AN: Hey everyone! Here is the next chapter you have (barely) been waiting for! Please keep reviewing. It makes me update faster :)
Didn't really get to edit, been busy so please excuse any grammar errors.
My first week of work went by great. I don't like that I have to be there every day but its easy money and I get paid weekly. I work with sexy Akira on a daily basis and get to hang out with her when we are both in the sorting room.
She's pretty cool. I gave her a ride home on Thursday when she was having car troubles. She spilled some of her drink and went into my glove compartment for a napkin. She pulled out one of my empty bags with a little residue on it.
"What's this?" She had a devious look on her face. Then she moved her hand to look under my seat. "I wonder if you have anything hidden down here?" She found a spoon and held it up. "Oh Inuyasha, you are a bad, bad boy."
I lifted my eye brow. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Mhmm. I'm not stupid, I've work with you ever day." She smiled. "Well all I know is that I have dirt on you."
I looked at her. "What?" She wouldn't blackmail me. Would she?
"Now," Akira put the spoon back under the seat and threw the empty baggie out the window, "I really hope you intend to share next time."
I raised my eyebrows. "Oh really?"
"Yeah!" she laughed.
"Well," I shrugged in my seat, "maybe."
Instantly I felt like I had made a new friend.
Kagome and Rin ended up finding a house for us to move to. I have only seen pictures and don't really know much about it. Kagome and I have rarely spoken since our last argument. It's been very tense.
My father offered to view the house with me but I declined. It doesn't matter. I'm sure whatever the girls picked out is fine. If my dad approves of it and it looks nice from the pictures then okay. I've been packing my clothes for the last few days and anything else that I wanted to take to the new place.
The moving people would be here today and I wanted to make sure I got everything. I can't believe I'm leaving this place. I think we moved here when I was about 10 years old. I loved it. Our old house was big but nothing like this. Some of the best years of my life were in this house. Some of my favorite memories took place here. Smoking weed for the first time, sneaking out to meet girls, Kagome being the only girl I ever fucked here, the first night we brought Kaiya home, watching her grow... so many memories.
The movers got here as soon as I finished up the last of my packing. The whole moving processs was already dragging on so I helped them load the truck, the faster we did this the faster I could be relaxing. I have to be up early tomorrow. I'm not trying to stay up late dealing with this relocation shit.
I think we loaded it all in a couple hours. Then we drove to the new house, I took my car and Kagome took hers. The new place was only ten minutes away from the city so that's always nice, now I can sleep in a little before work.
I was the first to arrive; I pulled up towards the house and checked it out. From the outside it looked nice. Two stories, a big yard, a two car garage, the outside was light yellow. I grabbed my new key and tried to get a look inside the place before anyone else got there.
I entered in the living room that stretched to the right while the stairs were to my left and garage was further left. Walking straight back I found myself in the kitchen and dining area. There was no formal dining room like at my dad's but was a big area anyways. In the kitchen we had a patio door and I stepped outside for a moment. The back yard was a good size. Then walking back in I discovered what would probably be the family room in the back left corner of the first story, there was also a nice fireplace in the room. Between this room and the kitchen was a small bathroom with no shower. Then I turned around and went upstairs.
I made it to the hallway and it had 5 doors. After some more exploring I learned that the house had four bedrooms. The right side of the house was pretty much symmetrical to the left side of the house, well for the second floor at least. Two of the bedrooms had a walk in closet connecting to private bathrooms. The other two bedrooms just had closets. Then in the middle towards the back wall was the main bathroom.
We didn't have an attic, but we did have a basement. I went back to the first floor of the house and found the basement stairs behind a door near the main stairs. I went down them and looked around the area. There was a laundry room and two more small rooms. All in all after the end of my quick tour I really liked the place.
Then I left the house and stood outside to wait for the moving people. They came with Kagome following behind them. It took a little longer to get everything in the rooms they belonged in and not surprisingly Kagome and I both agreed to have separate rooms. I think we would kill each other having to share one space. Kagome was to have the large room on the left and I would have the opposite on the right. Then Kaiya's room was next to Kagome's. After a few more hours of heavy lifting they truck was empty and the house was looking more like a home. Well a home for boxes, but at least the rooms weren't empty.
Kagome and I then begun to unpack everything. The whole moving process was a drag; long and boring. Box after box after fucking box. Then when you finish unpacking most of a room, bam! Another fucking set of boxes.
Due to Kagome's school schedule she would be gone from afternoon till the evening. Since I work in the morning she will drop Kaiya off with Rin and then when I get off I'm supposed to pick her up. Then I watch her myself till Kagome gets home. To be honest I like that idea. Some uninterrupted Kaiya and Yash time.
I sighed and wiped my brow. Finally I had finished unpacking the clothes in my room and my bed was made. All the extra shit was where it belonged, now to hook up my TV. I'm debating whether I want my game systems in my room with me or in the living room. I put it in my room and I can get high play it and just pass out on the bed eventually. But if it's in the living room, that's where the bigger TV is going to be. So it would be better to play down there I guess. Well, problem solved.
I looked at my watch, it was already 8pm. I've gotta get to bed soon. I went across the hall and found Kagome in Kaiya's room. The baby was sleeping in her crib and Kagome had her back turned as she organized some of the baby's things.
"I'm gonna go to bed now." I said to her. "Did you need anything big moved before I do?"
She shook her head. "No thanks. I want to have Kaiya's birthday party on Saturday. Just so you know. We have all week to make sure everything is ready. Okay?"
I nodded. "Alright." Then I turned around to go back to my room.
"Inuyasha?" I looked back. "Do you like the house?"
I smiled. "Yeah, Kagome, it's perfect. Kaiya is gonna love growing up here."
She looked happy. "Good. I think so too."
I nodded again. "Okay, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
It's been a week since we moved into our new house. I have to say I really like the changes that have been happening. Work is great, and Kagome and I have been dealing with each other better than usual.
My new daily ritual is waking up, taking a shower, and eating a quick breakfast. Then I hurry to Akira's house and we both take turns shooting up. She told me she would use like once a week, on the weekends. I was surprised when I found out, but I won't complain. But now that she has a buddy its more like every day. We never messed around or anything, its just about the drugs. Really though, who would want to have sex when you can get high? It's convenient being able to use there because then I don't have to drive around with anything in my car. Plus its always more fun when your with someone else. She only lives a few minutes away from work so after we do that we leave in our own cars and head to the job.
Work is easy and I don't really see Sesshomaru unless we both happen to be in the hallway. We don't really speak though so it's nice. The job is very easy so I can relax and not have to stress about anything.
Then after I get off I go to Sesshomaru and Rin's house to pick up Kaiya. I like that she can spend some time with Tomaru every day. Plus Rin is a good sitter. After I get her we go home and hang out together while waiting for Kagome to come home.
When Kagome gets home she usually makes dinner. All 3 of us eat at the table, with Kaiya in her high chair. Sometimes I eat, but when I'm high I have no appetite, so I just play with my food or take small bites to spare Kagome's feelings.
I watch the baby more so that Kagome can do her homework and study uninterrupted. Then when she's done, Kaiya is all hers.
Today is Saturday though, so Kaiya would probably stay with Kagome, but we'll see about that next week, because this Saturday is Kaiya's first birthday party.
"Inuyasha!" I heard Kagome call my name from downstairs. Fuck, what does she want?
I leave my room and stand at the top of the steps. "What?"
"I need your help."
I rolled my eyes. I was busy. "With what?"
She didn't answer but walked over to the bottom of the stairs and looked up at me, arms crossed.
"I'm doing something right now." I said.
"Doing what?"
"Nothing." I sighed, frustrated. "Forget it. What did you want?"
"I can't get ready for this party when I have Kaiya attatched to me." As if on cue the baby crawled up to her. "I need you to either watch her while I get the house together, or come down and help me."
I shook my head and opened the baby gate at the top of the stairs to get down. "I'll take her." I made my way to the first floor and reached out for her. "Kaiya."
She looked at my outstretched arms and came close enough for me to pick her up. Once I did I turned around and carried her upstairs. I only nodded when Kagome thanked me.
I brought the baby to my room and set her down. Then I got my tools off the bed and hurried into the bathroom. I was getting ready to shoot up earlier, but I won't do it in front of the baby. I do have some limits.
I did everything pretty quickly so that I could make sure Kaiya didn't get into anything in my room. She is really good at getting into shit and I need to keep an eye on her. But I had to do this first.
Once I finished I cleaned everything up and put it in a bathroom drawer. Hopefully I don't forget I put it there and freak out later. I smiled. Ah, that would be bad.
I was feeling great as I walked out of the bathroom. I looked around my room and spotted Kaiya in the bottom of one of my dresser drawers.
"Hey," I walked over and picked her up, "how did you get into that?"
I sat down with her on the bed. She was squirming like crazy.
"Alright I'll put you down. Jeez."
I set her on the floor and watched her crawl towards the hallway. I watched her go towards the stairs, the gate was still open-
The gate was still open! "Shit." I got up and ran over, grabbing her before she got close to the stairs. Then I shut the gate and let out a deep breath.
I gave her a serious look. Why did she have to go for the stairs? This little girl was gonna be trouble.
I carried her down the stairs and into the kitchen where I found Kagome getting the food ready for the party.
"What's up." I smiled, looking at some of the food she had made. "This all looks good."
"Thanks." She said without looking up. "Rin and Sesshomaru are picking up the cake and they should be here shortly."
I pouted. "Great." Just the guy I wanted to see. Not.
"Inuyasha." She glared at me. "Try not to be an a-hole today."
I rolled mye eyes. "Really Kagome? It's asshole, not a-hole. Don't expect me to take you seriously if-"
She cut me off. "Watch your mouth!"
"What?" What's the big deal?
"Kaiya is like a sponge. You say those kinds of words around her and she will start to say them too." She came from around the island and took the baby from my arms.
"It doesn't matter Kagome, she can't even talk yet."
This time Kagome was the one rolling her eyes. "Yes she can."
I was taken back. I never heard her say anything other than gibberish.
Kagome went on. "She can say mama, no, hi, my, and bye."
"I never heard her talk." I frowned.
"Well maybe if you weren't so busy doing whatever it is you do you would have." She sat down on the floor with the baby. "Watch."
Then she turned to the baby. "Say mama."
Kaiya giggled.
"Mama, maaamaaa." She spoke slowly.
"Mm."
That's cheating. "She didn't say mama. You don't know what she said."
Kagome glared at me. "That's her way of saying mama, duh."
I huffed. "Whatever."
The door bell interrupted our conversation and Kagome got up to answer it. Rin stepped in the door with Tomaru, Sesshomaru followed behind with what I'd assume was a cake box in his hands.
The girls put the babies in a play area. They wouldn't wander much since they always are playing together.
Then everyone came into the kitchen. Kagome went behind the island to continue her cooking, and Rin gave me a hug hello.
"Hi Inuyasha." She smiled at me. "I can't believe Kaiya is about to be a year old!"
I smiled back. "Yeah, I know right?"
She nodded and let go, walking over to Sesshomaru to peck him on the cheek. "I still remember when I found out about you getting Kagome pregnant!" she laughed. "Time sure does fly."
Sesshomaru had put the cake down on the counter and looked at me. "A word with you?" He walked into the living room.
I followed him and left Rin and Kagome to do whatever it was they were doing. He was looking out our front window when I stood next to him.
"You wanted to talk?" I said.
He nodded. "Let me see your arms."
AN: Let me know what you think :)
