Summary: AU- Poor Twenty-year-old wolf youkai, Ookami, gets the babysitting job of babysitting the Inu Gang, and other little humans and demons.
Chapter One
Ookami Tanaka finally opened the doors to her new daycare. It was early morning, but still busy in the outside world of Japan. Ookami hopped the daycare would give her the money she needed to finish her schooling, so she could get someplace else in her life.
Ookami was happy school was out for the summer. But this meant she needed to work hard to get everything she needed to get back into school. Luckily her parents owned a little building downtown, and allowed her to use it for a daycare service.
Ookami was twenty-one, energetic, had bright golden eyes, long black hair, and, instead of human ears, had two brownish-gray wolf ears on the top of her head, along with a tail. A good thing about her was that she loved children.
So far she only ran the Daycare, but her friend, Saru, would be coming home from vacation in a week. Saru also loved children, and would be glad to help.
Ookami already had a few children signed up. Most parents were very busy, and needed someone to baby-sit their children while they all went to work. So when they heard about the new daycare, they came to Ookami immediately to sign up.
Ookami went inside and went into her office. She looked at the list of names. So far she had two Inu brothers, two human sisters, a little wolf youkai, and a little fox demon.
In respected order they went by: Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, Kikyo and Kagome, Shippou, and then Koga. Well, to Ookami, the names sounded cute. She just hoped they weren't going to be a big problem.
She set the list down, and took another few moments to greet the calm before the storm. She knew not all the children were going to be little angels. She wanted to just take in the moment of quiet.
That couples of moments weren't very long. There was a loud knock coming from the front double doors. So Ookami left her office, made sure she looked friendly like, and opened the door.
There was a very tall Inu Demon, with his two sons. He had long silver hair, tied up in a ponytail, golden eyes, and markings on his face. He had a slight smile on his face, which made him look very kind hearted.
Behind him was a little boy with long silver hair, like his father, fluffy little ears on his head, and golden eyes. He was wearing a red t-shirt and red shorts. He looked sort of scared, and didn't look like he wanted to leave.
Beside the tall Inu Youkai was an older looking boy. He looked almost exactly like his father, just younger, and didn't keep his hair up. He wore a white shirt with some blue shorts.
"Hello. This is the new Daycare… or did I take a wrong turn?" The father teased.
"Oh!" Ookami said, straightening herself out. "Yes, sorry, welcome!"
"Daddy I don't want to be left with this strange woman!" the littlest boy cried.
"Don't be a sissy, Inuyasha." the older one, which Ookami guessed was Sesshomaru, said. "That makes you weak."
"I… am not a weak sissy!" Inuyasha said, puffing his chest out a little, and slowly walking in.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, and walked in after his little brother. Ookami watched as they started to look around, looking at the toys and different things she had for them laid out. "I see they get along great."
"You should see them at home…" Their father said. "If you could please keep them separated every once and awhile. They get on each other if they aren't."
Ookami smiled. "Don't worry. There's plenty things to do for them here."
Their father thanked her, and said he'd be back around three to pick them up. Ookami walked over to the boys. Sesshomaru was sitting reading a book, while Inuyasha was banging a truck on the ground, pretending it was blowing up.
"Now you must be…" Ookami said, going towards the calmer one. "Sesshomaru, right? How old are you?"
"Five." Sesshomaru answered not looking up from the book.
"Okay then…and I know you must be Inuyasha." Ookami said.
"Yeah, so?" Inuyasha said, throwing the blown up truck in the air. "I'm four!"
"He's not my brother." Sesshomaru said, looking up from the book. "Not my full brother at least."
"Oh really?" Ookami said. "Why is that?"
"His mother was a human." Sesshomaru answered.
"Well she was better then your mom!" Inuyasha said, setting down the truck.
"Well your moms dead too." Sesshomaru answered.
Inuyasha looked a little hurt, but then he leaped up and ran towards Sesshomaru. Luckily Ookami was quicker then the little Hanyou, and caught his shirt before he could do any damage. "That's enough, Inuyasha. Sesshomaru, don't talk about things like that."
She set Inuyasha down. Inuyasha mumbled some things under his breath, and then went back to his cars. Ookami made note that Sesshomaru was the trouble starter, and Inuyasha could be up for a challenge any time.
There was another knock on the double doors, and Ookami answered it. There was a lady with short black hair, and a large stomach. She looked tired already. Beside her were two girls. They looked almost exactly alike.
"Hello!" One of the girls said. She was wearing a green tank top, with green shorts. She had long black hair, and big brown eyes. She looked eager to start her day.
"Hello to you two." Ookami said. "Welcome to the Daycare."
"Thank you so much." The two girls mother said. "It's hard enough trying to get things done around the Shrine when you're already pregnant."
"Third one?" Ookami asked. The mother laughed and nodded. "Well I'll be happy to take the care of the girls for you."
"My name is Kagome Higurashi!" the little girl said. "This is my older sister Kikyo."
The older one didn't say a word. She was very quiet, and didn't look to be the social type. She wore a white shirt and red pants. Ookami let them in, and said goodbye to Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome immediately started to dig around the toy box, and Kikyo sat down at the table with some paper and colored pencils.
"So how old are you Kikyo?" Ookami asked.
"I'm six." She replied. "Kagome doesn't know her age, and she's four."
"Oh okay." Ookami said. "What are you doing?"
"I love to color." Kikyo replied.
Ookami left Kikyo to her coloring, and went over to where Kagome was playing with the dolls. "Hello Kagome!"
"Hi…ahh…what's your name again?" Kagome asked.
"My name is Ookami."
"Ookami! Hello! I like this doll." Kagome said.
"Really? That used to be my doll." Ookami said. "A lot of these toys used to be mine."
"That's cool!" Kagome said.
"Lady O…o…O…"
Inuyasha was tugging at Ookami's jeans. Inuyasha couldn't quite say Ookami's name. Ookami smiled.
"You can call me Ami." Ookami said. (Pronounced A-Mee, not Ah-Mee. It's the last three letters of her name.)
"Lady Ami, I'm hungry." Inuyasha finished.
"But you just got here." Ookami said. "Didn't you eat breakfast?"
"No…" Inuyasha said. "I don't like what we had."
"Daddy told him to starve!" Sesshomaru inputted.
"No he didn't!" Inuyasha cried. "He said if I don't eat then I'll have to wait for lunch!"
Ookami told Inuyasha that their snack time would be a little later. After a little pursuing, and a promise, Inuyasha finally went back to his playing. So far the two brothers, and two sisters stayed away from each other. It was either because they didn't know each other and were too shy, or they just didn't want to mingle.
But Ookami figured they'd get to know each other through the course of the summer. And, hopefully, everyone will have fun.
