Hello, everyone. Lily here with the fourth chapter.
*Mirai raises an eyebrow* That's it. That's all you're going to say?
Is there something else I'm *supposed* to say?
*Mirai sweatdrops* Well, no, but-
Good. Then don't interupt me again. Anyway, on to the disclaimer part. As always the ONLY things I own are my mate, my Mystic clone, my Neil clone, my Gambit clone, my Kou clone, and my new pet, my Demi-Demon Doggie clone, or my Inuyasha clone.
Nothing more. And no, you can't have any of them!
Enjoy the story!

Chapter 4- " Kaede "
by Lily
Several minutes later, as the group continued to walk towards the camp, the twins started to grow restless, and began running around their parents in a circle chasing one another as the others continued walking.
"Be careful, you two." Kagome said as the twins continued their play, before looking over at Rin, who was looking at the twins as she walked along side Sesshoumaru. Kagome smiled at the young girl.
"You may play with them if you'd like, Rin." Kagome said as the startled girl looked up at her, before smiling widely when Kagome nodded. She looked to Sesshoumaru who nodded his head once, before dashing after the twins.
"You've taken a great liking to her, I see. Like a daughter, I dare say." Kagome said as Sesshoumaru was silent for a moment, before nodding.
"Yes. I think of her as much as times." Sesshoumaru said as Sango smiled from behind them.
"At times? Kagome, he's as protective of her as you are of your pups." Sango said, as Sesshoumaru looked over his shoulder at her, his face emotionless as she smiled knowingly at the demon.
"Anyway, we're not too far from Kaede's village. We should forget the camp and stay there, tonight." Inuyasha said as the others all looked at him again.
"Yes, that would be wise. The more people around to keep an eye on the pups. Good idea, Inuyasha." Miroku said as Inuyasha said nothing, but continued walking.
"Mama? Are we almost there? I'm hungry." Kaori asked as he looked up at his mother. She smiled at him, but before she could answer, Inuyasha stopped walking, causing everyone else to stop too and look around.
"Inuyasha, what is it?" Kagome asked worriedly as she looked around. She hadn't heard or smelled anything, but if he had stopped, there had to have been a reason.
Without a word, Inuyasha started to look around at the trees, before finally walking up to one, and looking up into the high branches. A few seconds later, he jumped up into the tree, and disappeared into it. A few more minutes later, he jumped back down, with a couple apples in his arms and walked back to the group. He bent down infront of the twins, and handed them a couple of apples, as they smiled at him and bit into them.
"Thank you, Daddy." Kaiya said, bitting into her apple as Inuyasha smiled, then rose to his feet again, and tossed the last apple to Kagome.
"Here." Inuyasha said, before turning and heading towards the village again.
"Looks like he's adjusting to his 'fatherly' role just fine." Miroku said as Inuyasha glared at him over his shoulder.
"Feh. You heard them. They were hungry." Inuyasha said as Kagome smiled at him, taking a bite out of her apple.
"Leave him alone, Miroku. I think he's doing a fine job." Sango said, playfully hitting Miroku.
"Miroku. I just noticed something." Kagome said as Miroku looked at her.
"What is it, Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked as Kagome smiled at him.
"You haven't tried to grope Sango since I got here. What's up?" Kagome asked as Miroku and Sango blushed.
"She's his mate. He doesn't need to." Inuyasha said from upfront, without looking behind as Sango turned an even darker shade of red.
"Really? Oh, I'm so happy for you, Sango! Tell me! When did this happen? How long have you two been together! I really missed, quiet a lot, haven't I?" Kagome asked, walking beside Sango as Miroku chuckled and picked up his pace until he was a few feet behind Inuyasha, with the girls and Sesshoumaru in the very back.
"I'll tell you later. I want to hear more about your pups." Sango said as Kagome smiled.
"Well, what do you want to know? You've already heard what I told you before." Kagome said.
"Well, what did your family say? And what about your friends?" Sango asked.
"Well, my brother was estatic, you know how much he adores Inuyasha, and after they got over their shock, my Mother and Grandpa were happy too. As for my friends, you all are my friends, but as for the ones in my time, I had sort of lost ties with them, so they didn't know. But, I'll tell you this. I was in labor for 20 hours with them!" Kagome said, with a playful glare at Inuyasha.
"20 hours! Unbeliveable!" Sango said with a giggle.
A few minutes later, they started to make out the cluster of huts that made up Kaede's village, and silently walked through the village, getting several curious looks from the villagers as they took in Kagome and her pup's appearance.
They were used to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru being there, since Inuyasha always traveled with the other two humans and the little fox kitsune, and since Sesshoumaru had joined their party a little more than three years earlier. But the new beautiful female hanyou and the two pups were new.
"They act as if they've never seen a hanyou and her pups before!" Inuyasha said with a growl as Kagome smiled at him.
"Inuyasha, think about it. They probably haven't. The only hanyou they've ever seen, is you." Kagome said.
"And besides, I'm sure they are more curious at her arrival than anything else, Inuyasha." Miroku said as Sango smiled as she looked at the villagers.
"And by the looks on the men's faces, I'd say they've never seen one as beautiful as Kagome." Sango said as Kagome blushed and Inuyasha growled deeply.
"Well, they'd just better keep their distance. She's *my* mate." Inuyasha said as Kagome smiled at his sudden outburst.
"Oh relax, Inuyasha. You're acting like a child." Kagome said.
"Feh!" Inuyasha muttered before heading into Kaede's hut.
"Inuyasha. I'm glad to see that ye have returned. But what's this?" Kaede asked looking at Kagome.
"It's nice to see you again too, Kaede. You haven't changed at all in three years." Kagome said warmly as Kaede's stared at her in confusion.
"Kagome? Child is that you? What has happened to ye?" Kaede asked as she studied Kagome's appearance.
"It's a long story, but I'm a hanyou now. And these are my pups. Kaori, Kaiya, come here little ones." Kagome said, as the two came out from behind their father, to cautiously make their way to their mother.
"My word!" Kaede said as the twins clung to their mother.
"I'm sorry. They tend to be a little shy around strangers. But they warm up very quickly." Kagome said, looking down at the two.
"My word, child. These are *your* pups? I suppose then Inuyasha would be the father?" Kaede asked as Kagome nodded.
"Yes. They're the reason I left. Well, one of the reasons." Kagome said as Kaede nodded as she sat down.
"I see. And your new appearance?" Kaede asked.
"A result of their births." Kagome said as Kaede nodded again.
The twins looked up at their mother, who smiled and let them go, and they raced back over to Inuyasha, sitting in the corner. He raised an eyebrow at them as Kaiya climbed into his lap, Kaori sitting down beside him, and smiled, before looking at Kaede.
"It won't be too long before Naraku finds out about them. I wish to stay here tonight." Inuyasha said as Kaede nodded.
"Yes, of course. Your ally Kouga has already been here earlier today. He said he'd return tomorrow. He believes he may have some valuable information for us, but wanted to be sure. He said he'd know by tomorrow and he'd return by then." Kaede said as Miroku rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"I am most curious to see his reaction when he learns Lady Kagome has returned. He always had such the liking for her and was most angry when he learned she had left. Of course, he blamed it on Inuyasha, saying that he had drove her away." Miroku said with a chuckle as Inuyasha growled at the monk, his ears flattening to his head.
"She is my mate, and they are my pups. Maybe now, that damned wolf will see that." Inuyasha said with a growl as Kagome glared at him.
"Inuyasha! Don't swear infront of the pups!" Kagome said as he looked at her.
"Feh!" Inuyasha muttered, before turning away and looking down at the twins again.
"Well, it grows late. I'll make some stew and they I suggest we all go to bed." Kaede said, getting up and making her way deep into the hut.
