17 'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

"Just let me in the fucking house!"

"Sorry, Inuyasha-jii-san. I can't do that."

"'Jii-san'? What the fuck? Did Sesshoumaru fucking brainwash you too? Just let me in the fucking house, squirt!" Katsuya just stared at the man he had been forced to call 'father' for his entire life, the confused and angered hanyou just on the other side of the door he was keeping blocked. Suddenly, Inuyasha froze right before a hand landed on his shoulder. Katsuya turned his eyes to his mothers. She looked calm, collected. Impenetrable.

"Katsuya, please step away from the door." He stared hard into her eyes and she gave a small nod and so he gave a nod back, stepping away from the door. Kagome gently pulled the door opened and stood firmly in the doorway. Inuyasha stepped up to her but there must have been a warning in her expression because he took the same step back. "What do you want Inuyasha?"

"I wanna know what the hell is going on, Kagome? I come home and you and Katsuya are gone, you're not answering your phones, and you never come home? Then I find out you've been with my pops the entire time? What the f-!" His rant was cut off by Kagome's hand meeting his cheek with a loud crack.

"That is enough, Inuyasha. I can't believe you! The-the-the balls you've got to have to do this to me?" Inuyasha started in his surprise of her wording and Katsuya blinked before a slow smile spread across his lips. None of the foyer's occupants noticed the appearance of the two youkai in the back. "How long have you been fucking my cousin, Inuyasha?" His mouth gaped uselessly. If Kagome of all people was cursing, she was pissed. "You did it in high school. You did it the night Katsuya was conceived, oh and by the way, he's not yours. And you did it on our dinning room table?" Her soon-to-be ex-husband/-Mate was losing colour with every word and stumbling back. "I gave you everything, Inuyasha! For over a decade, I gave you everything! I went back to you, even though I knew you had cheated on me more than once! I just kept giving you second chances. But guess what? You don't get any more. I'm done with you. And since you seem to care about Katsuya less and less in recent years, you can forget about seeing him again. Ever. I have been your doormat for too long, and I will not be any longer. And I'm filing for divorce. If I have a choice, you will not be seeing me again for a very long time."

Inuyasha's mouth finally began to work.

"How long?" She gave him a long, hard look.

"Until I decide to forgive you. Don't try to contact me or Katsuya until then. Goodbye." She was about to slam the door closed when a clawed hand slipped around the edges. Kagome looked up in surprise at the hand, following it to Touga's smiling face.

"Dad?"

"Hello, son. I just wanted to inform you that I will be disowning you until further notice. Basically until Kagome does decide to forgive you again."

"Wha-? You can't fucking do that! How am I going to pay for my house, my food?"

"Well, you could get a job for once." Touga's smile was positively shit-eating and Inuyasha seemed to be able to do nothing but gape. Kagome jumped when Sesshoumaru's warmth was suddenly at her other shoulder, one of his large hands curling around her waist and pulling her into him. Katsuya shoved between them to stand in front of her. She almost laughed her men's protective gestures. Oh, how she loved them.

"Inuyasha." The hanyou looked up at his half-brother with wide, unsure eyes. "I am the boy's father. Goodbye." And with that, he firmly shut the door in the stunned male's face. They all just stood there for a minute in the quiet. The males could hear Inuyasha's heartbeat just on the other side of the door until he finally walked away. Kagome took a deep sigh and let her head fall against the thick wood door. The scent of her tears followed shortly but she did not move. The three males just stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.

"Katsuya?" Her voice was so very soft, just a whisper.

"Yes, momma?"

"Can I have a hug?" He let out a soft, startled chuckle.

"Of course, momma." He wrapped his arms tight around her waist and pressed his cheek against her back, emitting a soft growl of comfort. The scent of her tears increased but she didn't make a sound, her shoulders did not shake. They weren't standing that way long when the scent of her tears faded and she straightened. She scrubbed furiously at her face, trying to remove all traces of her tears before turning to face the three waiting youkai.

"Well," she started, with a deep sigh and a bright smile, "that went well." She turned to look at Touga. "Papa? Do you think you could come with me to City Hall? I would like to get this all done today, if possible." He gave her another of his understanding, gentle smiles.

"Of course, dear. We will all go." She gave him a grateful look.

"Oh, papa. I really don't know how I will ever repay you for everything you've done for me, for both of us." He moved forward, enveloping her in a bear hug.

"And how many times do I have to tell you that you are pack? You don't have to do anything other than be yourself, of which you are doing a fine job. And we love you, just the way you are."

"Exactly," Katsuya piped up, gluing himself to her hip, elbowing his grandfather out of the way to worm his arms around her waist.

"Father speaks the truth," Sesshoumaru added, his eyes boring intensely into hers. Kagome's cheeks pinkened as his meaning sunk in and she kept her eyes on his, even as she hugged their son. With this as a topper to the day he had just had and witnessed, maybe things were moving his way after all.

Well, you know what? As I was writing the beginning of this chapter, I realized that it wasn't what was needed. At least, just yet. So the original chapter 17 was turned into a chapter 18. That's right. You read that right. EPILOGUE TIME! Next week.
