WOOHOO! 511! (does happy dance) Well...the mistress of all things insane is back! It was my first day of training today! I've just started a course in training to be an Airline Hostess! (Feeling kinda special...out of the hundreds who applied, only 10 of us made it into the course) The facilities are great, we have our own lunch room, and the coolest tap...it has two levers, one for hot, purified water, one for chilled, purified water. The tap looks sooo funny, the actual faucett looks like a snail's head, while the twin levers look like it's eye stalks, so in my moment of insanity I named it Albert. Now if I we want a drink, we say we're going to see Albert.

But anyways, enough about me, ON WITH THE STORY!

Kagome woke as a beam of sunlight hit her face, feeling warm and safe. As she started to sit up, she felt something drag her back down. Inuyasha's arms were wrapped around her waist, while one leg was possessively draped over hers. Pulling the miko back to his chest, Kagome was shocked when he nipped her neck reprovingly, as if she were a disobedient pup. The miko blushed as she settled back down, her back pressed firmly to his chest. The hanyou snuffled at her, inhaling her scent. Once his demon side was satisfied that his mate was still in his arms, he buried his nose in her hair, causing Kagome's blush to deepen.

Kagome found herself snuggling deeper into the hanyou's embrace as she recollected the previous day's events. Inuyasha had returned in time for lunch, immediately sitting down next to her. He sat so close to the miko, their knees kept bumping. Inuyasha had also placed Kyo on his own lap, to prevent him from accidentally harming Kagome's ankle by taking his usual spot, sitting on Kagome.

Once lunch was finished, the miko was stunned by the hanyou's intuition. Not only had he realised that Kyo needed time to play, but that he refused to leave his 'mother's' side, especially now she was injured. Kyo seemed to feel that it was his responsibility to protect her, so Inuyasha had scooped the girl into his arms and carried her outside, placing her on the softest patch of grass he could find, under the shade of a sakura tree, so Kyo could run around and still have Kagome in his sight.

Both hanyous had rough-housed all afternoon, either chasing each other around the clearing, or pouncing on each other as the older hanyou began to teach the pup how to fight, routinely checking on Kagome, before bounding off to tackle each other. Watching them, Kagome found it hard to believe that they weren't related. The way Inuyasha treated Kyo, they may as well have been father and son.

They raced around the clearing until Inuyasha had worn Kyo out completely. Kagome tried to hold in a giggle as Kyo staggered over to her, but half-way there, the older hanyou caught up to him, hoisting him up into his arms before striding over to the miko. Plonking himself down on the grass beside the young woman, the younger hanyou already fast asleep. They stayed to watch the sun set, while Kagome thought about how adorable they looked, both clad in red fire-rat robes, with their long, silvery hair fluttering gently in the afternoon breeze.

The hanyou placed the pup on her lap, before gingerly lifting her up into his arms and carrying her back to Sakura's hut in time for dinner. After dinner, Inuyasha had laid Kyo down on a futon near Kagome's, tucking the bedding securely around his tiny form. Smiling, Kagome leant over and placed a kiss on the amber-eyed hanyou's cheek. "Wha-What was that for?" Inuyasha asked as he felt a steady blush flare across his cheeks. "Nothing," she told him softly, "I just think you're going to be an amazing father one day." Giving him a bright smile before she slipped under her own covers.

He'd surprised her when he'd slipped in beside her, wrapping one arm around her waist. "Not half as amazing as you are," he murmured in her ear, "You're already an incredible mother, to Shippo and Kyo. You don't discriminate against anyone, no matter what they are. Goodnight Kagome." He pulled her closer, "Goodnight Inuyasha," she whispered back, before they both fell into a deep sleep.

Kagome sighed at the memories from the night before, the way he'd held her, telling her that he thought she was a good mum, nothing could interrupt her happiness right now...except for...that. She immediately began to squirm, trying to wriggle out of his grip. She heard him sigh irritably, "Damn it Kagome," he growled, "Stop moving, I'm trying to sleep." With a slight grunt, he pulled her back against him. "I'm sorry Inuyasha," she mumbled, trying to escape the embarrassment steadily spreading over her face, "But I really need to pee." The hanyou grumbled as he slowly rolled off her, still half asleep. Her words finally soaked in as she began to stand, clearing all remanence of sleep as he leapt to his feet and swept her into his arms in one smooth move, before rushing out the door, carting her off to the forest.

He stood on one side of a large tree, while she finished her business on the far side. She hobbled over to a small stream to wash her hands before returning to the slightly frazzled hanyou. "Sorry," she whispered to him. Inuyasha merely 'feh'ed in reply, while standing in his classic pose, leaning against a tree with his arms crossed. "Stay here," he grumbled, "I may as well go too, since I'm out here." He bounded off into the trees, to do his business, but she knew he kept her within his smelling and hearing range the whole time. Suddenly a red blur dashed through the trees, gently sweeping her into his arms as he leapt back to the hut. 'What's got you in such a hurry?" Kagome inquired, as she stared up into Inuyasha's face. He gave her a sexy smirk, with one fang slightly poking out of his mouth. "Breakfast!" he exclaimed happily. Kagome chuckled as she snuggled closer to the bottomless pit she called a hanyou.
