((So my Beta and I get to go swimming tomorrow with our Youth Group... I don't think I will be able to upload anymore chapters until Monday. I will also have to have my Beta look over the last four chapters to see if I missed anything.

Have fun reading~!))

~Chapter 6~

The first stop for them was the bed store to find the types of coverlets Rin, Inuyasha and Shippo would like. "Stay toge-..." She watched as they all bolted in opposite directions. "This is why I am glad I went to school..." She made two shadow clones, one for each boy then took off after Rin.

"So Shippo~ What type of coverlet are you looking for?" A shadow clone of Kagome had caught up to the little red head that was bouncing around, trying to find the right one for his room. She picked Shippo up and put him on her shoulders."This any better?" She smiled as Shippo nodded his head rapidly in responce, and she walked up and down the aisles of green and blue coverlets. "See one you like?"

"Yes I do! That one!" He pointed towards one that had a beautiful scene of a woodland forest area with foxes laying at the foot of the material. Kagome pulled it out and held it up so he could feel it. "I really like it! It's so soft!" She turned it over and let Shippo feel the moss green under layer that would be facing the bed. Shippo smiled and held it to him. "I want this one, please."

Kagome smiled and nodded, folding the coverlet. "Shalll we go find the matching pillow cases in blue for the sky?" She got an automatic 'yes' from her passenger and headed off to the pillow case department.

In another part of the store, with all of the 'princess' type coverlets, Kagome and Rin were looking for something that would match her perfectly. "Hmm... I don't think any of these match you, Rin-chan." She looked at the little girl attached to her side and watched as the little girl pointed to a folded mass of interchanging teal, medium blue, light purple, and a light magenta. Kagome set Rin down and Rin popped a thumb into her mouth, looking up at Kagome with her stuffed Shomu in her arms. Kagome unfolded the coverlet and let Rin see it. "This one, Rin?" She Looked over the top of it to see the little girl's reaction.

Rin looked at the blanket and stepped forward, thumb still firmly laudged in her mouth, and ran her other hand over the material softly. Her eyes lit up and she smiled, nodding. "Please?" She mumbled around her thumb, tracing the silver sakura petals that floated over the different colors. "Its pretty." She looked up at Kagome, her big brown eyes doe shining brightly with happiness.

Kagome smiled and folded the coverlet up, and knelt in front of Rin. "I think that today I am going to treat you like a princess and your brothers like princes and spoil you three silly today." She smiled as Rin latched onto her, taking her thumb out of her mouth, mumbing a barely audiable 'thank you' before taking Kagome's hand that was empty. "Lets go find the rest of the stuff for your bed." Kagome smiled even more as she led Rin through the store.

Inuyasha was looking through red coverlets, trying to find the one he would like the most. So far the covers he looked through were either too red or not red enough. The second Kagome shadow clone found Inuyasha and snuck up on him, tickling his sides. "I found you!" Inuyasha shot out of Kagome's grasp, eyes wide in shock. The clone laughed and waited for Inuyasha to return to were he was looking. "Sorry, Yasha-kun. I couldn't pass up the opertunity that faced me."

Inuyasha gave the best glare he could for being six years old. He watched as Kagome smiled and reached over to ruffle his hair but he dodged out of the wait in time for her to miss. He turned away and started to look back at the covers again. "I can't find one I like..." He crossed his arms and pouted a little, glaring at the coverlets.

Kagome smiked and picked Inuyasha up. "I know something you might like." She walked over to where the black covers were and started looking through them. "Here it is!" She smiled as she pulled out a soft black coverlet with red designs down the center of it. She knew that Inuyasha would like it because she had known a few other people who she had recomended it to in other colors. None of them were bold enough, though, to go for the red designs but Inuyasha was, she was sure of it.

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he looked over it. "That's cool! And its got the right shade of red on it!" He smiled and grabbed a corner of it, rubbing it against his cheek, sighing softly. "It so soft too!" He looked up at Kagome. "Can I get it? Please, 'Gome-chan? Can I get it?" He was bouncing around and she smiled, nodding. Inuyasha launched himself at her and hugged her. "Thank you, nee-chan!"

Kagome knelt down and hugged him in return. "You're welcome, otouto." She then pulled back and looked at him. "What are you thinking, Yasha-kun?"

Inuyasha smirked and hugged her again. "You'll see! Lets go find the others first." Kagome rolled her eyes and folded the coverlet up and picked Inuyasha up. "I think they are over at the pillows..."

Kagome rolled her eyes and she laughed a little. "I know what you want to do..."

8*8*8*8*8*8

One of the clones had met up with Kagome and Rin, dispercing as soon as the forest style coverlet was handed over. Kagome smiled at Shippo's choice. "So we are looking for blue pillows, huh?" She watched Shippo nod and she smiled. "Alright, lets get started."

The second clone and Inuyasha snuck up on the original Kagome and the two children looking for pillows. Inuyasha and the clone had armed themselves with the pillows that matched Inu's coverlet and stood right behind the three unsuspecting people. "PILLOW FIGHT!" Inuyasha yelled and ran at Shippo. The clone went after Kagome and Rin.

Kagome turned around and dispelled her clone and looked at Shippo and Inuyasha, who were in full out pillow fight mode. She then looked at Rin and they both smiled. "Boys against girls!" She and Rin yelled as they armed themselves with Rin's pillows and attacked the boys.

Inuyasha and Shippo turn around and try to fend off the girls only to get bowled over into a pile of pillows. Rin smiled and giggled, going after Shippo while Kagome went after Inuyasha. Kagome squeaked as she was tackled by Shippo, and landed in a pile of pillows herself. "Get Kagome-nee!" Shippo yelled as he started to hit her with a pillow. Rin and Inuyasha giggled and started attacking Kagome as well. "Yeah!" They all laugh and drop their pillows, only to start tickling her.

Kagome gasped and started to writh in the pillows to get away from them. "No~! Not the tickling torture!" She laughed and rolled over, covering her belly to shield it from the children tickling her.

The children all landed on her and hugged her, tickling her still. "We will win, Kagome-nee!" Inuyasha laughed as he tried to tickle Kagome's belly.

Rin giggled, got up and took a few steps back, not wanting to get caught in the tickling. She smiled and watched as Kagome made a few shadow clones and started tickling the boys in return. "Pay back boys!" Kagome laughed as her clones tickled the boys into submission. She stopped tickling them and the clones as well, starting to pick up the pillows they were buying for the rooms and the coverlets as well. They all made their way to the front of the store, dishevled from their pillow and tickle fight, to pay for their purchaces.

Kagome paid for all of it and had them send it straight to the house by her shadow clones. "It's always nice to have help on hand." She smiled as she gathered the three up and headed off to the next stop, the clothing store!

8*8*8*8*8*8

Kagome had a few clones go off with the boys to try and find them something they would wear and would like to have as extra outfits for whatever might happen through the day. Kagome smiled as Rin reached up for Kagome to pick her up. She rested her head on Kagome's shoulder and let the older girl take her through the store, picking out what she thought would be cute for Rin.

Rin had closed her eyes and popped her thumb into her mouth and started to doze off when Kagome bounced her a little. "Rin, do you like this kimono?" Kagome held up an orange and yellow square patterned kimono with a green obi. Rin's eyes widened and she looked up at Kagome, nodding a little. She then put her head back on Kagome's shoulder and watched Kagome put the kimono and obi with the rest of what they were getting.

8*8*8*8*8*8

Inuyasha and Shippo went off to find something /different/ than what they had before, namely hand-me-downs that were falling apart. Inuyasha was looking in the boys clothing for something red. "Hey Shippo, can you help me find something red?"

Shippo smiled and nodded. "Sure! As long as you can help me find something that's not... This..." He waved to what he was wearing, a shirt riddled with holes and a pair of shorts that made him stumble every few feet because they doubled as extra long pants. Shippo started to look at the clothed on the racks, looking for something for both of them.

A pair of Kagome clones came up behind the unsuspecting boys and picked them up, setting them on their shoulders. The boys screamed until they realized who picked them up and they looked down at the Kagome's with them. They smiled and held onto the faces in front of them and started looking again. One of the Kagome's smiled. "Let us pick some of the clothes out then we'll have you two pick out the last outfit." The clones smiled as the boys nodded.

About a half an hour later, the clones had filled up a basket full of clothes each for the boys. The boys were finally able to come down and search for the outfit they wanted the most. Inuyasha went to the reds and Shippo went to the greens and blues. A few minutes later they came back with separate outfits and held them up for the clones to look at. Inuyasha had a red pair of hakamas, a white undershirt, and a red kimono top for his outfit. Shippo had found a set of navy blue hakamas, a green kimono top with leaves all over it, and a vest made of fur.

The original Kagome came from between a few racks of clothes and looked at the outfits, smiling. "I think they match you guys." She gathered the price tags for the pieces to their ensembles, set Rin down and handed her her kimono. "Go ahead and get changed. We get to meet a friend of mine next." Kagome smiled as she watched the children run off to find the dressing rooms, the two clones following after.

Kagome made another clone appear to help her take the baskets to the check out area. She smiled as she started handing the price tags to the merchand, watching the merchand's eyes widen. "Do you have everything you need?"

Kagome smiled and nodded. "I should. But knowing those three they'll come back with another item."

A while later, after everything was rung up, the three children came back up to the front, each holding a pair of shoes that were shinobi sandals. Kagome giggled, took the price tags and let them put on the sandals, handing the tags to the merchand. "Well, ma'am. You were right that they'd come back with something new."

Kagome nodded. "I know them so well already. They have never really been spoiled till today." She smiled as they all latched onto her and giggled. "I adopted them because I thought that they deserved a chance to have a family." She smiled and handed him the money needed to pay for all the clothes they bought. "Thank you sir for letting us shop!" She smiled and waved as her clones took the bags of clothes back to the house.

She picked Rin up and sat her on her hip. "Ok... I think we will be able to make it before lunck to Mikoto's." She looked at them and smiled. "Ready?"

Shippo and Inuyasha started bouncing and loudly agreeing as little Rin Nodded her head, popped her thumb into her mouth and rested her head against Kagome's shoulder, tired alreadt from today's activities. "Alright then. I hope you guys will be nice to her sons. The eldest will be watching you for a few minutes while I make lunch for everyone." Kagome giggled as Shippo took her hand and Inuyasha held onto the sleeve of the arm holding Rin up.

As they walked over to the Uchiha compound, Rin buried her face into Kagome's neck, using the older girl's hair to block the sun from her eyes. She soon fell asleep on Kagome's shoulder, tuning the world out.

*Dream Sequence*

She was running through all of the flowers she could before kneeling down to make flower crowns for everyone. She smiled as she ran over and put one on Sesshomaru's head, causing him to smile, only for her. She smiled and hugged Sesshomaru. "I love you otou-san.." She mumbled softly before running of to make more flower crowns for everyone.

Shippo and Inuyasha were running around her as she made them flower crowns and she ran up to them, holding out a flower crown each. "For my aniki's." She smiled as she put the crowns on their heads, then started to run, causing the boys to laugh and chase her at slower speeds to make her think she was escaping them

*End of Dream*

Rin groaned a little, tugging on the fist full of hair that she had grabbed in her nap. "Ow! Rin-chan, please let go of my hair..." Rin opened her eyes to see Kagome looking at her with a soft smile. She slowly let go of the hair and looked down. "Thank you Rin. Also we are here."

That got the attention on of the boys as well as Rin. They all looked up at the door they were standing in front of and watched as Kagome knocked. "Now remembedr to be nice and to behave.,... Please." She looked up and glared at the person who opened the door. "You?!" They yelled at the same time. The glare was returned in full force.

"I am here to see Mikoto. I want her to meet my otouto's and imouto." Kagome smiled a little

"Sorry, but she's not here right now. You can come if for now though." Itachi stepped out of the way to let them in, knowing that this wasn't going to turn out good. For him anyway.
