Recap: "All I want to do is go upstairs to our bathroom and take a nice hot bath before slipping into this nice new lingerie I got" Kagome sighed, walking with her eyes closed as if to relax.
When she opened them, she was faced with something she didn't expect.
"You!" She sneered.
H.C.A.H.O.
Kagome stared opened mouthed at the person sitting on the couch. "Well, well, my woman lives here it seems." Kouga gave an arrogant smirk as he looked Kagome up and down. "Why?! I just wanted to be left alone!" Kagome cried. "Now I've got a stalker wolf to deal with, and he knows where I live!" Kagome cried dramatically.
She stomped her feet in a full blown tantrum as he face turned red. She huffed as she crossed her arms and pouted like a five year old. Sesshomaru walked up to her and kissed her temple. "Kagome, I'd like you to meet my classmate Kouga. He'll be living with us for a little bit" Sesshomaru said evenly.
Kagome nodded before fainting and falling hard on the floor.
H.C.A.H.O.
Kagome woke up with a moan as she opened her eyes and took in the dim surrounds. "What happened?" she groaned out. "You fainted" Sesshomaru's voice answered. "No I didn't. I pretended to faint and hit my head on the floor really hard" Kagome snapped.
"Then why'd you ask what happened" He asked, slightly confused. "Well, isn't that what people who normally wake up say after they've fainted" Kagome snorted. HE nodded his head in agreement. "So, Kouga's the one following you around the mall?" Sesshomaru asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah. He was so annoying! He kept talking about the relationship we have or whatever, I started to tune him out after a while" Kagome grumbled. Sesshomaru kissed her softly and chuckled. "Don't laugh!" She whined and hit him with a pillow.
H.C.A.H.O.
The next day, Kagome woke up first next to Sesshomaru. He looked to be sleep still but Kagome new he was still alert. She gave him a peck on the lips and got out of bed. There was no shame-it seemed-that Kagome got out of bed naked anymore, having got used to it in the few days she and Sesshomaru got close.
Sighing, Kagome went to the closet and grabbed her new blue silk robe. It was in her new wardrobe and of course, it was sheer, but dark blue so a person couldn't see everything. She walked out of the room and closed the door softly before going to Rin's room. Opening the door, she saw the little girl was sleeping on her side, and her thumb was in her mouth.
Kagome smiled as she looked at the child. "Rin-chan, time to wake up" She cooed softly, shaking Rin gently. Her eyes opened and she immediately set her face into a pout. "No" She murmured and closed her eyes before turning over. "Well Rin, and here I thought we could play with your new truck in the backyard" Kagome gasped.
Rin opened her eyes and raised an eyebrow. "Can we go to the pool too? It's Saturday" She asked innocently. "Sure, but you have to get up now" Kagome agreed and lifted her into her arms. Rin wrapped her legs around Kagome's torso and wrapped her arms around her neck. "So, you wanna take a bath with me? With bubbles?" Kagome smiled brightly.
Rin nodded excitedly, bouncing in Kagome's arms. She moved them into the bathroom and set Rin on the toilet seat and began to set the water. She added cherry scented bubbles before dropping her robe. She helped Rin out of her Tinker Bell night gown and pinned both of their hair up.
She dipped her toe into the water and smiled when it was the perfect the perfect temperature. Submerging fully into the large tub that could easily fit ten people, Kagome helped Rin in so she wouldn't slip.
"So Rin, what shall we do today. Daddy has a friend to play with now and will only want us when his friend gets tired" Kagome pouted. "So we can have fun together! We don't need mean old Daddy and his friend" Rin nodded, her face set in a scowl.
"Okay Rin, I have an idea" Kagome smirked. She suddenly splashed the young girl with water. "Splash fight" She finished. Rin splashed her back, landing water in Kagome's mouth and making her sputter.
The girls giggled as they continued, water landing on the floor around them.
H.C.A.H.O.
"We're sorry Daddy" Rin and Kagome said in unison, their heads bowed in shame. "Kagome, you should know better than to do something so childish. That water will take hours to clean" Sesshomaru scolded as he pointed to the pool they made in the bathroom.
"I'm sorry Sesshomaru, you're right. We shouldn't have done that and Kouga wouldn't have slipped…" Kagome sighed. "Though, to my credit, the door was locked and he had no right to pick the lock!" Kagome blurted. "Hn. I'll have a talk with him later. The house keeper will clean the water." Sesshomaru dismissed them with a wave of his hand.
Kagome grabbed Rin quickly and walked out of the room. "Daddy's being mean" Rin pouted. "No he's not, he's being protective. It's one of those things where parents want you to put yourself in the others place to see how they feel" Kagome explained.
"Oh, you wanna go play with my truck now" Rin asked. "Sure" Kagome shrugged and they skipped out side through the kitchen door. "Oh wait, let me call Shippou! I wanna show him my new toy" Rin squealed and ran back inside to get the phone.
She dialed a number by heart and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello, Shippou? It's Rin. I wanted to know if you can come over...Really. Okay, see you in a few minutes" She hung up the phone and ran back over to Kagome. "Shippou said he could come over!" She squealed excitedly.
Kagome nodded confusedly until the doorbell rung. She walked into the foyer and looked through the peephole to find a bush of orange hair shaking violently. Panicking, she quickly opened the door to find a shaking kitsune of no more than five standing nervously with two daisies hiding his face.
"Are you alright?" Kagome got on her knees and put a hand on the boys' forehead, finding him quite warm. His face turned tomato red and he started to sway back and forth. "Oh, come inside" Kagome picked him up and went to the living room to sit on the couch.
"M-m-my name's Sh-Shippou. T-this is for you" He stuttered out and gave Kagome one daisy. "Oh, thank you Shippou, that's so sweet. My name's Kagome" She smiled sweetly as she tucked the daisy behind her ear.
He looked at her with wide eyes. "You're…Rin's new Mommy? So Th-that means that your T-Taisho-sama's m-mate?" He squeaked, sinking down into the couch as if to hide himself. "Well, I'm Rin's Mommy, but Sesshomaru and I aren't mated" Kagome explained.
"Why don't we go outside with Rin, she's been waiting for you" She offered, seeing how panicked he got at the mention of Sesshomaru. He nodded fiercely and jumped up from the couch to cautiously walk with Kagome to the kitchen. He almost fainted when he saw Sesshomaru sitting there with Kouga drinking some coffee. "T-Taisho-sama" Shippou gasped as he went to the floor in a bow to the older youkai.
"Kitsune" Sesshomaru acknowledged him with a slight inclination of his head. 'Sesshomaru! He has a name! You have this poor boy scared stiff because of you; the least you could is call him by his name and give him a proper hello!" Kagome scolded, pinching his neck with her nails.
"Hello Shippou. Rin is outside" Sesshomaru sighed with a roll of his eyes. "Still needs improvement but we'll work on it later" She said dryly, taking Shippou's hand and practically dragging him outside the back door.
"Shippou!" Rin squealed as she ran up to him. "What took you so long?!" She giggled as she hugged him. "I got this for you!" He smiled and thrust the daisy towards Rin. She gaped at it before snatching it into her hand. "It's so pretty Shippou! Thanks!" She kissed him on the cheek before blushing.
Shippou turned stark red and put his head down. "Okay children, why don't you two go play with the truck while the adults talk-and keep the door open so we can see you" Kagome pushed them towards the truck that was all set up and ready to go.
She watched as they ran off together before smiling wistfully and walking back inside. Pouting, she sat on Sesshomaru's lap. "What's wrong?" He asked immediately after seeing her sullen face. "It's nothing. Just something stupid" She sighed and gave him a quick kiss before getting up.
"I'm going to make sandwiches, what do you want?" She asked as she went into the fridge and pulled all the lunch meat out. "Ham" Kouga blurted. "Pastrami" Sesshomaru answered and pulled out his blackberry to start typing away.
She pulled out the bread, mayo, mustard, lettuce tomato, and cheese and set to work on making sandwiches for everyone.
H.C.A.H.O.
About two weeks after Shippou came over to their house, Kagome and Sesshomaru walked through the mall searching for a dress for her to wear to a business dinner Sesshomaru had on Friday night. They walked pass a store that caught Kagome's eye. It was Baby's r us and there was an outfit for a little boy that had an overall shorts and a pale yellow shirt underneath.
She stopped in front of the store and stared at the outfit with a longing gaze. "Kags, are you alright?" Sesshomaru asked, breaking Kagome from her trance. "Yeah, everything is fine" She frowned but quickly replaced it with a fake smile. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and then furrowed them at her behavior.
"Let's go find a dress, I'm sick of being here" She sneered as she saw a mother pushing a stroller. She pulled Sesshomaru into the nearest expensive store and went to the first wearable dress she saw. It was an ivory silk halter that went down to her knees and had no back. Under the breast was a black stripe that went all around and black stripes starting from the edge on the ties that held up the dress leading down to the 'v' neck.
Kagome picked it up and went to the dressing room to slip it on come out spin and go back to take it off and come back out in her skinny jeans and tank top. "Let's go" She mumbled.
H.C.A.H.O.
Driving the car up to the gates, Sesshomaru put the card in and drove up to the mail boxes. Kagome got out and opened the box and took out the mail. Flipping through it, she saw her magazine had come. It was the Babies r us catalogue. She smiled brightly and skipped back to the car.
Sesshomaru continued driving to the house and got the bag with the dress out for Kagome. She tripped out of the car to run to the house and run inside straight to the bedroom with her magazine in hand.
Getting to her room, she stripped off all her clothes and tossed on one of Sesshomaru's shirts before climbing on the bed and opening her catalogue. She smiled the whole time she looked at the small outfits on the pages.
The door opened to the room and Kagome quickly slipped the magazine under a pillow and sat stiff, waiting to see who it was. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw Sesshomaru walk in.
She smiled nervously at him and lay back on the pillow the magazine was hidden in. Sesshomaru walked towards his dresser and began undressing. When he was done, he pulled out a pair of cotton pajama pants and walked towards Kagome. HE climbed on the bed and started kissing her neck.
He nipped a path up towards her mouth and pulled her in for a soft kiss. She relaxed into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sesshomaru pulled her into his arms, wrapping them around her waist. One hand caressed her back and the other stealthily wandered towards the pillow the magazine was in.
He opened one eye a bit to see where his hand was going and carefully pulled out the magazine. He broke the kiss when he saw the title. "Kagome, what the hell is this?"
