Chapter 4
Back in Inuyasha's Forest, Kagome and Inuyasha headed for the bone-eaters-well; the passage way to Kagome's time with Rin and Sesshomaru.
"So how exactly do you expect us to get these two to your time Kagome?"Inuyasha asked holding on to his brother.
Had not thinking that far ahead she paused to think of a way to get them to her time.
she then took off her bag looking in it, she pulled out the small jar that held the shards and with some string put it around Rin's neck and Inuyasha used the charm necklace; Kagome had gave him to put around Sesshomaru.
"Let's hope this works." Kagome said standing at the well. Inuyasha then wrapped his arms around her waist and together jumped down into the well; welcomed by the same blue light that carried them through time to Kagome's era.
"It's dark" Sesshomaru said from inside Inuyasha's Kimono. Everyone had made it.
"Taking one more jump Inuyasha landed out the well but still in the well house with everyone still in his arm
"We should go in the house and tell mom we're back." Kagome said leading out the well house to the yard, Inuyasha following behind her.
Opening up the house door to the house, Kagome called out for her mother.
"Kagome you're back." her mom said coming out the kitchen.
"Yeah and I brought some guest with me." she said
"Mom this is Rin and he's Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru." she introduced. Inuyasha placing Sesshomaru on the floor so he could stand on his own.
"Oh they're so adorable." her mom said
"But why are they here?" she asked
"Good question, but can I answer that after they've been properly cleaned." she asked
"Sure, I'll run a bath for you." she said going to prepare a bath for the kids.
"Thanks mom." Kagome said going into the living room to sit down.
Are you sure you can handle giving him a bath Kagome?" her mom asked hold a clean baby Rin in her arms, standing in the doorway of the bathroom.
"I can handle it mom." she said kneeled in front of Sesshomaru who was more interested in the things in the room than Kagome trying to give him a bath.
"Okay dear, I'll go look for some of Souta's old clothes for him to wear then." she said walking out the room with Rin
"Alright Sesshomaru let's get you cleaned up. You're masked in dirt." Kagome said getting him to take his clothes off and into the water.
"What dis?" he asked scooping up a hand full of soap suds as it slid through his little fingers.
"Its bubbles, you can play with. It also helps you get all nice and clean, free of all this dirt." she told him.
Not interested in what she was telling him Sesshomaru started splashing his hands in the water, bubbles flying everywhere with him laughing his heart out.
"Hey, careful, you're getting water everywhere." Kagome giggled trying her best not to get wet.
"Okaa" he suddenly squealed which cause her heart to skip a beat.
'Did he just call me his okaasan?' she asked herself looking at the happy toddler in the tub.
Brushing it off, she started washing his hair.
"There all clean." she said rinsing him off then lifting him out the tub, wrapping him in a towel and taking him to her room to get dressed.
Entering her room she saw that her mother had laid out three choices of outfits for Sesshomaru to wear. Being sat on her bed, Sesshomaru looked at all three choices before pointing to a pair of dark blue jeans and a white shirt with a hood.
Once dressed, Kagome pulled him on her lap to comb his hair out.
"Okaasan, where Inu-niichan?" he asked, again referring Kagome as his mother.
'Why is he calling me his mother?' she questioned
"Ah, he's down stairs." she answered as she stopped combing his hair. Placing the comb to the side of her, she got up with him in her arms and exited her room to go back to where everyone was.
"We're back" she said walking in to the living room, where everyone sat, her mother ready and waiting for daughter to explain why they had return with two babies with them.
Seeing Inuyasha on the couch, Sesshomaru wiggled out of Kagome's arms running over to sit in his brother's lap.
"Okay, now I'm ready to explain."Kagome said taking her seat next to Inuyasha. Her mother sat across from them still holding Rin; now dressed in one of Kagome's old baby summer dresses with a matching head band and the same little side pony tail.
"Then go ahead dear." her mother encouraged
"Well to start off: Rin and Sesshomaru aren't really babies-" she said which quickly confused her mother.
"-Sesshomaru is actually Inuyasha's older brother while Rin is really an eight year-old girl who travels with him. They were both bit by some type of wasp that turned them into a toddler and baby, and we don't know how to change them back. We just need a few days to think of a plan on how we're going to change them back. And at the same time restock on our supplies." Kagome said hoping her mom understood her.
"Oh, well they can stay as long as they can. I have no problem with it." her mom said with a gentle smile.
"Thanks mom you're the best." Kagome said giving her mom a hug still being mindful of Rin.
"Okaa I hungry." Sesshomaru said sliding down off Inuyasha going over to Kagome.
'He did it again' she moaned
"Kagome why is he calling you his okaasan?" Inuyasha asked confused by his brother's action.
"I don't know he just stared doing it when I gave him a bath." she said picking Sesshomaru up.
"Do you think it has anything to do with the wasp bite?" she asked him, but didn't get an answer cause they were in the same boat.
"Come on little man; let's go get some food in you." Kagome's mom said heading for the Kitchen.
"Mom do we have any diapers left in the house?" Kagome asked laying Rin on the couch to check her.
"We need to make a quick trip to the store." her mother said as her answer.
"Well we need to get moving then, don't we?" Kagome said picking Rin back up.
"Inuyasha, mom and I are going to the store real quick for some baby things, can you keep Sesshomaru in the house and out of trouble?" she asked grabbing her purse and leaving out the house.
Sesshomaru at the time was distracted by toys on the floor, didn't notice Kagome leave till her sent left the room.
"Where okaa go?" he asked Inuyasha, still surprised he was calling Kagome his mother.
"She went out." was all he said
"Out?" Sess then looked at the door
"Yeah, you have to stay here with me pup." he told him
"No, I want okaasan." he whined stubbornly.
"Oi, calm down she'll be back soon."
"I want okaasan" he screamed then started crying
Not comfortable with any one crying, even if it included his brother as a pup, Inuyasha picked him up and tried to calm him back down with promises of Kagome's return.
'It hasn't even been that long. You better get back fast Kagome.' he wished, his brother crying into his haorai.
"Give it a rest already runt. You've been crying for the past five minutes now." Inuyasha complained sitting his brother on the couch to cry.
"Look if you stop crying, I'll go get her for you." he bribed getting Sess to stop crying.
"Good" he said when his brother was quiet, then leaving for the kitchen to get a washcloth to whip his brother's tearstained face off, returning to see he had cried his self to sleep.
Whipping his brother's face off he was careful not to wake him, the placing him in the sleeping pup in his lap he waited for Kagome to return.
"Do you think we got everything mom?" Kagome asked walking in to the house with bags from the store in her arms.
"Enough for right now anyways." her mom said carrying in a sleeping Rin.
"I'll go change her and put her down for a nap in my room." Kagome said putting the bags down on the counter and taking the baby from her mom. Heading for her room, passing the living room she saw a codick moment; both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru asleep on the couch, Inuyasha holding his brother in his lap like a protective parent and Sess curled up with is thumb in his mouth.
"Isn't that sweet." she heard her mom say from behind her. Nodding that she agreed she continued to her room to change Rin's diaper and put her down for a nap and having one herself.
