DISCLAIMER: DO NOT OWN

A/N: not proofed

They sat for a moment, letting what had been said sink in to the rest of the people in the room. The silence soon broken by Dom. "So who's blood?" He watched as Deckard moved to pick up the letter and read it. Waiting for someone to answer him. "Inuyahsa's and the Original" Kagome answered him. Causing him to raise a brow at the venom in her voice at the last name. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and pinched his brow in frustration.

"You need to let-"
"Don't you dare tell me what I to let go, M'lord. You of all people do not get to tell me what I need to let go. Five years I had to live with it. You had so much more time to, and you still didn't." Kagome spat at Sesshomaru and smiled cynically when she saw that her subtle jabs that only he would know hit him. The others watched the two in silence, all could see that the two need to settle this without interference.

Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open at her jab, eyes narrowing and flashing with power that he knew she would recognize. "This Sesshomaru has every right to tell you what to do Miko. You are under This Ones protection. Part of This Ones pack, This Ones heir. And until these ants are stepped on and crushed you will do well to remember so."
"All well and good, Fluffy, but who are you to tell me what I can feel or not. Remember the last time someone tried? I'm sure your not that old yet. But you know what they say, old age makes you go senile. Do I need to take you out back and put you down? Like all good owners do when the time comes? But all these Ants are Dogs that are mine to crush. You just keep your pretty little hands out of it."

The others watched as Kagomes jabs got worse and they could tell from the look on Sesshomarus face that he was becoming furious.

"You do not own This One-"
"And you do not own me-"
" This One understands that your want to crush them but, you will be-"

Kagome stood up and threw her glass at the wall behind Sesshomaru. The others moved back at her outburst. Luke tried to move forwards but Deckard grabbed his shoulder and shook his head when Hobbs looked back at him. The others noticed that Sesshomaru did not flinch at the outburst. He just remained as chilled as he had been when they started.

"You understand? How can you understand my want? You could never comprehend my want!Your child is still alive! Its not a want it's a FUCKING need to crush them! What they... He took from me I can never get back! MY SON! MY FUCKING SON. YOU GOD DAMN DOG! He didn't take Rin from you! If you don't step back from this, I will call your mother into this. You might out rank me Alpha. But you will never out rank a mother that is out for blood. You will do well to remember what your mother did when she was out for blood." They could see the tears starting to fall from Kagomes eyes. They had not known that she had a son, and from the way Sesshomaru's head snapped and eyes widening he did not either. They looked over at Hobbs and saw the look of confusion on his face and knew that he had no idea either

"Shippo? How was I not aware."
"Because I never told you. Rin doesn't know either."
Sesshomaru stood up and walked over to Kagome and placed a hand on her cheek whipping away her tears with his thumb. "When."
"After it started. Before the gun to me. Ship was the first one he killed," He pulled her in for a hug and let her feel the comforting growl that he was omitting silently. Luke ran the name Shippo through his head and his widened. "Shippo? You mean the kid who tired to steal from you? The tiny red head?" Kagome pulled away from Sesshomaru and nodded. "Yeah, I adopted him after that." Looking at Dom and Letty she gave a small laugh.

"I wasn't playing when I said most of the people I'm friends with tried to kill me or one of our other friends. Shippo tried to steal from me. Inuyasha tired to kill me in the beginning because he thought I was someone he thought was dead, though I guess that should have been a warning. Sess here tired to kill me and Inuyasha. Our late friend Songo tired to kill Inuyasha. Miroku kidnapped me, Kane thought I ripped him off and came after Lu and I, Honey is just crazy. Jane well she just tries to kill anyone she deems unfit to breathe, most of us have been seen on that list. Will tired to take Kane out during a race. And Deck here just got added to the list with Lu and you guys and visa versa." Kagome said with a shrug. Before she went to get herself another glass. But seeing how Sesshomaru still had his she just took his.

The others stared at her in shock. "You girl are crazy." Kagome smiled at Tej "That's what they tell me." Turning back to Sesshomaru she placed a hand on his arm. "Sorry about the dog thing, and bringing your mother into the argument. I would never call her in. She's worse then I am."
"This Sesshomaru also apologizes." Kagome raised her brow at him before passing him his glass back to fill it again. "Really your back to third person, and there I thought you were finished with that"

After Kagome had cleaned up the glass and through out the letter and pictures, as well as giving everyone a beer. Sesshomaru and her sticking to the sake. "Yo why are you two hogging the sake?" Roman asked trying to grab the bottle from Kagome. Who surprised him by grabbing it faster then he thought she could move. "Because this shit will kill an uneducated drinker. This shit is like older then old."

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome with a raised brow, sending Roman a lingering look he spoke "if he dies Miko I'm not saving him."

"Never asked you to save the big mouth, he can live his life with the squirrels ."

Tej spit out his drink and laughed, Dom and Letty chuckled remembering the comment from when they drove off the plane. Ramsey, Deckard and Luke looked amused but confused at the comment. While Roman looked pissed.

"Squirrels?" Ramsey asked. Tej taking a breather decided to tell her the story. "So when we 'rescued' you the only way we could get to that rode was by air. So we drove off a plane and used parachutes to help us. Rome here got cold feet. Luckily I had already foreseen this and had a remote control instilled to his Shoot. So when he refused I pulled it by remote. He got stuck in a tree and Kagome here told everyone that 'Brian your boy is making friends with the squirrels' then she goes and complained the whole time that she wanted to be the one doing Brian's job. Scared the shit out of me when she took the remote to blow the door of the bus to." The others not have heard the last part looked at Kagome in amusement. Who just shrugged and smiled "Why do you think I was so excited to be giving the 'Deckard' job at the party?"

They all looked at her in amusement.

Kagome leaned back in her spot beside Letty and Dom, letting herself enjoy the moment of peace before shit got real.

After Sesshomaru left, Kagome offered her guest rooms to the crew, who looked at her in confusion seeing how she lived in a two bedroom apartment. "Guys I own the apartments beside me. Each having two bed rooms. Luke, Deck take the one on the left." She said tossing them the keys to said apartment. Ushering them out the door before the could refuse "Oh and there's food in the fridge, Hunny likes to keep it stocked" she gave a laugh when she heard Luke curse. Turning to Tej and Ramsey she gave the keys to the other apartment to them, "You, Tej and Roman can have the one on the right, fridge has food and it also has a pull out couch you can tie Roman to." She watched as Tej pulled Roman out with Ramsey following with a good by she promised them breakfast when she woke up.

Turning around she looked at the two left in the apartment with her.
