OK, I sure as heck don't own the song in here. And i don't know who does, so please don't sue. Anyway, sorry for it being so late, but i had writer's block. Well, here you go, sorry it isn't that good. But, it will get better later on.

Love, Robin

Chapter Two

A Good Mother

"Daddy, where's momma going?"

Inuyasha looked down at Rin and picked her up.

"She's going away for awhile. She'll be back soon to see you and Shippo."

Kagome looked from Inuyasha and Rin to Kikyo getting into the car. Shippo was in her arms when the car started and he began to wave to her.

She didn't even look at him. The car pulled out of the driveway and Shippo jumped down from Kagome's arms and started running after her.

"Mommy", he cried.

She didn't look back.

Kagome ran over to Shippo and picked him back up and took him inside with Rin and Inuyasha.

"It's OK, Shippo. You'll see her soon", she said uncertainly.

'I don't know if you'll ever see her again, baby. But, I'll always be there for you', she thought to herself.

The next few weeks were hard on everyone, especially Inuyasha. He tried to act happy, but it just came out with him looking miserable and faking laughs every time somebody tried to cheer him up.

Kagome walked through the door and saw Rin and Shippo just laying in front of the T.V., like they had been doing for the past two weeks. Inuyasha was just staring off into space and she saw that the house was a mess. She mentally growled in frustration at this, but decided to do something about it.

"Everybody up, this house is a mess and you're getting flies in the house. Rin, turn the T.V. off, and I want all of you to get dressed. You too, Inuyasha."

They all looked at her and then Rin turned off the T.V.

"What are we doing, Kags?"

"Well, school is about to start and you guys need some school supplies and new clothes. And, the house needs some cleaning, so cleaning supplies as well. Now, go get dressed. All of you", she looked at Inuyasha with a glare that dared him to challenge her.

Rin and Shippo went upstairs and got dressed as Inuyasha just sat there, staring at her. Staring contest!

"Fine", he said.

"Stubborn woman", he said as he walked by her and lightly punched her in the arm.

'Good, things are finally going back to normal.'

She went to the kitchen and looked around to see if they needed anything.

"Oh, can I get a new skirt", Rin asked as they walked through the little girls section.

Kagome nodded and Rin jumped in the air with a yay.

Shippo was with Inuyasha, as he picked out a few things for school. Kagome and Inuyasha had argued earlier about her paying for some things, but she wasn't going to listen to him. She was just going to buy them a few clothes and shoes, since she had missed a few birthdays and Christmas's with them.

They had been at the store for over an hour, when they finally went to the grocery store. Kagome and Inuyasha picked out a few things, as Rin rode in the cart. Shippo was tired, so Kagome held him while Inuyahsa played with Rin in the cart.

"Go faster, Daddy", she yelled as they sped down the aile. Inuyahsa came to a stop as an old woman turned around the corner.

"Sorry", he said. Kagome was with them in a second.

"Awe, what cute children you two have", she said as she smiled down at Rin, and then walked away.

"But...", Kagome wasn't heard.

Inuyasha just looked at her as she began to blush and then walk away.

"I'll go get the milk", she said.

Inuyasha watched after her, finding it hard to look away. He finally did, and than said to himself, 'She's gonna be a great mom someday.'

"All right, I'll put Shippo down for his nap. Could you go ahead and start dinner?"

"Yeah", Inuyasha answered as he started putting groceries away. Rin started to help, and then Kagome came back down and helped as well.

"What's for dinner", Rin asked.

"Lasagna."

"Yeah!"

"We need to clean this place up, Inuyasha. It's a mess."

"Yeah, I know. I'll pay ya if you help."

"I'll help, but no paying. I won't take it."

"Why not?"

"Because, I just won't. So get over it."

He stuck his tongue out at her, and she did the same. Then he stuck his middle finger up at her, and she did the same, making sure Rin didn't see.

"Move, I gotta clean the table", he said as he pushed her out of the way. His voice was playful, and he was grinning.

'So good to have you back, Inuyasha.'

XXXXX

After dinner was over, everyone sat around the television and watched a movie.

"Oh, I love Mean Girls."

"Yep, me too. Lindsay Lohan is so pretty", Rin said.

Kagome made some popcorn and then fell down on the couch beside Inuyasha and everyone else. Rin climbed into her lap as Shippo crawled all over Inuyasha, until he was comfortable.

They all watched the movie, until the kids fell asleep.

XXXXX

"Will you help me put them to bed", Inuyasha asked, as both of them had fallen asleep on them.

"Sure."

They took them both upstairs, and put them into bed. When they were about to leave, Shippo said, "I want my blanket."

Kagome stayed with them while Inuyasha went to go get it.

"Kags, can you sing a song", Rin asked, as she woke up as well.

"Only if you go to sleep."

"We will", they both said.

Kagome smiled as she began to sing,

"Hush little baby, don't say a word

Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird,

And if that mocking bird won't sing,

Momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring,

And if that diamond ring won't shine,

Momma's gonna buy you a looking glass,

And if that looking glass should break,

Momma's gonna buy you a pair of skates,

And if those pair of skates should lose a wheel,

Momma's gonna buy you a rocking horse."

She continued to sing the song as Inuyahsa stood by the door, listening to her sing. She had a loverly voice, and she always sang to them, or told them stories. She really was good to them.

When she was done singing, she kissed them each good night, and then turned around to see Inuyasha in the door way.

He just looked at her for a few moments before he walked into the room and gave Shippo his blanket. He kissed them good night, and then left the room with Kagome.

"How long had you been standing there?"

"Not very long."

She play hit him and he hit her back.

"You know, you really will make a great mom someday", he said seriously.

She was quiet before he said something.

"Good night, Kagome."

He smiled at her, and then went to his own room.

She finally came to her senses and said, "Good night", and then left their house, locking the door behind her.
