," said Kagome. She jumped off the bed and ran to the door.
"Konichiwa..." Her voice faltered and Souta jumped up and ran to see what was wrong.
"Sis...? Go back to Inuyasha now and get him!" Inuyasha stared at the door as he heard ruffling and Kagome walking back in the room. He was happy to see her unharmed but heard Souta's groan after a few minutes.
"Inuyasha... go help Souta. Two bad people are at the door and want our stuff. Go help him please!"
"Robbers?"
She nodded as Souta's groan came again. "Go help him, I'll stay here."
He nodded and ran out the door fast to go to Souta, and to defend his house. Kagome hugged her children close, "Mommy, what's happening?" They kept asking her, but she refused to answer. Soon though, she could hear Inuyasha scoff with a 'feh' and everything was over.
"Stay here Inuya, I.J." She kissed them each before heading back towards the front door. What she saw was Inuyasha looking over Souta, while the thugs lay there unconcious. "Is he okay?" She seemed nervous for the answer.
"He seems alright, but we better take him to the hospital, and them to the police." Then Kagome looked over Souta, his eyes were closed, blood was smeared in various places, and he looked so frail from just moments ago.
"Okay, I'll take him to the hospital, you take them, and I'll call Sango to look after the kids."
Kagome ran towards the phone and hit speed dialeight for her friends apartment, which was five minutes away. "Hi Sango, can you babysit today? Okay, Inuyasha'll be waiting. Okay bye."
She hung up and Inuyasha handed her Souta carefully. "Don't drive, run. The hospital is ten minutes by running."
She nodded before throwing on slippers and running all the way to a hospital. Inuyasha was right, it had taken her ten minutes. When she came in, people stared at her. "Help!"
A doctor stopped by her and looked over Souta, "Please place him on this bed over there. We will begin treatment right away." Kagome hurried and placed him on the bed as instructed.
Then doctors pushed her away, and all she could do is sit down and wait for results. She hoped Inuyasha would come and join her soon because it hurt so badly to be alone in a crisis. She felt like calling her mom, but she didn't want to fight right now. She needed reassurance, and only Inuyasha could give her that right now.
She felt a calm hand on her shoulder, and she turned around to find Inuyasha. "Any word yet?" She shook her head as Inuyasha sat down and pulled her close.
"Sango's sending them to school and will pick them up. I filled her in, and those thugs were from a jailbreak. Figures."
Kagome pulled him closer to her, "We need to tell my parents Inuyasha. Though I don't know if I can face them."
"We'll have to now, Kagome, now we'll have to."
A nurse stopped by to find them, and asked information. Such as parents, name, age, phone numbers, address, and medical info. Inuyasha answered for Kagome, since she was beyond talking right now. The worst part was that they had to call Kagome's parents to inform them about the mishap. Also Souta needed a x-rays of his right leg and left arm.
"Go ahead with it. He needs serious medical treatment," Inuyasha answered commandingly. The nurse nodded going to call, inform, and file everything. Not too soon later Kagome's parents showed up.
"Where's Souta?" asked Kagome's mom worried.
"He's getting x-rays right now mom." She only then noticed, and seemed to change back into the 'I'll never forgive you mom.'
"And what are you doing here?"
"I was with Souta when it happened okay? My whole entire house was trying to be robbed okay, and Souta was there. Though right now, I'm here for Souta. He wouldn't have come to my house if you didn't put him through hell over Inuyasha and I. He had nothing to do with me, and you wouldn't let the house be at rest," Kagome spat right back, daring for another challenge.
Kagome's mom seemed shocked by her retort. Then she broke down crying, but she said nothing. Although Grandpa piped up, "Kagome, you should be grateful, your mother and I could have thrown you out when we first found out. We stuck by you though. Now you run to him? The one who got you pregnant in the first place?"
"Grandpa! I love him, why do you hate him so? He's stuck by me too, he's raised his children also!" Kagome pulled closer to Inuyasha.
"It doesn't matter Kagome, he still didn't stay by you during the 9 weeks did he?" Grandpa seemed to be coming a train coming down fast or at least the heard of wildebeast from a wild stampede.
"It doesn't matter Grandpa. Do you remember when I told you? You've always been the one for legends. You should know this Grandpa, Mom, if Inuyasha and I didn't love each other purely enough, we wouldn't have kids. It would have been a wasted night."
They stared at her shocked, as if their Kagome could never have said those words. Then the shock faded and they turned around to talk to the nurse. Kagome held onto Inuyasha, "Gomen Inuyasha."
He held her tightly back, "No problem."
Then the nurse came up to them, "Excuse me, but Souta keeps calling out for Kagome. Are you her by chance?"
Kagome nodded and the nurse led her over to a room. He had been resting for what seemed a while, judging by his look of contentment. "C-can you tell me what you found?"
The nurse turned melonchaly eyes on Kagome, "His lower spine is bruised, he'll never walk again, gomen nasai." Kagome's eyes pricked with tears and entered the room before the nurse could tell her more.
"Kagome is that you?"
His voice seemed so weak, so fragile. "Yes it's me Souta, Kagome."
He nodded slowly, "I can't feel below my waist, I guess I'll never walk again huh?"
Kagome shook her head, "No you won't be able to. Though I swear Souta, you'll live through this. You must, everyone needs you Souta. Especially my family."
"My arm is broken too, so I only have the use of my left arm."
"Stay Souta, don't forget us."
"I can't Kagome, you know that. Although I want you to become what you wanted to be. Since you were five you set that goal, become it Kagome. Become the singer that you wanted to be, don't let Mom or Grandpa bring you down."
Kagome seemed shocked, "How did you?"
"How did I know? You would sing forever to me when I was little. I'll never forget that song, sing it to me Kagome-chan, sing it onegai."
Kagome smiled, "Just for you Souta." So she sang the sweet melody she sang long ago.
Souta gave her a smile, "I haven't heard you sing like that since you turned ten. Thanks Kagome, you've got a beautiful voice. Don't only share it with me, share it with the world. Show everyone teen's or even mothers can live a life. You've got my support behind you."
Kagome seemed surprised, "Hai..." She came closer and gave his good hand a light squeeze. "You're so supportive Souta-kun."
"You still have that blank tape?"
She nodded, "Yes, I always keep things like that. Things that can still be used."
Souta smiled, "Tape it and mail it to a major record company, Jive or Colubia would be best. Go out and fufill the dream, your kids will be able to look up to you. They'll say, 'That's our mommy!' You'll be able to find peace, sing, Kagome, sing."
Kagome nodded, "I'll start, I swear to you Souta. Though mom and Grandpa have to see you. They'll feel sorry for you, but you are still Souta to us." Souta nodded as Kagome gave him one tight squeeze on his good hand before leaving.
Kagome was shocked at the scene that was taking on before her when she left Souta. Her grandpa and mom were talking to Inuyasha, she had to blink twice to make sure it wasn't a dream. Then she came closer to them, Inuyasha smiled, nodded to them and grabbed Kagome's hand. "Let's go Kagome, I have to talk to you about some things..."
She looked up at him and he smiled, "Don't worry I'm not going to abandon you."
"Inuyasha was I just dreaming?"
Inuyasha laughed, "No Kagome, you weren't dreaming. What your parents were talking to me about was when we were getting married. They want to be there too, they finally said sorry to me. Although they want to talk to you tonight. I'm coming with you."
Kagome nodded and started to prepare for tonight. !
Kagome fidegeted as Inuyasha drove to the shrine. Inuyasha had been eyeing her lately, back and forth. She kept fidegeting, it seemed like she had burned 20 million calories in the just ten minutes! Inuyasha soon went up the long drive way and parked the car.
"Are you ready?" She noddded indecisively. "Okay, let's go Kagome." So together they walked up to the house. Hoping for the best, and expecting the worst.
