Wow! I'm glad you guys like it! I already have the next few chapters written, so I'll probably be quick to update. You may not get new chapters this quickly later on, though...

I can't tell you how Naraku died. Not yet, anyway...

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, or anything else.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After twelve explosions and some decision making, two days had passed in a flash. It was already 5:45 pm. At Naraku's huge estate, the same young man who had delivered all of the letters was greeting people as they came. The guests were directed to the living room, where they were chatting and watching the large flat screen television. Only 8 guests had arrived so far, though.

Kagome was flipping through channels boredly as her younger brother, Souta, was drawing pictures with her adopted son Shippou. Kagome had been delighted to see that her old high school friends, Miroku and Inuyasha, were there as well. The other three who recently came in she didn't recognize, but soon enough she learned their names and a bit about them. This is what she had gathered:

Kagura had ran away from home at age 15, and lived on the streets until she was 16. When she was 16, she met Kikyou who welcomed her into her apartment as long as she could help pay the rent. When she was 18, she learned that her Dad had sent her younger sister Kanna to live with her. Kagura and Kikyou have had a variety of jobs since then, but often got fired for reasons they refused to tell her. Their most recent jobs were as waitresses, and they both quit when Kagura had a winning lottery ticket stolen from her. Now they are here, and both of them have denied Miroku's request of bearing his child.

Kagome found herself watching the news. They were talking about upcoming sports events. "That's that track star, isn't it?" Kanna asked, glancing at the TV. Kagome shrugged, for she had never heard of nor seen before the youkai shown on the screen. Kanna stared at her in disbelief. "Faster than the speed of light?" she asked, causing Kagome to look over at her. "There's no way anybody could be that fast, even if they are a demon." "Well of course not." Kanna said, shaking her head. "That's just what he's described as. His name is Kouga, and he's the swiftest being alive." She stated, and Kagome turned back to the TV. "Really now..." She murmured, and changed the channel again.

"I don't see what's so great about - Ohmygosh!" She exclaimed, looking at the new picture shown on the TV screen. "That's Sesshomaru! He's a movie star, and he's being interviewed on TV!" She said, excitedly.

"I take it that you are one of his many obsessive fan girls." Kagura murmured, glancing at Kagome who was staring at the television with starry eyes. "Feh." Inuyasha muttered. He had never told anyone that he was Sesshomaru's brother. Sesshomaru never spoke of him, either. As far as everyone knew, Sesshomaru didn't even have a brother.

A boy walked in and gazed around at everyone. "Found it, Sis." He said, and walked into the room. Miroku was surprised to see just who the boy's sister was. "Sango!" He exclaimed, standing up and walking over to greet her.

Sango blinked. "Miroku? I didn't know you were here. Kagome and Inuyasha as well! Hey everybody, long time no see!" She exclaimed, happily. Miroku smiled. "It has indeed been a long time." He said, warmly. ~Wow... she's so much more beautiful than I remember!~

Sango's smiling face turned to an expression of surprise, then anger. She raised her hand and slapped Miroku for groping her. He sighed relievingly. "You haven't changed at all." Sango said, crossing her arm. Miroku grinned. ~Beautiful...~

Kohaku and Sango got introduced to those who they didn't already know, and they all started to get acquainted.

Kagome glanced up at the clock. It had just turned to 6:00. "Wherever the other two are.." she said, "They probably--" "Have just arrived." A manly voice said in place of Kagome's 'decided not to come.' They all looked over to see who spoke. Inuyasha just stared at the person, and Kagome's eyes had grown wide.

"Pinch me, I'm dreaming." Kagome said softly, in a dreamy voice. A moment later, "OW! I didn't mean it!" She barked at Inuyasha, but then understood what this meant. "Hey! That hurt! This isn't a dream! And you're really him!" She exclaimed. The person standing in the doorway was none other than the famous movie star himself, Sesshomaru. Behind him stood the track star, Kouga.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome said, speeding up to him. "Hi my name's Kagome and I know who you are of course and I'd just like to say that you're so hot and I love you and will you marry me?" She said, all very quickly. Inuyasha sweatdropped. ~What the hell does she think she's doing?~ He thought. Miroku was quite surprised at Kagome's actions as well. ~Move star. I want to be one.~

"How about an autograph instead?" Sesshomaru offered, and Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Both." She stated. Sesshomaru sighed "Well then, I'll give you an autograph now, and I'll think about the marriage. Deal?" Kagome smiled. "Deal." She said, and then pulled out of her book bag a very thick folder. She opened it, and everybody in the room just stared. They were all pictures of Sesshomaru, either cut out from a magazine or printed off the internet. Since she couldn't figure out which one she wanted him to sign, she closed it and held it out to him. "Sign right here, on the cover! And you can use my pen!" She handed him a pen, and he signed the folder.

When he returned the pen, Kagome smiled widely. ~I am going to treasure this pen forever.~ she thought, and clung to her folder happily.

"You get this a lot, don't you?" Inuyasha asked, making Sesshomaru aware of his presence. He just stared at him for a few seconds, then replied smoothly "Yes, I do." There was a pause, and they just stared at each other. Kagome blinked. "Inuyasha, do you know Sesshomaru? Personally, I mean?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Most people would know their own brother." He stated, causing everyone to look at him in disbelief. Kagome was about to say something, but the man who delivered there letters entered the room. "Take a seat, won't you?" He asked, and all of those who were standing sat down on one of the couches.

"I assume you've all gotten acquainted? Good." He said, and turned off the TV. "I have been placed in charge of anything concerning the will of Lord Naraku. You all know him, otherwise you wouldn't be here right now." He glanced around at them all, making sure they were paying attention. They were.

"My name is Hojou," He said, "and we have much to discuss."
