Chapter Four: The babies meet Kagomes family
"Come on Inuyasha, wake up, wake u, wake up" Yelled Kagome bursting with excitement "get up lazy bones" Inuyasha slowly and almost painfully opened his eyes she could see the anger in Inuyasha's eyes "what's wrong with you?" asked Kagome raising an eyebrow to Inuyasha's look "what's wrong is that I didn't get a bloody wink of sleep last night" Kagome still had her eyebrow up wandering he was going on about "the babies, they were up all night" said Inuyasha still very angrily. Kagome had a quick think about last night; she didn't remember the babies waking up at all "what do you mean, the babies were silent?" Inuyasha became even angrier "the babies wailed for hours on end, you so didn't so much as roll over to scratch yourself" Inuyasha stared at her; he could tell from her face that she really had no idea what he was talking about "you mean you didn't hear a thing" Kagome's look said it all "we really need to get you checked out, you being pregnant must have messed you up really good" Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and attempted to haul him up, failing that he stood up anyway just to annoy her.
Inuyasha stood up holding the newborn pups in his arms, as he stepped out he saw Shippo, Sango and Miroku waiting for them, Kagome came out moments after with her bike and her bag, in the light she could see just how much Inuyasha looked like the perfect father. "Shall we go then" said Kagome with a brilliant smile on her face Inuyasha passed one of the babies to Kagome and she put Kaito into her pouch that Inuyasha made specifically for her whilst he was reading his favourite book on how to care of your wife preventing her from doing anything, going anywhere or saying anything for almost twelve months.
"We'll be back in a couple of days so make yourselves busy" said Kagome as she watched Inuyasha lower himself into the well while holding the babies in his arms with such care, it brought a smile to Kagome's face, at that moment Inuyasha looked up and said in the most offensive way "what are you staring at?" the mood was ruined. Kagome then stood up on the well getting ready to go on the other side to see her family but Shippo didn't want her to go "Kagome please don't leave me what if you don't come back I won't see you or my brother and sisters again" Shippo's big eyes began to swell up with tears "Shippo we're not going away for good okay that's a promise" Shippo was still crying by the time Miroku was able to pry him off of Kagome's leg and sit him back down beside him. "Don't be gone too long" said Sango with a smile. "we wont" said Kagome back as she let herself down to the bottom of the well with Inuyasha at which point there was a flash of light, and then they were back in Kagome's time. Inuyasha grabbed hold of Kagome and launched himself out of the well and softly landed just on the rims edge he gently placed her on the ground at which point Kaito began to cry Kagome grabbed her out of his arms knowing exactly what to do, "she's just hungry, the others will be soon as well". The split second of the babies crying must have been enough for Souta (Kagome's brother) to know that they were back for at that moment he burst through the doors of the shrine and came running towards them he saw the baby Kagome was feeding and looked up to see what Inuyasha was holding, Souta's face lit up almost as much as Shippo's did when he first saw the babies. "Souta I would like to introduce you to your nieces and nephew, this is Kaito" she gestured the baby to show Souta that it was the one in her arms, Inuyasha stepped down and joined them as Kagome went on with "then this is Hitomi" as she pointed to the girl in Inuyasha's arms Souto just had to blurt it out "what's wrong with her eyes" Inuyasha took this comment as if he was insulted and put on an appalled face at what Souta had said "What do you mean she your sisters baby nothing is wrong with her" Souta realized that Inuyasha was offended and to save his life said "woah, woah sorry it's just – her eyes were a bit odd, I've never seen purple eyes before" Looking away insulted Inuyasha continued to hold the babies as Kagome finished "and finally this is Kiyoko" Souta stood there for a moment and then said "Isn't that the name of the girl he cheated on you with" painstakingly slow Inuyasha's head turned like a crank until it came afull around looking at Souta dead in the face " what did you say" immediately Souta responded "I'm going to go get mum and grandad" with that he turned and ran as fast as he could "little brat" murmured Inuyasha, Kagome turned her head and was about to speak but then she saw something, Hitomi eyelids open and saw that her eyes were bright red, they were filled with rage and anger Kagome gulped, Inuyasha heard this and turned his head checking to see what was wrong he saw that she was staring at Hitomi her eyes were shut and then they slowly opened once again, they were purple "what are you staring at" asked Inuyasha, Kagome was still trying to figure out what the hell had just happened, as Inuyasha took a step closer towards Kagome she came out of her trance and said "what" Inuyasha looked at her like she was stupid and began to walk away, Kagome went on defense wondering what she did to get that look from him "Hey" she said "What was that look for" she asked following him out. Kagome wondered where was Souta he said he was getting Mum and grandpa a while ago, what could be keeping him. Inuyasha pulled the door open as unnecessarily hard as he could, he entered the house followed by Kagome she couldn't here anything she decided to check in the living room to see if she was there, just as Kagome was opening the door Inuyasha picked up some specific voices in the other room with his ears, he attempted to prevent Kagome from entering but it was too late Kagome had opened, the door.
Inuyasha moved quickly and silently away from the light that was just brought in form the door being slid open he watched Kagome standing in the doorway frozen in her current position. "Ka-Kagome is tha -is that you" Inuyasha new that voice and he could smell that familiar scent. It was Yuka one of Kagome's school friends, why didn't he see it before, but wait he could smell others in the room, and one had just entered Inuyasha would have clenched his fists and started to growl had he not have been holding two of his babies. "Oh my god Kagome why do you have that baby, whose is it." Kagome was in shock Inuyasha could smell the sweat she was beginning to excrete, he could see Kagome's eyes darting around that room, she could see that her mother and grandpa were talking to her friends before she had burst in. She then noticed that Hojo was holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. Kagome began to curse herself and she was thinking what to do and why Inuyasha hadn't smelt, of heard them. It was moments before anyone spoke Hojo was the first to speak "whose baby is that Kagome" Kagome remained still she couldn't move she couldn't even make a noise to herself she began to pray that Inuyasha would save her from this hell. "oh my god she's so cuuuuuuttteeee" said Yuka as Kagome's friends arose to go to see the baby. They crowded around little baby Kaito they then noticed that she had abnormal ears, Kagome thought up some kind of excuse for this but nothing came to mind she was still frozen in place. A few seconds later Kaito began to cry and Kagome's friends began to simultaneously say "awe" for a prolonged time. For moments Kagome thought that if Inuyasha stayed quiet she may just be able to make it through this using Kaito cuteness as a distraction from why she has a child in her arms. Everything was fine Kagome began to rock Kaito to try and calm her, but then Hojo began to come closer to see the baby "can I help you with that" Kagome cursed once more in her mind because she knew what would come next "no don't you dare touch my baby" Kagome went pale, Inuyasha's jealousy got to him he burst forward blocking Hojo from Kaito and Inuyasha took her and said to Kagome "here she needs to be changed" taking Kaito out of her hands and handing her Hitomi while still carrying Kiyoko in his hands Inuyasha made his way over to a bench where he began to change Kaito on the table. Even though he was acting out of jealousy she still admired him for being so helpful. Then Kagome had noticed her friends piecing it together, in Kagome's mind there weren't enough swears or curse she knew that could express how she felt. Hojo still was obviously not even close to figuring it out, she was glad however, she finished her school about a year ago and yet she had already had three children with a man she complained about almost twenty four seven for being the most arrogant, self absorbed bully ever, and yet here she was holding three babies that looked exactly like him and her mixed together, boy was she screwed.
Her friends were still giggling by the time Inuyasha had changed Kaito , the giggling then stopped when they got a good look at Inuyasha and the baby's "Um Kagome why do the babies look exactly like Inuyasha?" Kagome felt like she could topple over, she clearly gave her friends to much credit. Ayumi asked the next questions "Ah, are those dog ears you're wearing?" obviously she thought it was some kind of costume, "yeah and why are the babies wearing them as well" "wow I really gave my friends to much credit" thought Kagome to herself. She looked over at Inuyasha hoping for some help, he only seemed interested in keeping the babies away from Hojo. "HOW CAN THIS GET ANY WORSE" screamed Kagome in her mind.
Suddenly Ayumi's mind clicked when she noticed the wedding ring Kagome had on her finger, Ayumi nudged the other girls with her shoulders the girls looked around slightly and followed Aymui's eyes to see what she was looking at. Kagome mind exploded as she screamed in her mind at Inuyasha "oh no there onto us". Upon noticing the girls staring Hojo saw that Kagome had a wedding ring he walked over to get a better look at it by grabbing her hand, Inuyasha began to growl at him, Hojo didn't seem to notice neither did the girls they followed Hojo towards Kagome and saw the ring on her finger, they then started looking at the babies, Inuyasha Kagome and the ring, trying to figure out if they were correct. Inuyasha began to lose his patience," what is up with you people, is it honestly that hard to see" no Inuyasha said Kagome to herself, Inuyasha notice that Hojo was still holding Kagome's hand, he came between them and forced Hojo and the girls to back away from Kagome. "Nothing to say hah" Inuyasha then rose his hand and presented to them that he too was wearing a wedding ring "anything you wanna say Hojo began to stutter "uh-wel-I ah-" whereas the girls rushed over and started dancing giggling and almost breaking into dancing "why didn't you tell us?," asked one of the girls "how was the honeymoon? "said another girl giving a seductive look and giggleing to Kagome "when did you fall pregnant", "What are there names", "is he good in bed", "is he still all the things you said he was" "why didn't you invite us to the wedding?" asked someone with a whimper in her voice. Kagome began to gasp overwhelmed with all of these questions "why are the baby's eyes that colour" said Eri looking seriously at the Hitomi, without realising it Hitomi had opened her eyes to the girls, however they were red again, This is a worry thought Kagome she turned to Inuyasha still standing by the doorway growling at the flabbergasted Hojo "Inuyasha" called Kagome, he didn't respond. "what Hojo, is something the matter" said Inuyasha to Hojo whilst he backed Hojo up against the open doorway "Kagome and I are mates now so back of" without noticing Hojo had backed all the way out of the house and onto the veranda, by the time he had realised this Inuyasha had already slammed the sliding door shut "bang" Kagome's friends apparently hadn't heard any of that, they were still staring at Hitomi's eyes, as Inuyasha once Inuyasha turned around Kagome said "Inuyasha look at Hitomi's eyes" Hitomi once again opened her eyes, Kagome let out a sigh of frustration Hitomi's eyes were purple once more. "Ah her eyes are purple now" screamed Ayumi as loud as she could, Inuyasha looked at her annoyingly "what are you talking about her eyes were always purple" Inuyasha said this with his old cranky voice "here Ayumi could you take Hitomi for a moment" Inuyasha refused "no I don't want them holding my pups" Kagome's raised an eyebrow at the use of the word 'pups' but they soon forgot about it when Kagome thrust Hitomi into there arms. "Inuyasha something is up with Hitomi's eyes", the important talk that Kagome wanted was in vain, as Inuyasha was high on his toes trying to see Kagome's friends holding his newborn pup. Kagome snapped her finguers at him "hey wake up" she gave him a quick punch at which point Hitomi began to wail very loudly. Inuyasha dashed around Kagome just giving her enough time to catch Kaito and Kiyoko in her arms as he ran his way to Hitomi crying. Kagome's friends were only given a split second to even try calming Hitomi. "WHAT DID YOU DO" screeched Inuyasha, the girls drew back in fear, Kagome walked to Inuyasha while carrying the babies and spoke in a calming and slow voice attempting to calm the half demon "hey they didn't do it, calm do Inuyasha" as Inuyasha's rage subsided Hitomi stopped crying and began to smile and giggle, Inuyasha let out a happy smile Kagome was in shock though, him smiling like that was such a rare sight even though they were married. Kagome's friends were still weary oven the half demon, then Eri's phone began to ring, she slapped herself on the face in shock of the time "holy crap we should have been gone, half an hour ago". Ayumi got her last look at the babies, Kagome and Inuyasha and proceeded to leaving out the living room as she left she grabbed hold of Eri and Yura's ears they let out a little screech but followed Ayumi out of the house "bye" they said in perfect sink before disappearing out the doorway.
