Chapter 20: Growing Closer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
After another long day of school the gang was heading for the park once again. Iziyoi was already their with Hiro and Aya-they got to go early for good behavior. Kagome was staring out the window while Inuyasha drove with one hand on the wheel they other grasping Kagome's hand. Kagome was feeling proud of herself, with all the work she was doing at home and in gym at spreading her powers and holding it. She was able to hold her power in place for thirty minutes! Kaede wants her to be able to hold it for an hour before they move on but she was half way there and she was happy with that!
She looked at Inuyasha and smiled, she was slowly starting to feel comfortable with him and their friends. Inuyasha looked at her from the corner of his eye, smiled and tightened his grip on her hand. He lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed her knuckles making her smile even wider. No words were spoken, no words were needed.
They pulled into the park but before Inuyasha could get out Kagome grabbed him by the neck of his shirt and brought his lips to hers. After a couple minutes they pulled apart, smiled at each other and exited the car. they met and the front of the car, Inuyasha held his hand out and Kagome took it and started walking to their friends.
"Mommy! Yash!" Hiro called out running towards them. Inuyasha smiled at his nickname that Hiro gave him. He swooped down to pick him up and tossed him in the air. Hiro's giggles filled they air.
"What are you doing bud?" Inuyasha asked holding Hiro to his side.
"Zoi swing!" Hiro said pointing. Inuyasha and Kagome looked and saw Iziyoi pushing Aya on the swing. Kagome gave Hiro a kiss on the cheek and told him to go back to Iziyoi before continuing on their way to their friends.
"Okay, Inuyasha lets go over your dance moves a couple times before you start filming. Then I will teach Miroku his moves while you are taping." Kagome said and Inuyasha nodded.
A few hours later both of Inuyasha's videos were done and Miroku was out of breath. "Are we ready to learn your dance moves Sango?"
"As long as you don't kill me like you almost did to Miroku." She laughed as Miroku fell down on his back still trying to catch his breath.
Kagome shrugged. "Hey, he's the one who decided to write fast beat rock songs."
"I don't know why Kagome isn't out of breath." Miroku panted out as he lifted his head up to glare at everyone as they laughed at him.
"Miroku, you really need to start working out and get in shape." Inuyasha laughed at him and Miroku rolled his eyes as his head fell back down to the ground.
About two hours later the group headed back to Inuyasha's house so Sango could do editing and Kagome could work on Rin and Ayame's songs plot. Iziyoi had already left with the kids so she could feed them so now all Kagome had to do was give them a bath and put them to sleep.
With Kagome's kids tucked into bed she walked to the kitchen to make everyone a snack and drink.
"Need help?" Inuyasha asked as he walked to her side giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
Kagome smiled up and him. "Sure! You want to take the drinks down for me?"
"You got it!" Inuyasha said grabbing the drink tray, Kagome followed him with the snack tray. The group worked for another two hours before Sango and Miroku called it a night and went home.
*Break*
It was Saturday so everyone was sleeping in except for Kagome. Her kids were always up at six am, no matter what.
At eight Inuyasha came downstairs and saw Kagome laying on her stomach on the floor letting her kids walk, roll and sit on her. He heard her grunt when Aya butt slammed her and he chuckled. Kagome cracked an eye and stuck her tongue out at him. He stuck his back at her.
"Hiro, Aya. Go get Yash." Kagome smiled.
Hiro looked up and did a battle cry as he and Aya tackled Inuyasha. He did a dramatic fall letting the kids roll all over him. "Oh no! They got me!" Inuyasha cried out.
Iziyoi and Taisho, who were sitting on the couch the entire time, smiled at them as Iziyoi snapped a picture.
One minute Inuyasha was staring up at Hiro's chubby baby face then the next he was staring at Kagome's face. "You hungry? I could cook you some breakfast." She asked him as Iziyoi snapped another picture.
"I could eat." Inuyasha said smiling. Kagome gave him a small kiss before getting up and walking to the kitchen.
Inuyasha wanted to try something so he stood up and walked into the kitchen. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his chin on her shoulder. Kagome jumped a little but quickly relaxed and melted against him. "Are you comfortable?" He asked her
Kagome smiled and nodded. "Nice and comfy." She felt Inuyasha smile against her neck and his arms tighten around her waist. Iziyoi snuck in and took yet another picture.
Inuyasha didn't know how it happened or when it happened but the girl wrapped in his arms and her kids were becoming the most important people in his life.
"Zoi, where's my Yash?" Hiro was heard from the living room.
Kagome smiled. "Looks like I just got replaced as his favorite person."
Inuyasha laughed and kissed the crook of her neck. "That's okay," Kagome felt a shiver going down her spine as his breath fanned over her neck. "I think I've got a new favorite person as well."
"Yash!" Hiro yelled running into the kitchen. "Come on!" He said as he pulled Inuyasha away.
Kagome's heart felt so full of love that she thought it might burst. She was finally happy.
Iziyoi walked back into the kitchen, she saw as Hiro dragged Inuyasha away and snapped another picture as she laughed. She had seen so much happiness coming from her son since he met Kagome. She had never seen him like this with any of his other girlfriends and knew without a doubt that he has found the one meant to spend the rest of his life with. Iziyoi walked up to stand next to Kagome. "I want to thank you, Kagome, for making my son so happy. I've never seen him quite this happy before."
"You're welcome, but I think you got that mixed up." Kagome smiled brightly. "I have never been this happy ever. The first time I seen Inuyasha standing in the school parking lot on my first day. There was kind of like a tug at my heart, like he was the one I was suppose to be with-you know?"
Iziyoi smiled and nodded. "I do know. That's exactly how I felt when I first laid eyes on Taisho." Iziyoi smiled wider and tucked a strand of hair behind Kagome's ear. "I've always wanted a daughter and now I've got two! Rin and you! And a granddaughter and grandson!" Iziyoi smiled leaving the kitchen.
Kagome smiled as she finished cooking Inuyasha's breakfast.
