The next morning, when Inu-Yasha had got back to the hut from doing
whatever it was that he was doing, his mate who was having another one of
her mood swings greeted him. She put her face in to his chest, grabbed his
red fire rats' cloak, and then sunk to her knees. Inu-Yasha sweatdropping
kneeled down next to her and hugged her, stroking her hair a little to
comfort her. Afraid for his sensitive ears, for one of her emotional
outbursts with the yelling, he didn't say anything to her as she cried.
"Maybe I should go to Kagome's country with her." He thought out-loud
accidentally. Sango, with tears still in her eyes suddenly looked at him,
and gave him a death glare. "Something wrong onna?" He asked not realizing
that he had said it out-loud. "So you rather be with your sister-in-law
instead of YOUR mate who is going to be having YOUR pup?" She asked,
letting go of him.
"Oi! Onna! I never said that." Inu-Yasha wondered what was wrong with Sango this morning. "Yes you did, you said maybe I should go to Kagome's country when she goes." Sango glared at him. "So I guess like you really don't love me any more since you'd rather be with her." "Shit.. she heard that?" Inu-Yasha thought. "Yes I heard that. you said that out-loud with out hesitating." When Sango was trying to get up, she was having a little bit of trouble so Inu-Yasha tried to help her. "I don't need your help, if I wanted it, I would have asked." She snapped in a really bad mood now. Inu- Yasha winced at the loud-ness in her voice. "Onna." He reached his hand out to touch her back, for it was now turned to him, but she quickly moved away before he could reach. "Don't onna me." She snapped.
"Sango you know that I love you." Inu-Yasha was starting to get annoyed. "Really, how do I."? Before she could finish, he had walked in front of her, grabbed her gently by the shoulders, and kissed her. They stood there kissing for a while, and then Inu-Yasha finally broke the kiss and looked at her with his gold eyes. "So, do you still doubt me?" Sango blushed a bit, just red enough to see if you where looking there. "Perhaps." Sango teased him, and rapped her arms around him, trying to hug him, but couldn't because of her stomach, so he hugged her instead. Of course his hands where on her stomach, feeling their pup kick since he did that every chance he got. After a few minutes of silence Sango suddenly spoke up. "Umm.. Inu?" Sango started to ask. "Hai?" He looked at her. "What's for breakfast?" She laughed nervously since she hasn't eaten any thing since last night.
"I forgot sorry." He admitted totally forgetting. "So does this mean that I get to go with you when you go hunt?" Sango asked with a hopeful look in her brown eyes. "No, you still stay in the hut until our pup is born." Inu quickly said before she could say anything. "Well I don't stay in the hut all the time.you know I have to go outside when." She didn't even finish the sentence for he knew what she was going to say. "That's different." This was becoming an aquward conversation. "Bu." Sango started to whine. "NO! And that's that." Sango then put her hands in front of her face so that he wouldn't be able to see her cry. "Oi Onna!" He said not being able to stand seeing a woman cry, especially his onna. "I just wana." She sobbed. "Alright.. You can go." He finally gave in.
"Really?" Sango looked with her eyes a little bit red from the crying. "Really, but you have to wait until I come back from hunting, and you've eaten." He gave in not really wanting to, but it was better then seeing her cry cause it really did hurt his ears. She gave him a kiss since she really couldn't hug him before he left and he walked out still not too happy about letting her go out, but it got her to stop. He came back a while later, and cooked what he caught and the two ate. After cleaning up a bit, Inu helped Sango to her feet once more and she put on the "jacket" that Kagome had got her when she was in her country. She laughed at the small kawaii koneko youkai named Kiara who jumped in to every footstep that was around and she would fall in to it and jump out and ate the snow. Kiara would then jump out of the whole and eat whatever snow, fell out of a tree.
At Kagome and Sesshoumaru's hut, Kagome was getting packed to go home, since she had to re-arrange a few things in her bag. She was excited, and couldn't wait to see her mama, grandfather, or Souta again. Its' been a good six months, but she was homesick, and wanted to go. She did go home that one time, but she didn't see any body because they where all asleep, and she didn't want to bother them. She wasn't even going to take the game board home with her, for Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru pretty much destroyed it, and she smiled a bit remembering this. Even though Fluffy-sama wasn't coming with her, she could wait because she would be spending most of the rest of her life with him, except those few times to when she would go home, back to the modern age. She would be able to sleep in a warm bed, take a hot shower, and not have to worry about youkai attacks for a whole month. Even though vacation was only about 2 weeks in America for their Christmas break, she would stay longer because no one there would know that unless if they actually went to America.
Sesshoumaru sat there quietly watching his mate pack her "back pack." He wasn't the least bit happy about her going home, to that strange country with things called "cars" and "television," but he had no choice in the mater. That was what he had agreed to when her mother had agreed to let him mate her and stay here with him. She did have the right to see her family every once in a while; at least she had family to go back to. The only family besides his mate was his stupid half brother, which wasn't even his family. "Hey look on the bright side." Sesshoumaru thought, but making sure she wasn't listening first. "At least I can bug the hanyou while she's away." A small smile appeared on his lips as he started to think of evil plots of which he could do while his mate was away. "Yes, he would wait until his mate was away to get the Tetsusaiga," which was rightfully his. He really hasn't bothered to get it from the hanyou ever since him and Kagome became mates. But perhaps it was time he started to again, with the hanyou's mate being with his pup, he had already his claws full, but that would be the more fun of it. He would give the hanyou a nice treat.
Kagome finished packing a while later, and closed her yellow back pack, which surprisingly still had maybe a little bit of room in it. Very little room though. She sighed, stood up and stretched. "Ah! That was so boring!" Kagome said out-loud to herself. She then turned around to Sesshoumaru who seemed kind of spaced and walked to him. "Fluffy-Kun?" She blinked a bit since he normally answered her whenever she called him. "Fluffy, hello? Anyone home?" She waved her right hand in front of Sesshoumaru's face. "Wow! He really is spaced out." She stood there and pondered for a moment and then suddenly said. "Fluffy-Kun!!!!! LOOK! POCKY!" Sesshoumaru quickly snapped out of the trance. "Pocky? Where?" Kagome had gotten him addicted to Pocky. Kagome laughed at him. "Fluffy- kun, something wrong?" She looked at him wondering what on earth he was thinking about. "Nothing, sorry, I was just thinking about something." He was actually telling the truth. "Really what?" Kagome wondered. "The great Sesshoumaru-Sama of the Western Lands never gets spaces out." She mocked him. "Keh." He said with out realizing it. "Now your beginning to sound like Inu-Yasha." Kagome shook her head.
"Never say that again." He glared at her. "Fluffy-Sama's acting like .." She actually stopped because he was starting to twitch a little. "Umm.. I'm leaving at the beginning of sun down." Kagome tried to change the subject. "Fine." Was all that he could say still wondering why his mate said that he, the great Sesshoumaru-sama of the western lands, was acting like his mutt of a brother. "You do realize that when we have pup's they'll be hanyou's you know." Kagome sweatdropped and told this to him mentally. "Yes, well they wont act like HIM." Sesshoumaru's mood was going pretty fast. "Geeze Fluffy-Kun, you're in an awfully bad mood today." Sesshoumaru said nothing. "HEY! I'm going to go visit Sango before I leave, you can come to if you want to." Kagome grabbed her jacket, gloves, and scarf and put them on before she walked out the door. Sesshoumaru got up not really wanting to go, but did anyway and followed his mate out the door. "I'll race you." Kagome giggled. "What's the point?" Sesshoumaru asked knowing that he could beat her in a second anyway. "BECAUSE!" She said and poked his nose. "Its fun."
"Fun?" He asked, because the only thing he thought was fun was beating the living shit out of his half brother or any one else who got in his way. "Hai fun." Kagome really did wonder what was his problem since he normally didn't act like this. "Fine." He really wasn't in the mood to argue, and was only going over there because he wouldn't see his mate for a while and wanted to be with her before she left. "Ready! Set! Go!" Kagome yelled and began to run. "I forgot how slow humans ran." Sesshoumaru thought as he watched his mate run. He then easily caught up to her, picked her up and pretty much ran with her to Sango's hut. When they got there, he put her down on her feet. "It was suppose to be a race!" Kagome complained. "And?" Sesshoumaru really did hate having to wait. "NEVER MIND!" Kagome yelled at him a bit annoyed at his attitude today. "Maybe its because I'm leaving." She thought to herself since he normally wasn't this bad.
"I thought I heard your voice, Kagome-Chan." Sango walked to the side of the hut to where they where. "Hey Sango-Chan, Inu-Yasha not here?" Kagome blinked surprise to see that her friend, sister-in-law, was out since the hanyou wanted her inside of the hut and wouldn't let her leave. "He's here.he's sitting in the tree watching." She pointed to a near by tree, where you could see plainly the hanyou keeping his eyes on Sango. "You're aloud out now?" Kagome asked surprised. "Hai, though he wont let me go very far." Sango giggled. "At least your out." Kagome admitted. "So you finally let your mate out of prison?" Sesshoumaru asked the hanyou, who was still in the tree. "You should be one to talk, at least I have a reason why." Inu-Yasha glared at Sesshoumaru and then added "You should really be one to talk." "Oh boy." Sango and Kagome said at the same time an sighed. "This could get ugly." Kagome stated the obvious and Sango nodded. "I have the right to be with my mate, do I not?" Was the answer that Sesshoumaru had given the hanyou.
"Just like you know why mine is after all you're a youkai and you would know why I don't let Sango out." Inu-Yasha was surprisingly calm still. Kagome and Sango sweatdropped. "Inu-Yasha.." Sango thought to him. "Behave." She finished. "Feh." Was all that Inu said to her. "Don't FEH me hanyou." She glared at him from where she was standing on the ground and he stopped. Kiara jumped in to Kagome's arms. "Kiara-chan. you're wet." Kagome said. "Hai! She was jumping in every single whole in the ground." Sango shook her head. And Kiara tilted her head to the side and mewed and Sango laughed. "Ouch, that hurts." She stopped laughing, Kiara jumped to Sango's shoulder. "Hey! Fluffy-Sama!" Kagome said suddenly trying to get the fight to stop. "What?" He looked from the hanyou to her. "I'm hungry." Kagome replied. "Hai hai! Me to!" Sango said catching on to what Kagome was doing.
"Will you go hunt Fluffy-kun, and you two Inu-Yasha." Kagome asked trying to get their minds off of their current argument. "Fine." Inu-Yasha said jumping down landing on his feet. "Then again you're always hungry these days Sango." He joked around. "Hey! I'm eating for two now." She pouted. "I'm just kidding." He said to her mentally "Be back in a while, you and Kagome stay inside alright?" He was actually being nice for once.. It was scary. Sango pouted even more. "Fine!" "Well Fluffy-Kun?" Kagome asked her mate for she still hasn't gotten an answer from him yet. "Fluffy- kun!" She complained. "Fine." He muttered. "Yeay!" Kagome gave him a hug and then quickly let go and he left as well as the hanyou. "I just hope they don't beat the living crap out of each other while their gone." Sango sighed as she walked in and Kagome and Kiara followed after.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to go get some water." And Kagome left Sango with Kiara in the hut, though she came back not too long later. "I guess like we should get a fire started. we still have some wood left from earlier." Sango suggested and Kagome nodded and the two went outside. "Maybe we should have waited for them to get back first?" Sango laughed at their stupidity. "Yeah, we should have." Kagome agreed and just at that moment, a familiar figure came ridding up on a black horse. It was Kaeade, she tied the horse's rope to a tree, and then walked over to Kagome and Sango who where about to walk back inside since they had already dumped the water out and it became ice on the snow. "Kaeade-San." Kagome greeted the old miko. "Hello Kagome-Chan, Sango-Chan." She then didn't speak for a while. "Would you like to come inside?" Sango asked and Kaeade agreed and the three went back in, four with the small Kiara-chan. "Something wrong Kaeade-San?" Kagome asked since Kaeade never usually left to come see them unless if it was something urgent.
"Hai." Kaeade said thinking of how she could say what she had wanted to say with out making it sound to bad. "What is it?" She was getting really curious to what the old miko wanted. "A villager who was coming back from a business trip had found a boy wondering around the outskirts of our village." Kaeade started. "He looked like he was in a poor condition." She paused looking at Sango. "He claims to be from the Taijiya village." Kaeade looked in to Sango's brown eyes. "But.that couldn't be!" Sango quickly said her heart racing wondering if it could be true. "We tried telling him that he couldn't have been, and since all of the Taijiya where destroyed by youkai who found there home about one year, as Kagome would say ago, but he still claims he is." Kaeade looked at the young Taijiya who seemed to be going in to a bit of shock. "His cloths look like yours Sango, the ones when your." Kaeade was interrupted. "IT COULDN'T BE!" Sango cried out.
"Sango-Chan, calm down shush, its not good for your heath." Kagome hugged Sango who was pretty close in to going in to hysterics. "There's only one person that could be alive." Sango muttered as in a trance. "He claims that his name is Kohaku, but that's all the information that we could have got out of him before he passed out." Kaeade looked at Sango. "Bring me to him." Sango started to get up slowly. "No, you need to stay here." Kaeade looked at Sango and then to Kagome for help. "Kagome-Chan, you've seen Sango's brother before right?" The old miko asked. "Hai!" Kagome answered. "Though how would I know if its him or not?" Kagome really wondered since she's only met him a few times and every time he was underneath Naraku's spell. There was an aquward silence in the room. "Take Kiara." Sango suddenly spoke up. "Wha?" Kagome wondered what her friend had in mind. "Take Kiara, she would know." Sango said nearly in tears.
"But what if its not him?" Kaeade asked. "I was hoping that Kagome would be at her hut so that you wouldn't find out, but.." Kaeade looked at the two girls. "It seems as if I was wrong." Kaeade said sadly. "Kiara will go with you." Sango repeated and the youkai looked up at her master at the sound of her name. "Mew?" Kiara said as if she was asking a question. "Kiara-chan, you'll go with Kagome-Chan right?" Sango asked the youkai who quickly jumped in to Kagome's arms. "There, its settled." Sango smiled a bit feeling a little better. "Alright, but then who will look after you?" Kagome asked. "I don't need looking over." Sango snapped. "Won't Inu.?" Kagome began to ask. "Just go, I'll deal with him." Sango muttered. "Alright." Kagome asked as she left outside with Kaeade. Kagome got on to Kaeade's horse with Kaeade driving in the front so that they would get there faster, and Kiara ran with next to them.
"Oi! Onna! I never said that." Inu-Yasha wondered what was wrong with Sango this morning. "Yes you did, you said maybe I should go to Kagome's country when she goes." Sango glared at him. "So I guess like you really don't love me any more since you'd rather be with her." "Shit.. she heard that?" Inu-Yasha thought. "Yes I heard that. you said that out-loud with out hesitating." When Sango was trying to get up, she was having a little bit of trouble so Inu-Yasha tried to help her. "I don't need your help, if I wanted it, I would have asked."

Kagome answered. "Though how would I know if its him or not?" Kagome really wondered since she's only met him a few times and every time he was underneath Naraku's spell. There was an aquward silence in the room. "Take Kiara." Sango suddenly spoke up. "Wha?" Kagome wondered what her friend had in mind. "Take Kiara, she would know." Sango said nearly in tears.
"But what if its not him?" Kaeade asked. "I was hoping that Kagome would be at her hut so that you wouldn't find out, but.." Kaeade looked at the two girls. "It seems as if I was wrong." Kaeade said sadly. "Kiara will go with you." Sango repeated and the youkai looked up at her master at the sound of her name. "Mew?" Kiara said as if she was asking a question. "Kiara-chan, you'll go with Kagome-Chan right?" Sango asked the youkai who quickly jumped in to Kagome's arms. "There, its settled." Sango smiled a bit feeling a little better. "Alright, but then who will look after you?" Kagome asked. "I don't need looking over." Sango snapped. "Won't Inu.?" Kagome began to ask. "Just go, I'll deal with him." Sango muttered. "Alright." Kagome asked as she left outside with Kaeade. Kagome got on to Kaeade's horse with Kaeade driving in the front so that they would get there faster, and Kiara ran with next to them.
