"Those Baby Sitting Blues"
By: Robin Maxwell
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, or anything really, so it'd be a waste to sue me.
Anyway, I usually write Gundam Wing and Yu Yu Hakusho stories, so I thought I'd give Inuyasha a try, cause the show is freaking awesome. OK, in my little world here, Kagome and the everyone else are just regular humans. No demons or anything like that, at least not right now. Do you understand? OK, on with the story than.
Chapter one
Movies, Popcorn, and Make Out Sessions
Kagome picked Rin up and took her up to room. She was trying to save the girl from hearing her parents yell at each other, again.
Kagome had been baby sitting for Inuyasha and his family for the past two years, and she loved all of them, except for his wife; Kikyou. She was almost never home, and she either came home drunk or tired. She hardly spent time with her kids, and Kagome didn't trust her when she was alone with them.
Rin started to play with her toys when her younger brother, Shippo woke up from his nap.
"Kagome", he called.
"I'm right here Shippo. Are you ready to get up?"
He nodded his head and his light brown bangs fell into his eyes. She brushed them out and he put his arms out for her. She picked him up from the bottom bunk of their bed and held him for a few minutes, before he wanted to go play with Rin.
Inuyasha walked in then and Shippo ran to him and gave him a big hug on his leg. He bent down and picked him up.
"How's my little man doing", he asked playfully as Shippo squeezed his neck lovingly.
"Daddy, where's Mommy?"
Inuyasha's lip twitched at that, but he answered him quickly as not to make Kagome suspicious, "She went to the store."
"Oh, is she getting me a present for my birthday?"
Shippo was about to turn five in a few days, and he was always asking about birthday presents.
"I don't know. Do you Kagome", he looked at her, and she knew how to play along. They always did this.
"I don't know either, but I do remember her saying something about going to the movies."
Shippo's eyes brightened up and he squirmed in Inuyasha's arms. He put him down and Shippo ran over to Kagome and pulled on her pants.
"Oooh, are you coming too?"
She bent down and said, "Of course."
"Yeah! You hear that Rin, I get to go to the movies for my birthday!"
"Yeah, we get to go to the movies."
They both started to ramble on about which movie they were going to go see when Kagome noticed Inuyasha staring at her.
"Thanks", he mouthed to her.
She smiled at him and than looked at her watch.
"I have to go you guys. I'll see you tomorrow. Love ya", she said as she hugged Shippo and Rin.
"Love ya too", they said back.
She walked past Inuyasha and he playfully punched her in the arm.
"Ow, Shippo, Rin, Daddy hit me", she said jokingly.
They both attacked Inuyasha and started to wrestle him.
"I'll get you for that Kagome", he said.
"Sure you will", she said as she ran out of the room saying bye.
They all yelled bye back and than went back to playing.
Kagome laughed lightly as she walked over to her house next door. Her mother was sitting in the living room folding some clothes, while dinner was cooking.
"Hey Mom."
"Hey sweetie. Kouga just called."
"Thanks."
Kagome ran to her room and grabbed her phone. She dialed his number and than walked around pulling out a different shirt.
"Hello."
"Hi babe", she said.
"Kagome, can you still go to the movies tonight with me, Miroku, and Sango?"
"Yeah. When's the movie?"
"At seven."
"K, I'll see you than."
"All right, see ya sweetie."
"Bye", she said, and than hung up the phone.
It was already five, and she still needed to do her home work.
"Joy", she muttered as she went to go get her book bag.

"Hey baby", Kouga said as he hugged Kagome and kissed her lightly.
"Where's Sango and Miroku?"
"They're already inside saving us seats."
"OK, come on let's go."
They went in and got some popcorn since Kouga had already gotten the tickets, like a good boyfriend should.
They went into the theater and saw Sango and Miroku making out in the back. They decided to surprise them, so they each walked up a different side. When they got close, Kagome threw some popcorn at them as Kouga pretended to be Miroku's mother and yelled at them.
They both squealed and jumped out of their seats.
"Kagome! Kouga, you're gonna pay for that", Sango yelled.
She started to chase them around the empty theater as Miroku just stood there and watched them.
"Uh... guys, can we not get kicked out of this theater too", he called out to them.
No use.

After Kagome and Kouga got soda poured on them, they went to their seats to actually watch the movie.
It ended up sucking, so they just messed with each other, meaning Sango and Miroku went back to making out while Kagome and Kouga started kissing as well.
During the make out session, Miroku's hand wondered up Sango's shirt, and everyone was interrupted by a roaring slap. Kagome and Kouga looked at her, and saw that her face was red, but not as red as Miroku's cheek.
"What'd you do?"
"Nothing", he said innocently.
"Nothing my ass", Sango yelled at him.
"Did you go for the boobs again, Miroku", Kouga asked.
Miroku grinned and Kouga looked away shaking his head.

The movie ended, and they all left. Sango had gotten over the little trick he pulled, since she was already use to them. Who wouldn't be?
"Bye you guys", Kagome and Kouga said to the couple as they left.
"You need a ride home?"
"Yeah", Kagome said.
They headed over to his car and got in. When they pulled up to her house, he walked her to her door and kissed her good night.
Kagome started to giggle when they said good bye to each other, and than she went inside.
"Hey pumpkin, how was the movie", Kagome's mother asked her.
"It was fine, but I'm tired."
Her mother gave her a questioning look, when her father came in.
"Naraku, I think it's time we gave Kagome the "Talk."
He looked at his wife suspiciously and she grinned.
"Oh yes, I do think we should. How old are you now, twelve, thirteen?"
"I'm seventeen, and I don't need the "Talk."
Kagome rushed out of there before her parents could say anything else. When the door to her room closed, Naraku and Kagura started to laugh.
"That's why I love you", he said as he bent down and pecked her on the cheek.
"One reason."

The next day, Kagome went over to Inuyasha's for lunch. When she got there, they were all crowded around the T.V. Or at least, everyone except for Kikyou.
"Hey guys."
"Kagome", Shippo and Rin said in unison as they jumped up and ran over to her to give her a big hug.
"Can't breath", she joked.
They laughed and than let go of her.
"So, Inuyasha, what's for lunch?"
He didn't answer her right away, and she could tell that something was wrong.
"Uh... I guess, hot dogs."
"Is something wrong?"
He looked at her, and she could see that his eyes were red and tired looking.
"We need to talk", he said as he grabbed her hand and led her to the extra bed room down stairs.
After he closed the door, he looked at her and said, "Kikyou wants a divorce."
"Oh, Inuyasha", she said as she walked over and gave him a hug.
He didn't want her to feel sorry for him, so he put on a face and said, "I knew it would happen this way. At least I get to stay here with the kids, while she moves out."
"Is there anything I can do", she asked, as she held back a few tears. She had to be strong, if not for herself, than at least for him.
"Just... be there for them. I haven't told them yet."
She let him go and shook her head, while trying to smile.
"Don't worry, I'll always be there, for all of you. You'll see, everything will be fine."
He smiled lightly down at her and thanked her.
"No sweat, now I'll go make some hot dogs for lunch. You just relax, OK?"
He nodded his head and walked out the door with her.
"Oooh, I'm telling mommy", Shippo teased.
"What", Kagome and Inuyasha asked at the same time.
"I'm telling mommy that you and Kagome were kissing, ohhhhhh."
"Shippo, I'll kill you. We didn't do anything", Kagome said, as she started to chase him around.
Inuyasha just stared at them, and noticed for the first time, how Kagome was more like a mother to them, than Kikyou ever was.
