WOW. I came home and there are like 100 messages waiting for me. Well if you like so much just review some moer and gets another chapter!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Time:
"Uhh not to be rude but aren't you a bit young to be a mother?" Emmett asked curiously.
A melodious laugh was his answer.
Now:
Kagome gracefully walked towards her sons with the infant in her arms. The vampires instantly stiffened. This woman….her scent. It was so tantalizing. Even better then Bella's. That's when they noticed something to other occupants in the room, not including them, barely had any scents. But if they concentrated hard enough…..oh my. It was divine. Not as good as Kagome's but simply divine.
Hakudoshis lips curled into a smirk.
"Mother," he purred "So great you could join us."
Emmett stared dumbfounded.
"No seriously," he began again "Aren't you a bit young to be having children?"
"Not at all," she responded sitting down then gesturing for them to sit as well. "Now if you'd be so kind as to introduce yourselves…"
"Oh!" Alice said happily fighting off the temptation "I'm Alice Cullen, and this is Emmett and Rosalie, they're married. And finally Jasper!"
"I see," Kagome said with a kind smile. Inside her head she thought of how great this worked to her advantage.
"Well as you know I'm Kagome, this is Shippou, Kanna, Hakudoshi and this little babe of mine here is Akago," she said gesturing to each of the sitting occupants
"What a cute baby!" Alice squealed
Kagome's mind brightened. Akago could do some….investigating. And no one would suspect.
"Would you like to hold him?" she asked holding the baby out to Alice.
"May I?" she asked politely
Hakudoshi had a knowing smirk on his face that had Emmett staring at him very intently.
Cradling the babe Alice cooed.
"He's adorable!" she exclaimed
"When the little bastard wants to be," Shippou mumbled but the vampires heard. Rosalie's head snapped up and she narrowed her eyes. Shippou just gave her a grin and a wink.
Akago smiled in his sleep.
"Awwww," Alice cooed.
They stayed for a while and chatted. About simple topics and such. Before they knew it, it was time to go.
"We are so sorry Kagome!" Alice exclaimed "You just moved in and we held you up all this time."
"It's not a problem Alice," Shippou answered eyes twinkling "but please…. do visit soon."
Jasper narrowed his eyes. That double meaning…..
After the Cullens had left Kagome slammed the door and sighed.
"That was unexpected." she commented with a smile.
"Heh," Shippou said with a proud smile "Hakudoshi really screwed up with his 'macho' act. I though, fixed it AND got us closer to our targets. Aren't I amazing?"
He struck a pose and Kagome giggled while Hakudoshi glared. Kanna let a ghost of a smile pass her lips.
"I think we should wait until tomorrow to have Akago tell us what he found," Kanna stated softly "And anyways you have 'school' tomorrow mother…"
Kagome groaned.
"Gods why do you hate me so?" she mumbled before dragging herself up the stairs.
Before hitting the sack Kagome stuck her blue tooth in her ear.
"Dante," she addressed Sesshomaru. In the outside world she had always addressed him as such. Either a habit or just a happening it was always like this.
"Hn?"
She rolled her eyes.
"Wonderful news my lord" she mocked
"Woman…" he growled out dangerously
She sighed this time. A tired sigh.
"Sesshomaru, be happy. We have the targets under radar. You can even say we've befriended them. But now I need you to tell Kouga that Hakudoshi will be visiting his pack tomorrow and Kanna will be visiting Ayames. How's it going on getting those two mated?" She questioned
"Impossible. That fool Koga is much to stubborn," Sesshomaru stated "Though the news you have given me shall suffice. This Sesshomaru shall pass on your message to the two wolves. But this Sesshomaru questions as to why they are to be visited."
Kagome got under the covers of her bed and moved around until she was comfortable.
"Because," she began flipping through her book that was kept next to her white marble nightstand "They can investigate and get some information. I want everything done properly you know how it its with me."
"Hn." he stated "Then this Sesshomaru bids you farewell."
"I love you to," she said softly with a somewhat mocking tone.
Snuggling into the blanket she closed her eyes ready to sleep.
- At 7:30 in the morning -
"Oh shit!" was heard throughout the house.
Kanna calmly sipped her tea while Hakudoshi read his book. Shippou was munching on his cereal and Akago was asleep in his cradle upstairs.
"Oomph!"
Hakudoshi raised an eyebrow.
"Mother as much as I love you I must say that we need to have a serious talk," he stated
Kagome got a fake wide eyed watery look.
"Are you breaking up with me?" she said in fake sadness
Shippou spit his milk out in a spray and began laughing. Hakudoshi even chuckled while Kanna giggled.
"Sadly," he stated in fake anguish "It is impossible for one to breakup with ones mother. No I wanted to say you need to get up earlier. The time zones have changed."
Sending a small mock glare at her son she stuffed a piece of toast in her mouth. Her outfit was a mid thigh jean skit with knee high round toed pump white boots with stiletto heels. She had a beaded white halter top with blue beads and a simple baby blue jacket. Her hair was up in a ponytail and the only jewelry she had was the Skihon no Tama on a small silver chain, making almost a choker.
" Hakmph dmph phmu!" he said through her toast.
"Mom we don't speak….toastaniese," Shippou stated with a snicker. The boys were in their pajama bottoms while Kanna wore a long silk nightgown.
Swallowing the toast she chugged down a glass of coffee.
"Hot!," she whined before rushing out. Grabbing her messenger bag on the way she rushed out the door.
"Love you!" she called
Jumping into her car she threw her back into the passenger seat. Revving the engine she slammed the car into reverse before peeling out.
Shippou walked out the door and leaned against the frame.
"Think we should tell her that her clock was set for Japanese time and she about…..an hour or two early?" she questioned
They looked at each other.
"Nah." they agreed.
- With the Cullens -
Alice was in deep thought. Why hadn't she seen these new comers in forks? Granted they were the average humans but still…..
And most of all why were there scents so divine? Especially that Kagomes…. It could make even the Volturi go mad.
Shaking her head she turned towards Edward who was deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about Edward?" she questioned
His beautiful marble face showed no emotion. His topaz eyes were calm and deep in thought even though they were speeding down the highway, Rosalie's car right next to them with Emmett and Jasper inside.
"Bella," he responded softly "she won't give up on wanting to be immortal…I don't understand why she doesn't just live her normal life. She won't be happy as a vampire I know it. And I can't let her go through so much pain. Even after she met the Volturi she wants to become one." he explained
They arrived at school and waited for the rest of the students to file in. Slowly the parking lot filled up. After a while Bella had joined the two.
"Hey Alice, Edward," she greeted.
"Hey Bella," Alice said back and Edward gave a nod of acknowledgment.
More and more students piled in until there was maybe half an hour before class.
Kagome scowled darkly when she arrived at the school. She had been three hours early! Oh she was NOT cooking any of their favourite foods tonight. Pouting she parked under a tree and flipped her phone.
"Hakudoshi speaking," a smooth velvet voice said
"Oh Hakudoshi," Kagome said in a sickly sweet tone "Would you care to tell me as to WHY no one told me I was THREE hours early?"
There was a squeak in the background along with several crashes and curses. She waited leaning back into the leather seat with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh hey mom!," Shippou said "What's that I can't krshsk I'm sorry probably bad srhshsh oh wow some really bad signaling call you later love you bye!"
Snapping her phone shut she sighed. Tossing it in the back of her hoodless car she leaned back in the leather seat and looked towards the tree. There where a few places where she could see a bit of sun wafting through. Smiling she closed her eyes as the breeze blew. Unconsciously sending her scent across the small town.
From where Edward was standing Bella felt him stiffen next to her. His hands were clenched tightly together. The same apparently went for Alice.
"Edward?" she questioned "What's wrong?"
She turned to see a group staring intently on a blue car. It was hoodless and from where she could see the driver was leaning back in the car looking up.
"Who's that?" she questioned
"I don't believe it," Emmett said shocked "It's Kagome!"
"Kagome?" Edward growled "Kagome who?"
Giving a yawn Kagome opened the door to her car. Grabbing her messenger bag she slipped it over her shoulders and began walking towards the office where she would get her information on the new school.
Gracefully walking through the open crowd she hummed. Bella watched with slight envy with the rest of the other girls. The guys were a bit dazed.
Passing the Cullens her eye momentarily caught Alice's eye. The other girl gave a smile which she returned.
There eyes were black yesterday…she mused still walking…but now there a topaz colour. Interesting…
Walking into the office she saw a woman working at the desk.
"Hello," she greeted softly
The woman's head snapped up and she smiled.
"Why you must be Kagomes Higurashi," she said trying to pronounce her name as best as she could. "I hope I pronounced that right."
"You did," she said with a smile
"Well here is a map and your schedule," she stated "Get this signed by all your teachers and bring it back to me at the end of the day ok?"
"Yes ma'am," she said politely before looking over at her schedule. First period, biology.
Sighing she found the biology room. Quickly knocking on the door she waited for it to open.
Everyone in the glass watched as their teacher grumbled about being disturbed. Opening the door they saw Kagome.
"Sorry for interrupting you class sir," she said politely
"It's ok," he said
Smiling brightly that left him dazed she walked in.
"You can sit with Bella Swan and Edward Cullen," he instructed pointing to the two seated individuals "But first write your name on the board and tell us yourself."
Taking a piece of chalk she wrote her name on the board. The cursive looked like a horses mane through the wind. Graceful.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi," she explained "I came from Japan for certain purposes. I like many things, to many to be listed and I doubt your teacher would be to happy if I took up all the time. So if you'd like to know anything about me just ask."
Mike raised his hand.
"Where do you live?" he questioned
She turned her head to the side.
"Well if you know about that new one that was built just outside of Forks then that's where."
Turning towards Bella and Edward she walked forward then sat in her seat. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed throughout the period that Edward had moved as far away from her as possible and was clutching the desk so tightly it was about to break.
The biology was easy. It was a review of diffusion an osmosis. Leaning back she studied her surroundings. This Bella person seemed to be interesting it was as if she knew about the Cullens being vampires. She had her work cut out for her.
The bell rang and Kagome glanced down at her schedule. Physical Education. Perfect. From what she heard Alice and Edward were in the class along with Bella.
Gathering her books she stopped as a shadow loomed over her. Looking up she saw a girl and a boy.
"Hi," the girl introduced "I'm Jessica and this is Mike."
"Hi," Kagome said brightly
"So what do you have for your next class Kagome?," Jessica said the foreign name
"Gym," she replied as they walked down the hall.
"Cool," Mike said "We have that to."
Smiling Kagome noticed there anxious looks.
"Go ahead," she said startling them " I know you want to ask me something."
Jessica looked sheepish.
"Well we were wondering how you could afford such a nice house," she explained "Because we didn't see any parents yesterday and…."
"It's because of my grandpa," she lied "He and my friend Dante thought it be best if I went aboard for while to see other countries and their living."
Jessica raised an eyebrow.
"So is this Dante person someone special?" she asked with a smile implying something
Kagome blushed. Not because of how she implied Sesshomaru but of how funny it would be if he actually heard her. Jessica though misinterpreted the blush and just smiled.
Kagome groaned suddenly.
"I can't participate in a skirt," she complained
"Oh it's ok," Jessica said "I have extra shorts and a t-shirt. We're about the same size so it'll fit."
"Thanks," she replied "Hey can I ask you something? Are you friends with Bella Swan?"
Jessica stiffened.
"Was," she said heatedly "Ever since she started dating Edward Cullen all she does is hang out with that family. It's as if we're not good enough anymore or something. She just ditched us for her perfect boyfriend and his family."
Kagome frowned.
"That's not right," she said.
Jessica nodded and they went into the changing room. Quickly changing both girls happily chatted away until it was time to get started Jessica's clothes were a bit tight for Kagome but it was fine with the miko.
"Ok folks," the gym teacher instructed "Today we'll be playing tennis."
There were two teams. Edward, Bella, Alice and some others were on a team while Kagome and her new friends were on the other. There were matches between the two and whoever won the most won the 'tournament' so to speak.
It was double teams. Jessica and Kagome verse Angela and Bella. Bouncing the ball a couple times Kagome got ready. Throwing it up high she hit it hard. Bella was barely able to shoot it back before falling over but she did. Jessica shot it right back and Angela back handed it. Kagome whacked it back and this time they missed. Let the games begin.
In the end Kagome and Jessica won by a landslide. There were cheers for the two. Kagome watched as Edward and Alice play. Carefully watching she noticed they glided almost.
Interesting…she thought
"Last Match!" their teacher yelled "Kagome and Jessica verse Alice and Edward.!"
There were cheers and shouts. Kagome locked eyes with Edward. Their stare never wavered as she threw up the ball it hit it with as much force as she could. He hit it right back and for the next little while it went like that. Back and forth and back and forth. It was as if they were the only two playing. Jessica and Alice wisely stayed out of the match.
Finally Edward managed to land one an Kagome just as the bell rung. Giving a happy smile she turned around and marched towards Jessica who looked excited.
"Wow Kagome!" she exclaimed handing the girl a towel "That was amazing! Not many people can keep up the Cullens."
Kagomes smiled.
"To tell you the truth I think I was lucky," she said "He can hit hard."
Opening her hand she showed the slight bruise forming. Jessica scowled.
"That was mean of him!" she exclaimed
"It's fine Jess," she said "it'll heal. Anyway after school I was wondering if you'd like to come shopping with me. The decorators though they did a good job forgot some things."
"Sure!" the girl bubbled happy to shop with her new friend.
It was lunch time so they headed towards the cafeteria. Grabbing a pop with a large slice of pizza Kagome sat with Jessica and her group. She was introduced to everyone and after evading all the moves the guys made on her they started talking.
"No I think blue curtains would be better if it's for a baby boys room lavender would make it to girly," Jessica suggested
Angela agreed. Kagome had invited her and the other girl, who's name she forgot to come shopping with them. They were surprised when the other girl had agreed whole heartedly.
"Yes but Ak-" Kagome was cut off when her phone rang.
Flipping it open she saw it was Sesshomaru.
"Dante," she greeted and instantly the whole table quieted down.
Where are you? he questioned
"School where else?"
Have you found out more information? he asked
"Yep," she said taking a bite from her pizza "So how was your day?"
Interesting….he trailed off
She raised an eyebrow
"Care to elaborate?" she asked
I threw Kouga out of this Sesshomaru's forty story building.
Choking on her pizza her eyes bugged out before she threw her head back and laughed. It was a sweet sound.
"You did what?" she gasped still laughing
Threw him out of the window. The boy was being impossible. He had suggested rather falling out of the building then mate Ayame. This Sesshomaru granted his wish.
She laughed again.
"Is he ok?" she asked
He shall live….
"Well look I have to go," she said
Hn.
He hung up.
"So Kagomes who was that?" Jessica questioned waggling her eyebrows as she leaned against the table.
"Dante," she answered with a laugh "Called to check up on me. Really sweet. Hilarious thing he told me."
"Wanna tell us?" she asked
"Ok well Dante and I were trying to set up one of his friends with one of mine. They are like perfect for each other but the guy is really denying his love for her. See the story is REALLY sweet.," she explained "When they were young he saved her from a bunch of….thugs."
"Oh wow," Angela commented
"Well anyways," Kagomes said back to her story "It so happened that on that night it was the night of the lunar rainbow. The lunar rainbow is absolutely beautiful! It's when at night a beautiful rainbow shines across the sky and moon. Breathtaking. Well anyways, on that night he made a promise to her. That when they were older he would lover her, cherish her and one day marry her."
"Oh my god!" Jessica and some of the rest squealed "That is SOOOOOOOOOO romantic! Tell us more! Tell us more!"
Kagome laughed again.
"Well it just so happened that after they had grown up he had met me. And forgot all about his promise. I felt like shit I'm telling you. I wasn't even interested but he seemed to have an infatuation with me. One that I couldn't return," she explained with a sigh.
"But it's not your fault!" Jessica cried
"Relax Jess," Kagomes told her "Well anyways now it's up to Dante to bring them back together. For good this time. I'm already planning the wedding."
Some of the girls sighed and got dreamy looks. Ones that Kagome remembered to easily.
Across the cafeteria Edward Cullen and his family had listened intently to the story.
"A lunar rainbow?" Rosalie asked incredulous " I have never heard of such thing."
"Maybe we can ask Carlisle," Jasper suggested softly
"Or maybe Edward can take a peek in her mind," Emmett suggested
Edward raised an eyebrow.
"What happened to only using our powers when needed," he asked
"That hasn't stopped you before Edward," Bella commented with a grin.
Sighing the young vampire concentrated. Searching out the minds in the cafeteria he found the one he was looking for.
Bella watched adoringly as her boyfriend concentrated. All of the sudden he grabbed his head and his eyes flew open.
"Damn," he hissed "That hurt!"
"Edward!" Alice exclaimed "What happened."
"I tried looking into her mind," he explained "But I couldn't so I tried harder. I got a mental shock to the brain."
He turned around to look at Kagome who was surprisingly staring at him with hard eyes. He read her message loud and clear.
Stay out. Or else.
