Authoress: Liko-chan
Warnings: Language, Major fluff, OOCness, TWT, humor
Summary: Distant Sequel to RFLO; Rin is pregnant and decides to teach Kagome how to make a special blend of treats, when she goes over for pregnancy aid. Inuyasha falls in love with food and Sesshoumaru is being his usual silent self... Or maybe that's worry etched causing his brow to furrow.
Disclaimer: To get straight to the point, I don't own Inuyasha, nor do I own Kibbles-n-Bits. Sadly, I don't own anything remotely related to Inuyasha, except for a few fanfics, and the three movies, which I purchased legally from a store . . . 'nuff said . . . onto the chapter!
A.N.- It's been so long! Forgive me! I planned to update a LONG time ago, but got sick, then all this other stuff happened . . . ugh! Sorry, but my life just got in the way!

Secondly . . . a fan nominated my story 'rin's four-legged obsession' in the inuyasha fan guild comedy award thanks a lot! ...you've all been great, really wonderful fans! ...again, forgive me for . . . postponing, and here's your update!
Oh, yea! I have the 3rd Inuyasha movie! Now, I have all 3 movies, and I hear a fourth one is being made!
Kibbles and Bits
Chapter 3: The Two Day Trip: Day 1
Rin sat up, her back aching from the pressure being applied to it. She had slept on her back all night, occasionally twisting and re-adjusting the sheet over her. She had gotten hot, then too cold . . . but her Sesshoumaru was there to pull the blanket in place when she shivered, and pull it down some, when she would sweat. He was truely a supporting mate . . . one of a kind.
But as usual, he didn't sleep a wink. He sat beside her on his futon, which was given to him, and watched her sleep, every once in a while, looking out the window. The moon shone through, casting the light inside and onto Rin's fair skin. Eventually the moon hid behind the trees and distantly, the sun forced it's rays over the mountan range.
Having woken upon sunrise, Rin looked over to Sesshoumaru. He was looking at the door of the room they were in, then turned his attention to his mate. She smiled and tried to get up, but that proved to be a pointless waste of energy so Sesshoumaru stood up, reaching down to help Rin to her feet. Smirking at her, he thought, even pregnant she still looks amazing . . .
"Good morning, Lord Sesshoumau, " Rin smiled. She stood on her tippy toes and with much effort--for she was now much heavier than her feet were used to carrying, and pecked a kiss on his lips.
Nodding, Sesshoumaru quickly bent his knees, so she didn't have to put so much pressure on her toes and deepened the kiss. Rin smilled into the kiss, pulling away to breathe before the lip lock became too intimate. It took a lot of energy to stand up, then to tippy toe and actually hold her breath while they kissed...well, she was already tired. Not to mention her feet ached.
Sesshoumaru allowed Rin to straighten herself up, watching as she tried to fix her hair. It was long, dark, and beautiful but sleeping with it untied caused the silky locks to become unruly. She smiled as he tied her obi for her--not too tight, then she handed him her brush. She didn't manage to brush it all so, occasionally, he'd brush it. Since he didn't exactly want any of the housemaids touching his Rin, he took on the liberty of grooming her, himself. She did the same for him--when she wasn't as bloated as she was.
They headed into the living room, after hearing Inuyasha's loud mouth. Just as he was yesterday, today he was complaining and searching for the food Rin made the night before. He nearly jumped her as she walked out of the room, practically begging her to make more.
Rin was slightly worried...He looked as though he might be addicted...
Of course, Sesshoumaru almost lost it. As he shoved Inuyasha through the exit flap of the hut, Rin grabbed his arm, lightly, stopping her lord from following after the hanyou.
Her solemn look immediately changed to a big smile, "It's too early, Lord Sesshoumaru. Besides, we must prepare to travel. Today, we head for home!"
Sesshoumaru merely nodded, and looked over at Kagome, who had everything packed and ready, smiling widely. Her son,Inukinshou, was just as happy as she was. Running circles around the table and his mother. He nearly missed crashing into his father as the hanyou made his way back in, grumbling on and on about wretched brothers who deserved to die.
Sesshoumaru just rolled his eyes.Honestly, Sesshoumaru thought, did they think going to his home would be THAT enjoyable? He lived there all his life and nothing good ever happened...Well, except Rin...Oh, and the first time they-
"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome interrupted his thoughts.
"Hn?"
The poor woman was struggling with bags and bags of unnecessary junk that she, obviously, planned to bring to his home. Boy, was she in for a wake-up call!
"Where, exactly, are you going with that?" Sesshoumaru asked, motioning toward the luggage the woman had. His eyebrow twitched when Inukinshou decided he'd rather run circles around his uncle's legs rather than his mom's.
Kagome blushed. "Uh . . . ah . . . Um . . . I-"
"Where the hell do ya think?" Inuyasha answered for his wife, "To the damn castle! ...Jeez, Sesshoumaru . . . Never thought you'd be so dense!" Inuyasha yelled.
Rin sighed. Really she wasn't in the mood for this, and obviously neither was Sesshoumaru, since he completely ignored his aggressive little brother.
The taiyoukai sighed as he led Rin outside. If the woman planned to bring her whole life with her to his castle, then she'd better be able to carry it ALL too!
After standing around outside for a short while, Rin finally sat on the ground. It seemed like everything ached: her feet, her legs, her tummy, and her back. And the little bits that didn't hurt before were starting to hurt now . . . She sighed and tugged on Sesshoumaru's haori pants' leg.
"Lord Sesshoumaru?"
Sesshoumaru, who was leaning against a tree beside Rin, looked down. She looked so miserable, yet she still smiled. And despite all the effort she placed in that smile, he could still see how horrible she was feeling. A pang of guilt shot through him; maybe Rin was too young, maybe she wasn't ready to bear a demon's offspring.
He continued to stare at her while deep in thought, until she tugged on his pants, hard, to get his attention.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!" she said, just as kindly, but she tugged on his pants each time she spoke to emphasize each word, " I'm hungry."
Sesshoumaru smirked. Just like old times, she was whining! He pulled away from the tree, just as Kagome came out of the hut, yelling profusely about 'arrogant husbands, who won't carry her bags!'.
Rin smiled as the miko made her way over to her and sat down on one of her stuffed bags. "So . . . how are we going to get there? We can't possibly walk all that way . . . with you in your condition . . . " And me, with all this stuff...
Rin nodded and pointed at Sesshoumaru, who had moved toward the hut. "Lord Sesshoumaru is calling upon Ah-Un, so we don't have to walk."
Kagome nodded. "Ah? Un?"
Rin giggled, "No, AhUn. One word." She nodded when Kagome mouthed the name, silently, "It's Lord Sesshoumaru's dragon . . . with two heads!" She waved her hand in the general direction Sesshoumaru was. "After I first met Sesshoumaru, I rode on them."
Kagome nodded again. "I see. Maybe I could get in touch with Sango and borrow Kirara . . ."
Rin shook her head, and just as Kagome was about to tell her about Kirara, Inuyasha interrupted them. He came marching out of the hut with Inukinshou on his shoulder. As always, he was complaining about something. And today, it happened to be Rin's special dish.
Rin smiled at Kagome, and started to get up. "Lord Sesshoumaru will let AhUn carry you along with me."
Kagome nodded. She noticed the pregnant woman was struggling to stand so she leaned over and helped her, standing up also. They headed to the small hut.
Sesshoumaru turned off to see Rin leading Kagome inside the hut. AhUn wouldn't be here until later in the afternoon, and now, judging by the place of the sun, it was around noon. Time was going by fast.
Sesshoumaru followed the duo into the hut, taking notice of Rin eating and Kagome talking. Inuyasha was nowhere in sight. After he'd walked out of the hut, no one really noticed where he walked off to.
Sesshoumaru nearly sighed. He sat down in the corner and waited.
Kagome and Rin had been at the table talking for the last few hours. It was, no doubt, late in the afternoon, now. The sun would start to set in less than a few hours, so AhUn should be there in a few minutes time, at most.
From where Sesshoumaru was sitting, he heard everything. Their conversation wasn't about anything important, just . . . girl talk. As a matter a fact, he wasn't at all interested in what they were saying, until his name was mentioned on a few occasions, but other than that, he was half dozing.
Inuyasha returned not long ago, carrying a large amount of fish, ordering Kagome to cook it. After she refused, he proclaimed that he and Inukinshou would do it themselves. He nearly burned down the hut, not to mention burned a few of his fingers and one of Inukinshou's.
Kagome had gotten on his case then, yelling profusely at him; forcing her son to sit at the table with her and Rin. No doubt, the pup was bored out of his mind, listening to his mother and aunt talk . . . about . . . girl stuff. Every once in a while he'd scrunch up his nose in disgust.
Inuyasha had, of course, gotten mad when he was yelled at and walked outside. He hadn't been back in, since. But of course, he wouldn't be gone long, he never left for too long, Sesshoumaru thought with a groan.

AhUn landed in front of Inuyasha and family's hut with a muted thud. Jaken, growling in his throat and muttering about ungrateful lords, hopped off of the dragon and rushed toward the hut.
He had ridden the arrogant 2-headed beast for half a day, and the stubborn things refused to listen to him, half the time. When he wanted to stop for a break, they refused; when he was ready to go, they were 'tired'. Jaken sighed heavily, as he entered the hut without announcing himself. Why do the Gods hate me so...
"My lord, your ever-so-faithful servant is here!" Yelled the toad Imp, quite proud of himself for getting there in one piece.
Unfortunately for him, Sesshoumaru was sitting in the corner, nearest the door. So when Jaken burst in, with his loud and annoying voice, he happened to yell right in the Inuyoukai's sensitive elvin ears.
Hell momentarily broke loose as Sesshoumaru snarled, baring his fangs. His eyes momentarly flashed crimison and blue as, in one swift motion, he stood and with the half his true strength, kicked the toad back through the flapped-door and out of the hut.
Inukinshou watched the whole scene in complete awe, hoping one day he would be able to immitate his uncle.
No, the toad didn't parish from that well-aimed kick. He was just unconscious for the worse half of his pain, lucky for him. Maybe the gods didn't hate him that much . . .
Not long after the incident with Jaken, did Sesshoumaru announce they were leaving. He had grown very tired of this place, and craved to be in his own domain as soon as possible.
Inukinshou immediately latched onto the two-headed dragons' tail and didn't seem to be letting go anytime soon.
It took them no time load the stuff onto AhUn or to set Rin and Kagome onto the dragons, but that wasn't what was keeping them from leaving.
Inuyasha hadn't returned.
"Damn" Sesshoumaru growled.
