Step-sisters? Oh but how! Hmm… I wonder what will happen now… Kagome and Kikyo are step… but by which parent? Guess that's obvious… but if you don't know yet… then stay tuned… you'll find out!
Title: All it took was a Simple Mistake
Summary: It was a mistake. All she needed was directions to the Mall but he mistook her for the new Nanny. Trying to tell him who she really was didn't really matter at all any more since the kids have taken a liking to her and she's taking a liking to their father… Inuyasha.

"Mommy." They greeted and bowed. The lady bowed back, she had a little girl behind her.
"Mei, bow to your brothers." She ordered. The little girl bowed and returned to behind her mother.
Kagome was licking her ice cream and turned around and gasped at the lady before her.
"KIKYO!" She shrieked.
"KAOMGE!" The lady yelled.
Inuyasha was confused.
"Kagome… how do you know mommy?" Aki asked.
"Yea Kagome, how?" Sao chimed.
"Kagome, how do you know her?" Inuyasha too was curious.
"SHE'S MY STEP-SISTER!" Kikyo and Kagome screamed simultaneously.
Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'Step-sisters?' his mind screamed.
Kikyo glared daggers at Kagome. "What the hell are you doing here with my sons?"
Kagome's eyes flared. "YOUR SONS! Excuse me but Dad told me you only had a daughter."
Kikyo stepped closer towards Kagome. "Yea I did, but Dad didn't know about my twins!"
"13 damn years Kikyo, after 13 years you suddenly show up and say that the twins I'm governing are your twins!"
Kikyo got pissed even more. "YOU'RE THEIR NANNY!"
Kagome stood up and walked towards Kikyo. Kikyo smirked. "Oh I see, Inuyasha's new keep eh."
Kagome got pissed and glared even harder at Kikyo. "Keep?" She hissed.
Kikyo laughed. "Oh forget that, how's Mom? Souta?"
Kagome slapped Kikyo. "Don't you dare say my mother and brother's name you son of a…"
"Kagome?" Aki cut Kagome off.
Kagome looked at Aki and sighed. "I'm going grocery shopping." She whispered as she left.
Inuyasha stared at the retrieving figure. 'Kikyo's…step…' he thought.
-Kagome-
Kagome growled as she stomped around the grocery shop getting the stuff needed. She got cereal, milk, juice, snacks, chips, cookies etc…
Her bill came to 117.23. She paid and left. She drove back to Inuyasha's place. She had the extra key to the place and she entered. Nobody was home yet. Inuyasha must've called in sick wherever he worked and was taking Aki and Sao out.
Kagome put all the stuff back as she sat down on the kitchen counter. She sighed and thought about all things that happened to her past.
"Kikyo." She whispered. "My father's daughter…"
-Flashback-
5-year-old Kagome and 1-year-old Souta were watching as their father Akira Hiroshi was beating up their mother under drunken eyes.
"YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING…" Akira roared as he slapped Korari on the face. Blood trickled down Korari's beautiful face as she strained to get up.
Akira punched her in the stomach as she coughed out blood and fell back again. Kagome was frightened as she tried to comfort her baby brother.
"WHY DID YOU THROW AWAY MY BEER!" Akira roared as he took a wooden spoon and hit Korari. She started crying insanely Akira threatened her with a knife.
"WHY…" He hissed.
"I WANT A DIVORCE!" Korari finally screamed. Akira was dumbstruck. "What…" he hissed.
Korari stood up being supported by a chair. "You heard me Akira, divorce…"
Akira's eyes went blood shot. "A divorce... what makes you think I'M going to divorce you?"
Korari struggled to stand up. "If you aren't going to call for a divorce... I WILL!" Korari was about to leave but Akira stopped her. "You wouldn't dare..." He said murderously.
"Try me." Korari struggled to get out of his grasp. Akira slapped her on the spot and left.
Weeks later, Korari did call for a divorce, having perfect reasons. Kagome was the witness, and being a 5 year old, it was the absoloute truth. Korari and Akira divorced and Korari changed her last name back to her maiden name.
A year later, Akira had re-married to a woman who already had a daughter by the name of Kikyo. She was 5 years older then Kagome and thought was the best. Korari had stopped Kagome and Souta from visiting Akira and all traces of him were erased from the Higurashi household.
And since then, for 13 years, no relationship has been kept with either of the families...
Till Today.
-End-
Just as Kagome fell into a daydream, Inuyasha, Aki and Sao came home. Kagome jumped up and rushed to greet them. The look on Inuyasha's face was deadly.
"Aki, Sao, go upstairs." He hissed. His sons complied. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the wrist and pulled her into the family room.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He hissed.
Kagome frowned. "Tell you what?"
"THAT YOU WERE KIKYO'S STEP!"
Kagome glared at him. "Excuse me, how the hell was I supposed to know you were her hubby?"
Inuyasha just simply glared at her. "DID YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID!" He roared.
Kagome shook her head. "No, we didn't have contact for 13 years."
"She use me up and spit me out for some bastard named Naraku."
Kagome frowned. "Ok, if she loves this Naraku person, why did she freak on me for Nannying your kids."
Inuyasha glared at her. "She wants attention, you of all the people should know that."
A long pause…
"So what are you gonna do now?" he roared.
Kagome was taken back. "What?" She whispered.
"I can't really keep you as the nanny… you just might be like Kikyo."
Kagome's eyes flashed. "WHAT? ME LIKE HER!" She roared.
Inuyasha glared at her. "Get out…" he hissed.
Kagome frowned. "Nani?"
"Get out of my house… I don't want to see you stupid face ever again!"
Kagome glared at him. "FINE!" She roared before she left.
Inuyasha sighed before going to comfort his kids. "I can't risk it." Inuyasha whispered.
-Kagome-
Kagome fumed as she took a turn into Sango's parking lot.
"OH CRAP!" She roared. "MY STUFF'S AT HIS PLACE!"
Kagome sighed. Luckily she had kept one of her school uniforms at Sango's place. More shopping now I guess.
"He can just burn those clothes for all I care." She murmured as she walked into the elevator.
She knocked on Sango's door and a dead Sango opened it.
"Huh… Kag-chan… what's up?"
Kagome scowled as she stomped in and told Sango the story.
-Half hour later-
"KIKYO SHOWED UP!" Sango said for the umpteenth time.
Kagome nodded. "Yea, after 13 years."
Sango shook her head. "Whoa that's tense. Hey, you can chill here for the rest of the time okay? We'll go down there to get your stuff."
Kagome glared at Sango. "You kidding? He can burn it for all I give, I'm going shopping for new clothes."
Sango giggled. "Leave it to Kag to buy new clothes at any chance."
Kagome giggled. "Yep!"
Suddenly somebody knocked on the door.
"Miroku's here!" Sango called.
"You invited him?"
Sango shook her head. "No, he called me up just before you came saying he needed to tell me something, very important. He sounded serious so I said yea."
Kagome laughed. "Then I think I should leave you two alone."
Kagome walked to her bedroom and started to think of the earlier incidents.
'That bastard…' She thought as she lay in bed, 'how dare he compare me to Kikyo…'
-Kagome's POV-
I've never actually met Kikyo's mother. I was told her mother was very beautiful and was very sweet. I find that unbelievable.
Kikyo is like that stupid looser Akira. I've always wanted to meet her mother but I don't think I wanna any more.
Good for nothing Takahashi.
"GET OUT!" he says.
Pfft, he can go do what ever for all I care. First forcing me to be the nanny and then what, three days later firing me? I'd curse his generation but Aki and Sao are to KAWAII to cures…
HUNGRY! I'm gonna go eat now, hope Miroku's gone. I don't think I can face a lecher right now…
-End POV-
Kagome walked out to indeed find Miroku and Sango talking. They didn't notice her so she crept into the kitchen. She decided to listen in on their convo.
"Sango… I really… oh I dunno how to say this." Miroku was saying.
"Just say it Miro." Sango said as she rested her back on the sofa.
"Sango. For the longest time I…I…"
Kagome got seriously pissed. 'He needs a life.' Kagome thought as she growled.
"TELL HER MIROKU BEFORE I DO!"
Sango and Miroku jumped. The looked at the kitchen wall expecting Kagome to run out but she didn't. They thought they should leave her. Sango told Miroku about what happened to Kagome so he wouldn't piss her off.
"Sango, I love you…"
Sango's eyes widened. "Nani?" She whispered.
Miroku gulped. "For the longest time I've loved you but…"
Sango didn't know what to say.
"I've… I've even tried to give up groping women… thought the only girl I never groped these days was you…"
Sango was speechless.
"SAY SOMETHING SANGO!" Kagome cried from the kitchen.
Sango jumped before facing Miroku.
"I… I like you Miroku yea, as a friend and all… but love…"
Miroku looked really sad now. "I see." He whispered. "I… I have to go…" His voice cracked as he rushed out of there.
Kagome ran out as soon as Miroku left.
"What the… I thought you liked him." Kagome said as Sango sighed.
"I dunno… I like him as a friend an all but I don't think I LOVE him…"
Kagome shook her head. "You're in denial. Ok, if you don't want him… he's kinda cute…"
Sango tackled Kagome. "Don't you dare…"
Kagome smirked. "Told you, you loved him."
Sango sat up thinking about what just happened. "I'm off to bed." Kagome murmured as she left.
-2 days later-
Miroku has been avoiding Sango ever since. Kagome kept on pressuring Sango to looking deep within her self.
Early that morning, while Kagome and Sango were having coffee (Monday morning) Sango finally told Kagome her feelings.
"I think I really do love him."
Kagome snorted. "Took you long enough."
"But how do I tell him?"
Kagome thought for a moment. "How about we go for ice-cream today. Kouga couldn't re-change my schedule so I'm with 3 hours of school now but… you can get outta Yoshida easily right?"
Sango nodded.
"So, I'll tell Miroku to join me for ice cream, you come to, tell him you love him, kiss, get married, have kawaii kids, make me the god mother, and then grow old together."
Sango giggled. "Kagome, you and your soap operas."
Kagome laughed. "True, now hurry and get ready, we have to go to school, and you are taking Kirara."
Sango nodded as she did.
-After School: Ice cream parlour-
Kagome had begged, pleaded Kouga to change her schedule but Kouga said it wasn't possible. Too many students want course changes and Kagome's time table had to remain permanent. He did however reclaim her as his woman; Kagome got pissed and left him standing at the door.
Right now they were at the same ice cream parlour that Kagome saw Kikyo. They were in a booth and were having ice cream. Miroku was yet to come.
"So, no working for great Takahashi any more?" Sango asked.
Kagome snorted. "That good for nothing… saying that I'm exactly like Kikyo."
Sango shrugged. "You two DO look alike so it makes sense."
"We do not looklike each other." Kagome defended.
Sango laughed as she licked her ice cream. They were having ice cream in the middle of September call them crazy.
Finally, Miroku came.
"Sango…" He gasped as he found their booth. Sango bowed her head and scooted over to the far end. Miroku sat down beside her but not BESIDE her, just… same seat.
"Sango has something to tell you…" Kagome said.
Miroku looked at Sango. "Yes?" he asked.
"Miroku… I've been thinking about it and…"
Sango stopped talking and started heavily breathing. Kagome frowned. "Oh please, you two are impossible."
Sango glared at her. "After Takahashi fired you, you've been acting all prissy on us! What, produced feelings for a hanyou in three days."
Kagome had fire in her eyes. "WHAT! YOU OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE ASKING ME THAT?"
Sango stood up. "SO! YOU'VE BEEN ACTING ALL MEAN AND CRANKY SINCE!"
Kagome too stood up. "YOU WOULD TOO IF YOU GOT CALLED BEING EXACTLY LIKE YOUR STEPSISTER!"
They were drawing attention. The two friends sighed and sat back down.
"Sorry Kagome, I just can't stand seeing you like this."
Kagome smiled. "No worries, now tell Miroku."
Sango looked at Miroku and smiled. "Miroku, I love you too…"
Miroku's expression cracked into a HUGE grin.
"No kids?"
"Nope, no kidding." Sango smiled. Miroku grinned even more, if possible and pulled Sango in to a kiss. Short but sweet.
Kagome laughed. "Aww, a Monk and a Slayer…"
Miroku and Sango grinned as they smiled at Kagome.
Kagome giggled. "Now Sango, get me a man…"
Sango and Miroku burst into laughter's.
"Kagome?" Came a familiar kawaii voice. The trio stopped laughing as they saw a small Hanyou.
Kagome's eyes widened. "Aki?" she whispered.
Aki broke into a run as he rushed towards Kagome. "KAGOME! I MISSED YOU!" He yelled.
Kagome giggled. "I missed you too Honey!"
Sango and Miroku looked at each other. "Honey?" They both said.
Kagome laughed. "LONG story."
Suddenly, the identical one came as well. "KAGOME!" Sao shrieked.
He rushed into Kagome's arms as well. "Hiya Sweetie!"
Miroku and Sango wore the same expression.
Finally, the dad came. "Kagome?" He said.
Kagome looked at him and lost her smile instantly. "Aki, Sao… I have to go…" She whispered as she put the boys down. She got up and was about to leave but Inuyasha grabbed her wrist preventing her from.
"I want you to come back…"
Kagome's eyes widened as she faced him. "What?" She whispered.
"I want you to be the nanny of the twins again. They've been crying for you since 3 days ago…"
Kagome looked at the twins, to Inuyasha then to Sango and Miroku. Sango glared at Inuyasha as Miroku tried to stop his laughter's from exploding.
Kagome sighed. "No." She said firmly.
Aki and Sao burst into tears. "PLEASE KAGOME!" They cried as they grabbed onto her pant legs. Kagome looked dumbstruck as the twins latched onto her.
Oh how they were drawing attention. Everybody was watching them.
"Please Aki, Sao… try to understand… I can't. I'm not your nanny… I'm your…"
"Aunt?" Inuyasha said sternly.
Kagome looked at him.
"So, what if you are their aunt, your not bio! If I had heard you correct, you said that you were her Step, and Step means that, basically she isn't blood related in anyway, unless I'm mistaken, and they want you to nanny them, they said no to all the other women that came for an interview they wanted you. They said you're nothing like Kikyo and well, they're my kids and I want them to be happy."
Kagome sighed. "You kicked me out because of my sister." She finally said.
"SO?" Inuyasha roared. "They want you to be their nanny so you WILL be their nanny."
Kagome looked at the kids that were latched onto her. Sango and Miroku found this amusing. THE Inuyasha Takahashi was having trouble of getting back his Nanny. What could be better?
"There you go, forcing me again. Sango, Miroku, can we go?" Kagome whined.
The two stood up, not wanted to be a part of this and started following Kagome out.
"If you leave, you'll prove just how alike to Kikyo you really are." Inuyasha said as Kagome was about to open the door. Aki and Sao had let go of her and were crying in Inuyasha's arms.
She whirled around and glared at him. "What did you say?" she hissed.
Sango couldn't take much more of this. "Listen here, if she doesn't want to be your nanny then so flipping be it!"
Inuyasha glared at her. "Stay outta this." He warned.
Miroku wrapped his arm around her waist signalling that this was Kagome and Inuyasha's fight, not theirs.
"So… will you be exactly like Kikyo and walk outta their life or…"
Kagome frowned. "So, you're using my sister to make me be your nanny?"
Aki wiggled out of Inuyasha's arms and ran towards Kagome. "PLEASE?" He gave her a puppy dog look.
Sango found that the most KAWAIIEST thing a kid could ever do…
(Gee… talk about moral support from your friends…)
Sao too gave her a puppy dog look form Inuyasha's arms. The ENTIRE place was watching this now.
"Fine…" Kagome murmured. "I'll be your nanny again…"
Nice place to end ne? Kagome left and came back. Miroku and Sango are together… and the story has just begun! I still have to make Inu and Kag fall in lub don't I! And if you couldn't notice, I changed Kagome's flashback so it kinda fit. A lot of readers told me that if Kagome fell in love with her sister's ex-husband and had her nephews as her kids would be weird and I kinda agree.
You also had told me that if Akira was Kikyo's father, then that would make Kagome, Kikyo's half sister so I had to switch it. So, Kagome and Kikyo are step-sisters, not at all blood related, meaning Inu and Kag can fall in love with no regrets! Thanks for the ppl who told me!
So, stay tuned, the journey has only begun!
