Visiting more strange places

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

"We're all going to have such a wonderful life together!"

Mitsuji didn't really like riding in the car too much either, he curiously stared at the vehicle while Kagome had him in her arms, when the door slid open he got a little nervous, because it reminded him of the elevators.

He got more anxious when Kagome buckled him in a car seat, but he was covered with his special blanket so he calmed down a little.

Kagome smiled at him then walked away, Inuyasha closed the door, he slammed it a little too loud and that caused Mitsuji to start crying.

"Oh Mitsuji, Mitsuji, stop crying shh!"

Mitsuji felt Kagome rubbing her hand against his head while he fussed, he hiccupped and looked up to see her sitting next to him.

"Gmm….?"

"It's ok!"

Mitsuji started to reach for Kagome but she couldn't hold him because that wasn't safe to do in a car.

"Inuyasha…."

"No Kagome don't! What if we get into an accident?"

'Honestly she's like a little girl who can't wait to play with her doll!'

'Who is he? My father? He's been treating me like a child ever since Mitsuji was born!'

Mitsuji started to fuss more, Kagome tried holding onto both of his hands, he got more upset, Inuyasha had about enough and growled at Mitsuji, he silenced, he naturally understood what that meant.

"Inuyasha what did you do?"

"I told him to be quiet, he was getting loud."

Mitsuji was a little afraid of Inuyasha, until he heard a low growl emit from him, he knew he was forgiven then.

Kagome continued to message his head, he got sleepy from the motion of the car, his seat was rocking back and forth like a rocker.

Mitsuji was still asleep after they arrived in front of his new home. Kagome turned to him and sighed.

'Aww he's still sleeping!'

"Oh looks like we got ourselves a little sleepy head there."

Inuyasha said quietly.

'My little sleepy head!'

"Come here my little Mitsuji."

Mitsuji felt himself being moved, he was scared at first but he saw that it was Kagome moving him, he leaned onto her shoulder. Kagome put his pacifier in his mouth incase he felt like crying when he got in the house. Mitsuji was tightly wrapped up in his blanket, he had to poke his head against Kagome's neck to take a look at his surroundings.

He in his very short life had never seen anything so beautiful or big, he reached up towards the ceiling, very interested in the fan, he wanted to touch the couch the most, Kagome bent down and put his hand onto the material, he liked it, it felt so smooth, he made a noise that showed he was happy.

"Mitsuji!"

"Inuyasha what are you doing?"

"Kagome you'd better not eat it all! But look what Maria made."

Maria had a big smile on her face, it got wider when she saw the baby, Kagome looked down at Mitsuji and kissed him.

"Oh that's so sweet you baked a cake!"

It said:

Congratulations Kagome & Welcome home!

"D'eh….Mhmm….."

"Oh he's making noises again! It almost seems like he's going to say something sometimes!"

"Why are we standing around for? I want some of that cake!"

Kagome ran into the kitchen with Mitsuji still in her arms.

"Kagome slow down! And you'd better not eat too much of it!"

"Don't wowy daddy I won't be bad!"

"Kagome…."

Inuyasha said sternly.

"You've been acting like my father for sometime now!"

"I'm worried isn't that what a good husband does?"

"Yeah but aren't you being a little too over protective?"

"Kagome when you've got a pup! There's no such thing as being over protective!"

Inuyasha said while watching Mitsuji play with Kagome's necklace. Kagome stroked the back of his neck.

"Inuyasha…."

Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and messaged his ears. Mitsuji squealed at the expression on Inuyasha's face.

DING DONG

"Who the hell is that?"

Kagome was getting up to answer it, Inuyasha pushed her in a seat.

"You sit down!"

"Daddy's so grumpy!"

Kagome whispered in Mitsuji's ear.

"I HEARD THAT!"

"GOOD!"

Kagome shouted to her satisfaction.

"Hello may I help YOOOOOOOUU!"

"OOFF!"

"KAGOME! WHERE IS HE? WHERE'S THAT DARLING LITTLE BABY?"

'What the hell?'

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, Sango was like that the whole drive here."

"Yeah and what's your excuse, how come your not wild like she is?"

"This is why!"

Underneath Miroku's arms he had several bags of gifts.

"She didn't…."

"Yep every single cent and now I'm broke!"

"Miroku if you want I'll pay you back…."

"No Inuyasha you don't have to….really!"

Miroku's voice sounded a bit strained under all the weight of gifts he was holding.

"Kagome….."

Sango smiled softly when she saw Kagome rocking Mitsuji, she looked up and smiled, Mitsuji stared.

"He's adorable!"

Sango got closer and looked the infant in the eye, she bent down and kissed his nose. Mitsuji sniffed her when she got close, and sneezed, everybody in the room went "Aww!"

"Sango how much did you spend on all this?"

Sango stood up and tapped her chin while trying to remember.

"Hmm let's see, the baby booties were $28, the diapers all together were $36, clothes $138, hmm can't remember the rest except baby toys but I don't remember exactly how much each of them cost but I think it was $300 or so wouldn't you say Miroku?"

Miroku was twitching.

"Hey you alright there Miroku?"

Inuyasha asked.

"Fine Inuyasha just fine!"

"You got Mitsuji some baby booties?"

"Yeah they were so cute I just couldn't resist!"

"Yeah she certainly couldn't alright!"

"What was that Miroku?"

Sango said with a fiery look in her eyes.

"Er….nothing!"

Eventually everyone sat down and ate.

"Kagome told me your pregnant as well."

Sango asked Maria.

"Yes, I am."

"Do you know what it's going to be yet?"

"A boy I believe."

"Oh that'll be sweet, Mitsuji may have a little playmate."

"Waaaaaaaah!"

"Uh oh, what's the matter Mitsuji? Oh Shhh! It's ok!"

Kagome rocked him.

'He must be hungry, I feel wet right now.'

"Uh I'm sorry everybody but you'll have to excuse me, the baby's hungry."

Everybody in the room got it but it took one moment for Miroku to get it, he asked why and he got whacked in the head by Sango.

"Shh, it's ok now! There we go….."

Kagome whispered to Mitsuji as he nursed.

After Mitsuji finished he fell asleep, Kagome took him back downstairs with her, everyone was quieter once they saw the sleeping baby.

Inuyasha took a picture, Sango went crazy with photos, Inuyasha somehow got pulled into some crazy contest as too who took the most and best photos, their idiotic contest woke Mitsuji up and he cried.

'This is stupid! How did I let this crazy person get me into an even crazier contest?'

She ended it by saying "Someone has to cherish and preserve the memories!"

'Yeah as if! I'll do that on my own thank you!'

Inuyasha turned to his wife who was currently occupied in kissing their child.

"How's he doing?"

"Great!"

"Good."

Inuyasha leaned forward to kiss Kagome. Everyone else was occupied with their lives.

"…..So can I Kagome?"

"Kagome?"

"Sango I don't think you want to interrupt…."

"Oh…."

Kagome and Inuyasha were still kissing.

"Oh we're sorry! Now what was it you wanted to ask?"

"Uh….can I hold him?"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each, then Kagome smiled nervously and said sure.

Kagome very slowly handed the still alert Mitsuji, he started to make a little noise but seemed calm. Kagome stood next to Sango by the time he was fully secured in her arms.

"He's much cuter this close! Hey there little guy! I'm your aunt Sango, and that bum over there is your uncle Miroku! Your going to attract so many ladies someday! Just don't lose that cuteness of yours!"

Sango kissed Mitsuji's forehead, and handed him back to Kagome.

'That went well, he looks sleepy again, I should probably put him down for a nap.'

"Inuyasha, I'm going to go lay down with Mitsuji ok?"

"Sure honey."

"We'd probably better be going now anyway, we have to work tomorrow. We'll se ya!"

"Bye Kagome!"

"Bye Miroku and Sango thanks for stopping by!"

"Kagome I'll help you."

"Maria it's fine, I'm ok."

Maria followed her up the stairs anyway.

'Guess I'd better help Kagome.'

He ran up the stairs too. Kagome was changing Mitsuji when he got in the room, Mitsuji was fidgeting , Inuyasha growled again and he was still.

"Inuyasha quit scaring him!"

"I was only doing that so he would behave."

Kagome rolled her eyes.

'Honestly! He's only a baby!'

Kagome thought as she fastened the tabs on Mitsuji's diaper.

"There all done Mitsuji!"

"Here I'll take him."

Kagome went to use the bathroom.

"Sir is there anything I can get you?"

"No Maria and it's Inuyasha ok? Please I don't want to treat you like a servant!"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I've been fine I-Inuyasha…."

"I hope you weren't overworking yourself, this house looks so clean!"

Maria smiled.

"Ok I'm going to ask you something and I want you to answer honestly understand?"

Maria got nervous she hoped she didn't do anything wrong.

"Please tell me you did not go on that roof….by yourself and wax it."

"…….."

"Maria, what were you thinking? Your pregnant and not to far along either, you should stop being so reckless and think about your baby….."

He stopped.

"Maria? Are you ok? Your not crying are you?"

Inuyasha gulped, he didn't like seeing girls cry not to mention Kagome would have his head.

"I-I'm sorry it's just….d-doing work is the only thing that gets m-my mind off of the pain….."

Inuyasha gasped.

"Maria! Are you in pain from your pregnancy?"

"NO! It's him that man!"

Inuyasha got it then, he took Maria in his arms as she wept, Kagome walked in, she knew he wasn't trying to have a moment with Maria, she took her from Inuyasha's arms and traded Mitsuji for Maria and held her while she wept.

"Oh Maria, it's ok, that man can't hurt you anymore….please don't cry, we're here for you…everything's alright now."

"And if I ever see that bastard anywhere near any of you, I'll kick his ass right on the spot, I don't care who's watching!"

"Inuyasha…!"

Kagome knew this wasn't the appropriate time to laugh but she couldn't help it, you could tell Maria was trying to suppress a giggle too.

"Why does everyone think this is funny? I'm serious!"

Inuyasha whined, Kagome patted his ears.

"I know Inuyasha I know!"

"Ok Kagome you can stop treating me like a dog now!"

"You know you like this, you've been trying to deny it for years!"

After a few silent moments of ear rubbing and sobbing, Maria spoke again.

"There is a possibility that he was not the father but it's very small, even if it is his child I'll still love him but I just hope it is someone else's child…."

'What does she mean? She was with another man probably, better not ask now it might upset her.'

"Go rest now Maria, you've had a long day, we all have, I think it's time we all had a good siesta wouldn't you agree?"

"Yes, I suppose I can take a nap."

"Good, have a nice nap."

"You too, all of you."

Maria silently closed the door behind her, Mitsuji was growing drowsy again, he snuggled closer to Kagome's warmth, soon the only sounds that came from him was the sucking sound from the pacifier and his soft breathing.

"I think he's sleeping again, I guess we're lucky it doesn't take much to put him out, but still I enjoy seeing him awake."

"Kagome I just hope one day you don't regret saying that."

Kagome chuckled and hit him with a pillow.

"You! The fool I fell in love with!"

"Hey this fool gave you that!"

Inuyasha pointed his finger at Mitsuji while Kagome sighed happily and leaned on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Your right how silly of me to forget!"

Kagome got up from her spot on the bed and gently placed Mitsuji in his cradle, carefully tucking him away in his blankets, when she was done she gave him a small kiss on the nose and cheek and got back in bed with Inuyasha who gratefully took her back into his arms.

"My Kagome…..my beautiful Kagome…."

"Shh….Inuyasha you might wake Mitsuji."

"He'll be fine besides I missed being with you like this."

"So did I now hush and go to sleep."

"Ok Kagome, 'yawn' I'm so tired all of the sudden I don't know why."

Inuyasha didn't realize that his 'bed' was actually Kagome's body, he had gotten so drowsy that he didn't feel his wife pull him onto her chest and let him rest there while messaging his neck and ears, she pulled him as close to herself as possible while he was snuggling deeper into her chest.

"I love you Inuyasha mwah!"

'He's tries to act tough but once I touch him like this he grows so soft! He's so warm too, both of them are, and he smells good like his daddy!'

Mitsuji lay still in his cradle, pondering in his own sense about how much bigger the world was then he actually imagined, and all the strange sounds smells and sights, Kagome's face for example was a wonderful sight to him, the sound of her voice especially when she would sing to him. One of the feelings he loved most was feeling the warmth of another while tightly wrapped up, Mitsuji loved the feeling a heartbeat and a person's breathing. He also really loved the feel of Kagome smiling against his cheek, Inuyasha he found appeared to be a little frightening at first but then found out how humorous he can be. Mitsuji didn't seem to notice at the moment that Kagome wasn't holding him, the cradle was made of a material that was very similar as to what Kagome felt like, then he was wrapped in a blanket that smelled of her, the point of the cradle was to give an illusion that she was still holding him.

But one thing appeared to be missing, why wasn't she making any sound? Why was everything so quiet? Mitsuji listened closer to the sounds of the room, he heard his father snoring and his mother moaning, this satisfied him, he relaxed more and snuggled into his pillow, that he thought was Kagome's front.

Everyone slept peacefully, there was not a single sound in the house just silence for once….and possible one of the only times….
