Everyone was sleeping around a dying fire.
"Uhhhhh..." Arashi stretched and sat up grudgingly, closely followed by Koori. With one glance, both got up and walked side-by-side to where Inuyasha and Kagome lay sleeping. Both lightly shook the two into awakening. Kagome groaned and cracked open an eye and watched a half sleeping Inuyasha sit up about 3 feet away. She gtowned again and pushed her self up to look at Arashi and Koori, who also looked half asleep.
"Good morning...er...night...dawn..." Kagome smiled.
"Why the heck did you two wake us up?" Inuyasha whispered angrily.
"Mama," Arashi started.
"Papa," Koori went on.
"We had,"
"A bad dream."
Kagome opened her mouth, then closed it again, then finally opened it and asked, "You both did?" They nodded. Kagome gestured to the space between her and Inuyasha, "You can lay with us if you'd like." She smiled. She looked at Inuyasha for confirmation, but when she looked, he was just staring at the kids.
It only his Kagome until of the twins had brought the blankets over and laid down beside her and a still dazed Inuyasha, did she notice what the has said. Mama. And. Papa. Mama and Papa. Mama and Papa! Kagome's eyes flew to look at everyone, Koori, Arashi, Inuyasha. Wha..What did this mean? No one had ever called her that. She had never even thought of anyone like that! And she was sure no one had ever thought HER that way. Not even Shippo, who had a very close bond, but one more like a sister and brother then mother and son.
Inuyasha closed his eyes and laid down, knowing by the small gasp of Kagome's that she had figured out what was making sleep impossible for him. He could comprehend the idea of a child, let alone two children, thinking of him as a father. And at the same time, thinking of Kagome as a mother. It was truly mind boggling.
And for the rest of the night, neither Inuyasha or Kagome got another wink of sleep. Which didnt help with what was to come.
-Morning.
The next morning, the group set out. But it wasnt a normal morning, not normal at all. This morning, Inuyasha, wasnt in a hurry, and, Kagome, wasnt perky. Sango and Miroku noticed this almost immediatly and were complete thrown off.
"I'm so tired!" Kagome complained.
Inuyasha nodded, "Me too."
"Sorry." Koori hung her head. Arashi bowed his head as well. Both the fuzzy ears sagged sadly.
Kagome just smiled, "Oh dont worry you guys! Its not your fault!"
"Ok ma- Kagome!" Koori covered her mouth. Arashi shushed her hurriedly, his tail sticking in the up like a scared cat's. Kagome pretending not to notice and began walking ahead.
Ahead of the rest of the group, Sango, Miroku and Shippo spoke quietly.
Sango pointed to their friends, "What do you think happened?" Shippo and Miroku shrugged. Sango's sweat dropped, "Your useless." They simply nodded once more. Sango groaned and walked ahead of them, to the front of everyone, to think about what could have happened.
-Lunchtime.
After yet another long morning of traveling, the group had settled down and had began making lunch.
"Thank you Inu-chan for catching the fish!" Arashi smiled.
"And thank you Kagome-chan for cooking it!" Koori giggled excitedly.
"And thank you Sango-kun and Miroku-kun for gathering the firewood!" Arashi continued.
"And thanks Shippo-chan and Ki-chan for setting the fire," Koori completed. Shippo smiled and bowed, only to trip and fall on his butt. Kirara just mewed and licked Koori's hand.
"Oh your welcome! You guys are just so amazingly adorable!" Sango smiled, "And as a reward for being so adorable, you get first pick on the fish!" The kids hurrayed and ran toward to fish surrounded fire. Arashi grabbed a large fish and Kirara pounced on a mid-sized one. Koori and Shippo both ran and grabbed the same big fish.
Shippo blushed, "Um... Here."
Koori blushed as well and smiled, "Thank you so much Shippo-chan!"
Shippo blushed darken and he looked down at his feet, "Dont mention it..." What Koori did next nearly made Shippo fall into the fire. Koori leaned over and gave Shippo a light peck on the cheek before squealing and running of to eat.
-Inuyasha and Kagome.
Inuyasha and Kagome sat beside eachother enjoying their lunch in an akward silence. Watching the kids play and run around did help with the situation.
"Umm... Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can we go for a quick walk? I have something I wanna talk to you about."
"Ok..." Inuyasha stood up along with Kagome. They started following a dirt trail leading into the near forest.
"So what did you wanna talk about?" Inuyasha asked, though he had a pretty good idea what the subject would be about.
"Well, last night, when the kids came over to us... they...they...called us..."
"Mama and Papa."
Kagome nodded shyly, "Well, its just... If thats what they think of us, what do we think of them and how the think of us?"
"Well, I'll protect those kids like anyone else of our group. But I wont be extactic over being called Papa."
"Yeah..." Kagome kept here eyes on the ground.
"What about you?"
"Oh, well, no ones ever thought of me like THAT and well, I dont really know what to think. But I wasnt REALLY thinking about that..."
Inuyasha looked inquizitively at Kagome, "Then what WERE you talking about?"
"Well...they...they said Mama AND Papa... Which implies that we are a...a..." Both the two blushed.
"A couple." Inuyasha said flattly. Kagome nodded with a meak, 'yeah'.
"So what do you um...think about that?" Kagome asked.
'Tell her!' Inuyasha mind yelled, 'Its the perfect time to tell Kagome how you feel! Tell her you baka!'.
"Well, er, I just... It makes me..." Inuyasha turned around swiftly, looking in the opposite direction of Kagome, "I guess it makes me a little bit..." Kagome listened closely, waiting to hear Inuyasha's words. "A little, happy..." Inuyasha mumbled.
Kagome gasped, "Inu-Inuyasha..." Inuyasha glanced back of her, blushed and ran off. Leaving Kagome standing in shock.
"Aahh!"
Kagome turned toward the campsite. That was Koori voice. She ran as fast as she down the path. When she broke through the trees her breath hitched. Nearly 40 feet of the ground, Koori hung in the air.
Hakudoshi floating beside her, sythe to her throat...
