Mitsuji the live demonstration

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

"Inuyasha look at that, he slept through the whole thing!"

"What now? You want to wake him?"

"Oh Inuyasha would you really rather he slept all the time?"

"No, but you will, babies like him can really pack a punch in their scream!"

"Inuyasha!"

Mitsuji heard both of his parents voices surrounding him and he liked it that way, he turned a little in his sleep, the sounds stopped for a moment because they both thought he had woken him up, but he seemed to like them there talking.

"Inuyasha I think he likes it when we talk."

"Well of course he does, all pups do."

Kagome chuckled a little and picked her baby up while gently bouncing him up and down in her arms. Mitsuji noticed the transfer, he now could hear her voice grow louder and he felt the surface he laid on grow softer, he knew that he was in her arms now, the sound of her heart beat and smell showed no mistake.

Mitsuji had the urge to reach for her, he extended his tiny hand from underneath the blankets and stretched his fingers while searching for a part of Kagome's body he could touch, until his hand rested on her chest, Kagome took his tiny hand and messaged it with her finger.

"Inuyasha, I think he needs another feeding."

"Yeah I think so too, I can smell the flow of your milk."

"I'll cook you something ok? Come down stairs, here take the blanket with you."

"Ok my Inu-smochie poo!"

"I told you not to call me that!"

'I hate my name sometimes, so many ways to make fun of it!'

Inuyasha cooked up a meal while Kagome sat on the couch nursing Mitsuji he was at peace for now. When he was done Kagome placed his pacifier back into his mouth, he sighed and leaned onto Kagome's chest feeling very relaxed, he liked watching his surroundings even if he didn't understand what was happening or being said.

"Inuyasha I think he's happy."

"What makes you say that Kagome?"

The two were discussing a few things while eating, Mitsuji was still awake in Kagome's lap.

"Look at him! He always appears content and relaxed."

"I suppose your right."

Inuyasha said while peering at Mitsuji.

"Your going to start teaching your classes again in a few weeks aren't you?"

"Yes Inuyasha, and for those Lamaze classes Mitsuji will be the perfect demonstration for the class."

"I don't know about this Kagome, he might not like being surrounded by so many unfamiliar things and scents. Don't you think we should wait?"

"Inuyasha he'll be fine."

"First thing's first, when is it?"

"Next week."

"Next week? Already? And your planning on taking Mitsuji aren't you?"

"Yes. I don't see why not he seems like he'll be fit enough to go someplace then, don't worry Inuyasha I won't hurt him.

'I'm not really worried about you hurting him but his reaction towards that strange world outside this house.'

"Yeah but still, it's natural for a parent to be nervous about their baby."

"I know Inuyasha I'll be nervous too, but it will also test if he's truly comfortable around people."

Inuyasha didn't respond he looked down at Mitsuji again, he did look peaceful just laying in Kagome's arms, then he felt Kagome place her hand on his.

"Don't worry Inuyasha, I'll be careful."

"Ok…"

Kagome giggled quietly then leaned forward and gave Inuyasha a good long kiss on the lips, both were breathless by the time they finished.

Mitsuji gurgled at their actions, Kagome and Inuyasha smiled at him and both kissed him on the head and lips.

"I'd better go check on the food."

"Ok."

Inuyasha walked out of the room leaving Kagome and Mitsuji alone.

"Dada."

Mitsuji lay silently in her lap wondering what she was trying to tell him.

"Dada, can you say dada?"

Kagome grabbed a picture of Inuyasha and pointed to his face while repeating the word. Mitsuji began to understand and made a squeal showing he understood.

Kagome's whole face lit up and she squeezed her baby in a hug.

"Dinner's ready Kagome!"

Kagome enjoyed a pot of stew and steak. Mitsuji watched as both of his parents gobbled down the food, he wondered how 'dada' could possibly fit so many things inside of him at once while he noticed his mother was eating a lot slower then he was. Mitsuji was in his baby seat, Kagome was gently rocking the seat back and forth while using her other hand to eat.

After they had finished eating he watched them clean the table up and wash the dishes which to him looked fun and started to reach for his mama who was putting them in the dish washer, Kagome gave him a quick smile then turned around, Inuyasha took him in the living room then took him out of his baby seat and rocked him gently in his arms while he watched the news, this was the first time Mitsuji experienced the wonders of television, so many colors lights and sounds flashing quickly before him, too much for his young mind to comprehend at one time he began to get a headache and leaned further into Inuyasha from discomfort.

"Aww what's the mattew? Baby scared?"

Kagome said in a childish tone.

Mitsuji turned to see his mama stretching her arms out to hold him, he gratefully latched onto his mother and gripped her shirt while babbling silently.

After awhile Kagome decided to put Mitsuji to bed.

"Ok time to go night-night!"

Mitsuji was placed onto Kagome's shoulders he let his head slide to her neck, Kagome was patting his back while trying to get him sleepy.

"Good night dada!"

Kagome shouted to Inuyasha, who rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Ok sweetie let's get you changed."

Mitsuji laid patiently on the changing table while Kagome rummaged through the drawers looking for his things, while she was looking her wedding ring slipped off her finger and fell into the toilet she didn't seem to notice but Mitsuji saw what happened and wished he could tell her because as soon as she saw it missing she looked like she wanted to cry and started searching in all the places she had touched until Mitsuji made a noise and gestured his hand towards the toilet, Kagome looked down and saw it then sweat dropped, she wasn't exactly fond of sticking her hands in toilets.

She put it in her portable germ cleanser but washed it through before hand, then tended to Mitsuji.

"Now where are your pajamas?"

'I can't find anything today hopefully next I won't lose something that actually matters!'

She had a day dream of what it would be like if she lost Mitsuji and shuddered at the very thought of it.

Mitsuji found it very interesting how many expressions crossed his mama's face.

Kagome had washed her hands and decided to wash Mitsuji's pacifier, she took it out of his mouth and before he could start crying she tickled his chin, he looked at her the whole time.

"What? What Is it my little Mitsuji?"

Kagome said playfully, he was still looking at her with an open mouth, Kagome began to make faces, she stopped when she heard a sound come from Mitsuji she had not yet heard or seen…..he was laughing.

"Was that funny? Was it?"

Kagome said while nuzzling his nose. After Mitsuji's giggling episode Kagome picked him up and rocked him to sleep and quietly closed the door behind her, feeling so warm and fuzzy inside that she had made her child happy.

The room was dim with light Kagome yawned and decided she might turn in, a figure turned in the bed.

"Hey…."

Inuyasha had a sly smirk on his face.

"Hey, guess what? Mitsuji just laughed!"

"Oh really?"

Inuyasha said with interest as he sat up in bed, he had on only his boxers.

"What'd you do?"

"I just made a few faces and tickled him, of course I learned all that from you!"

"Hmm of course you did, I use to have you passed out on the floor from it too!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and began to change into her night gown, of course Inuyasha was enjoying his view, Kagome heard a faint growl.

"Whoa there dog boy, no action for a few weeks, the doctors said it was dangerous!"

"Then why are you teasing me?"

"I'm not teasing you I'm just under…..oh right I forgot."

Inuyasha started to whimper.

"NO! Down boy!"

Kagome scolded to Inuyasha as if he were a puppy, which after he crossed his arms and pouted.

Kagome sighed and climbed into bed while pulling Inuyasha closer to her body until his head rested on top of her breasts. Kagome began to stroke his ears while he messaged her delicate skin, his very touch aroused her, Inuyasha began to purr and Kagome was trying to bite back a few moans, while her body began to feel a bit sweaty, Inuyasha smelled this.

"Go to sleep Kagome."

"Mmm but I'm not sleepy….."

"Shh yes you are now sleep!"

Inuyasha put a finger to Kagome's lips and gently pushed her down onto the pillow and gave her a kiss goodnight on the lips. He didn't want anymore temptation then this.

"Goodnight I love you Inuyasha."

"I love you too Kagome."

The days passed in peace, they were the good and bad times, Mitsuji did cry occasionally and usually was loud when he did but he didn't cry that often because he was usually near Kagome then him doing that wouldn't be necessary, then of course Kagome realized just how many times babies fill their diapers a day especially a newborn, Mitsuji was disappointed he'd feel that way often, he as always enjoyed his daily feedings, all he would have to do was cry, he found out 3 days later that is what makes Kagome milk. He liked it so much because it was the time where he felt most content and safe not to mention happy.

Then Mitsuji found out how funny Inuyasha could be, Kagome got a little jealous because Inuyasha seemed to get more laughs out of their baby then she could.

Mitsuji liked Inuyasha just as much as Kagome, he was the funny one of course but he was also soft and warm like Kagome.

Inuyasha though he loved his child very much, he hated changing him just as much as the next guy, he was a half demon and had a very enhanced sense of smell so you can imagine why he hated it so.

Mitsuji would always crack a small smile and make noise when Kagome would appear in the room, she'd smile back and bounce him up and down in her arms.

The morning of the classes the alarm went off, Inuyasha threw it out of the window, he wouldn't realize his actions till later. Since Mitsuji couldn't sleep last night he was placed in a mini bed in between his parents.

"Kagome…..?"

Inuyasha said while still half asleep.

"Mmm?"

"……….."

Inuyasha was leaning closer to 'Kagome' and Kagome was leaning closer to 'Inuyasha', Mitsuji had woken up and wondered what his parents were doing.

"Inuyasha…."

"Kagome……"

"Mmmmm….."

Both gave Mitsuji a good long smooch on his forehead.

"Heh heh….."

Mitsuji giggled louder and louder until he was moving his whole body around in enjoyment, it was then that the couple opened their eyes and saw what they kissed, Kagome started to snort then laughed real loud Inuyasha sighed and gave the baby a soft look.

"Oh, hey it's time to get ready Mitsuji, today's your day out with mama!"

Kagome cooed to Mitsuji who rubbed his eyes.

"We're all still sleepy!"

She started to hear faint snoring.

"INUYASHA!"

"Wha….? Huh? I'm up! I'm up!"

"Hey…where's the alarm clock?"

Inuyasha began to 'snore' again.

"Inuyasha!"

Kagome said sternly.

"Go outside and get it!"

Inuyasha didn't argue he decided not to test her today. Kagome returned her gaze towards Mitsuji which softened the second she looked at him.

"Dada's so silly sometimes! Make sure you aren't silly like he is ok?"

Mitsuji responded with a small "Deh….." and smiled.

"Come young man it's time for your bath."

It was 6:00, the classes were at 9:00 but it took awhile to get there because of traffic and distance. Kagome took a shower with her baby, there was a spot where she could lay him on his back while she scrubbed and washed herself.

Inuyasha took a shower downstairs in the other bathroom. Then he made some eggs and bacon for the both of them to eat.

"Wow something smells good!"

"Oh you cooked again! How nice!"

"Good morning Kagome, Inuyasha and Mitsuji!"

"Good morning Maria did you sleep well?"

"Yes I slept fine, I made you some coffee Inuyasha."

"Oh thank you!"

Inuyasha inhaled the scent of it and sighed in happiness.

"And for you Kagome some green tea."

"Thank you, is there anything you'd like?"

"Uh well….."

"You've done so much for us the least I can do at this moment is get you a bite to eat or a drink now what is it?"

"I would like some cocoa….I mean if it's not too much trouble!"

"Sure anything you want! Do you like pancakes?"

"Yes."

"Ok I'll make you some, now go relax in the living room while I get everything ready."

"Oh does Mitsuji need anything?"

"I think he's covered."

Kagome said while patting her baby head. Mitsuji was currently occupied with a baby toy that was designed for biting.

"Alright then."

Maria turned the channel to her Spanish soaps. (pretty decent cable system)

Kagome had her hair up in a high pony tail, she wore slacks and a long sleeved dress shirt that was white, but unfortunately she had to change Mitsuji spit up on her, she was burping him and she thought she heard him belch but a few seconds later she realized she was wrong, she went back upstairs to clean the both of them up.

Eventually Kagome brought Mitsuji out in the living room to keep Maria company, she didn't want her sitting by herself all the time, Maria smiled at the baby who giggled and waved his toy at her.

"You look just like your mama and papi!"

'Especially his mama though!'

A little while later Mitsuji began to fuss, Maria tried to console him but he continued anyway.

"Oh Mitsuji! There there now it's ok!"

Kagome said while bouncing him up and down in a rocking motion (he seemed to like that a lot)

"I'm sorry Kagome I don't know why….."

"It's not your fault Maria he's just hungry…..that's all aren't you Mitsuji?"

Kagome said the last part to Mitsuji in the usual tone she used with him, Kagome was putting her hair up with a clip, Mitsuji found lots of interest in it and tried grabbing it.

"I'm sorry Mitsuji mommy needs this to put her hair up!"

Mitsuji started fussing because he didn't get his way, Kagome pacified him.

"No mean no Mitsuji!"

Mitsuji gave her a look.

"OH come here baby!"

Kagome cuddled with her infant who was happy at the sudden change in mood. Kagome didn't wear perfume because it might be too strong for the baby's sensitive nose, instead she used different varieties daily and after showers.

8:15:

"Ok well I've got to go now, come on Mitsuji it's time for another car ride!"

"Maria would you like to come? I don't want you to be here all by yourself, it gets lonely."

"Sure why not?"

Maria grabbed her coat and put on her shoes, Kagome wore a leather jacket that came down to her thighs, put on some leather gloves and then a hat. Mitsuji noticed how different his mama looking now then 2 seconds ago, he had a coat of his own and it felt heavy on him the outfit he wore underneath was a baby blue with Dalmatians puppies scattered everywhere and his green baby booties with a thread run through tied in a bow at the front, last Kagome tied a bonnet around his head to keep his ears and sides of his head warm.

"Oh Inuyasha come! Here look at him! Isn't he adorable?"

Inuyasha looked at his baby and raised his eyebrows.

"Where ya goin? A beauty pageant?"

"Oh Inuyasha!"

Kagome slapped his shoulder.

"Seriously I hope you don't embarrass him one day!"

"Humph!"

"Don't listen to dada! He just won't admit how cute you really are!"

"Keh!"

"Hey I've got to get ready for work I'll see if I can come home tonight ok?"

"Alright Inuyasha, mwah I love you!"

"Love you too! Now hurry up Maria's probably freezing outside waitin for ya wench!"

"Don't call me wench!"

"Whatever bye!"

Mitsuji saw that they were heading for the front door which led to the 'Outside' which held things so unfamiliar and strange many beyond him. He had gone outside a few times and liked it but each time he'd be afraid they'd turn in the opposite direction of the yard leading to the car which he still didn't like that much, he started whimpering when Kagome pressed the garage button.

"What's the matter Mitsuji? You ok?"

Kagome started to rock him in her arms and coo to him, her touch felt very good among the cold air, he began to feel a bit better after hearing the soothing sounds of her voice. He was strapped into his baby seat and started to get a little sleepy once Kagome drove out on the highway, his seat was rocking gently back and forth, listening to his mama's voice was another comfort even she was trying to be as quiet as possible when talking to Maria.

Slowly everything seemed to go black, until Mitsuji finally tilted his head back and fell asleep. The next thing he knew he was in his mama's arms while having a nice pat and message all while being rocked gently.

The place he was in smelled not anything like his home did, there seemed to be all sorts of humans in the room select amount of them smelled funny, some men just weird. Mitsuji wrinkled his nose in curiosity at all the smells Kagome giggled at him and tickled his cheek.

"OH HE'S ADOREABLE!"

One women with an amazingly large belly and yet the rest of her figure appeared flawless, she also wore large hope earrings and appeared to be speaking in a strange accent.

"THIS IS HIM? OH LOOK AT HIM! ISN'T HE JUST SO PRECIOUS?"

One by one the commotion got louder as all the pregnant women fussed over Mitsuji, Kagome had to tell them to back off because at one point he looked ready to sound off a loud cry because everyone was too close, then he was clutching her shirt harder then usual. One man however was an exception since he tried wagging a finger in his face, Mitsuji gripped his finger and twisted it backwards, you could tell the man was really trying hard to mask his pain.

"Wow Kagome he looks just like you!"

A women with a small pony tail and a bright dark magenta maternity shirt that said 'Bun in the oven' with blue jeans appeared at her side

"Oh hello there Kagura!"

"Sesshomaru's not here with you today?"

"No he had a meeting today so I had to go myself."

"Oh well both our certainly are busy!"

"Yeah you can say that again, sometimes I think he'd choose his work over me if I had the choice but it's not good to think like that because when he comes home well…..let's just say he makes up for it then…."

Kagura indicated by pointing to her stomach, both her and Kagome laughed at the joke.

Mitsuji gurgled to Kagura while waving his hand at her.

"Hello there!"

Kagura cooed to Mitsuji while touching his nose softly with her finger.

"So now I get to finally meet my nephew!"

Kagome beamed at Kagura and Mitsuji.

"OH Kagome he's absolutely adorable!"

Mitsuji yawned and turned in Kagome's arms.

"Aww!"

Mitsuji then turned his big golden eyes back onto both of the girls.

"We're going to start soon Kagura, so I'll talk to you later ok?"

"Ok Kagome, bye cutie! I mean Mitsuji!"

Kagome wasn't the only one who taught the classes there were 3 other teachers in the room all specializing in something specific.

"Ok what we have here today ladies and gentlemen is a real baby…..mine!"

Kagome said while giggling others joined in as well followed by a few 'awws'! when Mitsuji was rubbing his eyes and yawning adjusting to the view.

Kagome explained a few things about how the newborn would most likely be very attached to the mother but it was possible for the baby to take to the father just as well or even better, but cautioned for siblings to always be gentle around them. She even did a diaper demonstration,

"…..Men I hope your paying attention because you'll have to learn this too!"

A few cringed and 'eeked' out loud. The wives were smirking. Mitsuji had a blank expression on his face.

"Don't worry mama's gonna get you all cleaned up!"

Mitsuji began fussing, Kagome rubbed his belly.

"It's good to either talk or sing songs to the baby in any situation and don't worry if the baby starts crying even after the soiled articles are removed it's normal but with any baby but boys especially it can mean that well they 'Aren't quite done.' yet."

"You ok?"

Mitsuji started reaching for Kagome, she leaned down and let him stroke her cheek with the tips of his fingers, while smiling.

"Oh and it's never a bad thing to let them touch, all infants loved to either touch or be touched by the parent."

"Wow! Higurashi-san got her baby to calm down instantly!"

Another women said,

"I'll never be as good as Higurashi-san….."

"Don't say that! This is my first child and he's only about a week and a few days old and trust me we have our ups but we certainly have our downs! No one's perfect."

Lots of these people knew her by her maiden name so she let them refer to as so.

A few women had already birthed there babies but not the majority of the class.

"Ok Women……Men you may want to look away…..but I would advise you keep your minds out of……ok you know what Men all of you leave the room for a moment and come back when we say it's ok."

Some men were a bit thick because they didn't know what Kagome meant.

"Anyway on with the lesson, I know some of you have made the decision already to breast feed."

Kagome demonstrated by letting Mitsuji feed from her, at this moment he could care less if people were watching all he wanted was his precious milk.

"You should be able to always hear the baby swallow and……….."

The audience clapped after the demonstration was over and at the satisfied expression on Mitsuji's face after his feeding, then he burped and everyone laughed.

"That's all for today ladies, see you next time!"

"That was amazing!"

"I know that women really has parenting down!"

Kagome sighed then turned to the baby in her arms.

"Ready to go sweetie?"

Mitsuji smiled at Kagome and reached for her.

"Someone needs another new diaper!"

Kagome nuzzled his nose and kissed his lips.

"That was an excellent performance Kagome!"

"Thank you!"

"Maria it will be a moment Mitsuji needs a changing so just wait outside for me in the lobby alright?"

"Ok Kagome."

Mitsuji watched Maria rub her stomach as his head tilted forward on Kagome's shoulder while willing himself not to get sleepy from Kagome messaging his back, he had that cold feeling again and started fussing, Kagome hushed him with his pacifier.

"Mmm….Mmmm…."

Mitsuji fussed while Kagome was trying to change him.

'Looks like he did more then I thought.'

"It's ok baby I'm almost done!"

Mitsuji was always comforted by Kagome's voice and continued to watch her lips move.

"There we go! Come on let's go!"

Kagome got Maria and offered to go to McDonald's Maria had never really eaten there but she was willing to try it.

"Wow! I had no idea how much better a burger could taste with twice the cheese and meat!"

"I'm glad you like it!"

Maria had ordered a double cheeseburger, Kagome got a Big Mac, Mitsuji watched as the two enjoyed there food with envy in his eyes.

"When you older I'll let you eat what mama eats ok?"

Mitsuji still felt pretty down because the smells were addicting in that place, he continually inhaled the smells of the place, Kagome sighed and gave in.

"OK! But JUST this once!"

Kagome took the smallest bit of her burger chewed on it a bit so Mitsuji would be able to swallow it since he didn't have any teeth then gave it to him, Mitsuji swallowed it and smiled. Unfortunately 10 minutes later it was already time to change him again.

Another few weeks passed and it was time to enroll him in a daycare since Kagome was going to start going to school again, night classes weren't available yet but that time seemed just as bad for her too, then Inuyasha had to work and she felt bad all the times she made Maria baby-sit (she refused money at first)

Mitsuji was used to going to new places now. Mitsuji had lots of fuzz on his head, the way his hair parted up naturally was looking very much like how Kagome's does.

When they entered the facility Mitsuji found neither the sounds or smells pleasurable nor to his liking he just wanted to stay with his mama which he had a gut feeling that she was going to leave him there.

Kagome set Mitsuji's baby seat on a table top where there were other wiggling infants and smiled a bright yet sad smile.

"Mama has to go to school for a little while but I promise I'll be back k?"

Kagome leaned forward and kissed her babies face all over and his delicate head, then placed his pacifier in his mouth, he began sucking on it a few moments later, Kagome thought he was too cute but knew she had to hurry.

"Be a good boy for mama ok?"

With that Kagome slowly backed away from Mitsuji, she saw that confused stare on his face, he was wondering why she was leaving again and this reminded him of the hospital. He felt the exact feeling again when he was just born and once she was out of sight he cried with all he had, causing a few neighboring infants to join him because of how loud he was.

His pacifier fell out then he cried harder while hitting his head on his seat and banging his fists on the sides of his chair he was going to hurt himself if he kept that up.

A women with light brown hair picked Mitsuji up and tried her best to comfort him.

'Man! I always screw up at this! I'm pathetic always having to ask Serenity for help!'

"SERENITY I NEED YOUR HEL….."

A girl with shiny black hair and violet eyes appeared at her side.

"You know Keiko there's no need to yell."

"Sorry."

Keiko looked down in shame.

"So….who is it this time?"

Keiko held the baby in front of her face.

"Oh a newcomer have we?"

'This one's different from the rest of them.'

Serenity thought while observing the restless Mitsuji.

Mitsuji sensed something about this girl something different………

A/N: I used to get that way all the time when I was little, never wanted to be apart from my mother. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
