Ch.5 Back 2 The Future

When they emerged from the house the sight of Kagome's house met their eyes. Kagome smiled and ran to the back door and then into the house. "Oka- san, Souta!" (Sp oka-san?) She called "Kagome?" came a voice from the kitchen. "Hai it's me!" Kagome answered happily. Meanwhile Inuyasha had entered the house and was closing the door when he heard a high-pitched squeal of happiness that made him cover his ears and kneel in pain with his eyes closed.

Kagome had a similar reaction to her mother's happy squeal. "Uhh oka-san not so loud!" Kagome yelled from her position on the floor. Her mother gasped, "Oh I'm so sorry dear I forgot." Kagome got up shaking her head to clear the ringing from her ears. "No it's ok you forgot, I forgive you." Kagome said giving a reassuring smile. "Well I'm not so sure I do, I think I'm not gonna hear properly for a week." Came a gruff voice and Kagome turned to see her mate rubbing his ears in pain. 'That's right his hearing is better than mine.' "Oh Inuyasha please, I'm really sorry I didn't mean any harm." Inuyasha walked over to a chair still rubbing an ear and sat down.

"Feh." Was all he said but it was all that was needed, Kagome smiled and turned to her mother giving her a reassuring nod. Her mother smiled, "How about something to eat, I have ramen." At the mention of ramen Inuyasha's ears perked up, "I'll have some." He yelled and Kagome sighed shaking her head with a small smile. 'He never changes.' "I'll have some too oka-san if it's not to much trouble." "Trouble? Why it's no trouble at all dear how often is it I get to see you? I want to spoil you when I can." Kagome smiled warmly and sat down in a chair next to Inuyasha.

She had just gotten comfortable when the front door burst open and a taller slightly more mature looking Souta came in. "Oka-san I'm home, I got a B on my language arts test and an A on my math quiz." He yelled from the foyer as he took off his shoes and deposited his book bag by the door. "Hi hunny, good job oh we have company." Mrs. Higurashi called to her son. "Really who would be visiting this early in the after.. Inuyasha!" The young man yelled as he had just entered the kitchen. "Hey runt." Inuyasha greeted warmly but Souta frowned. "I'm not a runt." He said stubbornly. Inuyasha smirked, "Come here."

Souta walked over to his hero/brother in law and Inuyasha stood. He towered over the smaller male by almost 3 feet. "See you are a runt." "No I'm not, not everyone has youkia blood so not everyone can be a '6"7 giant like you." Souta pouted and Inuyasha just smirked and ruffled his hair before sitting back down. "Well hello to you too Souta." Kagome said sarcastically. Souta looked over at his older sister. "Oh hey Kagome." He said happily.

Kagome just shook her head, a smile on her face. "Man am I hungry!" Souta exclaimed as he took a seat to the left of Inuyasha. Mrs. Higurashi looked at her son. "Didn't you eat lunch?" She asked from her place at the stove a slightly concerned look on her face. "No Lee and Josh stole my money again." Souta explained his head bent in slight shame. "Who are this Lee and Josh?" Kagome asked. "The school bullies." Replied her mother. "They've been beating me up and taking my money for weeks now." Souta added then reached to take the bowl of ramen his mother had just handed him.

Kagome and Inuyasha also took theirs and nodded their thanks. Inuyasha ate his ramen with manners that Mrs. Higurashi had never seen before. They weren't near perfect but were far better than how he used to inhale his food. She watched him with awe until she remembered that it was rude to stare and averted her eyes to her tea. 'Kagome must have taught him some manners. I mean he is a Lord now.'

Inuyasha had just finished and pushed his ramen away, he had a determined look on his face. "Ok Souta this is how it's going to work, I'll take you to school and you can introduce me to this Lee and his little friend Josh." Mrs. Higurashi looked at her son in law with a face that was somewhat between confusion and surprise. Souta looked at him with total admiration and joy while Kagome just had a knowing/warning look. ~No killing or beating you can scare them but you're not allowed to hurt them. ~ Inuyasha smiled ~I wasn't even thinking of touching them I'm just gonna give them a show that will have them scared shitless. ~ Kagome smirked. She was all for it and even thought she might join in. ~Actually Inu I think I might join you, this could be fun. ~ Inuyasha's smirk grew into a proud grin. ~Whatever you want mate. ~

After seeing the looks and glances that went between her older children and knowing about their telepathic link Mrs. Higurashi was slightly worried. Inuyasha was known for showing off and taking things a bit far. Kagome was a little more reserved but nowhere near as reserved as she was when she was human. No Mrs. Higurashi had witnessed a major change in her daughter. She had become cocky, arrogant, sly, bitchy, and even more stubborn since becoming a hanyou. Basically in a nutshell Kagome had become a female Inuyasha. She wasn't as bad and still knew what was going to far but still Mrs. Higurashi was worried.

"Kagome, Inuyasha I want to make sure that you're not going to harm these children. I don't want a lawsuit on my hands." Kagome smiled "don't worry oka-san I already made that clear." Mrs. Higurashi sighed in relief (Maybe she hasn't changed as much as I thought.) "We're just going to scare the shit outta them." Kagome added and Mrs. Higurashi did an anime fall. (I spoke to soon.) "Don't worry oka-san I won't let them get into to much trouble." Souta assured her.

Mrs. Higurashi just shook her head. "I'm going to deny everything if I get a phone call." And with that she went to her room to take a nap and try to clear the fearful images of what her hanyous might do from her head. "Hey Kagome?" "Yes Inuyasha?" She replied turning back from watching where her mother had disappeared to look at her mate. " Once we take care of this thing at Souta's middle school, lets go and take care of that Houjo problem then we can hang out with your friends for a while since you wanted to see them." Kagome looked open mouthed in surprise at him then she smiled her face full of joy. "Sure and thank you."

Inuyasha being Inuyasha just fehed it away like it was nothing. Souta shrugged then ran off to do "homework" in his room. Kagome and Inuyasha decided to watch some TV and retreated to the living room. About an hour later found Inuyasha sitting on one end of the sofa, his head resting on his fist and his elbow on the arm rest. He was in a lounging position with one of his legs spread out on the couch and the other hanging off the side. Kagome was curled up in front of him with her head resting on his chest and his free arm wrapped around her shoulders. They were in the middle of watching The Lord Of The Rings, The Two Towers the extended version when Kagome's grandfather came through the front door in a suit.

The two hanyous looked over their shoulders at him waiting for him to notice their presence. "I swear these neighborhood meetings just get more boring every month." Ji-san (sp?) muttered removing his hat and coat. When he came into the living room he still didn't notice them. "What! Who left this TV on?" The old man said in irritation. He picked up the remote and clicked it off. Kagome was fighting to keep from giggling she couldn't believe he hadn't noticed them yet. Inuyasha was smirking this was too funny.

However when the old man tried to sit on them the couple couldn't sit quietly anymore. "Ji-san!" Kagome said causing the old man to jump then turn and fall on his butt facing them clutching his chest in fright. "Kagome!" he exclaimed in surprise, "When did you get here?" he asked in confusion. That was the last straw Kagome and Inuyasha burst into fits of endless laughter. "What?" the old man asked he was extremely confused as to why the question was so funny.

Kagome finally got herself together enough to answer. Tears of mirth were in her eyes when she replied. "We've been here the entire time you never noticed. We were gonna wait for you acknowledge us but then you tired to sit on me." Inuyasha had calmed down enough to where he was just chuckling now. "It was very funny." He added. Ji-san looked at his grandson in law and reached into his sleeve. He produced a sutra and slapped it on Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha looked confused for a moment and was blinking his eyes, "That will teach you some respect." Ji-san said then left to go change.

Inuyasha fehed and pulled the fake sutra off his forehead, Kagome was giggling. "When are we going to tell him those stupid things don't work?" Inuyasha asked her as he balled up the sutra and threw it in a trash can 10 feet away. "Oh come on let him have some fun." Kagome replied then smiled and added, "Besides it's kinda funny." "Yeah to you. It's not so funny when you're on the receiving end of those things." Kagome frowned and looked up at him slightly confused.

" I thought you said they didn't work." Inuyasha crossed his arms scowling, "They don't but it's still humiliating." Kagome smiled and nuzzled his neck, "Aw come on it's not that bad. Lighten up a little." "Feh." He replied before nuzzling her neck in return, purring. Kagome returned the purr and climbed onto his lap straddling him. She pulled back then came back down to meet him in a kiss. They had just gotten into it when. "Kagome and Inuyasha sitting in a tree." Kagome pulled back and turned to her brother a deadly glare on her face.

"Souta you have five seconds to run before I pound you!!" Souta took off running and Kagome sighed. She then turned back to her mate he had a somewhat humorous look in his eyes. "What's so funny?" she asked her ears pulled back and her head cocked in confusion. He gave a light chuckle then grabbed her and flipped them so that she was on her back on the couch under him. "I just find it funny that you two love each other and can get along without really killing each other."

Kagome's brow furrowed in utter confusion "How is that funny?" Inuyasha looked a little sad for a second but his countenance brightened soon and he grin/smirked, "It's funny because you two are no longer the same species and yet accept each other. You don't try to kill him for being human and so called inferior and he doesn't shun you for not being of pure blood anymore." Realization of what he was talking about ran through Kagome's head. She lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She next drew him close and hugged him to her chest her lips resting on his head near his ears.

"Inuyasha It's not your fault. Sesshoumaru is just an asshole who's jealous that you were the favorite and that your father chose to give the Tetsusaiga to you. Don't let him bring you down and don't let what others say or do affect you. You are beautiful just the way you are." Inuyasha closed his eyes and sighed in relief, "Thank you Kagome." She smiled, "Don't mention it."

His grip tightened on her slightly and before Kagome knew it he was asleep. Kagome sighed and hugged him close (Inuyasha, my love, you need to stop watching over me and get some sleep yourself. You ware yourself out.) She decided that since she was trapped and seeing as she was so comfy she would join Inuyasha in a nap. Mrs. Higurashi walked in a little while later to find the sleeping couple. (How cute!! I'll let them sleep it must be hard running and protecting a territory.) She turned the lights down (AN: It's one of those knobs you turn two dim the lights.) and left them alone.
