Chapter 9
Kagome laughed. "Sorry Sesshy." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at Kagome.
"I should have known it was you. You're the only one besides Inuyasha who can get under my skin." He growled. Kagome smiled sweetly at him.
"Yea, but you know you love me." Sesshomaru snorted and they heard the door being banged on.
"Fluffy! I know you're in there! Get your gorgeous self out here now!" Kagura yelled. Inuyasha smirked at his brother.
"You'd better go, Sesshomaru. Kagura might get mad if you don't." He said tauntingly.
"I'm not going out there. That crazy bitch will smother me to death with… with… oh I can't even say the word." He said. Kagome giggled.
"Do you mean LOOOOVE, Sesshomaru?" She asked and he winced. She laughed again and pointed to the bathroom.
"You can go hide in there, we'll cover for you." She said. Sesshomaru nodded in thanks and headed for the bathroom. When he was inside Kagome grinned evilly at her husband and tiptoed to the door. She opened it before Kagura could bang on it again.
"Where's Fluffy?" She demanded. Kagome smiled and leaned close to her.
"He's cornered in the bathroom." She said and backed up so Kagura could charge into the room. She nodded and ran toward the bathroom door and kicked it in with her foot. Kagome stayed by the door and when she heard a growl she prepared herself to run like hell.
"Kagome! I'm going to kill you!" Sesshomaru yelled and ran out of the bathroom. Kagome ran out of the room laughing the entire time. She looked over her shoulder to see Sesshomaru right on her heels.
"Sorry, Sesshy but you're just waaay too old to catch me." She taunted and ran even faster. She ran to the stairs and slid down the banister and when she hit the marble floor she ran full tilt toward the kitchen. She continued to look behind her and saw Sesshomaru just a few inches away hell bent on catching her. When she saw Kagura and Inuyasha behind him her face split into a wide grin and she ran into the kitchen. She stopped when she heard Ryoichi giggle and point at them. When she stopped Sesshomaru crashed into her back, Kagura crashed into his, and Inuyasha was able to stop before he hit Kagura.
"Moga, look! It's a train! Mommy's the engine and Daddy's the caboose! Choo-Choo!" He said happily. Kagome chuckled at her son and walked over to his high chair.
"Yes, it is a train sweetie." She said and turned back to the others. Sesshomaru was trying to pry Kagura off of him as she had wrapped her arms around him from behind and wouldn't let go. Inuyasha was standing there laughing at the whole situation and when he felt Kagome's eyes on him he winked at her and walked toward her.
"So, Kags. Do you think coming to live here was a good idea now? I doubt you'd get as much entertainment still living with that fruit loop." He said. Kagome glared at him.
"His name is Naraku." She said.
"Fruit loop! Fruit loop! Naku's a fruit loop!" Ryoichi sang and banged the spoon that was in his hand against the highchair's tray. Kagome groaned and rolled her eyes as Inuyasha smiled down at his son.
"Thanks a lot Inuyasha. Now he's going to say that every time we see Naraku." She said. Inuyasha grinned.
"You're welcome, Kags." He answered and Kagome puckered her lips in anger and then smacked him in his shoulder.
"You're such an ass!" She yelled. Ryoichi tilted his head in confusion.
"Mommy? What's an ass?" Kagome glared at Inuyasha and answered her son.
"It's a donkey, sweetie."
"Daddy's a donkey? Does that mean I'm a donkey? Mommy what's a donkey?" Inuyasha laughed silently at Kagome as their son asked an onslaught of questions. Kagome still didn't take her gaze away from Inuyasha's.
"Yes, Daddy's a donkey, and no you're not a donkey. Luckily that trait skipped a generation, and a donkey looks a little bit like a horse but isn't as pretty." She answered.
"But Mommy you always say Daddy is gorjus and you told me it means really pretty." Ryoichi said. Inuyasha grinned slowly as a blush covered Kagome's face. She turned away from Inuyasha in embarrassment and picked up her son.
"Well, Ryo this is different." She said.
"KAGURA GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME NOW BEFORE I KILL YOU!" Sesshomaru screamed. Everyone turned to face the two demons. Kagura had climbed up Sesshomaru's body mostly by his hair and Sesshomaru was trying to push her off with his foot against her stomach. At the sudden attention on them they froze in their positions and looked at their audience. Ryoichi giggled and clapped his hands.
"Uncle Sheshmru and Kaura look like statues Mommy." He said. Kagome laughed and kissed her son's forehead.
"Why yes they do, don't they Inuyasha?" Kagome looked to her husband. He was grinning teasingly at his brother.
"Anyone got a camera? This is totally a Kodak moment that should be preserved for years to come." He said. Myoga handed him the camera he had grabbed to take pictures of Ryoichi. Inuyasha took it eagerly and before Sesshomaru could open his mouth to protest took a picture.
"Perfect shot if I do say so myself." He said and moved around the kitchen snapping a few more. Sesshomaru watched him with growing anger. He turned to Kagura and pushed her back with his foot, having caught her off guard. She squeaked but immediately recovered and ran at him. His arm shot out and his hand held her back by her forehead and her arms wind milled toward him, trying to grab him to no avail. Sesshomaru turned his attention back to his photo taking brother and growled deep in his throat.
"As soon as I get this psycho off of me you're dead." He said. Inuyasha just laughed and jumped around snapping pictures of the crazy scene his brother was in the middle of.
Kagome put her son back in his highchair and he continued to eat while she watched the drama unfolding right in front of her. She had a slight smile on her face.
It was almost exactly like it used to be when they were all together, except Kagura and Ryoichi were there in place of Miroku and Sango.
"Well, I know there will never be a boring moment in this household." She said laughing. Inuyasha gave her a quick grin.
"Much more interesting than the fruit loop, huh?"
"Fruit loop! Fruit loop!" Ryoichi chanted with his mouthful. Kagome gave Ryoichi a scolding look.
"Ryo, you know better than to talk with your mouth full." Ryoichi bowed his head and swallowed his food. He looked back up at his mother.
"Sorry Mommy." He apologized and went back to eating.
"Fluffy! I know you want me so why don't you just stop with this act!" Kagura whined. Sesshomaru snorted and pushed her back as hard as he could.
"I'll want you when Inuyasha puts on make up and a dress." Kagome burst into laughter and Inuyasha frowned at him.
"Oh my god Sesshy! I can just see that now!" Kagome said between giggles. Inuyasha snorted.
"I don't want to get a visual of what that would look like." He said and stopped snapping pictures. Kagura looked at Sesshomaru with hurt in her eyes and her bottom lip started to quiver. She burst into tears and ran from the room. Sesshomaru sighed. He didn't like the woman but he hadn't wanted to make her cry. He turned to his brother remembering the threat he had issued minutes earlier. Inuyasha backed away slowly.
"Now come on Sesshomaru, you and I know that was absolutely priceless and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get that on film." Inuyasha said in defense. Sesshomaru growled and stalked toward him slowly. In the blink of an eye Sesshomaru launched himself at Inuyasha.
"Kagome, catch!" Inuyasha said and threw the camera to her. She caught it, staring at it and then looked up at the sound of a deep growl. Sesshomaru's attention was now on her and she backed up slowly just as Inuyasha had done. Inuyasha had moved around so that he was next to the kitchen door and beckoned to Kagome to pass him the camera. She grinned and waited until Sesshomaru was a few feet away and then threw the camera to Inuyasha. He laughed and ran full tilt out of the kitchen. Sesshomaru roared and ran after him with Kagome in tow. The two teens were laughing their heads off as the elder chased Inuyasha through the house. He led Sesshomaru around the entire bottom floor and Kagome ran up the stairs.
"Inuyasha, come on!" She yelled and ran toward their room. Inuyasha ran as fast as he could up the stairs and through the door. Kagome slammed it shut before Sesshomaru could reach it, locked and barred it and slumped against it, sliding to the floor. Inuyasha tossed the camera up and down barely out of breath looking for a good place to hide it. He decided that Kagome was a good place. He walked toward her quickly.
"Kags, put this in your underwear." He said quietly as Sesshomaru pounded on the door. She looked at him in shock.
"Are you nuts?" She whispered. He grinned.
"Well I have nuts, but anyway no I'm serious. He would never touch you there without permission, and even then because we're married he wouldn't dare." She gave him a look that meant she was about to decline and he quickly explained further. "If you don't he's going to tear this room apart looking for this camera."
Kagome sighed and looked away. "Fine."
"Yes!" Inuyasha handed her the camera and she stuffed it in her underwear while Inuyasha grinned happily.
"I swear if you two don't open this door your son is going to end up an orphan!" Sesshomaru growled. Inuyasha winked at Kagome.
"What the hell ever happened to your manners?"
"You two idiots forced them back into the part of my mind that holds back my human behavior!"
"Well, Sess you aren't coming in until you say the magic word." Inuyasha's grin widened at the frustrated noise Sesshomaru made.
"God, I hate teenagers! Fine! May you PLEASE open the door?" He asked with forced sweetness. Kagome giggled as Inuyasha pulled her to her feet and moved her out of the door's path.
"Ok." He answered and unbarred and unlocked the door. He opened it and Sesshomaru barged in, sniffing around. Kagome and Inuyasha stood in front of him with innocent smiles on their faces. He looked at them suspiciously and then zoned in on Kagome. More particularly her skirt. He sniffed deeply and then growled. His gaze found Inuyasha's and if eyes could kill Inuyasha would be six feet under.
"You put it in her underpants. You sly bastard. I swear to god one of these days I'm going to get you back for this." He growled and turned on his heel and stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Inuyasha burst out laughing.
"God, I love when I can get a rise out of him. Hmmm, you know, I've noticed it seems to only happen when you're around." He said. Kagome smiled and pulled the camera out of her underwear.
"Didn't you hear him earlier? He said I'm the only person besides you that can get under his skin. If you put two teenage pranksters in a house with a man easily susceptible to their trickery and taunting he's gonna get pissed and blow up like that. Though I have to admit it's a hell of a lot better than the usual blank expression always on his face. His anger gives his appearance character." Kagome laughed. They made sure the coast was clear and then Kagome went downstairs with Inuyasha to eat dinner and then tuck Ryoichi into bed for the night. Once they did that they went into their room and went to sleep. Kagome thought that Inuyasha was going to try to make a move but she was lucky that he had gotten so tired from everything that had happened that day that he immediately fell asleep.
Kagome laid there in the dark for a while thinking about everything that had happened. They went to the zoo, got married, she moved in to his house, met Kagura, had a drama unfold in the kitchen and now she realized they had some pretty good blackmail. It had been one hectic day. She finally fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Kagome woke up to the sound of water running and sat up. Inuyasha wasn't next to her so she looked toward the bathroom and saw Inuyasha's silhouette in the shower. She would have to ask Myoga to get the door fixed. She stood up, stretched and walked into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Inuyasha screamed and opened the shower door to glare at her.
"What the hell, Kags?" He asked angrily. She grinned a toothpasty grin.
"So sorry." She said insincerely. Inuyasha growled and flicked water at her. She squealed and wiped her face with her tank top. She finished brushing her teeth and Inuyasha finished up his shower. He brushed his teeth and Kagome took her own shower. When she finished she went back into the bedroom and changed into a red miniskirt and black tank top with a red skull and crossbones on it. Inuyasha was already dressed and was sitting on the bed. Kagome walked to the other side and put on her watch. The camera was next to it and she picked it up. She looked the camera over and gave Inuyasha a sidelong glance. "So we gonna go get this thing developed on the way to school?"
Inuyasha looked at the camera. "Hell yes. There is no way I'm leaving this camera here without having that film developed. That would be absolutely stupid." Inuyasha said and they walked out of the room. Kagome laughed and jogged down the stairs and headed to the kitchen to tell Myoga they were leaving. She found Ryoichi eating some oatmeal and singing to Myoga. She laughed and kissed him on the forehead. Inuyasha came in and they both said goodbye to him.
"Well your middle name is stupid so I would expect that of you." She said as they came back from the kitchen. Inuyasha growled softly and smacked her on her ass. She laughed and ran out the front door to go to the garage. Inuyasha went to follow her and almost smashed into her when he saw she was stopped.
"Kagome, what the hell?" He said and looked over her shoulder and his eyes widened.
"Kikyo?" He asked incredulously.
Hee hee hee! ANOTHER CLIFFIE! I am so evil it's my middle name... well actually it's Michelle, but... um... yea... review please?
