I'm back. . .from outer space. . . lol! And I've got a new chappie!!!
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Kagome wiped her tears away and turned around.
Shocked, she turned to her mother who was trying to hide her laugh with her sleeve.
Kagome turned around again and took in the sight before her, giggling softly.
Sesshoumaru was seated cross-legged on the floor, his hands crossed in front of his chest. Shippo and Rin were playing. . .with his hair!!! They had braided the sides and flowers were stuck in it here and there while a big wreath of white flowers rested on his head. Shippo was sitting inside the wreath and trying to fix it so the hair was piling on didn't fall. Rin was perched on her father's shoulder, braiding hair and handing it to Shippo for the wreath.
Kagome couldn't help it. . .she laughed out loud! Sesshoumaru glanced at Kagome when she started laughing.
/Go ahead and laugh while you can!/ he thought to her, glaring. /But you won't be able to laugh later./
Kagome stopped laughing and sat down next to him, picking Shippo out from his hair.
"Aww. . .you poor baby!" she cooed, making Rin and Shippo giggle.
"Okaa-san, don't you think that Sesshoumaru- sama is pretty?" Rin asked, sliding down from Sesshoumaru's shoulders to sit in Kagome's lap beside Shippo. Kagome smiled at her, nodding.
"Yes, Rin. Sesshoumaru is-"
"Sesshoumaru- SAMA," Rin interrupted. Kagome nuzzled her nose against Rin's making the little girl laugh.
"Sesshoumaru-sama is VERY pretty," Kagome said, smiling at Sesshou. "But don't you think the other lords would get angry that he prettier than they are? We don't want a war now, do we?"
Rin's eyes grew wide. She didn't think about that. She'd have to fix that right away!
"Sorry Sesshoumaru-sama, but Rin has to make you look normal again 'cause Rin don't want a war!" she said, taking all the gunk out of his hair.
"I'm sure I'll manage. . ." he mumbled.
Shippo smiled and burrowed his nose into Kagome's stomach. He loved the way she smelled, even when she was still human. His nose twitched when he smelled something else coming from his mother.
"Mommy," he said, pulling away so he could look at both Kagome and Sesshoumaru. She looked at him, still smiling at the picture her mate made with Rin curled up in his lap.
"Yes Shippo?"
"Why do you smell so different?" he asked seriously his nose twitching. Kagome's brow knotted.
"Different. . .how?" She hugged him tightly.
"You smell a lot like Sesshoumaru-sama does. And something else too."
"Something else? Well, I guess I would smell like Sesshoumaru since we're mates now."
"Cool. Does that make him my otousan?"
"Yes, it does. And Rin is your sister too."
Shippo nodded and curled into a ball on her lap, his bushy tail between his legs. She licked him on the cheek and he squirmed.
"I hope my little brother or sister is okay, Mommy," he said, yawning and snuggling closer.
'He knows that I'm pregnant?!' she thought frantically.
/Relax. It's natural that the pup would sense it. Let's go back inside. Before your father gets here. . ./
'You don't like my father, do you?!'
/*mental sigh* I do like him. He's a good friend of mine. . .but he'll wake up the pups when they need to rest. . .badly./
"Kagome, dear. I forgot to introduce you to your new baby-sitters," Aya said, gesturing to the two pink-haired demons.
"Baby-sitters?"
"Yes. This is Kinza," she said, pointing to the girl with spiked bangs. "And her twin sister Tinza."
"Kinza and Tinza. What kind of demons are you?" Kagome asked, scooping Shippo up and standing. Sesshoumaru did the same, tucking Rin into the crook of his arm.
"Wolf," Kinza replied, grinning.
"Are you in any way related to Kouga?"
"Psh. That wimpy poor excuse for a wolf?" Kinza said, scowling. Tinza nodded her agreement that Kouga was just a wimpy wolf.
"Fortunately, we aren't. I would be very ashamed to share blood with that fool!" Tinza spat.
"That 'wimpy wolf' as you put it happens to be the next Lord of the Northern Lands," Koulas said, leaning on the wall.
"And where did YOU come from, hm?" Aya asked him.
"It's a secret. Where's Souta?"
"Training with Toki. He didn't want to get too beaten up when you started his training."
"Souta? Souta's here?!" Kagome exclaimed, but trying to be quiet at the same time. "Where's Ji-chan? How did you get here? I thought the well only worked for me and Inuyasha these days!"
Sesshoumaru put a hand on her shoulder.
"Let's put the pups to bed before we talk," Koulas suggested and gestured to the twins. They bowed and came forward to take Shippo and Rin from their parents. Kagome at first didn't want to entrust her children to other people. Aya saw this and smiled reassuringly.
"Don't worry Kagome. Wolf demons would die before letting any pup get hurt. That's why they make such excellent baby-sitters."
"Alright Mother. If you say so," Kagome said, giving Shippo to Kinza, who smiled at her before going out the door.
"Now what?" Kagome asked looking around at her family.
"Now we sit down and talk," Aya said, sitting on the grass. The others followed suit and Kagome moved to sit down beside Sesshoumaru but 'eeped' when she was pulled down into his lap instead. Aya chuckled at her daughter only to yelp loudly when she was pulled into her mate's lap. She glared at him as she lay sprawled on his lap while he just chuckled at her.
"Mom, can't you take the spell on you off?" Kagome asked, resting her head back onto Sesshoumaru's shoulders. Aya righted herself and glared at Koulas before answering.
"Yes, I can take it off. In fact, I took Souta's spell off and he's training with Toki. He is very excited to be a demon."
"How did you get here when the well only used to work for me and. . ." 'And Inuyasha'
"For some reason, the well stopped working after your brother was born. I was on my way to the office when your father jumped out of the well, destroying the well house in the process and making a mess of my nice clean backyard! Ji-chan went ballistic, ranting and raving about a demon and he actually tried to vanquish Koulas with one of his ofudas!" Aya laughed. Kagome pictured the scene in her head and giggled. Ji-chan could be so funny sometimes!
"Anyway," Aya continued after she had calmed down a little. "I had to tell him about Koulas and of course he didn't believe it. I had to take the spell off of Souta to prove it. And when I did, Ji-chan fainted, mumbling something about an ancestor turning in it's grave. Souta didn't want to be changed back so I left him that way and Koulas told me that he wanted to take all of us back to his time, this one. We waited until Ji-chan woke up and asked him if he wanted to come with us. He agreed and so we came here. Your babies are so cute, Kagome! Especially that Rin with her furry tail. Anyway, Koulas told Souta that he would begin his training soon and Souta looked around for a trainer as soon as we arrived so that he wouldn't get beaten too badly by his 'cool dad'. Guess who he found. he found Toki! And so they're outside in the garden. . ."
"But. . ." Kagome looked around the garden. "Where's Ji-chan?"
"Taking notes on how youkai train their young. He was interested and had this idea that if there were more notes on youkai then other people would believe that they actually exist. We left out there where he couldn't get into too much trouble. But. . .who is that?!" Aya said, glaring at the man that held her daughter. She knew full well who he was and what he was to her daughter but she wanted to hear it from Kagome herself.
Kagome gulped nervously and held Sesshoumaru's hand tightly.
"Um, Mom. . . This is my um. . .mate Sesshoumaru," she said, sending up a prayer to what ever gods there that her mom wouldn't freak out.they weren't there.
"And WHO said that you could take a mate so early?! You're only 16 Kagome!"
"But Mom! We love each other!" Aya calmed down enough to look into her daughter's face and then to the face of her daughter's mate who had his arms wrapped around Kagome possessively. She nodded her head when she saw that they truly did love each other.
"Alright, it's fine. I just wish that I could be a grandma soon. . ." she conceded knowing that she already was a grandmother. Kagome blushed at her mother's remark.

Hehehe.I hope everyone liked that small itty bitty part. That was supposed to be part of the previous chapter but I got lazy.and it got separated. and it's actually still not complete but I got lazy again! Lol! I must be the laziest gal in town! Hahahahaha. . .
