Kagome shuffled her feet through the sliding doors and squinted as she scanned the bright yellow and green walls. A woman sat behind a large white desk and leaned over a computer. Her glasses reflected the white computer screen and blocked out her eyes.

"Hey," Kagome walked over and stopped at the desk. "I need to pick up my children."

The woman didn't answer at first but snaked a hand up. Tapping a red painted nail on the clipboard that rested on the desk, she pointed to the log in sheet.

"Fill it out and go to the back door."

Frowning, Kagome jotted out the required text and then slid by the desk. She could hear her pounding pulse echo off the walls. Her eyes trailed over the colored pictures that were posted over the banners and she stopped at the door. Wrapping her hands around the knob, she hesitated.

Taking a breath, she scolded herself. 'This is not the hardest thing you've ever had to do Kagome.'

And yet, Kagome couldn't shake the feeling. How exactly would she explain this? Zel would probably pick up quickly, Kagome never would worry about Zel. The young girl mimicked her so, if Kagome deemed Inuyasha safe, so would she.

Twisting the knob she pushed it open. An ambush of noise struck her and Kagome stiffened. Before she could pick out her children from the crowd of kids playing, she felt a tug at her shirt.

"Zel." A relief washed over her, and Kagome kneeled down to sweep up the young girl. Zel wrapped her fingers in Kagome's shirt and rested her head against Kagome's shoulder. Standing, she spotted the other two in the back of the room. Maneuvering, Kagome reached them while watching them twitch the annoying hats they wore.

"I hate that game."

"Come onnnnn." Ko kept pleading to her unrelenting sister. They both sprung up when they felt the other presence.

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

Kagome grinned when they waved their arms.

"Hey girls. Come on, we're leaving." She reached a free hand to brush over their hair absently directing them to the exit.

Her mind clicked over what she was preparing to say when they reached the quieter room. But Kagome never got the chance.

Meimi and Ko raced ahead of her, jumping every few steps.

"Mom! Mom!!!" They started to cry in glee and Kagome fidgeted. She turned the corner to spot Inuyasha who had posted himself on the side of the room.

Kagome jerked her head to find the desk empty and the awkward girl missing. She sucked in a breath that was immediately lost when the girls raced up to Inuyasha. Zel only tightened her grip.

"Who's this?"

"Look at him mom!"

"Look at his clothes!"

"Yea, what's with his clothes?"

Kagome's opened her mouth but didn't bother to speak. The dog demon stiffened, his eyes staring at the ground where the girls stood.

Inuyasha could have sworn his heart stopped. His ears twitched, stomach churning. Pushing himself against the wall, he tried to think. But the thoughts didn't grace themselves. His eyes only roamed over the tiny girls. The caps that pressed to their heads and their shiny black hair that ran over their shoulders. Their eyes glowed widely and Inuyasha could almost feel the blood leave his face.

"Isn't a talker is he?" Ko shook her head disapprovingly and trotted forward to tug on the pants of Inuyasha's firerat cloth. The dog demon almost jumped in response.

"Oh! Ko, look at his ears. He has ears like us!" Meimi's voice suddenly shot up loud enough to hurt Kagome's ears. The twins abruptly started to hop in their spot, the squees coming from them almost bouncing off the walls. Inuyasha's eyes could only seem to grow wider.

"Ohh, where'd you get ears like that mister?" Ko would have reached out and grab them if she could of.

Kagome had held her position as her nerves had left her. But the sudden question snapped her back to reality. Stepping forward, she went to pull the girl back. Inuyasha hadn't reacted. Kagome wasn't entirely sure how he'd react but the dog demon almost looked scared. The idea almost made her crank her head forward with embarrassment. Of course Meimi and Ko would scare anyone. They always knew how to come on strongly.

"Come on, be polite." Kagome chided trying to beckon the girls back but they wouldn't listen.

Inuyasha folded his arms into the billowing sleeves of his robe and not to squirm. The blood never really returned to his face and he was starting to get light headed.

He tried to regain his composure but his thoughts kept falling dead center on the shock. His children. His girls?

His eyes suddenly darted to the quiet girl that sat in Kagome's arms. She buried her face into Kagome's shirt when he looked but Inuyasha still saw the human ears. A litter. Of course she'd have a litter.

"Inuyasha, this is Meimi and Ko." She fingered the heads of the girls who kept twitching, antsy. "And this is Zel." She turned her chin down to the girl who stayed in her arms.

Inuyasha opened his mouth for a second before he squeaked, "All girls?"

Kagome coughed in surprise and looked back up. Inuyasha's eyes had fallen away from her and back to the girls below him. "All of them?"

"Hey, you got a problem with girls?" Ko perked up when she understood the conversation and balled her fists. "I got a brother too! And he'd beat you up if he heard that." She shook her tiny fist but the hanyou in front of her didn't seem frightened.

Inuyasha just shifted his weight, his muscles so tight they started to ache with anxiety.

Kagome let out a breath and knew what she had to do next. Turning around, she scanned the room to double check if it was empty.

"Okay," She kneeled down to be closer to them and mentally prepped herself. "About Inuyasha here…"
