Chapter 7: What about the Children? What about Our Past?
Kari lies back on the table uncomfortably, looking at all the expensive equipment. She was back in the hospital, waiting on the doctor and Kurama to come in.
"Well I think she'll be the same person you've known for this long year and a half now, Kurama."
Kurama chuckles.
"We'll see doctor."
Both men enter the room and see Kari lying on the table.
"Hey, I wanna thank you two gentlemen for leaving this pregnant woman on a cold table for 15 minutes."
"I apologize Mrs. Youko; I had to wait for your husband to get out of surgery."
Kurama walks over and kisses her.
"Gomen koi."
The doctor preps her for her ultrasound then puts the wand on her stomach. The display shows something like a child on the screen.
"Well congratulations, it's a girl."

Inuyasha holds SaDontè's hand as he takes his son into his new school. SaDontè was now 5, and it was his first day of kindergarten. Looking around, Inuyasha saw other children there with their mothers, afraid to be left alone. Getting a flashback of Kagome, Inuyasha bites his lip trying to hold back tears. He gets all types of looks from the other single parents, namely the mothers. They eyed him hungrily, as if he was a piece of meat. Hating the attention he was getting, he kneeled down in front of SaDontè.
"Now Dontè, I want you to behave while you're in school, okay? Show them that you're a good boy."
"Kay daddy, I will."
"Alright, I'll be back to get you at 2:30."
"Kay."
Noticing his son's quiet demeanor, Inuyasha lifts SaDontè's chin to face him.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"I miss mommy. I wish she was here."
"Yeah, so do I."

Kari is chasing after her 5 month old child who is running around the playroom.
"DollyAnn Youko, get back here!"
The child stops for a moment and smiles, and then goes back to running only in her diaper. Due to her parent's eye color, Dolly came out with violet eyes and chestnut colored hair. After all, black and red made brown. Cutting the energetic child off at the door, Kari scoops her up and carries her over to the changing table. She finally dresses the child, and picks her up.
"Mommy has to leave you with the sitter while she goes to the studio."
The doorbell rings and Kari heads to the front of the house. Opening the door, she greets their personal babysitter with a warm smile.
"Hi Sango, come on in."
The University of New Orleans college student walks in with her book bag flung over her shoulder and takes the baby from Kari. Sango had known Kari ever since she begun to take her epressional dance classes over a year ago. Since then, Sango has become a close friend of the family and started dating Dr. Hiei Jagaan, all while moving on to her 2nd year of Grad school.
"Hey Kari, how's life in the mansion?"
Kari laughs.
"I wouldn't know what you mean, but life here is fine."
"Awl, c'mon, how can you not say this isn't a mansion? This place is huge!"
"It's not that big, but it needs to be remodeled."
"Remodeled?!"
"Yeah, Kurama's getting it done for our anniversary. He's even gonna replace our bedroom ceiling with glass so I can always see the stars."
"Awl, that is so sweet. I wish Hiei would do something special like that for me. So anyway, is he taking you somewhere special?"
"Yeah, we're going to Tokyo for a week."
"Wow! Tokyo??"
"I love anime, so he thought he'd take me to the anime capital of the world. Tokyo has some romantic spots though, don't be fooled."
"How can you have a romantic time with a baby to chase round?"
"That's what I've been meaning to ask you. Would it be possible for you to baby sit here in the house for us that week?"
"What?"
"I mean, we'll leave you the keys to the cars, food, and spending money. We'll even pay you upfront if you want."
"When are you two going?"
"Next week."
"Oh…well sure, I'll be on summer break after this week."
"Great…oh, and one more thing. The architect and the other workers will be here on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. His name is Inuyasha Keith."
"Oh my God, the Inuyasha Keith of Keith Architectures?"
"Yeah, why?"
"He is so sexy!"
"And?"
"And…he's 29, 6 feet tall, cream skinned, gold eyed, long silver hair, and has a body built like a God! And then there's his older brother Shesshoumaru...talk about a sex God!"
"He couldn't look better then my Kurama."
"If not, he comes really close!"
She hands the baby back to Kari and digs inside her bag. Pulling out a Jet Magazine, she opens it to a bookmarked page.
"This is him."
Kari looks at the picture and raises her eyebrows at it.
"Damn, he is cute. Is he married?"
"His wife died on that flight that you were on, but they have a son. His son should be like 4 or 5 by now."
Kari stares at the picture, a memory coming back to her.
Flashback
Inuyasha is walking down the halls of a school while Kagome watches him, holding her books to her chest. He turns her way and smiles, causing her to blush. Stopping in his tracks, he goes over to her.
"Hey, you play for the basketball team, right?"
"Um yeah. Volley and softball too."
"I'm Inuyasha by the way."
"Kagome."
"Yeah…there's this party that my friend from my team is throwing tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?
End Flashback
A/N: Uh oh! Things are heating up!Inuyasha is coming to their house! Will he finally find his Kagome? Or will she forever remain as Kari Youko? Hmmm...since this is a Kag/Kur fic, you tell me. Anyways, for that one reviewer that asked about her being married to both of them...well, I'll work that out later.
