Miroku: Well. Not as much as the two of you seem to be.
Inuyasha: why is that?
Miroku: *smiles playfully* You seem to be quite enjoying each other's company.
Inuyasha: yeah we certainly are. just like any normal couple would be. (kisses Kagome)
Miroku: I'll go look for Sango...
Inuyasha: (breaks away from kissing Kagome) I think she is with her little brother and the rest of their siblings.
Miroku: Thank you. *leaves to find her*
Sango: (is sitting chating with Vanessa as they are waiting for the call to breakfast)
Miroku: Sango!
Sango: (smiles) Good morning Miroku. (runs over to him)
Miroku: How did you sleep?
Sango: I slept very well thank you and how about you?
Miroku: Fantastically, thanks. Our little engaged couple is having fun...
Sango: I take it you mean Kagome and Inuyasha? are they kissing and Laughing and stuff like that?
Miroku: Yes. I felt quite like a third wheel.
Sango: I am surprised your mother didn't hear the commotion. (smiles as she gives Miroku a good morning kiss)
Miroku: *pulls apart from her, then hugs her close* Good morning to you too.
Sango: (smiles)
Chiron: (soon calls everyone to breakfast)
Inuyasha and Kagome: (don't even seem to hear it they are just to busy kissing and hugging eachother)
Miroku: Hey, you two, it's time to eat something other than each other's faces!
Inuyasha: (pulls away from Kagome) ok . (looks at Kagome) I guess that is his way of telling us that breakfast is ready.
Kagome: I guess. *gets up*
Inuyasha: (heads over to the dinning Pavillion where Zeus and Ai are waiting)
Kagome: Morning Dad.
Inuyasha: (smiles at Zeus) Good morning Zeus.
Zeus: Morning to the both of you. *smiles*
Ai: Daddy and I thought you were both going to miss breakfast.
Kagome: Well, Miroku came and got us.
Zeus: I am glad that Hera's son thought about it.
Miroku: *as he's walking by* It was no problem.
Miroku: I am surprised that mom didn't intervene.
Zeus: You're right, that is a surprise.
Hera: Zeus of course I didn't intervene.
Zeus: And why not?
Hera: well because I just felt that maybe if I attempted to get involved they would get upset with me... I want my relation with my step daughter to be a good one. I really never liked the fact that in alot of the stories I was put in a bad light because I didn't get along with most of my husband's other children.
Kagome: *smiles* Thank you.
Inuyasha: (smiles) letting us know when it is time for us to go to breakfast is one thing. and would actually be appreciated. (smiles)
Hera: *smiles* I'll keep that in mind.
Kagome: I was actually shocked yesterday mother that you weren't getting all over Inuyasha and me wanting to help us plan our wedding. it almost concerned me until dad told me not to let it worry me to much
Hera: I don't want to be a burden to you.
Kagome: (smiles and goes over to Hera and Hugs her) it is alright to make suggestions that you feel are helpful as long as you don't go to far overboard. most mothers step or other wise are commonly involved even in small ways in helping their child plan their wedding.
Hera: Thank you, Kagome. *hugs her back*
Kagome: infact mom when I go to pick out my wedding dress I would like your oppinion on it if you wouldn't mind. (knows that Aphrodite wants to go and plans to have both of them help her to pick out the right wedding dress.)
Hera: I would be honored!
Zeus: (seeing that Aphrodite being Kagome's sister had also wanted to be there to help with the wedding dress decision and knows that Kagome did not say that she was going to have both go so he leads Aphrodite away from her table for a quiet little talk since he knows that Kagome intends to have both Hera and Aphrodite help choosing a wedding gown)
My daughter your sister does plan to let you help in her wedding decisions including the wedding dress decision but she also wants her step mom's oppinion because Usually it is a task for mother and child to make together.
Aphrodite: I completely understand. I wouldn't have it any other way. *smiles*
Zeus: good (smiles) though I will speak to Kagome and mention to her that it would be best if the three of you go sometime before the end of this month so that she can find the dress that is right and get everything else as ready as can be. even though the actual wedding is not until July of next year some of the custom design wedding shops need to have orders placed several months in advance to get the wedding dress done for the wedding.
Aphrodite: I will be glad to go, just have her let me know when.
Zeus: right. (heads back to where Kagome is now sitting down next to Inuyasha)
Kagome I think Aphrodite was right last night that you and her and Hera should go shopping for your wedding dress before this month is over. after all some of the best dress shops that we know of are the ones that custom make the dresses and they tend to need orders placed several months in advance just to get the dress made by the day of the wedding.
Kagome: Okay! We'll go then. I can't have anything less than the best, can I? *smiles*
Zeus: No just be glad that other than your wedding dress the rest will be how ever you and Inuyasha want it. just a nice simple wedding with just your family and your friends in attendance. just like the wedding for Inutaisho and Izayoi was.
Kagome: Yes, I'm looking forward to planning it over the next year.
Zeus: yeah and know this that if you need any advice I am sure Aphrodite's children will be more than happy to help you.
Kagome: I'm sure any one will help me. But they will help the most, I think.
Zeus: yeah well I am sure they will be willing to go with you when ever you have time to go we have at least acouple weeks before this month ends.
Inuyasha: (whispers to Zeus) and while they are looking for wedding gowns and fixings I can find a good bank to deposit my share of my father's fortune.
Zeus: Yes, of course. I think that wise.
Inuyasha: it is definately the safe thing to do. after all (keeps his voice down real low so only Zeus can hear him) I can't keep hiding the 20 million gold under my bed. though I know that is what some people did before there were banks but it is a bit more risky.
Zeus: Much easier to steal right out from under your nose.
Inuyasha: yeah. and I would prefer to avoid having that happen.
Zeus: Me too.
Kagome: well since it seems it would be a good Idea to do both before news of Inuyasha windfall of cash reaches the wrong ears why don't we see about doing both tomorrow that way everything gets done and we can have a restful time the rest of the visit.
Zeus: A splendid idea, I must say.
(just after breakfast Kagome goes to talk to Hera and Aphrodite)
Kagome: (looks at Aphrodite and Hera) I had a good idea why don't we go shopping for the wedding dress tomorrow since Inuyasha has a quick little errand to run himself. (namely to find a bank for his money.)
Hera: Of course, Kagome. Does that work for you, Aphrodite?
Aphrodite: that is a perfect Idea. I couldn't have planned it better myself.
Kagome: Great! Then it's settled. *smiles*
Hera: yes tomorrow after breakfast the four of us will go run our errands together Inuyasha can do what ever he needs to do. and we can find you a gown for your wedding. (smiles really happy that she is getting her chance to help Kagome with her wedding and also getting the ability to help Zeus decide what to give the happy couple for their wedding gift. and the fact that with the wedding gift idea goes she can go as over the top as she likes)
Kagome: I'm looking forward to it. *smiles*
Hera: (smiles and then heads off to watch miroku's sword training)
Aphrodite: (smiles at Kagome) I will see you tomorrow Kagome now I think you have your classes to hurry off to my dear sister.
Kagome: Yes, see you tomorrow. *smiles*
Inuyasha: (catches Kagome as she is heading off to her Archery class and pulls her into a hug) my Darling Kagome did I tell you today how much I love you. (then kisses her)
Kagome: No, I don't think you did. *smiles*
Inuyasha: (smiles) well I love you so much if you were to take those large clay pot Kaede used to hold water and fill them to the top with my love for you it would be enough to encircle Kaede's village fourteen times. easy. (kisses her again)
Kagome: *laughs* I love you too. Now I really have to get to class, or Chiron will have my hide, engaged or not. *smiles* See you later.
Inuyasha: no problem see you later (goes to work some more with his sword training)
Kagome: (races to the Archery class hoping to not be to late)
Chiron: It's nice to see that you've joined us, Ms. Higurashi.
Kagome: sorry. Inuyasha caught me and was not willing to let me go till he told me how much he loved me and kissed me. though I guess this is Inuyasha's first time being happy.
Chiron: I understand. Grab your bow and aim at the target.
Kagome: (does as told)
Chiron: Good, just a bit higher...
Kagome: (aims just a bit higher and hits the target)
Chiron: Great job!
Kagome: (smiles)
Chiron: Now keep it up till the end of the hour!
Kagome: (keeps it up and just fives seconds before class ends her thoughts shift to Inuyasha and as she day dreams forgets to look where she is aiming and shoot barely missing Chiron's tail)
Chiron: Watch it!
Kagome: huh?
Chiron: My behind almost got skewered by your arrow!
Kagome: how did that happen?
Chiron: You lost concentration.
Kagome: (blushes)
Chiron: Well, make sure you pay attention next time, alright?
Kagome: Alright.
Chiron: *smiles* Go on, get to your next class.
Kagome: (heads off to her next classes though most of those Inuyasha took with her which included the Pegasus ridding class and several others)
Inuyasha: (smiles at her fiancee and chooses to enjoy his life now considering that now his life is as good as it could ever get atleast for him.)
Kagome: *smiles* Whatchya thinking about?
Inuyasha: I am thinking of you and me and realising that I now have everything any half demon could ever hope for. (smiles brightly yet still making sure he doesn't let his mind drift to la la land.)
Kagome: We have what anyone could hope for.
Inuyasha: yeah you can say that again.
Kagome: *smiles and goes back to what she was doing*
Inuyasha: (turns back to what he is doing as well)
(soon the afternoon free choice classes come around)
Inuyasha and Kagome: (head off to the climbing wall together)
Kagome: *goes up to it, and begins to scale it, trying not to get burned*
Inuyasha: (Scales it with out to much trouble but goes at a slow pace so as to not rush Kagome)
Kagome: You can go faster, I'll be fine.
Inuyasha: (smiles but soon just goes a little faster)
Kagome: *finally reaches the top*
Inuyasha: (smiles having himself reached the top) Jeez it would never do to have sesshomaru try this not in a million years. he would find this sort of thing too easy. (laughs as he pictures his brother yawning as he took on this climbing wall)
Kagome: We'd have to add extra obstacles. *laughs*
Inuyasha: yeah
Kagome: Well, now that that's done, lets go to lunch.
Inuyasha: sounds like a plan. (smiles) (soon looks at Kagome have just now noticed he hadn't put himself down once the entire day.) this is weird.
Kagome: What?
Inuyasha: have you noticed I haven't used one put down line all day? I have never gone this long without putting myself down before or at least not that I can remember.
Kagome: Oh, no I hadn't noticed.
Inuyasha: yeah it only just now hit me. (laughs) I wonder if anyone else has noticed? I doubt it. (hurries with Kagome to lunch)
Kagome: Hey, Dad.
Zeus: Hey Kagome, Hey Inuyasha How has your day been so far?
Inuyasha: terrific.
Kagome: Yep! Fantastic.
Miroku: (looks at Inuyasha) uh Inuyasha are you feeling alright? (had himself noticed that Inuyasha didn't put himself down even once like he used to and is worried about it just a bit as he walks to his mother's table)
Zeus: I wonder what prompted Miroku to ask if you were feeling well?(looks at Inuyasha)
Miroku: I had noticed he hadn't been putting himself down.
Zeus: now that you mention it I have noticed that myself.
Kagome: I hadn't until he said something. Well, doesn't that mean he's better than normal?
Zeus: yeah but it is rather odd. but I suppose since it took most of us some time to notice I doubt Ares has even made note of it and I am pretty sure that Percy and Poseidon haven't noticed it yet.
Kagome: Either way, we're all still happy.
Inuyasha: yeah.
Myoga: you know Master Inuyasha you are really just way to happy. you are lucky I don't call the happy police and have them haul you away for breaking the limit on happiness. (is teasing Inuyasha and also trying to put him down to make things seem alittle more normal but doesn't realise that doing so in front of the entire camp might be dangerous to the little flea)
Everyone: *looks at him in anger*
Myoga: what? did I say something wrong?
Zeus: Of course. He has every right to be happy.
Myoga: well excuse me for trying to make things seem more normal.
Zeus: It backfired on you.
Myoga: yeah obviously since I can see everyone did not like my inuyasha put down.
Clarisse: (walks over to the table and looks at myoga) Yeah none of us thought that was funny. (looks at her father and then back at the flea) in fact I think my dad might need to have a few choice words with you.
Myoga: (looks at Clarisse) if you think you scare me little girl you are mistaken.
Clarisse: Well, you should think again.
Myoga: some times I do what I do to keep Inuyasha's head out of the clouds and back on the ground where it belongs.
Clarisse: Being happy doesn't mean his head is in the clouds.
Inuyasha: yeah Myoga after all I actually like feeling good about myself thank you very much. and I have alot to be happy about.
Kagome: It's not right to put him down, Myoga.
Percy: (looks at his father,) father may I douse the flea?
Poseidon: Of course you may.
Zeus: (looks at percy and at Poseidon) but first let me, Kagome, Ai and Inuyasha get out of the way.
Percy: Sure. *waits*
Zeus: (gets his family out of the way so that Myoga is out standing alone at the now empty table)(smiles) alright percy fire a way.
Percy: *releases the water*
Myoga: (is now drenched) well I guess I deserved that?
Inuyasha: I would say he deserved that.
Kagome: *nods* Yup.
Myoga: (looks at percy) and here I thought the only one you would drench with water when he put inuyasha down was Inuyasha himself.
(is throughly soaked.)
Percy: Nope.
Poseidon: If Inuyasha is not the one putting himself down but someone is hurling insults at him and my son knows he has permission from either me or my brother or both he will drench just about anyone.
Percy: Just ask Clarisse.
Myoga: uh if you don't my inquisitive nature what do you mean by that? as far as I am aware Clarisse never insulted Inuyasha. nor have I ever seen her get drenched save only once when that bullying human tried to hold her under water.(reminding percy of the time they had been in the feudal Era for their trip)
Percy: I meant the day I got here. Not necessarily insulting Inuyasha.
Clarisse: you got a lucky shot in that day Prissy. and remember you also soaked your girlfriend that day too.
Percy: Oh yeah...
Annabeth: yeah.. but it was kind of funny when it happened.
Percy: I guess that makes up for it.
Annabeth: yes it does. (smiles happily)
Percy: *smiles*
(as the day draws to a close everyone begins winding down energy wise)
Inuyasha: (smiles) Oh what a long day to day has been a long exciting tiring day.
Kagome: That it has. *smiles*
Zeus: You two also have another long exciting day tomorrow. since the two of you are going out with Aphrodite and Hera. they are helping Kagome to find her wedding dress and you are going to deposit your money in a bank.
Inuyasha: yeah I know (reaches into his pocket and pulls out his old baseball cap the one he always used to cover his dog ears) I have to remember before we go anywhere to put this cap on. I don't want people to be scared out of their senses. (laughs)
Kagome: And don't lose it this time! *laughs*
Inuyasha: the only reason I lost it the last time was because I jumped out of that fifth story apartment window rescuing that Child and his cat from the fire. uh unless I am completely mistaken I doubt there are going to be any places I can end up doing those kinds of stunts here. I do not plan to be making the six o clock news this go around.
Kagome: No, not likely, on your way to the bank.
Zeus: what were you and Inuyasha talking about?
Kagome: When Mom asked him to bring me my lunch, he made the news by stopping a thief and rescuing a child and a cat from an apartment fire.
Zeus: those are things he should be very proud of. why wouldn't he wish to repeat the performance?
Kagome: uh he was thrilled to have done the deeds but it was the winding up on the six o clock news that upset him. to this day he believes that what he did was nothing any decent person wouldn't have done.
Zeus: I see. He doesn't like the publicity.
Inuyasha: well would you if you were only doing what came natural to you?
Being a nice person and helping people when they need it kind of comes naturally to me so I don't expect notoriety for doing just was is normal? I mean I am pretty certain my father was the same way right?
Zeus: Indeed he was. Very chivalrous.
Myoga: (having once more caught up to them) and very unwilling to take the honors that were in truth his due for some of his chivalrous acts.
Zeus: True still.
Myoga: in which case he was indeed very much like you master Inuyasha. though some times you have to yield and let people give you the props you deserve because otherwise you are denying someone else of doing what comes natural to them. what helps to boost their esteem of themselves.
Kagome: that is also true myoga. (yawns) (goes to her bed and goes to sleep)
Zeus: I think you should turn in yourself, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: (smiles) I think I shall. Good night Zeus. (smiles at him as he heads to bed where his 20million is still hidden)
Myoga: I am quite glad Inuyasha is planning on putting that money in the bank it provides too much of a temptation to some of his friends in this camp. and the sooner the temptation is removed the better.( is basically saying that he suspects that if Travis and Connor knew he had that money from his father that they would not be able to resist the temptation to steal it.)
Zeus: Are you speaking of the Hermes children, Myoga?
Myoga: well very loosely. but yes.
Zeus: They wouldn't steal that kind of thing, not from him.
Myoga: (thinks for a second about how close friends Inuyasha had become with the boys) yeah perhaps you are right. maybe I was wrong.
(goes over to Inuyasha and goes to sleep)
*smiles and goes to sleep himself*
(next morning)
Ai: (gets up and goes over to her sister) Big Sister Kagome wake up it is morning,
Kagome: *opens her eyes* Good morning, Ai.
Ai: good morning Kagome. (smiles) Inuyasha is still sleeping I wonder why?
Kagome: I don't know. I'll wake him up. *gets out of bed, and goes over to Inuyasha,* Inuyasha, it's morning.
Inuyasha: (yawns) good morning Kagome. how did you sleep last night?
Kagome: Very well, thank you. You?
Inuyasha: I slept wonderfully if you don't count myoga being crazy last night. (had obviously heard the entire conversation between Myoga and Zeus about Hermes' sons.)
Kagome: Doesn't surprise me. I'm glad you got some sleep.
Inuyasha: (smiles and gets up and as he is preparing for the day tells Kagome about what myoga had said last night )
Kagome: Of course they wouldn't steal it from you, they'd steal something more like your kimono, and hide it for an hour, and then tell you where they put it.
Inuyasha: I know that well enough. (smiles and then tells Kagome that her father had said something similar last night before Myoga had gone to bed)
(they soon head out to breakfast)
Zeus: (sees Hera as they are all sitting down to eat) Hera. you look like you slept well last night.
Hera: I made sure I got extra sleep for today.
Zeus: yes well I had a lovely argument with Myoga last night. if you can believe it.
Hera: Oddly enough, I can believe it. He's ignorant on our family matters and argumentative. What about?
Zeus: he said he was glad that Inuyasha was putting his money into a bank today because it might turn out to be too sore a temptation for some of his friends in this camp and the sooner the temptation was removed the better.
Hera: Meaning Hermes' children.
Zeus: exactly. I told myoga that they wouldn't steal that kind of thing not from Inuyasha.
Hera: And you're quite right about it.
Zeus: yeah so you can see that myoga might be overly distrustful of people.
Hera: Yes I can. Well, he won't put my good day down. Sit and eat, dear.
Zeus: yes. (sits down and eats with Kagome and the others)
Kagome: (Smiles) today is a good day. There is nothing wrong about to day.
(as breakfast draws to a close Inuyasha and Kagome begins preparing to go out to run their errands.)
Hera: Well, Kagome, are you just about ready to go?
Kagome: yep we are just waiting for Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: (come out with the two sacks filled with the 20million gold coins and is wearing the tattered baseball cap that Kagome's mother had given him the time he had needed to take Kagome's lunch to her)
Aphrodite: Alright, I guess we're ready then.
Inuyasha: yep.
(group leaves the camp to run their errands)
Inuyasha: (heads off to the bank with his money having left Kagome in the tender care of both Aphrodite and Hera)
Hera: C'mon, Kagome, this one is my favorite little dress shop. *points it out*
Aphrodite: (follows Kagome and Hera) uh Inuyasha does know that with the amount of money he has he also has the option of wiring his money over to a Swiss bank and having them gaurd it for him right?
Hera: He might. I have no idea what he knows about banking.
Kagome: uh as far as I know this would be his first time using a bank at all so he is a complete novice.
Aphrodite: some how I wish his grandmother had volunteered to help him. but we will have to worry about that later. our first priority is getting you a nice wedding gown.
(picks up one of the design books)
Saleswoman: (walks over to the three women) may I help you ladies?
Hera: We're looking for a dress for my daughter for her wedding next July.
Saleswoman: well did you have any particular style in mind?
Kagome: Well, a more classic old-fashioned style, I think.
Saleswoman: (smiles as she looks at Hera and Aphrodite) well there are two kinds of old fashioned styles what we need to do is determine which type of dress you and your mom and sister think looks good on you. we have a couple premade designs that we can have you try on and then you and your family can decide what you like or don't like. alright?
Kagome: Yes, please. I'd like to try them on.
Saleswoman: (leads Kagome, Aphrodite, and Hera into dressing room's waiting area and then takes Kagome into the dressing room) ok we are going to try several different styles of wedding dresses and let you and your family choose which one you think will suit your wedding.
(brings into Kagome and wedding dress that looks like it was patterned after something that would likely have been worn by a ancient Grecian princess and helps Kagome into the gown)
Kagome: It's so pretty! *walks out to show them*
Aphrodite: (after looking on the dress) I think we have a winner with this one wouldn't you say Hera? (Looks at Hera)
Hera: Yes, it looks just like what the women would wear back in Athens.
Aphrodite: yes it does. (looks at Kagome) what do you think about the dress?
Kagome: It's really pretty, and it fits me just right. *smiles*
Aphrodite: So I am guessing we all agree that this dress would definately be a good one for your wedding.
Hera: Yes, I think we do!
Saleswoman: so we already have a winner?
Aphrodite: (Smiles) I think it is safe to say that yes we do.
Kagome: *smiles* How much is it? not that I'm concerned, it's just nice to know.
Saleswoman: well today that style is on sale for a meager $3,000
Aphrodite: Of Course. (looks at Hera and whispers to her) how is it Kagome is not even biologically your child yet she has inherited from you your expensive taste?
Hera: I have no idea. Maybe I've just rubbed off.
Aphrodite: now I wish Inuyasha had come with us (is still whispering to Hera) his money would be able to pay for the dress)
Hera: It doesn't matter, we can either pay now, or postpone it and pay later. Besides, we don't want Inuyasha to see it, do we?
Aphrodite: good point after all Inuyasha would like the nice surprise.
Hera: Of course, and it is bad luck, you know.
Aphrodite: it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding but we can hardly do anything about that after all Zeus has Kagome and Inuyasha both in his cabin due to the fact that when Naraku was a live he had used those good for nothing illusionary death vines scared inuyasha so horribly by making it seem that Kagome had been killed.
Hera: Of course, I had forgotten that part, but I was concerned about the dress at the moment.
Saleswoman well the dress she is wearing can be bought to day and delivered to her home or you can purchase it today and we will hold it for her till she comes to pick it up near the day of her wedding or whatever you ladies choose.
Hera: Okay, well, we'll probably leave it here until the day she is done with all of the fittings, and for safekeeping.
Saleswoman: a very good choice I will hold the gown here until the day of her wedding. (smiles)
Aphrodite: (smiles) I will handle paying for the dress since we still need to put some money down on the tab so that they don't get confused. (smiles at Hera)
Hera: Of course. I understand. *smiles*
Aphrodite: (hands the Sales woman about $3,000 to hold the dress till next summer when they would come by to pick up the dress)
Saleswoman: *smiles* thank you very much! And thank you for shopping with us.
Aphrodite: (smiles as they walk out of the store deciding they had best make sure Inuyasha didn't get himself hopelessly lost)
(the group starts walking down the street when they see Sesshomaru and Artemis but Sesshomaru seems really out of temper he is standing protectively in front of Artemis and has the Tokijin sword pointed at some young man and he's looking to say the least very threatening)
Sesshomaru: You ever touch her like that again you pervert and I will cut you into so many pieces even the vultures won't find them all. you get me?
The young man: (cringing from this man) I was only admiring your lady friends fine curves. I meant now harm.
Artemis: Well, that is not for you to admire, now is it? Move along before we both kill you.
Sesshomaru: (re -sheaths Tokijin as the young man runs for his life) I can't believe that man tried to pull a miroku on you my dear.
Kagome: uh Sesshomaru what just happened?
Artemis: That man just tried to grope me... Much like your son, Hera.
Hera: (smiles) well you can hardly blame the men for targeting you Artemis after all you are an attractive woman.
Artemis: Thank you, but still...
Sesshomaru: she already has someone though I respect her boundaries and her desire to remain a maiden and I will abide by her wishes as far as that goes. in all other aspects she is my wife and I will not have people doing that to her. it is disrespectful for one thing, and it is just plain wrong for another thing.
Aphrodite: That is true. *smiles*
Sesshomaru: (looks at Aphrodite and for some reason finds her smile is creeping him out but knows better than to let her know that) So where is my little brother is he not with your girls?
Kagome: No, he went to find a bank.
Sesshomaru: his grandmother is with him I hope to make sure he makes a good decision.
Kagome: Unfortunately not... We thought of that after
he left.
Sesshomaru: (Looks at them) you let him go looking for a bank in a city he has not been in before alone? you do realise he has probably gotten himself hopelessly lost.
Kagome: We do... Should we look for him?
Sesshomaru: yes and you may need my help. since I have some skill in locating my baby brother. (looks at Artemis) if you want honey you can head home and play with our little girl or you can come along with us as we try to locate Inuyasha.
Artemis: I'll help look, I'm a Huntress.
Sesshomaru: Alright then let's head out.
(helps Artemis on to his shoulders as he had done on the day they had gone to rescue Asagi and Rin from the Panther demons) A half demon like my baby brother probably will stick out like a sore thumb.
Inuyasha: (is wandering around trying to find a good bank but soon realises he is not only not any closer to finding a good bank but is now himself totally lost)
Sesshomaru: (as he and the group begin to approach the area where Inuyasha is close to) Artemis any sign of Inuyasha?
Artemis: Is that him, there?
Sesshomaru: (looks up to see what she was looking at) I would say that is him but I didn't recognise him with out his dog ears hanging out.
Inuyasha: (looks up) oh thank goodness. (is relieved to see that he may actually not be as lost as he had suspected)
Aphrodite: There you are, Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru: Little brother you should know better than to go wandering off by yourself if you don't know the layout of the place.
Inuyasha: I needed to find a bank to deposit my money in so that it would be safe. after all I am pretty sure you didn't leave your part of what father left us under your bed.
Sesshomaru: that is very true my brother. with Artemis' help (actually had some sense when it came to banks and money oddly enough) I put much my half of the inheritance into the Swiss banks under the advice of my darling wife Artemis. and a couple thousand is in investments of all different sorts. (is actually starting out with about thirty different investments even before he has even gone to school)
Inuyasha: The Swiss bank?
Sesshomaru: yeah where most people who have the kind of large sums of money like we have, put their money. their money earns about 20% interest and the banks are some of the most heavily guarded in the world.
Artemis: I may not have learned alot from my sister Athena but I learned financial wisdom of a sort.
Inuyasha: Well, where is it? I'm lost.
Sesshomaru: come on bro I will take you to where we can wire your money over to the Swiss banks and you can start saving up for yours and Kagome's future as husband and wife. (knows inuyasha wants to make enough money to support Kagome in as much comfort as he can)
Artemis: to get to the Swiss banks you litterally have to send your money out of country right to Switzerland.
Sesshomaru and I were just heading home from sending his money to the Swiss banks when some jerk tried to do like Miroku likes to do with women.
Inuyasha: Dirty pervert... Well shall we go?
Sesshomaru: (smiles) Alright brother (leads him to the place he had just come back from and just as he had done with his money now helps inuyasha to do with his money. wiring it all the way to Switzerland's banking system just as he had done. of course remembering to stop just before taking him to do that taking him to get a post office box so that when his bank book and stuff came he could get it since he figured there would be a hard time getting mail over at the camp Inuyasha and Kagome were living at.)
Inuyasha: Thank you, Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru: not a problem Inuyasha. (smiles) see you and your girl and your friends later Artemis and I need to get home to rin.
Inuyasha: Okay. See you later. *smiles*
Kagome: (heads home with Inuyasha, Aphrodite, and Hera) well this was a fun excursion.
Hera: Successful too. *smiles*
Kagome: yep. (smiles happily)
Inuyasha: my money is now safe and sound and I am assuming you guys had good luck finding a wedding dress.
Aphrodite: Extreme luck.
Inuyasha: (smiles) well that is good to hear. ( as they finally approach the camp and head on in)
Zeus: You're back!
Kagome: yep.
Zeus: How'd it go?
Inuyasha: (smiles) everything was good I got my money safely stowed thanks to my brother Sesshomaru.
Zeus: That's great news! How did shopping go, Kagome?
Kagome: it went splendidly. (smiles)
Aphrodite: (walks over to Zeus and whispers to him) we found a gown that all of us liked with out even batting an eyelash.
Zeus: Right off the bat?
Aphrodite: yep right off the bat it was and despite not being Hera's child biologically Kagome has some how inherited Hera's love of expensive things.
Zeus: That doesn't surprise me in the least.
Aphrodite: oh how come?
Zeus: I think Kagome is just someone that likes high class. It's her personality.
Aphrodite: I wonder who she gets that from. (basically indicating that since Kagome's father was the king of the gods that would have something to do with Kagome's likes and dislikes.)
Zeus: I am the king, and I do like lavish items, so most likely me.
Aphrodite: yeah that sounds about right.
Kagome: (smiles as she watches Zeus and Aphrodite banter)
Hera: What's up, Kagome?
Kagome: watching Dad and Aphrodite talk about where I got my interest in expensive items. (remember how they had all liked that wedding dress)
Hera: Oh! *laughs* Because you can't actually had gotten if from me.
Kagome: Aphrodite seems to think I got it in my genetic makeup from dad.
which I must say at least sounds plausible.
Hera: It most definitely is.
Inuyasha: well I think we can at least say you had fun shopping with Kagome. (smiles at Hera)
Hera: I had a lot of fun. *smiles*
Zeus: (after watching Aphrodite go skipping off to her cabin to see her children turns to look at Hera) So you had a wonderful time and now you see what you have been missing all these years. (looks smug)
Hera: Oh, be quiet. Some people need to learn on their own. *smiles*
Zeus: yes lucky for me I have a wife who indeed can be taught. some people never learn and some just take alittle over three thousand years to learn.
Hera: And I'm one of the ones that takes a really long time...
Zeus: so what if it took you so long to learn the fact is that you have learned it and know you can move forward with your knowledge and lead a happier and more fulfilled life.
Hera: I do know, and I'm ashamed it took so long to figure it out.
Zeus: (goes over and hugs Hera) it is alright. everyone makes mistakes. the important thing is learning from the mistakes we make and you have. this is a proud, proud moment.
Chiron: (since they had gotten home from all their errands around dinner time now calls them to dinner)
Kagome: *sitting down at the table* Hello, Ai. *smiles*
Ai: Hi Kagome. (smiles)
Inuyasha: (smiles as he sits down next to Kagome) Hello Ai.
Ai: hi Inuyasha.
Ai: (looks at her daddy) Hi Daddy. (smiles had been training with Clarisse and Shion with the sword and daggers)
Zeus: How was your training today?
Ai: I am getting better. though Clarisse says I still have along way to go she says that I need to learn to have more strength in my steps and my movements when attacking.
Zeus: *smiles* In time, you will get there.
Ai: (smiles)
Inuyasha: (smiles as they all soon finish all their rituals and finally sit down to eat)
Zeus: So, we all had a good day today, right?
Inuyasha: yeah both Kagome and I had a great day. though Sesshomaru had a pretty rough day. (thinking back to what Sesshomaru had told him about the pervert who tried to hit on Artemis)
Zeus: What happened to him?
Inuyasha: let's just say he had to threaten death to a young pervert for pulling a miroku on Artemis.
Zeus: Oh... Not a good idea.
Inuyasha: yeah not a good idea for the pervert Sesshomaru does not like it when people go near those he calls friends or family.
Zeus: No... What exactly did he threaten?
Kagome: (had actually been infront of him when he had threatened the man as had Aphrodite, and Hera) Uh he had his tokijin sword out and told the man that if he ever tried to touch Artemis like that again he would cut him into so many pieces even the vultures would not find them.
Zeus: He paints such a colorful picture, doesn't he?
Inuyasha: yeah I think he scared the man really bad.
Kagome: yeah and I don't think Artemis appreciated being touched like that either something in the look of her face just told me she was close to the point of boiling over.
Zeus: I don't think we should let the two of them out near those kinds of people anymore. That's quite a hazardous combination.
Inuyasha: uh I am sorry to say this Zeus but I don't think you will be able to stop that from happening. considering that just to do everyday activities like going shopping for groceries and stuff they need for Rin they will encounter perverts. they must both just learn to live with them just like when I was a child I had to learn to live with the bullies that liked to pick fights with me.
Zeus: I know, there is no way to stay away from them. It's just not going to be pretty...
Hera: well there is one way to keep them away from such situations and that would be to have Sesshomaru and his new family move into the camp and stay either in Artemis' cabin or at the big house until a more permenant fix to their predicament could be found.
Inuyasha: Hera you would have no luck convincing my brother Sesshomaru to move his family from where they are currently to here. not in a million years.
Kagome: I must agree with Inuyasha if nothing else Sesshomaru is stiff necked and hard headed.
Zeus: No, he's moving here. He's going to school to start a business empire.
Kagome: (looks at her father her face twisted with confusion)
Zeus: He's decided that it would be easier on everyone if he moved the estate here. After all, there isn't much left of the original one.
Kagome: so he is planning to live here in the modern time and start a business empire?
Zeus: Exactly. That's what he's planning.
Kagome: cool I wish him the best of luck.
Hera: yes but what I was suggesting is that we have him move his family for now into the camp until he finds some land to build on and until we can find a permenant fix to his problem with perverts.
they could use Artemis' cabin or we could have Chiron and Dionysus put them up at the big house.
Zeus: I think the Artemis cabin will suit them just fine until then.
Inuyasha: I wish you and Hera good luck in convincing my brother to move from his little cave.
Zeus: We should also see if we can help him look for land, so he doesn't have to stay long...
Hera: Of course but at least he will have to stay long enough to see the wedding. after all how many times will he get the chance to see his baby brother get married.
Zeus: Of course, he'll be here. Even if they do move, they can come visit in time for the main event.
Hera: true enough. (smiles)
Inuyasha: Like I said I wish you both luck Sesshomaru is a stubborn demon.
Hera: you need not worry Inuyasha. I am going to go suggest it to him and Artemis after dinner.
(soon Dinner ends and Hera watches her husband lead both of his kids and Inuyasha back to the Zeus cabin and then she sets off to Sesshomaru's cave finding him up and talking with Artemis who is cradling a sleeping rin)
Hera: Ah just the two I wanted to have words with.
Artemis: Yes, what is it?
Hera: listen I would feel better Artemis if you and Sesshomaru and your huntresses and your daughter rin and even her nurse and Sesshomaru's little imp of a servant moved back on to camp half blood's grounds and into your cabin that way you would have less chance of running into perverts like what you faced to day.
