Ok all it's been a few months since I've updated and you all are probably wonder when I'll get around to updating, so here it is. It's not my fault that I've been having a major case of writers block, but it is my fault that I've been spending too much time on yahoo with rping. At least I got around to doing this now. Go ahead and read.
Disclaimer: Like the 47th time out of every single chapter I've written, I don't own Inuyasha, nor any of the characters but I have rights to Serima for she is of my own.
Chapter 31: Worn Out
Later that day; about dusk, Kaede started to get dinner going as Sango, Miroku, Serima and Shippo headed back to see how Inuyasha and Kagome were doing with the babies. The kitsunes rushed into the hut wanting to see the little ones again; while leaving the other two some way behind.
"Hey Kagome." Shippo said as she placed the sleeping infants down next to each other.
"Hey Shippo, do me a favor and don't get too loud, they just fell asleep."
"Oh okay." He and Serima walked over to where they were and looked down at them.
"They're so cute when they're asleep." Serima said.
"Yeah, well lets just have them sleep and go into the main room." Kagome said getting up with some help from Inuyasha. "Thanks Inuyasha."
"Nothing to it."
"Oh okay then." Shippo and Serima said walking out of then room.
"I'll be out there in a moment, you could too Inuyasha."
"Well okay, I guess." Inuyasha walked out.
Once she put some other clothes on, she walked out into the other room to be greeted by Sango and Miroku.
"Hey Kagome." They said.
"Hey Sango, hey Miroku."
"How's it coming with them?" Sango asked.
"Oh fine for now, they're fast asleep."
"Well that's good."
"At least you have some time to rest."
"Yeah at least." She leaned against Inuyasha.
Sango looked around, noticing that her dear brother wasn't in the room. "Does anyone know where Kohaku maybe?" she asked as just about everyone shrugged.
"We've seen him earlier." Shippo and Serima said.
"Oh where at?"
"Um, by the river." Serima said.
"Yeah he was talking to a village girl about his age."
"Really!" Sango, Miroku and Kagome said.
"Yep he was." Both said. "He's always taking to her."
"Could it be that Kohaku is having his first crush?" Miroku said.
"Maybe, but we don't know." Shippo said.
"I wouldn't blame him if he does have a crush. He's roughly 14, right Sango?"
"Well almost." She said a little down. 'I just wish I could of have those few years back with Kohaku that Naraku stole from us…'
"Well it only time for him to, but maybe a little over due." Miroku stated.
"As long as he doesn't turn out like you." She said referring to Miroku as some laughed a little.
At that moment Kohaku walked into the room.
"Speak of the devil…" Inuyasha whispered.
"Awwwww, Sango, how could you say that?" Miroku said kidding while rubbing her butt and kissing her neck.
"Miroku, not right now." She blushed.
"Hey everyone." Kohaku said sitting on the other side of his sister.
"Hey Kohaku." The kitsunes and Kagome said.
"I was about ready to come find you, Kohaku." Sango said.
"Doesn't really look like it."
"So who's this friend that you've been hanging out with lately?" Miroku asked as everyone looked to Kohaku.
"Huh? Oh she's just a friend, but she's really nice."
"That's good." Kagome said.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Just don't try to grow up too fast, okay." Sango said ruffling his hair playfully.
"Don't worry sister."
Kaede scooped stew into several bowls. "Not to interrupt ye, but the food's done."
"Ah, about time!" Inuyasha said as he was impatient to eat.
"Sit, Inuyasha." Kagome said as he went face down to the floor.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Learn your manors and be patient."
"Keh."
"Okay Kaede." Everyone else said as the bowls were passed around. "Thank you."
"Ye are all welcome."
As Inuyasha sat back up, he and Shippo stuffed their faces and everyone else ate at a steady pace.
Once everyone was finished, the guys all slumped against the walls as hey were well satisfied with their fill. Sango, Kagome, and Serima giggled seeing their laziness from eating.
"What's so funny?" they said watching them.
"Nothing." Kagome and Sango said.
"Um…ok." Inuyasha said as the others shrugged.
Both Inuyasha and Kagome's ears twitched, hearing that the pups were starting to stir and were about to wake up. Kagome sighed briefly and got up from her spot. "I'll be back in a little, I've gotta check up on them." She sighed again and walked into the other room, just as they begun crying.
"Was there something I missed today?" Kohaku asked.
"Yes, Kagome finally gave birth to three." Sango said.
"Really, three of them?"
"Yeah." Shippo and Serima said.
"It was the only thing that happened today." Miroku said.
"Kagome, do you need any help?"
"Yes, come and get your son."
"Eh, okay." Inuyasha got up and walked into the room she was in.
"They seem proud right now."
"Yeah, but just wait."
Shortly after, Inuyasha came out holding his boy and Kagome holding the girls. Kagome leaned against the wall for support as she slid down to a sit position on the floor.
Serima jumped up from her spot and walked over to Kagome, looking at the girls. "Could I hold one, Kagome?"
"Sure, just have a seat and I'll let you hold Naomi."
"Okay." Serima sat down beside Kagome as she was given Naomi. 'Just so cute.' She thought as Naomi begun to suck on her thumb and looked up with her dark blue eyes.
"Now isn't that just cute." Sango said.
"Sure is." Miroku agreed.
Shippo got up and went over to look at Serenity. Kagome noticed the look Shippo had on his face. "Could I?"
"Sure Shippo, here." she handed serenity to Shippo once he sat down.
"Thanks Kagome."
Inuyasha let out a yelp as his son pulled on his hair. Everyone directed their attention over to Inuyasha, wondering what happened.
"Did something happen, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.
"Are you ok?" Kagome asked.
"He pulled on my hair!" he said to only get a chorus of laughter from everyone and little giggles from the infants.
"I like him already."
"Hahaha…very funny Shippo." He said sarcastically.
"You have a lot to learn Inuyasha." Kagome said.
"And it is only the beginning." Sango as everyone nodded.
Kagome got up and walked over to Inuyasha. "Here, let me take him for now ok." She held her arms out for him.
"Sure." He gave him to her.
About an hour later, Kagome let out a yawn from being quite exhausted from everything within the day. She leaned against Inuyasha, lightly closing her eyes while the kitsunes were still amused by Serenity and Naomi.
"Well now isn't someone sleepy." Sango said getting several to agree.
"Kagome, do you want to get going?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, lets go." She opened her eyes and got up as well with Inuyasha.
"We should get going too, Miroku." Sango said receiving a nod from him as they also got up.
"Awe already?" Shippo said.
"Yes." She said giving Inuyasha their son back.
"Oh okay." Shippo and Serima said.
"Don't worry it's not like you won't be seeing them again."
"Kagome, do you want any help with one of the girls going up there?"
"Sure Sango. If you could, carry Serenity for me."
"Alright." Sango walked over to the kitsunes as Shippo gave Serenity to her, as Kagome got Naomi from Serima.
"Okay, see ya later." Kagome and Sango said to the kitsunes, Kaede and Kohaku as the four starts leaving.
"Bye."
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku walked out and headed up the hill to where their huts were as Sango yawned a little.
"You too, huh?" Kagome said.
"Yeah, it's just been an exhausting day."
"Defiantly."
They got to Inuyasha and Kagome's hut as Sango gave Serenity to Kagome.
"Well thanks for carrying Serenity for me."
"No problem. Well see you both in the morning."
"Okay goodnight." Kagome said.
"Night." Sango and Miroku walked off to their hut as Kagome and Inuyasha went inside.
Kagome went a head and fed the three babes before she and Inuyasha went to bed.
As morning came, Inuyasha woke up and stretched out, looking to mate and his offsprings. He didn't really get too good of a rest on the account that the pups woke up constantly through the night. He got up quietly and walked out to the front of the hut, just as he caught a swift of a certain demon's scent near by along with a few others, but one was of a young human. 'Damn it! What the hell does he want this time?' He paced back inside to near where Kagome and offsprings laid asleep, and grabbed hold of Tetsusaiga, but accidentally waking Kagome up.
She yawned, raising a hand to her face and rubbing her eyes. She rose up onto her elbow and looked to him. "What's going on Inuyasha?"
"Can't you smell him? He's not far off." He growled.
"I don't know whose scent it is, but there are a couple others as well. I could feel a strong demonic aura though, but tell me who is it?"
"It's…"
Muhahaha, a cliffhanger! I must end it here, so guess all you can on who the demon is. I wouldn't be too surprised if some of you get it right. Well I'm off to making up the next chapter. See all of you later and review! Ja ne, bai bai.
