In the previous chapter the author note about Kagome giving birth at twelve, I meant that a human who didn't know that Kagome and Inu-Yasha were hanyou, and well over 500 years old would look at the children's ages vs. Kagome's and believe she gave birth at the age of twelve.

Chapter 11: A Normal Family, A Normal Life
It was funny how as soon as the door to the Higurashi house was open tails and ears ran inside. A smile grew as she too tweaked the concealment necklace and her ears and tail reappeared. Her tail flicked back and forth happily knowing that it was once more seen.
"Keh, Queen! I hate that tail of yours," said Inu-Yasha Kagome turned towards her mate to see his adorable ears.
"Oh, so today you acknowledge me as a female cat (A/N: queen) and not a bitch, and you lie I can smell it you love my tail," replied Kagome as the tip of her tail brushed against Inu-Yasha's nose. Kagome walked towards her kitchen to prepare a large snack for her children, herself, and her mate.
Kagome began to cut up English muffins and place the twenty halves into the toaster oven, while she waited for then to cook Kimiki walked in and help her mother cut the next batch of ten English muffins. Kimiki next lined up ten napkins on the counter as Kagome switched the batches of food. Kagome buttered each cooked half of English muffin and handed them to Kimiki who added the cinnamon and sugar mix to each one. Putting them back together to make ten whole English muffins and placing one on each napkin. Mother and Daughter repeated the process so each of the ten napkins held two full English muffins. Kimiki grabbed one of the napkins and walked to the living room to watch television, not waiting for Kagome's thanks.
"Snacks!" yelled Kagome. As she personally picked up four of the napkins and walking out of the kitchen, which was soon bombarded five sets of feet. Kagome walked upstairs, entering both Shiori and Shippou's bedrooms and handed the two homework-clad children their snacks. Kagome then continued down the hall to her own bedroom, where very much to Kagome's surprise sat Inu-Yasha looking over his math notes.
Kagome placed the snacks down and walked over to Inu-Yasha's desk. His ears twitched, so Kagome knew her knew that she was there, but in schooling her emotions she knew he didn't know her intentions. Kagome moved a sure hand to rub his nearest ear, causing Inu-Yasha to swivel he chair towards her, within seconds Kagome was in Inu-Yasha's lap nuzzling his neck, as soon as Kagome felt Inu-Yasha's arms wrap around her she looked up into Inu-Yasha's eyes and kissed him softly on the lips. Inu-Yasha pulled out of the kiss before they went to far.
"Feh bitch! You know your own rules; we only have two hours initial homework time, before we go outside with the kids and train them, then dinner, and combat/weapons training, then the second homework/television/bath time before bed," replied Inu-Yasha, but he didn't move to let go of Kagome.
Kagome sighed and retrieved their history homework, "Read the packet and answer the following questions about the Sengoku Jidai. 1. What was and by whom was pined to the goshinboku?" Kagome smiled it was their history, most of their history was in fact history, "the ledged half inu youkai half ningen-"
"Pinned by the future miko kure-hachi no akuma desu Kikyou, because of the Shikon no Tama, a jewel created-"said Inu-Yasha
"Hey, hey the Shikon no Tama is the next question!" cut in Kagome. Kagome shifted in Inu-Yasha's lap and began to write down the answers to their homework. Within their two hours they had completed their homework, Inu-Yasha was dressed in his Hinezumi no Koromo , and Kagome in her on Sengoku Jidai clothes.
Walking down stairs Inu-Yasha and Kagome pried the eight children that were now watching television and got the dressed in their own traditional clothes. They headed out doors for their training which so happened to be hide-n-go-seek-tag, which worked on agility, speed, and quick thinking. With each passing year a few more rocks were added to their training packs to make the pack that each child wore heavier, this would be to keep their stamina high.
Kagome walked outside and took in the beautiful sight of the trees that were left in the mori no Inu-Yasha. Which still belonged to Inu-Yasha. Their house was on the far end of Inu-Yasha's forest away from the Sunset Shrine. Suddenly Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see Inu-Yasha.
"What?" asked Kagome as she picked up her own pack that was about as heavy as her self, since they started the training a good 26 years before hand.
Inu-Yasha removed the pack from her hand and set it down next to the other packs that lined the house, "You can't train today, it's your turn to cook and don't forget that Sessho-Maru, Rin, and Noriko are coming for dinner, to celebrate Sessho-Maru's completion of Law school. "
(A/N: Sessho-Maru started going to university long before Kagome and Inu-Yasha decided to finish up high school, Rin waited as well knowing she looked to young to go through college, without physical proof of high school (non doctored like Sessho-Maru) Rin also waited for Kagome and Inu-Yasha.)
Kagome frowned, she really wanted to go running and burn off all her energy but she knew that it was indeed her turn to cook dinner, and even if it wasn't Inu-Yasha really could only cook ramen and any meat he had hunted himself, something in which Sessho-Maru did not approve of.
Kagome walked into the kitchen and looked through the refrigerator, tonight was a perfect night for oden, Kagome also say that there was an abundance of tofu and udon. Kagome decided on oden and kitsuneudon, thirteen mouths really were a lot to feed. As Kagome pulled out the pans she needed, she let her mind drift to herself, her fifteen year old human self.
There came a knock on the door while Kagome was in the middle of cooking, she found it strange since it was too early for Sessho-Maru. Kagome glanced at her cooking food and slowly walked to the front door after being sure her food wouldn't burn. Kagome stopped in front of the door fingering her concealment necklace, she sniffed the air, and at the smell of demon Kagome dropped her necklace, and opened the door.
Their stood Kanna and Kagura, Kagome smiled giving them each one a hug, "Oh, hey you two long time no see! Come in, come in, I was just making dinner Inu-Yasha and the kids are out back training."
"We are sorry for just showing up like this Kagome," said Kagura.
"Oh nonsense, come in and remove those silly disguises, your among friends," replied Kagome ushering the two inside her home as their human features melted away to stand the same demons of 500 years ago, not a hair out of place or a wrinkle to show they had aged.
The three woman sat in the kitchen in silence as Kagome finished up dinner, Kagura set the table for fifteen and sat next to Kanna awaiting the arrival of Sessho-Maru and family.
Kagome placed the food on the table and went towards the back door. She opened the door and stepped out on her back porch, "Time to come in!" in the blink of an eye, eight children and Inu-Yasha appeared, "Now you guys go get cleaned up Uncle Sesshy, Aunt Rin and Noriko are coming for dinner and aunt Kagura and Kanna are here. The children all nodded and entered the house Inu-Yasha just starred at Kagome since she had said Kagura and Kanna.
At that moment the doorbell rang and the instinctive low growl escaped Inu-Yasha's lips a sure sign that Sessho-Maru was at the door. Even if the brothers were no longer completely at each other's throats anymore, the low annoyed growl always came from Inu-Yasha. He in turn quickly went to the front door to greet Sessho-Maru, Rin and Noriko.
Inu-Yasha was surprised to see that along with his family was a very depressed Hachi. Inu-Yasha invited everyone in and they all entered removing their concealment spells and walked to the dinning room to eat, upon seeing Hachi, Kagome grabbed yet another plate, as Kanna scooted closer to her sister making room for Hachi.
Dinner started and everyone was eating happily, except Kagome who glared daggers at Inu-Yasha. After a few minutes he got the clue clearing his throat Inu-Yasha turned towards his brother who sat at the foot of the table, "I would like to congratulate Sessho-Maru on completing law school, and will be soon joining a law firm, and I'm sure he will be a fine lawyer. And to Kagura who I believe has one more year of college before she can pursue her career in forensic science." Everyone clapped and said their congratulations.
After a few moments Sessho-Maru spoke up, "Yes and Thanks to Kagome for her wonderful cooking, and to my brother for his wonderful hospitality."
"Kagura, Kanna," said Rin looking at the sisters, "what brings you here?"
"Well," Kagura said clearing her throat, "Kanna was beaten up in school, being the void is hard to change you know, she was kicked out and there was no other school in the area that she could go to while I attend university. So we were wondering if Kanna could stay her while I finish school?"
"I don't see a problem, do you Inu-Yasha?" replied Kagome.
Inu-Yasha was cut off by Rin, "Oh no, you guys already have eight kids Sessho-Maru and I will take in Kanna, wont we Fluffy?" Rin's tone of voice left no room for argument. Sessho-Maru just nodded Noriko's face lit up.
"Well that is settled, and what about you, you chicken of a tanuki youkai?"
"Kohaku, has come to visit and Lord Miroku wanted me to be target practice, I refused and he kicked me out," replied a nervous Hachi. Everyone shook their heads Hachi was as cowardly as Myoga and this was a common occurrence. Hachi always ran to Inu-Yasha and Kagome begging for them to calm Miroku. Kagome stood from the table and dialed Miroku on the phone. She then proceeded to help Hachi.
The rest of the night was uneventful; the after dinner training was canceled on account of guest. Hachi returned to Miroku's house, and Kanna and Kagura decided to spend the night at Sessho-Maru's house. Being that the household was that of demon origin the children were all put to bed around eleven, since they didn't need much sleep, but that is a normal day for this family.
In the back of Kagome's mind she was still contemplating what she should do about herself. After Kagome and Inu-Yasha finished the dishes, and tucked in their children, Kagome moved to the old den as if she were to write in her diary. This is a time she knew that Inu-Yasha would let her be.
Inside of writing in her diary Kagome wrote herself a letter, warning her human self of Sessho-Maru's wish and that result, becoming hanyou. Her only problem now was when to give the letter to herself, before or after the first time slip?
Kagome carefully folded the letter and put it into an envelope she sealed the envelope and looked around the room, before she left and climbed the stairs to her room. Upon entering the room Kagome noticed that Inu-Yasha wasn't there, she heard the water running in the master bath and knew Inu-Yasha was in there, brushing his teeth, or something of that sort. Kagome took her letter and placed it into her backpack, than she sat on the bed waiting for Inu-Yasha to be finished.
Inu-Yasha stepped out of the bathroom, and threw a water bottle at Kagome; she looked questionably at him. Inu-Yasha was still wearing his Hinezumi no Koromo, he looked the same that he had for the past 500 years.
"I thought we would play tag till sunrise, since you didn't get to train earlier," said Inu-Yasha offering a hand to help Kagome off the bed. Kagome smiled Inu-Yasha's tag when it was just the two of them was a bit more sexual, violent and ranged as far as you could run. For example usually instead of tagging it's tackling and on one occasion after Inu-Yasha tackled Kagome they stopped playing games and moved onto something more intimate, at that time they were on the far outskirts of Tokyo.
"What about the kids? We can't leave them alone," replied Kagome. She looked around the room and noticed the window was open.
"We've done it before, the kids can take care of themselves," replied Inu-Yasha, slightly sad that Kagome would reject his idea he backed up towards his desk and set his own water bottle down.
Kagome dropped her bottle on the bed and walked slowly towards Inu-Yasha, "But..." Kagome tapped Inu-Yasha's nose with her tail, "your it!" in a blink of an eye Kagome turned tail and ran bolting out the open window before Inu-Yasha could think to move. Inu-Yasha smirked and bound after her.
