Chapter 5: A New Member to Their Family?

"You've finely lost it," Kagome says as she sets Katsuo in his jungle theme baby rocker.

"But Kagome!" Inuyasha whines as he throws his knife bag on the table.

"No means no, Inuyasha," she says as she walks towards the kitchen counter and grabs a knife from the drawer.

"But he's just a baby, a puppy! Just like Katsuo."

At the mention of his name, Katsuo looks up before looking down at his feet. He's currently three months and five days. His silver hair is growing every day and he has small fangs growing from his gums. He is able to recognize when people are talking to him and makes small growling sounds that his mother tries to imitate.

"A puppy that you found on the streets! Who knows what kind of germs and diseases he has!"

"Be rational, Kagome," Inuyasha says as Kagome walks towards the refrigerator and pulls out a package of steak and some potatoes

"I am rational, Inuyasha," Kagome states, giving him a stern look.

"But Kagggggoommmmeeeee!"

"You sound like a child, Inuyasha," Kagome says before turning around to look at her husband.

"You never let me have anything," Inuyasha says as he stomps his foot with a pout on his face.

"Didn't I give you hea-"

"That's different," Inuyasha interrupts. "Plus, I returned the favor."

Kagome rolls her eyes before glancing down at their son who's staring up at them with large eyes. 'It would be nice for Kat to grow up with a pet as his friend. I had Buyo growing up.'

Kagome sighs and shakes her head before looking at her husband. "Where's the puppy?"

Inuyasha smirks as he dashes out the room. His wife shakes her head as she bends down to check on their son.

"You daddy is just a big baby, just like you."

Kagome softly pinches Katsuo's cheek causing Katsuo to let out a playful growl. Kagome giggle before giving him a kiss on the head and walking out the kitchen.

"Inuyasha! Don't mak-"

"Hey! Come back!" Inuyasha's shouts interrupt as a golden retriever puppy runs towards her.

"Ohh! You're just so cute!" Kagome squeals as she gets on her knees. The puppy runs into her arms and squirms in her lap. "And you're a happy puppy too!"

She giggles as the puppy put his paws on the top of her breasts, leans up, and licks her face. "You're so energetic!" Kagome giggles as she tries to move her face away from the puppy. She grabs him and holds him at arm's length to give him a good look. He had dirty golden fur, was skinny and small.

"So," Inuyasha asks with a grin as he stares down at his wife. He already knew what she was going to say.

"We can keep him," Kagome states causing Inuyasha to let out a shout in triumph. "But! We got to get him his shots first thing tomorrow morning."

"Will do," Inuyasha says as he pets the puppy.

"But first, give him a bath and put him in the guest room. I'll get him some left-over food from yesterday and something to drink. It looks like he hasn't eaten for days. The poor thing."

Inuyasha smirks as he watches the dog lick his wife's face again.

"Okay, okay, okay! Stop," she giggles as she holds the puppy at arm's length again. "And here I thought I was a cat person." She stands up and hands the puppy over to Inuyasha. She scratches the dog behind his ears before walking away, into the kitchen to check on their son. Inuyasha smirks before cradling the dog and walking him to the guest room in the back. Once he's situated, Inuyasha walks back towards the kitchen; he would clean the pup later.

He sees Kagome cutting some potatoes on the cutting board. He washes his hands and dries them before walking towards his wife.

"Hmm," she hums as he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her into his body.

"Thank you," he whispers in her ear as he bends down to give her a kiss on the cheek.

"You're welcome," Kagome says with a wicked smile. "But since I'll be taking care of the puppy tomorrow, I guess daddy dearest has to take care of Katsuo."

"But Kagome! Tomorrow's my off day!"

"And you can spend it with your son," Kagome says as she grabs the cutting board and pours the content on it into the pot.

"Keh."

"You haven't been spending that much time with him. I know you're busy with work, but still. All I'm asking for is half a day," Kagome truthfully tells him as she turns around to face him. "Or maybe a full day, I did promise Eri we would get our nails and feet down."

"You're trying to kill aren't ya?" Inuyasha says as he kisses Kagome neck before walking away and towards their sleeping son. Kagome sets the knife down before walking towards the two. She smiles before looking at her husband.

"He's a good baby. He has a schedule, I'll write it out. You'll be fine," Kagome says as she rubs Katsuo's chubby arm.

"Keh," Inuyasha says as starts rocking Katsuo. Katsuo snuggles into his chest in response.

"Well, if you take really good of Katsuo," Kagome starts to say as she runs her hand up to grasp the left side of Inuyasha's shirt. "Mommy will be really good to you tomorrow night."

"Handcuffs?" Inuyasha asks with a heated look and a small growl.

"And whipped cream," Kagome says as she leans up and gives him a peck before walking away. Inuyasha watches her hips swing from side to side; his eyes slide up and he meets Kagome's eyes.

"Deal?" Kagome asks as she picks up the knife.

"Hell yeah!"

Kagome grins before turning around and starting to cook again.

A cocky grin forms on Inuyasha's face as he turns around and walks away out the room. He walks down the hallway and towards Katsuo's nursey. Once he put his sleeping son down in his crib, he leans back and stares down at him.

"Keh. Taking care of you can't be that bad, right?"
