Kitsune Tails

“Inu yasha you BAKA!" Kagome shouted and stomped away in the direction of the well, only going a few steps before running smack into a very determined dog demon.

"I said you’re staying and that’s final!” All of a sudden Kagome got a wicked grin on her face......... he knew what was coming, and there was no way to stop it. Inu yasha gulped and took a step back.

“You wouldn't ...........K-Kagome?" 'Here it comes' he thought to himself.

''SIT! sit sit sit sit sit!" as soon as those words left her mouth he found himself kissing the dirt that had just been below his feet. 'Gods that hurts' he thought, silently cursing the rosary around his neck.

"Serves you right you overgrown poodle!” he heard Kagome as she jumped through the well.

'An over grown poodle? What's a poodle? Was that an insult?' These thoughts going through his head he barley noticed the small kitsune perched on his right shoulder.

"Oi! Dog boy what did you do this time?" Inu yasha found his mere presence annoying.

"Shut up and get off of me!'' he yelled in agitation. CHOMP

''Owwww!!'' howled the annoyed dog demon after the young fox bit his ear. Shippo dashed away as fast as his feet could carry him, laughing all the way. Inu yasha tried to follow him only to find that he was still being held to the ground.
"Your so DEAD Shippo!'' but his shouts were in vain for the kitsune was too far away hear his threats. He shouted and shouted but that was about all he could do.

*******
"Stupid Baka” Kagome mumbled as she climbed out of the well "What part of tests doesn't he understand?" Kagome sighed and frowned a bit when she thought about it. Maybe she had been a little harsh.
"What am I thinking of course he deserved it!" Kagome's heart sank a little at these words, she knew inside that he truly didn't deserve it. After all she was the one who called him a poodle. She laughed a little at this thought.

*******
"Stupid wench" Inu yasha growled as he sat up in a tree over looking the well.
“I hope she never returns" the hard expression on his face softened a bit as he thought about what would happen if Kagome never came back. He knew his heart would ache terribly. If she wouldn't come back he would make her. This in mind he leapt from the tree into the well.
"Oi dog boy! Inu yasha! Wait up!" Shippo yelled as he scrambled from the base of the tree just in time to grab onto Inu yasha's kimono.

*******
"Tadaima! Mom, Grandpa, Sota? Where is every one?" Kagome yelled as she walked through her empty home dripping water on the floor. It had been raining when she got back so she had to make a dash to the house (getting soaked in the process).

“Looks like their not here" Kagome said to herself with a sigh, as she wandered into the kitchen to get something to eat. There was a note on the refrigerator:


Dear Kagome, sorry were not here we have gone to the beach for the weekend, hope your doing well there should be plenty of food in the fridge,
Love Mom.


"Oh great the first time I'm home in three weeks and no ones even here!" Kagome sighed and starred out the window. She could barley see it through the rain, but there it was, the small shrine that contained the bone eaters well.

“I wonder if it’s raining there too....." BOOM! A bolt of lightening lit up the sky creating an earth shattering sound.

"Kyaa!" screamed the frightened Kagome who was now hiding under the table.

"Gods I hate lightening!"
*******
"That sounded like Kagome!" Inu yasha shouted before running toward the house, the young kitsune still clinging for dear life to his kimono. Inu yasha leapt onto the tree outside of Kagome's room and slipped through the open window. His keen nose told him that her family was not home.

"Urg..." mumbled Shippo as he detached himself from Inu yasha's kimono and began dizzily wandering about the room.

*******
Kagome found herself in a cold sweat. Not only was the lightening starting to get to her, but she was sure she heard a 'thump' from above ... in her room. Yes, she was positive she was no longer alone.

"What am I doing! I am the Guardian of the Shikon no Tama, I face great demons every day! I refuse to hide under this table like some child!” After that little pep talk she had given herself she found that she had gotten to her feet (after bumping her head) , picked up the nearest object (which happened to be a large frying pan) and had walked out of the kitchen.
*******
"Quite!” Inu yasha hissed at the little kitsune.

“Sorry it sit slipped, honest" Shippo apologized

"You'll be the one to slip next you little brat!" Inu yasha said as he starred down at a pile of toppled over text books.

"I said sorry shesh" replied
the young fox while still starring at the floor. Inu yasha bared his fangs as he picked up an unfamiliar scent mixed with another scent, this one of blood ......Kagome's blood.

*******
"Ouch" exclaimed Kagome as she stepped on a piece of glass from a shattered vase.
'Wonder what caused that..............probably Buyo she thought as she carefully avoided the other pieces, frying pan still clutched in her hand. Without warning the power went out leaving Kagome blind.
‘Oh great, its times like this I wish I was still in the past.' Her mind wandering she barely noticed the door upstairs creek open, once again reminding her that she was not the house's only occupant.

*******
"Damn these things are noisy" Inu yasha cursed the door under his breath. Inu yasha's ears twitched with alertness as he stepped into the dark hallway. Though he tried, he could not prevent the slight squeaking caused by his footsteps.
'One, two' Kagome counted the footsteps, preparing to strike when they reached the bottom.

'Four, five.........' she counted to her self. Her heart was beating so loud that she feared they would hear it as they reached the last step.

'Oh crap...' she thought as she peered around the corner to see a dark figure looming at the bottom of the stair well. A rather tall dark figure.

********
A clueless Inu yasha stood staring into the darkness. He could smell her, her soft scent filled his nose to the point that he felt light headed. Now if only he could see her.

********
Kagome raised the large frying pan, bracing herself telling herself that it’s now or never. Adrenaline rushing, she jumped around the corner and brought the pan down upon the intruders head creating a loud thud.

'HE'S STILL STANDING!?' Kagome gasped at the realization that the impact had barley even fazed the intruder.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kagome screamed before running in the opposite direction of the one standing before her. (Which happened to be into the living room). She leapt straight over the couch, on to the coffee table and made a mad dash into the kitchen.

"Ow ow ow! Damn it!" mumbled Inu yasha as he chased the frightened Kagome.

"Stupid girl!”
Inu yasha was getting sick of this game of cat and mouse. Normally he would have yelled at her, but the way she was screaming her head off he seriously doubted she would hear if he did. His anger building he didn't notice the large puddle of water on the floor until it was to late.

" Shit!" was the only thing he managed to say before crashing to the ground (along with the table he had used to try and stable himself). He quickly got back on his feet and began the chase again.

Kagome ran from the kitchen into the pantry in such a hurry that she didn't realize her mistake until she made it. She had trapped herself, there was only one door leading out of this room and it was currently blocked by her pursuer. Well, if she couldn't run she might as well defend herself, and so she did as she began to grab numerous cans of food and throwing them at the figure.

"Ow ow ow!" It cursed as she continued to throw cans at it. Lightning flashed from outside illuminating the room long enough for Kagome to catch a glimpse of her pursuer. He had long white hair, a red kimono, a katana at his waist, and and ....DOG EARS?!

"Inu yasha?" Kagome said barley above a whisper.

"KAGOME!" growled the angry dog demon.

'Oh boy I really did it this time' she thought as she waited for the yelling that would inevitably come after such actions, and she couldn't deny that she probably deserved the words that would come.

"Grrr..." was about all Inu yasha could say before being interrupted by a frantic
kitsune cub, as he rushed to Kagomes side. Kagome sat down to embrace the small child.

"Kagome Sama I heard all the crashing from upstairs what happened?! Oh my gods you’re bleeding! Inu yasha what did you do?!" Shippo stated, his eyes turning from Kagome to stair accusingly at Inu yasha.

"I didn’t do anything!" yelled Inu yasha defensively.

"It's okay Shippo Chan, it wasn’t Inu yasha, I cut myself on a piece of glass, honest" Kagome tried to put on a brave face for the small kitsune, but she couldn't help but wince, as she was reminded of her injury. This of course was not left unnoticed by the ever watchful dog demon, who was at her side in a instant to offer his help. Kagome brushed his hand away insisting that it was only a little cut and that she could handle it in her own. She knew of course that it was more than just a little cut and it was sure to get infected if she didn’t clean it out as soon as possible. She got her bearings straight and tried to stand only to slip on a can of soup and fall right into Inu yasha’s waiting arms.

"Stupid human" he muttered as he scooped Kagome into his arms.

"Where to?" he asked. Kagome blushed at her current position and answered by pointing to her room and nervously muttering "bedroom". Inu yasha turned and began toward the stairs, Shippo right on his heels.

"Oi! Wait for me!" he said as he got to his feet and tripped over several cans attempting to keep up with the others.

*******

"Brrr" Kagome said as Inu yasha set her down on her bed.

"Inu yasha could you close the window please?" Kagome asked as sweetly as she could. Inu yasha grunted but did as he was asked. Kagome had tried to get up again only to be stopped once again by Inu yasha. Seeing as there was no way he would let her out of the bed she gave in, and told him were the first aid kit was. Just as Inu yasha left Shippo entered the room gasping for air, and with the last of his strength crawled onto the bed and into Kagomes loving arms.

"Awe, poor Shippo Chan" Kagome said affectionately as she began to stroke his soft tail.

The electricity came back on.


"Kagome sama you have too many stairs" sighed the little fox.
Without warning Buyo jumped right on Shippos back and sunk his claws in. The poor kitsune yipped in pain before leaping into the air and falling face first onto the floor.

"BUYO!" exclaimed Kagome as the fat cat proceeded on crawling into her lap and began to purr.

"Why you jealous little devil!"

*******

"Shoo cat" Inu yasha growled at the over affectionate Buyo who refused to leave him alone. Inu yasha pummeled through the small closet in the bathroom until he came across a small white box with a red cross on it.

"Gotcha" he said as he gave the little box a triumphant smile. He was so startled by the loud crashes from down the hall he almost dropped the small box on top on the annoying cat at his feet. The realization of where the crashes had come from only added to his worries.

"Kagome” he muttered as he ran from the room still carrying the small box, with the fat cat in pursuit.

"What happened?" Inu yasha exclaimed as he flung open the bedroom door, his focus immediately on Kagome and ignoring all other activity’s going on in the room.

"Inu yasha do something quick!" screamed a frantic Kagome. It was then that he began to take in the actions taking place in the room. His attention soon focused on the small kitsune and the fat cat in the center of the room facing off with one another. In a flash the hanyou had grabbed Shippo by his tail and like wise with Buyo only he held her by the gruff of her neck. Wait a minute! Her?

“Hey Kagome Buyo is a boy right?" Inu yasha asked.

“Uh yeah ...why do you ask?" stated a confused Kagome.

“And how many cats do you have?" Inu yasha continued without answering Kagomes question.

" One, just Buyo" Kagome responded ignoring the fact that he still hadn’t answered her question.

"Meow" the Buyo that had been with Inu yasha, tired of being ignored mad itself known.

“Two Buyos?!" Kagome said with a puzzled look on her face. Inu yasha tossed Shippo to Kagome and hoisted the other cat up. Shippo began to rub his abused tail, while Inu yasha began to sniff both cats. He soon dropped the male Buyo, who seemed to be insulted at the notion of being sniffed, and bared his canine fangs at the female.

"For a cat ..... You reek of kitsune" Inu yasha growled. The imposter began to thrash violently, making it difficult to hold onto. She scratched and bit Inu yasha until he let go. She fell to the ground and with a small pop turned into the most adorable little female kitsune. She wore a little pink kimono with matching pink bows that supported her blonde pig tails. She looked up at Inu yasha with her big blue eyes filled with innocence, while her blonde kitsune tail waved back and forward. She got to her feet while still keeping eye contact with Inu yasha. Once standing she didn't even come to his knee.

"And you smell like a wet dog" she said and stuck her tongue out to taunt the dog demon. Inu yasha cracked his knuckles.

"Why you little..."

"Awwwwww" Inu yasha was cut of in mid sentence by Kagome as she limped from her bed to the little vixen. Kagome sat down and placed the little kitsune in her lap and immediately began to pet her tail. Inu yasha was at a loss of words Kagome was soon followed by Shippo who also seemed to be interested in the vixen. The small cub looked up at Kagome with tears in her eyes.

"I’m sorry for breaking the vase it was an accident" she added a cute little sniffle at the end.

"Awe that’s okay" Kagome said affectionately. She held the little fox in her arms and began to scratch her behind her ears. The little kitsune appreciated this and decided to show it by purring. Kagome just had to giggle at that.

“Say what’s your name?" Kagome asked. The little kitsune stopped purring and tensed up at the simple question.

“Momma called me Chibi” she said while gazing at another part of the room "but she’s dead now" she finished.
Tears began to form in her eyes and slowly they rolled down her face. Kagome immediately regretted asking the question, she clutched the cub closer to her chest and looked down at her in pity. She tried to comfort her by rocking her in her arms.

"Your just like me" Shippo stated "My mommy and daddy died to, but that’s ok cause Kagomes my mom know" he finished.
Chibi wiped her eyes and stared up at Kagome.

"Really?" Kagome answered with a simple nod and placed Chibi on the ground next to her and Shippo.

"Do you think you could be my mommy too?"
Chibi looked up at Kagome with eager eyes. Kagome was a little taken back from the question but again nodded assuring. Chibi's face brightened immensely, as she launched herself into Kagomes waiting arms. Shippo began bouncing around the room squealing in delight that he had a baby sister, and he no longer had to depend on Inu yasha to play with him when Kagome was in her time. Inu yasha who had witnessed all of this felt a little sorry for the little vixen but there was no way he’d ever admit to it. The next few hours involved hot chocolate, scary stories about demons (most of which were) and games of tag and hide and go seek.

“Kagome mama could you please tell us about the evil frog demon lord and the princess again please, pretty please?" Chibi asked while wearing her most adorable childish pouting face. Kagome just couldn’t resist.

"All right one more time" Shippo and Chibi rejoiced by bouncing around the room. Inu yasha just 'feh'ed' at them but deep down he to wanted to hear the story of one of their adventures told by Kagome.

"Once there was a young girl who traveled with a mighty dog hanyou in search of shards of a magical jewel which the girl had happened to break" Kagome began, the small fox’s focus was completely on her and nothing else as they curled up in her lap. During the story both of the kitsunes fell asleep. Inu yasha waited until the story was over before fetching the first aid kit and bandaging Kagomes wound.

Kagome was a bit surprised at the gentleness he used to take care of her, he was so different in this time when he didn’t have to be alert for danger all the time, when he could just relax and be himself. Kagome thought about this while he carefully finished , it was then that she realized that she had been staring as she turned away he turned to look at her with his golden eyes, those eyes that were usually filled with rage and annoyance, seemed to be content for once.

Embarrassed at being caught she quickly looked away as a deep red blush crept across her cheeks.
"Is something wrong?" Inu yasha asked though he already knew the answer, she felt guilty about being caught staring. He himself had often found himself staring at her on those frequent nights when sleep refused to come. He recalled the way the moon light seemed to dance upon her gentle features. He had to smile at her situation; he knew if he had been caught he too would have been embarrassed.

"Nothing" Kagome responded.

'Your lying again' a little voice reminded her in the back of her head

' Your not telling him how you feel' that little voice had been very vocal the last couple of weeks.

'You love him but your to afraid that he doesn’t feel the same way to tell him'

*I do not !* another voice shouted in her head. These 'arguments' had been happening very frequently, to frequently in Kagomes opinion.

Kagome was desperate to change the subject. She stared at the two slumbering children in her arms.

“Their so adorable" she stated.

"Looks can be deceiving" was all Inu yasha said in response. As if on que, Chibi sat
up in Kagomes arms and with her eyes still shut, began to crawl towards Inu yasha. She crawled into his lap and circled a few times before settling down in his lap and fell asleep again. Inu yasha was a bit startled by the vixen’s forwardness, but to Kagomes surprise he didn’t push her away. Shippo soon awoke to find his new companion no longer by his side, he soon spotted her in Inu yasha's lap and crawled out of Kagomes arms and into Inu yasha's. Kagomes mouth just hung open in shock.

"Well then" she said with a slight smile. She shrugged her shoulders and crawled over to Inu yasha.

" If you can’t beat them join them" she said before lying her head on Inu yasha's shoulder and drifting of to sleep herself. Now it was Inu yasha's turn to blush. Inu yasha observed the scene before him he had his best friend by his side and her children in his arms.

‘Is that all you see her as, your friend?' a nagging voice asked.

*Of course I do, this Kagome were talking about*

' Your lying and you know it you baka'

*Kagome? She is just my friend isn’t she? Is it possible that she could be more than that?*

' Oh look I think dumb dumb is getting it for once' the voice said to Inu yasha's annoyance.

*Look just who or what are you?*

'You idiot I’m your conscience' it replied. Inu yasha's thoughts were interrupted by Chibi's movements.

"Daddy" she mumbled as sleep reclaimed her.

'DADDY?' Inu yasha tensed at those words. Then when he thought about it, it did make sense. After all if Kagome was the mom, then of course he would be the father figure right? Better him than that lecherous monk. That’s all the world needs, more perverts. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t even notice his vision blurring and his consciousness leaving him, before he knew it he was in a deep sleep dreaming of the ones he loved, past, present, and future.
