Title: All it took was a Simple Mistake
Summary: It was a mistake. All she needed was directions to the Mall but he mistook her for the new Nanny. Trying to tell him who she really was didn't really matter at all any more since the kids have taken a liking to her and she's taking a liking to their father… Inuyasha.

Genre: Romance/Tragedy
Rating: R
Aging: Kagome 19 -.-.-.-.- Inuyasha 24 -.-.-.-.- Twins 4
NOTE: My rating has gone UP to R for various reasons. One being that I will start to use cuss words in this fanfic so I can't risk getting it reported. So, if you cannot stand vulgar language then I suggest you read at your own risk. BUT there will probably be no lemon in this story, just mild lime but I don't want to ruin the Aki and Sao mood created with a deep lemony lemon. Perhaps a mild lime but that's just it.
So, RATING BUMPED to R for LANGUAGE. READ AT OWN RISK.
It's Family… It's Love… It's Home… Read on…-.-.-.-Chapter 9: Snowman cookies
Suddenly they saw a Black Lexus pull up.
"Daddy, we sick." Sao mumbled from his scarf.
"What?" He asked worriedly. He rushed over. "Kagome! How can you let them out?" He asked temperamentally.
"They're better, much better, and they insisted."
"Are you sure?" he asked while looking at his twins.
Sao nodded. "Want me to prove it?" Sao asked.
Inuyasha nodded, wondering what his brats were gonna do.
He saw Sao rush over to Aki and whisper something in his ear. They both turned around and crouched. Inuyasha was confused but Kagome knew what they were doing.
They turned around with mischief in their eyes.
"Dad…" Sao started.
Inuyasha was scared… very scared…
"Think fast." Aki finished as they threw snowballs at Inuyasha.
Both Aki and Sao's snowballs hit Inuyasha… square in the… face.
Inuyasha's eyes were wide open, his mouth agape. Kagome clamped a hand over her mouth to stop the laughter from pooling out but it didn't work. She burst into sheer laughter's.
"OH MY GOSH! HAHAHA!" Kagome burst into laughter's. Her jaw was hurting, her sides were splitting, her head was hurting, she was even crying.
Aki and Sao started giggling like mad, thanks to the look on their fathers face.
"Dad, you got snowballed!" Sao screamed.
Kagome was literally rolling on the floor now, thanks to Aki and Sao's little 'I can prove we're better' trick.
Inuyasha face twisted into an evil smirk. He looked at Kagome and his smirked widened.
"Oh let's see who's laughing now." He said comically as he lunged at Kagome and grabbed her around the waist. He had snow in his hand and he looked at the twins.
"Beg for mercy, or the girl gets it." He said like a mafia man.
Aki and Sao pretend to be Dangerous Ninja's saving the helpless girl.
"Let her go evil dog man." Aki said as he got a snowball rolled up.
Sao charged at Inuyasha and grabbed his leg. Aki then threw the snowball at Inuyasha, but his reflexes pushed Kagome in front of him, her face getting the impact of the snow.
Kagome's eyes widened. "Oh now you didn't." She roared as she pushed into onto the snow. Aki and Sao rushed over to her and started shoving snow down Inuyasha's shirt.
"HOLY THAT'S COLD!" Inuyasha screamed as he got up shivering. Kagome, Aki and Sao ran away laughing, afraid that Inuyasha would try to do something stupid to them.
Once they came inside, Kagome made Aki and Sao change into dry cloths. Kagome also ordered Inuyasha to change, as his shirt was soaking.
As soon as the Takahashi boys came down, they were engulfed in the beautiful scent of Lemon tea.
"Oh… Lemon." Aki said as he climbed onto his chair.
"Tea." Sao murmured as he did his chair.
Inuyasha chucked a ball at Kagome's head, which bonked off and landed in the pot of tea.
"HEY! YOU INCONSIDERATE FOOL!" Kagome cried, trying her best not to swear.
Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow. "Inconsiderate fool?" He repeated.
Kagome puffed her chest out and pulled the ball out of the tea. She then put another batch of tea on the stove.
Inuyasha found that insanely cute.
'Wait, cute?' he thought as he shook his head.
Finally, after the tea was drunk, Inuyasha had to go do some work on his laptop.
'All he does is work. What is his job?' Kagome thought as she took out flour.
"Kagome, what are you doing?" Aki asked.
"Making cookies, want to help?"
Sao and Aki grinned as they rushed into the kitchen and stood on their little stools.
"Ok, what do we do?" Sao asked.
"Well, I want my Honey to take out all off the cookie cutters and my Sweetie to knead the dough."
Aki pouted. "But I wanna…"
"Oh don't worry Honey. Sao kneads half, and you do the other half while Sao takes out the baking sheets."
Aki grinned as he went to get the cookie cutters. Kagome didn't give them that much dough, just a little bit that would satisfy them.
Inuyasha was sitting on the kitchen counter watching them and typing up on his laptop.
"Ok, Sweetie, bring me the baking sheets. Honey, knead the dough."
And they did as Kagome told them to.
"Alright, now we roll the dough out… where's the roller?" Kagome asked. Aki and Sao jumped off their stools and started opening drawers and cupboards, just for looking for the roller.
Finally, Aki found it in the fridge. Kagome frowned. "What's it doing in the fridge?"
Aki and Sao shrugged but continued to watch Kagome roll out the dough. Finally, after it was in a thin layer, Kagome turned to the boys.
"We have a lot of cutters, what type of cookies do you want?"
"SNOWMAN!" Aki cried out in glee.
Sao clapped in agreement. Kagome laughed as Sao put back all of the cutters, but kept the Snowman cutters out.
"Alright, now I want Aki to push down REALLY hard okay?" Kagome said. Aki nodded as Kagome positioned the cutter. She lifted Aki up who leaned forward and cut the cookie.
Kagome took off the cutter and showed the snowman to the boys.
"Ta daa!" She grinned. Sao and Aki shrieked with happiness.
"Now Sweetie's turn." Kagome said sweetly as she lifted Sao up, who pressed really hard. Kagome showed them Sao's snowman, which was a little ripped but Sao didn't mind.
"And now… my turn." Kagome laughed as she cut down onto her cookie.
"My turn!" Inuyasha whined as he stood up.
"Ok, ok… whiner."
Inuyasha smirked as he bent down and cut the imprint. He then, without anybody noticing, dipping a finger into the bag of flour. As Kagome positioned the cookies on the baking sheet, he put a bit of flour on her nose.
"HEY!" She shrieked as she went cross-eyed to see the flour on her nose.
Aki and Sao started laughing, seeing as Kagome had flour on her nose and cheeks.
Kagome pouted. "You're one mean man Inuyasha."
Inuyasha chuckled as Kagome kept on cutting cookies, leaving the flour on her nose.
Finally, Kagome put the baking sheet in the oven, at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. She got out icing sugar and little candy pieces for decoration.
"Since we have 12 cookies, we won't need a lot of decoration." Kagome said.
So Aki, Sao, Kagome and now Inuyasha since he didn't feel like working any more, walking into the family room.
"So, how was your day?" The three asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha groaned.
"Not fun."
"Why?" Sao asked.
"Your Uncle Sesshomaru came into the office today saying that we have to go to a party next Sunday and we have to bring a lady."
Aki smiled. "Let's bring Kagome!"
Kagome looked confused. "Eh?"
Inuyasha smirked. "You know Aki, that isn't a bad idea."
Kagome was scared. "Hey, who said ANYTHING about me going to some party?"
"Me." Inuyasha said plainly.
Kagome pouted. "No fair."
Sao climbed onto Kagome's lap and gave her the puppy dog look. "Onegai?"
Kagome sighed. "OK, but what type of party?"
"Gathering. There's this kid section for the few kids that the company has. Aki, Sao and their cousin basically who's a year younger than them. And then we have the Fox workers who have a little fox kit. So that's only 4."
Kagome nodded as Inuyasha continued.
"Elegant gowns are what they mostly wear, with expensive jewellery."
Kagome groaned. "What? I have none of those…"
Inuyasha stared at Kagome for a moment. "Are you Kikyo's size?" He asked finally.
Kagome thought for a moment. "Um… she's one dress size bigger than me but almost."
Inuyasha smiled. "Then we have nothing to sorry about."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I think I have one of Kikyo's dresses with me. I never threw it away, since she never wore it. I also have some jewellery that goes with it. Kikyo never knew about that dress and I'm pretty sure it'll fit you."
Kagome looked thoughtful. "Probably." She murmured. "But why do you need a female accompany?" Kagome asked.
"Since I never go with a girl, my brother and I can't make permanent deals since the companies we deal with want Family men and my brother is the only family guy in our family. He has a mate, and a kid. I on the other hand have two pups and no wife or mate. So our business partners said that if I can pull of the family guy type I'm booked."
Kagome sighed. "So I don't play anything except nanny?"
Inuyasha nodded. "Then I'm good." Kagome said.
Suddenly the timer went off, signalling that the cookies were done.
"Aki, Sao, time to decorate." Kagome grinned as the three rushed to the kitchen. Finally, after half an hour of cookies cooling down and another half an hour of decorating the cookies, the four decided to eat it.
"Oh yum, this good…" Aki said, this mouth full of icing.
"Hmm…" Sao said as he shut his eyes and chewed.
"Pretty good." Inuyasha agreed as he bit into a snowman.
Kagome grinned. "I know, old family recipe."
"Eh?" Inuyasha asked.
"I added a special ingredient."
"What's that?" Sao asked.
"Ginger." Kagome said simpily.
"GINGER?" Inuyasha screamed.
"Yea, it makes it taste tangy yet good."
The three shrugged and continued to eat.
Finally, by the end of the day, the twins were pooped and were sent off to bed. Kagome and Inuyasha remained on the couch, after tucking the boys in, and were watching a horror movie.
"Ai! I don't like the Grudge." Kagome said as she dug her face into a couch pillow.
"Oh it isn't that scary."
"Hello, I've watched the English version a few months ago. My best friend told me the Japanese version is ever scarier."
"That it is." Inuyasha said as he hit play.
Half way through the movie, Inuyasha and Kagome's position changed. Now Inuyasha was laying down on the sofa with Kagome on him. His arms were wrapped around her waist as her head was tucked nicely into his chest, with his chin resting on her head.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome finally said as a boring part came up.
"Yea?"
"What's your job?"
"Vice President of Taisho Industry."
"Wow, Vice… so why living in these parts of Hong Kong?" Kagome asked.
"After what happened with Kikyo…" and Inuyasha left it there.
'What did Kikyo do that makes him hate her so much?' Kagome thought as she shut her eyes, a scary scene coming up.
'Why am I telling her these things… I don't even trust her… or… maybe… shit this is ultra confusing!' Inuyasha thought.
Suddenly, something that his brother said popped into his head.
-. -. Flash back -. -.
Inuyasha was sitting in Sesshomaru's living room as his twins were in the playroom with their cousin.
"So, what are you gonna do now? The twins need a mother." Sesshomaru told Inuyasha.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were pretty close. They didn't hate each other, but they didn't show their love for each other either. Suppose they were neutral.
Inuyasha shrugged. "I don't know. Things are getting way to confusing…" Inuyasha mumbled as he sipped his beer.
Sesshomaru stared at his brother. "Inuyasha, you need to talk to somebody."
"Like who dammit? I have nobody to talk to!"
"What about Rin and I?"
"You guys are stinkin family, you're gonna say the same, 'Get a mother for the twins'!" Inuyasha hissed.
"Ok, then, don't bother getting a mother for the twins, but you need to talk to somebody before your insides are chewed up."
"And who would that be?"
"I dunno. It may be me, or Rin, or even your secretary. But there is gonna be somebody that you'll talk to, and knowing you, that person must be a send from Heaven, 'cause God, Inuyasha you don't open up that easily."
"Shut it Fluffy." Inuyasha gruffed.
Sesshomaru shrugged. "All I'm saying is that talk to somebody, it'll help you."
"And who made you Mother Teresa?"
"What the hell does that mean? I'm only being your brother Inuyasha! If you can't get that and I might as well turn back to ignoring you."
Inuyasha got up and walked to get the twins. "I don't care anymore Sesshomaru…"
"Just talk to somebody." Sesshomaru said again as Inuyasha left with the twins."
-. -. End -. -.
'Maybe this is her?' Inuyasha thought as Kagome squealed, covering her face with a pillow.
Finally, after half an hour, the movie ended and Kagome got up, with tears in her eyes.
"THAT WAS SO SCARY!" She said in a loud whisper. Inuyasha chuckled as he clicked off the movie. Kagome got up, stretched her arms and legs and plopped down onto the sofa.
"So, if we're not gonna talk or do anything, I'm off to bed." She said. She was about to get up when Inuyasha grabbed her wrist, ushering her to sit down.
"Can I… can I tell you what happened with Kikyo?" he asked.
Kagome was confused but nodded.
"Well, it all started a few years ago when she was a transfer student in my school…"
And Inuyasha told Kagome everything, even things he didn't want to tell her, but everything came out so easily. At one point he grabbed Kagome's hand and held it in his. This caused Kagome to blush madly.
Finally, he finished his story and Kagome was awestruck.
"That… that…"
Inuyasha knew what Kagome was trying to say.
"That whore…" Kagome finally said as tears stung her eyes. "How can she do that to Aki. To Sao… to you." She wept out.
Inuyasha was surprised. "Hey… why are you crying?"
"This… I… oh I get so emotional…" Kagome cried.
Inuyasha chuckled. "Hey, it's all over now. Aki and Sao have you to take care of them…"
Kagome smiled. "I suppose you're right."
Inuyasha led both of them upstairs. He stopped at Kagome's room and wished her goodnight.
"Thanks," he whispered as Kagome tied her hair up. Kagome smiled. "No problem."
"I didn't know how much that helped." Inuyasha muttered.
Kagome patted his shoulder and smiled sweetly. "I'm happy you're happy." She said softly.
Then Inuyasha did the most unexpected thing. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against Kagome's. He then pulled back, winked at her and went to bed.
Kagome stood there for a few seconds and touched her lips. 'Did he… did he just kiss me?' she thought as she tried to process it. The scene was replaying in her head a few hundred times a minute.
'He kissed me.' She concluded as she changed and went to bed.
-. -. Inuyasha -. -.
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he just did. He had kissed the twins' nanny. Higurashi Kagome, the stepsister of his ex-wife. He had kissed her.
He replayed this night's entire event in his head. The position they were in while watching the Grudge. Of when he told her about Kikyo, and now… their kiss.
Inuyasha smiled slightly as he lay on his side. And before he went to sleep, his last thoughts were…
'I think I love Kagome…'
Yea, rushed yes, kawaii yes… totally Inu/Kag… YES!
Did you like it? You know what job Inuyasha is doing… you know why he isn't livin' in a kick ass mansion… sorta… I'll explain that into detail later but now Kagome is joining him for a Staff gathering.
Oh! And next Chapter… KOUGA… he smells DOG on HIS woman… ooo things are gonna get heated!
Stay tuned!
Lub, Sakura
