HEY! I'm back with a vengance!

My sis is giving me grief again. Mum and Dad won't pay for her to do a medical degree (even though they already paid for her to go to college to become a naturopath...both under- and post-grad) and she's shitty coz they spent over $20,000 for her to do her course and won't pay for another course. They only spent $5,000 for me to do my flight attendant course...so technically I still have more training money up my sleeve if I need it...but My sis wants to use it for herself instead.

Of course the greatest revelation is that now, after years and years of everything being centred around her and her schooling, now I'm the centre of attention, (Everyone wants to know how I'm doing, what I'm learning) and she can't stand it. She wants the spotlight and coz it's focused on me, she's chucking a wobbly.

Oh well...enough ranting...and bring on the fluff! And a big thank you to Leiko no Hatsukoi of rthe brand new Fluff-o-metre 30! It's taken me some time to unwrap it and put it together (Okay...maybe I kinda sat back and made Winry put it together...while Ed alchemised it not to fall apart)...so let's BRING ON THE FLUFF!

Shippo and Kyo woke up early the next morning, rushing up to their mother's bedroom to sniff tentatively under the door. Two tiny faces broke into identical grins as they raced back to the living room and began to dance on the table. "We got a daddy, we got a daddy!" They cried, hooking arms with each other as their tiny feet pounded the wooden surface.

Looking at each other, they remembered the night a couple of weeks before, when Inuyasha was in his human form, and Kagome had taken him on a date. The two boys loved Kagome as their mother, she was kind and gentle, like the tender spring, but they both agreed, Kagome needed a mate. The trouble was, not just anyone would do for their mother.

Kagome was one of a kind, and needed someone to understand and love that about her. As a powerful miko, she would have her enemies, so she'd need someone strong enough to take on anyone who tried to hurt her, but caring and gentle enough to wipe away her tears. Which brought them to Inuyasha.

Shippo may never admit to it, but he had always regarded the arrogant hanyou as his father, while Kyo had taken an immediate liking to him. That was probably just because of the ears. Inuyasha may be rude and abrasive, but his friends knew that inside beats the tender, blushing heart of a puppy, but more specifically, that his heart beats for Kagome.

That night, Shippo and Kyo had made a pact. They would do everything in their power to make sure Inuyasha took Kagome as his mate. They had seen Inuyasha moping around while Kagome was off with her friends, his black combat boots tapping irritatingly against the ground as he sat by the Goshinboku.

Taking matters into their own hands, both boys staged a loud conversation about being bored and missing their mummy before racing off down the street. A certain grumpy hanyou was soon tearing after them. They dodged all his attempts to grab them, knowing that the thought seeing Kagome meant his attempts were rather half-hearted, and pounced on her lap.

Smiling, they sat at opposite ends of the coffee table. "Mission accomplished," they told each other with a nod of their heads. They had heard the banging and moaning happening in the rooms above them, but they hadn't smelt any difference. The scent wafting from under Kagome's door, however, was a different story. She was now, well and truly, an inu hanyou's mate. She smelled too much like Inuyasha not to be.

The two pups' eyes widened as the front door opened, and three people walked in. Mrs Higurashi, her father and Sota greeted the two young boys, taking them into the kitchen for breakfast. Once they reached the kitchen, though, Mrs Higurashi dropped the two boys in her arms.

On the counter sat two massive stacks of pancakes, drenched in maple syrup and ice-cream. The fridge door was open, blocking the person ransacking the fridge from view, apart from two puppy ears just peaking over the top. Finally finding the orange juice, Inuyasha walked back to the pancakes, closing the door behind and giving the five people in the kitchen a very good look at the naked hanyou's firm bottom.

Shippo and Kyo realised that the pancakes were for Kagome and him. Every male demon knew how to provide for their woman. A newly mated male would rarely stray too far, in case another demon decided to take advantage of their woman, especially considering how tired and un-resisting newly mated females could be. Newly mated males could be rather enthusiastic with their mates, leaving them with very little energy to fight off attackers.

The only time a new mate would leave his woman's side, was in the pursuit of food and water, and sometimes not even then. The next few days, Inuyasha would stay as close to Kagome as possible, making sure his scent permeated her skin, leaving a permanent imprint, and a warning of death to any over-zealous males seeking her affections.

Kagome's grandpa was the first to come to his senses, pasting sutras over the unsuspecting hanyou's groin as he cried, "Demon Begone!" Inuyasha looked down, he knew the old man's sutras never worked, but he still felt the indignation of him trying to blast off his 'little yasha'. Raising his fist, he bopped the senile old coot on the head, before walking back to the fridge to put the orange juice back and grab a punnet of strawberries, grumbling to himself, these sutras would take a while to peel off, and the glue would really hurt.

Mrs Higurashi stared in shock as she watched the hanyou walk back to the fridge, giving her a very good look at his demonhood. Picking up the strawberries, he realised the old man wasn't the only one in the room. Inuyasha raised his head, only to come face to face with Kagome's mother. Ah oh, he was in for it now.

He gulped as the woman made her way over to him. Closing his eyes, he waited for the beating, only to be pulled into a warm hug. "It's about time you two got it together," she wept into his naked chest, "Congratulations, and welcome to the family. I think Dad, Sota, Shippo and Kyo will join me for a vacation. Maybe a week by the beach." Bundling the two pups into her arms, she walked out the door, putting them in the car before returning to collect her father and Sota. "And Inuyasha," she called over her shoulder, "I want to know I have grandkids on the way when I return."

Inuyasha smirked to himself, so she wanted him to make her some pups huh? Now that was something he was only to happy to do. Cutting up the strawberries, he placed them on top of his creation. All he had to do now was wait for his mate to wake up.

The hanyou slipped into her room, balancing a tray laden with the breakfast feast he'd made. Putting the tray down on her desk, he glanced over to the woman still fast asleep under the covers. A true smile crossed his lips as he gazed upon her face. Her hair was messy, the lower part of her body was covered in his and her own sticky mess, his mate mark adorning her shoulder, and his scent covering her entire body.

He bent down and claimed her lips, gently coaxing her to wake up. "Mmmm," she moaned softly as her eyes fluttered open, "Good morning to you too." He bent down for another kiss, this time with more passion. "I made breakfast," he told her, pointing to her desk, "I thought you might be hungry."

Kagome's eyes widened as she looked at her desk. She'd never seen so much food in her life. "Thank you," she told him, "By the way, is my family home?" Inuyasha shook his head as he helped her to sit up. Shifting one plate of pancakes over to her bedside table, he used the fork to take a small amount. Inuyasha brought the morsal to his mate's mouth, which she accepted. "Your family's gone to the beach for a week. Something about leaving us with the house and her wanting grandkids."

The miko nodded mutely, before realising the hanyou was naked. Her eyes wandered to the sutras still stuck to him. She knew that his demon blood made him larger then a mortal, she'd felt how well-endowed he was last night, but she'd yet to hear of a demon who covered themselves in sutras. She groaned, "Gramps saw you didn't he?" she asked, dreading the answer. The hanyou nodded sullenly, "So did your mother," he told her, "One of the reasons I think she was so enthusiastic to ask for grandkids. Oh, your brother and the pups saw too."

"You mean," She asked, "That everyone in my family has seen you naked?" Inuyasha nodded, "And they were okay with it?" He nodded once more. "Well," she sighed, "What's done is done. Now let's have breakfast, and then you can have a shower. The water will make them come off easier." Inuyasha nodded, bringing the rest of the feast over to her, when an idea popped into his head.

"Kagome," he told her, "I want to use my last two favours." She nodded to let him know she was listening. "Since your family is out of the house for the week," he replied, "I want to use a favour to make this week 'mating season'." His demon and human side rejoiced at how he was going to spend his favours. "It also means that you're not allowed to go to sleep without me inside you. For my last favour, you aren't allowed to wear a single thing during our 'mating season'."

Kagome's eyes widened, since when did she have such a horny mate? "Inuyasha," she replied, as calmly as possible, "It's November, and almost winter. If I don't cover myself, I'll freeze." Inuyasha smiled as he brought her into his warm embrace, "You can cover yourself with my body," he told her, "Or a blanket and we'll turn the air conditioner on hot and move our bed to the front room."

Finishing off the meal, Kagome couldn't believe how hungry she'd been. Inuyasha must've taken a lot out of her. Still, if it meant receiving feasts like this, she didn't mind at all. "Come on," she told her hanyou, "Let's get these stupid ofuda's off you." Inuyasha nuzzled her neck, knowing she must be feeling slightly sore. "Only if you join me in the bath," he told her, "It'll help ease the soreness Koishii." Kagome faced her loving hanyou, giving him an inquiring glare. "Inuyasha," she sighed, "I don't think my body can handle your enthusiasm right now." Inuyasha gave her a tender kiss. "I know Koishii," he whispered, "I don't want to cause you any un-necessary pain. We'll just soak this time, but just because your body's sore doesn't mean I can't make you feel pleasure." They relaxed in the hot water, his hands wandering the top half of her body, but never reaching any lower then her hips.

I hope you enjoyed this one...I have to say...I felt rather inspired when my muse gave me an image of a naked hanyou butt prancing around the kitchen.

For the next chapter...1820 reviews (I kinda made a bet with a friend that I couldn't make it...and I'm really counting on you guys to help me with this...so...pretty please with Inuyasha and Kyo pulling puppy eyes?)

May your thoughts and creativity flow,
