Foxgem: Hello. Well It looks like this story will soon be ending and I will really miss all of you. You all were truly wonderful and very encouraging. LOL! Well, maybe one day I will go back and fix my errors but right now my life is on the line and I can't afford to yet. Right now it is all I can do is to just keep writing these words. Even as we speak my mother is constantly looking over my shoulder. Anyway, I am not from England. However, I use it in my everyday life, religiously. I live in the U.S.A. Doesn't that fit? Those crazy, bloody Americans!! LOL!! And So with this I present unto you chapter 19 of abandoned. OH! One more thing, Um…I am not the best describer on houses…yeah…

Chapter 19- New House

The next couple of days were painful for both Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha had to deal with angry revengeful Kikyo (who by-the-way bullied her way onto the airplane by pure force), and Kagome had to deal with a mopy Naruku.

Nathan got out of the hospital 3 days later and back in the swing of things. He was soon running around with his siblings making all sorts of mischief. Like, Kara had gotten a stick of butter from the fridge and got the boys one too. They each took their butter and smeared it into the carpeted stairs. Kagome threw a fit. They all got on their hands and knees ( after a good spanking, of course) and washed it out by hand with the help of their mother and Aunts.

Sango and Miroku officially tied the knot and they moved out of their ruddy apartment and into a nice decent house. Actually it was better than decent. It was huge. When Kagome mentioned how big was, Miroku's reply had been that the house was an excuse for a goal. Fill it with as many children as possible. Sango didn't care to comment.

Inuyasha went back home and made preparations for his new family to come and for Naruku's surgery. The house was finished (with a little surprise for each family member) and Naruku was scheduled. Now, all Inuyasha had to do was to wait for them to get clearance to come over and why he waited he had all the paperwork he ever wanted.

Kikyo was…hoolies. Now you ask what is hoolies. It is the place where mothers tell their children that is where they are going to go if they are bad.

For example, on a really hot day Inuyasha stopped to fill up his car at a local gas station. Kikyo got out and wanted to get a drink. She went got the biggest size they had and filled it to the top with Coke and ice. She didn't bother putting the top on. She just grabbed a top and a straw. When she got up to the counter she gave him her money and set the cup down so she could put the top on. When she did so some of the coke got on the counter. The man looked coldly at her and commented, "If you didn't put so much in it then maybe it would fit." Kikyo stared at him. Then without saying a word, she picked up her cup and turned it upside down on the counter. Coke went everywhere. Kikyo walked out and made Inuyasha take her to a restaurant.

Not only that but Kikyo interviewed the man who was doing the operation for Naruku and totally bullied him. She asked question after question not waiting for an explanation. The poor guy had to sit there for 2 hours without break. Inuyasha finally stepped in and dragged her out.

Inuyasha was going to loose his mind. That woman would be the death of him.

Inuyasha was at his new home fixing the surprises when his phone rang. It was his Kagome ( no surprise there. She called every 2 hours)

"Hey baby. What is going on?" Inuyasha asked putting his attention to his project.

Kagome smiled. "We got clearance. We are leaving tonight and we will be there about 3 in the afternoon, tomorrow. So in about 24 hours I will be able to hug and kiss you all I want."

Inuyasha laughed. "That is awesome. I can't wait. How are the kids? Any more butter?"

"No. But don't I wish it was! Nathan took scissors to his hair because he thought he needed a haircut, I had to take him to place to see what they could do. All they did was buzz it. Nathan threw a fit. He wanted hair and he complains that it itches.

"Kara got into my make-up and now I have to go out and buy new make-up. Oh! It is terrible. I took pictures and I will show when I get there.

"Shippo, decided that it would be funny if he stuck marbles into the VCR, and little magnets into the DVD players so those are both gone. Then he decided to stick a marble up HIS nose and we went to the emergency room to get that out. I swear. As soon as you stepped out that door you took my angels and left theses little Devils."

Inuyasha was laughing so hard that he was crying. "They take after their father!"

For a second Kagome's heart stopped but then realized what he meant by that and tried to push it past her. Inuyasha kept talking as if he didn't notice anything. "Oh, I have missed them. You do tell them that I love them and I miss them right?"

"Of course! They keep asking for you. No doubt to save them from this monster." Kagome smiled.

"Well, the house is all ready for you, including my special surprise for all of you."

"Inuyasha, you didn't need to do that. You have given us a home, a father, and a family. You don't need to get us anything."

"Nonsense," Inuyasha retorted, "I told you, every time I go on a trip I always bring something back for my family. Being with you doesn't change anything."

"But that is not love. Objects cannot show me your love."

"No, but they mean that I was thinking of you while we were separated."

"Fine, I give up. But if our children grow up spoiled, don't blame me." Kagome hugged herself missing him. "I love you"

"I love you, too. I can't wait to see you." Inuyasha sat down imagining her in his arms.

Kagome giggled. "Me neither. Oh, I got to go. It is time to go pick up the kids. I love you so much."
"I love you more., bye." Inuyasha said smiling.

After they hung up Inuyasha stretched. Yeah! They were coming home. Finally. Inuyasha really missed the monsters. He needed to be with his family. Inuyasha sighed and got up. He still had so many things he had to get for tomorrow. Not to mention he had to get sleep. Oh…Inuyasha wished that time would just fast forward until he had her in his arms and his family safe underneath his roof.

2222222222222222222222222222

Inuyasha stood at the gate waiting, nervously. He hated not being with them! What if something happened? Like what if Shippo and Nathan took control of the airplane? Inuyasha sighed. He was being ridiculous. Next to him sat Large Kikyo (Kikyo: Take that back! Foxgem: NO!) fiddling with her fingers. Kikyo was frustrated. Already the plane was late 20 minutes and she wanted her man. Inuyasha felt the same way but he kept his feelings to himself.

Finally the gate opened and Kikyo was on her feet. Inuyasha stood by her holding her still. If he let go he would never see her again and then Naruku and Kagome would kill him for loosing her. Soon he saw Kara running to him. Inuyasha went down and swept her up in his arms.

"DADDY!" Kara squealed.

Inuyasha just laughed. Her voice had to be the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his entire life. Inuyasha hugged her tightly to him. "Kara! Oh I have missed you. Where are your brothers and mom?"

Kara pointed and sure enough Inuyasha saw them coming towards them. Kikyo let a moan escape her lips as she saw Naruku. Kikyo then held out her arms to him, in which Naruku walked into them hugging her to him tightly. The kissed and stood there for a long time.

Meanwhile, both boys grabbed his legs tightly giggling as he begged them to get off. Kagome just laughed at the scene including several other people who were just passing by. Finally, Inuyasha "dragged" Them to Kagome complaining that they wouldn't get off.

"Sorry, but am not about to lift a finger to help you. I already did my share by bringing them here." Kagome said trying not to laugh.

Inuyasha stuck out a lip. "But they are hurting me."

Kagome walked up close. "Here, I'll just kiss it better." Then she proceeded into carrying it out.

"Ewww!!" The three kids chimmed in.

Inuyasha pulled away rolling his eyes. "Oh, alright! Later, then, right now we have bigger issues. Who is hungry?"

"ME!" The Three kids chorused.

"Alright, it is decided. Lets go get something to eat." Inuyasha said smiling. The boys let go of Inuyasha legs and Nathan grabbed Inuyasha's hand while Shippo grabbed Kagome's.

Just before they left Naruku stopped them. "Did Kikyo eat out for most meals?" Inuyasha studied Naruku. He was dead serious.

"Yeah. Do you think I can argue with your wife? Especially after refusing to do your surgery?" Inuyasha shrugged.

Naruku scowled at Kikyo and she actually blushed. "You guys go on ahead. I will get another car for us. I am going to cook dinner for us."

"Are you going to spend the night with us at the new house?" Inuyasha asked.

Naruku laughed. "No I am going to use the condo you had set up while you were here with Kikyo. Thank you though."

Inuyasha smiled and nodded. Then Inuyasha handed the keys over to Naruku. After telling them directions they went their separate ways.

While Inuyasha and Kagome where in the car the kids told about everything that they did, filling him in. Meanwhile, he and his wife held hands and laughed. Inuyasha took them to Bugaboo Creek Steak house. The kids were delighted. There were furry creatures everywhere moving around and speaking. In fact they got the table across from the moose and got the front row show.

After everyone was full and was waiting for their check, Inuyasha asked if the kids were excited to see their new house.

"Oh yes! Mommy couldn't stop talking about it." Kara jumped in.

Shippo joined in. "Mom also said you had present for us. What is it?"

Inuyasha laughed. "You'll just have to wait."

"Is it a dog?" Nathan asked excited.

Inuyasha laughed harder. "No. No, we will never get a dog."

"Why not?" Nathan pouted.

"Because I said so. Now, lets go."

When they got to the driveway, Inuyasha made them cover their eyes. Then when he stopped the car he let them open their eyes. They screamed. It was gorgeous. It was a 2 story house with a huge front lawn. In the middle of the lawn was a huge fountain. The house was White with brick. Kagome began crying. Inuyasha held her.

"Oh come on. You haven't seen the rest of it yet." Inuyasha said smiling.

Kagome just laughed. The kids ran up to the door shaking it. "Come on! Open it!" Shippo cried wanting to see inside.

Inuyasha told them to hold on. Inuyasha walked with Kagome to the door. Inuyasha unlocked and the kids ran in. Inuyasha swept Kagome up in his arms and carried her through the threshold.

Kagome couldn't speak. Right when you walked in there was a foyer with a closet and if you walked further on there was stairs to the upstairs. Then directly across from the steps was the living room. The kitchen had an island was big enough to cook for 50 people.

But nothing hit Kagome like the bedrooms did. They showed Kara her room first. Kara's had a huge princess bed in the center of the room and was covered in stuffed animals. The walls were a lush forest in which all sorts of mythical beasts lay hidden. Then in one corner was a picture of a castle. From that small corner was a tower that came off the wall as if the castle were 3-D, which Kara could crawl in and look out over her domain.

She had a huge closet with mirrors on the back off each sliding door. She had her own easel in the room , and her make-up station. She even had her own rocking horse. It was white with pink and purple reins. Kara screamed at the top her lungs on her new toys. She immediately grabbed a stuffed cat and tucked it in her arm. Then she ran to Inuyasha and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Daddy! Thank you so much!!"

Inuyasha smiled, "That is not it, baby. Just wait for what I have next for you."

"What is it?" Kara asked.

"Not yet. Come on. Time to show Nathan his room." Inuyasha said leading the way.

Nathan's room was a recreation of how the west looked like before men. On the walls it was a desert with wild horses running. There were jack rabbits, mountains, eagles, and all sorts of desert life. Then in one corner was one cowboy riding his horse at a full gallop. Nathan had a bunk bed and also a desk, and a rocking horse that was brown with a black mane. Nathan just kept squealing as he touched everything. His easel, His western style book case, and his own stuffed animals.

Inuyasha couldn't help but feel prideful. He was able to provide for his family.

Shippo's room was…the best in Kagome's opinion (Foxgem: and mine). It was space. His room was the painting of the solar system (Foxgem: Sorry to interrupt but I believe Pluto is still a planet so…yes it is included). On his ceiling was glow in the dark stars and he also had a bunk bed. Shippo had a desk for his electronics and a desk for his school work. He had a miniature book case and his own miniature guitar. Shippo just hugged his father. Inuyasha felt so loved.

Then it was Kagome's turn. Their bedroom was a beach. The walls showed an ocean, beach, palm trees, and dolphins. They had a huge King sized bed and walk in closet. The master bathroom had huge tube with jets, and a separate shower that was big enough for 5 people. Kagome couldn't speak. It was magnificent. Inuyasha just wrapped his arms around her.

"Do you like it?" Inuyasha whispered into her ear.

Kagome grabbed him and kissed him hard. After they pulled away, Inuyasha smiled. "If that was you reaction to this, I wonder what kind of reaction I will get when I show my next gift."

"Inuyasha, you went over the top, I am afraid." Kagome hugged him tightly to her. She loved him so much. Her life was going up. Kagome closed her eyes and began cryng.

"Hey! I haven't showed you the final part and you are crying already? Come on, dear, you know how I have a hard time with tears. Sh…" Inuyasha crooned as he slowly rocked her back and forth.

Kagome's throat felt tight like she couldn't breathe. She just barely managed, "I love you, I love you so much!"

Inuyasha's heart melted. All he could was just rock her back and forth and murmur comforting words to her. When she quieted, Inuyasha spoke softly right into her ear. "Everything that you have seen so far is my way telling you I really want to start fresh with the woman that I love and always will love. I had wanted a family for so long and finally I get the opportunity to have one with the girl of my dreams. I love you, so much. You are everything to me. I want to spend the rest of my life next to you. I want to spend the rest of eternity with you and the kids, and possibly more kids. Who knows? By the time we are resting in our graves, we may have 20 children and millions of great grandchildren!"

That got a laugh from her, even if it was a little wet. Kagome sat back and whipped her eyes from the tears that she shed. "So, show me this backyard."

Inuyasha smiled and led her out of the room. He took her downstairs but before she could even open the door, he covered them with his hand.

After a few seconds, Inuyasha led her outside and he removed it from her eyes. Kagome stood there opened mouthed. Her throat refused to work. Before was the prettiest garden she had ever seen! There was a miniature maze of flowers and ferns and in the center was a huge oak tree. In the shade of the tree sat a swing.

"Mommy!" Kara came running with lighted eyes. "Come look at this!" Kara took her hand and began dragging her over to where the tree was. "I always wanted a swing and now Daddy has built me one!"

Kagome couldn't speak. Kagome turned around to look at Inuyasha. Her eyes were fogging up with tears.

"Mommy! Wait till you see this!" Shippo called as he ran around the corner. When he saw his mother, Shippo stopped. "Why are you crying? Are you not satisfied?" Shippo asked in horror.

Kagome laughed and shook her head. "No, Shippo…it just…this is so much more than I expected. I couldn't be happier."

Shippo smiled. "Good. Now come on! I have to show you something." Shippo took her hand and began dragging her somewhere. Inuyasha picked up Kara and fallowed his son and wife.

Kagome went around the corner to see a huge pool with a gorgeous changing area.

"Look," Shippo said pointing. "It has a water slide. And look at that! It's a waterfall! It's not big but it is cool that we have one!"

"Oh my! This is amazing!" Kagome stood there while Shippo ran around the pool.

Kagome turned to see Inuyasha put down Kara so she could play with her brother. Kagome smiled and went to Inuyasha. Kagome hugged him tightly. "Thank you…I don't know what to say…"

Inuyasha gave her a sweet light kiss. Then it hit Kagome. "Where is Nathan?" Inuyasha looked startled then began to look around and sniff. "He isn't out here that is for sure…I think I know where he might be. Fallow me."

"Hold on. Kara! Shippo! It is time to go inside now. We will come back out later." Kagome called. The kids voiced their disappointment but quickly ran to their mother talking about the new house.

"This is the best house in the whole world!" Kara smiled as she turned in a circle.

Shippo smiled. "Yes it is because it was made by our Daddy and Mommy."

As soon as they got indoors they began looking around for Nathan. Inuyasha led them downstairs into the biggest playroom Kagome had ever seen. There was a huge plasma T.V., Play Station, Game Cube, Card game closet, Play Kitchen, 2 computers, Doll area, Lego's, and action figures closet. Kagome couldn't help but smile. It was going to be difficult trying to get the kids out of the basement.

They found Nathan sleeping with a stuffed bear on the couch. Inuyasha took him upstairs and put him in his bed. Inuyasha sat there staring at Hojo's son. How could such an evil man have a wonderful child? Inuyasha smiled as he touched the boys hair. Hojo had stolen what was most precious to him, but now…Inuyasha now held what was stolen, yet he had more. Let the memories of his late Father die. Inuyasha wished. Let him forget the horror. Let him only remember the good memories. Let me be his true father. With that Inuyasha kissed Nathan on the head. Nathan coughed 3 times heavily. Inuyasha froze and was reminded of the time they had left. Inuyasha covered him up tightly, then left.

Downstairs Kara and Shippo were running around in the kitchen. Kagome was trying to figure out what to make for dinner.

"Why don't we just order pizza and soda?" Inuyasha asked as he wrapped his arms around his wife.

Kagome laughed. "Because I want to make the first meal that enters into our home. Why? Don't you like my cooking??"

"Of course, I just thought…pizza was quick, and easy. Not to mention after pizza and a movie the kids will be out like a light then you and I are going celebrate it in our own way." Inuyasha whispered into her ear.

Kagome blushed. "Not in front of the kids!"

"What? You and Daddy are going to have a party without us?" Kara whined.

Shippo joined in. "But I wanted to have a party!"

Inuyasha laughed. "We are going to have a party. Why don't we order the pizza now and then I can take you to the store to buy some candy and Pop??"

"YEAH!" Kara and Shippo chorused jumping on their Dad.

Kagome scowled. "I don't know. Candy isn't the best for them. Why don't we make chocolate chip cookies, instead??"

"No! I want Candy!" Kara whined.

Inuyasha looked at Kara sharply. "Excuse me, young lady, but there will be no whining in this home. Plus you will treat your mother with the respect she deserves."

Kara bowed her head. "Yes Daddy."

Inuyasha smiled as he tossed her up into the air and caught her. Kara giggled. "There that is more like the Kara that I used to know. Come on give Daddy a kiss."

Kara then gave him aloud, huge, kiss on the cheek. "I love you!"

"I love you, too. Kagome? What kind of candy does Nathan and you like?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome thought. "Swedish Fish is Nathan's favorite, but they have to the red kind. He doesn't like the multi-colored ones. His favorite drink is orange soda, though. For me…get me something chocolate related and something fruity."

"Okay. Got it. Do you want to call the pizza place and order? Or do you want me to do it?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome blushed. " I am afraid I am a little slow in English. I would probably order something wrong. Plus I don't know our address and our phone number."

Inuyasha laughed as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Give me the phone and I will call. Then I will give you the money. All you have to do is open the door when they get here. Give them the money and take the pizza."

"Okay, I can do that." Kagome smiled as she gave him the phone. Inuyasha gave her one more kiss before going to order.

Kagome smiled as the kids fallowed after giving him orders of what they wanted. Life was perfect…or it seemed.

Naruku stood in kitchen chopping away. Kikyo was sitting at the table smiling at her husband.

"Why are you staring at me? You are making me nervous." Naruku said simply as picked up a onion and began cutting it.

"I was just admiring the strength and sexiness of my husband. Is that wrong?" Kikyo asked.

Naruku smiled. "No. How did Inuyasha treat you?"

"Fine. He was a big baby though. He was always pinning for my sister."

"Which is a good thing, I would imagine."

"A very good thing, but he got very annoying."

"I would same about you."

"Me?" Kikyo asked shocked and hurt.

"You annoy me. Which is a good thing, don't get me wrong. It means I always have to be on my toes waiting for what you will do next."

Kikyo glared at him. "OH! Well fine! Do you wish I will leave so I can stop annoying you?"

Naruku didn't even look up from what he was doing. "No. Because every time you are disappear from my sight I get even more annoyed."

Kikyo began crying, "How dare you say this to me. Especially now! I am about to give birth to our pups and now you want to tell me things that will hurt me the most?"

"My dear, you are beginning to vex me. If you insist on being blind and a fool then so be it. You took my words a bit too far." Naruku sighed.

Kikyo stood up. "Fine, you ox brained fool!" Kikyo turned and made her war to their bedroom Naruku's arms stopped her.

Naruku hugged her to him. "Again you jump the gun. Kikyo, Kikyo. My love, mate, wife, and my future, Listen to me. What annoys me is that here you know how dangerous giving birth to demon babies is and yet you wish to make it harder on yourself. Therefore you force me to step in and try to control the situation. The whole time you were over here…You ate greasy, disgusting food."

"Yes, yes I did." Kikyo was still cross.

"When you do that, you risk your health and the childrens health. I told you many times that I will not tolerate any threat on your life and our children's life. I am to protect you from everyone and from yourself. I love you and would die before anything happened to you."

"Don't you dare say that word!" Kikyo turned on him and yelled in his face.

Naruku's eyes softened when he saw the pain and fear in his wife's eyes.

Kikyo began to tremble. "I…never want to hear that again. Do you understand me? This is not the time to joke about something like that."

Naruku watched her turn around, he grabbed her arm before she took a step away from him. "We need to talk about this."

"There is nothing to discuss. We already discussed this."

Naruku shook his head. "No WE didn't. You keep saying that I will live and everything will be just fine. But what if it isn't? People go through surgeries like this all the time. Some…make it out and some don't. We don't know yet. I need to know what are the plans if something wrong happens."

"NOTHING WILL HAPPEN!! WHY DO YOU INIST ON BEING CRUEL!!!!" Kikyo screamed as she tore from his grasp.

"Kikyo…"

"NO! NO! I WILL NOT LISTEN!"

Naruku grabbed his sobbing wife and pulled her to him. "KIKYO!!! We have to prepare! We have no idea what is going to happen. What if I don't make it out of the surgery? I need to know that you are going to be all right."

Kikyo was hysterical. "I WON'T BE! I Won't be all right. Naruku…I…NARUKU!!" Kikyo collapsed on the floor sobbing hard. She barely could breathe. "I…can't live without you!! I…NARUKU! Oh I can't!"

Naruku knelt on the ground and took her to him. Kikyo clutched onto his shirt as she cried into his chest. Naruku felt tears come to his eyes. Life was so unfair.

"I love you. It's okay…we are going to be together forever, okay? No matter what…we will still be together. Okay? Are you listening to me?" Naruku said trying not to sob.

Kikyo wasn't listening. She just cried into his shirt. Naruku looked up at the ceiling offering a silent prayer for them both.

Foxgem: Okay, please review. Please!!! Anyway you people are great. And please, tell me of your stories so that I can review them. Thank you.
