Chapter One: Meeting
Kagome was walking into town early in the morning to her bakery with her four kids.
The bakery looked like every business store it brown not to big not to small; it had a sliding door, and in the inside was two tables next to the two windows, it had wooden counter that separated the kitchen and the back of the counter from the front of the counter. It had wooden floors and had two windows about two feet away from the door above the tables. And it had a sign outside that said 'Tashio Bakery' on it.
Kagome unlocked and opened the door to her bakery and headed to the back to start baking soon in a few hours customers would be coming usually it quite around here.
"Momma, can we have a cookie?" Akemi asked giving her the puppy dog face.
Kagome giggled "Of course sweetheart" Kagome said sweetly she gave them a cookie and started to put the cookies, cakes, brownies, bread and other pastries on the counter and on the shelves on the wall behind the counter.
Kagome saw the sun peek over the horizon, she smiled and thought 'Inuyasha always loved the sunrise and the sunset'
Kagome went to the front of the bakery and opened up the windows to let in fresh morning air and opened the door and untied and let down the bamboo door.
"So who want so to be my greeter for the day?" Kagome asked Akemi's hand immediately shot up.
"Me Me Me!" Akemi and Yasha said excitedly waving his hand around with a huge smile on his little face.
"Okay Akemi and Yasha you're the greeter of the day." Kagome said smiling at her two youngest sons.
"Tatsuya could you be the waiter if anyone decides to stay?" Kagome asked smiling at her oldest son.
"Sure." Tatsuya said shrugging and putting on his apron that had 'Taisho Bakery' on the top and had a dog demon in the background so that no icing got on his hiori and hamaka.
"Mommy what about me?" Hayami said in tears from being left out.
"Dear you get to help me and Kaiyo when she gets here." Kagome smiling at her only daughter, Hayami smiled and her tears stopping.
"Okay!" Hayami said smiling brightly and then giggling.
"Taisho-san I'm here!" a young woman called out to the back of the bakery.
"Hello Kaiyo I'm just getting the bakery ready for customers." Kagome called back.
Kaiyo had short black hair that reached to her shoulders, she had light brown eyes, tan skin, she was little bit shorter than Kagome, and she was wearing a light blue Yukata that had pink cherry blossom petals patter scattered all over. And a white obi on.
Kaiyo nodded and went to the corner of the store in the back and got the pillows she picked up four and placed them around the first table then went into the back again and got four more pillows and set them around the second tabled.
After they were done they waited for costumers to come they saw a red headed man come in with a blue haired girl, a bird hair-looking man, and a kid with spiky hair come in.
Akemi ran over to them and smiled at the group "welcome to the Taisho Café" Akemi said smiling.
"Thank you." The red haired man said smiling at the little boy.
Akemi just smiled and nodded he giggled then sat back down next to the doorframe but out of the way so that nobody stepped on him on their way in.
The group went over to a table and sat down Tatsuya went over to them.
"What would you like to have?" Tatsuya said smiling at the group of strangers.
"Um I'd like to have jasmine tea and strawberry cake please." The blue haired woman said smiling at her son.
"I'd like to have peach tea and chocolate cake please." The red headed man said smiling as well.
Tatsuya wrote their orders then turned to the other two.
"I would like to have sake and two brownies I guess." The bird haired man said shrugging.
"I would like to have some peach tea with some lemon cake." The boy said.
Tatsuya wrote theirs down then nodded and went to his mother he handed them the slip of paper and Kagome left and got it.
"I'll help you dear." Kagome said smiling at Tatsuya, he nodded then got two plates Kagome did the say and they walked over to group.
Kagome set the chocolate cake in front of the red head and set the strawberry in front of the blue haired woman.
Tatsuya set the lemon cake in front of the boy and the brownies to the bird haired man.
They walked back and got their tea that Kaiyo place on the counter.
Kagome place the Jasmine tea in front of the woman and the Peach tea in front of the red head.
Tatsuya placed the sake in front of the bird head man and peach tea in front of the boy.
"Enjoy." Tatsuya mumbled to them then he bowed and left.
"Enjoy your meals." Kagome said smiling as she walked back to Kagome.
"Kagome those Yakuza's are back they said they want our money if not they were going to burn the business down." Kaiyo said quietly.
Kagome sighed "I'll-" Kagome started off.
"Mom just let me kill them!" Tatsuya exclaimed angrily he hated it when his mother was threatened.
"No dear, they have rules in this era." Kagome said calmly trying to calm her son down there's one thing that he got from his father was protectiveness.
Tatsuya growled then plopped down beside her feet.
"Taisho-san what are you going to do?" Kaiyo said fearfully clutching her hands she had concern in her eyes.
"I'll have to try to get rid of them without killing them." Kagome said as if it was simple.
"How, aren't you scared?" Kaiyo said frowning she had disbelief in her eyes.
"You could say me and late husband dealt with worse, trust me." Kagome said then sighed she went to the back.
~Kenshin's PoV. ~
They listen silently to the women talk while they discuss about their problem.
Kenshin observed the woman named Taisho She had long hip length black hair that had a tint to blue, She had pale skin, she had deep sapphire blue eyes, she was wearing a black yukata that had a huge white dog going up on the left side. And had a deep red obi on.
"I'll have to try to get rid of them without killing them." The woman said wirily they watched the woman go to the back of the store.
"Please we don't have enough money to give you please go away." They heard the woman Taisho plead to Yukaza.
"Why is mommy upset?" the first blue eyed boy wondered he looked at second blue eyed boy who just shrugged.
"Come on lets go see!" blue eyed boy said as he ran to the entrance to the back of the store they saw
"No, you two will not go back there." The taller golden eyed boy said frowning at the two youngest.
"But…but Tatsuya, Mommy is-" The Akemi and Yasha started to protest.
"Mom can handle it she'll be here after she handles those idiots." Tatsuya said frowning at them giving them a disapproving look in his eyes.
Kenshin observed the two little boys and the eldest.
Yasha had short silver hair, he oddly had two silver puppy ears on top of his head, he had deep sapphire blue eyes, tannish pale skin, he was wearing a red outer hiori and a white inner hiori, and he had red hamaka's (Like Inuyasha's clothes). And he was barefooted.

"Please leave we don't have enough money, please leave!" They heard the woman continuing to plead and beg.
They heard a smack ring throughout the store then heard a cry and someone falling.
"Mom!" Tatsuya said shocked he looked as his mother's still body.
Kenshin stood up and went to the back of the store with the others following they saw the Taisho woman on the floor.
"It's not nice to hit a woman," Kenshin said glaring at the yakuza.
"She wouldn't give us money so she deserved a punishment." The leader sneered and his gang agreed smirking.
Kenshin put his hand on his Sakabato the leader saw his cross scar "wait a minute boss look at his scar he's…he's Battousai the Manslayer. One of he's lackey's said with fear in his eyes.
The leader scoffed the turned his nose in the air "You got to be kiddin' me he's Battousai you have got to be pulling my leg." The leader said laughing.
"Boss! Don't upset him I actually want to live ya' know!" The same person squeaked.
"Oh, shut it and I'm Kami." The boss said sarcastically waving his hands above his head.
"Fine you get killed but I'm leaving!" The lackey said the he ran the other group members left with him quickly.
"It seems your group left you behind." Kenshin said glaring at him drawing his sakabato.
"forgive me, I'll take my leave." The leader growled as he left quickly and ran after the others.
Tatsuya went to his mom and placed a hand on her cheek "Mom, are you okay." He said looking at her seriously.
She smiled weakly at her son and nodded as she tried to get her vision back into focus and not spinning.
"I'm okay sweetheart," She said softly as she slowly got up when she stood up she looked at him ", thanks for helping me I owe you."
"It's no problem Mrs." Kenshin said smiling.
"Oh…my name is Taisho Kagome, again thank you." Kagome said as she bowed.
"Mommy, can I come out now?" A little girl asked quietly.
"Yes dear, you can come out their gone." Kagome answered back she turned and looked at the closet.
Kenshin saw a girl poke her head out then rushed out and hugged her mom.
She had shoulder length silver hair she had normal ears unlike her brothers, she had amber gold eyes that had specks of blue making them unique. She had pale skin; she was wearing a pink yukata and had yellow, green, and white flowers all over it. And she had a white obi on.
"Okay!" Hayami said as she looked up at her mother then she looked at the red headed man, she ducked behind her mother becoming shy along with Akemi.
"Like I said if you need anything just tell me." Kagome said she winced a bit when she touched the back of her head.
"You should go home, Miss you hit your head pretty badly when he punched you." Kenshin said softly.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt after all business is slow today." Kagome said biting her lip.
"I'll escort you to your home." Kenshin said not leaving any room for arguments.
"Don't worry Taisho-sama; I'll close the shop for you." Kaiyo said ushering her out.
Kagome nodded then started for the door with Tatsuya, Hayami, Akemi, and Yasha were trailing after her with Kenshin and his group following.
"See, I told you we should of helped mommy, now she's hurt." Akemi and Yasha said in union glaring at Tatsuya.
"Shut up! Like I was supposed to know that would happen, mom's fine now shut up, Morons!" Tatsuya growled angrily at his brothers.
Akemi and Yasha started crying Yasha started to growl back he glared at Tatsuya "I HATE YOU YOU'RE A MEANY" Yasha yelled angrily then ran off somewhere.
"Wait Yasha!" Kagome called after to him with worry in her voice and eyes. "Tatsuya, that was very uncalled for you need to apologize to both of your brothers." Kagome said sternly she ran off to find Yasha.
"Humph…he needs to apologize too he said he hated me!" Tatsuya yelled back after her.
"Tatsuya you're being childish she's right you didn't need to call neither of them a moron, if you hadn't call him a moron then he wouldn't of said he hated you." Hayami said placing her hands on her hips.
Tatsuya glared at her and snarled at her "Whatever, think what you want you all are just weak!" Tatsuya yelled.
"No you're weak Daddy's way stronger than you he makes you look like a stupid puppy!" Akemi yelled taking his sisters side.
"Dad's just a dying man waiting for his deathbed!" Tatsuya yelled at her Hayami eyes widened tears started to fall.
"I'm telling mama, what you said no wonder Yasha hates you you're so mean and when mama hears about this she'll be angry with you!" Hayami yelled pointing at her oldest brother.
Tatsuya scoffed "As if I'm scared of her." He said as he crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"You better be scared of me son because you will be punished for fighting with your brother and your sister." Kagome said coldly she glared at her son angrily.
Kagome started her way home with Yasha in her arms with his nose burred in her hair with a few stray tears falling and whimpering occasionally.
"Mama, Tatsuya said that Daddy's a dying man waiting for his deathbed!" Hayami said whimpers.
"Tatsuya when we get home we are going to have a talk." Kagome said coldly as she glanced back at her son.
When they got back to the house Kagome thanked Kenshin and his friends for escorting them and apologized that they had to hear all that.
"It's okay Mrs. Taisho." Kenshin ushered her and smiled.
"Would you guys like to come in?" Kagome asked side stepping holding the door open for them to enter.
"Yes, thank you." Kenshin accepted smiling then bowing as he entered her home.
"What's wrong with your husband?" Yahiko asked boldly and carelessly.
"Yahiko!" The others yelled at him he gave them a what-did-I-do look.
Kagome smiled sadly "He's recovering from battle wounds some are healed some are taking very long time, "Kagome explained ",would you like to meet him? He could use some new people around, even though he doesn't admit it he misses is being able to run around and play with the kids and be able to go out with us and have a family time together." Kagome said softly.
"Sure I'd love to meet the lucky man to have you as his wife." Sano said with a smirk the others agreed.
Kagome nodded then led them to her room, she knocked softly on the frame of the door "InuYasha, I'm coming in and I brought guests." Kagome said smiling as she opened the sliding door.
"Hey Kagome, who did ya' bring over?" InuYasha asked smiling at her he looked over her and saw four strangers.
"Inuyasha this is Kenshin, Kaoru, Sano, and Yahiko, you guys this is my husband InuYasha." Kagome introduced smiling.
"Nice to meet you guys." InuYasha said smiling at them he shifted to get a better look at them but winced when he felt pain shot up his side.
"InuYasha you can't move around a lot, I need to check your wounds and bandages." Kagome said worriedly and helped InuYasha up slowly and carefully.
"Kagome I'm fine don't worry," InuYasha brushing her off "any way I'm Taisho InuYasha, it's nice to meet you; so who are you guys?" InuYasha said smiling.
"I'm Himura Kenshin, that's Kamiya Kaoru, Myojin Yahiko, and Sagara Sanosuke; it's nice to meet you too." Kenshin introduced he was shocked by his features.
InuYasha had long bottom-length silver hair, white dog-like ears on top of his head, tan skin, he had a red robe hung over his shoulders he can see there was bandages around his torso, chest, and right shoulder. And he had red hamaka's.
"Let me guess I look strange?" InuYasha asked but it sound like a statement.
"W-what, no you don't look strange at all!" Kenshin said hurriedly waving his arms crazily.
"Kenshin are you serious he has freakin' dog ears on his head!" Yahiko said glaring and frowning at Kenshin.
"Yahiko!" The small group yelled glaring at him angrily at his rudeness, they were shocked when they heard laughter.
They looked and say InuYasha laughing along with Kagome tears were streaming down their face.
"Why are you laughing?" Kaoru asked shocked InuYasha and Kagome calmed down and finally stop laughing.
"Because he reminds me of me when I was younger." InuYasha said simply smiling at Yahiko not offended at all.
"Please InuYasha, you were way worse." Kagome said smiling and laughing InuYasha snorted.
"Whatever, where is the kids?" InuYasha asked looking around.
Akemi, Yasha, and Hayami ran in smiling and giggling.
"Hey Daddy!" The shouted smiling they ran to the right side of his futon.
InuYasha smiled at them "Hey you guys how have you guys been?" InuYasha asked softly.
"Good we helped mommy in the bakery today, these big meanies were giving mommy a hard time though Tetsuya wouldn't let me help her!" Akemi and Yasha said happily then angrily they huffed and crossed their arms.
"Did you guys fighting again?" InuYasha asked raising an eyebrow.
"It's his fault! He said that you're just a dying man waiting for his deathbed!" Yasha said with tears in his eyes like his twin and sister.
InuYasha sighed he knew Tetsuya was angry at him he just shook his head he gave them a sad smile "Just ignore him, don't worry you two I'm healed just a bit sore." InuYasha said smiling wider and happier when their eyes brightened.
"Really!" The said excitedly they started to jump up and down.
"Yes, I'm full healed and I'm quitting the army I'm missing too much of your lives." InuYasha said smiling softly he got up slowly.
"Awesome!" The boys shouted jumping up and down.
"Yes, any way like I said before it's nice to meet you Battousai and his friends." InuYasha said smirking at their shocked faces.
