Bundle of Joy
Inuyasha's ears perked as the a sudden chill filled the room. He reluctantly opened his eyes and tried to not shift his arms. He looked down at the sweet slumbering Kagome in his arms and his little angel Mizuko in hers.
"What a sight," a voice remarked, "Moved on already?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he blushed, "N-no this was her idea and...wait." Inuyasha looked up to find a man with tangled locks and blue eyeshadow sneering at him. "What are you doing here?" he seethed.
He laughed, "And here I thought you were dead."
"It takes more than falling out of a tree to kill me," Inuyasha remarked, "I practically live in them."
The man smirked, "And I assume you're gonna stop me from killing her."
"At least you're not a complete idiot," Inuyasha glared.
Inuyasha carefully moved his arms from around Kagome. He quickly took off his shirt and wrapped it around her so she wouldn't wake.
"Wouldn't it just be better if you let them die?" the man asked, "And saved yourself?"
Inuyasha looked at the man incredulously, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Why risk your life protecting them?" the man repeated.
"B-because," Inuyasha cast a glance at the two sleeping peacefully, "Because I'd gladly sacrifice my life for the people I love!"
The man's eyes widened and he broke into a malevolent smile, "Oh really? Isn't that familiar? You really do remind me of unpleasant people."
"What?" Inuyasha snapped.
"Like Father like son," the man answered cryptically.
"Who the hell are you anyways?" Inuyasha cried.
"Hmm, like to know the name of the man who takes your life?" he replied.
"No, I'd like to know the name of the man who took her life," Inuyasha answered, gritting his teeth, "Before I kill him." Inuyasha lounged at the intruder, claws ready.
The man dodged and pulled out a pocket knife. "Hmm, what happened to letting the cops do their job?"
Inuyasha seethed, "Just shut up."
He smirked and jabbed at Inuyasha with knife, grazing his side.
Inuyasha clutched his side. "Grr..." he launched a punch and managed a hit.
The man rubbed his face where Inuyasha had hit. He glanced at the full moon high in the sky. "Guess, it's my curfew. See ya later, Inuyasha." He jumped from the window.
Inuyasha pulled his head out the window. "Come back here bastard!"
"Naraku, not bastard," his cackles echoed from all around.
Inuyasha sat on the ground and glanced at Kagome and Mizuko, clutching his side. "Dammit."
Kagome's eyes opened a little. "Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked at her suddenly, "Just went to close the window."
Kagome nodded but as her eyes began to close she noticed his hand clutching his side. Is that blood?
...
"I'd gladly sacrifice my life for the people I love!"
Inuyasha sighed. I can't believe I said that. He looked at Kagome who feeding Mizuko in front of the television. D-does that mean that I...?
"Daddy?" Mizuko tilted her head, "What's wrong?"
Inuyasha smiled sadly, "I was just thinking of my old man."
"Daddy's....Daddy?" Mizuko asked as Kagome handed her over to Inuyasha.
He's thinking of his father? Kagome tilted her head. That's unusual...he doesn't normally think of him. Suddenly concern began to swell up in her. W-what brought this on? Did something really happen last night? She remembered seeing the blood leaking from between his fingers.
"Yeah, you know if not for him, your Daddy wouldn't even be around," Inuyasha continued.
Mizuko tilted her head as she tried to imagine her grandpa. "Why?"
"Mama, what happened to Papa? How comes I nevers got to see him?"
Izayoi looked down at her son, sadly, "Because he had to go and be a hero."
Inuyasha's eyes went wide with delight. "A hero? My papa was a hero?!"
"Yeah, that's right honey," Izayoi beamed, "He protected you and me and saved us from a very bad man."
"Apparently, this bad man came after me and my Mama," Inuyasha answered, "But my old man came in and saved us. You know he said something really cool then."
"What he say?" Mizuko was bouncing up and down on his knee.
"He stood in front of us like a samurai."
"A samurai?" Inuyasha gasped.
Izayoi nodded, "And said-"
"I'd gladly sacrifice my life for the ones I love," Inuyasha replied.
"See, your father loved us very much."
"He did?"
Izayoi held her son close to shield his eyes from her tears. "He loved us to death."
"Daddy?" Mizuko asked worriedly.
"It's nothing," he swallowed.
Kagome's throat had gone dry. "Yash, w-what made you think of that?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened. He swallowed again. "I said that myself. It just reminded someone of my Dad and I just remembered why."
Something did happen last night. Kagome concluded. Her eyes fell to where the wound would be. Did he manage to treat it properly? H-how deep was it? What happened while I was asleep?
"Who says I need protection?"
Kagome suddenly felt guilty. Liar.
"Daddy, whatever happened to your Daddy?" Mizuko asked.
Inuyasha swallowed, "He proved that he meant it. Mizuko, he died."
Mizuko's eyes widened. Just like Stepmommy?
"But he died to protect me...and my mother," Inuyasha added, smiling again.
What happened to Daddy's Mommy then? Mizuko wondered but asked, "Would Daddy s-sacerfyce his life for Mizuko and Mommy."
"Yeah, actually I would," Inuyasha replied without hesitation.
Kagome's heart skipped a beat. She put her fist to her chest and clutched at her now pounding heart.
"Don't!" Mizuko cried surprising them both, "Daddy don't. If Daddy d-died...if Daddy went away forever like Stepmommy, Mommy and Mizuko would be very sad. Mizuko doesn't wanna Daddy to d-die!" Mizuko was sobbing now, he had made her cry.
"What?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome and found she had a solemn expression. They're overreacting for god's sake. "Just because I would, doesn't mean I'm planning to."
"Even though Papa's a hero, I wish he was here."
"Me, too."
Inuyasha looked up to find his mother fruitlessly wiping away tears. "Mama?"
"I know what it's like to have a loved one sacrifice themselves for you, remember?" Inuyasha added, having trouble keeping the bitterness out of his voice.
Mizuko stopped crying but she didn't seem completely convinced.
Kagome tried to blink away tears. "Inuyasha."
"Yeah?"
"You better not do something stupid," she snapped, "Or I won't forgive you."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome incredulously. What's up with her?
"I love you,"
Suddenly, Inuyasha's nose sensed salt water. He looked down at Mizuko who had completely stopped crying. "Kagome?" He saw the tears streaming down her face. "Why are you crying?"
"Allergies," Kagome kept her face downcast and tried to wipe away the tears.
Inuyasha sighed. This whole situation has got everything all fucked up.
Sorry for the profanity at the end. BTW, to clear up Mrs. Higurashi's comment, she was talking about Naraku. Everyone clear? Good!
