Chapter 7: The Knock on the Door at Night.

"Inuyasha, don't you think that maybe you should get to bed." I said resting my hands on his shoulders. It was nearly ten at night, and Inuyasha was still up doing thing around the house, fussing about Twilight's room, and how to make everything safe for her. As endearing as it all was he needed his rest. I watched him sigh heavily as he looked up at me. I had finally gotten him to sit down. "It's ten at night, you need to rest." I refrased as he sighed once more and looked around the baby's room. It was bright pink and soft yellows.

"But..." He looked away from me and stared the newly painted walls. "It has to be perfect for her." Inuyasha said slowly, I knew he wanted Twilight to be happy in her room.

"I know, but you have to rest or else my mom won't bring her back. If you get over worked then mom will keep her and not give her back unless you chill out." I said softly as he nodded and I looked around the room, it look so much like a girls room. It amazed me that Inuyasha would know what to do with a girl's room. "Come on," I patted his shoulder. "Off to bed with you. I'll tidy up a bit before I go to sleep." I added as I looked at hi face once he stood up. It made me so happy to be with him.

"Ok, ok. I'll go, don't stay awake to long, you've got to rest too." Inuyasha smiled at me and wrapped his arms around my waist, swaying us both side to side. I smiled back as I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head over his heart. I loved hearing his heart beating, the feel and sound of air rushing in and out of his lungs. It was so soothing for me to hear those few things. "Kagome, don't over work yourself." Inuyasha whispered as I felt his breath stir against my scalp. I glanced up at him.

"That's my line! Now, I said off to bed with you." I said sternly pushing away from him and pointing out the door. Inuyasha followed my finger before looking back at me, I didn't like the look in his eyes. "Wh-what?" I asked as I watched him step closer to me. His smile was mischevious. "Inuyasha?" I called right before he knelt down and wrapped his arms out my waist, picking me off my feet, Inuyasha carried me over his shoulder. I kicked my feet and wiggled shouting at him to set me down at he walked out of Twilight's room. I used my hands to push my chest and face from his back and tried to look at him. "You are not carrying me up those stairs!" I shouted remembering that our room was up stairs. Inuyasha laughed as he walked towards the stairs at a steady speed. "Inuyasha! Stop! Please!" I couldn't help but laugh when I was pleading to him to stop, he was tickling me! "Inuyasha!! Hahahaha! P-Please s-stop!!"

"Kagome, stop wiggling, I have to walk." Inuyasha said as he stopped tickling me. I pushed the palms of my hands into his back in outrage. He yelped as he pushed out his chest to get my palms out of his back. I laughed as the phone began to ring. "Got it." Inuyasha said. I was still pouting, I didn't care. Digging my elbow into his shoulder, softly mind you, I sighed and started to play with my hair. "Kagome, it's for you." Inuyasha said poking me with the phone. I hung my head before reaching my arm, akwardly to reach for the phone. Inuyasha kept putting it right before my hand, when I went to grab it he'd pull it away. Punching him, he finally gave me the phone.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone as Inuyasha began to walk to the stairs again.

"Kagome?" Sango's voice came from the speaker. I smiled, Sango and I had became best friends, she would tell me anything and everything I wanted to know about the Takashi's, Hoshi's, and her own family. She was a real gem in my oppinion.

"Sango! Hi, how are you?" I asked as Inuyasha began to walk up he stairs. I tried to hit him, but he jerked me up and settled my body on his shoulder again. I sighed before saying, "You are a jerk, you can sleep alone, you know that?" I turned back to the phone with all he did was laugh at me. "Guys are stupid and they don't listen!" I whinned to Sango, I heard her laugh over the phone.

"What's he doing now?" Sango asked.

"For some reason, he decided to carry me to bed, but I still have to clean up a little!" I said glaring at Inuyasha's head. "Inuyasha set me down, please." I said as he stopped on the top set. I don't know what he was doing but he started to walk again before he knelt down. I had no idea what he was doing until I was sent flying on to the bed. "EEEK!!" I obviously eeked as I landed on the bed. My eyes were closed tight, the sound of Sango's voice calling my name made me open my eyes and look around me. Inuyasha was laughing at me, I glared up at him and pulled the phone to my ear and spoke to Sango. "Dog Boy, threw me to the bed." Sango began to laugh at the name I gave Inuyasha. It was his turn to glare at me, that was my 'pet' name for him. Dog boy, not very cleaver, but hey, it does the trick.

"Well, since...Dog Boy is behaving now, would you two like to come to dinner tomorrow night, I want to have a nice family dinner before Pappa Takashi comes home." Sango said as I felt lost.

"Pappa Takashi? You mean Inuyasha's father?" I asked rolling over to my stomach, kicking my feet back and forth in a swaying motion.

"Yeah, Miroku said that Sesshomaru had called to tell Pappa Takashi that Inuyasha was awake." Sango explained as I smiled, I couldn't wait to meet Inuyasha's father.

"Is he nice? Do you think he'll like me?" I asked feeling something funny in my stomach as I turned the questions over in my mind. I heard Inuyasha undress and get into his dresser. Getting ready for bed, I should to, but I wanted to know more about 'Pappa Takashi'.

"Pappa Takashi is very nice, but don't get him so angery, he's very, let's say, enthusiastic if you cross him. But he usually only does that with Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Miroku. But he practicly raised Miroku along with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru." Sango laughed as she spoke. I smiled, Sango was so totally in love with Miroku, even though she says he's a womanizer and a pervert that never keeps his hands to himself, and always making suggestions to her about private matters.

"I'm glade, I can't wait to meet him." I said as I giggled a little before glancing over at Inuyasha, he'd sat down on the bed, his feet holding mine down. "Inuyasha, what are you doing?" I asked as he smiled at me. I smiled back and rolled my eyes, he was in his weird mode again. "Sango, I gotta go, Dog Boy is acting weird, and I don't want to accidently hang up on you." I said as I glanced back over at Inuyasha, he had a book I was reading, imported romance novel from the USA. Sango laughed at me.

"Ok, I'll call you later." I hung up and laid the phone on the bed before looking over at Inuyasha. "Hey." I called, all that moved was his eyes as they read my novel, nevery good mind you. "Inuyasha" I said again as he set my book down and then looked at me. He was in his weird mode. "Hey, is Sango right? Is your father kind?" I asked pulling my feet from under his legs and curled up beside him. He looked up to the ceilling before looking back down at me.

"He was kind to my mother, and us. He turned really stupid over us when my mother passed away. He was a good father, he knew nothing about raising children, but he did what he could do and was good at being a father, though he did have a few draw backs." Inuyasha said. I was happy he was opening up to me.

"What were his draw backs?" I asked as he shifted into a more comforable possition, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I smiled and rested my head over his heart, my favorite spot.

"When he'd loose his temper he lost it," Inuyasha paused as he looked to the ceiling again before continuing. "He never hit Sesshomaru nor I at all. But he did yell when he got mad, but never at us, but he would yell at the walls, or the random objects in the room." Inuyasha smiled as he glanced at a photo next to our bed. "But he took care of us, he loved us enough for both mother and father. He was a father I was proud of." Inuyasha smiled, his eyes were falling down. I smiled, he was falling asleep with the thoughts of his kind father. I laid beside him until he fell totally alseep. Sliping from his arm I grabbed his feet and pulled him down so his head rested on the pillow. I smiled down at him and pulled the blanket from uner him to over his chest, he wasn't wearing a shirt, like usual, but he had on his blue and red plaided pajama pants.

"Good night love." I whispered before kissing his forehead and turned off the light and closed the door behind me. I had grabbed my pajama pants and a small tank top, time for my shower! From all Inuyasha's painting I got a got hit with a the paint brush. Turning on the shower and waited it to warm up before I striped my clothing and stepped into the shower. The water felt nice against my skin, the warmth made me feel refreshed and new. Thank god for showers! I closed my eyes as I began to wash and rinse my hair under the warm water. I was humming to my self when I heard a knock followed by the doorbell being rung. "Coming!!" I shouted rinsing the rest of the suds out of my hair before turning off the shower and grabbing my towel. The knocking and ringing of the doorbell became more fequent and persistant. "I said I'm coming!" I shouted wrapping the towel around my chest and rushed out of the bathroom down the stairs to the front door. Nothing like answering your boyfriend's door in your towel! "Yes?" I asked opening the door.
