WOW! 851!You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for your sympathetic ears, to Anna Sohma for her little poem, they really brightened my day.

I do have one thing that's really put a dampener on the day though. I just recieved an email from one of my fans. It concerned a story they thought I would be interested in. Imagine my surprise when I started reading...the exact words I had written not too long ago.

That's right...Kyo...this story all of you are reading now...has been plagarised.

Annierayaz (or so they call themselves), has copied my works, word for word, on mediaminer. the worst part of this, was that they weren't even creative enough to change the title. They've named it 'Kyo' and claimed it as their own work. It's posted here http/ all are welcome to send them hatemail. I've already spoken to the web master to remove it.

Anywayz...that's enough whinging...BRING ON THE FLUFF!

When they arrived in Kagome's era, Inuyasha's ears perked to the sound of heavy rain. Exiting the well house, the hanyou made a mad dash for the house, trying to keep Kagome and her pups dry. By the time they raced through the door however, all of them were completely drenched.

Kagome led the boys upstairs to the bathroom. Drawing a hot bath, the miko turned to her three boys. "I want you both to get in, and get cleaned up, and don't you dare hop out until you're warm again," she told Shippo and Kyo before turning to the golden-eyed hanyou, "Inuyasha, I want you to get in with them. Make sure they scrub everywhere. I'll leave a pile of clean clothes by the door. I'll be downstairs mopping up the trail of water we left, so come and get me when you're done."

Inuyasha watched, growling slightly as she closed the door behind her and ran downstairs. The fact that she was wet and cold, while he was about to become nice and warm, didn't sit well with him. The hanyou threw open the door and ran downstairs after her, catching her halfway up the stairs with a pile of clean clothes in her hands. She was startled to find him still in his saturated robes.

"You take first bath," he growled softly at her, "I'm half demon, the cold won't bother me." Glancing at him, she noticed how pale he looked. She shook her head, "Your freezing," she replied, "Anyone can see that. Now hurry up and take these clothes so you can have your bath." Damn it, he'd hoped she hadn't realised that he was chilled to the bone, but he also knew that if he was feeling the cold, she must be too. Taking the clothes from her, his hands glided over her skin. Inuyasha was stunned, she felt like a block of ice. "Fine," he growled harshly, "If you won't take first bath, then you'll just have to share one with us. We'll wear those stupid swimsuits if we have to, but you're getting in that bath one way or another, even if I have to rip your clothes off and throw you in myself."

The hanyou felt his demon side pray for her to refuse, just so he could tear the thin fabric from her body, and scrub her naked form until she warmed up. "The bath isn't big enough," she argued, "We won't all fit." The hanyou grabbed her and pushed her into her room, before following her in. Inuyasha rummaged through her bags, retrieving her swimsuit, the boys' and his own. "Just put it on," he scolded, throwing her small pieces of clothing at her, "I'll sit you on my lap if I have to, but you're coming in. Now get changed, I'll be back in one minute, and then you're going in that bath, whether your naked or not."

He stormed out, thrusting the boys' swimsuits at them and changing into his own. Kagome had only just finished pulling her own swimmers on when, true to his word, Inuyasha stomped in, threw her over one shoulder and stamped his way back to the bathroom, before dropping her into the streaming hot water. Shippo and Kyo, who had been listening the entire time, had to stuff their fists in their mouths to stop from laughing.

The hanyou slipped into the water, sitting himself down at one end, relaxing in the hot water, his arms resting on the sides of the bath. Kagome had a choice of sitting with her back against the taps, or against a very well-defined, naked chest of a golden-eyed hanyou. Inuyasha smirked as he felt her seat herself between his legs before resting against him. His arms left the sides of the bath to wrap themselves around her waist, drawing her closer to him. Once Shippo and Kyo sensed she was comfortable, they leapt in too.

Inuyasha grabbed the soap first and began to wash himself, while still keeping one arm around his miko. Watching the two boys play in the bath, Kagome jumped slightly when she felt a clawed hand gently scrub her back before passing her the soap. Kagome blushed as she revelled in the sensations being caused by his skin touching hers, and found herself wishing they weren't even wearing swimsuits, or sharing with her sons. She passed the soap on to the boys, while Inuyasha's free hand began to stir the water, causing waves of hot water to gently lap over both her and him.

Once they were all clean, and Inuyasha was satisfied with the warmth of Kagome's skin, they climbed out of the bath, and began to wrap themselves in their towels. Kagome dashed off to her own room, while the three boys changed in the bathroom. Once dressed, the miko raced off to mop the floors.

(Ok...these reviews may not make sense...but I promise I will explain them all at the end)

For the next chapter...930 reviews.

Also...if you find someone ripping off other people's work...please alert them...and do what you can to have the fakes removed, because seriously, if they aren't creative enough to think of their own stories...what right do they have to steal others'? I personally don't care if they aren't the best writer...I judgea story on the plot...the thought process behind the works...and I will give a writer complements for their ideas (I understand that writing like J.K.Rowling...while we all aspire to that level...for most of us, is little more then a dream), but your ideas are your own...and I don't think anyone should have the right to steal the ideas you work so hard on and claim them as their own.

May your thoughts and creativity flow,
