Chapter 6: A Day with Daddy

"Hello my dear friend."

"What the heck, Miroku? I called you an hour ago," Inuyasha snaps as walks around Katsuo's nursey. Katsuo stares up at him from his place in the rocker.

"Well my friend-"

"Don't start on that bull-bs, where are you?" Inuyasha asks as he makes eye contact with his son. Kagome didn't want him to cuss in front of their son. If she found out, she would definitely pull his doggy ears, again.

"Today's also my day off and I wish to relax."

"But you agreed to help me," Inuyasha growls.

"I would help you my friend, however, my lovely Sango told me not to. According to Sango, Kagome told her to not let me help you," Miroku explains as he walks to his refrigerator and pulls out a carton of milk.

"Are you serious?" Inuyasha asks as he runs his hand down his face.

"Whaaaaaaaaa!"

"Well it looks like your daddy duties are about to start. Have fun my friend!"

"Miroku you bas-"

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp!

"That son of a bitch," Inuyasha growls as he throws his phone into Katsuo's crib before walking over and bending down to pick him up.

"What's the matter, huh, son?"

Inuyasha kisses the side of his neck as he lays him over his shoulder and rubs his back. He sighs as he walks out of the nursery and towards the kitchen. "You're probably hungry. Let's get some milk."

Katsuo continues to let out whimpers as his father walks down the hall.

Kagome had left an hour ago to get their new dog his shots and to have some fun with the girls.

"Keh. Who needs Kagome? I can take care of you all on by myself!" Inuyasha declares with a confident smirk.

Ten Minutes Later

"Come on, Kat, eat!" Inuyasha encourages as tries to place the nipple to the bottle next to his lips, but Katsuo moves his head while he continues to cry. "Bet you don't treat your mama like this," he says with a growl as he sets the bottle on table. "Okay, now what can you be crying for?"

Katsuo shakes his head and continues to cry out his frustration.

With Kagome

"Hello?" Kagome says as she answers her phone.

"Kagome!"

"What?" Kagome asks as she puts a piece of lettuce in her mouth; her, Sango, and Eri are at his restaurant enjoying lunch. The puppy is at the vets getting groomed, he had gotten his shots earlier. The doctors deemed him a healthy puppy with no disease or fleas.

"Your son has been crying for like ten minutes."

Kagome looks down at her watch and checks the time. "Did you feed him?"

"Yeah. But he didn't want to drink the milk."

Kagome rolls her eyes as she gives Sango a look. Sango laughs before reaching across the table to grab the salt.

"Inuyasha, you didn't look at the list I left you, did you?"

"I did!"

"Apparently you didn't. It clearly states that you're supposed to give him water at twelve."

Inuyasha pauses before walking towards the kitchen table and peeking down at the list. 'Uh! I hate when she's right.'

"What does it say dear?" Kagome taunts as she hears her son crying out in anger. 'Oh my poor baby.'

"I got to go, Kagz! We're having so much fun," Inuyasha mocks before ending the call. He sighs as he grabs the list and looks down at his almost red faced son.

"Okay, maybe we should follow the list mama gave us."

Two Hours Later

"Okay, it's time foooorrr," Inuyasha says as she grabs the piece of paper and looks at it. "Nap time. Thank Kami!"

With wide eyes, Katsu stares at his father while holding the small brown teddy bear in his hands.

"Okay, come on Kat, let's take a nappy," Inuyasha says as he lifts Katsuo off the floor and into his arms. He grabs the remote and turns the tv's volume down before walking towards the couch and taking a seat. He positions himself so he's lying across the coach; his legs tangle over the arm rest. He places Katsuo on his chest and wraps his arms around him. "Teddy can go right here," Inuyasha says as he takes the teddy bear from his tiny hands and places it next to them. Katsuo follows the teddy bear before looking at his father.

"Hey buddy," Inuyasha coos as he stares at him son. Katsuo reveals a toothless mouth as he grins. Inuyasha chuckles before rubbing his back. Inuyasha sighs as gold eyes stare at gold. His minds wonder back to what his wife said yesterday. 'Keh, I do spend a lot of time with the pup, right?'

However, that was not entirely true. He spent majority of his time at his restaurant, managing it and cooking. By time he came home at night, Katsuo would be sleep. He sighs again, causing Katsuo to lets out a small growl.

"I'm sorry that I haven't been that present in your life," Inuyasha says. "It's just been busy with work."

Katsuo lets out a small growl before laying his head on his chest.

"Hey! Don't mock me!" Inuyasha says as he rubs his back. "I get that's just an excuse, okay?"

Katsuo looks up as his father starts to speak again. "I guess it's because grandpa didn't come into my life until I wasn't a pup anymore. I guess it's because I don't know how to be a father; I never had an example."

He sighs as he looks down at his son. "Unlike your mother, I don't I have parenting instinct. I guess I'm not that involved because I don't want to mess up your future, you know?"

Katsuo lays his head against Inuyasha's chest again and lets' out a small whimper.

"You miss me, buddy, huh?" Inuyasha reaches up and rubs one of his ears. Katsuo lets out a growl of content as he starts to close his eyes. "I promise I'll be in your life more, okay? I shouldn't have pushed myself way from you, you're my pup, my son."

A smile forms on Inuyasha's face as his son lets out a whine of content. Inuyasha lets one out himself before kissing his head. Inuyasha rubs his back as he stares down at him. He lets out another sigh as starts thinking about his past.

His mother, Izayoi, was a single mother for seventeen years. Before Inuyasha was born, his mother worked for his father, Inu No Taisho, as his secretary. However, their work relationship quickly turns into a passionate one and their secret love affair lasted for nine months, before Izayoi quit her job after finding out she was pregnant.

He ended up bumping into his father and brother one day when he was running an errand for his mother on the rich side of town. Ever since their bump-in on the streets, Inu No Taisho, and his older brother, Sesshomaru, have been in his life. His father even gave him a huge loan that assisted him in opening his restaurant.

However, even though his father was trying to make up for lost time, he still missed his father being in his life; teaching him how to throw a ball, how to ride a bike, how to talk to girls, and most of all, how to be a man. His mother did a good job, however Inuyasha desired to have his father there.

Inuyasha snaps out of his thought and looks down at his son. 'I grew up and told myself that I would be in my children's life, but I guess I failed.'

He shakes his head before looking up at the ceiling. 'I haven't failed just yet. Katsuo, I promise I'll be in your life more for now on.'

He continues to rub his son's back with a grin on his face.

'My son. I love you.' He thinks before his eyes close too.

An Hour Later

With Kagome

"I'm home," Kagome announces as she walks through the door. She closes it and locks it behind her as the golden retriever lets out a bark before scratching at Kagome's leg. She bends down and takes off his leash, allowing him to roam free.

"Inuyasha, where are you?" She questions as she walks deeper into the house. She looks at her wrist watch and sees that it's almost three. 'Katsu should be up from his nap,' she thinks as she walks into the living room.

'Awwwwwwwww! That's so cute!' She thinks as she covers her mouth as she looks at her son and husband asleep on the couch.

She quietly takes a few pictures before putting her phone in her pocket and walking towards the two loves of her life. She bends down and kisses Inuyasha on the cheek. She grins as she watches a smile form onto his face. He opens his eyes and looks at his wife.

"Hi," he whispers.

"Hi," she whispers. "So, was it as horrible as you thought?"

Inuyasha lets out a chuckle before looking down their sleeping son. "It wasn't so bad."

"Right," Kagome mumbles with a small grin as she stands up. "I'm going to go make you some lunch and get Katsuo's bottle ready."

Inuyasha watches her leave before turning back to look at Katsuo; he was still sleep.

"Let's do this again, some time," he jokes as he rubs back. He chuckles as a small smile form on Katsuo's face before he turns his head. He kisses his head before leaning back against the arm rest of the couch.

"Love you son, always."
