Disclaimer: I no own inuyasha

"…Blazing in the Night Sky."-Chapter Three: Intruders.

Had he been away on so many business trips that he hadn't realized what was going on, Inuyasha wondered, as he sat in the living room beside Kagome who slept on his shoulder. The television above the mantle flashed and turned off as he pushed the power button on the remote; it wasn't like he'd been watching it anyway. No, he was thinking about what had happened earlier this morning when his son and his wife had looked so strangely at each other. With those thoughts rose a feeling deep within him and though he wouldn't admit it to anyone else, he knew he was jealous. Looking down to his side, he wrinkled his brow. 'Jealous of my own son?'
Then, something struck the back of his mind and a memory flood back to him from sometime before anyone had waken up. When he'd come home last night, he'd slipped through the door unnoticed to find his children already in bed and Kagome asleep on the couch. So, not bothering to do anything but turn off the lights and make sure the smoldering embers in the fire place wouldn't come back to life anytime soon, he slipped onto the couch beside his wife.
Just as he was drifting into sleep, he had heard a faint whimper come from her though, and opening his eyes, he'd looked on her face to see she was still sleeping. Wrinkling his brow, he'd watched as she'd waken with a sob before stiffening then relaxing against him. He'd known she wouldn't see his eyes, for he was shadowing her, and had just laid there until she'd turned and come closer.
'It must've been a nightmare,' He thought now, looking down at his sleeping wife. 'I wonder if that had anything to do with it at all…' With a sigh, he stood, causing her to wake up. "Kagome," He said softly, kneeling in front of her and taking both her hands in his. As she blinked away her sleepiness, he watched her slowly smile before a playful glint came into her eyes.
Laughing, he smirked at her in return and stood once more, pulling her up and into an embrace as he did. Nestling his face into her hair, he inhaled her scent sharply and sighed also, in content, before he felt something nibble at his neck, causing all thought of earlier events to vanish.
Growling faintly, he pressed himself against her and bit down on the spot he'd marked her with so long ago it seemed. 'Either way, time to make that jealousy disappear' Grinning, he felt her go limp in his arms with a moan. "Inuyasha," he heard her breathe in his ear and picked her up, seeing the lusty look in her eyes. Going up stairs, he closed the door, and locked it, behind him, thinking before he set her down on their big bed, "Can't afford the little interruptions of life, now can I?'

A little after one in the morning, Inuyasha felt something nudge his shoulder gruffly. "Ow, he whined, trying to ignore whatever it was that had disturbed him by turning his back towards it. A sharp pain rose in his side then as that something dig into his ribs. "Inuyasha," Kagome's voice hissed in his ear, "Wake up, I think there's someone in the house!"
Growling in annoyance, he sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Swiveling his ears about, he listened closely for any signs of intruders just for the sake of being awake. "Kagome, I don't hear anything," He murmured after a few moments as he made to lie down again. "Just go back to sleep, it was probably the trees or something," He then said, closing his eyes as he heard Kagome's disapproving "Humph, people always say that and then it really does turn out to be something."
At that, Inuyasha chuckled faintly, and then…"Mommy," Anata's voiced rang out, filled with fear. Hearing this, Inuyasha snapped up and out of bed, following Kagome who had already taken action. "I told you," She cried over her shoulder as she ripped the bedroom door open and scampered down the stairs. Growling, Inuyasha said nothing, readying his claws for a fight.
'Dammit, what if it's Naraku,' His mind screamed at him the possibilities and he stowed the notion into one of the dark corners of his mind, refusing to believe it. 'It doesn't matter if it is, I'll kill that bastard if he lays one inch of his slimy disgusting self on my pups!'
When they got to the foot of the stairs, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's wrist to stop her and forced her behind him to shield his wife from whatever might be in their children's bedroom. Then, her burst through the door way, hand raised to slaughter anyone who dared threaten his family. But as he gazed around the room, looking for trouble, the only thing he saw was Anata tucked into the corner of her bed staring with wild eyes toward one of the now broken, east windows, and Hidama who stood in the middle of the room with a strange look on his face.
Sighing in relief, Inuyasha ran to the window to look outside as Kagome rushed passed him to gather their now sobbing daughter in her arms. "Mommy, I was so scared," She wailed, clinging to her night gown. "I know, I know, it's ok now," Inuyasha heard her say as he turned back, seeing her stroke the small child's hair. Turning from the two, he set his gaze upon their son who still stood staring at the broken window.
"Hidama," He said gently, walking over and setting a hand on his shoulder to catch his attention. He watched as Hidama reluctantly tore his gaze from the window and looked up at him questionly. "What did you see," He then asked. Hidama shook his head, looking confused, and then answered quietly, "I don't know, it was like…it was like shadows..."
"Daddy, Hidama told them to go away," A now calmed Anata interrupted with a bit of awe in her voice. "What do you mean," Kagome asked her as Inuyasha picked up their son and turned to stare at the little girl. Anata blushed then and said sheepishly, "Well, I mean, he started glowing! All purplely-redlike!"
Wrinkling his brows, Inuyasha looked at Hidama who sat in his arms, looking at the floor. "Is that true, Hidama, did this really happen?" Hidama's face took on a look of deep concentration, so sincere it looked too mature for someone quite his age. Finally, he replied softly, "I don't remember." Then, held out his arms toward his mother with a pleading look on his face.
Inuyasha felt hurt, somewhat, that his own son did not want to remain in his hold, but knew that a mother's was much more comforting then a father's and he walked toward Kagome to pass him over to her awaiting hands, still wondering whether or not what his daughter had said was true.
"Daddy," Anata called as he was about to walk out of the room, and turning, he saw her outstretched arms. Smiling, his hurt feelings mended, he went back and picked her up, holding her protectively as she clung to his shirt.
"So what are we going to do," Kagome asked as they walked out of the bedroom, taking their children with them. Shaking his head, Inuyasha answered back, "I don't know. But let's just worry about that tomorrow, ok?" Kagome nodded her agreement and they started up the stairs, the daughter and son nestled in their arms already drifting back into slumber as they reached the landing at the top and walked into their bedroom, closing and locking the door behind them.
Handing Anata to Kagome, Inuyasha took an extra step of precaution and grabbed the Tetsuiga from its place on a shelf and leaned it against the door as a warding to keep anything from entering at least that way.
Then, he climbed into bed with his wife and children who had already snuggled deep beneath the covers, and pulled the drapes around it shut before wrapping his arms around the ones he loved most and pulling them close in a protective embrace. 'I won't ever let anything happen to you,' He promised as he drifted into sleep as well.
