Practice

Kagome waved goodbye to a group of giggling children as they returned to their homes in the village. She watched them momentarily, and Kohaku sighed next to her.

“Wow, Kagome, you’re very good with children,” he said.

“Well, she has to be,” Shippou said next to them while they walked back to Kaede’s hut to join the others. “She basically has to take care of two children, including myself. Inuyasha alone is like taking care of twins,” he added, referring to the hanyou’s two personalities.

“Hey, runt! I heard that,” Inuyasha yelled from his branch. He swooped down and marched toward him, and Kagome laughed at their exchange while Kohaku looked on with interest.

As the bickering increased between the hanyou and the fox, Kagome automatically chimed in to soothe the fight, just as she always did.

“Now, you two; don’t ruin this peaceful afternoon,” Kagome said.

“So, Shippou was right,” Kohaku observed, and Miroku and his sister chuckled behind him.

“You haven’t been around us long enough, Kohaku. Kagome keeps the peace between Inuyasha and Shippou,” Sango said. Her smile widened. “Consider her the mother of the group.”

Kagome cheeks turned pink, but Miroku had to add to her embarrassment. “Indeed, Sango. It’s almost as if she’s practicing for the future.” His gaze shifted to Inuyasha and then back to Kagome, his eyes full of implications.

Kagome and Inuyasha stared at each other, and as they were put on the spot by their friends, they awkwardly looked away and blushed.

Inuyasha made an irritated noise and responded, “She isn’t practicing, so stop those thoughts right now, Monk.” His eyes met Kagome’s, who was eager for his explanation. His gruff voice softened, and he concluded, “She doesn’t need to.”

Kagome smiled at him hopefully.
