ZZ; so damn tired... I have a lot of phone crap to deal with.

Chapter 17

- Previously -

"Miko…" Sesshomaru called out.
"I want to take a picture of you with your armor and katanas." Kagome stated while looking at him.
He mentally sighed, "hai."

Sesshomaru placed the katanas at his side and placed his armor on as well as his mokomoko. Kagome took a picture and smiled happily then placed it aside, when she looked up to see him stand in front of her more closely. She blushed and took a step back to get some space.

"Well… I guess-" The miko was cut off.
"Kagome," Sesshomaru said sternly.
She looked at him confusedly. "W-what didn't you just say?"

The taiyoukai gave her a small kiss which soon turned into a passionate one. Kagome arms wrapped around his neck and he placed her against the wall. Their kisses were always slow and moving, like time could go as fast as it wanted, but the time they shared together was an eternity. After a while, Kagome released him and they stopped by her demands.

"What did you call me?" Kagome asked again.
He leaned over and kissed her forehead and whispered, "Aishiteimas, Kagome."
"…" Her eyes widened and looked at him.
"We will be again," Sesshomaru turned swiftly and left.

- Now -

Six months more had passed since the birth of the quadruplets and Kagome was completely exhausted. The kabus would cry and it sometimes drove her insane. Every now and then, she would ask her okasan to take a shift job on watching them, and Rei didn't mind. Kagome even walked to school to pick up Souta sometimes so she could get out of the house, and that's just what she was doing now.

"Nee-chan, nee-chan," he rushed over, "how are my nieces doing?" Souta asked happily. (I was going to type 'niece' in Japanese, but I think there's enough Jap.)
"Hai, okasan is watching them for me, so I decided to pick you up." Kagome smiled happily.
"Arigato nee-chan, but you know I walk home by myself right?"
"I need to stretch out every now and then," she bent down, "come on, get on my back and I'll carry you."

Souta smiled and took the offer of riding on Kagome's back and she began to walk home. Kagome laughed and talked to her little kyodai, asking him want happened at school and he answered her. They heard voices from behind and they looked to surprisingly see the three girls.

"Konnichiwa Kagome-chan, Souta-chan," Eri waved.
"Shouldn't you guys be in school?" Kagome asked.
"This week in nothing but exams, we get out at noon." Yuka smiled.
"Wow, already?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah, hey, where's that one guy; Sesshomaru?" Ayumi asked curiously.
"He… had to leave…," the miko looked away, "there's something very important that Sesshomaru has to do."

"Nee-chan, have they seen Hidemi and the others?" Souta asked curiously, hoping that they didn't forget about him.
"Iie, Hidemi doesn't like strangers so much, remember?" Kagome reminded him.
"Um… what about Sato…?"
"I just got her to take a nap."
"Chikako?"
"She's upset right now."
"Kichi?"
"Why do you want them to come over? Even Inuyasha doesn't know about them?" Kagome glared.
"I don't know…" Souta laughed.

"Kagome… is the reason you haven't been at school so much, was because you were pregnant? Did you have a baby?" Ayumi asked curiously.
The miko blushed, "four."
"FOUR!" The three yelled.
"Itte… I HAVE A HEAD ACHE ARIGATO!" Kagome groaned.

"Nee-chan, why can't they see them?" Souta asked softly.
"Their only half ningen," Kagome whispered.
"Kagome-chan, can we see them?" Eri frowned.
"…" She looked away, 'I wouldn't mind some help from Sesshomaru right about now'
"Onegai," Yuka pleaded.
"We'll be good." Ayumi smiled.
"Fine… but you have to keep your voices down when we there or else they'll have a fit."

Sesshomaru halted in some a grassy field and looked in the direction of the well for a moment, and then continued walking forth, searching for any scent of Naraku. At his side was no other than his ward and retainer, followed by the ryu youkai whom they recently decided to bring back so that he could protect Rin. (Yay, its Aun!)

Sango sighed tiredly walked outside the hut to get a little fresh air since she hadn't been out all that much. Inuyasha was again sulking and brooding that he couldn't go see Kagome, but would sneak of to go see the clay pot wench; Kikyou. An ushi mooing was heard, and Sango looked up to see Totosai landing at her side.

"So where's that big bad inu at eh?" Totosai looked around.
"Totosai…" Sango said in surprise and Miroku walked out.
"He said to come here with these darn things, and he ain't even here!" He huffed.
"H-he told me to take them; what ever they are." She stated.
"Nani?" Miroku looked at her curiously.
"Works for me, you're a companion of Kagome's," the old geezer tossed her four bracelets, "now remember, they all go on the kabus right wrist."
"Why is there four?"
"She's having four hanyous." Totosai stated.

"So… Sesshomaru-sama wasn't lying…" She whispered to herself.
"Nope, each of the bracelets received four fangs, and as requested by Kagome-sama, I had the bracelets different colors." Totosai stated proudly.
"That's great, I'm sure Kagome-sama will like them." Sango smiled.
"So when will she get back?" He asked curiously.
"I don't know…"

"Em, Sa, Chi, Ki, kasan's home." Kagome said softly as she placed Souta down.
"Kasan!" A little voice spoke in a mumbling yell. (Okasan without the 'o')
She laughed and shook her head, "Chikako…" she looked at the others, "come on, but remember to keep it down."
"Kay." They whispered.
"Kasan!" Chikako cried out again, whining at the top of the stairs crawling.
"Chi-chan, you know better then that," Kagome sighed and walked up the stairs with the others behind her and picked her up.

Chikako hugged her okasan happily and her inu ears twitched when she heard whispers. The little hanyou looked at the three girls and ears leaned back against her head then buried her face against Kagome's chest. Kagome giggled and stroked her child's back softly.

"This is Chikako, she's a little shy." Kagome smiled.
"Aww, so kawaii," Yuka said sweetly.
"Hi little one," Ayumi giggled.
"Are those ears real?" Eri reached out to touch them.
Kagome moved Chikako away a little, "hai; their real. Don't touch them or else they'd all go into a fit.

The miko placed her down and Chikako stood on her feet while clinging to her okasan's leg tightly. They all walked into Kagome's room and three more kabu's clung to her legs and she laughed. She bent down and opened her arms to them.

"Who wants a hug?" Kagome smiled.
"HAI!" The four yelled and gave her a big hug.
"Did you guys take a nap?" She asked them.
"Only Sato," Rei stated.
The miko looked at them, "nap time."
"Iie" the four whined.

She placed them in the crib and they all lied down and passed out quickly. The three friends' came over and smiled at how cute they all were. Kagome pointed to each kabu and said their names.

"Their so kawaii," Eri squealed softly.
"Yeah, as long as they aren't teething, then they are." Kagome laughed lightly.
"What's this?" Ayumi picked up a rubber toy.
"Don't-!"

SQUEAK!

The four kabus instantly got up and their expressions were all different. Hidemi gave off a kabu pissed off face at the visitors; just like her otousan would. Sato's ears twitched in the direction where she heard the toy come from. Chikako was confused and looked around back and forth.

Kichi looked tired, and wanted to go back to sleep, so cried loudly. Kagome sighed and picked her up and cradled the kabu in her arms to calm her down. Looking at the three, she was sure that she knew what to do.

"I'm pretty sure that it's time to take your leave." Kagome stated sternly while nuzzling against Kichi's cheek.

Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka nodded at her decision and left quickly without a word. Soon, the miko made Kichi settle down, and placed her in the crib with the others. Unfortunately for Kagome, they all climbed out and clung to her legs.

"Wakatta, how about we go somewhere?" Kagome asked them.
"Hai!" They cheered.
"Okay, kasan will go and pack up some stuff for us."
"Yay!"

"Well, I don't recon' I can stay long, where Inutaisho's pup at?" Totosai asked curiously while looking around.
"He's inside the hut right now; Inuyasha's kind of worried about Kagome-chan." Sango stated.
"Don't see why he's worried, she's just fine." The old geezer youkai stated while smiling in that goofy way.
"How would know if she's fine, she hasn't been here in so long!" She yelled at him angrily and Miroku placed his hand on her shoulder to keep her calm.
"Well why don't you turn around and take a look behind you." He simply replied and pointed behind her.

Sango whipped around immediately and saw an onna with little one's clinging to her while. Tears began to develop in the taijiya's eyes and started running at her full throttle. The miko saw what was coming and placed her two bags down and told the four to back away for a minute.

"KAAAAGOOOOMEEEE!" Sango yelled happily.

Kagome looked up and was tackled to the ground in a big hug and she laughed. The four kabus thought it looked fun so they crawled over onto Sango and their okasan to then 'tackle' them. Miroku and Totosai came walking over while the two onnas calmed down but the kabus crawled all over Kagome.

"It's good to see you looking well Kagome-sama." Miroku smiled happily, while sitting next to Sango on the ground.
"Hontou?" Kagome asked sarcastically once Sato messed her hair up.
"These can't be the taiyoukai's kabus, they seem too nice!" Totosai stated as he sat down.

"Oh don't be fooled; Hidemi is just like him, she already mastered the cold look." She laughed. "Besides, he left when they were about two weeks old, so it's only natural that they would influence by me."

"Aww, so kawaii," Sango smiled and picked up one of the kabus.
"That's Chikako, she's really shy." Kagome laughed. "Oh, what ever you guys do, onegai, don't touch their ears."
"Who's this one?" Miroku picked one of the kabus up with a smile.
"That's Hidemi, I suggest you put her down before-"

CHOMP!

"Itte!" Miroku put Hidemi down and rubbed his non-cursed hand. "That hurt you little kabu."
"Gomen Miroku-sama, she doesn't like strangers much; she has to get used to you," Kagome laughed.
"This one's under a lot of your influence," Totosai stated while a kabu started to crawl to him curiously as he watched.
The miko shook her head and called out to the kabu, "Kichi, come here sweetie."

Kichi stopped crawling to Totosai and immediately began crawling over to 'mommy' then lied down in her lap. Hidemi stumbled a little, but came over to her okasan and climbed on her back to sit on her shoulder to be away from them. Kagome sighed and tapped Hidemi's nose, telling her to stop being stubborn.

"That's so kawaii," Sango smiled and then handed her the bracelets, "here you go Kagome."
"Oh, these are for the kabus youkai side?" Kagome asked Totosai.
"Yup, put it on their right wrist though." Totosai stated.
"Okay, though I don't see the reason for it to be on the right…" she shrugged, "Em, Sa, Chi, Ki."

The four were instant all in her lap looking at her happily, knowing that she was going to give them something. Kagome gave the four of them a bracelet at a time. Hidemi's was light blue, Sato's was light purple, Chikako's was light green, Kichi's was light red, and all four of them were so happy that they hugged their okasan tightly.

"Arigato!" The four squealed.
"Dou-itashimashite," Kagome smiled.
"So what are we going to tell Inuyasha?" Miroku asked curiously.
"We'll have Inuyasha think they're his kabus; they already know who their real one is by scent and face..."
"What about Shippo?" Sango asked curiously.
"He'll have to think their Inuyasha's kabus too."

Inuyasha was sound asleep, dreaming about a miko, hoping that she will return soon or ever again. When he went to Kikyou, she always said that she wasn't going to back, and that he should go to hell with her. The hanyou was so confused, and pretty much believed her when she said those words. He didn't know what to do, so he ran away.

"Oi, wake up," a voice said softly.
"Mmmm…" Inuyasha groaned.
"Wake up…" they said again.
"…" he ignored.
"Osuwari…"

WHAM!

The hanyou cracked his eyes open and saw Kagome standing up with her hand on her hips. Inuyasha immediately jumped up and looked at her, hoping she was real. Touching her face, he found smooth as it always was, and smiled.

"Did you leave because you had to lost weight?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Osuwari," she glared.

WHAM!

Giggles among giggles entered his inu hanyou ears and he looked up a little to see four kabus standing behind Kagome's legs while clinging to them as they looked at her. Inuyasha sat up painfully and looked at them confusedly. Since the hell was their little hanyous running about in the village.

"Hai Inuyasha, I 'lost weight,' and these were why I was so 'fat' baka." Kagome glared at him annoyed as Miroku, Sango, and Kirara entered the hut.
"T-these kabus are yours?" Inuyasha asked in a dumbfounded manner.
"Hai, I was pregnant with four." She stated.
He stood up baffled and looked at her, "t-they can't be…"
"I don't see why not, you're the one who fucked me." Kagome said with some attitude. (She's saying this to convince him they're his.)

"Y-you wanted me to fuck you! It wasn't my fault!" Inuyasha roared in disbelief of the kabus.
"Look, Hidemi and Sato have your fathers' markings, and they don't look like ningens or even part ookami to me." She stated.
"These can't… these can't be mine!"
"Oh, like got on top of myself and got me pregnant?"
"…" Inuyasha knew she was right. (He thinks that he was Kagome's first.)

"Kagome-chan, shouldn't you be careful with your words? I mean… with the kabus listening and all," Sango informed softly.
"H-hai, they don't need any 'bad influencing' from anyone." Miroku backed her up.
"Gomen, you're right," Kagome eased up with sigh.
"Feh, we've waited, what, six months for you to come back, and THIS is how you return!" Inuyasha growled.
"Well gomen nasi you damn jackass! OSUWARI!"

WWWWHHHHAAAAMMMM!

Miroku cringed, "that's got to hurt."
Sango sighed, "yeah… but… he really did deserve it."
"Why don't you just let Kikyou take my place then huh? You've probably been seeing her while I was gone!" Kagome glared.
"IIE!" Inuyasha replied from the floor.
"Hai," Miroku and Sango said in unison.
"OOOOSUUUUWAAAARIIII!" The miko yelled furiously.

WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!

"Teme…" Inuyasha whined against the flooring.
Kagome looked at Sango, "can you show me where the hut is? My head is starting to hurt, I haven't taken my medicine."
"Hai," Sango got up and they started to leave together but Kagome stopped and looked at the male hanyou.
"Since I'm sure you want to find your precious shards to become a youkai, why don't you have your precious Kikyou to go with you. After all, you were so worried about me that you went to her." Kagome stated and left.
"M-matte! I have to come too! You don't know how to unlock the incantation!" Miroku made an excuse and left Inuyasha all alone.

Hmm... what's in chapter 18? -Thinks- Umm... OH! Oh shit... trouble... If I rememeber well... Sesshomaru is VERY pissed off too.
