Hey sorry for the long update but um… well to be honest I wrote a little bit after my last chapter but I haven't written since then except for now which you are reading so to say I am sorry I am making this chapter 1000 words longer and that's not including the author note (sticks tongue out at BelleDayNight for saying that it doesn't count and sticks tongue out again for the "song not counting either" comment)
OK now for the fun news I would like to thank Kari&Joki for being my first twin reviewers yes I said it 2 reviewers in one reviews so thank you for that. Also to the reviewers of oh so little faith I will never just stop writing a story it will tear me apart from the inside until I get annoyed with myself. So until this fic is done I will devote my life to it and only it (except for a minor story here and there) so I won't quit. Thank you to all the people who reviewed and YOU ROCK:)
I am also sorry to say this is sort of a filler chapter so sorry.
-AND ON TO THE STORY-
Disclaimer: (crowd moans) OH come now at least I try to make it funny before the actual story so LIVE WITH IT … OK … I don't own you don't sue so pickle my walnuts and color me blue and soon you will be talking pirate too. OK it wasn't so bad (gets hit with cupcake) who throws a cupcake honestly! (I also don't own that quote the writer of "Goldmember" does)
" Ok now you cut the ingredients into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot." Kagome said while cutting the daikon, (white Japanese radish) potatoes, carrots, and other ingredients into bite sized pieces.
"Then you let it simmer for a couple of hours add some water and soy sauce a few hours before you serve but if you let it cook longer it WILL taste so much better" Kagome told Kaede as she place the pot on the stove and set it to simmer.
"And that's how you make oden add a little sake and there you go grown mans favorite drink and food" Kagome said cheerful happy that she could talk about her favorite food to someone
"Oh thank you child the master tai-youkai said he was craving this dish but I did not know where to start so I thank you. I am in you dept." Kaede said gracefully with a bow.
"Uh … No problem I guess I mean I make this stuff at the bar all the time but um… well you could show me the, well I don't know, electronic gate outside and show me how it works?" Kagome asked with a hopeful grin. Keade looked at Kagome with a weird look
"…. You are a weird child ne but I will show you it if that is what you truly wish" she said while leading Kagome out of the room and to the front gate.
-With Souta -
"Hey Souta what's up" ask a young fox boy, with orange hair, sitting on a desk or at least one of them in the giant room.
"Um hi … uh who are you?" he ask while grinning sheepishly and rubbing the back of his neck as if he should know who he is but forgot.
"Oh good Souta you're here and I see you've met Shippo," stated Sesshoumaru walked in to the music room and straight to the computer nudging Shippo aside so he could access the said machinery.
"Uh who?" Souta stated stupidly while again rubbing the back of his neck.
"He is Inuyasha's and my younger brother. His father died when he was young and our father, who was Shippo's father's friend, adopted him." Sesshoumaru stated while typing in his password.
"Um ok but I really didn't have to listen to his life story you know" Souta informed while shaking hands with Shippo "I mean its great that Inuyasha in now not the only other heir to your fathers title and all but why is he here?" he asked trying to clarify.
"Well he told you my 'life story' because most people ask why I don't look like him or Inuyasha, Thankfully, and then they go on to ask him why I was adopted and Sesshoumaru gets annoyed and instead of disposing of them he clarifies the first time. As for the reason I'm here is because I'm part of the band" Shippo answered cheerfully while avoiding Inuyasha's thrown objects for the thankfully joke.
"Yes he's actually a music prodigy and he already knows how to play several instruments on a pro level" Sesshoumaru said "and Inuyasha if you do not stop throwing things in this room I will ask Souta to go and retrieve his sister and beat the crap out of you…AGAIN" emphasizing AGAIN with a small smirk escaping his lips.
"FOR THE LAST TIME SHE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND SHE… wait she's here on the premises like. Here in the building?" Inuyasha said while adorning an evil look and pacing back and forth "Hey Sess is dad here tonight?"
"…Yes but why does that matter?" he replied while arching an elegant brow before catching what he said "AND how many time's have I told you not to call me that oh so DEMEANING name!" he voiced with venom lacing every single words and face forming a well-practiced scowl.
"… One Thousand Three Hundred Twenty Two" stated in a calculated voice then went to a more concerned/evil look "but is he going to be here the whole night?"
"I think he is but again why is this important." He said while a confused arc of a eyebrow found its way to his face "ALSO where is that 'girlfriend' you are so fond of, Kayko or something like that I would like to start without her but we cant." He said while secretly grinning on the inside.
"See I told you she was good she's even growing on you where we can't even start a practice without her" Inuyasha chirped happily
"Ah but Inuyasha you didn't let me finish I was going to say because if she came in while practicing she would end up WHINING and CRYING and RUINING the GOOD practice" Sesshoumaru said with emphasis on many key word.
"YOU know what I going to let that one slide you…you DOG because I have something great planed tonight" Inuyasha said darkly while walking behind the drums to set up and plan for the upcoming event.
"Ok ANYWHO lets set up and get ready for practice" Shippo said while yanking Souta by the arm to the instruments while Sesshoumaru silently got up and walked out the room the same time when Miroku walked in with a handful of boxes.
"Hey Inu, Souta, Shippo come help me and Sango bring the rest of the computer recording stuff and also bring the lighting up from down stairs" Miroku said while placing the boxes on the floor near the desk and rushing to the door to help Sango through the door.
"MIROKU I SAID I GOT IT SO STOP TRYING TO HELP ME!" Sango yelled while pushing by Miroku's helping hands and plopping the things on the ground, which turned to make a sickening crunch. "Um… Come on guy there's more stuff down stairs lets go and get it," she said while hurrying out the door knocking over Inuyasha (who got up to go help move boxes) and narrowly missing Kikyo.
"Watch it" Kikyo hissed at her for narrowly missing her shoes but useless for she was half way down the stairs already. After checking her shoes for smudges she walks over to Inuyasha to check him out "OH Inu-Poo did that mean girl hurt you? Are you okay? Inuyasha HELLL OOOO anyone in there?" she asked while lightly taping on his head.
"Wha-what happened" Inuyasha asked going out of his daze and standing up "Oh yeah the stuff I'll be right back you guys"
"OK… are you guy's SURE Inuyasha wasn't dropped on his head as a baby? Because I'm pretty sure they can get a good psychologist with the money they have." Souta asked slightly confused by the display the hanyou just showed while Miroku nodded a silent yes to Souta and walked over to set up the recording instruments.
"OF COURSE HE WASN"T DROPPED ON HIS HEAD AS A BABY! THE PROOF OF THAT IS HIS GIRLFRIEND! … Me." She said standing in a dignified manner while swinging her hands from her sides to her chest trying to emphasize the greatness and honor of being a tai-youkai's son girlfriend.

-(BL: I guess I am going to mention this now; Since humans and demon live side by side now a days their happy and all but they are still 2 different cultures so while Human's have presidents (Head Leaders) following with statesmen and such the Demons don't.
They have a main power that they split into 4 main power groups; North, South, East, and West after that it splits into more groups under the command by 2 main groups; Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest these are like nobles and royals.
As you can see the North and South groups are the more powerful ones. They are located in the Northern and Southern part of the globe. These two Groups keep themselves pure (no human married into) although there are stories that leak out and in reality everybody is ok with demon/human marriages.
Ok but back to the tai-youkai thing. I'm going to make the tai-youkai an ambassador equivalent so he has a lot of official business and has the title. So that's all for my history lesson on the world of demon/human relationships)-

"Ah yeah um sorry then" Souta said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck and taking a few steps back and looking for possible escape routes just in case Kikyo was also dropped on her head as well.
"Ah Kikyo I thought I heard your voice. Now that your here we can start. Where did Inuyasha and Sango go?" Sesshoumaru asked mildly interested.
"He went down stairs to get the rest of the recording equipment," Shippo answered while jumping on to Souta's back (Shippo is like 9 years old but small for his age but not as small as in the anime/manga and no I'm not going to make either of them gay. This is just brotherly sorta thing like Shippo does in the anime crawls on people's heads, backs, and legs…)
"Well when he gets back we will start recording. So get ready," Sesshoumaru said walking over to his guitar and plugging into the amp and about to do a few practice chords when someone shouted from downstairs.
"YOU!" followed by a soft "hi Inuyasha"
-BACK A FEW MINUTES DOWN STAIRS-
"Kagome child could you bring the oden to the Master Tashio-Sama's study?" Kaede asked Kagome serving some of the oden into a big bowl.
"Um I guess. Where is it again" Kagome replied searching for a spoon while trying not to drop the house's main gate motor hidden within her shirt.
"Down the hall to the right oh no wait I am sorry child I meant to say up the hall to the left"(BL: This is a joke to myself about a secretary at my school who is really nice and sweet but has some of the worst directions in the world so if your reading this and you happen to be the said secretary I'm sorry but you know I had to say it somewhere) Kaede said placing the bowl of oden on a tray along with a glass of water and handing said tray to Kagome who plopped a spoon in to the yummy concoction.
"Hey Kaede do you think I could get a tip from him if I smile at him enough" Kagome said cheerfully while walking up the hallway and entering through the open oak doors on the left.
"YOU!" … "hi Inuyasha".
-BACK A FEW MORE MINUTES DOWN STAIRS-
"Hey dad you here?" Inuyasha asked from the entry of his fathers study arms full of equipment.
"I'm here Inuyasha" Inutaisho replied while waving his son in from behind the mountain of paper work upon his desk. Which he had organized into three very nice piles; The Urgent Pile, The More Urgent Pile, and of course, The Most Urgent, but shall stay at the bottom of work list but be blamed on the cat for not getting done, Pile 'note to self: must get cat'. "What can I do for you Inuyasha?"
"Nothing much just a question" he replied while walking behind his father's desk and placing the boxes down on the ground.
"And that is?" Inutaisho asked while continuing the assortment of stamping, signing, and writing he was suppose to do. (Comes with the title)
"Well what would happen if someone assaulted (BL: two peanuts are walking down the street one gets assaulted) a tai-youkai's son?" Inuyasha asked while looking at his father, gauging his reaction.
"That would depend on what the person did to you I guess… Why who beat you up? And if it was Sesshoumaru again I really don't care" Inutaisho said somewhat annoyed while slowing down on his work.
"No it wasn't Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha said while telling his father the story about Kagome exaggerating some parts completely and emphasizing other parts with his hands.
"Well I guess that's pretty bad and it may become a case of some jail time but I think I will have to meet this person first" Inutaisho said standing up and walking around his desk taking a few sniffs of the air "But first I will have to eat" he said while sitting back down behind his three organized mountains
"Mr. Tashio Kaede-sama said to bring this to you and I…" Kagome started but was interrupted by Inuyasha.
"YOU!" Inuyasha yelled while pointing an accusing finger at Kagome.
"Hi Inuyasha is your father here I was told to give him this tray of food" Kagome said casually trying to look around the room for the head of the household.
"WELL GET OUT YOUR NOT ALLOWED HERE BECAU…" Inuyasha started but was cut off by his father.
"Inuyasha is that the person who beat you up?" Inutaisho asked while standing up. Then walking to the front of his desk he turned and glared at the new incomer with an emotional facade.
"Uh y-yes it is" Inuyasha said quite shocked by his father's reaction to Kagome.
The two figures stood apart silently glaring about each other, each studying the other closely almost waiting for the other to make a move when the great dog demon leaped at Kagome and quickly went behind her grabbing the tray of food and raising it is a harmful position above his head before placing it on the ground and saying loudly and gruffly…
"Ah good Kagome does this mean you taken my offer to heart about becoming my beautiful wife?" Inutaisho asked his face doing a complete 180 as he swiped Kagome into a deep bear hug Err… I mean Dog hug. (bear demons don't hug nearly as hard as dogs)
"GET OFF ME YOU CRAZY DRUNKARD" Kagome said while playfully hitting him on the head and squeezing out of his air compressing hug "and besides I still haven't seen a ring yet my love so their can be no wedding" Kagome said while stepping back a few step grinning madly at the great dog demon.
"If you want a ring I can get you one as big as you want and I'll even let you pick the color. Heck and if you except now I'll even through in a car of your choice and in any color all for those 6 words I would like to hear" Inutaisho said also grinning madly at the young girl in front of him.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Inuyasha yelled shocked to no end.
"Inuyasha I don't think those are the 6 words your father was aiming for" Kagome stated calmly.
HAHAHAHAHAHa … Ahem ah yes well CLIFFY AHAHAHAHAHAHA so until next time so um yeah …awkward silence…. Oh and I will now make all my chapters at least 2000 words or more so at least they will be longer so cya! OH and in the words of a good friend.
"Woah...the dad is totally flirting!"
You know who you are
