Summary: The final battle has ended and Kagome has to go back to her own time. After a while she gets on her feet but trouble soon meets the Higurashi family. And now she's stuck as the vice-president of Seika High. Keep in mind that Misaki is not poor and lives an ordinary life, except for the problems she has with her father, which is the cause of her hatred to men.

Chapter 10 X Boys Problems
"Next Wednesday?" Kagome repeated as she looked up from herdesk at Sakura and Shizuko. "Yeah! Are you free after class? Let's have a great party!" Sakura cheered.
"It's a tea party with some band members." Shizuko cleared after looking at Kagome's confused face. "Well, they're students of Yumesaki High." Her face filled dread as she remembered the last concert she was forced to go to.
"They're on an indie label, but they're really popular! It's a great opportunity, and they told me to bring my friends!" Sakura said excited.
"Sakura is apparently in love with the band's singer, so she doesn't want to miss it." Sakura's face turned red as flowers popped up around her. "Yada! Shizuko, stop, you're embarrassing me!" She said loudly while pushing the girl away.
"L-Love?" Kagome sweat-dropped, watching the girl. "Un! I'm crazy about him!" Sakura turned to Kagome with a small smile. "That's why I want to introduce you to him. Are you free next week?" She urged again.
"Eh, uhm… shouldn't you ask Misaki-san?" Kagome tried to talk her way out, but Misaki had apparently beaten her to it. "Misaki-chan said she'll be busy, but that you'll be free!" Sakura answered, hope sparkled in her eyes making it harder for Kagome to decline.
"I get it… I'll go…"
"Yatta!" Sakura hugged Kagome tightly.
"Are? Vice, you're not going home yet? The Student Council meeting has already finished, hasn't it? Even Kaichou went home." Takumi stood next to the door, looking at Kagome work.
Kagome was looking over some papers. "Well, I want to free up a day next week, so I thought I'd start on that day's duties." She said, a tick mark suddenly appeared on her face. "Thanks to Misaki-san, I'm stuck with an appointment I rather not go to."
"You've got something next week?" Takumi inquired stepping in the room, walking towards Kagome's desk. He halted when he saw a familiar first year stand outside, eying him while he was being dragged to a car. 'Serves you right, brat.' Takumi secretly smirked watching Kanrei go.
"Sakura-chan said she wants to get together after class." Kagome said her eyes still focused on the paper. "Just the two of you?" He proceeded to ask. "No, Shizuko too."
"What are you all doing?" He continued to ask his question. "I don't remember the name. It's some band." Kagome said as she stacked the papers. "A boy band?" Takumi's eyes narrowed.
"Un." Kagome's didn't move from her objective. "But you don't know them?" He concluded, Kagome finally snapped and looked up from her work. "Look, shut up already! If you're not gonna help me then just go home already!"
Takumi took a seat across of her and grabbed some of the papers and started filling them. "Eh…?" Kagome looked on as he helped her out. "So, what will you all be doing?" He asked.
Kagome sighed and took her seat, continuing her work. "Talking at a coffee shop or something, I guess…" the boy stopped in his track and looked at her. "That's…" Kagome met his eyes. "What? You want to say something, don't you?"
"Iie, it's just unusual for you to do something like that." He said coldly and continued. Kagome also went back to her work. "Yeah… I don't think I've done something after school since middle school." A small smile came on her lips. "I guess that's why I'm actually looking forward to it!"
Kagome listened to the song that played out of her cd player, after receiving one of the band's albums from Sakura to listen. "Moving and happy, huh…" Kagome sweat-dropped as she pushed the pause button.
"There's less, recently…" Souta suddenly began from besides her. They were sitting at the dining table "Less…?" Kagome repeated. "Of these postcards." Souta said as he repeatedly wrote the same things.
"You can apply online more often than not." Kagome took a hold of the magazine by his side and read through it. "What can you win in this magazine's giveaway?" She asked.
"Crab."
"…Crab…?"
Souta nodded, not looking up from his cards. "Isn't this a music magazine?" Kagome asked as she sweat-dropped. "Well, it doesn't have to be crab." Souta then said.
Kagome kept going through the pages until her eyes landed on a familiar group of boys. 'I guess they're popular.' She thought as she read the article.
*Humming*
Kagome couldn't get the song out of her head as she changed into her maid uniform. "Is that Yumemishi?!" Satsuki popped up from behind the lockers after hearing the girl.
"Manager, you know them?" Kagome asked curious. "Of course." The woman immediately answered. "They're an indie-label band but super popular! I only got into them recently though. I was thinking of doing a "Glam-Rock Day" event here at the shop."
"A Glam-Rock Day?" Kagome questioned uncertain what to picture in front of her. She quickly got dressed and went out in the shop to serve.
"Understood. If you'll excuse me." Kagome gave the order to the kitchen and looked around. 'Now that I think of it…' Her eyes went of the men in the café. 'I haven't seem them recently, SanBaka.' A relieved smile came on her face. 'Hopefully they're at home studying or something.'
"How unexpected." Shizuko suddenly said. The day neared for them to meet Sakura's favorite band, she couldn't stop talking about them. "What is?" Kagome turned to her after seeing Sakura leave for the vending machine.
"That you'd attend Sakura's tea party." Shizuko continued. "Rock bands are a completely different world from you." Kagome laughed a little. "What can I say? Seeing Sakura-chan all happy like that, I want to support her. It's a shame that Misaki-san couldn't come too."
"I just hope everything goes well…" Shizuko muttered under her breath. Kagome looked to her confused, but she shook it off. "Sorry for waiting!" They saw Sakura running towards them with drinks in her hands.
Finally the day had come, Kagome and Shizuko followed Sakura to the café they had promised to meet.
"Welcome!"
Kagome looked up to the side and saw the three idiots she hoped were doing other things.
'K-Kago-chan?!'
*Sighs*
'I hope they won't cause any trouble…' Kagome ignored them and sat down in the middle of the booth. Sakura pulled out her mirror and began fixing her hair. "Shizuko, what do you think of my bangs?" She asked.
"That is the sixth time you've asked that today." Shizuko replied coldly trying to get her attention glued to the menu. "Mou! Mou! Today is a special day!" Sakura pouted.
Kagome looked between the two, not sure whether it was a good idea to sit in-between them. "Kagome-chan, Shizuko is so cold!" She started wining to the raven-haired. "Don't worry Sakura-chan." A smile came on her face. "They're perfect!"
"Really?! Arigatou, Kagome-chan!" The pink-haired girl embraced her friend, feeling relieved from the tension. Kagome couldn't help herself and smile. 'I'm glad I came.'
On cue the doors opened, relieving a handsome group of boys. Sakura perked up when she saw them. "Kuuga-kun!" She waved at them to come over. The guys noticed her and waved, walking towards them.
Kagome's eyes were on the blonde boy, observing the way Sakura blushed around him. 'So he's the guy Sakura-chan likes.' They sat across of them, making Kagome wonder if Misaki should've come, since there were three girls and four boys.
"Well, we should introduce ourselves." The boy, Kuuga, proposed and so the introduction started.
"I'm Shou, the guitarist." Said the guy sitting by the window. "I'm Kou, the bassist." The one with the glasses besides him said. "I'm Kuuga, the singer!" The blond guy said excited. "I'm the drummer, William Adam Yuuji." The last one said.
"Y-You're a foreigner?" Kagome couldn't resist asking feeling dread come up. "Good one, Kagome-chan!" William started laughing. "Nice rebound!" Kuuga added his eyes focused on Kagome. "Shouldn't we ask that? Blue eyes are rare here."
Kagome shook her head. "Ah, iie… I got it from my father but we're Japanese." Her eyes strayed away. "Oh, Sakura-chan, I'll give you that poster I told you about as a special present." Kuuga switched his attention to the fan.
"Huh? Really?!" Sakura took the poster; her excitement grew the more she looked at it. "Kya! They're so cool!" She squealed. Kagome sweat-dropped and slowly slumped away in her seat. 'It's no good. I can't keep up with Sakura-chan's sensibilities.'
Her eyes went to Shizuko, hoping that she could help out. But Shizuko's whole body language said that she wasn't interested in anything other than watching the people outside. "People are like garbage…" They could her whisper.
'She's totally unconcerned!' Kagome slumped her shoulders in defeat. "It's really, really not a dream, right?" Sakura began talking, causing a questioning look from the boys. "Right now, having you all here in front of me! I still can't believe it… I'm so glad I became a fan!"
William laughed lightly. "You're exaggerating." Sakura quickly cut him off before he could say anything else. "No, I'm not! I love you guys. When I heard Kuuga's singing…" A blush came on to her cheeks. "I was so happy… I thought my heart would stop."
Kagome listened to the girl and smiled. 'So what if I can't keep up with her sensibilities? Sakura is in love. She's so very happy, and I want to support her.' She began laughing with her as the conversation went on, not noticing a certain pair of eyes on her.
"Still, just two friends… There was no point in bringing those 20 tickets!" Kou whined as he and Kuuga went to the men's toilet, washing their hands. "Let's stop doing these stupid fan events. We've got enough people coming to our shows." The blonde said
"Sure enough, that one girl is crazy about you." Kou commented. "I like girls with long, black hair." Kuuga turned to Kou with a smirk on his face.
"The other girl said she's Kagome, right? I'm gonna get her."
"A live?" Kagome looked at the ticket in her hands. "Hai! What do you say, Kagome-chan? It will be so much fun!" Kuuga smiled brightly, Kagome sweat-dropped nervously. "I, uhm, I don't have much free time…"
"And what about you?" Kou turned to ask Shizuko, who kept her attention outside. "I'll pass, thanks." She quickly decline. "What a waste!" Sakura noted turning to her idol. "These tickets are hard to come by, aren't they, Kuuga-" She couldn't finish, as Kuuga started talking again.
"So, can't you find a way to come, Kagome-chan?" He asked her. Kagome's eyes darted to Sakura before going to him. "Huh? I don't have money either, so…"
"Then I'll give you that ticket for free."
Kagome didn't know what to do, she felt pressure and she was sure that Sakura noticed it too.
"You'll come, right?" Kuuga asked with a bright smile on his face. "Uhm… well… S-Sakura-chan, are you going?" Kagome quickly asked of her. Sakura perked up. "Huh? Yeah, of course!"
"Sakura-chan always comes, huh?" William noted. "Oh! You're the model fan, huh? She's always talking about Yumemishi…" Kagome said with a smile. "You really like them, don't you?" Sakura became bashful.
"So, Kagome-chan…"
A small tick mark appeared on her face as she turned to the singer. "About our live show. You can't come, is that it?" Kagome quickly stood up with the excuse of going to the toilet.
When she was finally alone, she thought about what continued to happen. "Is it just me…?" She muttered to herself. "I feel like that Kuuga guy is only talking to me. What should I do about Sakura-chan?"
With a sight she left the toilet only to be greeted by Kou and Kuuga. "Hey there!" Kuuga greeted cheerfully, startling Kagome. "What are you doing here?" She asked them suspiciously.
"Oh, I thought you and I could have a little talk…" Kuuga strayed off with a smile still on his lips. "Then let's do so once we're back at our seats." Kagome calmly stated as she tried to walk past them.
But Kuuga came to stand in her path, forcing her to take steps back. "Nah, no way." His sweet smile disappeared into a mean smirk. "The others are covering for me."
Kagome eyes tightened looking at him. "What are you saying? You know how Sakura-chan feels, don't you?" She questioned him. "Un, but I don't feel that way for her." He brushed it off. "Then why did you invite her?" She asked them.
"As an event for the fans, of course." Kuuga's professional smile came back. "But she seems like she's smitten. She's sure to get her feelings hurt." Kou added. "I can't hang out with just anyone. I have to decide who makes the cut." Kuuga continued.
"That's…" Kagome lowered her head, hiding her face with her bangs as the words left her lips. "It's what?" Kuuga's smirk came back as he took another step closer, until her back touched the wall.
"It's kindness… My compassion to the fans." He kept talking. "If they're going to get hurt better sooner than later, right?" Kagome's eyes widen at the words.
"Oi!" Kou stepped in, warning his friend of going to far. "Still…" Kuuga ignored him and took a strand of Kagome's long hair. "If you became a fan…that would be a different story, because then I'll have your blue eyes for myself."
*Swing*
Kagome's vision was suddenly blocked by a silver plate. Her eyes trailed to the owner and recognize a certain blond with green eyes. "My apologies for the wait. I shall now take your orders."
"Takumi?!" Kagome exclaimed shocked, he had forced Kuuga to back away while pushing his tray on him. "What are you doing here?!" Kagome asked.
"Who is this guy?!" Kuuga grew pissed at the carefree guy that stood in his way. "Friend of yours, Kagome-chan?" Kou stared at the guy, following the situation. "Isn't he her boyfriend? Judging by the timing, at least?"
"No!" Kagome frantically shook her head no. "Then what?!" Kuuga shouted, demanding an answer. Takumi turned to him with a smug grin.
"I'm just a stalker."
The room went silent.
"Fine, then call another of the staff." Kuuga brushed it off, but Kagome stopped him. "Matte! He's a stalker but not really a stalker…" Her reasoning grew weak as she became more and more nervous. His eyes went to her, seeing a small blush on her face.
"I see." He sighed and started to walk back to the group with Kou. "I've had it. Enjoy yourselves." He said leaving them alone.
A knowing smirk came and Takumi's face. "A stalker but not really a stalker? Then what?" Kagome blushed as she turned to him. "L-Look, what are you doing? When did you start working here?"
"I didn't." Takumi said in a matter-of-fact way. "Then this uniform…?" Kagome looked at his getup, suddenly remembering the SanBaka. "Well, I ran into an associate and… got the urge to take it from him."
"There's something wrong with you as a human." Kagome said as she slammed her hand in her face. "I can't help it." He suddenly said. "Even I get irritated sometimes." He turned his body to face Kagome, slowly backing her up to the wall once again.
"Eh…? Ah… Even if you say so, it's just…" Kagome muttered, feeling herself becoming nervous with her back against the wall. "Also," Takumi continued. "I have a very strong desire to monopolize." He watched as a red came on her cheeks, her eyes darting around.
"I can't forgive what happened just now." Kagome watched wide-eyed as his face came closer. "It has nothing to do with what just happened, has it?" Kagome protested, pushing Takumi away. Her eyes lowered to the ground.
"Also, don't get me wrong." Kagome quickly said, her blush reddening. "I'm just tagging along with Sakura-chan today." The image of the girl flashed through her mind. "Sakura-chan… was looking forward to this. And yet, this happened…"
Takumi smiled. "What's with that face, Kagome?" He questioned, she swiftly avoided his eyes, trying to hide her face with her hand. "It can't be helped. Since I don't know much about these things… and the best way to handle them…"
"Best…?" Takumi repeated. "No one knows that, right?" He grabbed her hand, taking it away from her face. His other hand cupped her cheek, forcing her to look at him. When she did, he kept quiet, only giving her a simple smile before walking away.
Kagome was left behind in a daze. She shook her head, coming back to reality. "What's wrong with him, geez…"
"Ano, Kuuga-kun…" Sakura tried to start up a conversation. "You're gonna sing your new song in the next live concert, right?"
The singer looked outside, uninterested. "Uhm…hmm…" He answered in a bored tone. "I'm really looking forward to it." Sakura tried to stay positive, but received an uncaring answer. "I see…"
"Uhm, what kind of song will it be?" Sakura continued with an awkward smile. "Beats me." Kuuga replied indifferent. "Ah, gomennasai, for asking such things…" Sakura felt her confidence shrink away by the minute. At that moment Kuuga started yawning, almost pointing it out how boring it had become.
"Say…" Kuuga suddenly began, making the girl perk up. "Can you do something about it?" He asked, turning to her. "You're close to her, right, Sakura-chan?" Motioning to Kagome's empty seat. "Ah, hai!"
"Then bring her to the live concert!" He watched Sakura turn her head away in shame, as she was trying to search for the words to use. "Kagome-chan is busy with various things. She's also the Student Council vice-president."
"Eh?!" Kuuga leaned over the table, suddenly fascinated with what she had to say. "Kagome-chan is the vice-president? That's awesome!" Sakura was taken back by his words. "She's cute, stylish and to top it off, a Student Council vice-president as well. Isn't that great?!"
Sakura looked away, she couldn't face him. She knew how much of a beauty Kagome actually was. She was the Angelic Vice after all. However it pained her that Kuuga was also interested in her, while she knew Kagome wasn't to blame it still hurts.
"Say, can I ask a favor from you?" Kuuga said, making her look up. "Do you know if she's seeing anyone?" Sakura looked away again, unable to answer truthfully. "Ah, Kagome-chan! Welcome back!" She heard Kuuga greet the girl.
Kagome felt hesitant around the boy, but held her breath as she took her seat. "Ne, Kagome-chan." Sakura suddenly began, not looking Kagome in the eye. "Can you go with me to the live concert? I'm sure Yukimura-kun would be happy to take some of your work, since he's the vice-president assistant and all."
She turned to the shrine maiden with a forced smile on her face. "Seems like Kuuga-kun really wants you to come." Kagome's eyes widen, quickly shifting to the boy before looking back at Sakura, who faced the front.
"He was talking about you while you were away. Kuuga-kun… about… Kagome-chan…" She finished timidly. Kagome aimed her heated glare at the young singer, her blue eyes seeming darker than normal.
However the guy let out a whistle before leaning over the table, trying to start a conversation with her. "I heard that you're the Student Council vice-president? For someone like you who's always busy and working seriously, you need to take a break sometimes."
Kagome noticed that Sakura kept quiet, having her head hung low. "If you can't go to the live concert, how 'bout the amusement park then?" Kuuga kept talking. "You look like an obedient girl, but you're pretty wild underneath, right? I wonder if being smart means being able to handle guys well…"
"Oi, Kuuga!" Kou raised his voice, noticing that his friend had gone too far. But Kuuga didn't listen and continued. "Was that guy from just now one of your playmates? You're really bold, aren't you?"
"…yamete…"
"Does your silence mean that I'm right?" Kuuga smirked as he watched Kagome's glare tighten.
"…onegai…"
"Oh, I didn't know that Seika's vice-president is that wild!"
"YAMETE!"
Sakura had stood up, slamming her hands on the table. The room got quiet, while all eyes were on her. "Onegai…" She softly spoke. "Don't talk about Kagome-chan in that way."
"Sakura-chan…" Kagome whispered the name softly to herself. "Sakura-chan, are you coming to hate me now?" Kuuga asked with a smile. "Oi, Kuuga! Weren't you the one who told us to treasure the fans?" Kou interfered. "Public relations, right?" The guy answered.
"I don't need this." All eyes went to Kagome who spoke calmly, her face hidden by her bangs. "So this is the kindness that you mentioned?" She also stood up, with her hands left on the table. "It's my first time seeing someone stooping so low." An image of a despicable spider went through her head as she left out a sad chuckle. "Iie, it wouldn't be the first."
"I don't understand you at all." She continued. "Do you know how much Sakura-chan has been looking forward to today? And yet you're trampling all over her feelings."
"Are?" Kuuga laughed innocently. "Are you coming to hate me too, Kagome-chan?" A tick mark appeared as Kagome looked up to glare at the blonde. "Of course! You're making it easy!"
In a blink of a moment had Kagome grabbed his tie and pulled it towards her, forcing Kuuga to lean further over the table.
"Don't you dare treat Sakura-chan that way!"
Her grip tightened as she brought his face even closer. A dark expression came on her face that her friends didn't recognize.
"Otherwise I'll fry your ass with an arrow!"
"Gomennasai…"
Kagome bowed deeply as she felt the gloom aura of her friend weigh down on her. "Iie, I'm still mad! You were yelling so loudly in the café! And that vulgar use of language; "I'll fry your ass with an arrow" are you insane?!" Shizuko yelled loudly.
"Think of others, no matter how mad you are! You just don't have enough tolerance!" Shizuko's rain of terror lasted a while before Kagome truthfully gave up. "G-Gomennasai…"
Shizuko's glasses glinted towards Sakura. "You too, Sakura! Have you completely forgotten what I told you?! I told you to choose the guys carefully since you're easily deceived!"
Sakura started crying. "I did!" She tried to defend herself, but her argument got quickly shut down. "You need to have a better eye for guys!"
"Shizuko-san is almost as scary as Sesshoumaru-sama back in the days…" Kagome muttered as she tried to control the shivers that went down her spine. Shizuko glared at her, apparently hearing what she had said. "I was in a tense situation which built up my stress."
"Shizuko is not kind at all!" Sakura whined loudly. "Because I know you'll never get anywhere if I spoil you!" the girl went back to her scolding. Kagome couldn't help but smile a bit as she tried to stop her friend. "Maa, Shizuko-san…"
"Kagome-chan…!" Sakura ran over her before she could say much and began crying on her chest. Out of habit with Kanrei, she immediately wrapped her hands around the girl, while softly patting her head. "It's alright." She softly hummed.
Sakura looked up at her with surprised eyes before hugging the miko even closer. "The next time I fall in love. I'll make sure he'll be someone who'll pat me just like this." Sakura said with a smile.
"I hope you'll find that someone soon, Sakura-chan."
Eyes stared hopelessly at the amount of stairs in her path. "After all that, I'm in no mood to climb all these steps…" Kagome muttered as she leaned against the Tori of her home, but the instant she heard a crack she was up on her feet again. "I'm not even that heavy…"
*Sigh*
"Should I carry you, Kago-sama?" A mocking voice came from behind her, startling her a little. "Ah, geez, Takumi! What are you doing here? I know you don't live around here."
Takumi didn't answer as he began climbing the stairs. "How's Kanrei? Is he still delusional?" He asked. Kagome looked at him strangely before going after him. "Ah… uhm… Yeah, he's getting better."
'That was close…' Kagome looked away, as if trying to hide the lie that was showing on her face. 'I almost forgot I gave him that excuse for Kanrei's unusual behavior as well as him calling me Okaa-san. Something along the lines of me resembling his mother…'
"Kagome…?"
"Ah, hai?!" Kagome looked at him, seeing that they somehow had reached the front door. "Eh? Wait, you didn't tell me why you're here." Kagome stood in front of her door as if to protect her home.
"Your otouto asked me, in place of your mom, to walk you home since you would be farther away than normal." Takumi smirked as Kagome's eyes widen in disbelieve.
"Since when do you and my brother talk?" Kagome questioned shocked, until a phone was shoved in her face, showing a familiar phone-number and email-address. Takumi showed her the interactions of the two, mostly existing out of her information and baby pictures in exchange for High School formulas and homework explanation.
"Souta… you traitor…" Kagome grumbled as she raised her fist up. "No wonder he stopped asking me for help."
"What's with all the ruckus?"
The door opened from behind Kagome revealing an older woman, whom Kagome had a striking resembles to if it wasn't for the hair and eyes. "Ara, Usui-kun, thank you for going through the trouble." Kun-loon bowed at the sight of the boy.
"Iie, it was nothing." Takumi smiled kindly. "Who are you…?" Kagome muttered under her breath as she glared at him. "Why won't you have dinner with us, the more the merrier!"
"Mama…?!"
"I would be grateful." Takumi followed the woman inside the house to the kitchen. "M-Mama… you too…?" She muttered after the two, stretching her arm to them, somehow hoping to stop them. "My whole family has betrayed me."
Kagome walked dejected inside, quickly sneaking up stairs to change in something more comfortable, before joining them in the living room.
"Ah, Kagome, could you help cut the fish."
"Sure." Kagome replied as she made her way. But she halted in her steps when she noticed an odd duo sitting at the table. "Sesshoumaru-sama, Kanrei-kun, I didn't realize you would stop by today."
"Hn."
They both mused in greeting, Kanrei not breaking away from his glare at Takumi, while Sesshoumaru kept observing the younger boy. Takumi ignored Kanrei, since he was like that at school too, instead his eyes were focused on the older man.
"Uhm, well… Sesshoumaru-sama, this is Usui Takumi, he my classmate." Kagome introduced, ignoring the sound her little brother made while playing his video game.
"You mean the young man that follows you around? Kanrei told me." Sesshoumaru said, not breaking eye contact. "So this is the brat's father, huh?" Takumi said, ignoring Kagome's call on his rudeness. "The person you wouldn't want to let down."
Kagome sighed, finding the need to clear something up. "Look, Sesshoumaru-sama is indeed someone who I don't want to disappoint, but you're completely misunderstanding our relationship."
"The miko had eyes for this Sesshoumaru's brother, Inuyasha."
Kagome snapped her head to the demon, with an angry glare. Reiki started to flare up in the room, threatening the lord from uttering a single word. Even Kanrei backed away from his glare, staring fearfully at the woman, imaginary ears flattened to his skull.
Takumi suddenly felt his body tremble almost in fear, as if something unnatural happened. But it quickly went away as it came. "That's right, uhm… how to say it." Kagome took a seat beside the boy, facing him. "Sesshoumaru-sama is the older brother of… my deceased boyfriend."
Takumi turned to her; this was the first time she actually talked about her former lover. Always muttering vague things about him. He didn't know he died, and as if she read his mind she told him that it was a long time ago.
"But since we were all familiar with each other, I still held contact with Sesshoumaru-sama. It's how I met Kanrei-kun." Kagome smiled softly at the young black haired boy before turning back to Takumi. "I've moved on, and at the moment I'm very happy."
"Well said, Kagome." Her mother joined the table, setting down plates of food before them. Souta agreed as he also took a seat. "A lot of things have happened here, but we've remained strong." Kun-look spoke as she looked around the table happily.
"It's been a while since we had a full table." She smiled. "Let's eat!"
"Itadakimasu!" They all said together before digging in their food.
"Just so you know, I've haven't acknowledge you yet!" Kanrei spoke with a full mouth, glaring at the blonde who ate peacefully. "I won't hand Kagome-sama to the likes of you!" He said determined, placing his feet on the table as if trying to threaten Takumi.
"C-Chotto! Kanrei-kun, that's bad manners! Get off the table this instant!" Kagome shouted as she stood up. "Listen to you caretaker, pup." Sesshoumaru said stoically as he calmly took another bite.
"This Sesshoumaru does approve him, he has potential." The others looked at him in disbelieve. "Demo, Otou-sama!" Kanrei tried to protest, pointing an accusing finger at the human.
"He has tainted Okaa-san' lips!"
"K-Kanrei!" Kagome's face turned red, she tried to avoid the curious look her mother gave and ignored the disgusted sounds her brother made. "She took the initiative the second time." She heard a voice speak coolly beside her.
"Eh?! Takumi?!"
"Oh my, you already kissed two times!" Kun-loon clapped her hand in happiness and hope. "Wow, even Inuyasha came only to two!" Kagome glared at her brother from across the table. "Shut up, Souta! They don't need to know! How do you even know about that?!"
"You need to learn to use the lock on your dairy. It was too easy." Souta looked away, as if he had done nothing wrong. His expression however soon changed when his side dishes were taken away. "Ah, matte!"
"That's for invading my privacy." Kagome stuck her tongue out before eating out of his portion. "Well, I don't mind taking the lead next time. If you're up for a third?" Kagome snapped her head to the side, where she faced Takumi.
His smirk and words cause her rice to get stuck in her throat. She quickly swallowed, before yelling at him.
"No, thank you! Can't we just eat in peace for once in this house?"

KawaiiKittyHigh: Yay XD
HeartlessVampireGirl: I'm glad it somehow passedXD But I understand your frustration, cause I had it too. But the reason I decided to write it nonetheless is because I wanted to have some foreshadowing and because I thought it would be more fun with Kagome's past^^ And yes, that was Rin together with Kanrei XD
Silversun XD: Yay! I'm glad I made you laugh^^

AlthariaMayu (Guest): Thank you for the many compliments even though the orginal episode sucked XD But I get you cause I had it too, at first I didn't want to write, but I thought it would fit so well with Kagome's past so I did it nonetheless ^^' So hopefully this (very prolonged) chapter might make up for it^^
