Chapter 1: Welcome Home

Kagome looked out of the window as Tokyo passed, awe filling her brown orbs. Hearing a chuckle behind her Kagome turned to see her friends; Sango, Miroku, and her boyfriend Inuyasha were smiling at her. "What?" Kagome said; confused to why they were smiling at her. "You look so excited, like a kid in a candy shop." Inuyasha said, the smile on his face growing bigger. "So?" Kagome said as she narrowed her chocolate orbs at her boyfriend, "What's wrong with that?" Laughing Inuyasha pulled Kagome into his arms, after a couple minutes of trying to get out of his iron grip Kagome gave up. Sighing Kagome relaxed against Inuyasha, still excited to see her new house.

About an hour later the limo started to down, looking out of the window Kagome gasped at what she saw. In front of her was a huge house…no a huge mansion. "This is where you guys live?!" Kagome exclaimed as the limo drove up the long driveway. Giggling Sango said, "Yes, and this is where you live too." "This is where I live…" Kagome whispered as the limo came to a stop. As the gang got out of the limo Kagome looked at the house next to theirs. "Is that Sesshomaru's?" She said to no one in particular. "Yeah," Inuyasha said, "That's where him and his girlfriend Rin live."

"How old is Rin?" Kagome asked as they grabbed their suitcases. "She's only a year older then us, when she was younger her parents were killed and she ran away. Sesshomaru found her one day and took her in; ever since she has been with us." Inuyasha said as he lugged the suitcases up the driveway. "Aw! That's so sweet!" Kagome said as she started to walk to the house. "Where do your parents live?" she asked Sango and Miroku as they followed Inuyasha. "Mines live right down the street, and I heard some one was moving in next door, maybe that's your mom." Sango said as she rummaged thru her purse for the keys.

"I lived right next to Sesshomaru, two houses down." Miroku said as he held his key in front of Sango's face before putting it into the lock. Opening the door Miroku dropped his luggage to the ground; throwing his hands up he said, "Home sweet home! How much I have missed you!" Giggling the girls walked passed him, as Inuyasha came in and shut the door Sango said, "Well Kagome, welcome to your new home." Smiling as she looked around Kagome said, "Wow this place is soo beautiful." "Yeah," Sango said laughing, "Well, leave your bags down here, Miroku and Inuyasha will bring them to our rooms why I show you the house."

Miroku and Inuyasha whined as they heard of their little part. "Come on Sango," they both whined, "Do we have to?!" Sending a glare their way Sango said "Yes you do, Kagome is new here and she need to get familiar with the house, now stop being such lazy asses and bring them up to our rooms!" Muttering something around the lines of "You don't have to be so bossy," Inuyasha and Miroku walked off with the luggage in their hands.

"Well now!" Sango said as she twirled around to face Kagome, "We will start here then go up!" Kagome laughed at her sister-like friend's antics, "Haha ok, show me the way!" Laughing Sango said, "Well as you can see this is the foyer." In front of Kagome was a huge foyer; in the middle was a table with pictures of Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. The ceiling was in a shape of an ark with a beautiful sheer red crystal chandelier hanging from the middle. "Follow me," Sango said as she grabbed Kagome's hand and lead her to the right to an oak wood door. Opening the door Sango said, "This is the game room, Inuyasha and Miroku had it set up when some of our friends bet that we couldn't get every game system in the world."

Kagome's brown eyes widened as she saw the game room, it really did have every game system! "Holy shit…" Kagome whispered as she looked around, the walls and ceiling was black, but it had little goldish-yellow stars dotting the ceiling; giving the room a glow. There was everything in there. A huge flat screen covering half of the wall on one side; every game system Kagome could think of was under it on a self. On the other side were all the arcade games, Dance Dance Revolution, Pac-Man, Pinball, Racing games, etc. "Wow," Kagome said Sango dragged her out of the room.

Walking out of the room they took a right and walked down a hallway till reached two rooms, turning to the left Sango said as "This is the living room; the stairs to the upper levels are right over there." She pointed to where everything was as she explained. The living room was really nice, its maroon walls popped with the dark blue furniture. There was a huge tv in front of the furniture, between the couch, the love seat, and the chairs was a dark wood table with remote littered all over it. To the back wall was the entrée way to the stairs.

Turning Kagome saw the arch way leading to the other room, "I'm guessing that's the kitchen." Kagome said as she walked towards it. It was a really nice kitchen; it had a stainless steel stove on one side with the sink and a huge marble counter next to it. The fridge was in the corner and in the middle a marble island. There was a pantry next to the fridge and cabinets littered the walls over the counters and stove.

"Come on Kagome, let's look at the rest of the house." Sango said as she pulled Kagome up the stairs. Making it to the second floor Sango smirked and said, "This is where Inuyasha's and Miroku's rooms are. Since the idiots are probably in the gym we'll take a peek in their rooms." Leading Kagome down the hall Sango stopped at the oak door on their left. "This is Miroku's room," Sango said as she open the door, turning on the light Kagome got to see the whole room. Miroku's room was huge; its walls were black with purple insignias drawn neatly across the walls.

In the middle of the room was Miroku's bed, it was king size with dark purple sheets with black borders. He had black and dark purple pillows laying neatly on it. On the other side of the room was a plasma tv with a playstation 3 under it and a couch in front of it with a small table in the middle. To the right of the entertainment center was the bathroom. It had a shower and a tub next to it, his closet was in the bathroom behind a white door. To the right of the closest was the toilet in its own separate small room. "Wow his room is actually clean." Kagome said as they started to walk out of the room.

"Yeah, it's only because I scared the living shit out of them to keep them clean." Sango said as she continued to walk down the hall to another door at the end of it. It was an oak door just like Miroku's. Stopping at the door Sango turned to Kagome with a smirk and said, "You ready to see Inuyasha's room?" Smiling Kagome said, "Let me," as she passed Sango and opened the door. Kagome smiled as she looked around the room, the walls were red and black, having the opposite color designs on the walls. There were gold outlines around one particular drawing next to his bed of a dragon.

In the middle of the room was Inuyasha's bed; it was a king sized bed with red sheets with black and gold borders; the red, black, and gold pillows decorated the front of his bed. To the right of the bed was a couple of guitars, to the left was a plasma tv and a couch, with a playstation 3 and a small table. Next to his guitars was the door that leads to his bathroom. In his bathroom he had a big tub and a shower, at the corner of the bathroom was the separate door to the toilet. To the left of the bed was Inuyasha's closet. "Wow, this place is beautiful…" Kagome said as she looked around. "Yeah," Sango said, "I've always loved Inuyasha's room. Well time to go to the next floor!" Grabbing Kagome's hand Sango pulled her out of the room; leaving her little time to close Inuyasha's door.

Reaching another arch way a couple feet away from Inuyasha's room was another staircase. As the two walked up the stair case Sango said, "This floor is where your room and my room are on; right now your room is blank until we redo it later today." Reaching the 3rd floor Sango stopped at a dark cherry wood door on her right. Before she opened the door Sango said, "This will be your room," As she opened the door Kagome saw a huge white room. "This is really big." Kagome said as she looked at it. "Yeah, but after we finish looking at the house, we'll go get some furniture and other stuff to make this room awesome!" Sango exclaimed as they left Kagome's room. "Now it's time for my room!" Sango squealed as she ran down the hall to a dark cherry wood door on the left. Opening the door Kagome looked into Sango's room.

Her walls were pink and green, two pink walls facing each other while the green was between them. On the walls were white designs of music notes, flowing across the whole room until they ended where Sango's bed was. Her bed was in the left corner of the room. Her bed was king sized with white sheets that had pink and green music notes all over it. Her pillows were pink and green with her initials on them; in the middle were two big pillows. One the shape of a huge pink 'S' and the other was a big green music note.

Next to her bed was doors to her balcony, the doors were covered with sheer pink and green curtains, giving the room a glow.

To the right corner of the room was Sango's desk, it had her pink and green laptop on it with many papers scattered around the desk. There were also pictures of Sango and her family on the desk. In the other right corner was Sango's entertainment center; she had some pink and green beanbags with flat screen hanging from the wall. By her bed was her closet, opening the double doors Kagome gasped, "This is huge!" Kagome said as she looked at Sango's walk in closet. ¾ of the room was covered with a colorful arrangement of clothes, even though Kagome could see that pink and green showed up a lot. On the back wall was a huge shoe rack holding over 200 different pairs of shoes, from sneakers to flats.

"I want one of those!" Kagome squealed as she saw the rack, "Girl I already have one on hold at Ikea for you, I think you have more shoes then me.!" Sango said as she stood at the doors of her closet. Turning around Kagome saw a huge jewelry box by the double doors. On the other side of the room between Sango's desk and entertainment center was her bathroom. It was purple and really nice; her tub was in the corner of the room while her shower was standing elegantly next to it. The smaller room with her toilet was next to the huge counter littered with Sango's hair and make up products. A big mirror lined the wall above the counter; it was bordered with music notes and butterflies.

Walking out of Sango's room Kagome began to get excited, "We get to go see the dance room!" Laughing at her friend's antics Sango said, "Not yet chica, there's one more thing on this floor you need to see." Walking down the hall they stopped at a wooden door, taking out a key Sango said, "this is our sauna, I'll make you a key because when the door is shut it locks." As she opened it Kagome saw the sauna, it was a medium sized square room with a pillar of burning stones in the middle; creating a fog in the room. Shutting the door Sango wiped the sweat from her forehead. Turning to her friend with a big smile Sango said, "Now it's time to see the dance room."

Walking up the stairs Kagome continued to get excited; as they reached the top of the stairs Kagome saw a door. As Sango was about to open the door she said, "This whole floor is the dance room so it's really big." Opening the door Kagome gasped when Sango turned on the light, the room was ENORMOUS!!! "Holy shit…" Kagome whispered as she looked around the room, "I must of died because this is heaven." Laughing at her sister-like best friend Sango said, "Or pretty damn close to it," Kagome's chocolate orbs were filled with awe as she looked at the room.

The room was like an enormous rectangle. On one of the long sides was a full length mirror reaching each end of the room. On the opposite side was a bar that reached each end of the room too. The room's walls were blue and pink with all different dance shoes and music noted decorating it. It had polished Marley floors, (A.N it's a type of dance floor if you didn't know.) and to the right corner was a huge stereo system. Walking towards it Sango said, "This thing is hooked up thru the whole floor, Inuyasha even bought a 180GB ipod for this room to store all the dance music in the world plus we can bring our ipods up here too."

As Sango turned on the stereo classical ballet music filled the room, "This ipod had every thing from classical ballet to hip hop." Giggling Kagome walked around the room. "I think this is my favorite room." Kagome exclaimed as she twirled around, getting a feel of the floor. Turning off the music Sango said, "Let's go look at the gym and tell the guys we're heading to Ikea, and maybe if we're lucky we can get Rin to come with us!" Walking to the arch way at the other side of the room Sango and Kagome started to walk up the stairs, as the got closer to the gym they could here music playing loudly. "When Inuyasha bought the stereo and ipod in the dance room he bought one for the gym too." Sango said as she opened the door. Hollering over the music Sango yelled, "Inuyasha! Miroku! Turn that crap down!"

Not even a second later the music turned down, coming around the corner Inuyasha wiped his sweat off with a towel as he walked towards them. "How do you like the house babe?" Inuyasha asked as he gave Kagome a chaste kiss on the lips; a smile coming to his face as he drew away. "I love it! Especially the dance room!" Kagome squealed as she clasped her hands together; her brown orbs sparkling with excitement. "I see she likes the house." Miroku said as he came up to them, giving Sango a kiss. Kagome looked around the room as Sango told the guys about her and Kagome going to Ikea. The gym was the same size as the dance room with mirrors on all four walls; every working out machine Kagome has ever seen was in here, even things she has never heard of. In the corner of the room was a huge stereo just like the one downstairs. Kagome had to admit, this was the best gym she had ever seen.

"Well," Sango said, "It's time for me and Kags to go to Ikea and get her stuff! We're going to finish her room tonight, if you need us call us!" Grabbing Kagome's hand they walked over to the other side of the room, reaching there Sango hit a button. An elevator door opened as Sango pushed her and Kagome in it. "I didn't know you guys had an elevator." "Yup," Sango said as she sent a text to Rin, "It's awesome because it's attached to every floor so when you feeling lazy you don't have to walk up the steps." As a beep filled the air Sango looked down at her phone, her face lit up when she read the text. "Yay!!! Rin can come and she said she can't wait to me you!" Grabbing Kagome's hand for the hundredth time that day Sango pulled her out of the house to a black mustang waiting at the end of the driveway.

"That's Rin!" Sango exclaimed as she pulled Kagome into the car. Getting in the front seat Sango hugged the girl in the driver's seat, "OMG Rin!!! How are you?!" Laughing the brown hair girl said in a sweet voice, "I'm doing good, but I missed you!" "Well I want you to meet Kagome!" Sango said as she pointed to her in the back seat. As Rin turned Kagome could see what she fully looked like. She had shoulder length brown hair with a small piece of it in a small ponytail at the side of her head. Her light brown eyes held happiness and kindness, she had on an orange and yellow tank top with white capri's, on her feet she had orange, yellow, and white flats. "Well nice to meet you Kagome!" Rin exclaimed as she gave her a hug, "I can't wait to get to know you!"

Kagome smiled at the girl's excitement, as Rin turned around and started to drive she said "Where are we going?" "To Ikea to get stuff for Kagome's new room!" Sango said. Laughing the three girls went off to Ikea.

After spending hours at Ikea and other furniture stores, Rin, Kagome, and Sango where pulling in to the driveway. "OMG Kagome I can't wait to finish your room! It's going to look sooooo good!" Sango said as Rin stopped the car. Getting out the girls walked to the trailer that held Kagome's furniture, flipping open her phone Kagome called Inuyasha, "Moshi moshi the sexiest hanyou speaking." Rolling her eyes Kagome said, "My 'sexy hanyou' get your butt down here with Miroku and Sesshomaru and help us bring this to my room, we have a lot to do tonight."

Grumbling Inuyasha mumbled, "I don't even get a hello or an I love you anymore," as he hung up. Laughing Rin said, "Haha Kags, so how did you do it?" "Do what?" Kagome asked her new friend, confused. "How did you bring Inuyasha back, I've never seen him so happy since before Kikyo." (A.N Inu is like a little bro to Rin and she hated Kikyo so that's the reason she said 'before' Kikyo not 'since' Kikyo.) Kagome laughed, "I really don't know, I'm just glad you guys got him back." "All thanks to you Kags," Sango said as the boys walked out of the house.

After they brought all the new stuff to Kagome's room the six got started; three hours and many breaks later the room was finally done. After they went downstairs to get something to eat, they come back up, Kagome gasped when she saw the final effect on the room, it was beautiful. The walls were a really bright blue and pinkish-purple (Just like Sango's.). In silver there were stars, flowers, and dance shoes decorating them. The stars and flowers created a river like flow all the way around the room until it reached and decorated the two walls surrounding Kagome's bed. It was in the right corner of the room against the wall. It was king sized; its sheets were white with different color stars and splatter paint all over it. She had white pillows with splatter paint and stars on them. She also had pink and blue pillows lining the wall on the long side of her bed. In the center of all her pillows were three huge pillows.

One was a huge pink heart that head 'Angel' written on it in white cursive, another was a huge blue 'K' and the last was the biggest; it was a huge rainbow flower. On the other side of her room was her desk, it had her blue laptop on it with many pictures of her family and friends from Kyoto. To the back of the room was double doors that lead to Kagome's balcony; sheer blue and silver curtains covered the glass doors. In the corner across from her desk was her entertainment center; there was a huge flat screen with two star decorated bean bags on the floor in front of it with some magazines and the remote in between the chairs. Between her bed and entertainment center was her walk in closet. It's was just like Sango's, it had double doors and was decorated with Kagome's colorful wardrobe, on the back wall was a huge shoe rack that even put Sango's to shame.

Right next to the double doors to Kagome's closest was her jewelry box, it wasn't on the inside of the closet like Sango's but it was on the outside. Straight across the room from her closest was her bathroom. It was just like Sango's except the walls were lime green and her mirror was bordered with flowers and dance shoes. Kagome's whole bed room was decorated with pictures from camp, but the picture of all of them by the tree when they first found it was in a frame next to her bed. (Chapter 16 of Summer of Chances if you can't remember.) All four of her walls had pictures of the gang all over them. Looking at their work Kagome hugged everyone. (I based Kags room off of mine, like the color of the walls and the bed, sheets, and pillows but the rest is stuff I wish my room was like. Lol ^-^)

"Thank you guys so much!!! I love it!" Kagome said as hugged them all tight. Laughing Sango said with a smile on her face, "You deserve it Kags," "Yeah," Miroku and Inuyasha repeated as they looked at Kagome. Looking at Rin, Sesshomaru saw that she was confused. Whispering in his girlfriend ear he said, "I'll explain when we get home." Nodding Rin smiled, hugging everyone the couple left for their house. After they left Sango yawned and said, "Well, it's late and I'm going to bed, we have a lot to do before school starts!" Hugging Kagome and Inuyasha she kissed Miroku gently before going to her room next door.

"Night guys, see ya in the morning." Miroku said as he hugged Kagome and gave Inuyasha a 'man hug'. After he left the room Inuyasha looked around and said, "Wow, your room came out really good." Smiling Kagome whispered "Yeah," As he continued to look around he suddenly smelled salt. Whipping his head towards Kagome he instantly pulled her into his arms. Running his claws thru her hair he said, "What's wrong love? Why are you crying?"

Kagome nuzzled her head into Inuyasha's chest, "its….its just…I never was able to be happy like this…daddy's death always hung over my shoulders." Holding her tightly against him Inuyasha said, "Kagome, you of all people deserve this more then anyone, I'm glad I helped this. I will do anything to help you be a teenager and not worry about anything. Naraku is dead now and he's not coming back, you avenged your father's death. Your free love, you can finally be a teenager."

Kagome held to Inuyasha tightly, "Are you sure?" She mumbled into his shirt. Laying his cheek on the top of her head Inuyasha said, "Of course." Picking her up Inuyasha gently cradled her in one arm while he pulled down Kagome's covers with the other. Moving the pillows over to the side of the bed against the wall he gently laid Kagome down in the bed. Tucking her in he handed her the remote. After kissing her on the lips Kagome whispered, "You're such a good boyfriend." Kissing her forehead he whispered, "That's all because of you."

Smiling down at her Inuyasha said, "I love you." looking up at him with love clouding her eyes she whispered "I love you too." As Inuyasha was about to close the door he swore he heard Kagome whisper something before she closed her eyes. As he walked downstairs those three words hung in his head, "Thank you Inuyasha."

Kagome woke up early the next morning; opening her double doors she walked out onto her balcony. As she leaned on the railing she looked at the rising sun, looking down she looked at the backyard. There was a huge Olympic sized pool with tables and chairs around it. Walking back into her room Kagome walked to her closet. Opening the oak wood double doors she grabbed grey sweats, a green tank top, some white Nikes, and a light grey jacket. After she got dress she headed out of the house for a run.

The grass was shiny and damp with the morning dew as Kagome made her way down the driveway. Turning on her ipod hooked to her arm Kagome started to run, she ran down the street until she reached a cul-de-sac. Only seeing woods in front of her she turned around and ran back to the house; running up the driveway she went to the back yard and ran into the trees, hoping to find somewhere to call her own.

After running for 30 minutes Kagome found herself slowing down in a clearing. Looking around she smiled at the view. It was peaceful and quiet, never disturbed by people before. She plopped on the ground, sticking her legs out she let out a breath. Even with Inuyasha's comforting words Kagome still had a nagging filling in her gut. Pulling her legs to her chest she wrapped her arms around them and stuck her head on her arms. As she closed her eyes she thought, "When did I ever deserve this?!" pulling her legs closer she didn't move as a tear fell to the ground; staining the floor.

An hour later Kagome got up, wiping the tears from her eyes she started to walk towards the house. As she made it into the house she went into the kitchen and made breakfast. Just as she finished Sango and Miroku walked into the room, pushing her thoughts to the back of her mind she smiled brightly at her friends. "Good morning Sango, Miroku." Placing their plates in front of them Kagome clean the kitchen and was about to wash the dishes when Sango said, "Are you ok Kagome?" Kagome turned around and smiled at her sister like best friend. "I'm fine; I'm just a little tired." After washing the dishes Kagome went upstairs to the one place she knew she could truly relax; the dance room.

Waking up Inuyasha walked downstairs to find Sango and Miroku eating, "Mornin' guys, doesn't it feel good to be home?" "Mornin' Yash," the two said and nodded at their friend. "Where's Kags?" Inuyasha said as he sat down with his breakfast. "She went back to her room saying she was tired." Miroku said as he finished his food, "But she seemed troubled and when Sango asked her what's wrong she just said she was tired." Inuyasha watched his friends, searching them with his golden eyes. "I'll check on her later." Looking down he ate his food, wondering if Kagome was ok.

Kagome silently made her way upstairs to the dance room; shutting the door behind her she locked it. Taking her shoes and socks off she gently placed them by the door, as she walked towards the stereo she took off her jacket, throwing it to the side as she hooked her ipod to the stereo. Turning on the music she walked to the center of the floor, sitting down she sat in a straddle. She closed her eyes as the music filled the room, relaxing her immediately. As she stretched the tension slowly left her body, standing up she walked over to her ipod and put on "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence.

Putting the song on a 5 second delay she walked into the middle of the dance floor, she rolled her shoulders as the music started to fill the room. Dancing, Kagome let her soul out as the music pored thru the speakers. She danced and danced to try to relieve the anguish in her heart that wouldn't seem to go away. As the music started to fade she wrapped her arms around her self and bent her knees, she didn't move until she heard someone's soft clapping. Turning her head she saw Inuyasha leaning against the door in a wife beater and some black basketball shorts.

Smiling at her Inuyasha said, "That was really beautiful Kags," Kagome looked towards the ground, hoping he didn't know the reason she came up with the dance. "How did you get in here," Kagome said as she continued to look at the floor, "I locked the door." "There are two doors to this room and since my brother owns the house I have the skeleton key to it." Inuyasha said as he held up the key. As Kagome looked up at him his sunset eyes widened, her beautiful brown orbs were swimming with tears. He quickly walked over to her, wrapping her shaking body in his arms.

As he ran one of his clawed hands thru her hair the other arm held her tight to him. Her tiny hands clutched the fabric of his wife beater as her body was wrecked with tears. "It's going to be ok baby." Inuyasha whispered in a soothing tone, hoping to calm his crying girlfriend. "No, it n-not. I don't deserve this! If it weren't for me you guys wouldn't have been in danger when we fought Naraku! Daddy wouldn't be dead if he wasn't so tired from the fight with Naraku when he was saving me! Maybe if I wasn't born this world would be so much better…"

Inuyasha instantly pushed Kagome away and held her from arm's length, searching her chocolate orbs; "What ever made you think that?!" Inuyasha said, trying to keep his tone down, "I NEVER want you to say or THINK that ever again Kagome! I don't know what made you think that this world would be better without you because it wouldn't. Love, you need to stop thinking that everything is your fault cause its not. Me, Miroku, and Sango got hurt because WE chose to fight, you didn't force us. Your father died to protect you and your family NOT because of you. Your way too beautiful to let this bring you down Kags, your heart is what brought me back from the hell I was in. Kagome, you are the best thing that ever happened to me and you deserve everything and more and I will do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING in my power to give you what you want and make you happy."

Ramming into his chest Kagome continued to cry as Inuyasha held her tightly against his chest. "Inuyasha!" Kagome sobbed into his chest, "You ARE the best thing that has happened to me and I don't need anything to be happy," Looking up at his sunset orbs Kagome smiled and said, "As long as I have you I'm happy." Stretching her neck up she gently kissed him, slowly she wrapped her arms around his neck, not wanting this moment to end. The arms around her slim waist tightened slightly, as if to let her know he didn't want it to end either.

Breaking the kiss Kagome laid her head on his chest; closing her eyes as she listened to his steady heartbeat. It assured her that he was real and not a figment of her imagination. Wrapping her arms around his torso she sighed contently. A slow rumble erupted from Inuyasha's chest, indicating that he was feeling the same. The sound was soothing as it vibrated his chest. Smiling Kagome snuggled into him more, knowing he would never leave her. "Thank you Inuyasha." Kagome whispered as the pain that clouded her heart disappeared completely. Knowing that he defiantly heard it this time Inuyasha smiled and held her tighter to him. Placing his cheek on the top of her head he whispered, "No, Thank you Kagome."

Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha were watching tv in the living when Kagome walked into the room. "How's Shippo doing?" Sango asked as Kagome flopped on the couch next to Inuyasha. "Well mom said him and Souta get along wonderfully, and they all get along with Kohaku. Her and Shippo are coming over later to see us, mom says there's something she wants to talk to us about, something Shippo has been calling her." Kagome said as she tried to think what Shippo could be calling her mother." "Is he calling her mom?" Inuyasha said as he looked at Kagome.

"I don't know, but she sure seemed happy about it." "Well I guess we'll find out when they get here." Miroku said as he got up to get a drink. Turning to the tv the gang watched tv for about an hour until the door bell rang. "I'll get it," Sango said as she walked towards the door. Opening the door Sango smiled and said, "Hello Mrs. Higurashi!" Smiling warmly at Sango Mrs. Higurashi said "Hello Sango," as a little orange blur passed thru Mrs. Higurashi's legs and darted towards the living room.

The two women followed the blur as it ran towards its intended target; Mrs. Higurashi had a weird smile on her face as Kagome caught the orange fuzz ball. "Mommy! I missed you! You and daddy!" Shippo yelled as he hugged Kagome before jumping on Inuyasha and hugging him. Kagome just stared as Shippo jumped back on her lap, snuggling into her open arms. Closing her arms around him Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other before turning to Mrs. Higurashi with confused looks. "Does this have to do with what Shippo has been calling you?" Kagome asked her mother. Smiling Mrs. Higurashi nodded and said, "Welcome home."
