Chapter 6

Foxgem: Yo! I am very happy to get this chapter done. I had to go to a family reunion in Utah…with a group of 80 people…. no joke. It was horrible and I haven't time to write. I cannot tell you what your answers did for me. It totally broke my block! Blasted it! I am sooo evil! HEHEHE! Oh and I can't answer many people but I do want to put a shout out to the fallowing:

AYO: Look, I won't stop writing this story and the Unforgettable weeks story. The other ones are…practically dead, maybe. I have to take them off…if any of you want to take it and run with it…go for it. I am currently working on 4 other stories. Stressful. Thanks for reviewing. Oh and the Rain story might.

The Bow and Arrow sisters: okay Bow…I believe that there must be SOME drug out there to cure it! When you find it…give me a ring…I WANT IT! LOL!

Now that I did my thanks…I just want to say…I don't own Inuyasha or any characters. Thank you.

Chapter 6 The Deal

Inuyasha sat in Kagome's guest bedroom staring at the wall. Inuyasha scowled at the wall. Kagome hadn't even really looked at him since everyone had left after dinner. She barley spoke three words to him. What was wrong with her? Was she still mad at him? He had no clue. None. What did he do? He had no idea. But whatever her feelings for him did not matter when it came to his son.

As soon as everyone had left she immediately took Shippo under her wing and did everything with him. In fact it looked as though she had three children instead of two! She gave him a bath with Kara and Nathan…she got him dressed in his favorite Pj's that Shippo only let Inuyasha put on… she did everything! They even wrestled!

Not that it was bad. No. It was just that…they completely ignored him! Like he was just a piece of furniture in the room! They didn't ask if he wanted to join in the fun. Not even for hide and seek! They had played for a full half hour before it was time for bed. He was going to read them all a story but Kagome beat him to it.

After the kids were in bed, Kagome had hurried off and did the dishes and after that she practically ran to her room with a quiet goodnight to him.

Inuyasha shook his head. He may have had two wives but that didn't mean he understood women. Kagome was just confusing as he last two wives, if not that maybe more! Here she greeted him with warmness and the next she was ignoring him.

Inuyasha sighed out in frustration. He was way too tired for this! Inuyasha shut off the light and climbed into the bed hoping that tomorrow would be better.

Downstairs Kagome sat in front of her mirror, in her bedroom, brushing her hair. Today did not go as planned. Here she planned to welcome him in warmly and have a ball with him. Instead…he was cold.

During dinner, Inuyasha seemed to be distant. When someone would ask him a question, they would have to re- ask it several times before he would answer. Then after everyone left…He stayed away from her and the kids. She almost invited him twice but the scowl on his face stopped her.

Oh well…maybe tomorrow would be better. Kagome sighed as she laid the brush down. Kagome looked herself in the mirror. Her hair was straight and silky. Her skin was smooth. Her body was slim and perfect. But…her eyes were tired...full of sadness and trouble. Her sprit ached. What was going on? What was happing to her? It wasn't like this before…sure she was always tired but when did her spirit begin to ache?

Kagome shook her head. It did no good to wonder on stuff like that. It was probably because Hojo called. That was it. Why wouldn't he just leave her alone? Why? He broke her heart and dumped…no not dump…threw her out the window! He had given her his children to raise all by herself. What could he possible do? What did he want from her?

Kagome shook her head. Hojo was the last person she wanted to think about! Kagome sighed as she climbed into bed and shut off the light. Maybe tomorrow would be better. Hopefully.

BANG! CRASH! BOOM!

"INUYASHA! GET SHIPPO OFF OF KARA!"

"I WILL AS SOON AS YOU GET KARA OFF OF SHIPPO!"

BOOM! CLANG! CRASH!

"AAHH! KARA STOP IT THIS INSTANT OR I'LL---NATHAN! STOP BITING YOUR SISTER!"

Kagome and Inuyasha were in the middle of WW IV. It all started at 7:30 when the kids woke up. Shippo had taken the rest of Kara's favorite cereal without giving any to Kara. Then Kara wouldn't let Shippo watch his morning show. After that Shippo pushed over Nathan. Then the attack came.

Inuyasha and Kagome weren't even properly dressed yet. Inuyasha was just in some shorts with no shirt while Kagome was running around in her partial see through nightgown.

Kagome couldn't take much more of this. While Kagome grabbed one kid, another kid came up and kicked her. In which the child that she had been holding ran away.

Inuyasha had better luck. He gripped Nathan and just held on while the kid kicked and screamed. Inuyasha had no idea to stop this. He only could pray for the kids give up.

"INUYASHA? GO DOWN STAIRS AND IN THE CLOSET-OW! GET ME THE 2 PLAY –OOF! PENS!" Kagome yelled over the racket.

"ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN HANDLE THIS?" Inuyasha asked trying to get Nathan to let go of his hair.

"JUST GO! I CAN HOLD THEM OFF FOR AWHILE!" Kagome said griping on kid in one arm and another kid in the other.

Inuyasha dropped Nathan on the couch and ran downstairs and opened up the coat closet. In side was 2 Play pens. Inuyasha grabbed them and ran upstairs.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH THEM?" Inuyasha asked.

"OPEN THEM UP! FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!" Kagome was now wrestling all the kids.

Inuyasha set one at the far end of the room and the other one he set up in the hallway.

"NOW WHAT?" Inuyasha screamed.

"TAKE KARA AND DUMP HER IN ONE!"

"BUT-OW! WHO THREW THAT? BUT SHE CAN CLIMB OUT!"

"JUST PUT HER IN IT!"

Which was harder said then done. As soon as Kara saw him coming she began to throw plastic balls at his head. And believe it or not she had a very good aim.

Inuyasha scooped up Kara dumped her soundly in it.

"NOW WHAT?" Inuyasha asked.

"CONTROL YOUR SON!" Kagome yelled.

Inuyasha spotted Shippo behind the couch and dove for him.

Meanwhile Kagome picked up Nathan and dumped in the other playpen. And as soon as his bottom touched the bottom of the playpen he began to wail.

Kagome shoved a blanket in the playpen with Nathan's teddy bear. Then she ran off to see Kara.

Like normal Kara was trying to find a way out. But she soon found that her legs were too short to jump over the side she began to climb her way out. As soon as she got to the top ready to jump out Kagome came in and put her back in the pen. Then Kagome took Cardboard pieces and shoved them between the mesh and the bars holding the structure.

Kara began to have a hissy fit. Her body began to do convulsions.

Kagome dusted off her hands and let Kara scream along with Nathan. Then she turned around to a horrible sight. All the furniture was turned over and her lamps were on the floor shattered. In the middle of the room Shippo lay with Inuyasha wrestling. Shippo was loosing horribly. Finally Inuyasha picked the pup up be the scruff of the neck and held so Shippo's eyes met his. At that point Shippo was just trying to wriggle away.

By this time Kagome had enough. "THAT'S IT! I HAVE HAD IT! SHUT UP!" Kagome yelled. And sure enough everything went quiet.

"Shippo! Look what you did to my living room! It is a mess! An absolute mess! Kara! Stop that infernal screeching right this minute! Since you behaved like a baby I am going to treat you like a child! You will stay in that playpen for a whole week if you continue on like this. Nathan! Shut your mouth! You are old enough to stop the water works! You are going to spend time out there in your own pen! As for Shippo-wait. …I have the perfect place for them. Inuyasha…please fallow me." Kagome said taking a deep breath.

Kagome motioned him downstairs onto the main floor then took him down to the basement. They passed the Jacuzzi room and in the far back there was a tall but skinny door. Kagome opened it up ant led Inuyasha inside.

The room was tiny. It was 6feet across and 9 feet long. The only piece of furniture in the room was a mattress that was in the middle of the room.

"What is this room?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh…well…I don't know. It was here when I bought it. I mean the mattress. I never had no idea what to use this room for. But I think I know now. If you wouldn't mind going and getting Kara and Shippo while I watch Shippo." Kagome said taking Shippo in her arms.

Inuyasha eyed her. She had that funny look in her eyes again. The look that she gives before she does something mischievous. But he went and got the kids. All the kids went deathly silent as they entered the room. Kagome let go of Shippo and stood with Inuyasha at the front of the room.

"This is to be the time out room. You will be given a blanket and one lamp. You three will stay here till there is no hard feelings what so ever. And you have to show me how well you get along. Meals will be brought down to you. You get one serving each along with a drink of your choice. Since you all were horrible up there…you have to stay in this room for 2 hours before I come and check on how well you are doing." Kagome said in a very business tone. Then she turned to Inuyasha. "Will you watch them? I will go and grab the blankets and the lamp. If they try to make a break for it…we will add 5 more hours."

Before she left Shippo raised his hand. "Yes?" Kagome asked looking at him.

"Um…can you also bring down a clock?" Shippo asked.

"I can do that." Kagome said slowly then she left.

Inuyasha was going to have to applaud Kagome. She had these kids scarred stiff. She had made it sound like this was going to be horrible! No…the time out room was perfect. It was away from the rest of the house…and if you screamed…no one would even hear it! It was perfect. It was just the thing he was looking for…for him and Kagome.

Kagome returned with her arms bulging. She threw in 3 huge king sized comforters and set a Mickey Mouse clock on the table. Then she set down a goofy lamp and plugged it in. Then with a bow she left the room leaving Inuyasha to shut the door.

When Inuyasha shut it Kagome locked the door. Then they began to make their way upstairs. "They are going to be alright right?" Inuyasha asked nervously.

"Oh yeah. The whole two hours is the time during their naps. And they will be sleeping. Think of how much energy they wasted by running around. Now you and I can get dressed in peace and I can clean this house." Kagome said smiling.

Inuyasha just about drank her whole image in. Her gown was a mess. It showed off her chest and her curves even more. Her hair was a rats nest but it made her looks so good.

"Kagome, I am sorry about your furniture. I am going to replace it." Inuyasha said suddenly remembering.

"What? Inuyasha…no. No. Don't bother. You can't be wasting your money on me." Kagome said trying to smooth her gown out.

"Kagome…I have so much money…it isn't funny. Brain surgeons get a lot. Plus the inheritance that I got from my Father. Don't worry. I broke your furniture and I will fix it." Inuyasha said smiling.

"Oh…Okay…if…if it will make you feel better." Kagome said lamely.

"I have a little problem though." Inuyasha said stopping on the stairs to the top floor.

"What?"

"Well…I need clothes remember? My clothes are missing and I don't have anything to wear. When can we go shopping?" Inuyasha asked.

"WE?" Kagome almost yelled as she stared at him.

"Well yeah. I need your help. You know how bad I am when it comes to clothes! I can barley match to socks up." Inuyasha said with a huge smile.

"You always did have trouble. Umm…I don't know when I will be free. I have to watch the kids and clean-" Kagome began but Inuyasha cut her off.

"Look, we…uh…we have not been together in how long? 6 years? We need to catch up on things. I want to know what you been up to…and some other things. Besides…you need some time off. Lets go and relax a bit. A night on the town. As for the kids…we can get a baby sitter. Don't say it is too late. Lets call up Sango and Miroku. They would be more than happy." Inuyasha said with a smile.

"You sure they would do it?" Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's eyes.

"I'm sure." Inuyasha said, "So…uh what about it?"

Kagome found it hard to breathe. Her heart pounded in her ears. Why not go out with him? WHY? She knew exactly why! She wasn't ready for this! How could she handle her feelings and do everything that was expected of her? Besides she was done with men!

Oh shut up! It's not like he asked us out on a date! He just wants catch up on things. That's what friends do!

Even if it is not a date…one thing always leads to another!

"I would love that." Kagome's mouth said on it's own accord.

WHERE IN THE HECK DID THAT COME FROM? She was supposed to say no thank you! She was done with men!

But he isn't a man.

Oh Shut Up! Don't you remember that a MALE hurt us?

But this male has never let us down. He has never hurt us. He loves us.

You don't know that! How do you know that he won't hurt us?

Look! I'm the heart and you are the brain! Don't YOU remember how he warned us? How he took care of us when we were sick? Don't you remember the way he held us in his arms? Remember when we sent him away breaking his heart in two? We owe him.

Yeah…he did do that. And yes…we do owe him. Well…this will just be something to make us even then.

Exactly.

Kagome shook her head. That was a weird conversation! Her heart and mind just got in a fight over…over him. They never did that for…No! She was not going to dwell on Hojo! Today was going to a perfect, and tonight she was going to spend time with Inuyasha.

"Great! I uh…Kagome? Is there anything you would let me borrow to wear for today?" Inuyasha asked looking down at himself.

"Yeah… I think I have some of your old clothes from when we had the blizzard and I was stuck at your apartment. Um…why don't you eat some breakfast while I will get dressed?" Kagome said remembering her gown.

"Okay sounds great."

In the basement Kara sat facing a wall holding her blanket tightly around her. She had picked out the perfect blanket. It was soft and warm…not to mention huge. Kara snuck a look at Shippo who was wrapped up in a bright red blanket similar to hers.

This was all his fault. If he hadn't taken her cereal and pushed Nathan…none of this wouldn't have happened. They would have been upstairs watching TV!

"Kara…Kara?" Came a small voice behind her. Kara turned to see her frozen brother.

"Kara it's cold." Nathan said dancing around on the mattress. "Get your blanket and tie it around you." Kara said rolling her eyes.

"My blanket is cold." Nathan whined.

"Fine. Come get in here with me." Kara opened her blanket for him. Nathan rushed into her arms and fell asleep as she tucked him in.

"You know…it is cold all by yourself." Came Shippo's voice all the way across the room.

"Good. Maybe then you'll learn some manners." Kara said sticking out her tongue.

"Please? I am sorry for what I did. Please?" Shippo pleaded.

"There is no room." Kara objected.

"Then why don't we add all three blankets together." Shippo said picking up Nathan's and dragging it where Kara was.

Kara studied the blanket in Shippo's hands.

"Okay." Kara smiled at Shippo.

"Great! Lets get working."

"Inuyasha? Did you check on the kids while I changed?" Kagome called as she began to do the break fast dishes.

"Yeah. They are sound asleep." Inuyasha called from the guest bedroom changing.

"Did you call Sango and Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"Not yet. I will as soon as I put on these pants." Inuyasha said struggling into them.

"Are you having trouble?" Kagome called.

"Yeah…apparently I got bigger. Didn't think that I did but now as I struggle into these…clothes…it seems I got a lot bigger! Since when did I-" Inuyasha cut off. He was about to ask when did he ever give her jeans, boxers, and his favorite T-shirt. It was a night to remember.

It was the night they were locked up together in his house alone. Her clothes were soaked through and she couldn't stay in them for fear of getting sick. He had given her stuff to change into while he dried them. They sat around the fire talking. And at one point almost doing it. Only…he had broken it off. He didn't want her to think that he had taken advantage of her. Only now…did he wish that he continued it. Then none of this would have happened to Kagome.

"What did you say?" Kagome asked coming next to the door.

"I was just going to ask since when did I wear a size 15!" Inuyasha lied.

Kagome laughed, "What are you, Size 12?"

"How do I know? I just grab a pair of jeans and go!" Inuyasha said.

Kagome doubled with laughter.

Inuyasha took a deep breath and walked out.

Kagome's laughter stopped abruptly as the door opened. Her mouth opened in shock. She couldn't seem to close it. He was gorgeous. He was wearing baggy Levis, with a tight black T-shirt. It showed everything. Every muscle and every curve. Kagome found it hard to talk.

And strangely…neither did Inuyasha. Her out fit looked perfect. She wore a Dark blue tight T-shirt with short shorts. It looked heavenly.

Finally Inuyasha found his voice. "Um…I am going to call Sango and Miroku. Um…do you have a time you want them to be here?"

"…What? Oh! Um…how long do you think we need?" Kagome asked getting up.

"All day. I call and ask if they can come right away." Inuyasha said smiling.

"Sounds good. I will open the door to the kids room so they can get out when they wake up." Kagome said heading for the stairs.

Inuyasha smiled after her. Sexy. Inuyasha took out his cell and dialed Miroku and Sango.

"Hello?" Came Miroku's tired voice.

"Oh come on buddy! It is almost lunchtime. Look…I need a favor from you." Inuyasha said pacing.

" Like what?" Miroku asked getting out the bed he shared with Sango.

"I need you and Sango to come over and watch the kids for us."

"No way! Today is a day for just me and Sango." Miroku said staring at his girl waking up.

"Kagome and I need some catching up to do and we have to go shopping for me." Inuyasha said scratching his head.

"So...lock the kids up, shop online and eat a meal together. There you go." Miroku said running his hand through Sango's hair.

"Who is it?" Sango asked sleepily.

"Hold on. Inuyasha…I have to talk to Sango." Miroku said. Then he covered the phone with hand and kissed his girl good morning.

"It's Inuyasha. He wants us to baby sit while they go and get to know each other." Miroku said staring into her eyes.

"Tell him yes." Sango said sitting.

"But…But…" Miroku began to pout.

"I know today was supposed to be our day…but Kagome needs this. I will make it up to you though." Sango said with an evil smile.

"Oh…but…but.."

"I'll do what ever you want. I promise." Sango said kissing Miroku.

When they were done Miroku was the one with the evil smile. Sango knew she was going to regret it.

"Inuyasha? Are you still there?" Miroku called into the phone.

"Unfortunately." Came the dry response.

"Good. Sango and I will do it. In fact…we will be there in an half an hour." Miroku said smiling.

"Really? Great! Thanks Miroku! And say thank you to your lover too." Inuyasha said ringing off.

45 minutes later Kagome was driving her Mini van while Inuyasha navigated.

"Okay well…we better begin with the questions now." Kagome said smiling.

"Alright. Lets play…10 questions fair?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Fair. But I go first. Question #1 Is it true that you have been married twice?" Kagome asked.

"Yes. But now they are both deceased. Now my turn, question #1 Who is Nathan's true parents." Inuyasha asked.

Kagome almost rammed into the car next to her. How did he know…? Kagome swallowed and glanced at him. He was calm.

Kagome took a deep breath before she answered.

"Nathan's dad is Hojo…and his mother is Erin." Kagome said forcing herself to concentrate on the road.

"You mean that modeling girl! The one that was one of your best friends?" Inuyasha asked horrified.

"That is your second question. Yes…that Erin. Okay I am done with the ten questions for now." Kagome said turning into the next lane.

"Oh no you don't! Kagome I want to know all. Every little detail. What happened after I left?" Inuyasha's voice was filled with intensity.

"Inuyasha please…I don't like dwelling on the past." Kagome's voice was soft.

"I need to know…Kagome please…" Inuyasha pleaded.

"Fine…" Then before Kagome knew it. She spilled everything out. All the torture, all of her pain, all of her worries, and what happened the night her Angel entered her life.

Inuyasha's eyes held pain. Pain for her. Pain that he wasn't there to stop Hojo. Pain that she didn't heed his warning.

Kagome was ready to have break down. She was shaky and she could barley keep the car straight. She finally had to get off the road and parked at a gas station. Then she took her head in her hands and cried. Inuyasha just quietly took her in her arms and let her wept.

When she was done she pulled away from him and smiled a sad smile. "I am so sorry. I thought I was over it…but I guess not. It just…never made sense to me." Kagome wiped her tears and started the engine again.

"Kagome…how did you possibly deal with it at the time?" Inuyasha asked softly.

"I had Kara to support and I had a family that cared." Kagome smiled sadly.

"Why didn't you call me?" Inuyasha asked.

"Call you? I didn't know where you were and Sess wouldn't tell me. I guess he didn't want to screw things up with your life. I wanted you to come and kick Hojo's butt…but Naruku beat you to it. Which reminds me, I have something to tell you. Hojo is coming in 6 days. He wants to see the children…not that he cares about them of course…Inuyasha? What are you doing?" Kagome asked as she glanced at him.

Inuyasha was ready to tear the whole car apart. "HE is coming HERE?"

"Uh…yeah. I just told you that." Kagome said slowly.

"NO. I will NOT allow it. I am not going to have you hurt!" Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha please! Get a grip on your self. I have no say in the matter he does have visiting rights, though. I have no choice. If I say no and refuse to let him…then he can go to the authorities and take them away from me." Kagome scowled. "I know…how you feel though. I don't want him to come. I am scared out of my mind!"

"Don't worry. I will be there. I will take care of that…that…-" Inuyasha clenched his fists.

"You don't have to be there. I mean…I don't need some one to hold my hand every step of the way." Kagome said looking at him.

"Oh I WILL be there. I promise." Inuyasha smiled evilly

"Oh no! Not if you can't control your self. Promise me-" Kagome began

"Turn here." Inuyasha directed.

"What?"

"This is our exit. Turn here." Inuyasha said pointing out the window.

"Oh yeah…do not change the subject! I will not have you there beating up Hojo. You have to promise me to act civilized and to treat him as a human." Kagome said getting ready for a fight.

Inuyasha grinned evilly and began to rub his hands together. "Oh don't worry…I'll treat him as a HUMAN."

Kagome smacked her forehead. Kagome parked the car and got out.

"This is not over Inuyasha! Look…you have to treat him as an equal." Kagome said crossing her arms.

"No can do. He is nowhere near my level! I will NOT treat him as an equal!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Then you won't be there!" Kagome said walking off.

"Oh no! I am going to be there! If so much as touches you or the kids…he's a dead man!" Inuyasha said grabbing her arm.

"If YOU so much as touch, growl, hurt, pound, or look at him funny…YOU'RE dead!" Kagome yelled wriggling her arm free.

"Here we go again! Remember the first time this happened? This is where you are supposed to say, 'Go away and leave me alone!' and stomp off!" Inuyasha yelled. As soon as those words were out…there was no way taking them back.

Kagome's eyes went sad and her sent smelled strongly of hurt.

"Look Kagome…I'm sorry. I know that you only said those things because you were mad. I'm just…worried. I'm being the over protective guy again." Inuyasha sighed.

Kagome smiled a little. "It's okay. I wouldn't have it any other way. Can we drop this subject for now? This is supposed our fun day. Lets not attack each other."

"That would be wonderful." Inuyasha said smiling. Inuyasha held out his arm and Kagome took it with a laugh.

"First things first," Kagome began once they got into the mall.

"To the furniture department!" Inuyasha said beginning to lead the way.

"Oh no! To the clothes department!" Kagome said dragging Inuyasha.

"Oh no…I'll never make it out alive!" Inuyasha said trying to stop Kagome from going into the clothes department.

"Don't be silly!" Kagome said with a smile as they got in. "Now just take this, this, this, this, this, this, and this into the dressing rooms and try them on."

Inuyasha staggered into the dressing rooms carrying a full load. The guy at the desk of the dressing rooms looked at him and smiled. "Dude, your wife has you eating out the palm of her hand. Good luck!"

"I wish you could-" Inuyasha began but Kagome hollered "INUYASHA! What are you doing! We don't have all day! Move it!"

Inuyasha grumbled as he went in. None of his wives or other girls were like this! None! One moment she was angry at him and the next she was saying how they shouldn't fight, then she was ordering him around! But if that is what it takes…he was willing.

They spent 2 hours in the clothes department and bought him 10 new outfits. Then they headed over to the furniture store and Inuyasha bought her new furniture.

After that, Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a clothes shop and Kagome ended up buying 2 outfits for Kara and 2 for Nathan. Then Kagome bought herself a few things. Inuyasha didn't get a glimpse of them but Kagome said that he would see them in time.

After that Kagome and Inuyasha ate out at Panda Express. It was delicious.

"You know," Kagome said taking a bite of egg roll, "I can't bieleve that you got married twice. What happened to the 'Demon who runs alone'?"

"That's easy. It's called 'Demon Women' They don't take no very well. In fact once I had the guts to tell Nynaeve no about her family reunion. I ended up with all black and blue and going to the family reunion." Inuyasha laughed.

Kagome smiled. "So are things going for Shippo without a mother?"
"Well…he sometimes has nightmare about his mom dying. Even though he can't really remember her…somewhere in his conscience does. Not having a mother is rough on him but he takes it like a champ. Until I get called away on business. Then he stays at home alone with our Nanny and our Butler. Really nice old couple." Inuyasha said picking up his fork of rice.

"Oh…so that's why you spoil him." Kagome said smiling.

"Yeah. I know it is bad of me to do that…but what else can I do? Don't say get married! Everyone who I talk to is like, 'Go and Date!' 'Shippo needs a mother' or 'I have the perfect match for you!" Inuyasha mimicked.

Kagome laughed. "I know! Don't you hate that! I mean it's not like I don't want to get married again. It's that I am little a nervous about getting into the whole…dating thing again."

"You and me both. So how is it with Kara and Nathan?" Inuyasha asked.

"Kara and Nathan have never seen him. I threw all my pictures away and everything with his name on it. They know that they have a father and that he ran away or died. Nathan and Kara believe that I am both their mother and that they have different Fathers. I don't know when to tell them. I know I have to tell them soon though. With Hojo coming." Kagome sighed.

"You need to tell them as soon as possible. Kara will need time to digest it while Nathan…will need a while to think." Inuyasha said putting his hand over hers.

"But do I say when they ask why he left? What do I answer to 'Did he love me?' What do I say?" Kagome asked looking at him through grief stricken eyes.

"You tell them the truth. If the question arises about him loving them…you say I don't know. Then what you need to do is express how much you love them and let them know that they still have you. If I know you…you will do everything right." Inuyasha smiled reassuringly.

"Okay…but now we need to talk about you. Are you really going to be there?" Kagome asked changing the subject and taking her hand out from under his.

"Yes. I will be there." Inuyasha said eyeing her.

"Good…I mean…I want you there…to help me. You know…but I want to make it clear that I want you to be the perfect gentleman." Kagome said leaning back in her chair.

"That is going to cost." Inuyasha said with a smile.

"Oh really. What?" Kagome asked not liking the smile.

"You."

"WHAT?"

"No, I mean, your undivided attention." Inuyasha said seriously.

"You want me to be your slave?" Kagome asked unbelieving.

"No! Okay I am saying this all wrong. I do not want you to serve me hand and foot. What I want is…" Inuyasha paused. He could still turn back. Once he finished the sentence…there was no going back. Was she ready for this?

Foxgem: HA HA HA! BOO YAH! Who's your Daddy! Uh….just kidding. Well until next time…BYE!
