Chapter 5
Kagome shook her head in disbelief. Inuyasha's eyes narrowed.
"Are you saying no, because I have no problem slitting his throat." Inuyasha said in his best angry voice. Kagome's mouth hung open and she looked between Naraku and Inuyasha. Her eyes hardened in anger. How could he go to such extremes to get her to marry him? It couldn't just be because of his son. Naraku's eyes pleaded with hers to just say yes. She glared at Inuyasha and started crying. Inuyasha's eyes widened at the sight of her tears, and he was about to step away from Naraku but her next words stopped him.
"Fine, I'll marry you, but I absolutely hate you Inuyasha! Now let Naraku go!" She yelled with tears rolling down her cheeks. Inuyasha immediately stepped away from Naraku and turned toward the kitchen and threw the knife. It easily landed in the knife block. Naraku watched in awe.
"Damn he does get his aim from his father." He said. Kagome looked at him in confusion.
"Naraku?" She asked. Naraku looked at her and lowered his head. He knew she was slowly putting two and two together. He was caught. Inuyasha didn't bother to wait to see what happened next. He took a step toward her to comfort her but she held up a hand in anger.
"What the HELL is going on?" She asked them and the sound of her voice showed that she was past pissed and into the land of livid. Naraku sighed.
"Well, right after Sesshomaru came by yesterday, I got an idea to have Inuyasha come over and threaten to fire me from my job if you didn't marry him. Apparently though Inuyasha knew you wouldn't fall for it so he took it one step further, and pretended that he would kill me if you didn't marry him." Naraku explained and shrugged. Kagome looked at him, hurt.
"Why would you do something like that, Naraku?" She asked him. He looked up at her with angry eyes.
"Because you weren't listening to me yesterday when I told you to give Inuyasha a chance. I even asked Ryo if he wanted to have his Daddy back for good and he said yes. So after you went to bed I called up Inuyasha and told him the plan, though when he got here he felt a little guilty about doing this since you had put up with him all day today." Naraku said. Inuyasha stood there just listening, since Naraku had said it was a better idea for him to be the one to explain what was going on. And it WAS a good idea because Kagome was just standing there angry, not strangling him like she would have done with Inuyasha. Kagome crossed her arms over her chest.
"So basically you're telling me this was YOUR idea and Inuyasha was just along for the ride?" Kagome asked.
"Essentially, yes." He said nodding. Kagome growled and walked toward the chair he sat on. He looked up at her, waiting for her to attack him.
"I hate you!" She said and walked away down the hall and to her room. Naraku was surprised.
"Well that's weird. Usually she would have used physical violence." Naraku said. All of a sudden they heard a loud thump. Inuyasha laughed.
"It looks like she did, but apparently she likes you enough to take it out on the wall." He said. Naraku nodded. Inuyasha felt a tug on his jeans and looked down to see his son staring up at him.
"You marrying Mommy, Daddy?" He asked him. Inuyasha looked into his rather intelligent eyes and nodded. His face broke out in a little fanged grin and he squeezed Inuyasha's leg.
"Yay, Daddy! Does this mean you go to zoo with us, Daddy?" He asked. Inuyasha shrugged.
"I don't know, Ryoichi. It depends on if Mommy lets me." He said. Ryoichi nodded and bounded off down the hall. He knocked on the door.
"Mommy?! Can Daddy go with us to zoo?!" He yelled. There was silence for a few minutes and Ryoichi came running down the hall again with a smile on his face. Inuyasha looked down at him.
"What did Mommy say?" He asked. Ryoichi's smile never changed.
"She said 'Ony when Hell fweezes over, and Devil pee-pee's ikikles'." He said happily. Inuyasha heard Naraku laugh and turned to him. He pointed at his son.
"Did he just say 'Only when Hell freezes over, and the Devil pee-pee's icicles'?" Inuyasha asked. Naraku nodded through his laughter and Inuyasha's ears drooped.
"That's what I thought." He said sadly and then grinned. "But she never said I couldn't go with Sesshomaru and meet up with them. Mwahaha! I am so brilliant!" He yelled and Naraku looked at him.
"Or in need of a straightjacket." He said and stood up. Inuyasha scowled at him. He kissed his son goodbye and went to his car, and called Sesshomaru. He told his brother the plan and waited for Sesshomaru to show up. When Sesshomaru pulled up to the apartment building in his black limousine, Inuyasha opened the door and pulled his brother out. Sesshomaru scowled at him and headed toward Kagome's apartment.
"Now, Kags is a little bit mad at me, so I might have to hide behind you to keep my limbs." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru snorted and looked back at his brother.
"What the hell did you do to her now?" He asked. Inuyasha laughed weakly.
"I kinda forced her to marry me, by threatening her friend's life, and even though it was his idea… well actually he just wanted me to threaten his job…" Inuyasha trailed off at the sight of Sesshomaru's face.
"Now I see why the woman didn't tell you she was pregnant." Sesshomaru muttered and knocked on the apartment door. Naraku opened it and bowed his head to Sesshomaru and then looked at Inuyasha and rolled his eyes.
"Please come in and I'll get Kagome." Naraku said and stepped out of the two brothers' way so they could come in. Naraku turned around.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru's here!" He yelled and Sesshomaru winced.
"I could have done that myself." He said and Inuyasha sniggered. Naraku smiled at him as he returned to the kitchen.
"Well as a guest I wouldn't want you to strain yourself." He said and they all heard the door open and two little feet come running down the hall.
"Uncle Sheshmru!" Ryoichi screamed and ran at his Uncle. Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest and smirked at his brother.
"Sheshmru?" He asked tauntingly. Sesshomaru growled as he picked up his nephew.
"Shut up." He said. They heard more feet coming down the hall and a female voice.
"Ryoichi Tashio, how many times do I have to tell you not to run in the hall?" Kagome said as she was looking through her duffel bag making sure she had enough supplies. When she looked up her eyes locked on Inuyasha.
"I thought you left." She growled. Ryoichi laughed and clapped his hands.
"Now Mommy sounds like tiger. Rawr!" He said imitating them. Sesshomaru chuckled. Kagome smiled at her son and then turned back to Inuyasha.
"I did leave but I came back because I'm going with you." He said happily. Kagome's eyes narrowed.
"I said you couldn't come." She answered. He nodded and smirked.
"It's true you said I couldn't come with YOU, but you never said anything about going with SESSHOMARU." He loved how his creative scheming mind worked. Kagome looked at him in confusion.
"What!? He never said you were coming!" She yelled. Inuyasha cleared his throat and turned his gaze to his brother.
"Sesshomaru?"
"Inuyasha, would you like to come with us to the zoo?" Sesshomaru asked without taking his eyes from his nephew. Inuyasha looked to Kagome triumphantly.
"Don't mind if I do." He said and opened the front door for them. Sesshomaru stepped out and Inuyasha after him, still smiling.
"But I mind! I mind!" Kagome screamed to no avail. The brothers were already half way down the apartment stairs. Kagome screamed in frustration. "God I hate my fiancé's side of the family!" She screamed and turned her head slowly toward the sound of Naraku's chuckle.
"Glad you're coming to terms with Inuyasha and calling him your fiancé." He said. Kagome growled as she stomped toward the door.
"Oh suck me sideways!" Kagome said and slammed the door.
"That really only works for men Kagome!" He yelled and went back to his cooking. "She'll come around." He said to himself and nodded.
Kagome sat and sulked in the limousine all the way to the zoo while Ryoichi explored the huge black car and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru watched in amusement. At one point Ryoichi saw his Mommy glaring angrily out the window and walked over to her seat.
"Mommy, why you look so angry?" He asked her sweetly and held onto her bare knee. She was wearing another mini-skirt. She looked at her son and plastered a smile on her face.
"Because I'm mad at Daddy." She said. He looked at her wide-eyed.
"Oh." He turned to Inuyasha and pointed his finger back at his mother.
"Daddy, you make Mommy mad!" He said. Inuyasha laughed.
"That's because Mommy has a short fuse." He said and beckoned his son over to him.
"Oh shut up Inuyasha." She said turning back to the window. Inuyasha chuckled.
"Oh, you're not going to tell me to suck you sideways? I'm in shock that you would ask Naraku to do it and not me." He leered at her. "I would you know." He said teasingly and smiled as Kagome's face flushed and she turned back to the window.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Sesshomaru said. Ryoichi looked at his uncle with wide eyes.
"Uh-oh! Mommy, Uncle Sheshmru is sick! He needs medcine." Ryoichi said in a commanding voice. Kagome saluted him.
"Aye Aye, Captain Ryoichi!" She said and dug in her duffel bag for a water bottle for Sesshomaru and handed it to him. He laughed softly and made a show of drinking it and rubbing his stomach.
"Thank you Ryoichi. I feel so much better now." He smiled. Ryoichi giggled.
"But I didn't do anything. It was Mommy." He said. Sesshomaru mock gasped and put a hand to his chest.
"But Ryoichi, if you hadn't given her the idea then I wouldn't be better." He said. Ryoichi giggled again and Kagome laughed.
"He's right Ryoichi, it's thanks to you Uncle Sesshomaru is all better." She agreed and then turned back to the window and her thoughts turned back to the man sitting across from her, resulting in more sulking on her part.
When they got to the zoo, they filed out of the limo, amid surprised people expecting to see celebrities and were disappointed at seeing an adult, two teenagers, and a toddler. Sesshomaru went up to the driver and told him to go wherever he wanted and that he would call him when they wanted to leave. The driver nodded and drove off. Meanwhile Kagome and Inuyasha were standing in line with Ryoichi on Inuyasha's shoulders, waiting to get tickets. Sesshomaru caught up with them and they talked a while until they got up to the ticket booth.
The woman giving out tickets and taking the money smiled up at Ryoichi and Inuyasha put him down so he could talk to the woman. She bent down to his level.
"Why hello there, little one. What's your name?" She asked him. He grinned up at her.
"I'm Ryoichi." He said. She smiled down at him.
"So who're you here with?" She asked him. He smiled happily.
"My Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Sheshmru." He said. The woman frowned slightly and looked up at the three people behind him. Her eyes landed on the two teenagers who were looking at everything but her.
"I see. Well I hope you enjoy your time in the park." She said and took the money Sesshomaru handed her giving Ryoichi the 4 tickets that came from the little slot in the metal ticket box. Ryoichi grinned at the woman.
"Thank you!" He said and when Kagome asked, gave her the tickets to hold on to. They went everywhere, making sure to see the tigers, lions, and monkeys. They went to the part of the zoo that held the sea creatures and Ryoichi was ecstatic when he got to touch a dolphin and see a shark. They went to a few shows and Ryoichi got cotton candy and popcorn. All in all they had a good time and late into the afternoon Ryoichi fell asleep in Inuyasha's arms, so Sesshomaru called the limousine driver and they left the zoo. Inuyasha said something to Sesshomaru after he put Ryoichi into the limo and Kagome climbed in after him. Sesshomaru nodded and went up to speak to the driver as Inuyasha slid into the vehicle. He was smiling happily and Kagome looked at him warily.
"What the hell are you so happy about?" She asked him. He looked her straight in the eye.
"Oh, nothing." He said and Kagome scowled at him as Sesshomaru got into the limousine and nodded at Inuyasha. Inuyasha's grin widened and Kagome watched him suspiciously while holding her son. Kagome watched out the window and looked around in confusion when she didn't recognize any of the scenery. She looked at Inuyasha and saw him watching her intently. She turned back to the window and her jaw dropped open about 10 minutes later when she saw a church.
