Sorry I waited to update. My computer was litterally in an almost unfixable state for a couple of days.

Chapter 48: The Mall

Mrs. Higurashi(A/N: I'm sorry I have to use a false name for her this chapter, but I can't just keep saying Mrs. H, while she's talking to Soshi), also known as Akira, sat across from Soshi in the living room. There was some tension between them as everyone slept. It was around eleven at night. It wasn't really late so neither of them were tired.

The two decided it was best that they talked.

"So how have things been?" Soshi asked Akira. Akira looked up at him with her normal smile, but this time it was only a half smile.

"Um... they've been fine, a little complicated lately, but otherwise good, you?"

"Pretty much the same I guess. So how has Sota been doing? I presume he's doing good in sk-ool?" Soshi couldn't really pronounce the word.

"Yes, Sota's doing great in school." Akira stated. This conversation was going no where fast. She decided to talk about more interesting things. "It's hard to believe Kagome has already grown to be a woman and a fine mother at such a young age."

"Kagome has the perfect instincts to be a mother, especially since she is a half dog demon. One of their purposes is to be a good mate and mother."

"Purposes?" She wasn't so sure she liked the assumption.

"It doesn't mean she has to do it, it just means that they are original brought up that way. Kagome has a will of her own and can do as she pleases."

"What about Inuyasha? What do you think of him?"

"At first there were some past difficulties, but I can see is a good mate for Kagome. He's very protective of her and I can tell they love one another. He will make a fine dominate male and father to his pups."

"Yes, he does seem like a pretty good father. He doesn't neglect them and he doesn't panic whenever something goes wrong. He's calm and in control."

Soon there was a distant crying. Akira could only lightly here it, but Soshi had his demon hearing.

"Looks like they're awake." Soshi commented.

Meanwhile

Kagome rolled from Inuyasha's tight grasp and removed herself from the bed, making her way to her mother's room where the twins slept. She cried lightly for their mother and father.

Kagome knew exactly what was wrong. They didn't like sleeping in the unfamiliar place that smelt so strange. She came up with an idea. She knew Inuyasha's and her scent comforted them so she would put the crib in her room, which was filled with Kagome's scent. She grinned. 'So Inuyasha's thinks he can sleep while I do this?'

She left the twins to go and get Inuyasha. To her surprise her was already up sitting on the bed.

"You're up?" Kagome questioned.

"Of course I'm up. You think I could sleep through that?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome should have known, even the little things wake Inuyasha up, he was an extremely light sleeper.

"Well I need your help."

"With what?"

"You have to bring the crib in here. I don't think they like sleeping in a room that smells like my mom and not us." Kagome stated sleepily, she yawned.

"Yeah, yeah. Go to bed and I'll do it." Inuyasha noticed she was tired and got up to do it himself. Kagome nodded and snuggled under the covers.

Inuyasha walked over to Akira's room and looked down into the crib.

"You just had to start in the middle of the night, huh?" Inuyasha asked, knowing they didn't understand. He picked up the crib carefully with the twins in it. They suddenly stopped crying and put on confused looked as the crib moved.

The crib fit through the door perfectly. Akira's door was bigger than a normal door. Inuyasha moved the crib down the hallway and found a problem at Kagome's door. The crib was a little to big to get through. So Inuyasha put the crib down and carried the babies in and than came back out and folded the crib to fit it through the door.

Soon the babies were back in the crib and asleep. Inuyasha stumbled over to the bed and plopped down on it waking Kagome.

"So I was right?" Kagome asked.

"You're always right, wench." Inuyasha mumbled. He removed the top of his top haori feeling the warmth in the room has raised a little. He put it on the dresser with Kagome's alarm clock. Then he snuggled up against Kagome once more and pulled her into him.

Meanwhile/ Later

Akira and Soshi had been talking late into the night about past events and important things. Akira had made her way over to Soshi at one point to comfort him over something. She ended up leaning her head on his shoulder and that's how they fell asleep on the couch.

Kagome and Inuyasha made their way down stairs for the morning and noticed the two sleeping on the couch. Kagome smiled, Inuyasha just shrugged it off and headed towards the kitchen for some food.

When Inuyasha noticed Kagome didn't follow him he walked into the living room where Kagome was staring at her parents and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and picked her up and brought her to the kitchen like that.

"Hey what are you doing Inuyasha?" Kagome complained. Inuyasha put her down.

"You're eating this morning." He ordered. "I don't care if you're hungry or not." Inuyasha walked over to the cabinet and took out some ramen and started making it. Kagome was surprised he remember where everything was and he also remembered how to make ramen on a normal stove.

She recalled the first time she taught him, he complained for a week about burning his finger, which really wasn't like him. She knew he only wanted to be babied than.

"I'll eat later." Kagome said ready to leave the kitchen. She didn't know why, but she hadn't been hungry lately. It was probably because she wasn't using up much energy on anything. Things had been lazy lately.

As she walked out ready to leave the kitchen she heard the familiar growl of an irritated hanyou. She turned to face him.

"No," He said plainly. "Not this again. Damn it, Kagome, You're going to starve yourself!"

"Inuyasha if I was starving I'd eat, but I'm just not..." Kagome was cut off when Inuyasha started pushing her towards the table and handed her a bowl of ramen. He than stood with his arms crossed waiting for her to eat. "Sit boy."

THUMP

Inuyasha went face first into the tile floor. He hadn't expected that. Kagome hadn't sat him since the twins were born. He was beginning to wonder of she ever planned on taking them off.

"What the hell did you do that for!" Inuyasha yelled as soon as the spell wore off and he was up and standing again. Kagome thought it over for a moment and realized Inuyasha was only worried about her. She was just being cranky.

"Sorry about that." She smiled. "I'll eat okay?"

"Feh." Inuyasha watched Kagome eat her breakfast before plopping down and eating his own.

Soon the others were all up and having their own breakfast. Kagome fed the twins. She brought them downstairs to the table where everyone was eating.

"Are you going to go back to the feudal era today sis?" Sota asked.

"Actually I was hoping I could get some supplies for the twins from the mall before I headed back. It that alright?" Kagome turned to Soshi and her mother.

"Yeah, stay as long as you need." Soshi said. He didn't mind staying longer. He liked getting to talk with Akira and learning about what's been going on. Heck he wondered if the old flame still burned and she still wanted to be with him, maybe they could marry and officially become mates like Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Great. I'm going to take Inuyasha and the twins. Sota, you want to come?" Kagome asked.

"Can I mom, please?" Sota begged Akira. She smiled brightly.

"Sure thing, just hurry back." She replied. "Are you going to take the car, Kagome?"

"If it's alright with you."

"Of course it is." Akira said. (A/N: Lets just say Kagome got her license when she turned sixteen, or she at least got her permit.)

Later

They arrived at the mall. It was huge, like most malls. Kagome got the twins out of their car seats and Inuyasha got out from the passenger side. Sota was seated in between the twins.

Inuyasha was wearing modern clothing. I navy blue hat, a white T-shirt that fit him perfectly and showed his muscles, and a pair of baggy jeans. Kagome made him where a pair a all white Reebok Classic Amaze Zing Casual shoes. Kagome found him quite attractive like that. She wore a forest green sweater, with a beige, tight skirt, which she could wear now that her form was back to normal. Curvy and skinny. She wore a pair of green Eskimo boots. She would normally were saddles, but she knew she'd be doing a lot of walking around and didn't want her feet to her. Her hair was also up in a pony tail. Sota wore the usual. (A/N: You know the clothes he wears in like every episode.) The twins wore haori's like Inuyasha's normal one, except Umi's was white and Uchuu's was green. When Kagome got their strollers she got them little shoes. They both wore mini white Nike's. The twins of course had to where mini hats because of their ears. Their hats matched their clothing.

At first it was complicated to get Inuyasha into the car, he thought it was some kind of demon that stunk. Kagome had ended up coaxing him into it. On the way she explained to him exactly what a mall was and what to expect there.

Kagome bought a double stroller for twins in the first store. She had burrowed plenty of money from her mom and still had plenty to spare.

Inuyasha was freaked out when they came in there. All the smells annoyed his nose and the crying of the twins proved it hurt theirs too. Eventually all three hanyou's calmed down. For some reason Kagome didn't have all the special abilities of a half dog demon and either did her brother, she wasn't sure why, but that's just how things were.

Once the twins were seated in their stroller they began their journey through the mall. Sota walked to Kagome's left, Inuyasha to her right, and she wheeled the twins.

"How long are we going to be here anyway, Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.

"As long as it takes." Kagome replied.

"As long as what takes?"

"For me to get what we need." Kagome said not once looking in Inuyasha's direction. Inuyasha huffed in annoyance as she didn't face him. He wondered if she was mad at him. Little did he know...

Kagome wouldn't look at Inuyasha because there was just something about him that was making her have a strange urge. (A/N: We all know spring is mating season right, well Kagome is half dog demon so she gets the urges too. The only reason she didn't get them until now is because she is fully matured and stuff. It's spring in the story by the way.) It would only take one look at him for her arousal to jump and Inuyasha would smell it. 'God help me.' Kagome thought nervously.

Inuyasha was getting more ticked off by the second as Kagome wouldn't spare him a single glance.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Yeah?" Still she didn't look. Inuyasha didn't know what to say.

"Will you look at me god damn it?" Inuyasha growled.

"I'm busy." Kagome said. Inuyasha's growl escalated. "Quiet down before you make a scene." The next thing Kagome knew she was stopped in her place and Inuyasha turned her abruptly around and stared at her angrily. 'Oh my god!' Kagome thought. 'I think I'm going crazy... his anger is turning me on!' Kagome's arousal spiked, much to Inuyasha's notice and his face went from angry to confused. He wondered what was wrong with her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine Inuyasha." Kagome smiled brightly and removed his hands from her and turned back around. "I'm just not feeling good."

"We should go than." He said.

"No, really I'm fine." Kagome continued walking. It was nothing to make a big deal out of. She only had to wait till they got home and calm herself down by resting or something. She figured she was just sick.

"Kagome!" Four voices called. Kagome stopped and looked to where they were coming from. Her eyes went wide as she saw Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, and Hojo coming her way.

Well what do you think. I always think the urge thing is kind of comical. It's not like I'm so pervert, because I'm surely not.
