Mending a broken heart

Kagome had been asleep for about an hour when she awoke to someone caressing her face.

"Wake up mate. My mother is back with Kora and her sister." Sesshomaru said.

"Ok. Give me a few minuets and I'll be right down."

"Take your time love." He said before giving her a kiss and leaving the room. After she got dressed she went downstairs to the family room. She smiled when she saw Kora.

"Kora it's great to see you again." She said as she gave Kora a hug.

"It's good to see you as well Kagome. I'm glad you picked me to be your midwife."

"Well Noriko told us that you were a midwife and we decided to pick you." Kagome said smiling.

"Thank you." Kora said.

"Hey, where's that adorable sister of yours?" Kagome asked when she didn't see Keiko.

"Oh no! Not again! That little scamp is always wandering off." Kora said. Just then they heard some giggling and Inuyasha complaining.

"Will you stop that! Those ain't toys!" Inuyasha yelled. They all looked towards the door and saw Inuyasha walk in the room carrying Keiko out in front of him trying to pry her from his ears.

"Hey, whose kid is this? Can ya please get her off my ears!"

"Keiko! I'm so sorry! My sister tends to get away from me." Kora said as she took Keiko from him. When Inuyasha got a good look at Kora he blushed.

"Uh...th-that's ok. I uh I'm fine."

"You must be lord Sesshomaru's brother. My name's Kora." She said smiling.

"M-my name's...uh...In-Inuyasha."

"Yassa puppy!" Keiko said giggling.

"I ain't no puppy kid!"

Kora smiled. "Well you do remind me of a puppy. You do have such cute puppy ears after all." She said.

"K-keh. They ain't cute!" He said blushing.

Noriko, Sesshomaru and Kagome all watched them smiling. They could all tell that Inuyasha was attracted to Kora. Now only time would tell if they ended up together or not. They decided to leave the room to let them get to know one another.

"It appears that Inuyasha has found a potential mate." Sesshomaru said once they left the room.

"Yeah. I think she'll be good for him." Kagome said.

"Since neither of you have anything else to do right now, why don't we start working on the pup's room?" Noriko asked.

"Great idea!" Kagome said smiling.

"You and mother go ahead and start on it. I'm going to take Ah-Un to the market to buy some furniture for the room."

"Why can't we just use your old furniture from when you were a pup? We'll just have to clean it up a little." Noriko asked.

"Alright. I still need to go though to buy the pup some cloathes." Sesshomaru said.

"Oh no you aren't! You leave that to your mother and I." Kagome protested.

"Why?" He asked confused as to why she didn't want him to go cloathing shopping for their pup.

Noriko lifted a brow. "It's simple. Men have no taste in cloathing when it comes to pups. We women know how to dress a child to make it look adorable." Noriko said crossing her arms.

Sesshomaru sighed. "Then what am I to do? It is my pup as well. I should be able to do something for it."

Noriko and Kagome smiled. "You are going to move all the furniture, all the lifting and reaching all the high places that your mate and I can't reach." Noriko said smiling.

"Yep. That's the man's job. The decorating and picking out the cloathes is the womens job." Kagome said smiling.

"Alright. I'd rather you not do any heavy lifting anyways since you're pupped." He said giving her a kiss.

So the three of them went to Sesshomaru's old nursery to clean and decorate it. By the time they were done it was dinner time. Noriko and Kagome went down to dinner while Sesshomaru went in search of his brother. He found him outside watching Kora playing with her sister.

"Inuyasha, it's time for dinner."

"Ok." Inuyasha said not taking his eyes off of Kora.

Sesshomaru smiled. "What do you think of Kora?" He asked slyly.

Inuyasha smiled. "She's amazing. She's sweet, kind and beautiful. She's got the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and she's got an amazing smile."

Sesshomaru smirked. "It sounds as if you've already fallen for her Inuyasha."

Inuyasha blushed. "Y-you don't know what you're talkin about! I just met the girl! There's no way I can be in love with her already!"

Sesshomaru chuckled. "You keep telling yourself that little brother. I said the same thing about Kagome the first time I saw her. It's true what they say about love at first sight. Remember that Inuyasha." He said before going back to the castle.

"Yassa puppy carry me?" Keiko asked running over to him.

"How many times do I gotta tell ya kid? I ain't no puppy!" He huffed.

"Pwease carry me Yassa puppy?" She asked pouting.

He sighed. "Come on."

"Yay! Yassa puppy gonna carry me!" Keiko said giggling as he lifted her up.

"You know, you're the first man she's taken a liking to since our father died." Kora said smiling.

"Yassa puppy can be my daddy now!" Keiko said bouncing in his arms.

Inuyasha blushed. "Keh. I can't be your dad kid."

"Uh huh! Sissy is my mommy now, so Yassa can be my daddy!" Keiko said making both Inuyasha and Kora blush.

"Keiko! You shouldn't say such things!" Kora said.

"But you told me you liked Yassa puppy. You say him was cute!" Keiko protested.

"Keiko!" Kora said blushing.

"Y-you really said that?" Inuyasha asked looking at Kora in shock. Sure he was attracted to her, but never in his wildest dreams did he think she'd feel the same.

"Well...maybe...I sorta said that." She said blushing before she ran off to the castle.

"Wait! Kora!" He yelled after her.

Keiko giggled. "Will Yassa puppy kiss Kora and love her now?"

Inuyasha smiled. "Maybe someday kid."
