"Dude, Where're My Kids?"
Going To Grammy's House!
"Another story, daddy!"
"Yeah, another!"
"Well, all right, just one more." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Inuyasha, it's late. No more stories just send the kids to bed." Kagome called from the other room. Even though most of the houses in the feudal era were one room, Kagome insisted on a four-room house. She said that since she was giving up electricity to be with Inuyasha the least he could do would be to build a nice house for her. There was a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms (one for Inuyasha and Kagome and one for the twins).
"Oh, mommy! Pwease just one more?" Both the twins pouted.
"Kin, Gin, you know the puppy dog pout doesn't work on me, however much it does on Aunt Sango and Uncle Miroku."
"Look at them Kagome! Please, just one more story! How can you resist that?" Inuyasha remarked.
"And daddy." Kagome finished, shaking her head.
"What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha demanded. Kagome shook her head and walked over to the kids.
"Come on, you guys. Time for bed." She held out her arms, taking both children in them. Nodding to Inuyasha, she carried them to their room. Inuyasha followed.
"Do we have to, mommy?" Gin asked innocently.
"Yes, you do." Kagome set them in the double bed they shared. "Remember, we're going to visit Grandma tomorrow."
"Yay! Grammy!" Both the hanyous began jumping on their bed in excitement.
"We still have to visit your mother and that devil of a man?" Inuyasha grumbled. Kagome elbowed him.
"Yes, we have to visit mom, and grandpa, and you're going to like it, right?" She glared menacingly at her husband.
"Uh, right." Inuyasha sweat dropped.
"Good. Now, Kin, Gin, settle down and get to sleep." Kagome tucked the kids in and kissed them both on the forehead.
"G'night squirts." Inuyasha grinned and waved goodnight, following Kagome out of the room.
Kin yawned. "Night night, mommy and daddy."
"Night night…" Gin's voice faded out as she drifted to sleep.
Once out of earshot, Inuyasha stopped in front of Kagome, who bumped into him.
"Do we have to go?" He whined. Kagome glared at him.
"Inuyasha, I haven't seen my mother for a month. Gramps could be sick and I wouldn't even know, and Souta is coming home for a few days from his collage in Kyoto. Of course we have to go!" She turned and walked towards the living room. Inuyasha recovered and followed her.
"Fine, do we have to stay long, though?" He asked.
"I don't care, Inuyasha. I would like to take the kids to one of our parks, though. No one's making you stay." Kagome heaved a sigh and chuckled. "I would really like to see how long you could stay, though. Last time I think it got up to two hours?"
"Don't get me wrong, I like your era. I just can't stand the sounds, smells, and your crazy grandfather trying out all those spells on me!"
"Yeah, I guess I can understand that. I'll tell Gramps to lay off the magic mo-jo for a bit, ok?" Kagome stood on her tiptoes and kissed Inuyasha gently on the lips. He hugged her, and kissed back. Kagome broke away.
"What's wrong, am I not fresh enough for you?"
"No, but imagine what Kin and Gin would say if either one of them caught us doing this in the halls." Kagome smirked and walked into the living room.
"Ah, they ruin everything!" Inuyasha complained.
"Inu, they're our kids. Get used to them bothering us for the next sixteen years at least."
"Life's not fair." He sighed and cuddled close to Kagome.
"I know." She said, putting her head on his shoulder. "Best to just grin and bear it. I'm going to bed. Night." She nodded and walked into their room.
"Ok, Kin come over here and get into your kimono." Kagome called to the boy, who was parading around in his underwear. He obeyed, allowing Kagome to pull his navy blue fire-rat kimono and put it on him. Gin watched, still in her pajamas.
"Your turn, Gin." The little girl bounded over and stood still as Kagome got her orange kimono on as well. Inuyasha had made a point to get fire-rat kimonos for both of his children, so they could be protected from most things. Kagome loved the idea, and immediately ordered him to dye the fire-rat hair navy blue and orange. She loved those two colors, and decided they looked perfect on her children. And the best part about them was that they grew, cleaned, and repaired themselves to fit the kids' lives, so Kagome never had to worry about washing, sewing, or mending them.
"Ok, who's ready to go to Grammy's house?"
"Me me me!" Both children cried.
"Come on, then. Let's get daddy and go!" Kagome moved aside and let them run by her. They ran into the living room and jumped on Inuyasha's shoulders, clinging to his hair.
"Come on, daddy! Let's go see Grammy!" Gin suggested.
"Yeah, daddy!" Kin agreed.
"Ok, kids. Let's go!" Inuyasha positioned the twins on his shoulders and bent down so Kagome could climb on his back. She did so, and he took off in a blur of red.
"Mom, we're here!" Kagome climbed out of the well, and Inuyasha jumped up, harboring the two children.
"Oh, Kagome! I'm in the kitchen, dear." Mrs. Higurashi called from the kitchen.
"Ok." Kagome walked into the room, holding Kin and Gin's hand.
"Grammy!"
"Grammy!" Both children ran over to their grandmother happily.
"Kin, Gin, so nice to see you again!" Mrs. Higurashi enveloped them in a big hug. "Would you like some ramen for lunch? I made some just for you."
"Yay! Ramen!" Both twins shouted at once, jumping up and down. Kagome laughed.
"Ok, mom, where's Sota?"
"Last I saw he was in the living room."
"Thanks." Kagome walked out of the kitchen, leaving her son and daughter in her mother's hands. Inuyasha followed her.
"Sota!" Kagome cried as she ran over to hug the man in front of the TV.
"Kagome! Inuyasha!" Sota grinned. "Looking good, guys."
Kagome smiled and Inuyasha chuckled. "Hey kid."
"I'm not that young anymore, do you have to call me kid?" Sota complained.
"Sorry. Habit."
"So Sota, how's college?" Kagome asked.
"Ulg. Don't remind me. I have to go back in two days, and already I can see the work pile before my eyes." Sota groaned.
"That's what you get for wanting an education." Inuyasha sneered.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome punched him on the shoulder. "I think its great Sota goes to college!"
"Yeah, it's great if you want to waste away fifteen years of your life!"
"He's got a point." Sota nodded at Inuyasha's remark.
"Shut up, Sota. Inuyasha, in this era, and education is very important!"
"I'm sure it is." Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"You're impossible." Kagome growled at her husband before storming out of the room. Sota grinned.
"You know, I had to work for eight years of my life before I could annoy her that much."
"That was fun, mommy!" Kin said as they headed back from the park.
"Yeah, mommy. Why don't we have places like that at home?"
"I'll explain it to you in a few years." Kagome answered. "Are you two ready to go home?" Both children nodded enthusiastically. "Ok, come on. Let's go say good bye to Grammy and Uncle Sota."
"Ok!" Gin and Kin replied. Kagome chuckled and fixed their hats (A/N: Imagine hats like Inuyasha's to hide their ears).
"You're leaving?" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed. "So soon?"
"Sorry, mom. But it's late, and I can tell Inuyasha's ready to go back." Kagome looked behind her mother to see Inuyasha, arms folded, standing impatiently while her grandfather put scroll after sacred scroll on him, all the while shouting, "Demon!"
"Well, all right. Oh, wait a minute." Mrs. Higurashi opened a closet door and took out two wrapped boxes. "Here. Give these to the children when they wake up."
Kagome took the boxes. "What are they?"
"Just a little present for Kin and Gin from Sota and I. I think they'll like it. I hope it fits them…"
"Ok. Thanks, mom." Kagome hugged her mother and Sota before going over to her grandfather. "G'bye gramps. Take care while I'm gone, ok?" She bent down and hugged him.
"Good bye, Kagome." He smiled at her before glaring at Inuyasha.
"Come on, Inu, let's get Kin and Gin home." Kagome walked over to the couch and picked up the sleeping form of Kin. Inuyasha obediently took Gin. "Good bye everyone! Until next time!"
"Later, sis! See ya, Inuyasha!"
"Bye!"
"There you go, Kin." Kagome put her son in his bed, tucking him in safely.
"Night, Gin." Inuyasha did the same for their daughter, who yawned and turned over.
"Sleep tight." Kagome smiled and walked out of the room and into the living room. Inuyasha followed, leaving the two sleeping children in their wake.
"You said your old man would lay off the sacred scroll stuff!" Inuyasha reminded his wife.
"I said I'd ask him too, and he listened."
"Until you and the kids left, then he attacked me!"
"Are you complaining, Inu?"
"No! I don't complain or whine."
"Could have fooled me." Kagome muttered, walking into their room. "I'm going to bed early, I'm exhausted. G'night."
"Yeah yeah." Inuyasha waved and sat in the living room to think. About a half-hour later, both Kin and Gin wandered into the room, rubbing their eyes.
"What's up, squirts?"
"Daddy, we hav'a go potty." Kin mumbled.
"Ok, call if you need anything. I'll be right inside, ok?"
"Kay." Both children walked out of the house to the many trees in the area. They did their business and were about to go back inside when they smelled something.
"Let's go check it out!" Gin suggested, now quite awake.
"Yeah!" They took off towards the smell.
"Smells like… mommy!" Gin decided. Kin thought for a moment, registering the two smells.
"I guess, but there's a different smell too…" He said.
"We won't know unless we check!" They slowed when the smell got strong, and through the bushes they could see a woman.
"That looks like mommy!"
"Maybe, but mommy was back at home. There aren't two mommies, are there?"
"No… Let's go home. Mommy and Daddy will be worried." Kin started to turn around when the lady looked straight at them through the bushes. Both the children froze.
"Come, children. Come out of the bushes where I can see you."
The twins whispered to each other for a minute before emerging through the brush.
"Now, what are your names?" She said pleasantly.
"I'm Gin, and this is Kin." Gin said boldly.
"Well, hello, Kin. Gin. My name is Kikyo."
"Didn't daddy say something about Kikyo? That she was res… ressur… something from mommy, right?" Kin whispered to his sister, who nodded.
"Daddy used to like you, didn't he?" Gin asked.
"Yes, at one time your father did love me. But that's a story for another night." Kikyo chuckled.
"I love stories!" Both twins nodded eagerly.
"Well, why don't you come with me and I'll tell you all the stories you want." Soul collectors suddenly appeared around Kikyo, who climbed on them before motioning for the twins to climb on with her.
"Daddy wouldn't like it."
"Oh, come now. Your father wouldn't know if you came with me for a little bit." Kikyo patted beside her. Kin and Gin exchanged glances before nodding and climbing on. Kikyo's soul collectors flew off into the night sky.
A/N: Ok, there you go! Chapter two is officially up!
