Due to the amazing number of reviews (I honestly didn't think there would be this much) I have decided to continue, but please bear with me if I take a while to update because Year 12 is being an ass with Exams and since its basically my finals, its kind of vital that I study, but I promise to be quicker in updates when they're done.

Act 2:

"Kagome? Where are you?" a male voice called out.

Grey clouds loomed over the feudal era as heavy rain continued to fall. Crashing thunder echoed in the area and the muddy ground making it slippery for a certain half demon to walk and even jumping between trees seemed hard.

Among different parts of the forest a monk, demon slayer, cat demon and a fox demon searched, calling and shouting in a never-ending cycle of "Kagome!"

Safe under one of the low branches of a tree was a small figure of a woman of the age of 19, hugging herself, tears intermixing with the rain. She had no idea of what was going on. She gripped herself harder, under confusion, causing her arms to bleed as claws pierced her skin.

"Kagome!" Her, now, sharp hearing could hear her name being called numerous of times, but never once did she answer back. Instead, she tried to cover herself more and let out a small whimper, which was covered by the sound of pattering rain and thunder.

It was when the rain lightened considerably when the half dog demon saw his miko under a large branch. He ran towards her, almost slipping, but desperation would not have it.

"Kagome!" he exclaimed running towards the shaking figure. He tried to pull her up, but when she looked at him, he let go in shock and took a step back like she was acid. "Kagome… why are you…"

"Why are you a demon?"

Kagome yawned as she sat in the office of Kalos. The performance she had participated in had finished about fifteen minutes ago. Not only were she and Kalos in the room, but the irritating Leon guy was with her as well.

Kagome crossed her arms. No matter, she could still discuss things with Kalos. "I should introduce myself properly, shouldn't I," Kagome said more to herself than Kalos. She looked at him and bowed lightly. "My name is Kagome Taisho-Higurashi, the representative of Taisho Tayuki Co-operation."

Kalos nodded. "I understand that you have been sent here, not only to look over the place, but to see whether this place is suitable for the joining of our two groups together."

Kagome nodded with a small smile. "Indeed, that is what he asked me to do. He has told me to stay here, in America, until further notice. Of course, I always put in my thoughts and opinions." She said with an unfazed smile as she cursed Sesshoumaru in her head. If only he hadn't convinced her.

Kalos nodded, "That is okay," then he leaned forward, "Now a personal question, if may I ask, how long have you been practicing on the swings? Your performance was very… unique."

Kagome blinked at the abrupt question. "Uh… that… was my first time on the swings actually," Leon and Kalos looked at her shocked, "I had watched Leon's and Sora's performance," she said, not really seeing the look on their faces, more of looking into her head as she tried to explain, "And thought, well, I only really need to swing my body and try to do some sort of twist and try to catch the next one. I realised once I was up there, it is quite harder than it looked and experimented." She looked up at them and grinned, "But I know I sure as hell ain't doing that ever again."

"It's impossible that is your first time, girl."

Kagome looked at Leon with a glare. "I have a name, use it. And I swear it was my first time," she said, "With my life was so hectic the last few years and growing a bit in strength and muscle that I don't think it's impossible. Improbable… maybe. I don't actually know how hard people train for this sort of thing, but it is my first time."

Kalos nodded, "Then you'd be what you would call a prodigy or a genius to be able to get that good for your fist time."

Maybe if you're a demon, Kagome thought to herself once she realised that swinging in the air probably took heaps of practice and it was probably a mistake to mention that was her first time on the swings.

The doors to Kalos' office slammed open and all three pairs of eyes looked over to the intruder and a smile lit up her face as she got up and ran to the person. "Inuyasha!" she exclaimed as the silver haired Hanyou caught her as she jumped him.

Leon narrowed his eyes at the scene. He didn't really like that picture… he wasn't sure why. And the fact that Kalos had called the girl a prodigy had added to his irritation. HE was the best, not her. He looked over at the man named 'Inuyasha' and noticed that he had silver hair like him, but shades lighter. He did not fail to see that Sora and her friends were peeking from the side of the door.

Kagome turned around to face them both and she had an enormous smile on her face that Leon's breath caught in his throat. She looked so happy and innocent. And he didn't know why he was feeling different. He was usually cold and hated happy people, and that included Sora. She just seemed too happy.

"Anyway, my time is up for today," she said with a grin, "See you tomorrow Kalos." She looked at Leon and it looked like her mood quickly dampened. She blinked and narrowed her eyes, "And you better have stopped being an egotistical bastard by the time I see you tomorrow."

"Heh. What was with the cold attitude to Leon Oswald, huh?" Inuyasha asked with they were in his car, deciding a limo was too big of an eye catcher.

"Tch, he's so self centred in thinking that everyone must follow him and his ways," she pouted with arms crossed, "It was starting to get on my nerves."

Inuyasha laughed as he sped through the streets above the directed speed limit. "That sounds like you," she looked at him, "Ah, we're almost here."

She raised an eyebrow. "What sounds like me?" she asked curious as he glanced at her then back at the road.

"Heh, you're one to never take any shit from anybody Kagome," he said with slight humour in his voice, "I've gone through a lot of 'sits' to know."

She smiled and looked to his neck, "Your necklace is still in place," she grinned evilly, "So if I say the 's' word you'd still fall huh?"

Inuyasha had looked panicked for a second and the car swayed off to the side before he quickly concentrated on the road, "Don't you dare try Kagome, I'm driving," he said to her brutal smile.

She blinked innocently, "Who said I was going to do anything? Don't assume too much Inuyasha," she said lightly as Inuyasha grumbled a 'we're here,' and parked the car. She looked up at the bunch of apartments strung together, although it looked quite expensive.

"Your stuff is already inside," Inuyasha said getting out of the car as she got out. "Come," she followed Inuyasha as he went to the one with 201 numbered on the door. Inuyasha took out the key and opened the door, "Ah yeah," he said as he took off his shoes and walked in, Kagome following him, "I forgot to tell you, you'll be living with me. Don't mind if you see a random teenager or two, they're my kids."

Kagome's face lit up, "You mean you have children now? Is Kikyou the mother?" Kagome asked as he showed her into her room.

Inuyasha laughed, "Yes, yes, she is, she's out with the devils as we speak," he said and she looked at him questioningly and he grinned at her as he understood, "Yes, she's still alive. What's a half demon to do if their human mate can't live as long as them?"

She smiled at him. "You've changed Inuyasha," she said cocking her head to the side, "But for the better, you're not as brash as you used to be."

"Well living for over five hundred years can do that to you, " he gave her a push into his guest room, "Now go to sleep, I'm sure you had a tiring journey. I'll call Sesshoumaru to let him know you're here."

She smiled and nodded and yawned. Now that she thought about it, she was kind of sleepy. "Okay, g'night 'Yasha," she said and closed the door and flopped on the bed.

Inuyasha looked back at the door as it softly shut. He smiled. "Good night 'Gome." His illusion covered ears twitched as he heard the keys rattling against the door and he walked there in time to see his wife carry a bunch of grocery bags inside, followed by two of his children.

"Hey, darling, can you help me?" Kikyou said when she saw him with a small smile as his kids walked by her.

Inuyasha walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek, all the while taking grocery bags off her, "Sure," he said, "Kagome's in now," he said loud enough for his two children to hear as well, "So don't make to much noise. She's sleeping."

His children, or should I say teenagers, called back a 'Yes sir,' as they began putting some of the groceries away. One looked 18, his mussed brown hair, cut nice and short, unlike his father's. Although, streaks of silver could be seen in them and his eyes amber. He was calm and reserved like his mother.

The other was a girl, who looked about 16. Her brown hair was a short, shoulder length size. Her eyes a nice green and her skin lightly tanned. Although she had that kind of innocent look, she is known to be quite a troublemaker, taking after her dad in that aspect.

The other person who wasn't there was their oldest, to be looking around 21. He was currently working overseas helping with a different department of Sesshoumaru's company from Kagome.

Inuyasha walked behind Kikyou and wrapped his arms around her waist lovingly from the back as she began putting away groceries. A small smile formed on her face. "Now, now Inuyasha, let me cook some dinner for everyone," she said turning in his arms and giving him a peck on his mouth, "I'm sure Kagome is really hungry after a long day."

"I'm sure she is," Despite the words that came out of his mouth, he pulled Kikyou closer and nuzzled her neck, only pulling apart when his children walked into the room.

"Dad, geez, not in front of us!"

Inuyasha laughed and pulled away. "Alright, alright," he let go of Kikyou, "Just help your mother make dinner, okay? Just going to go out for a bit." He said and patted his daughter's head as he exited the room.

His son smiled and complied, whilst the daughter made a long antagonising sigh, going over to help with the food preparations.

OoO

Kagome sniffed upon waking as a delicious smell wafted past her nose. Stretching, she covered her mouth as a yawn left her mouth. She looked about her blankly before she remembered where she was. With one last stretch, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed, her bare feet touching the carpeted floor.

Walking out, the scent of food getting stronger as her stomach rumbled, she followed the scent, trusting her nose. She soon found herself in the kitchen/dining room and Kikyou turned to look at her with a smile.

"Kagome, you're awake," she stated, "Sit at the table, dinner is just about ready." Then she turned to the door, "Komu!" she called out, "Set the table up!"

Kagome blinked when she saw what appeared to be an 18 year old boy entering the room and she let out a large squeal, "Oh my God, Kikyou, he's so cute!" She exclaimed as he turned bright red at her words.

Kikyou laughed at her son's predicament. "Well, the father is a handsome man," she said, "Komu, this is Kagome, the guest that your father was talking about and Kagome, this is one of my son's Komu," she introduced the two.

Kagome nodded and bowed enthusiastically. "Nice to meet you, Komu-chan!"

Komu, face still flushed, mumbled a 'yeah' and walked away, grabbing plates and whatnot needed for the table.

"So, Kagome, I haven't seen you in five hundred years," Kikyou said as Kagome sat down, "What have you been up to?"

"Oh not much," she said as Kikyou set a bowl of rice on the table, "Just finished my education in University and then worked in Sesshou-nii's company."

"Yeah, I heard about that," Kikyou said, "He adopted you as his little sister, yes? Kaichi? Dinner's ready!" she called out and quickly turned back to Kagome.

Kagome laughed out loud, "Yeah, a couple of years ago. By the way, where's Inuyasha?"

"He had to go somewhere," another female's voice said as a girl entered the room with a cheeky grin, "Hi-ya! You must be Kagome. Name's Kaichi. Welcome to our humble abode."

Kagome grinned. "Glad to be here."

Sorry guys for the -really- delayed update. Anyway I hope you forgive me and review. It's not much in this chapter I know. I was just basically introducing Inuyasha's family, but this is better than nothing, right? Anyway, give me a review and tell me what you think.
