Chapter 1
It was a hot night in New Orleans and the tourists were finally going into their hotels for the night. In a house that was a block from Bourbon Street you could hear loud music playing inside as the night grew more deadly.
Kagome was dancing around in her kitchen getting things ready for a dinner for her and her friends. As she was starting to get her wok warmed up for her famous beef stir-fry she heard her door bell ring.
Quickly she opened the top drawer where she kept her utensil… and her weapons. She pulled out a dangerous looking scimitar type dagger and she edged towards her front door.
"Who is it," she asked not looking through the peephole just in case the person wasn't who she though it was.
"It's me," said a familiar voice, "Inuyasha. I've brought a few of our friends with me."
"If you are who you say you are, then tell me… what was the first yet last thing that my father gave me for Christmas before he left?"
"The first yet last thing that your father gave you was a gigantic teddy bear that you named Fozzie Bear, and that was only because you were crazy about the muppets."
Kagome blushed when she heard a few of the guys that was with Inuyasha laugh.
"Ok, the doors unlocked," she said walking towards the kitchen, "come in with caution Acheron."
The door opened to reveal Inuyasha with 9 others behind him.
"Why should I enter with Caution," Said Acheron smiling broadly, "I think it's cute that you named a Teddy Bear after the best damn Muppet in the world."
Kagome looked back at the group that had became her family after she fled Tokyo Japan. Inuyasha, who was sitting on her couch munching on some of the chips that she left in a bowl on the table for her guests to munch on (and of course he was surfing the channels on her tv), he had long silver hair and amber eyes that, for some odd reason, got all the girls to drop everything they were doing and pay attention to him. He was wearing his favorite ripped up jeans and his disturbed t-shirt, which she was actually surprised that also didn't have holes in it as well.
Acheron, who sat on her love seat with Simi, his little demon daughter, was definitely a looker what with his shoulder length what-ever-color-to-dye-it-this-week hair (currently magenta) and swirling mercury eyes he could get any woman he wanted, if it wasn't for Simi of course. He currently wore his biker outfit that he normally wore for daimon hunting. She had her black and red hair up in pig tails; she was trying to get Inuyasha to stop changing the channels so she could at least see what was on. She was wearing her usual, her red mini skirt with her gothic red and black plaid tank-top.
Now there was the blonde duo Julian of Macedon and Kyrian of Thrace, one had black eyes (Kyrian) while the other had the deepest blue that you had ever seen (Julian, they were currently tryin to get Nick and Wulf to go with them to the game room to play on the Xbox that I had set up in there. Kagome smiled because what they didn't know was that she had bought more games this week, including the new halo that they were talking so much about. They looked like normal guys (except nick who wore a bad Hawaiian shirt) the all had jeans and a black t-shirt.
Talon sat down next to Inuyasha to try to get the remote from him, now he was a blonde guy too, with brown eyes that would melt your heart. He had on his all leather (and yes it was real) outfit. For some reason he wouldn't put on denim.
Zarek stood against the wall watching everyone with his black haired head shaking back and forth in disgust. He was only there for Kagome. When he had come down he was getting into fights with the other Dark Hunters and she was the only person to calm him down. No-one knows for sure but they all though it was because Kagome remind him of some one. He had on ripped up jeans with a t-shirt that said something in a different language.
"Hey Kagome," Said a long black haired woman as she closed the front door, "Do you need any help in the kitchen?"
"Yes actually," said Kagome, "I was needing someone to help with preparing the veggies for the stir fry. I kinda forgot to do that earlier. Thanks Tabitha."
"No problem girl," Tabitha said in her southern accent, "I'm glad I could be of some help."
Now Tabitha was one of 9 girls, she was one of the people that hunts down all the things that goes bump in the night, well along with the dark hunters of course.
Now so that no-one gets confused. Acheron, Kyrian, Zarek, Talon, and Wulf are Dark hunters. Inuyasha and Nick are both squires, and Simi is… well she is just Simi. Kagome didn't know how to describe her other than that. Julian was a Demi god. Apparently his Father was Human and his Mother was Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
As Kagome Started cooking the beef she heard the doorbell ring again.
"Can someone get that," she said.
"Yea," said Nick going towards the door.
Kagome couldn't hear the question asked. That was the rule of her house, no-one comes in without answering a secret question, and it has to change each time or else the Daimons would be able to come in.
"Hey sis," said her little brother Souta, who was coming in arm and arm with… oh hell no.
"Um, Souta," asked Kagome crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yes sis?"
"Why are you arm in arm with Shippo?"
Shippo and Souta looked at each other then at her.
"You didn't tell her did you," said Shippo shaking his head.
"Tell me what? I want some explanations soon," said Kagome going wide eyed.
"Kagome…um," said Souta, "I'm…um... Shippo and I are… Damn it sis we're gay!"
Kagome's jaw dropped when she heard this.
Inuyasha came in went to the fridge and said, "Finally! I thought that you guys would never come out of that damn closet."
"You… you knew," asked Kagome who was in shock.
"Well yea," he said grabbing a can of beer out of it and closing the door, "it was kind of obvious that they were. I mean hell they have been inseparable for the past month and a half."
Kagome just couldn't believe it, "Does mom know?"
"Not yet," said Souta going around her and stirring the beef, "I can't tell her over the phone. I also can't afford a plane ticket to Japan anytime soon what with the prices being so high."
Kagome looked between them. Well if her brother was happy then she was too.
"Hey," said Shippo crossing his arms and staring at Kagome, "have you heard from Sango or Miroku lately?"
"Of course I haven't," said Kagome taking over stirring the beef and getting it ready for the veggies which Tabitha had gotten finished cutting up (she was sitting in the living room with everyone else drinking a beer, "You know I haven't been able to what with driving everyone around and getting their DRY-CLEANING FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT TO TORTURE ME!"
She heard a loud laugh from in the living room coming from the one and only Acheron after she yelled what she did pointedly towards him.
"Well aren't you in for a surprise," he said taking a drink from… was that a wine cooler?
"What do you mean," asked a confused Kagome as she heard the doorbell ring again, "hm that's funny…. I thought everyone had showed up. Souta watch the food will ya?"
"Sure sis."
She got to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's Sango and Miro…."
They didn't even have to fully say Miroku's name when Kagome flung the door open to reveal a Long hair Woman and a Guy with short black hair that was in a ponytail in the back.
"SANGO! MIROKU!"
Kagome just grabbed them up in a big hug that would normally scare the recipient.
"Wow," said Miroku as they both hugged her back, "guess you missed us huh?"
"Hell yes I did!" said Kagome dragging them both in.
After the introductions were made she got the dinner done and served.
After everyone ate and almost everyone left (except Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha) Kagome cleaned up everything that was dirtied and took them to the kitchen to put them in the sink for later.
"So how long are you two staying in the states," asked Kagome when she sat down on her couch.
"Well," said Sango looking at her husband, "We thought that we would move down here actually."
"Really?"
"Yea," said Miroku, "we already bought a place nearby actually. The movers are going to unload everything tomorrow"
"That is so awesome," said Kagome, "I am so glad you guys chose to move down here. We are going to have fun."
"Hey Kagome," said Inuyasha, "can I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute?"
"Yea sure," she said following Inuyasha to the kitchen, "You guys can stay here for the night if you want. It's kind of dangerous down here at night."
"Oh, that's ok," Said Sango, "We already brought our sleeping stuff from Japan on the flight."
"Well either way," Said Kagome, "It's still dangerous at night so stay right there until I get back. K?"
Kagome walked into the kitchen to find Inuyasha walking back and forth from the sink to her fridge.
"What's up Inuyasha," asked Kagome opening her utensil/weapon drawer to get her pistol ready to give to Sango and Miroku.
"Well, I'm kinda nervous."
"Why is that," the clip clicked in to place.
"Well," he said sitting on her counter and looking down, "My brother is going to move down here to."
"Sesshomaru is?"
"Yea," said Inuyasha running his hand through his hair, "but the thing is…. He's a… well…"
Kagome got finished putting together the gun and looked at Inuyasha, "what's wrong? He isn't a vampire is he?"
"Well, kinda."
"Shit," said Kagome feeling like a hurricane just came through her mind, "he's a damn Dark Hunter, isn't he?"
"Yea," He said getting down and looking at her, "now Kagome, my brother, he is kind of… hell how should I put this? Um… he's from the Feudal Era. And He was… and probably still is Lord of the western Lands in Japan."
"Well hell," said Kagome, "that isn't bad at all."
"Here is where you're going to kill me… or Acheron per say…"
"What, what am I going to kill you for?"
"Acheron told him that he could stay with you until he gets all the way settled in."
