More humor and more fun, the next chapter will have a huge plot twist and huge setting point for what's to come.
Chapter 23: Tuesday Afternoon 2pm
"Kago babe, what is all this…" I said pulling a towel to my shoulders, I buttoned up my dress shirt as I looked around the kitchen. I rubbed the towel over my ears and then tossed it to the hamper Kagome had started in the hallway.
"Oh they are going to be home in two hours and they'll be starving," she said bending in to the oven. She pulled out a cake then put another pan in to the oven and closed it. I looked at her butt as she bent down and smiled.
"Kago honey the kids probably ate, this food will feed an army…we only have four kids," I said looking at the counter. She had made mashed potatoes, a salad, corn salad, rolled sushi, she had a pot on the stove with Ramen bubbling and two small round cake pans cooling on the counter. I came over to the stove and took the lid off the pot, turning down the heat, I watched her as she chopped some carrots on the opposite counter.
"Oh god Mako will be starving…I pumped so much milk I don't even know if I have anything left…" she mumbled as she drank out of the milk carton, then she put it back on the counter. I watched her do this and shook my head.
"Don't know what your worried about your jugs are always full of milk, so big and plump," I teased her. She stopped chopping and looked at me.
"Stir the pot InuYasha!" she said to me sternly.
"Babe…. Really…." I said to her and crossed my arms.
"Your boobs are so…" I was about to come near her and pull her to me when, she held the knife up to the air.
"STIR THE POT!" she said again and waved the knife at me. I held my hands up to her and rolled my eyes then turned to the stove.
"Oh gosh I don't even know if these cakes will cool in time for me to decorate them…." She said looking at the clock on the wall over the mantel.
I shook my head and opened the drawer for a wooden spoon.
Instagram Post
"A BOY! ANOTHER BOY thank god it was a safe delivery, thank you to my brother… Ishikaro. We are more then thrilled!" a post by Koga went online. Ayame had finally gave birth to another son, which gives them three boys. Touya their oldest 19-year-old son, Yoshi their 13-year-old son and now their new baby. I saw Kagome's phone ping on the counter and picked it up.
"Kago, look…" I said reading the post. There was a picture of Kenta's father, Koga and Ayame in a hospital room with their newborn son. Kagome turned to me and looked at the pick.
"Oh my gosh wow! This is wonderful," she said and smiled. She took the phone from me. I smiled and returned to stirring the pot.
Kagome: CONGRATULATIONS OH MY GOODNESS ABOUT TIME!
Sango: Oh my god, Miroku and I are just pulling into our driveway and we saw this… congrates to the both of you he's so wonderful.
Shippou: Cool! Hey another boy… hahaha I was rooting for a girl for you both. Hey we finally moved in to our apartment, and it's really cool.

-End Post-
"Oh this is so wonderful, we can now finally see Ayame and Koga again, we haven't seen them in almost a year…" Kagome said as she put her phone down. I smiled and looked at her, I came around her and pulled my arms around her waist.
"Inu…. Stop it, the kids should be walking through that door soon…." She said and blushed.
"So its not like they've never seen us be affectionate before!" I said to her. That's when I heard a giggle behind me. I sighed deeply.
"See…" she said. We both turned around.
"Ki-ky-ko…." I said and looked at her. She had this big smile and had snapped a pick of us on her phone. She giggled and jumped in her spot.
"Come here!" I said to her. She came around the counter.
"Welcome home princess…" I hugged her. Kagome smiled and hugged her as well.
"Mom dad hi…" she giggled as we sandwiched her between us.
"Mmmm I missed you so much," Kagome said to her.
"MOM DAD!" Hoshiki's voice shouted as he ran through the door.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH WAIT, STOP ONE MINUTE…." I shouted at him noticing his hair had three small braids in them. I pointed at him in utter shock. He stopped and looked at us, he dropped his bag and had a scared expression on his face.
"WHAT IS THAT!" Kagome said also pointing at him. Kikyko giggled and came towards her brother.
"Oh… sis braided my hair, and I like it," he said running his hand through his hair, he smiled. He then laughed and ran to the stairs, Kikyko giggled and followed him.
"She… braided his hair," we both looked at each other and said this.
"Kagome honey Kikyko needs to bulk up more, she needs to eat more carbs and fatting food… she needs to build a curvy body…" Kagome's mother said coming around the kitchen island she had Makoto in her arms. Makoto giggled when she put her in her highchair.
"WOAH hang on a second here, what do you mean I need to feed her more… are you kidding me?" Kagome said. I looked at Kagome's mother in surprise. I checked over Makoto to make sure her grandparents did nothing to her. She was still the same. I turned my eyes to Kagome and her mother.
Kagome wiped her hands on her apron and huffed, she crossed her arms watching her mother as she came through our house putting grocery bags down on our kitchen floor.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH…" Kagome waved her hands in the air.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SPEND IN FOOD A WEEK ON THE FOUR OF THEM… WHY IS THERE MORE BAGS IN MY KITCHEN!" she said loudly to her mother. Kagome's mother came around the kitchen island and went to the living room to unload Makoto's baby bag. Kagome followed her.
"She's too thin honey, poor girl at so much on our trip, she needs to bulk up…how will a man look at her if she's so thin, her breasts haven't come in yet… she needs to be big and voluptuous like you were at her age," her mother said again.
"WAIT HANG ON A MINUTE HERE WHAT BREASTS?" I said in an agitated tone. What breasts, like hell she's getting those. I mean yeah Kagome had big breasts when I meet her and she's still does but she was also 15. Don't get me wrong her boobs totally turned me on, but Kikyko… hell no!
"I send my kids out with you and dad for three days… you send my children back damaged, my son has braids in his hair and my daughter needs to bulk up…" Kagome argued with her mother. They came around the kitchen island towards the bedrooms in our main level. I looked at Makoto she giggled and talked to her giraffe.
"Wait, hey I'm missing one… hey excuse me, you came back with one less…" I said noticing Inuko wasn't with his grandparents. Kagome's mother came around the partition again when I said this, I crossed my arms and looked at her as Kagome followed her, I was about to ask her again when the kids grandfather came through the door with bags in his hands, Makoto laughed in her highchair when I came around the counter to help him.
"Oh Inuko, he found Hakura in your driveway…" their grandfather said. Kagome was following her mother around the house still arguing with her.
I rolled my eyes when he said this and chuckled.
"What did you two do to my children, you let Kikyko braid her brother's hair." I said to Kagome's mother as she came around us again. She was inspecting Kagome's food on the counter.
"Nevermind…" I said helping Kagome's father unload the bags he brought on to the living room table. Kagome's father looked to his wife and daughter squabbling and laughed.
"Mother my food is fine…" she said to her mother.
"Mmmm needs a little more butter," Kagome's mother said testing the mashed potatoes. She turned around to the fridge looking for the butter.
"IT DOESN'T NEED MORE BUTTER MOTHER…" Kagome huffed and threw her hands in to the air.
I shook my head and came over to the counter, I pulled Makoto's highchair to the living room so she wouldn't end up caught somewhere in the middle of their squabble. Maybe end up with mashed potatoes on her somewhere if this ended up turning into a cat fight. I thought about that and laughed.
"Don't worry your children are fine…" Kagome's father said this and laughed, he stroked Makoto on the head and picked up one of the bags off the table. He smiled at me and came around her to the patio doors. He had brought so much meat with him; he was preparing them outside for the barbecue. I looked at him as he closed the door, Hoshiki was outside already with Koji and Yuki. They saw him and followed him to the barbeque. I sighed and turned my eyes to Makoto.
"At least your still normal…." I asked her. She looked at me and held giraffe out to me, she then giggled.
"PAPA!" she said and laughed. I smiled and kissed her head.
"Inuko…" Hakura said in the driveway, he picked her up and twirled her around then kissed her.
"I missed you!" he mumbled.
"MMmm…. I did too," she giggled and kissed him again.
"You knotty knotty girl, sending me seductive pictures like that…. Your lucky we haven't moved in together yet and that I have a lot of patience… I'd be all over you right now," he half whispered to her. She giggled and pulled her arms around his neck.
"Hehhehehe…. Mmm can't wait, three days pup and I'm all yours," she giggled again, he held his arms around her waist and kissed her.
"If you two are done making out in the driveway there are people with cars who'd like to park…." Kikyko said coming out of the garage. Inuko growled at her while kissing Hakura. She giggled and pulled her arms from Inuko's neck.
"Get lost Kikyko!" Inuko said to his sister he looked at her and let go of Hakura.
"Uncle Sesshomaru's right there…" she said and pointed to his car. Inuko looked at the car and pulled Hakura aside. Kikyko giggled as they pulled in.
"Well we were wondering when you two would come up for air… we're having dinner at your parent's tonight are you two joining us or will we serve you your meal out here while you're making out," Miroku laughed hard at the two of them. Inuko rolled his eyes and huffed.
"Hey not funny!" Inuko said to his uncle. Sesshomaru heard this and closed his car door. He laughed and shook his head coming towards the kids.
"Hahaha, Inuko.. Kikyko!" Sesshomaru said to the both of them. Hakura smiled and waved to Rin as she laughed coming around the car. Sesshomaru took Rin's hand, they passed Inuko and Hakura to the house. Miroku laughed and followed them.
"Kikyko…" Yamatoo said coming towards her. She looked at him and blushed.
Inuko smiled at his sister when he saw her rosy expression. He turned to Hakura and touched her face again, she giggled and kissed him.
"INUKO AND HAKURA SITTING IN A TREE…" Kikyko started. Yamatoo laughed as she turned for the house, he followed her.
"SHUT UP KIKYKO…" he shouted after his sister.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G…" she shouted then the door slammed.
"I seriously want to kill her…" Inuko said to Hakura.
"Mmmm…Not now pup!" she said and pulled her arms around his neck again and kissed him.
"Oh wow Kagome this is so much food," Sango said helping her in the kitchen.
"Yeah well my mother nitpicked everything I'm making…" Kagome said as she licked the icing from the piping bag. She put it down and picked up another piping bag over the cake and started creating a design. Sango laughed and did the same to the other cake.
"Kagome where is your salt, these noodles need more salt," her mother said to her. She lifted a noodle off the spoon and tested it. Kagome rolled her eyes and mumbled.
"Mom the boys can't have salt that's why I don't salt my food!" Kagome huffed and turned to her mother. Sango laughed, as Rin came towards them. She smiled and watched the squabble unfold between Kagome and her mother again.
"Hahhaha… they did what?" I said outside with Kagome's father, Miroku joined us on the south facing patio as we lit the barbeque, Inuko's friends and their girlfriends were coming over with an announcement, I knew what it was…. Wasn't surprised to say the least it was about time. Shippou and Yukiko where joining us too while Kohaku and Magumi were driving in from Osaka to join us as well.
We had some news to share too and we wanted to make sure our whole family gathered before we told everyone about our twins. My house was definitely going to be full tonight.
"Seriously Hoshiki is such a mischievous boy, he sure loves to pick on his sister…" their grandfather said to me. I laughed at this, no surprise on that part.
"Kikyko…" Yamatoo said coming through our loud and noisy living room. The boys were at the TV video gaming, Kira was helping the women in the kitchen and Hitoshi was on the phone with Kenta and Reno in the dining room area.
"Yes… we should talk," she said to him. Sesshomaru noticed Kikyko come outside with Yamatoo near us. I turned my head to them as they came around the house towards the shed.
"Huh!" I said watching them.
"InuYasha…" Sesshomaru said to me. Miroku and Kagome's father started grilling some meat on the barbeque I looked at them then to Sesshomaru who gestured his hand for me to follow him.
"What…" I said to him and followed him around the house.
"We should talk!" he said to me. I crossed my arms curious as to what he wanted to say.
"Kikyko," Yamatoo said leaning against the backside of the shed. Kikyko looked at him and pushed her hair behind her ear. She blushed and turned her eyes to the ground.
"I don't want you to go to Kyoto…" she said to him. He sighed and looked at her.
"Kikyko… what I said to you I meant, when I told you I cared for you deeply and that I really wanted to be with you I meant it…." He said touching her face. She blushed and didn't look at him.
"I know…. I didn't realize my feelings then and I was naive and stupid… I'm sorry," she said again.
"Kikyko..." he started to say to her. She turned her eyes to him and blushed again.
"Here me out please..." she said in almost a whisper. He pulled his hand from her face and looked at her.
"….I thought… you know out of the kindness of my heart I could maybe change… Hero and turn him good and….if I did that he'd want to be with me," Kikyko started to say. Yamatoo sighed and crossed his arms, listening to her.
"…but this… camping trip…he made me realize, he… he used me and didn't even care for me…" she said and diverted her eyes to the ground again.
"I'm sorry Yamatoo I didn't return your feelings…I do care for you as well, and I realize this now…if you…still want to leave to Kyoto I understand…I thought maybe…we could go out somewhere sometime and maybe get some ice cream," she said again , her face was still rosy, she held her hands to her face nervous. Yamatoo looked at her and touched her face, he turned her face to him.
"Are you asking me on a date!" he said to her and smirked.
"Uhh, something like that…" she stuttered out nervous. He smiled and leaned forward to her.
"I will ask your father first…. because that is the proper way to do it…regardless if it is a date, I will do my part and ask him," he said to her. Kikyko blushed and her eyes locked to his. He blushed as well and pulled his hand from her face.
"So you going to kiss her or what? She's not getting any younger…" Hoshiki's voice boomed from the opposite side of the shed.
"Huh, HOSHIKI!" Kikyko shouted at her brother. He and the boys where spying on them, they peered around the shed and laughed running away.
"Oh the nerve of that boy…" Kikyko huffed watching the boys as they ran back to the house.
Yamatoo laughed and shook his head.
"What's so funny… hey it's not funny my brother is so …." Kikyko was about to finish her words when Yamatoo came towards her, he touched his hands to her face.
"Uhh…" Kikyko blushed.
"I would love to take you somewhere special Kikyko…" he said to her. She blushed and held a hand to her mouth.
"Okay…" she said breathless. Yamatoo smiled as he was just about to lean forward to kiss Kikyko the lights in our house and outside went out suddenly.
"Huh!" Kikyko said diverting her eyes to the house. She feared the dark she leaned closer to Yamatoo. He noticed this and held her close to him.
"What happened..." Yamatoo said looking around the yard.
"KIKYKO!" I yelled for her. I was worried she was in the dark with Yamatoo, and Kikyko and the dark don't work well.
"What happened?" Miroku said looking around the house.
"Ah sorry everyone we blew a fuse, we plugged in too many things at once..." Kagome said from the house. I turned my eyes to her as she held a flashlight and turned to the hallway. After a few moments the lights came on.
"Huh strange!" Kikyko said and looked at Yamatoo. He laughed and tapped her face.
"Nothing to worry about…" he said to her, Kikyko blushed again and looked away.
"Well that's what happens when you let women cook in one kitchen," Miroku said to us. I looked at him then back to the direction Kikyko and Yamatoo went. I watched the shed not realizing Sesshomaru was still talking to me.
"INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru said to me. I turned my eyes to him.
"My answer is no!" I said to him.
"That is not your choice to decide, Yamatoo cares for Kikyko…" Sesshomaru said to me.
"She's 14, my daughter so yes… it is for me to decide, my answer is no and that's it! End of discussion," I said to him agitated. There was no way in hell I would let Kikyko date her cousin, I don't care if he loved her, he's her cousin and it wasn't going to happen. Not while I'm alive.
"Will you allow Yamatoo to say his piece please…" Sesshomaru said again. I held my hand up to him.
"I don't think you heard me Sesshomaru, I said no. You can pass that on to your son, if he chooses to return to Kyoto that is his choice... so be it, Kikyko will not date him," I said to him again. I was about to turn around to return to the barbeque when Sesshomaru came around me stopping me.
"Your daughter is my niece and I care for her as such, we have never seen eye to eye, regardless I am still your brother… you need to allow this to happen because if you don't, it'll happen behind your back without you even knowing….is that what you want InuYasha… how will you go about that?" Sesshomaru said to me in a loud stern voice. I looked at him agitated and crossed my arms.
"I have nothing more to say! You know my answer," I said and came around him.
"We… should head back to the house," Kikyko said to Yamatoo, she blushed and didn't look at him.
"Oh?" he said holding her close to him. She blushed and kept her eyes elsewhere.
"Excuse me!" she said nervous, she pulled herself away from Yamatoo, he let her go and smiled.
"Let's return to the house, I hear Inuko's friends…. their scent picked up in the air," Yamatoo said to her. Kikyko blushed and nodded.
"Your….not going to kiss me?" she blushed and held a hand to her mouth. Yamatoo looked at her curious. He came towards her again and touched her face.
"Excuse me…" he said turning her face to him.
"Ohhh I'm sorry it just came out….I don't know what I'm saying…" she said frantic. He smiled and leaned forward. He pressed his lips to hers. Kikyko lifted her arms around Yamatoo's neck and stood up on to her toes. He smiled and kept his lips to hers.
"Yes... I have wanted to kiss you for a long time," he said in almost a whisper to her. Kikyko blushed when he said this, she leaned forward to kiss him again. He smiled and pressed his lips to hers.
"Would you please go get your sister… she went to the shed with Yamatoo!" I said to Inuko as he and his friends came towards us laughing. I was really becoming worried and concerned, he was her cousin, and I didn't want any form of relationship to happen.
"Huh, oh yeah okay!" Inuko said to me. I grunted and mumbled as he and the boys came around me. I turned my eyes to the shed frustrated. I really don't like this, I don't want Kikyko with Yamatoo. But Sesshomaru's words resonated in my mind…what if she does see him without me knowing. I have to think about this. Do I accept it….do I let my 14 year old daughter date her 23 year old cousin? I'm so conflicted.
"Well well will you lookie here... what is this?" Reno's sarcastic voice said near Kikyko and Yamatoo. Kenta chuckled and tapped his brother's shoulder. They both laughed.
"If you two are done making out… dinner is ready," Inuko laughed and teased them.
"Huh ahhh!" Kikyko shouted. Yamatoo let go of Kikyko and stepped away from her. Kikyko blushed and held her hands to her face.
"Excuse me!" Yamatoo said, he looked at the boys and nodded to them. He came past Kenta back towards the house. Kenta looked at him and chuckled.
"Wooo hooo what was that!" Kenta said to Kikyko he turned his eyes back to her. Kikyko blushed and said nothing.
"Hahaha Kikyko and Yamatoo, since when?" Reno said touching her head. She held her hands to her face. She turned around away from the boys.
"SHUT UP, GO AWAY!" she said embarrassed.
"Hahah come on, let's go eat!" Inuko said to her. She turned around and looked at the boys her face still rosy.
"Ooh I'm so embarrassed," she said coming towards her brother. He pulled his arm around her shoulders and kissed her head.
"Don't worry we won't say a word…" he said and chuckled. The boys laughed as they made their way back to the house.
We all gathered in our yard, the entire yard was full and booming. Shippou and Yukiko had arrived and were sharing pictures with us of their new apartment. Magumi and Kohaku where laughing with Sango and Miroku as they shared stories of their family adventure. Inuko and Hakura where with their friends laughing and teasing each other. Kikyko was very quiet the whole night, I barely heard anything from her. She didn't converse with Inuko or their friends, she didn't join her mother and grandparents as they held Makoto on the ground trying to teach her to walk, while Nina, Hoshiki, Koji and Yuki where chasing Kirara in the yard. She just stood near us her face rosy, she was looking at Yamatoo the whole time. He was with Inuko and his friends as well talking with them.
"Kikyko!" I said to her trying to gain her attention. She didn't hear me. She seemed distracted, dazed. Rin looked at Kikyko and smiled. She giggled and rubbed her stomach, she turned to Sesshomaru as he passed her a plate, he shook his head at her. Rin tapped Sesshomaru's face and returned to the table where Kagome and Sango were.
"What is this I'm hearing InuYasha…." Miroku said coming towards me. He could see Kikyko's rosy face and her distracted disposition.
"What?" I said to him and Sesshomaru as they stood near me at the barbeque.
"Kikyko and Yamatoo…. everyone is talking," Miroku said to me touching my shoulder. I looked at Kikyko and then to Yamatoo.
"No nothing is going on between them… don't ask me again!" I said and turned to the barbeque. Miroku leaned in closer to me. I refused to believe they wanted to be together, I'm still conflicted, a part of me wants to intervein and stop it, and a part of me doesn't want Kikyko to hate me because of it to a point she'd never speak to me again. That would be the worst, loosing my daughter over my own arrogance and selfishness, towards her and Yamatoo.
"Don't try to stop it InuYasha we all know this was going to happen…" Miroku said tapping his hand to my shoulder. I looked at him and then to the barbecue again. I saw Sesshomaru look at us, he stepped back away from me and returned to his wife.
"Shut it!" I said to him. Miroku smiled. I respect Miroku a lot, I respect his wisdom, his strength and his spirituality, I sighed and poked the stake with a knife.
"I wish nothing more for Kikyko then her happiness…don't you too want that for your daughter!" Miroku said to me and tapped my shoulder again. He turned around to his wife, he was about to turn to his wife and join her at the table, when I stopped him.
"I understand you Miroku, but Kikyko was brokenhearted and hurt by…. A panther, a boy who didn't even love her," I started to say. Miroku nodded and touched my shoulder again.
"Yamatoo is good for her, he'll make her stronger, make her grow even more powerful and make her happy…even you know this, she is your daughter and you worry about her, I also understand this… I have daughters as well. But allow it to happen InuYasha, as her god father, I will bless their relationship to be a strong and happy one..." he said and passed me. I looked at him as he returned to the table.
I do want Kikyko happy more then anything in this world, and I do worry about her… I'm so protective of her…I always worry no man can protector her or take care of her like the princess she is, I have standards and… Yamatoo….lives up to my standards. I sighed and thought about it Miroku's words.
"KIKYKO…." Inuko shouted for her. Everyone laughed, they turned and looked at her, she held her eyes to the ground her face was still rosy.
"Huh!" she said she turned her eyes to her brother.
"Why don't you come join us?" Kenta said extending his hand to her. Kikyko looked at them as they gathered near the glass doors. I saw this and sighed as she went over to them.
Kenta reached for her as she came towards them. He laughed with the guys and pulled his arm around Kikyko, Rika did the same.
"What do I do…" I said to myself and turned to the barbecue again.
"InuYasha, my love… are you okay?" Kagome said behind me. I didn't even notice her or see her move from the table. I turned to her and smiled. She held Makoto in her arms, she was sucking on her baby bottle. I leaned forward and kissed Makoto on the head.
"I'm fine… nothing to worry about!" I said to Kagome and pulled my arm around her. She smiled at me as we returned to the table with everyone.
Kikyko looked at everyone and held her hand to her mouth her face still rosy. Yamatoo looked at her and smiled.
"So Kikyko tomorrow wake up bright and early we have so much we need to do," Hakura said to her. Inuko chuckled and pulled his arm around Hakura's shoulders.
"Huh?" Kikyko said distracted.
"Oh yeah… oh gosh," Kikyko then said when she realized what Hakura said to her. Everyone laughed.
"Hahhaha my maid of honor is required in tip top shape, so you and Kira… bright and early tomorrow!" Hakura said waving a hand in the air and nodding. Kira looked at her and shook her head.
"There is no way I'm waking up early for you sis, I've spent three days with you…" Kira teased her sister.
Everyone laughed. Kikyko blushed again and held her hand to her mouth without words. Yamatoo looked at her and then turned his eyes to us.
"Excuse me!" Kagome said standing up. She tapped her glass with a fork. Inuko turned his eyes to his mother, everyone turned around to us.
I knew what she wanted to say, I smiled and touched her head. She smiled and looked at me, she let out a deep breath.
The kids came towards us. Kikyko still looked dazed, but she lifted her eyes to her mother and let out a deep breath.
"I have some news to share," Kagome said to everyone. Her parents smiled, her father had Makoto on his lap, she was still sucking on a bottle.
"We uhh…" I rubbed my head nervous.
"I did an ultrasound yesterday, for those of you who don't know… which is probably no one, I am pregnant again and yesterday…. I found out…." she held up the sonogram near her face and smiled.
"Kagome let me see that?" her father said leaning forward. She extended the sonogram to her father.
"Wait.. hang on a second…" he said holding it up to the air. Kagome's mother leaned forward and looked at it as well. Her father turned it around and examined it closely.
"Are.. you having twins?" her father said again holding the sonogram to the air, he had this wide eyed shocked expression to his face. Kagome's mother held her hands to her mouth. Everyone looked shocked, Shippou was smiling and looked like he was about to jump in excitement. Hoshiki and the boys laughed they too looked excited.
"Yes! We're having twins…" Kagome said to everyone.
"Hahaha wow," Shippou said excited, he came towards us with Yukiko.
"Kagome…" her mother said and stood up she came towards us. Everyone clapped and cheered for us. I heard glasses clank and everyone cheering.
"Oh this is wonderful," Kagome's mother said to us. Kagome hugged her and smiled.
"Hahahahaha wow mom's having two this time, that's kind of scary… Hey Kikyko if we end up with two of you…" Hoshiki said to his sister. She didn't seem to realize what was happening its as if she was in some sort of trance. I looked at her rosy expression, she even ignored her brother.
"Huh?" she said to Hoshiki. He came towards her and smiled.
"Stupid what are you daydreaming, mom said she's having twins dummy," Hoshiki said to her again. Kikyko huffed and crossed her arms.
"Hey stop it Hoshiki," Kikyko huffed at him. He ran from her when she was about to hit him again. Kagome laughed watching them squabble. The entire night we celebrated, everyone was cheerful happy and excited.
Hoshiki teased his sister who seemed to have come out of her daze, Nina was looking at Hoshiki also with a rosy expression on her face. I am beginning to wonder if there's a full moon or something, what is this are all my children falling in love all of a sudden or is it just me, and I'm too blind to notice this? Seriously am I loosing my touch, I always know what my children are doing all the time, but now Hoshiki what the hell boy.
Nina would look at Hoshiki he would smile at her and stand there all smug adjusting his tie and talking to her. Her rosy expression gave everything away, I really think its time for me to have a talk with that boy!
As the night dwindled down, Kenta and Reno took their mother, baby brother and sister home that night. They too where celebrating Reno's engagement to Hitomi. Another party was going to be thrown at their parents' home in a couple of weeks. I looked over to Inuko and Hakura, she was sitting on his lap holding a drink in her hand, they were laughing and talking. I came around them and smiled, Kagome's parents had left about the same time Kenta and Reno did. I came towards Kagome and Sango. Shippou was with them telling them about their apartment. I looked around and noticed Hoshiki and the boys in our living room crashed out in front of the TV on the couches, I shook my head and chuckled at this.
I looked around the yard and noticed Kikyko and Yamatoo weren't around anywhere, I looked to the shed again. I saw his shadow near the opposite side of the house by the south patio. I sighed again. Sesshomaru and Rin came towards us, I think he was trying to distract me again. He touched a hand to my shoulder. I looked at him as they too were telling us about Kyoto.
"I was thinking…" Yamatoo said to Kikyko. She looked at him with a rosy expression. He smiled at her and touched a hand to her face.
"Oh?" she blushed and said this.
"Well… there's this restaurant I'd like to take you too, maybe after your morning events with Hakura," Yamatoo started to say when he noticed Inuko come towards them. He turned his gaze to them.
"What restaurant…why not join us tomorrow?" Inuko said to his sister and Yamatoo. Hakura smiled at her. She was still looking at Yamatoo, she pushed her hair behind her ear and blushed again.
"Oh…like… a double date?" Kikyko said, she diverted her eyes over to us then to Hakura who was trying to get her attention. She was still in a daze and didn't seem to comprehend anyone's words. Inuko laughed and shook his head.
"Kikyko..." she said to her and laughed.
"Silly girl… yes like a double date. Wake up at 5AM we are going to this adorably cute little café, Yamatoo dress up… and she like's roses and bell-flowers," Hakura said grabbing Kikyko by the hand. She pulled her to her side and wrapped her arm around her. Yamatoo shook his head at Hakura.
"Huh oh like what?" Kikyko said as Hakura pulled her to the glass doors. Hakura laughed so hard, Kikyko still wasn't comprehending anything. Kira and Hitoshi where inside pulling blankets over the boys, Hakura opened the doors and joined them.
"Are you okay with us coming to your date?" Yamatoo said to Inuko.
"My father is having a hard time with this relationship, your father told him about you and Kikyko, and he will accept it… eventually, my father will accept it. Your father told him it wasn't his choice to decide for Kikyko who to be with. So if we double date, dad will let her go out…so join us tomorrow morning, shops don't open until 10AM, so we have nothing to do in the morning." Inuko said to Yamatoo. Yamatoo thought about it for a moment.
"Alright… I will drop by tomorrow," he said to Inuko. He was about to turn to leave when Inuko touched a hand to his shoulder.
"Yamatoo!" Inuko said to him.
"Yes?" Yamatoo said, he looked over to Kikyko again, then to Inuko.
"My sister…she's the princess of the family, my father is very protective of her, please… take good care of her when she is with you, " he said to him. Yamatoo nodded to Inuko.
"With my life!" he said to him. Inuko smiled and nodded, he turned to the glass doors to join everyone inside. Yamatoo gazed at Kikyko again, then looked at his father and Rin. He came around the house towards them.
I pulled the blanket over Hoshiki, the boys were spending the night in his room. Sango and Miroku left with their girls a little after Sesshomaru and Rin did close to 11PM. I looked over at the boys as they sprawled along his bed. I covered them up and smiled. I slightly closed his bedroom door behind me and headed down the hallway to our room, Kagome was in our room with Makoto, she was talking to her and pacing in the room trying to put her to sleep. I smiled and turned to Inuko's room, I looked at him through his slightly opened door, he was on his bed sending messages to Hakura. I smiled at this.
"Ohhhh how lovely," I heard Kikyko in her room. I knocked on her door.
"Huh oh… come in!" she said, her door was slightly opened. I opened it and I noticed her holding the vase in her hands.
"Daddy did you get me roses?" she said smelling them. I nodded. I watched her expression as she smiled and smelled them again.
"Do you like them princess?" I said to her. She smiled and put the vase down, she started adjusting the flowers in the vase.
"Kikyko, can we talk?" I asked her, I closed her door behind me and came around her. I pulled her chair out from her vanity and sat down.
"Mmhmm," she said looking at the flowers, she lifted a rose to her face and smelt it again. She came around me and sat down at the edge of her bed.
"Princess…look... I know Yamatoo really likes you, and I know he's been coming around every night to watch over you, but….I just… need to say something," I said to her. I wasn't sure how to talk to her about this, I was nervous, and most of all worried. Worried she'd fall in love with Yamatoo, and they….marry! She can never conceive with him, and Kikyko has always wanted a family.
"Hmm…" Kikyko said looking at the flower again. I touched my hand to her face to get her attention.
"I will…" I sighed deeply.
"I will allow you to see him, I cannot stop you, but please….be cautious," I said to her. She smiled and put her rose down on the bed.
She jumped at me and hugged me.
"I love you daddy, and I don't want you to be upset with me…I really do like Yamatoo, I didn't notice this at first…but now I do, and….I do like him," she said her arms wrapped around my neck. I sighed and pulled her to my lap.
"You, are my princess… and you are so special to me….the thought of my 14 year old princess dating…" I started to say. I sighed again. She pressed her cheek to my face.
"Daddy….please don't worry about me, Yamatoo is a good person…he would never hurt me in anyway," she said looking at me.
"I know he won't princess, I just…want you to be cautious," I said and hugged her. She giggled and kissed my cheek.
"Thank you!" she said and pulled herself off my lap. I smiled and watched her as she went to her closet.
"Good night princess," I said to her and got up. I left her room and closed the door. I went down the hallway to our room.
"The boys are…." I started to say coming into our room. Kagome jumped me and kissed me.
"Uhh," I said and pulled her from me.
"You are the best father ever InuYasha, I know how hard this is for you…Yamatoo and Kikyko. I was worried you were going to yell at her and not accept their relationship," Kagome said to me. I pulled her arms from around my neck.
"I'm not happy with it, but I can't stop her," I said coming to the closet.
Kagome's hands touched my back.
"They are good together InuYasha, better than her and Hero…that panther wants her life, he's scared of her power and is threatening to strike us, I want my 14 year old daughter safe, and protected, and Yamatoo will take good care of her…" she said to me. I sighed and turned to her.
"I do too and I want her happy, and I will never ever let those panthers near her… or you, or my family…" I said to Kagome. I touched her face and as I was about to lean in to kiss her, I saw Makoto crawling towards us.
"She's….crawling?" I said and looked at her. Kagome turned her eyes to Makoto.
"SHE'S CRAWLING MAKOTO…." Kagome shouted excited. I rolled my eyes, she came towards Makoto and picked her up.
"AAHAHHAHAH AHAH!" Makoto laughed as Kagome kissed her face.
"Ooooh when did you learn to crawl, ohhhhh my little baby girl," Kagome said to her and kissed her again.
I smiled and took Makoto from her.
"Why aren't you in bed you little pup huh?" I said and threw her to the air. I brought her to my face and kissed her. Makoto giggled and laughed.
"Oooh she's crawling," Kagome said again, she followed me as I brought Makoto to our bed.
Kagome crawled into bed, I put Makoto down and started to tickle her.
"AHA HAHA AHAHHA!" she'd laugh and push my hand away from her.
"Huh why aren't you asleep yet, tell me pup…" I said to Makoto tickling her again.
"AHA AHAHAH AHAHA, PAPA PAPA!" she shouted at me. Kagome laughed and leaned forward kissing her.
"Oooh is your daddy tickling you, come on fight him off, tell him no stop daddy!" Kagome said watching Makoto as she would laugh and push my hand away from her.
"Grr grrr," I heard Makoto say she then laughed. I laughed at her and tickled her again.
"AHA ahahahha!" she laughed.
"Get to sleep! It's way past your bedtime," I said to her, and stopped tickling her. Makoto stopped laughing and looked at me.
"Grr grrr," Makoto said holding up her hands at me. I laughed.
"You have no claws pup," I said to her. I held my claws up over her, she growled again.
"Ohhhh so that's it huh, your trying to fight me off is that it, well then..." I said and picked her up. She held her hands out to me again.
I held her to the air over me. She struggled and started to laugh.
"GGRRR GRRR!" she would say her hands tried to reach for me.
"Nope, not working!" I said to her and laughed. Kagome smiled and got up from the bed, she hummed to herself and went to the vanity, she sat down and started to brush her hair.
"Nope pup try again!" I said to her as she tried to reach for me. She would laugh and growl, her hands would stretch out to me as if she's trying to reach me. I kept her to the air over me, and chuckled.
"Grrr grrr!" Makoto shouted again. I laughed and brought her down to my face. She'd laugh when I kissed her face. Kagome laughed at her vanity.
Wednesday Morning 5AM….
"Aaah damn!" I said outside. I was trying to empty the shed so Miroku and Sesshomaru and I could move it today, so we had more room for the stage. I moved boxes around trying to figure out what we needed and what we didn't need.
"Ah, Kikyko cleaned this last time and there's still so much in here..." I said looking at the top shelf I reached for it. That's when I heard someone near the shed.
"You can come in Yamatoo…." I said picking up his scent. He came around the shed door and stood near it.
I turned to him and tapped my hands together.
"Good morning," I said and huffed. I let out a deep breath. Yamatoo nodded to me.
"Good morning!" he said.
"I hear you guys are going to a café, sounds interesting," I said to him, I picked up the box on the floor in front of me and took it outside. Yamatoo stepped aside and watched me.
"I was here to…" he started to say he sounded nervous.
"Look, I'm not okay with this, but I won't go against it. If you want to see Kikyko I just need you to know something..." I said and turned to him. I crossed my arms and smiled at him.
"Yes!" Yamatoo said cautiously. I smiled, he seemed nervous and worried I was going to lose it on him. I wasn't.
"Kikyko is special to me, very very special…she is the princess of this family and we… treat her as such," I said and came around him again. He moved aside and turned to me as I came back to the shed. I reached for another box.
"Her curfew is 9PM no longer, and absolutely no sex, I'm serious…we're demons, we sometimes can't control our urges, if she ends up pregnant out of wedlock, I will kill your ass," I said and chuckled. Yamatoo blushed and looked away.
"I wasn't planning on it..." he said to me quickly.
"Protect her and take care of her when she is with you…that's all I ask," I said to him. He let out a deep breath and rubbed his head. I turned to him and chuckled.
"You should see yourself hahahaha I wasn't going to lose my shit on you don't worry!" I said to him, I came around him and tapped his shoulder.
"AAAAAHHHHH WHYYY…" I heard Kikyko's voice in the house. I sighed.
"And another thing…. she's always late," I sighed and shook my head. Yamatoo looked at me and then to the house.
"IT'S 5:15 HOW DID THAT HAPPEN…." Kikyko said running downstairs. She held an elastic to her mouth and ran to through the living room.
"Stupid we haven't left yet, and Hoshiki unplugged your alarm clock!" Inuko said in the kitchen. He watched his sister as she frantically ran around the living room ignoring him. He took a sip from his cup and watched her.
"Huh wait what?" Kikyko said after a few minutes.
"AAAHHH THAT LITTLE STUPID PUP, UNPLUGGED…. OOOOOHHH WHEN I GET HOME!" she said and huffed. Inuko laughed at her and shook his head.
"So if your done looking for…whatever it is your looking for…" Inuko said coming around the counter.
"MY PURSE… aahhhh I can't find it," she said to him, she lifted up the couch cushions.
Inuko sighed, he came over to the closet in the hallway and reached for her purse. She left it in the closet during the party and forgot about it.
"You mean this?" he said to her. She turned around and looked at him.
"Yes that one!" she giggled and reached for it, Inuko held it up away from her.
"Button up your shirt, I'm your brother… I don't need to see your….you know things," he said gesturing to his chest. Kikyko looked at her shirt.
"AAAH!" she said and turned around. He laughed hard at her.
"About time!" Hakura said in the driveway. Inuko came towards her.
"Good morning!" he said to her, she smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Oh god if this ride ends up with you two making out, I'm going too…." Kikyko started to say, she turned her eyes past Kira who was leaning against the car. Her cheeks blushed when she noticed Yamatoo.
"Hahhahaha," Hakura and Kira laughed noticing this.
"Good morning," Yamatoo said to us as he came towards us.
Kira nudged Kikyko.
"Uh oh good morning," she said to him. He smiled at her.
"Well let's get going! Yamatoo follow behind us," Inuko said to him. Yamatoo turned to him and nodded.
Kira reached for the car door.
"Uhh," Kikyko said, she was just about to open the door of Inuko's car when Kira nudged her.
"Ride with Yamatoo!" she whispered at her.
"Oh…. Uhh!" Kikyko said, Yamatoo smiled at her and extended his hand towards his car. Kikyko smiled and followed him.
"Hahahha oh so cute!" Hakura said near Inuko. Inuko smiled watching his sister near Yamatoo's car, Hakura giggled as she opened the door and got in.
Kikyko blushed as she reached for the seatbelt. Yamatoo looked at her.
"You look nice," he said to her. She turned her face and blushed.
"Uh thanks!" she said quickly, he smiled and started the car.
"I hope you don't mind music," he said to Kikyko as they pulled out of our driveway behind Inuko. Kikyko looked at him and shook her head.
"Do you like classical?" Yamatoo asked her while adjusting his stereo.
"You like classical?" she said surprised.
"Huh… what you don't?" he said and looked at her.
"No I love it, I play the harp… its so lovely and plays such a beautiful sound," Kikyko said closing her eyes.
"…it's made of this beautiful wood," Kikyko started to say. Yamatoo looked at her then to the road as some music started to play.
"Oh…I would love to hear you play sometime," he said to her, they were near the city by this point, he clicked his signal.
"Huh… well I'm playing something for my brother's wedding," she said and turned her eyes to the road.
"I can't wait to hear you play…" he said to her, she looked at him and blushed.
"Why are you so nervous!" he said and chuckled.
"Uhh…. I'm not nervous," she touched her face and blushed again.
"Do you know where we are going?" Kikyko asked Yamatoo, she turned her gaze to the window, so she didn't look at him.
"He looks so nice and well dressed... he put his hair up like mine…wow…" Kikyko thought to herself, she diverted her eyes to the window again.
"I think it's actually a café that sells well café food, not sure the name of it though!" Yamatoo said to her. She ignored him and kept her eyes outside.
"Huh… Kikyko!" he said looking at her.
"Silly girl are you daydreaming…" he said and touched her hand.
"Huh… oh sorry!" Kikyko said quickly she pulled her hand away from his. He chuckled and pulled into the lot near Inuko.
"Hey…" Inuko tapped his car. He laughed and took Hakura's hand. Kira giggled when Hitoshi's car pulled in the boys and Hitomi and Rika where with him. They went to greet them.
"Oh we're here already…" Kikyko said taking off her seatbelt.
Yamatoo looked at her and leaned in towards her.
"Uhh," Kikyko blushed.
"Hahahah I love to see you blush," he said touching his hand to her face.
"That's not nice you know," Kikyko huffed. Yamatoo smiled and tapped her face.
"What isn't that I make you blush?" he said to her he leaned in towards her and she blushed again.
"Aaah stop it!" she said and held her hands to her face.
He laughed and pulled himself away from her. She pulled her hands off her face and looked at him.
"Come on," Yamatoo said to her. Kikyko let out a deep breath and opened the car door.
"Wow this is so nice!" Kikyko said following everyone. Yamatoo smiled at her, he stayed close to her, the café was crowed, he kept his hand near her back and walked near her.
"I knew you'd like it, we have a booth over there," Inuko said pulling his arm over Hakura's shoulders. She smiled at him.
"So cute!" Kikyko would say as her eyes examined the shop. Yamatoo looked at her and smiled.
"Haha, I don't think this booth will fit all of us bro!" Kenta said looking at the table. Reno chuckled; he knew what was going on. They booked two booths, one big one for Inuko and his friends and a second smaller one just for Kikyko and Yamatoo.
"Yeah I know," Inuko said he grabbed Kikyko by the arm.
"Aah hey!" she shouted at him.
"You sit over there," Inuko laughed and pulled her to another booth. Yamatoo looked at him curious and followed behind them.
"There… right here!" Inuko said tapping the table.
"Uh why can't we sit with you guys…." She blushed and looked at her brother.
"Because… you can't!" he said and laughed, he touched her head then turned away from her back to his table.
"Uhh.." Kikyko said nervous. Yamatoo chuckled clueing in on their little plan and sat down. He tapped the seat next to him.
"Uh…. Okay…." Kikyko said. She came around the table and sat down next to Yamatoo.
A waitress came around dressed as a maid and extended a menu to them. Yamatoo looked at her and took it.
"Oh wow its cute!" Kikyko said opening the menu.
"Do you want anything?" she said to Yamatoo reading the menu. He laughed and looked at her.
"I don't eat human food Kikyko," he reminded her.
"Oh right!" she said looking at the character designed plates.
"This is really cute…. Inviting Kikyko and Yamatoo here!" Rika said looking at them.
"Oh my gosh they are so adorable together," Hitomi said as well. Inuko rolled his eyes looking at the menu.
"Are we going to spy on my sister's date the whole time where here?" Inuko said to everyone.
"YES!" Hitomi and Rika both said to him. Kenta laughed.
"Wow…" he said and shook his head.
"Uhh…" Yamatoo said looking at the table. Kikyko had ordered a tree full of cookies, scones, desert, a plate that had a large soufflé on it coated in chocolate and pudding, it had a character on the top, and two lattes.
"Mmmm," she said holding a spoon to her mouth.
"You sure eat a lot!" he said watching her as she dug her spoon into the soufflé again.
"Huh, oh sorry…. Here try this!" she said to him, she held her spoon out to Yamatoo. He looked at it.
"Uh," he said and took a taste.
"OH MY GOSH SHE SHARED HER SOUFFLE WITH HIM," Rika and Hitomi both said.
"Soooo… this is nice," Reno said to Inuko. The girls had moved closer to another table behind them watching Kikyko.
"Yeah I thought I was on a date, but apparently my fiancée decided to get her own booth," Inuko said looking over the menu again. Hakura tilted her head to him and tapped his ears, she giggled and turned her eyes to Kikyko.
"Yeah strange right…. Four guys sitting at a table alone in a café without women," Reno said loudly teasing the girls. They ignored them and kept their eyes focused on Kikyko.
"Uh, this…. Isn't so bad," he said looking at her. She smiled and dug her spoon into the souffle again.
"So…" Kikyko said swaying her feet in the booth. Yamatoo looked at her as she reached for a scone.
"So…" Yamatoo said to her. Kikyko giggled and turned to him.
"This is a scone, it has such a lovely taste…" she said to Yamatoo, he looked at it as she held it to him.
"Uh, why…." He said looking at the scone again.
"Because… the girls have been staring at us since we got here and…I want to tease them a bit," Kikyko half whispered to Yamatoo. He looked over at them. The girls held the menus up to their faces when they noticed this. He smiled.
"Ohhh I see," he said to Kikyko he slid closer to her.
"Then… how about," he said taking the scone from Kikyko. He put it on her plate and touched her face.
"OH MY GOD IS HE GOING TO KISS HER!" Kira said looking over to them intently.
Kikyko blushed as Yamatoo came closer to her.
"Uhh Yamatoo," she stuttered her words, he smiled and just as he was to lean forward to kiss her, he took the scone off her plate and ate it.
"Huh!" Kikyko said confused. He laughed and taped her face.
"You should see your face, when you blush your beautiful," he said to her and chuckled.
"He didn't kiss her…." Hakura said and sighed disappointed.
"If you four ladies are done spying on my sisters date, we ordered some real food," Inuko said and turned to their seat.
"Shhh quiet," Hakura said waving her hand to him. The guys groaned and grunted.
"Yeah so… Inuko, you look nice!" Hitoshi said to him. Inuko looked at him.
"SHUT UP!" he said to him. The boys laughed.
"HAHAHAHAH!" Yamatoo and Kikyko laughed. He was telling her about an incident that happened at his college where a student attempted to glue Yamatoo's locker shut, he didn't realize Yamatoo was a demon and when he went to open the locker, he broke the door.
"You broke your locker door," Kikyko said again.
"Yeah it was actually funny, I didn't get it at first but…I realized after there was glue all around the door and the lock," Yamatoo said to her. She touched her face and laughed again.
"So… how long do you have left in college," Kikyko said admiring him. She rested her face on her hands looking at him. He smiled and shifted closer to her.
"Well one more year, then…. I want to open my own business, I have to work in an interior design office for 6 months under the professionals, but after that… I want to venture out on my own," He said noticing her rosy cheeks again. He smiled and shook his head.
"Ohh…" Kikyko said and smiled.
"How about you, what will you do after high school?" he asked her. Kikyko didn't quiet realize he as talking to her.
He laughed again noticing this.
"Kikyko," he said to her.
"Oh huh…sorry, I uhhh don't know... I'm not sure what I want to do," she said to him. He smiled and touched her head.
"OH man they're only talking no action at all," Hakura sighed. The girls returned to the table with the guys and dug into the plates in front of them.
"There better not be any action in that booth!" Inuko said to her, Hakura waved her hand at them. The girls had all shifted to one side of the booth and the guys where at the other side. He rolled his eyes.
"So guess Reno's my date then huh!" Inuko said pulling his arm over the back of the seat.
"Hey we should totally make out," Reno said to Inuko. Inuko looked at Hakura for a reaction.
"Yeah great!" Hakura said to him.
"Wow…" Kenta said and laughed.
"So…." Kikyko said again. Yamatoo turned his face and laughed, he shook his head and looked at her again.
"You are so nervous aren't you, your shy too…" he said ruffling her hair.
"Huh uh hey!" she huffed at him.
Kikyko laughed and sat back in the seat, Yamatoo pulled his arm over her shoulder, she giggled and slide closer to him. She held up the dessert menu looking at it.
"He put his arm around her, aaah!" Kira said hitting Hitomi's arm.
"I know, man he better kiss her!" Hitomi said leaning forward.
The guys grumbled again.
"Hmmm chocolate cake or…." Kikyko said reading over the menu.
"Order what you like, I can't have chocolate," He said to her. She looked at him and laughed.
"Pup's can't eat chocolate!" she teased him. He blushed and shook his head.
"Yamatoo," Kikyko said while holding the menu close to her face. He looked at her.
"You look really nice," she said and blushed. He chuckled and shook his head.
"Thank you!" he said to her.
"Hey guys…." Hitoshi said noticing a boy and a girl with another two boys near the front counter.
"What Hitoshi!" Inuko said watching Hakura as her eyes affixed on Kikyko.
"Guys!" Hitoshi said to everyone louder.
"What?" everyone said to him. He pointed.
"Huh, what Hero's here!" Kenta said worried.
"Why is that bastard here?" Reno said as well.
"Uh should we leave?" Kira said worried as well.
"No… no one do anything, just keep your tabs on them… Kikyko's on a date, he better not ruin it for her!" Inuko said, he clenched his hand on the table. Hakura saw this and touched his hand.
"Don't…" she said to him. He looked at her then diverted his eyes to the group.
"Hero, the girl is here with that boy, and over there… her brother and their friends," Nizu said to Hero. He diverted his eyes quickly to them.
"I noticed I picked up on their scent," he said touching her back.
"What are your orders sir?" one of the boys with them said.
"Mmm she's here, she looks so good," Roku said looking over at Kikyko.
"No Roku control yourself, let's not make a scene here, let them be boys. I have an idea," Hero said to the boys. They looked at him and came closer to him and Nizu. Roku kept his eyes on Kikyko.
"They're really beginning to give me the creeps Inuko," Hakura said nervous.
"Are they planning something?" Reno said worried.
"I can't hear what they're saying its to loud in here," Kenta said his ears twitched as he tried to focus in on their conversations.
"Just keep an eye on them, don't anyone do anything!" Inuko said to everyone. Hitomi and Rika looked at each other.
"He better not do anything," Hitomi said. Rika nodded to her.
"Huh…" Yamatoo said picking up on Hero's scent.
"Yamatoo… hello," Kikyko said waving her hand in front of his face. Yamatoo looked around the café and spotted them.
"Nothing… don't worry about it," Yamatoo said to Kikyko. He kept his eyes on Inuko and his friends. Inuko shook his head at Yamatoo.
"I didn't say anything, I was asking if your excited to have a sister…" her voice chimed. He turned and looked at her. He smiled and touched her face.
"Yes, I am!" he said to her.
"I hope she's as lovely as you Kikyko," Yamatoo said to her. She giggled and smiled.
Hero nodded to the boys with them, they nodded to him and diverted their way through the shop to the door.
"Good they're leaving," Inuko hissed.
"Good riddance," Kenta said keeping his eyes on Hero and Nizu and Roku.
"You are so lovely Kikyko," Yamatoo said again to her, she blushed. He smiled when she did this. Just as he was about to lean forward to kiss her, Hero came towards him. He diverted his eyes to them.
"Uhh," Kikyko said looking in the same direction.
"What are you doing here?" Yamatoo said to him. Kikyko shifted herself closer to Yamatoo, Yamatoo pulled his arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.
"Move!" Kenta said. The boys got out of the booth.
"Guys don't do anything here please!" Kira said also sliding out of the booth.
"He better not make a scene!" Inuko said angry. Reno held a handout to him, they stood near their booth watching Hero.
"Kikyko…" Hero said to her.
"What do you want?" she said to him.
"Mmm, we just wanted to say hi.." Roku said looking at her. His eyes looked her up and down.
"Now leave!" Yamatoo said to them in a hoarse voice. Kikyko looked at him worried he'd spring on them.
"Oh don't worry we are leaving, we just wanted to take a look at the….goods," Hero chuckled. Nizu laughed.
"GET THE HELL…" Yamatoo was about to jump from his seat at them when Kikyko grabbed his arm.
"Just leave please…" she said to them. Inuko and the boys came closer towards them. Hero noticed this.
"Don't worry… we're leaving!" he smirked. Nizu laughed and took his arm as they headed towards the door. Roku looked at Kikyko then followed them.
"That guy really pisses me off, I want to rip his head off," Yamatoo said watching them.
"Don't!" Kikyko said pulling on Yamatoo's arm.
"You okay?" Inuko said coming towards their table.
"Yeah we're fine…" Yamatoo said angry.
"Hey, we're leaving… the shopping centers open soon," Reno said to them. Yamatoo looked at the boys and nodded.
"Okay!" Kikyko said, she picked up her purse. As Yamatoo was coming out of the booth Inuko gestured for him.
"Why was he here? What did he say?" he said to Yamatoo.
"He wanted to look at the goods… Kikyko!" he said to him. The boys leaned in near him.
Inuko let out a deep breath, "…just keep her close guys, while we are finish what we need to for the wedding, keep an eye on her," he said to the guys. They all nodded. Yamatoo nodded to him.
Outside!
"Ah, the dog boys' car!" Roku said bending down to Yamatoo's car.
"Should I Hero?" Roku said cracking his fingers near the car.
"Oh why not… send him a warning, we will take that girl of his…." Hero chuckled. Roku looked at the tire and smirk, he punctured a small hole with his claw into the tire.
"This should slow them down, or worse… hahahahha," Roku laughed. He stood up and adjusted his tie. Hero looked at him and nodded. He followed Hero and Nizu.
"Hey, let's head out! We're going to the mall to gather a few more things for the wedding then the catering shop," Hakura said to Kikyko, she smiled at her.
Inuko nodded to Yamatoo as approached his car.
"We'll be behind you," he said to Inuko.
"Great, let's head out guys!" Kenta said to everyone. Kikyko smiled and opened the door of Yamatoo's car.
She clicked her seat belt on when Yamatoo closed his door.
"Kikyko…" he said to her.
"Huh yes?" she said and looked at him.
"I don't want you to fear Hero, he's a weak panther….if he comes near you," Yamatoo started to say to her.
"…don't, I don't want anyone hurt. He did nothing he was just trying to intimidate us," Kikyko said to Yamatoo. He lifted her hand to his face and kissed it.
She blushed again.
"I love it when you blush," he said and laughed. She pulled her hand from him. He chuckled and started the car. She blushed again and touched her face, Yamatoo laughed as he pulled out.
