Hey! Me again! I promise...and boy do I deliver.
Without further ado...LET THE FLUFF-A-THON BEGIN!
Inuyasha woke up to find that Kagome was missing, but he could smell the heavenly scent of pancakes, and by the looks of the two pups, so could they. Racing downstairs, the three boys dashed into the kitchen to find Kagome, singing to herself as she flipped pancakes. Turning to place the cooked pancakes on a plate, she realised the room was no longer empty. Taking four plates, she loaded them with stacks of pancakes, before smothering them in maple syrup and ice-cream and handing them to the boys.
Kagome had barely started on her own when she was greeted with three empty plates, as three sets of big, watery eyes pleaded for more. Sighing softly to herself she pointed to the kitchen bench, where enough for four helping each lay waiting, as well as the bottle of syrup and the tub of ice-cream. "I'm going out today," she told them as they loaded their plates, "I'm going to catch up with a few of my friends, so I won't be back until the afternoon, but then it's back to the feudal era. You boys have fun today," she told them as she dumped her plate in the sink and walked out the front door.
Kagome sighed as she followed Yuka, Eri and Ayumi into Wacdonalds for lunch. While she was in the feudal era, Kagome wished she could catch up with family and friends, now she was with her friends, she couldn't get Inuyasha off her mind. They'd spent the whole morning discussing the Halloween party while they were shopping. They decided to take a seat and go up to the counter as soon as they could feel their feet again.
Spotting Hojo, Eri and Yuka decided to call him over, in a bid to get Kagome to go on a date with him. Praying for a distraction as Hojo now sat at their table, Kagome could hardly believe her ears she two familiar voices screamed her name. Turning around, Kagome managed to brace herself in time for the two small boys launching themselves into her arms. Staring down at the two small forms in her arms, she smiled as she saw how cute they looked in baggy jeans and T-shirts, both sporting baseball caps. Kyo's to cover his ears, Shippo just to look like his brother. Their smiles were caught short when two clawed hands grabbed them both. "Gotcha. Now come here u little runts."
Turning, Kagome's jaw dropped. Inuyasha was wearing baggy, black-and-grey, army print cargo pants, a black tank top which was slightly loose, and a black bandana to hide his ears. "Sorry Kagome," He told her sheepishly, "They got away from me. I guess they just missed you too much." Kagome smiled as she took Kyo and Shippo from his arms, setting them down on her lap. Turning to her friends Kagome smiled, "This is Shippo," she told them, pointing to the boy in the blue shirt, "And Kyo," indicating the one in purple, "My sons, and this," tugging on Inuyasha's shirt, "Is Inuyasha."
The larger hanyou could've laughed openly at the gaping faces. "Your sons?" they cried in unison. Kagome's smile faded slightly, "Well, both of them lost their parents," she explained, "And they were just so cute, I couldn't bear to leave them." All four nodded slowly, they knew of Kagome's big heart. "Well," Eri replied, "Since this Inu-whatsit is here, you can give them to him and go on a date with Hojo. You still have to make up for all the times you stood him up." Kagome stood up, "It's InuYASHA," she told them harshly, "And you know what, I think I'm going to go have lunch with my family, then leave with my family, and if your so enthusiastic about Hojo going on a date with someone, why don't you go out with him Eri?"
Setting both pups down, she grabbed Kyo's and Inuyasha's hands while Inuyasha grabbed on to Shippo's and led them over to a vacant booth. Once they were seated, Kagome stalked over to the counter, determinedly avoiding her friends' glances, bought the food and walked back to the three demon boys. As soon as they had eaten, Kagome stood, signalling the boys to follow, as she walked out.
"You didn't have to do that," Inuyasha told her quietly, "I could've taken the boys back home." Kagome smiled, "It's okay," she replied, "I was actually kind of hoping for a reason not to go anywhere with Hojo, and all the time I was with my friends, I was wishing I was with you three anyway." Inuyasha smirked, inwardly thanking the pups for sneaking out of the house after their mother. "So," Inuyasha asked, "Are we heading back to the feudal era now?" Kagome shook her head, "Nope," she replied, "There's a fair in town, and there' no one I'd rather go with then you three."
The four spent the rest of the afternoon, and well into the night, riding various rides, eating cotton candy and hotdogs. Inuyasha won everybody a prize in sideshow alley with his hanyou abilities. Kyo had been given a small, soft toy puppy, while Shippo had been given a fox plushie. Taking one look at their own toys, both gave their plushie to the other. Inuyasha had won Kagome a massive stuffed toy husky. Remembering Shippo's cartoons of her and Inuyasha as a dog and a cat, Kagome handed her toy to Inuyasha and grabbed a shotgun. Lining up the shot, she won him a large cat plushie.
Inuyasha and the pups sat on the sidelines, cheering Kagome on as she competed in an archery tournament. None of them were surprised when she walked up to them holding the first place trophy. Checking her watch, Kagome lead them to a wide, open field. They lay on the grass, and watched the stars for a few moments, before tons of fireworks flew into the sky. The three boys sat enthralled as explosions of colour lit the sky. Watching the final starburst of colour hesitantly fade, they stood up and marched home, crawling into bed and falling asleep instantly. Kyo cuddling a fox plushie, Shippo, a dog plushie, Kagome snuggled up against Inuyasha, while her arms wrapped around her sons, Inuyasha's arms encircling Kagome, and a large, stuffed cat and dog, sitting side by side at the end of the bed.
I just love the whole 'family' over friends thing, and besides, if ur friends were trying to make you dump Inu-puppy for Hojo, you'd take family over them too.
I have to admit, I did have a bit of drool hanging off my chin for this chappy. Inu in black-and-grey army camoflage pants, a black tank, black bandana and a pair of big, dumb combat boots...I mean seriously...who wouldn't be drooling? (especially if you're the one he's standing next to)
