Last time:
"May I come as well?" Sesshoumaru asked after a few moments of silence. Kagome looked at him, startled.
"Why?" she asked.
"I'm interested to see the future. If my brother can see it, why can't I?"
"Um, maybe another time, Sesshoumaru. There'll be tons of little kids at my house and I'm not sure how I would explain you. My mom already knows about Inuyasha, so it's not a big deal for him to come. Stay here. Trust me." Sesshoumaru pouted. Shippou jumped up into his chest, clutching onto his kimono.
"Don't feel bad, I can never go either. We can stay here and play." he said.
Now:
When they all got back to the village, Kagome said her good-byes and dragged Inuyasha towards the well. Sesshoumaru followed Sango and Miroku into the hut. Shippou ran off after Kagome and Inuyasha. He sat down across from them while Sango explained the situation to Kaede. He stared into the flames and thought about what Kagome had said. A lot of kids, huh? Sure, he didn't remember whether he had or not, but he must've dealt with children at some point. He stood up and started leaving. "Where are you going?" Sango asked. He froze.
"Um.nowhere." he answered. 'Smooth. Real smooth.' He followed Inuyasha's and Kagome's scents to the well. Shippou was sitting on the side of it, peering down into it with a wistful expression. He looked up, startled, when Sesshoumaru stood beside him. "So, do you want to go to the future, Shippou?" A big grin split Shippou's face.
"Yeah!" Shippou launched himself at Sesshoumaru. "I think we need a jewel shard though." Sesshoumaru pulled a small shard from his kimono.
"There was two jewels in the snake demon. I kept one of them to see what importance they have." A smirk appeared on Sesshoumaru's face. He jumped up and fell down the well. Blue lights surrounded him and Shippou. When he hit the ground, he looked up. There was a rook over his head.
"Why would they put a roof over the well?" Sesshoumaru shrugged and leapt out of the well. As soon as he did, various unknown smells assaulted his nose. The noise of this time was deafening. Shippou wasn't faring much better. He clamped his tiny hands over his ears. "This is the future? I don't think I like it very much." Sesshoumaru walked out the door. He caught Kagome's scent again and followed it to a house. He pressed a button that was on the side of the door. It made a terrible ringing noise. It screeched in his ears, making them ring. To his surprise, the door popped open and there stood Kagome. Her eyes widened in shock, then turned quickly to anger.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" she screamed. This didn't help his ears any. Shippou whimpered, burying his head in Sesshoumaru's chest. "Shippou?" She took the kit from his arms. "You are such a bad influence." Her mothering instincts were certainly kicking in. Mrs. Higurashi walked up beside her daughter.
"Kagome, are these more friends of yours?" she asked. Kagome's hand flew to her head and rubbed circles on her temples. She could feel a migraine coming on. Inuyasha wasn't helping much either. She heard him yelp again and the kids giggle.
"LET GO OF MY EARS, YOU MONSTERS!" he yelled. Shippou snickered. Kagome sighed.
"Come on, I got to go save Inuyasha. Yes, Mom, this is Sesshoumaru and Shippou."
"They don't have ears." Mrs. Higurashi said, sounding a little disappointed. "Oh, but look at their tails." She petted each of their tails. Shippou sighed contentedly and jumped into her arms.
"I like your mom, Kagome." Shippou said. Mrs. Higurashi awed and carried Shippou inside.
"She is so going to spoil him." Kagome muttered, dragging Sesshoumaru inside. She shut the door behind them. "One rule, no killing the kids."
"Why would I do that?" Sesshoumaru asked as she led him into the living room. His ears were immediately assaulted by screeches and yells. He winced and tried his best to not show how much it hurt. The only thing that comforted him was that his brother was in worse condition. He had kids hanging from his arms and clutching onto his legs. He tried to walk to the door, but all of them weighed him down a little. Kagome and Sesshoumaru couldn't help but laugh at him. Souta was perched on Inuyasha's shoulders, pulling on his ears. Inuyasha growled at them.
"Go get him. He has a tail. AND CANDY!" Inuyasha yelled on inspiration. The kids yelled happily and jumped at him.
"Oh, no!" Sesshoumaru yelled as the kids tackled him. A few of them sat on his chest while others yanked at his tail.
"Where's the candy?" "What is this?" "Is it your tail?" "Why do you have a tail?" "Can I have it?" the kids asked. His eyes whirled frantically to each kid, then landed on Kagome. He gave her the most pleading look he could. She giggled. His eyes looked at Inuyasha, who was smirking, entirely pleased with himself. Oh the hanyou was going to pay, and pay dearly. Sesshoumaru pushed himself up off the floor. Some of the kids hung on, but most fell off and re-attached themselves to his legs. He struggled towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha started to look a little worried. Souta gave another tug on Inuyasha's ears.
"I know that look. Kagome gives it to me when I take something of hers." he said. Revenge was the only way to describe the look in Sesshoumaru's eyes. The youkai prince leaped at Inuyasha. The kids screamed, either happy or scared.
"Get back here!" Sesshoumaru yelled as Inuyasha ran away. Kagome jumped on Sesshoumaru's back as he ran past. The kids let go of Sesshoumaru and followed them outside. It was the older siblings versus the younger siblings in a battle of the titans. Sesshoumaru would leap at Inuyasha, tackling him to the ground. Inuyasha would nab Souta out of mid air and start running again, before launching his own attack. He would grab Sesshoumaru tail and yank on the end. Sesshoumaru would yelp and spin around. Kagome would every once in awhile grab a lock of Inuyasha's hair or pinch Souta's arm. Souta would fling insults at Kagome and threaten blackmail. Mrs. Higurashi came out and watched the antics along with all of Souta's friends. She would wince when Souta would yell and when Kagome would screech. She practically screamed when she saw Souta fly through the air. Once she realized nothing was going to happen to her children, she started really enjoying it. By the time they stopped running around, the audience was rolling on the ground with laughter. The four dueling titans lay in a circle on the ground, smiles on their faces, totally out of breath.
"That.was.fun" Kagome panted.
"The best.birthday.ever." Souta agreed. Shippou came bounding up to them.
"Are you guys okay?" he asked. Inuyasha grabbed him and tossed him into the air. Shippou yelled as he came back down into Inuyasha's arms.
"Just.great." Inuyasha answered. He couldn't remember ever having so much fun. Sesshoumaru on the other hand, was happy enough to be making new memories. This one would certainly something to look back on and laugh about. The other kids ran over and sat around them.
"That was so cool!" one of them said. The rest nodded their agreement. Soon, Mrs. Higurashi ushered the kids inside for cake and presents. She left Kagome, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Shippou outside. She figured they could use a little break. Especially the demons.
"Upsie daisy." Kagome said as she sat up. She shifted around so she was sitting cross legged facing the others. Shippou crawled up in her lap.
"Hey, Kagome, what is the dairy thing Souta was yelling about?" Shippou asked.
"N-nothing important, Shippou." Kagome stuttered. Now the other two were interested.
"It sounded pretty important to me." Inuyasha said. Sesshoumaru nodded his agreement. Kagome looked between them all. Oh boy, and they said curiosity killed the cat. What in the heck would happen to a dog then?

Soli: I'll most likely have Mir/San if Sess/Kag wins. Unless people want her with Inu. But, it'll probably be Mir/San.
Midnight-fire: I'm trying to do at least one a day for as long as I can. *crosses fingers* I hope that's awhile. And blue bunny definitely has all our thanks.
Anyanka: Rin and Jaken will be here eventually. I have plans for the little toad. *evil grin*
Sunflowerseed: She did. In a way. ^_^
