"Just Desserts"

By Night Youkai

Chapter 5

The sun was shining the birds were sing and one moody hanyou refused to get up. Keiko had been trying to wake him up for 30 minutes now. Sesshomaru was already up and cooking breakfast and laughed at her feudal attempts to wake his little brother.

"Wakey, Wakey! Eggs and baccy!" Keiko jumped on his bed in hope to get her cousin up with the living.

"Damit Keiko! Get off of me! Inuyasha pull the pillow over his head.

"Come on you need to get up it's really important Inu-ishy!" whined the inu-night tugging on the hanyou's blankets.

"Keiko don't call me that! I work late and I sleep so get lost!"

"Well Kagome did you Inuyasha sleeps in teddy-bear boxers?" Inuyasha bolted straight up and jumped out of bed.

"Kagome I can explain! I... "Inuyasha looked around the room and realized two things. One he hadn't worn teddy boxer since he was 10 and two Kagome was nowhere in sight. Inuyasha whirled on his cousin's innocent looking face.

'Man if looks could kill I'd be dead times over.'

"Keiko I send Aunt Sukora my sympathies for her resent lost."

"Huh? Inu what are you talking about no one has died?

"Yet! Aunt Sukora is a bout to lose a daughter!" Keiko's eye grew wide as she realized he charging straight for her. Out of reflex she jumped high to avoid the raging hanyou. Good thing this apartment had high ceilings.

"Come on inu! Can't you take a joke?"

"That wasn't funny Keiko! The hanyou jumped after his airborne cousin only to have her fly from one side to the other to avoid this killer claws.

"Calm down Inuyasha you should be thanking me for waking you up early or Kagome really would have found you asleep in your kiss mark boxers!" Inuyasha came to a dead stop from chasing the flying youkai.

"Keiko. Explain. NOW!"

"If I come down you promise not to kill me?"

"Get down now Keiko Inushiku!" In a blink of an eye the inu-night landed.

"Don't do that you sound just like dad when you shout like that." Inuyasha gave her a glare that would rival that of Inuyouki. This had Keiko crumbling under the pressure. "OK! I confess! I asked her to come over saying that you willingly offer her the use of your kitchen."

"Why on earth would you do something like that?"

"Well you see Kagome is helping with the party food. For tomorrow, and well she needed a place to cook."

"I don't believe you. I know for a fact Kagome doesn't caterers."

"Well she does now." ' After mom gave her famous Sukora Nisho- Inushiku guilt trip.'

"Fine then, but what is she doing coming here?"

"Well you see mom kitchen isn't big enough for Kagome to use. Kora and my apartment is way too small for even us to use and Yash would offer but he lives in the dorms at the university..."

"Spit it out Keiko!"

"We told her you said you would be glad to give her your kitchen for making the party food after all you are making our birthday cake."

"I am?" this day just keeps getting worst and he just woke up.

"Yes you are mom said you would make you killer triple chocolate and strawberry cake. Oh and don't worry you won't kill each other, Rin is coming over to work on decorations." just then the heard a loud crash in the kitchen, and the two cousins sweat-dropped.

"Hey Fluffy you ok?" there was no response so Inuyasha continued to reel on the green-eye youkai. "Keiko you know Kouga has just as big of place as we do, why can't you use his place?"

"Can't baby bro is helping Mars and Butterfinger pup-sit while Ayame does the household chores and errands." Keiko smiled at he now defeated cousin when a disheveled Inuyoukai came stumbling in to the room.

"Keiko dear cousin please explain why Rin is coming here again?"

"Well Fluffy for two reasons. First of all to supervise Kagome and Inuyasha so they cook and not kill each other and second she said she'd help with the decorations." Sesshomaru instantly went pale.

"Kay I can watch Kagome and the mutt. You can make decorations with Rin at your place." Sesshomaru was hard pressed to keep the panic from shaking his voice.

"Sorry cuz no can do. As for you watching the dueling spatulas Inu will be a pile of ash. After last weeks fight over your wardrobe and his lack of one I bet you'd hold him down while Kagome turns him into dog-food. So Rin will have to puppy-sit you all." Keiko wanted to jump for joy as she walked out of the room to the front door. 'Phase one of mission stubborn- hearts complete. Now it's up to Akora for phase two.'

"Oh and boys? This place is a mess you really should clean up." As soon as she close the front door she could hear her two cousins rushing around trying to clean their apartment. ' Yup everything is going according to plan.'

"Thanks Kouga this really means a lot to us. Me and Mars are out number 3-2." Kouga smiled as he let in the sandy haired wolves in. It wasn't the first time helped Ayame's brothers with the pup sitting. It was one of the few things he was able to do to help with out Ayame claiming she didn't need any help. He even got a huge apartment at his mom's suggestion. That way the pups could stay over just to give her the night off from responsibility. It's help that the pups loved to hang out at his place it gave Ayame less chance to refuse. The apartment was also close to Ayame place that way he could watch her walk home and make sure she got home safe.

"No problem Butterfinger I know these three can be a real handful sometimes." It seem in Ayame's family each litter of wolf pups came in packs of three with Ayame Butterfinger and Snickers as the oldest. Then there was Mars, Reeses and Twix they were all sixteen and had part time jobs as pizza delivery-boys to help out with the house bills. Butterfinger was a waiter at the bone eater and snicker work as a teacher assistant so he could keep up his college schooling. Yup their father had a really sense of humor, Ayame was lucky all female pups are name by the mother.

"Hi Kouga! . . ." Hewy came flying in landing on the older wolf's shoulders.

"We really . . ." Dewey came flying thought the door latching himself to Kouga's stomach.

"Missed you!" The pups moved so fast Kouga didn't even see when Lewy wrapped around his leg. The pups were all identical and all talk as one person is was a miracle if you could tell them apart. It drove their teachers insane because one refused to be with out the others that they would freak out if they were separated.

"Hey Kouga when are you going to break down and marry our sister?"

"Mars shut up! Kouga is helping us out there's no need to threaten him."

"Hey it's fine." The dark haired youkai said off handedly and her pry the pups off himself one by one. "So where is Ayame anyways?"

"Oh you know the usual . . . Uh . . . Kouga can you handle the pups for an hour? I have to be at work at 230 and mars have to be at the pizza parlor at 3. Ayame will pick the little monsters up at 4."

"We are . . ."

"Not monsters . . ."

"We're angels!"

"If your angels than I'm the pope." Mars as he ruffled one of the pups hair.

"Sure I can handle them no problem. Come on angels I have some of my moms super famous cookies in the kitchen."

"Cookies!"

"YAY!"

"Me First!" and they all disappeared into the kitchen.

Inuyasha was now glad Keiko came early to wake him up. It had taken two hours for them to clean the penthouse and another two hours to get ready.

*~*~*~*~ Flash back~*~*~*~*~

Shit! Where are all the clean clothes?" Scream and frustrated hanyou as he tore thought his room still in his boxers. He was looking anywhere and everywhere for any thing that might be remotely clean to wear.

"Well if you did laundry more then once a month the you would have something clean to wear. Came a voice from the other side of the penthouse.

Sesshomaru never was the type to panic or stress about what to wear. His ego allowed just enough conceit to know that he looked good no matter what her wore. Yet to day, the day Rin was to come over, his ego left taking conceit and self-esteem with him. This was too flashy that was too subtle. His huge walk-in closet looked like a war zone and the casualties were litter all over the place.

"This is impossible! I can't find anything to wear in these rags!"

"Shut up Drama Queen! At least your rags are clean!"

~*~*~*~*~* End flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Knock, Knock, knock!"

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming!" Inuyasha strolled to the front door, not wanting to show that he was eager for their arrival. He opened the door an unwanted face.

"Hey puppy! Glad you finially cleaned up this dump."

"Kora what the hell are you doing here?" the inu-night swept past her moody cousin to the living room followed by Rin and Kagome all of them were carrying groceries.

"Well cuz nice to see you too you brat. I gave these two a ride and I'm working on the decorations so there." Then Akora stuck her tongue out at Inuyasha. She knew it was childish and petty but she did it anyways.

"Hello Inuyasha thanks for letting us use your place to get the stuff ready for the party." Rin giggled her happy greeting as she elbowed Kagome to be nice.

"Yeah thanks, where is the kitchen?"

"Down the hall to the left. Just don't burn the place down Wench!"

'Man this is going to going to be a long day.' Akora gave a mental sigh as she and Rin followed the battling Iron chefs.
