A/N: Shorter chappy…but funny and full of convos…

CHAPTER 21:

-"Sa-Sayuri…p-pinch m-me…" Touga stuttered, dumbfounded, eyes wide, jaw agape.

-"Y-you pinch me." Sayuri was in the same condition.

After a good, peaceful night's sleep, the couple was sitting on the breakfast table, planning about the funeral that was going to take place that afternoon…when suddenly…

The door of the dining room opened…entered a yawning Inuyasha.

-"Hey dad, ma…" Inuyasha perked.

When no greetings came from them, he looked at them to see them gaping at him… "What?" he snapped.

-"U-um…morning?" Sayuri was trying to form words, Touga was silent.

-"Whatever…" Inuyasha snorted, "Mina...gimme somethin' to eat…I'm famished."

-"I'm surprised that you even know big words as 'famished'…do you know the meaning?" Sesshoumaru snorted as he entered the room with Kagome in tow.

-"Hey bastard…whaddu ya think I am?" Inuyasha bristled, "I'm not as stupid as ya think, you know."

-"Oh so you agree that you ARE stupid." Sesshoumaru smirked, while Kagome giggled.

Sesshoumaru sat down with Kagome beside him, at the opposite side of Inuyasha and Sayuri, as Touga was sitting at the head of the table and started eating.

Sayuri and Touga stared at their boys who kept on verbal sparring like normal…like anything had never happened…even Kagome joined them…teasing both the brothers periodically. They smiled at each other… 'Our house is becoming home once again.'

…

The funeral went by swiftly…Kagome spent a final few tears for her sister…before smiling and declaring loudly in front of others, "Kik, I loved you always…since I can remember, you were always with me…even when you hated me, abused me, resented me…I never stopped…I now say this to you dear Sister…I forgive you, you'll be my sister forever…I love you sis, may you rest in peace."

Sango and Miroku were startled the most at her mood change, but they were the happiest once about it too.

The function was held in Higurashi shrine…which now came handed down to Kagome, who in turn handed all of it to Touga…saying, "Thank you for taking care of me, and I'd be happy if you take care of it all too until I become mature enough. But in one condition."

Touga looked perplexed, "And that is?"

Kagome blushed and motioned for him to lean down so she could whisper in his ear, "Can me and Souta stay with you guys…please, please…preeeeeeeettttyyyyyyyyyyyy please." She turned her 'puppy eyes' to him…and as a good daddy, Touga can never refuse that look, not that he ever planned to refuse the 'condition'.

…

It was Friday night, with the whole funeral and all the whole day, everyone was tired. The Taishou family and the Higurashi siblings entered the mansion, took a refreshing shower, and met at the dining room for dinner.

As they, all sat around the table…Touga at the head, his right Sayuri, on her right Inuyasha. At Toga's left, sat Sesshoumaru, Kagome at his left, Souta on her other side.

-"So Sess, how's it goin' on house search?" Inuyasha asked.

-"No avail yet." Sesshoumaru cursed under breath, "In fact, Hakudoshi called today…I found an estate quite good…perfect for me. Close to office, a great neighborhood, private beach…"

-"Wow." Kagome gasped.

-"Cool." Souta said.

-"And…no pets allowed." Sesshoumaru looked at his brother who fumed. "But…"

-"What's the catch?" Touga asked.

-"I still don't want my baby leave the house and stay alone." Sayuri pouted sulkily.

-"I can't stay alone; there's at least a female presence required." Sesshoumaru sighed.

-"Aww." Kagome muttered.

-"Ha! Serves you right bustard." Inuyasha sneered.

-"Shut up, pup." Sesshoumaru growled. "When are you leaving?"

-"Where are you going, Yash?" Kagome asked.

-"I…u-um…I got accepted in Tetsusaiga." Inuyasha blushed.

-"That amazing boarding school in US for the most rich or the most genius persons." Kagome said.

-"Um yeah!" Inuyasha blushed harder, feeling proud.

-"Well Souta did too." Kagome said as matter-of-factly.

-"What?" Inuyasha asked mouth agape.

-"Ya, he's our family's little genius." Kagome smiled and Souta stared at Inuyasha.

-"We'll go together." Souta jumped on his seat.

Suddenly a loud shrill of 'Gangnam style' broke in the sibling rivalry. Sesshoumaru excused himself and answered the call. A while later he came back to the table.

-"Who was it?" Touga asked, munching on some food.

-"Jaken." Sesshoumaru growled.

-"That toad." Inuyasha crunched his nose in disgust.

-"Toad?" Souta asked.

-"Ya, like a slimy green creature with beaks and bald and almost half of your size. He wears some kinda brown rag and has a stuff with 2 heads crafted on it." Inuyasha told him.

-"Eww!" the women exclaimed.

-"Really?" Souta stopped eating.

-"He's only bluffing." Touga assured.

-"Owww come on dad, can't I have a lil fun?" Inuyasha pouted.

-"Whatever, I want to ask you something, Kagome." Sesshoumaru turned to her.

-"Are you gonna propose to 'Gome?" Souta asked eyes innocent.

-"I…u-um…I'm only 15." Kagome blushed.

-"I'm not gonna propose to you." Sesshoumaru sighed. "I want to ask you…will you be interested to be a solo-singer?"

Kagome's jaw dropped, "A-are you offering…"

-"Yes, our company need a solo singer, and you are perfect for it." Sesshoumaru said in a serious tone.

-"Um, I don't think I can…" she whispered.

-"Please Kagome, a lot is at stake here…" Touga pleaded, "Here…Sess will do anything for you if you accept."

-"Anything?" Kagome grinned.

-"Uh-oh…" Inuyasha snickered.

-"What is it?" Sesshoumaru met Kagome's evil stare sternly.

-"I wanna move with you." Kagome blurted.

-"No." Sesshoumaru said flatly.

-"Aww why not?" Kagome cooed.

-"I said no, girl." He growled.

-"Oh please…pretty please?" Kagome made big pouty 'puppy eyes'.

-"No." flat.

-"Please Sess, you can do it." Touga cheered.

-"Ya good luck bro, she's a witch." Inuyasha snorted.

-"Inuyasha." A warning from Kagome made him cower in his seat.

-"I ain't saying anything." He defended.

-"Wow, 'Gome will live with him. 'Gome, you will marry him?" Souta was amazed.

-"Oh no, of course not." Kagome was mortified.

-"Sesshoumaru, for our company's sake you will have to do it." Touga ordered all seriously.

-"No." a flat-no-nonsense tone.

-"Sesshou…" Sayuri warned sternly.

-"Oh no! Why me?" Sesshoumaru groaned.

A/N: What do you think? Kagome is going to be a singer and she's gonna share a place with Sesshoumaru… *evil grin* I'm not quite satisfied with this chappy, but I think next one will be better…
