A/N: acting like a little girl right now I would like to thank the first person to let me know that they like the story (: here's the next chapter, waddya think?

Chp 5; Unexpected guest..

Inuyasha watched as the pups sat still in the back of his car as he pulled up to the entrance of the building. Hopefully they like this, he thought to himself.

"Hey runts? you ready for some fun without your mom?" he asked back with a smile. They both beamed.

"That's what I thought, how about a movie?" he asked and they both nodded with excitement. He was pulling into a parking when his car started to ring again and it was her. Wanting to kill her, he settled for answering on the phone instead of the cars bluetooth.

"What" he demanded

"What? don't you 'what' me. why the hell haven't you called me! it's been over a week!"

"Didn't feel like it" was all he said while helping the kids out of the car. He set the phone down while he picked up Shiori and put her on his shoulders taking the hand that wasn't holding the phone and holding Takumi's hand as he walked through the front doors with sunglasses and a hood on. Kikyo was still going off on the phone so he ignored it and bought tickets quick before anyone saw him rushing into the dark theater. Finally, he set the kids in their seats ebfore paying someone to go buy some food for them. Now, he went back to the conversation.

"Kikyo, I really don't have time for this. I'm a little busy right now." he said, ready to ed the conversation, knowing the kids could hear it.

"What the hell could be more important than me? for over a week?!" Kikyo demanded.

"My pups." He said before hanging up on her. He looked at his kids and saw that they were trying to look innocent while fighting smiles. He messed up both of their heads of hair before the person he paid came back with their food. He gave an autograph as well before focusing on his pups again as the movie credits began.

"Pups? what pu -" Kikyo asked herself before the realization hit her, big time. She remembered that conversation on the phone with that bitch ( as she considers her). Then she realized that now he knows which meant someone had to of told him how Kikyo knew too. Crap, she thought.

"That bitch comes back into town and ruins everything for me!" she muttered to herself.

"NARAKU!" she called for her manager.

"hmm" he said not even looking at her.

"Get me on a flight home, NOW!" she demanded.

"Feisty today, aren't we? Dog still ignoring you?" he asked, still looking down at his laptop.

"NO. he answered me today." was all she said.

"lemme guess, he dumped you?" Naraku smirked

"I don't pay you to talk. I pay you to do as I ask. I dont need your opinions" she shot at him.

"Then obviously, I don't get paid enough.." he muttered.

"Just do it!" She yelled before storming off.

"Fucking models.." He muttered to himself before calling in for a flight.

"Fucking ass.." Kagome muttered to herself as she dialed again.

"What's up?" Ayame came up next to her looking concerned.

"Inuyasha won't freaking answer me!" she hissed nearly throwing her phone at the wall.

"Relax, I'm sure they're fine. You've called like every hour today. Obviously, at some point he was going to stop answering. You know that's just how he is." Ayame assured her by rubbing her back.

"Yes, oooooh I definitly know. He's an arrogent, self-centered ass who could give two shit on how others feel-But all of a sudden cares about the kids? as if." Kagome hissed

"I've got a feeling this hostility has to do with more than some missed calls, Kagome." Ayame said shyly.

"Damn right it does! Damn him if he thinks he can just pop up and the kids are his to- "

"They are his." Ayame cut in

"That's besides the point!" Kagome yelled knowing the music outside was too loud for someone to hear her.

"That's exactly the point, Kagome. They are his kids and he just found out about them, What else did you expect? For him to be that same arrogant jerk with them too?" Ayame asked

"Well.. yes."

"Even he is half human, you know. He does have somewhat of a heart underneath all that asshole." Ayame chimed in.

"I don't care. They are my kids." Kagome kept fight as she sat down.

"And his pups. If you keep fighting over this those twins are gonna have a much harder life and you know that."

"I hate when you're right" Kagome hissed.

"That's what I'm here for" Ayame smirked making Kagome laugh and throw something her.

"Hey!"

"Wolf reflexes. I was testing you" Kagome laughed

"Yea yea, shut up." Ayame teased throwing something back.

There was an hour and a half left in the event and Kagome's feet were killing her as she sat by the bar watching everything. A flick of silver her had her head turn to the left as Inuyasha took the drink in her hand on the right.

"Inuyasha!" she yelled.

"happy to see me?" he smirked

"Where are the kids!?" she hissed looking all around him, even patting him down.

"Oh yea, because of course a stuffed them in my pocket. They're at home, idiot!" he hissed back

"Why didn't you bring them to me? You were supposed to drop them off!" the she flew her hands in the air.

"Because I knew it would piss you off if I didn't" he winked.

"Asshole.." she muttered going back for the bar but he quickly grabbed her wrist to pull her to him.

"Inuyasha, wh-"

"Dance with me?" he said

"I'm working"

"Would you dance with me if you weren't?" he raised an eyebrow, still holding the girl.

"no" she simply said pushing him off to sit down on the bar stool, again.

"If I remember correctly, you used to love dancing with me" he smirked, following her.

"I loved a lot of things when I was 19.." she muttered more to herself but he caught it.

"Dance with me?" he tried again.

"Inuyasha.. no. I have to work." she said getting up and walking away before turning around. Her eyes were drooping and Inuyasha knew he had somehow upset her.

"Just.. Go home and tuck the kids in. They probably haven't been able to fall asleep. Shiori needs to be read to and Takumi likes to be tucked in.." she said before looking down and walking away from him.

She walked inside and the first thing she did was go into their rooms. The moment she saw neither one of them there she started to freak. She started to look everywhere until she decided to check the last place she wanted to look. She found herself at Inuyasha's room. After an internal battle, she opened the door. What she saw had her nearly falling back. Inuyasha was passed out in the center of the bed surrounded by stuffed animals that no doubt Shiori either made him buy or already had in the suitcase. She guessed that Shiori wanted him to see every single one she had. Then she saw Shiori passed out in the crook of Inuyasha arm clutching a book that she must have forced him to read. Takumi was asleep on the other side of Inuyasha. He actually had Inuyasha read toboth of them. Without realizing it, a tear fell down her cheek at the sight. It was beautiful to her. As if smelling her tear, Inuyasha started to stir in bed but didn't fully wake up. He only ended up pulling Shiori closer to him. It was the cutest thing she had ever seen. Trying to be as quiet as possible with three heads of hanyou ears in the room she went and she took off the stuffed animals and laid them out on the floor. Afterwards, she grabbed the blanket at the foot of the bed and place over the three. With one last warm smile she was out of the room closing the door.

She never noticed that Inuyasha was actually awake and paying attention to everything she did with his ears until she left the room and opened his eyes. Being as quick as he could he got off the bed without waking the kids and ran out the room after her. He was hit with that scent and followed it back to her old room. He quietly opened the door and found her at the foot of the bed. She was crying, he could smell it. He walked over to her and sat down next to her, scaring her for a minute before she went and tried to wipe her tears. He grabbed her hands away from her face and just looked at her. She had so many emotions locked away and he could just see. He could sense how hard she was trying to fight her emotions because she didn't want him to see her like that. His gut was starting to bother him at the realization that it was because of him. Because of him, she had a tight nit rope on everything that is her life. Because of him, shes been hurt for years. Because of him, she's tried to hide herself and her life for so long.

"I'm sorry" he chocked out

"For what?" she whispered but she already knew.

"Everything" he answered.

"It's not that easy, Inuyasha.."

"I know." he said looking down. She started to stand up and he followed her. She was trying to get away from him but he wouldn't let her.

"Please Inuyasha.." she pleaded with tears.

"I need you to know it.. " he held on to her.

"I can't Inuyasha, I just can't-" she said trying to look away.

"Kagome, please" he begged

"Can't you see it, Inuyasha?" she said stronger than she thought she could.

"You broke me.." she choked

"But I loved you" he tried but she got out of his hands.

"no, obviously not." she threw back before running away to her new room. He just stared after her without saying or doing anything else. He couldn't move.

Kagome woke up the next day Puffy eyed. That's what she gets for crying, she thought. It was past breakfast so she knew that her kids must be awake. The grill was closed today so she was free to lounge about all she wanted. She got up for a long hot shower that eventually turned into a bath. Forcefully, she got out and dressed to go look for her kids. They were no where in the house since she couldn't hear them anywhere and she should be able to, so she went out to the back by the pool. Finally, she heard some noises. She walked faster and caught the sight of a little silver haired girl and shoulders of her father. Shiori was smiling brightly and Inuyasha was running around in the water with her. She was still kind of far so she took a moment to take in the scenery. Her gaze shifter from Shiori to Takumi who was on the diving board and then finally to Inuyasha. Obviously, he only had on a pair of swimming trunks since he was in the water. But, looking at him, her breath was caught. She could tell that he's taken some time over the years to work on himself. His arms and chest were more toned than she ever remembered them. His trunks weren't took tight but it was obvious at how they fit him that his legs were finer as well. Working away the blush that crept up, she turned to go inside and change.

She went in her room and dug around her stuff to find her favorite one piece. She wasn't ashamed of her body. She just felt as though an intricate on piece could still make you look sexy without showing everything. She put it on and stared at herself in the mirror. It was black and one-shouldered. There was a medium sized circle cutout on her left side that went from her belly button to mid-lower back. An evil smirk was about to cross her face before she slapped a hand toherown mouth.

"Oh.. My.. God." she felt dumbfounded. She had fished out her favorite looking bathing suit for one reason and she only just figured it out. She wanted Inuyasha to see it. After about another minute of chastising herself. She decided to take a white lace scarf and tie to eneds onto her left hip underneath the cutout. The fabric went all the way down her legs minus the slit on her left side. Feeling a little bit more dignified, she walked out only to bump into someone in the hallway.

"Miroku? Where the HELL have you been?" she asked him.

"sorry dealing Inuyasha shi- Well, HELLOOOO" He said looking up and lifting her hands to look at her, she blushed.

"You like?" she asked smiling

"Lovely" he told her

"Pool time?" he raised a brow

"Inuyasha and the kids are already there." she said.

"well then, I'll join you all. Accompany me to my room for a quick change?" he linked her arm with his before placing his hand on her, she laughed.

"Oh Miroku. I'll wait for you but there is no way in hell I'm going in your room buddy" she laughed as she followed him.

After he changed they went back into the backyard. He had his arm in hers still and a towel around his neck with just trunks on. They were talking and laughing when Inuyasha heard them coming. He turned to look placing Shiori in the water with her brother Rin. He saw her and it was suddenly hard for him to stand up straight. Her bathing suit was modest but tight as hell. The top was giving her breast a bit of a bulge that Inuyasha couldn't help but notice. The scarf that was around her waist did nothing to hide her tanned legs. The slit would shift and he would see gorgeous legs walking and her had to pry his eyes up to her smiling face. She looked sexy and Inuyasha was well aware that his second head had taken notice as well. He started silently praying that the cold water would bring him down.

"Say Kagome?" Miroku leaned into her noticing Inuyasha staring.

"hmm? she leaned in as well, not noticing Inuyasha at all.

"Care to piss of a certain, hanyou?" he smirked

"why, of course" she giggled and with her anaswer, he immediatly placed his arm behind her waist pulling her to him. she faked a blush just as Miroku leaned in and placed a kiss at her temple. The fake blush was replaced with a new one as she turned to look at Miroku before she was pulled a part from him. She turned to find Inuyash there with a firm grip on her elbow.

"What is the MATTER with you!" she yelled at him.

"He was being a lech." was all he said before letting her go and walking back towards the pool. She turned to Miroku and saw the sneakiest smirk on his face before she was forcefully pick up and thrown... into the pool.

"INUYASHA!" she yelled coming up for air. She saw him rolling on the floor laughing and went to grab his foot before he came to. She caught it and pulled with everything she could and before he realized it he was hitting water. Kagome looked proud as Rin, Sesshomaru, and Miroku laughed at the situation. Inuyasha popped up looking mad as ever but before he could argue Takumi cut him off.

"MAMA!" he yelled jumping onto Kagome's side before Shiori did the same on the other.

"Hey babies" she coo'd nuzzeling both of their noses.

"pway mama?" Shiori asked.

"but- of course!" Kagome smiled. she walked over to the edge and threw her now drenched scarf onto an empty lawn chair before going back to focus on her kids. After some time playing with the kids Rin came back in the water and took them off of her hands. Inuyasha was lounging by the pool steps talking to Miroku about something so, Kagome took the change she had. She hopped out of the large pool and headed towards the deep end. She climbed up to the diving board and positioned herself at the end. She caught everyone looking and smirked to herself before placing her hands up and jumping foward. She completed and 360 and a twist before diving under. Coming back up to surface she heard people cheerin before Inuyasha popped up next to her.

"Been a while?" he winked.

"You could say that" she smirked before heading towards her kids as Inuyasha got out to 'show her how it's done'.

"Mama! mama! how'd you do that!" Takumi jumped on her.

"I used to practice, baby" she told him

"Can I practice?" his faced beamed

"me toooooo!" Shiori piped in.

"I don't see why not" Kagome smiled at them before turning to face Inuyasha jump off the board. He did a double twist and 360 before diving in. He came up and winked at Kagome, this started an all out war. It went like that for about an hour since Kagome wasn't about to back down. Eventually, they called a truce because neither one was backing down and the kids wanted to play with someone in the pool again. Kagome left that to Inuyasha as Rin pulled her onto a lawn chair for tanning and a 'sleep'.

"He thinks your hot, ya'know" Rin blurted.

"Rin!" kagome hissed

"What? I'm serious. he thinks the years have treated you well. Sesshomaru told me. He can sense it on Inuyasha every time he looks at you, even if he's pissed."

"It doesn't matter Rin."

"Sweetie, you're the mother of his children. Anything can happen."

"can it, Rin."

"alright alright, moving on. So! I was thinking to go look for some wedding dresses and I was really hoping that you'd come with? sound fun?" Rin squealed

"Um! of course! what kinf of " she was cut off by an erei shreik.

"INUUUUU!" came a yell from the house.

"Son of a " he stopped with one look from Kagome. Shiori was still in his arms and cursing was a definite no.

"Dammit" Sesshomaru shot up next to Rin.

"Shit" Miroku murmured standing up as well.

"Does everyone feel the need to curse around my children?" Kagome yelled.

"Ooh, pool party" a females voice yelled from the other side of the pool. Kagome went to look but Rin stood up fast and blocked her veiw.

"Kagome? care for a walk in the garden with me?" she asked with a forced smile?

"Rin?.."

"Come on, lets go" Rin tried to turn her but Kagome was faster and stronger. Hell, she was the mother of twin hanyous. She made it around Rin to finally see what she was trying to block. If Rin hadn't held onto her shoulder she would have fallen into the pool. There was the bitch that made everyone's lives miserable. There was the bitch that killed every single dream Kagome ever had. For the first time in her life, Kagome actually growled.

"Shiori, Takumi! Next to me now!" Kagome demanded and the kids quickly obeyed knowing something was wrong with their mother. They took their places at her side and held onto her legs behind her, kind of scared right now. There was Kikyo smirking down at Kagome before her gaze shifted to the pups. The stupidest grin came on her face before she spoke.

"Ooh, how cute! Aren't you two adorable." she coo'd

"Don't you dare speak to my children!" Kagome snapped surprising everyone. She was never much of an angry person so they weren't expecting her to snap. They should have known better, she was a mother now.

"Mama " Shiori called but kagome gave her a finger. Shiori looked up at Rin who gave her a reassuring smile before grabbing the girls other hand.

"They're Inuyasha's kids too, which makes me some sort of step mother? So yes, I can" Kikyo smirked.

"Try it again and lets see how long that smirk lasts on your face this time." Kagaome said.

"Try me bitch" Kikyo said and with that Kagome left her kids with Sesshomaru and nearly ran around the pool. Before she could actually get her hands around Kikyo's neck Inuyasha grabbing her by the waist and pulled her back.

"Inuyasha what the hell is wrong with you!" Kagome yelled having been put back down on the floor.

"Hurting her won't do any good!" He hissed back at her

"Thanks Inu" Kikyo coo'd at him. Disgusting, Kagome thought. Inuyasha ignored her.

"So that's it?" Kagome asked incredulously

"What?" he threw back standing between the two girls.

"You say nothing or do nothing? Again? That's all we get that we can't hurt her? No one in this fucking country likes the bitch and you defend her? You defend her in front of your own children?! OUR children?" She yelled frantically and Kikyo started to giggle.

"Kagome ple- " she stopped him

"No! We were doing good, Inuyasha. Great, actually, but then you let her come and just disrespect me in front of my own children? Fuck off-" She said before stalking off.

"Kagom- "

"don't." She said before grabbing a crying Shiori and telling Takumi to follow her. All Inuyasha could do was watch as Rin shook her head at him and ran off after Kagome. His own brother and best friend left him there too.

"Inu! Finlly we're alone" Kikyo said jumping onto his side bringing him back to reality.

"Kikyo what the hell are you doing here!" Inuyasha pushed her off.

"I haven't seen you in over two weeks. I wanted to see you, I've missed you." She smiled at him.

"So you come in like that? Acting like a bitch?"

"She started it with me, Inu!"

"No she did not!" he fought back

"Yes she did, by telling I coudln't even tell her kids that they were cute!" Kikyo whined.

"She has a right to! She's there mother!" Inuyasha yelled.

"And you're there father, I can do as I please." She tried to come back onto him but he pushed her back again.

"No, you can't" Inuyasha simply stated.

"Just leave, will you." He threw his hands up starting to walk away.

"I will not! I came here to see you, babe"

"Well I don't want to see you!" He yelled

"You- you don't mean that" Kikyo faltered.

"Yes, actually. I do." he said to her.

"Inuyasha wait, why! Bu- "

"Thats it Kikyo. I can't take this crap anymore! What he had was crap and I'm starting to realize that" He said to her

"Why because she came back?! She wont get back with you Inuyasha. She won't ever trust you again, that much is true. Leaving me won't change that!" Kikyo stated.

"It is because she came back. It's exactly because she came back. Seeing her, I've realized what I've spent the last four years without and I'm not going to let that happen again because of you so just get out." he yelled

"It won't work, my love. A womans heart is easily shattered yet harder to put together again especially by the same person. This is exactly why I never told you." Kikyo smirked.

"Oh, we'll be back" and she left. He watched her go for a miniute trying to calm down the demon inside of him who was itching to get to her over her last comment. When he finally did, he ran off to find his family.

A/N: Okay, I don't entirely hate Kikyo. Even with the series, I force myself to cut her some slack but I needed a villain.. sorry :l
