The Misadventures of Parenting
3rd Year
"I'll drop him off today, Kagome. Stay home and get better." InuYasha picked up Sushi and buckled him in the car seat.
"Are you sure? Because *cough* you'll be late for work." Kagome blew her nose and waved at Yasushi.
"Uh, no. The boss will understand." He opened his door and sat down.
"I really wanted to be there on his first day of preschool. Stupid weather.."
"He'll be fine. I love you." He reached up and kissed Kagome before slamming the door and starting the car.
"Be safe!" She yelled as he drove away.
"Mommy gets too worried sometimes.." Inuyasha said.
"She just loves us." Yasushi said back. He grasped his little backpack and held it tight. He really wanted his mother but he knew she wasn't feeling good.
"Hey sport, how do you feel about going and meeting other people? Especially girls.." InuYasha teased and turned into the parking lot.
"Mommy said girls are gross, daddy."
"No they aren't! I married one!" He exclaimed.
"She is a woman, daddy. They are different."
"Whatever you say." He unlocked the door and helped Yasushi out of the car.
"And here is your backpack, Master Sushi." InuYasha bowed while handing Sushi the small, Power Rangers backpack.
"Thank you." He smiled and ran to the door.
"Well hello little guy." An old, fragile woman said to him," where is your parent?"
"Over there." He pointed to InuYasha, who had his dress jacket caught in the car door.
"Oh." She hurried over there and InuYasha signed in with her.
"Have a great day, Sushi!" He yelled, getting in the car.
Yasushi walked into a room that was full of other kids about his age. A little fox demon came trotting towards him at full blast.
"Hello. My name is Shippou! You are?" He asked.
"Yasushi." Sushi shyly said and hung his backpack on a hook.
"Hello Sushi! Want to play with me and Kanna?" He pointed to a very pale girl that was standing in a corner, waiting for Shippou to return.
"Sure. What are you playing?"
"Wedding! We are deciding what to be. You be the groom!" He exclaimed and took Sushi by the hand, draggin him to the other side of the room.
Kagome slowly got up and answered the phone.
"InuYasha?"
"Hey! I can't pick up Yasushi because I was late getting to work."
"That's fine. I'll just put clothes on and go. Love you."
"Love you too."
Kagome hung the phone up and and got off the couch. She took a deep breath and very slowly put her clothes on, coughing at every breath.
She reached the daycare and opened the fron door, Yasushi standing there with open arms.
"Mommy!" He ran to her and hugged her.
"Hey pumpkin. Let me sign you out." She signed her name next to his and walked out.
"Did you make any friends?"
"Yes! Shippou. He's a fox demon."
"How nice! You have something in common. Anyone else happen today?"
"No, except I'm married."
