I think I love this story a little more then most of my other InuYasha stories. Its more family based modern day style with Instagram thrown in and even crazy chaotic children being children. Please read the story comment and leave reviews I'd love to hear ideas especially in the upcoming chapters. This story won't be very long but I think I'll add a few funny and humorous chapters here and there.


Chapter two

"What the hell are you doing to Hoshiki Kikyko?" Inuko's voice rumbled downstairs.

"Great," I said and got out of bed. It isn't even 8am and they're already up to something. I looked at the alarm clock and stretched.

"Those damn kids better not be fighting," I said and went to the closet to change.

"He's so cute now, oh my goodness he's so adorable," Kikyko's voice chimed.

"Get this braid out of my hair right now Kikyko before I do something to you you'll regret," Hoshiki hissed at her barring his claws to her.

She giggled and smiled kneeling in front of Hoshiki.

"I told you not to braid his hair he hates that," Inuko said in the kitchen.

"She braided his hair again…" I said coming down the stairs.

"Come on Hoshiki baby sister won't have long hair for a while, right now…. You're the closest I got," she giggled and extended her hands to reach for him.

"Don't you dare touch me Kikyko I'll tell dad, stupid I shouldn't have listened to you when you told me to come here," he half shouted at her and hissed angrily, he grunted and had his claws still bared at her. I sighed as I came around the dining room table.

"What are you two squabbling about? Hoshiki don't you dare hurt your sister…" I said crossing my arms. Kikyko quickly grabbed Hoshiki and wrapped her arms around him. He hissed and tried to push her away.

"LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS, HE HAS TWO BRAIDS IN HIS HAIR AND HE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT IT," she said nuzzling him.

"DAD MAKE HER STOP BEFORE I SERIOUSLY HURT HER," he shouted. I sighed deeply and came towards them.

"Kiki, what did I say about braiding your brother's hair?" I said looking at her. She let go of Hoshiki and stood up. He ran away from her and started unraveling the braids from his hair.

"Uhhh but daddy he's so cute, Inuko would never let me braid his hair," she said trying to use her baby face on me. I shook my head and narrowed my eyes at her.

"I should ground you, I really really should," I said and crossed my arms.

"He won't ground her," Inuko said to himself in the kitchen as the frying pan started to crackle from the eggs and bacon. I turned and looked at him. I came towards him to the kitchen.

"Your eggs are burning," I said to him and reached for the plates over the sink.

"Damn," Inuko said and turned to the pan quickly.

"Two weeks Kikyko," I said balancing plates on my arm.

"WHAT TWO WEEKS… daddy," she whined coming to the kitchen.

"I warned you twice now, and you still braided his hair, you know how much he hates that," I said to her and came around the kitchen island to the table.

She crossed her arms and huffed.

"Not fair," she mumbled to herself. Hoshiki came down the hallway with a towel over his head.

"Stupid I had to wash my hair because of you," he hissed at his sister again. Inuko chuckled and pushed the bacon, eggs and hash-browns to a large plate.

"Aaaah, this is not fair papa why am I being punished for this, he's my brother, he's cute, and adorable and has doggy ears and white hair," she chimed and smiled. I saw her face change to a rosy color and her eyes looked like a little puppy.

"I warned you Kikyko, I go easy on you all the time, he doesn't like it, you need to understand that…" I said to her and organized the table.

She huffed again and crossed her arms; she puffed her cheeks then turned to the kitchen again.

"I'm serious two weeks and don't touch your brother," I half shouted after her.

Hoshiki pulled the towel to his shoulders and watched his sister come around him to the refrigerator.

She pulled out some drinks and vegetables from the fridge awkwardly balancing them in her arms, she closed the door with her leg.

Hoshiki looked at her again as she tried balancing everything in her arms making her way back to the table.

"Sis?" he said following her.

She ignored him and said nothing as she placed the drinks on the table. She reached for a plate and organized the vegetables on it.

"Come on your not mad at me are you? I just don't like it when you touch my hair that's all, and when you smother me, and kiss me, I'm a boy I don't want to smell like a girl," he said to her. She ignored him and came around the table. I watched her and Hoshiki as he followed her.

"Hoshi, come help me in the kitchen for a second," I said to him separating him from his sister. I didn't want him to push her anymore, its bad enough I had to ground her. I usually never ground her. I'm never strict with Kikyko like I am with the boys, maybe because she was born human. I guess I always treated her differently because of that. I'm so protective of her and never yell at her, Kagome hates that because she thinks I let her get away with everything. I try not too. I seriously don't let her get away with things. Okay I had to ground her. She needed to learn.

Hoshiki followed me as I came around the kitchen island.

"Dad you didn't have to ground Kiki," he said to me.

"I do have too, I always hold her to a different standard then you boys, maybe because she's a girl, but she has to learn Hoshi," I said to him.

"Now she won't talk to me for two weeks," he said and threw his hands in the air.

"She'll get over it Hoshi, help your brother with the breakfast," I said to him. I came around the island again and looked over at Kikyko as she opened a drawer to the glass cabinet for forks and knives.

"Huh?" I heard her saw she looked around the room for the ringing.

"Oh," she said noticing her mother's cell phone ringing on the table. She came around the table and picked up the phone.

"Hello," she said answering the phone.

"Huh? Hello?" she said again. I came towards her curious.

"Uh who is this, how did you get this number its private?" she said again. I waved my hand for her to pass me the phone.

"I see you, you're so gorgeous…." The voice said over the phone. She pulled it from her face and looked at me.

She passed the phone over, her face fell white like a ghost.

"Hey who the hell is this?" I said angry.

-click-

There was nothing but a buzzing sound.

"Who was it Kikyko what did they say?" I asked her. She looked scared for some reason. I came around the table to her.

"It was an unfamiliar man's voice... he said I see you," she said her voice trembled.

"It's just a prank Kiki, don't worry…. I won't let anything happen," I said touching her arms.

We all gathered at the table and sat down for breakfast. Kikyko kept tapping her fork in the plate. She didn't even touch her food, she looked worried or scared I couldn't tell. I leaned over the table and touched her face. I lifted her face to me.

"Please stop worrying about that phone call… it's probably just a prank Kiki," I said to her. She sighed deeply and moved her eyes to her brother.

"Hoshi, I'm sorry I braided your hair," she said to him.

"I don't want you to be mad sis, I just don't like it…." He said to her again.

"I love you Hoshi, it's just my way of expressing it," she said to him and cut her bacon with her fork.

"I know sis…" he said to her and reached for a carrot. I slide the vegetable plate over to him.

"Are we going to see mother today?" Inuko asked.

"Yeah after we are done eating," I said to him.

"Great," he said and smiled.

"Hospital foods not that great, can we stop by the pastry shop and get mom something yummy?" Kikyko said to us. I smiled at her and nodded.

"She'd like that," I said and watched Kikyko pick at the bacon.


"Momma," Kikyko's voice chimed as we entered Kagome's hospital room. Strange she wasn't in bed and Makoto was in a bassinet making noises.

"Oh, look whose here," we heard her come out of the bathroom. I smiled and came around the bed to her.

"Hi," she said and smiled when I hugged her.

"MAKOOOO," Kikyko said to her sister she leaned over her bassinet and touched her hands.

"Hey baby sis," Inuko said to her leaning over her bassinet as well.

"Mom, mom hi… how are you feeling?" Hoshi said to his mother, he grabbed her hand and pulled her from me. She bent down to him.

"My Hoshi, I'm feeling well, I get to go home today with Makoto," she said to him and touched his head.

I came around the bed to Makoto's bassinet.

"She's been eating a lot today," Kagome said, she sat down on the bed and Hoshi climbed up next to her. He crawled over to his sister, as I pulled her out of the bassinet.

"Awwwe she's so cute," Kikyko said touching her head, I cradled her in my arms.

"Oooh, I forgot," Kikyko said looking at the small box in her hand.

"Momma we got you a cake," she said coming around the bed. She pulled up a chair and sat down handing the box to her mother.

"Ohhh sweetie, thank you," she said and opened the box.

"My favorite too," I smiled as Kagome cut the fork through the cake piece. She held it up to Kikyko giving her the first bite. I looked over at them, and smiled when she did this.

"That's for you momma you have it,"

"Sweetie I want to share it with all of you," she said again. Kikyko smiled and took the fork from her mother.

I sat down on the edge of the bed holding Makoto on my lap I tapped her nose and nuzzled her. Then I heard a camera snap. I looked over at Inuko.

He chuckled and was typing something on the phone.

"What are you doing?" I said to him. He snickered and slide away from me.

Instagram Post

"When your half demon dad is a big softy drooling over your baby sister, and your mother is eating a strawberry cheesecake and not sharing."

He snickered and posted it.

I leaned over him and read what he wrote. Two pictures, one of me and Mako and one of his mother's holding a fork to her mouth with a big piece of cheesecake, I narrowed my eyes at him.

Sango: Hahahaha, he is a softy, only to his girls. She's so adorable!

Miroku: Did you piss off your mother or something is that why she's not sharing?

Sango: No I'm sure she just doesn't like Inuko enough to share with him.

Inuko: Hey I'm her favorite son.

Rin: Aaaawwweeeeee the baby look at her, she's adorable!

I took the phone from Inuko he was laughing at the comments. Kagome turned to him curious as to what we were doing.

"What are you doing?" she said to us. I quickly typed on the phone.

(Sesshomaru I think Rin's talking to you!) I snickered and hit send.

-End Post-

"Boys what are you doing?" Kagome said again.

"Nothing just posted some picks," Inuko smiled mischievously.

"I leave my phone on the table for one second," she said and took the phone from me.

"Awe baby sis is crying," Kikyko said coming around the bed to me she kneeled down to the floor.

"Huh!" I said as Kikyko's hands hovered over her sister.

"What are you doing?" Kagome said nervous. She leaned over me and looked at Kikyko.

"Hehehe," Kikyko's voice giggled as her hands emitted a small white spiritual light over her sisters' body.

"What are you doing Kikyko?" I said and moved Mako away from her.

"Awe, I wanted to give her some of my power, so she'll grow strong…." Kikyko said and pouted.

"Some of your power, Kikyko your spiritual power can't do that, its too powerful to make anyone strong…." Kagome said and pulled her romper up over her stomach to make sure her sister hadn't hurt her.

"She didn't hurt her Kagome," I said and touched Kagome's hands. "Kikyko never do that again do you understand me, you can never use your spiritual power ever," Kagome said to her sternly and took Makoto from my arms. She held her to her chest and rubbed her back.

"Momma I didn't hurt her, I did the same to Hoshiki, it'll protect her," Kikyko said and stood up. Kagome took a step away from her.

"Woah woah, stop," I said standing up. I stepped between Kikyko and Kagome.

"Kiki, you did the same to Hoshiki, when?" I said to her crossing my arms. She looked to me and to her mother. She took a step away from us, I think she felt the tension in the room.

"He was a baby papa," she said her voice sounded nervous.

"I'm sure it was harmless no need to get mad at Kikyko," Inuko said behind her. He touched her shoulders and smiled.

"Don't ever do it again," Kagome said to her sternly. She walked over to the chair in the room and sat down.

"I'm sorry…" Kikyko's voice said quietly. I looked at Kagome then to Kikyko.

Kikyko looked at me then her mother and ran out of the room.

"Great," I said and was just about to go after her when Inuko ran out of the room after his sister.

"Kiki, Kiki stop…" he said and grabbed her arm.

"What was that Kagome? Kikyko would never hurt her sister or brothers," I said crossing my arms. Kagome didn't even look at me she held Makoto in her arms and looked at her.

"I knew she did this to Hoshiki when he was a baby as well, that's why I never said anything, I didn't think she'd do this again." Kagome said to me. I bent down to her and looked at her.

"Sis used her powers on me, why?" Hoshiki said coming towards us.

"She said it would protect you and make you stronger," Kagome said looking at Hoshiki.

"Kagome, she would never hurt her siblings…" I said to her and touched Mako's head.

"I know, but it scared me….her spiritual power has been used for destruction, it caused so much problems in our world," she said to me.

"Sis isn't a bad person mom, she would never hurt anyone," Hoshiki said to her. She smiled at him and touched his face.

"I know my love, but Kikyko has to learn to never use her powers in this world," she said ruffling his hair.

"She left crying mom," Hoshi said to us and moved his mother's hand from his head.

"Inuko…." Kikyko said crying.

"Stop, I hate it when you cry," he said and pulled her to him.

"I never do anything right, I braided Hoshi's hair this morning just for fun to make him look cute, and dad got mad… and…. Now mom is mad at me," she mumbled through her tears.

"Stop no, no one's mad at you Kikyko, you just… need to learn to control yourself, I know you love to be helpful, and want to do fun things with us always. And even want to protect little sis, but Kiki you need to control what you do," he said resting his head against hers.

"I never do anything right… I'm not even a half demon and a burden to everyone..." she mumbled in her brother's chest. He pulled her from him and looked at her.

"Don't ever say that Kikyko, you're not a burden to us," I said behind them. Inuko turned and looked at me as I came towards them.

"Yes I am, I'm not a half demon… you treat me differently because I'm not, even momma, and… I never do anything right," she said again and held her hands to her face.

Inuko moved aside, I grabbed Kikyko and pulled her to me.

"Don't ever say that…. Your special to us Kikyko, everything about you is special, just because you're not like your brothers or sister doesn't mean you're not a half demon. We love you and care for you so much, that's why we treat you differently, you're my first baby girl…." I said to her and touched her head.

"Sis please stop crying," Inuko said to her rubbing her back.

"Come on baby girl, let's go home, your mother's ready to go now…" I said to her and pulled her from me. She rubbed her face.

"Kikyko?" Kagome's voice said behind me. We turned and looked at her.

Hoshiki looked at Kikyko and adjusted his sisters baby bag around over his shoulder.

"Come talk to me for a minute," Kagome said to her. Kikyko took in a deep breath and rubbed her cheeks.

"Mom you're not going to get mad at Kikyko again are you?" Hoshiki said worried as Kikyko came towards them.

Kagome touched his head.

Kikyko came to her mother, she took her hand and pulled her down the hallway.

"Don't worry Hoshiki," I said to him. He looked at his mother and sister as they went back to her hospital room.

"I'm sorry momma, I didn't mean too…" Kikyko said to her mother as she closed the door behind them.

"Kikyko, I'm sorry… I shouldn't have yelled at you like I did, I just got scared… you did this to Hoshi and I know you did when he was younger, I didn't think you'd do this to your sister," she said and touched a hand to her face.

"My precious Kikyko, I know you want to use your spiritual powers to heal and help people… and I know how hard you have been trying not too," she said to her again and pulled her to her chest.

Kikyko rested her head against her mother's chest and looked at Makoto in her arm.

"I'm sorry momma… I would never hurt baby sister," she said and touched Makoto's head.

"I know that my love, I know… but you need to promise me to do your absolute best to control your powers Kiki," Kagome said to her touching her hair.

"I will momma I promise," she said and pulled herself from her mother.

"Do you want to carry your sister?" she said adjusting the blanket Makoto was wrapped in.

"Me? I've never carried a baby, even Hoshi," Kikyko said nervous.

"Here extend your arms," she said to her.

"Uh huh, like this?" Kikyko said nervous. Kagome pulled Makoto to her arms. Kikyko wrapped her arms around her sister.

"There you go just like that," Kagome said to her. She adjusted the blanket in Kikyko's arms.

"Am I doing this right?" Kikyko said again.

Kagome smiled and parted Kikyko's bangs then kissed her forehead.

"Let's go home," she said to her.

"There you two are, Hoshiki and Inuko are in the car already," I said near the door as Kagome came out. Kikyko was behind her, her sister in her arms.

"Papa look at her," she said and smiled.

"Isn't she beautiful?" I said touching Makoto's head. I saw Kikyko lift her sister to her face and she kissed her forehead.

"Let's go baby girl," I said and pulled my arm over Kikyko's shoulder. Kagome smiled and took my hand as we walked out of the hospital together.


"I'm glad to be home," Kagome said as she sat down on the couch. Kikyko put Mako in her baby bassinet we had in the living room.

"She sleeps a lot," she said and covered her up.

"She does, she will sleep and eat mostly…. For a couple of months, until her teeth come in," Kagome said as Kikyko came and sat down next to her.

Inuko smiled and pulled Hoshiki from his back to his feet, he lifted his sleeves and pulled Mako's baby bag from around his body.

"Awe man," Hoshi said.

"So Inuko," Kikyko said from the couch. I leaned over Mako's bassinet adjusting the blanket over her and put her pink bear near her.

"What Kikyko?" he said from the kitchen. Hoshiki leaned over the back of the couch climbing over it.

"I heard this rumor in school," Kikyko said and crossed her arms. She grabbed Hoshiki in a head lock and pulled him over the couch. Kikyko and Inuko go to a mixed school with demons, half demons, and humans, it was middle grade school, high school, and had a section for seniors to start college entrance exams. Hoshiki wasn't able to get in to that school, I guess districts or something, he attends a school across the court yard from his siblings. However, its an all human boys' school. It worried us to put him there, Koji and Yuki attend it as well, and I'm glad they're with him.

"AH AH STOP IT KIKI," he shouted at her and pulled her arm from around his neck. She laughed and stood up coming around the couch. I watched her curious as to where this was going, Kagome turned around on the couch and watched her as well.

"What did you hear Kikyko?" Inuko's voice sounded agitated. He leaned in to the fridge scrimmaging through containers.

"I don't know… just a rumor about you and Hakura," she said leaning over the kitchen counter. He turned and looked at her then we saw his face turn sour. He came around the counter quickly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down the hallway.

"AH INUKO OWE HEY," we heard her voice bellow. She nearly tripped keeping pace with him.

"What the hell was that about?" I said curious.

"Don't even try to figure it out InuYasha," Kagome said and sighed deeply. One of two things it could only mean trouble, or Inuko is wanting to make a serious move with Hakura and Kikyko found out. Or she was the one who spread the rumor.

"Shut up, what did you hear?" he said to her as he pulled her into the library room. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it. She smiled and clasped her hands together.

"You want to marry Hakura right?" she said her voice filled with glee.

"I told no one but Kenta and Reno, how did you hear about this….? Hitoshi right? I'll kill him…" He said to her nervously. Kenta and Reno where Inuko's childhood best friends, they were wolf demon boys. Hitoshi was a human boy who was also Inuko's childhood friend, he's dating Kira and has been for a couple of years as well. Its no surprise he'd tell the boys first.

"Kenta and Reno are my friends too and their girlfriends are my friends too, and yeah…. Hitoshi told me…." Kikyko said again her voice excited.

"Oh god this is so embarrassing, I wasn't going to tell anyone in our family yet, I haven't even got the ring yet…" he said nervous. He touched his face and sighed deeply.

"So stupid," he said in a half whisper.

"Why is it stupid?" Kikyko said swaying on her feet.

"I haven't even talked to Uncle Miroku yet, I mean…. Kikyko have you any idea how nerve wracking this is?" he said moving from the door. He took in a deep breath and rubbed his head.

She smiled and touched her brother's shoulder.

"Do you want to marry Hakura Inuko?" she said to him.

"Yeah, I really do Kiki… she's so…. Beautiful, great, intelligent, she's so kind, and polite… and, gorgeous… I mean her hair and her eyes," he started to say his face turned a blush pink. Kikyko smiled and hugged her brother.

Hakura and Kira even though twins looked slightly different from eachother. Kira was more a tomboy and had shoulder length cropped hair, Hakura had long brown hair and a real girrly girl. Both look like younger versions of Sango.

"Then ask her to marry you brother," she said to him. He wrapped his arms around Kikyko and hugged her.

"I want too... but I have to talk to dad and Miroku first, that's kind of how it's supposed to be done," he said and pulled her from him.

"Uh why?" she said curious.

"I have to ask her father's permission to marry his daughter Kiki," he said and tapped her cheek.

She smiled and tears formed her in eyes.

"Hey you're not going to cry again are you, come on its nothing to cry about," he half shouted at her. I was about to knock on the door when I heard them. I leaned in towards the door.

"I'm not crying, I'm happy…. My big brother wants to marry his girlfriend of so many years, I mean… you grew up together," she said her voice almost a whisper. I heard this and smiled behind the door.

"Kiki, look… I need to plan this, I can't just ask her to marry me just like that, do you know how nervous I'd be. How nervous I am right now just thinking about it," he said to her. I chuckled and knocked on the door.

"It's probably dad, maybe he thought you murdered me," she said and I heard her voice laugh. That's when the door handle turned.

"No, I didn't think he murdered you, I was just worried he may have attempted too," I said and crossed my arms. They both looked at me. I looked over to Inuko who had a rosy expression on his face.

"Go help your mother with dinner," I said to Kikyko and tapped her face. She smiled and came around me. Inuko was about to follow her when I stopped him.

"So, we should talk to Miroku and Sango," I said to him. He looked at me surprised.

"You heard," he said and sighed deeply.

"Well yeah we were wondering when you'd pop the question, you two have been together for so long it's about time don't you think?" I said to him and tapped his shoulder.

"I'm so nervous, I haven't even got her a ring yet," he said again and sighed. I smiled at him and shook my head.

"That's why we should go to the office and talk to Miroku," I said to him. He gave me this expression of fear.

"Why are you worried?" I said to him.

"Because Miroku was the one who said he'd kill anyone who marries his daughters," he said again nervous. I laughed at his remark.

"Right, I'm sure he won't kill you, come on let's go out for a drive," I said to him. He took in a deep breath again and followed me down the hallway.

As we came through the hallway to the kitchen, I could hear Kikyko's voice in the kitchen.

"Aweeeeee, Mako spit up," she said.

"It's okay sweetie here I'll take her," Kagome said extending her hands for Mako. She took the towel from her should and rubbed it against Mako's mouth.

"Inuko and I are going out, we'll be back a little later, no need to wait up," I said to them coming around the counter. Kikyko snickered and giggled passing Mako to her mother.

"Okay, good luck Inuko," Kagome said to him.

"What, Kiki did you tell mom?" He half shouted at her. She giggled and clasped her hands together.

"It's about time bro don't you think?" Hoshiki said twirling on the bar stool chair. Inuko narrowed his eyes at him and grabbed the chair he was on and twirled it faster.

"AAAAH INUKO, STUPID," Hoshiki shouted at him.

"Inuko wait a minute," Kagome said to him. We both looked at her curious as she came around Kikyko to the living room, she reached in behind the bookshelf next to the tv and pulled out a box.

"Huh?" Inuko said as she came towards him.

"When you do ask her, give her this…." Kagome said to him. I took the box from her and opened it.

"Your grandmother's ring," Kagome said to him she bounced Mako in her arms.

"My…. Mother's ring, I gave this to you as an engagement ring," I said looking at the green opal ring weaved in a yellow diamond. My father bought this for my mother when he first meet her, she never took it off her finger even after he died. Before she died, she gave it to me to give to my wife. I smiled and turned the box to Inuko.

"I want it to stay in the family… and Hakura, should be the one to wear it…" Kagome said to him again. She smiled as Inuko took the box from me.

"Are you sure…." He said admiring the ring.

"Yes I'm sure…" she said to him, she touched his face and kissed his for head. Mako giggled.

"Thanks mom…. Dad are you sure this is okay?" he asked me. I smiled and sighed.

"Yes, I wouldn't have it any other way…. I gave it to your mother because I loved her and wanted to be with her for life, now… give it to Hakura," I said again and tapped his shoulder.

"Hahaha, we're going out," I said again and nudge Inuko's arm. He smiled and closed the box he put it in his jacket pocket. I touched his shoulder and pulled him to the hallway.

"Bye Inuko, good luck," Hoshiki shouted after us.

"Hehehehehe," we heard Kikyko's voice giggle as I closed the door behind us.


"Well how are you going to ask her?" I said to Inuko as we pulled out of the gate to our home.

"Uh well I'm not sure yet, maybe take her to dinner… I'm so nervous you have no idea; how did you ask mom to marry you?" he said to me. I looked over at him and lifted an eyebrow.

"Seriously, we were in a heated battle with Naraku, after it ended, I didn't realize your mother would return to her world, so we had a moment together still in the void, I asked her straight then. Then… the well appeared and she was gone," I said to him.

"Oh, yeah well that's not happening," Inuko said taking in another deep breath, I could tell he was nervous. He looked lost in thought. I smiled and didn't say anything on our way to the office.

"Huuuu," Inuko said as we pulled in to the office lot.

"Inuko really why are you so nervous?" I said and tapped his shoulder.

"Okay, I'm good…" he said composing himself. I chuckled as we opened the car door.

"No we need to have the images finalized before the end of the week Misha," Miroku said to our editorial assistant. Inuko and I came through the sliding doors. I waved at Miroku.

"Hey," he said to us.

"Hello sir," Misha said as she passed us holding papers in her hands. I nodded to her.

"Inuko hey nice to see you here," Miroku said to him. Inuko smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, InuYasha," Sesshomaru said coming through the sliding doors behind us. I turned and nodded to him.

"Inuko," Sesshomaru said to him.

"Hey…" he said again then took in a deep breath.

"Is something wrong?" Miroku said to Inuko noticing his expression. I smiled and sat down on the couch next to Sesshomaru.

"So Miroku, Inuko has something he'd like to say…" I said leaning forward towards him. Inuko took in a deep breath and sat down at a chair near the desk.

"Oh, everything okay Inuko?" Miroku said to him. I could tell from Miroku's half smile and his smug expression that he knew what was coming. He could read Inuko like a book so I assumed he figured it out already.

"Well see," Inuko said rubbing his head. I smiled and jumped in.

"See Miroku, Inuko's really nervous to ask, but I think he wants to marry Hakura," I jumped in. I stood up and came over to Miroku and looked at him.

"Huh, is that what this is about?" Miroku said crossing his arms.

"Yes sir, I… really want to marry Hakura, and I'd like to ask you for her hand….." Inuko was about to finish his words when Miroku interrupted him.

"So you decide to come here to the office to tell me this while I'm at work trying to finalize this week's magazine images, all to ask for my daughters hand in marriage?" Miroku said his voice sounded agitated. I looked at Miroku curious as to where this was going. Even Sesshomaru seemed confused he leaned forward and looked at Miroku as well.

"Uh, well I didn't know you were busy…. I kind of wanted you to know before I actually asked Hakura myself," Inuko said again nervous. I could tell because he kept rubbing his ears.

"You haven't asked Hakura yet?" Miroku said to him again.

"No, I wanted to maybe take her to dinner tomorrow night, and…. Ask her," Inuko said again. He sighed deeply.

Miroku smiled and chuckled.

"Hhahahaha, Inuko you should see your face, hahahahha, of course you can marry Hakura I was waiting for you to finally ask her gosh boy what took you so long," Miroku teased and stood up. I shook my head and looked at him as he came around the desk.

"So, you're not mad?" Inuko said standing up, Miroku grabbed him and hugged him.

"God no boy, we should all go out and celebrate," Miroku said to us. Inuko let out a deep breath and awkwardly threw out a smile.

"Celebrate, well I don't see why not, congratulations Inuko…" Sesshomaru said to him.

"Great news today," Miroku said and nodded.


"Aaah momma, but why can't I go to the carnival…" Kikyko's voice chimed. Hoshiki looked at her from the couch and rolled his eyes. He was going hard on some video game on the tv.

"Because Kikyko, the carnival is huge this year, you can't go to it alone, you can go with your brother, and whoever else you want to invite but not alone," Kagome said to her as she set the table. Kikyko crossed her arms and huffed.

"I also heard, your father grounded you for braiding your brother's hair," Kagome said to her and crossed her arms. Kikyko puffed out her cheeks and sighed deeply.

"Yeah but he was so cute," she said and crossed her arms.

"Cute, Kikyko you know he hates it when you braid his hair. I guess if your grounded then its up to your father if you can go out or not," Kagome said to her and set cups on the table.

"Not fair," Kikyko mumbled and huffed again.

"Kikyko stop complaining," Kagome said to her and turned to the glass cabinet.

"Fine," she said and went back to the kitchen to grab the salad and the rice. Kagome shook her head and followed her.

"Hehehehhee, hahahahhaha oh wow," Hoshiki's voice laughed from the living room. He paused his game and scrolled through is mother's phone.

"What's so funny Hoshi?" Kagome said to him. She rolled up her sleeves and put the bowls on the table. Hoshiki jumped off the couch and came towards them.

Instagram Post

"When the women are away the boys will play, out to a get together with our boy!" I posted a picture of all four of us with Inuko at a restaurant.

"Oh really," Kagome said looking at the picture. She took the phone from Hoshiki as he chuckled and climbed to the chair at the table.

Sango: Really when the women are away? Miroku sleeps outside tonight!

Kagome: I agree, maybe InuYasha should too.

Miroku: Hey ladies come on no need to be harsh, we're not at a nightclub or anything just celebrating with Inuko, I'll tell you later Sango.

InuYasha: Kagome already knows.

Shippou: What's happening? I don't get it… did something happen?

Kagome: Shippou you'll find out eventually, summer break is in a week, will you be coming home?

Shippou: Sure thing Kagome, can't wait.

Sango: How'd this conversation turn around from the boys sleeping outside to Shippou off from college summer break?

Kagome: Oh you know we can't really stay mad at the boys for long.

Sango: Yeah well I'm glad I don't have to worry about Koji and Yuki going out at night past curfew.

InuYasha: We have no curfew.

Kagome: Want to test your luck on that?

Kagome rolled her eyes and put the phone down on the table.

"Well let's eat seems your brother and father won't be home for a while," she said and sat down.

"Hahhaha they're celebrating, hey mom are we going to have a celebration too for Hakura and Inuko?" Hoshiki asked his mother. She smiled and touched his head.

"Of course we are, as soon as he asks Hakura to marry him," She said and looked over at Kikyko who was shoving rice into her mouth.

"She better say yes," she mumbled holding the bowl to her mouth. Kagome sighed and shook her head.

"Where did I go wrong with you?" she said and watched Kikyko fill her mouth with rice.


"Man what a night," I said as I came into the bedroom. It was already 1 am, I hadn't realized I kept Inuko out that late on a school night.

"Huh,"

Kagome was already asleep. I smiled and came over to Mako's bassinet.

"Huh?" I said noticing she wasn't there, I turned and looked at Kagome. She had her arms wrapped around her in bed. I smiled and went to the closet to change.

I carefully slid into bed next to Kagome as not to disturb her.

"Huh, Inu-Yasha," she said her voice a whisper. I leaned over her and kissed her cheek.

"It's 1am," she said touching Mako's hair.

"Sorry, we didn't keep track of the time, Inuko's home, he's gone to bed." I said to her.

"Did you boys have a good time?" she said to me. I pulled the sheets over her and rested my head against my arm looking at her.

"Yeah we did," I said to her.

"Good…" she said and closed her eyes. I smiled and came closer to Mako wrapping my arms around the both of them.

"Big sister," Hoshiki's voice half whispered at Kikyko's door.

She sleeps like a rock usually; she didn't even hear him at her door. He came into her room and to her bed.

"Kikyko," he said to her a little louder. She rolled over to her side.

"Sis can I sleep in your room?" he said to her again. He touched his hands to her arm and shook her.

"Hoshi get to bed," she mumbled at him.

"I can't sleep, I'm scared, there's a strange figure outside my bedroom window on my balcony," he said his voice filled with tension. Kikyko opened her eyes and looked at him. She sat up.

"A figure? Hoshi there's nothing to be afraid of, the house has a security alarm," Kikyko said to him.

"But what if it gets in?" he said nervous. She extended her arms out to him. He climbed into her bed.

"No one's going to get in Hoshi," she said and wrapped her arms around him.

"Don't worry dad's here, so is Inuko, and we have a really good security system…" she said pressing her head against his.

"Can I sleep with you?" he said to her his hands tightened around her, she looked at him. He was scared he seemed to tremble and kept looking out at Kikyko's large balcony window.

"Hoshi I'm here nothing will happen I won't let it," she said to him. He looked at her then to the window.

"I'll even show you," she said and pulled him from her. She slid out of bed and mad her way through her large room to the balcony doors.

"Sis don't open the doors," he said to her nervous.

"Hoshi don't worry no one's out there," Kikyko said holding her curtains in her hands.

She pulled the curtains apart and a hooded figure stood on her balcony railing looking at her.

"AAAAH," she screamed and closed the curtains shut. Hoshi ran to her.

"What the hell….." I said and jumped out of bed.

"What happened?" Kagome said sitting up in bed.

"Stay here," I shouted at her and ran out the bedroom.

"What happened?" Inuko came through Kikyko's room and to her and her brother. I ran in after him.

"There was someone a hooded figure outside on my balcony," she said holding Hoshiki to her chest.

"Where," I said and opened her patio doors. Inuko and I darted outside.

"Kikyko Hoshi are you both okay?" Kagome said coming to them.

"Were okay momma nothing happened we just saw a hooded figure outside," Kikyko said to her.

"No one's out there, whoever or whatever it was is long gone," I said as I jumped off the balcony railing and came in to her room again.

"Can we check the camera's?" Inuko said coming in after him.

"They're at Miroku's I'll check them tomorrow, everyone get back to bed, there's nothing to worry about," I said to everyone and closed Kikyko's patio doors locking them.

"I want to sleep with sister," Hoshiki said clinging to her.

"Why don't you come sleep with me buddy hm?" Inuko bent down to him.

Hoshiki let go of Kikyko and took Inuko's hand.

"Hey I don't want to sleep alone," Kikyko said standing up.

"Come on," Kagome said to her and wrapped her arm around her waist.

I looked at her patio again as they left her room.

"Hm, what was out there…."


"Mmmmm," Kikyko said in our bed, she curled up next to her sister. Kagome smiled and pulled Kikyko and Mako to her.

I slid in next to Kikyko.

"I like sleeping in your bed momma," she said to her.

"Haha, why?" Kagome said touching her hair.

"Its so big and comfy," she said and closed her eyes. I shook my head and turned off the lamp.

Morning came rather quickly maybe because I didn't sleep well all night, I couldn't stop thinking, I was worried and concerned about the figure that was on Kikyko's balcony. Many thoughts ran through my head. I tilted my head to the alarm clock near the lamp.

"7am," I said and sighed. I touched my face and reached for Kagome's cell phone.

I snapped a picture of us in bed together and chuckled.

Instagram Post

"When you have your girls in bed with you, its heaven…." I posted the picture with all four of us. I looked at Mako who was smiling in her sleep. I smiled and put the phone back down on the table.

Sango: AAAAAAAAHHHHH OMG THEY'RE TWINS!

Miroku: Kikyko and Makoto sleep alike and look so much alike, I just noticed this now.

Rin: PUPPIES OMG PUPPPIESSS….

Sango: I know PUPPIES, well Mako is a pup and Kikyko is a half pup, SSSSSOOOOOO CUTE!

(If anyone else calls my babies pups one more time, I swear you are no longer welcomed in our home.) I posted agitated.

Mama Higurashi: my girls so adorable together in bed. Look at how all three of them look so much alike.

Koga: OH MY GOD DEFINITELY PUPPIES!

(That's it everyone is banned!) I said angry. Where do they get off calling my babies puppies.

Ayame: So cute, I want to pinch their cheeks. Mako and Kikyko!

Rin: Draw hearts on their faces!

Sango: Why are you so mad InuYasha they are the most adorable girls ever, they are definitely alike and just so cute I want to cuddle both of them.

Miroku: InuYasha's just made because none of his daughters look like him and they both take from Kagome more in appearance.

Sango: They have his eyes though!

(Okay banned all of you!) I said and chuckled.

Rin: PUPPIES! (she said again, I sighed and grunted)

(Sesshomaru keep your women in line.)

Sesshomaru: How about I kick your ass next time I see you that'll keep you in line!

Rin: PUPPIESSS! (she threw in again)

"That's what I get for posting a picture, should've set it to no comments, teh," I said and rolled my eyes.

I sighed deeply and wrapped my arm around Kikyko.

"One more hour should work," I said and closed my eyes.
