Chapter 1 – Greetings

"Are you sure it was a good idea to surprise them?" Bella asked dubiously as they neared the house.

"Of course it was," Alice said breezily. "Trust me, I'm psychic."

From inside the house came the… err… merry sounds of life.

"Inuyasha, I will make you some ramen when I have fed the twins!"

"But I'm hungry!"

"Well, so are they, and they're younger then you."

"Are you saying they're more important than me?!"

"They can't feed themselves; you can."

"But it never tastes the same."

"Well, heat up some of the home made stuff! You know how to use the microwave!"

"Feh."

"INUYASHA, TAKE THE BLOODY FORK OUT OF THE MICROWAVE! METAL IS BAD IN MICROWAVES!"

"You could have told me! Quit whining wench!"

"I did tell you! Now feed your son."

Thud.

"Waaaaaaaaa…"

"Inuyasha, did you drop that baby food on purpose?!"

"Yes Kagome, that's exactly what I did! What do you think I am, stupid?!"

"Do you really want me to answer that?!"

"Kagome, your son is hungry!"

"He's your son too!"

"Really? Because most of the time you treat me like one of the kids!"

"That's because you have the MENTALITY of a child!"

"Hey!"

"Waaaaaaaaa…"

"Oh, Kikyo, baby, please be quiet, please."

"It's their nap time, and they still haven't eaten."

"THAT'S BECAUSE THEIR ARSE OF A FATHER WAS TOO BUSY STUFFING HIS OWN GOB TO WORRY ABOUT FEEDING HIS CHILDREN!"

"Hey! I was feeding Inutaisho!"

"For three sodding seconds!"

"I have never known you to swear so much, Kagome. What's gotten into you?"

"I had children with the love of my life."

"I love you too."

"Waaaaaaa…"

"Fine, you don't wanna eat? Mummy's had enough anyway. Nap time!"

"What about Inutaisho? You're not gonna leave him down here?!"

"You have arms don't you? Carry him up yourself!"

"Hush little baby,

Don't say a word.

Papa's gonna buy you

A mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird don't sing,

Papa's gonna buy you

A diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns to brass,

Papa's gonna buy you

A looking glass,

And if that looking glass gets broke,

Papa's gonna buy you

A billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,

Papa's gonna buy you

A cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little twins in town."

"See, Bella?" Alice said smugly. "Perfect timing."

"We're walking in on a domestic."

"Very true."

"Maybe we should wait," suggested Edward.

"Oh, we're gonna wait," grinned Alice.

"Fine, I'LL clean the kitchen, I'LL make lunch, then I'LL go shopping, then I'LL go fight some demons, then I'LL change a nappy, then I'LL go see how Shippo's getting on in his exams, then I'LL help Kaede in the village, then I'LL see how Kohaku's settling in, then I'LL make sure Miroku's keeping his perverted hands to himself, then I'LL go and check on the house in the Feudal Era, the I'LL go and see how Koga and Ayame and the pups are doing, then I'LL check on Rin because she's getting to that age now, then I'LL take some flowers to Kikyo's grave, then I'LL bath the twins, then I'LL call the plummer because the downstairs toilet's acting up, then I'LL call the fire service because you tried to make ramen and blew up the house, then I'LL call Mom and see how they're getting on in Tokyo, then I'LL clean the well house, then I'LL send the Christmas cards, then I'LL take the car for it's MOT, then I'LL clean the house, then I'LL water the vegetables, then I'LL return the library books, and be home in time so I can make dinner!"

"Christmas isn't for another two months."

"IF I DO IT NOW THEN I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT LATER!"

"Alright, gees! What's gotten you so worked up?!"

"What's gotten me so worked up? I'll tell you what's gotten me so worked up! I feel like a piece of bloody furniture! All the time, it's either you, or the twins, or Shippo, or Miroku, or Sango, or Kohaku, or Kaede, or Mom, or Jii-chan, or Souta, or even the sodding vacuum cleaner!"

There was a pause.

"Kagome, what do you want?"

"I… I… I want… you know what, I want a new vacuum cleaner."

There was the sound of laughter.

"Anything for you, my love," came Inuyasha's happy voice. "You want a new vacuum cleaner? I'll get you a new vacuum cleaner."

"Thanks, Inu. I'm sorry."

"Nah, s'alright. You're cute when you're angry."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Okay, now, now!" hissed Alice.

"Surprise!" yelled the Cullens.

Kagome and Inuyasha turned. And stared.

Then Kagome shrieked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming!" and bounded towards them. "Oh Kami, guys, I haven't seen you in ages! I missed you so much!"

"How are the twins?"

"Are they walking?"

"Are they talking?"

"Plans for any more?"

"How are things in Forks?"

"How's Inuyasha adapting to being a father?"

"Are you two getting married?"

"No plans for Bella and Edward's engagement?"

"How's Charlie?"

"What's the shopping like around here?"

"Yo," Emmett called cheerfully to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha waved a hand in reply.

"The girls might be a while," said Edward with a smile. "Shall we leave them to it?"

"Yeah. There's a patch in the garden we can sit while they… squeal."

"So, how have things been for you?"

Inuyasha shrugged, staring fixatedly at a piece of grass. "Not bad, I guess. Kagome was so pissed when Kikyo's first word was Daddy! But Inutaisho followed with Mommy, so I guess I shouldn't be too exuberant. Mind you, Kikyo was first."

"Who do they take after most? They must have changed a lot since we last saw them," Jasper said, with a smile.

"Well, at first we thought they mainly took after Kagome. Kikyo has her hair and my eyes., whereas Inutaisho has my hair and Kagome's eyes. We figured they were probably mostly human, but then they grew ears."

Carlisle looked excited. "Ears? Like yours? Is that a family trait, like the thing that symbolises they are of the Inu clan?"

Inuyasha looked at him strangely. "Yeah. What-"

"I've been researching. Would you believe you made it into legend?"

Inuyasha threw back his head, laughing. "Yep. The tale of the hanyou and the Shikon No Tama. Kagome read it to me once. Who'da thunk it? unfortunately my brother made it in as well."

"Yes. We met him, as I recall."

"That's the bugger. Speaking of which, Kagome and I have an idea that we'd like to try out. But first off… how opposed are you to the concept of time travel?"
