DISCLAIMER: Go to Chapter 1

A/N: Okay people, I need votes! Is Inu No Tashio in the story or not?

"My answer is yes. I know that she needs you, just like I needed my children and my gang to get over your mother's' death. I was hard on all of us, but for her to lose both of her parents and have to take care of her younger siblings and then run a business? Yeah, she needs you." He said smiling to her.

Kagome looked at her father with wide eyes, not believing that he actually agreed for her and Souta both to go and help her through this. She stared at her father for a few more seconds before she broke out in happy tears and basically lunged at her father. She wrapped him in a bear hug and started to rapidly whisper 'Thank you' to her father. Her father was shocked by this action, but he still smiled and wrapped his arms around his daughter.

"Of course, I would let you help Sango! The two of you are practically sisters that can read each other's mind. Same with Souta and Kohaku! However, they are boys, so they are brothers, not sisters."

He chuckled lightly before he pried his daughters off from around his neck so that he could actually look at face was rather serious, and usually it never was, even when he was drunk he never gave her this look. He is the type of person that is usually happy and always playful even in some of the serious situations they were in every so often.

The look put them all on edge because the last time the gang saw that look is when of the gang members had betrayed them to their rival gang with information on them. Lets just say before he said anything he couldn't speak anymore and he can't ever again. He was alive, but he couldn't talk ever again. IT was still in a jar somewhere around the shrine and they liked to keep it that way. Every Time they saw it they would shudder and try to get away from it as quickly as humanly plozible - er, possible.

"You just have to promise me that you will look after your brother because he will need as much help he can get with getting over his own grief an

d trying to help Kohaku out of his, okay? I mean he is going along with you right?" Kagome nodded vigorously at her father, he was coming with her and she would look after her brother no matter what!

He chuckled a bit before he let her go and started to wave her off, " Go on, both of us know that the two of you need to pack and I think you're just going to take care of it all. Lord know that you always do..." He said in a light teasing voice, actually laughing when his daughter turned an interesting shade of dark pink before running up stairs.

He smiled lightly while watching his daughter make her trek up the stairs. She was turning out to be more and more like her mother, from taking care of everything to making sure that everything was okay before she went somewhere. He understood that most kids her age would have just snuck out the house without a backwards glance. He was surprised and happy that she actually took time out of making things happen to actually ask him if she and souta could go or not, which really never happens amongst teenagers.

He was happy, and he knew that Kagome would be happy too. Kagome may not realise it yet, but he could tell that she actually liked- he shook his head. It was time to get out of these thoughts and actually helping my daughter before she leaves for Kami* knows how long until she and her brother came home.

He went up the stairs at a slower pace than his daughter. He helped her when she started packing Souta's stuff. Being a guy himself made the process go smoother and a lot faster than expected. THey also packed another bag that had all of souta's games and even his soccer gear (surprisingly) fit in one huge suitcase.

It became like a whole family thing now; the gang was like family to Kagome and her brother. Although, Souta still doesn't know that they were actually gang members, and not just freinds of their fathers that were over all the time. They would tell him eventually when he got older, but until then, it was better to leave him in the dark for his own protection and that's what really mattered.

Anyway, while Kagome and her father were packing the essentials like clothes and little things they always takes with them wherever they go, THe gang was down stairs collecting things that they thought they would need because they would basically moving out for sometime.

While they were getting everything they deemed 'needed', they started to talk about the entire situation. On one hand they could deny ever having contact with Sango's parents and end the shipments now, or they could tell her what was really going on and go from there. But thee gap that they had to bridge with the latter …. How were they going to explain to her that she has been hanging around gang members her entire life and her best friend was the heir to the gang? Not only that, but her best friend knew about this for years and never told her anything…. Yeah, this is going to give them all a headache, so after some time talking they agreed to tell her. It was either now in the present, or later when she found out herself and might help the Onigumo gang.

Sango's parents were actually friends with the entire gang; and they weren't just their friends either. THey were the suppliers to every single gang is the city; what I mean is they made their fortune on supplying weaponry to them. But no only that, since the girls became friends, they had much closer contact with their gang and became apart of the gang basically. They fell underneath their protection, which means if they were dead, either someone messed up and didn't follow them or they were dead themselves. Things were going to get a lot more complicated

THis was the reason why they were sorry for that young girl, because she had to make the decisions about if she will keep what her parents were doing alive… Or just let it die out. It was up to her and they just hoped that they wouldn't tell the boys about the gang. Things were already starting to get complicated, they really didn't need the drama that would come along with that.

A/N: Oooohhh! A Hint of something you don't know! Don't you just love it when someone does that?

Anyway… If someone tells me what "IT" is that's in the jar, name what you want in the next chapter!

For telling me what "IT" is, PM me, okay

By the way, "IT" is something to do with the throat, get your mind out of the gutter people!
