"Gome-channnnnnnnn!" Satoru yells from the other room. Kagome closes her eyes and takes a moment to collect herself. She doesn't need the power of the six eyes to know that Satoru is coming to annoy her. "I got the goods!." He slides into the kitchen, hands swinging the bags of desserts.

"I'm so proud of you," she teases, "you left some for the rest of us." She takes the bags from him and pulls the boxes out. "What are these?" she asks, pointing to the gold flecks on the cheesecake.

"Um, gold?"

"You ordered a cheesecake with gold in it?" She plants her hands on her hips, brow raised.

"My child eats nothing but the best…. the students, on the other hand…." He crackles to himself, his back hunched over as he pretends to wipe a tear from his blindfold.

"You're the worst." Her phone buzzers on the counter, signaling that the pizzas are done. "Everyone's upstairs, playing some game." Kagome grabs the oven mitts and sets the pizzas on the stove to cool. Satoru offered to just pick up dinner and dessert, but the kids wanted homemade pizzas, and she can never say no when Yuji gives her his best impression of a puppy.

"Hey!" Satoru shoos Buyo Jr. off of the kitchen island, away from the cheesecake. Buyo Jr. slinks out of the kitchen, thrusting his two tails into the air. "I feel like he just told me to fuck off," Satoru grumbles.

"Megumi-kun must be spoiling him." She shakes her head. It's no wonder Buyo Jr prefers to be with Megumi. The boy lets him get away with everything. "At any rate, could you call them down to eat? Yuji and Nobara should have set the table." She grabs the pizza cutter and cuts nearly perfect slices.

"Megumi didn't help?"

"He's been helping all day." Kagome quickly covers her ears, though she can still hear Satoru shouting for the kids to come down. "Really?" She huffs as she attempts to grab the pizzas, but every time she reaches for them, they levitate out of her reach. Satoru's poor job of hiding his laughter makes her want to whack him upside the head. The pizzas float over her head as they and the cheesecake fly out of the kitchen.

"I'm helping," Satoru quips, lifting his blindfold up so that it is more like a headband.

"You're showing off," she replies, brushing past him. "Besides, now that I know you can do that…" Kagome winks at him over her shoulder.

"You want to try air sex," he says with a serious look on his face. "Could be tricky, but nothing is impossible for me."

Her mouth pops open as the chorus of 'gross!' reverberates in her eardrums. She should be used to it by now, but sometimes she really cannot grasp the things that come out of his mouth.

"You're disgusting," Megumi deadpans, the tips of his ears stained pink. He's dressed down in a basic tee and sweatpants.

"Meow," Buyo Jr agrees from his place on Megumi's shoulder.

"The absolute worst," Nobara chimes in, taking the seat at the head of the table. Unlike Megumi and Yuji, Nobara is dressed in Versace loungewear and a silk robe. Kagome is trying to figure out how Nobara convinced her to spend so much on sweatpants.

"Forget that," Yuji says, "Megumi let me see Buyo Jr." Yuji is rocking a hoodie and pajama shorts.

"No."

"Whatttt? Why not?" Yuji reaches his hand out towards Buyo Jr, and like clockwork, the nekomata and Megumi swat his hand away with practiced ease.

"Oh, that's cold," Satoru remarks, ruffling Yuji's hair before pulling out a chair for Kagome. He takes a seat next to her and goes for the cheesecake.

"It's what he gets," Nobara says in between bites.

"Shouldn't Gojo-sensei be sitting at the head of the table?" Yuji complains, switching his focus to the cheesecake. He cuts himself a large slice, and to Kagome's dismay, she realizes Satoru is rubbing off on Yuji.

"Only queens can sit at the head." Nobara tosses her hair back. "And Kagome-san agrees, so everyone else's opinion is mute."

"So why are you sitting there?"

"You take that back!"

"Please tell me they are not staying the night too," Megumi pleads.

Kagome pushes back the grin that threatens to break through as the kids bicker back and forth. Satoru bumps his shoulder against hers as he piles slices of pizza onto her plate. She leans her head against his shoulder as she munches on a cheese slice. Her eyes flutter as her limbs grow weary. Kagome closes her eyes as her breathing evens out.

"Is she okay?"

"Did she really fall asleep while eating?"

"And this is why we need a lot of help at home."
