Chapter
13: The Photographer
Kagome reflected about all that she
and Shippo had talked about. They had
mostly remained silent, which was just plain weird for the kit. She smiled while she thought about her
little kit from the past. She had loved
being a kind of mom for him. She knew
that she had indulged him quite a bit, but at 15, one doesn’t seem to realize
where the line lays between being a pushover and being a loving mother.
He had told her a little about his
mate, Minka, and even his three daughters and one son. His son, Juji, was the child he had actually
had trouble with. His daughters had a
much sweeter temperament then his son, although they could be devious and were
over confident in the fact that they had him wrapped around their little
fingers.
He clearly adored his son. He was close to his son, but he just
couldn’t figure out why he kept running away.
He had made a point of remarking that he felt that his son was a lot
like him when he was younger. He had a
definite mischievous streak as well as an innocence that cloaked around him to
disguise it.
They had even spoken a little of
Miroku and Sango and their descendents.
“We
all missed you. Inu Yasha most of
all. We traveled and tried to take care
of him for you.” The words briefly
reflected the pain that her pack had taken on.
“It
was supposed to be happily ever after when Inu Yasha and I mated and Sango and
Miroku married. We were supposed to
raise you and meet your mate when you fell in love. We were supposed to have this baby and more after it and raise
them all in feudal Japan where they could have fresh, sweet air and room to
grow, explore and have love.” Her
sadness and regret filled each word of her speech.
Shippo couldn’t stand to see the
woman that he viewed as so strong seem so broken. He smiled and sat down next to her. “You have him back. You
have your baby still. You also have his
family now. You have given a lot to Inu
Yasha and even to Sesshomaru. Over the
years after Inu Yasha was once again pinned to a tree, Sesshomaru waited for
you. He changed with each passing year
and did what he had to so that he could take care of you. I know that you have both of their mating
marks, and I also know neither want to let you go. You must find a balance for them. Besides, you can always hide out at my house for a little while
if you need somebody to spoil you and to hide from the dog brothers. I know that would irritate them to no end
and make them behave.” By the end of
Shippo’s pep talk, both were laughing.
A short time later, the phone rang
when Sesshomaru called.
As instructed, Shippo went to his
home to see about his son. Before he
left, he sniffed for any possible dangers to Kagome. He grinned and left when he heard the locks click in place.
~*~*~*~*~
Inu Yasha ~*~*~*~*~
Inu Yasha looked between Sesshomaru,
who looked just as emotionless as he did in the past, and Juji, who showed
every bit of his anger on his face. The
air was tense and thick as they waited for Shippo to come back. Minka had breathed a sigh of relief and
hugged her son before scolding him for worrying them.
Juji looked down at the camera in
his hands. He carried a back pack with his
film and other necessities for it as well as a few changes of clothes and other
things he needed, including his money.
He looked back at Sesshomaru. He
always managed to find him. He had also
quit questioning why he ran off any more and just now gives him the blank stare
that would kill if it had the time to waste on his miserable hide.
“Who
do you have with you, Sesshomaru?” he asked with all the attitude he could push
into his voice.
“You
know who this is, Juji. You have heard
stories about him all your life from both your father and myself,” came his
evasive reply.
Juji just shrugged and extended his
hand toward Inu Yasha, knowing perfectly well who it was. “I’m Shippo’s son, Juji. You are…”
“Don’t
give me that shit. I saw your
sketches. You know perfectly well that
I am Inu Yasha.”
“So,
you snooped in my room. Have fun?”
Inu Yasha just shrugged before
standing. “That’s how Sesshomaru
figured out where you were. Something
about your camera being gone, so you had to be somewhere that was scenic. He remembered where all he picked you up at
and knew that you wouldn’t be there. He
also said something about the game day down at the park. Why don’t you come with me, pup?”
“What
is the purpose of running? Do you like
to worry your parents and have my brother come after you?” Inu Yasha watched
the teenager closely as he asked his questions.
“What
would you know about it? You didn’t
exactly have it hard, did you? You had
this spectacular woman I have heard about all my life by the name of
Kagome. You had adventure and
friends. I just get the leftovers in
the form of bedtime stories. We may
travel a lot and have different homes all over the place, but I can’t find
anybody for myself. I can’t find
friends or love. Humans are all over
the place, which is no problem, but we have to pretend to be one of them. I can’t tell them that I am a fox
demon. I don’t even live in the shadow
of my parents. It’s your image that Dad
loves. Yours and Kagome’s. He told us ever since before I was born
about your love and your adventures and even your antics. I want what I keep hearing about. I want adventure. I want freedom, and I want love.”
His chest was heaving when he
finished his outburst. The next few
seconds saw to it that he felt what his dad had felt while traveling with Inu
Yasha and the pack. His head hurt.
Inu Yasha bopped the kit’s head
three times in rapid succession.
“You
think I had it easy, do you? Well, you
know nothing about being a hanyou. Most
of my life, I had to hide. I mean from
everyone. Yeah, I found friends, but I
didn’t do that on my own. I was so
fucking lucky when Kagome freed me from the binding arrow that Kikyo put into
my heart. She is the reason I have
anybody. Yeah, I had adventure, but I
also had my fair share of danger. I
hated not knowing if somebody would one day kill Kagome or even Miroku, Sango
or your dad. I hated that. This time even has its dangers. Now, I am have the mate that I never dared
dream that I would have, and she is attempting to give me my brother on a
permanent basis. I know she is. So, yeah, I have all that stuff you think
you are missing out on, but I had to go through suffering to get it. You can fucking have friends if you wanted
them. You have something I always
wanted-SAFETY AND REASSURANCES. I may have it now, but how do I know it is
going to last? I know what is out
there. I also know that you don’t want
to know everything I know. Your dad
always had a flair for telling stories.
I am sure that he made them more than what they were to live them. Although, the love and lessons are real.”
Juji looked up at Inu Yasha,
stunned. He had never really thought
about how hard it had to be. His dad
always made their adventures sound wonderful.
“Besides,
I will let you know a little secret.
Your dad was scared. He may have
sucked it up and stayed brave and all that, but he was still scared.”
Juji busted out laughing at
that. “My dad was scared? I can’t believe it. I can’t even picture that. Oh man, this is rich,” he said around his
laughter. He straightened up and looked
up at Inu Yasha. “Do you think I can
meet Kagome? I have always wanted to
meet you two. Shippo even took me to
where you were pinned the second time when I was younger. She is here now, in this time, isn’t she?”
he looked up at the silver haired hanyou, hoping to get the answer he wanted.
Inu Yasha sighed and nodded. “I probably couldn’t stop her from meeting
you even if I wanted to. But, you need
to stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself.
I also will warn you right now: she is vicious if you piss her off,
especially with shit about feeling sorry for yourself. Shippo got scared of her when she was like that,
and you sure as hell don’t want to face her when she is like that.”
The youth’s eyes widened, and he
responded with a shaky nod of his head.
A cough snapped them out of their
conversation. Inu Yasha turned and
looked back at Shippo. “Hi runt. Here’s you kid.” He stepped by them.
“Inu
Yasha, bring Kagome by soon, please.”
Father looked at son, and son looked back. Inu Yasha muttered to himself about how son was so like father.
Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru walked back
to the car together and headed back to the office.
The brothers stepped into the office
and were met with a grinning Kagome.
The petite woman stepped up to them.
She slid her arms around Sesshomaru’s neck and kissed him before moving
over to Inu Yasha and giving him the same greeting.
“Let’s
go home and relax. Ok guys?” Kagome
said with a bubbly smile on her face.
~*~*~*~*~
Later that Evening ~*~*~*~*~
Kagome smiled and snuggled further
back into the couch. The movie that was
enchanting the three of them was playing on.
She loved “Howl’s Moving Castle.”
As she shifted around, her head
ended up in Sesshomaru’s side with his arm around her, and her feet and legs
ended up in Inu Yasha’s lap with one of his hands rubbing her belly and the
other holding and stroking her leg. The
brothers looked at each other over their little mate and smiled. She was happy and at peace. Sesshomaru looked down at her and noticed as
her eyes began to drop. He leaned down and
kissed her forehead, shifting his gaze to the blanket that Kagome kept over the
back of the couch.
Inu Yasha took the hint wordlessly
and pulled it easily down and covered her with it. The added warmth lulled her into a light sleep. The brothers looked at each other again when
their hands met on her belly. The pup
there was moving around actively, soaking up the attention it was getting.
A tense moment dragged by. Their eyes continued to look stare straight
into the other’s identical amber depth.
