The Third Family


LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- I just had to use Lil Cat Anime. I couldn't help it. I think this is too important to let it wait till I write another chapter of The Song Book. {Gets on knees} I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY IF I UPSET YOU! To tell you the truth I might have checked your profile before it went up. (I check for reviews like every five minutes so I probably found your review right after you posted it) I do think what you wrote is a big deal! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!

Dragon Man 180- It's mountain money in girl scouts too. I'll think about it {snickers} This is going to be good.

Heart of Friendship- That's strange. Oh well. I hope you update soon! Email me and I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure if I'll need another character. Maybe you could give me some ideas.

Lenipez sideshow- All parties are fun!

Mystic Bynd- Actually it will be both. You'll see how I do it.

Cirrus- Read! Then you'll know where Kyo's going!

KG the oven mit fanatic- Why are you chewing on me?! I think you need to lay off the caffine and get some sleep. I agree with you.

Sorona- No. Kyo's bringing the cake... all half of it that's left. -.-; Mrs. Higurashi made the cake a little too big. {grabs cookies} Thank you! Kagome is paying for the floor. {evil grin}

Kyou- Smart one... That's alright I've done it before. Your gecko's pooping on you? Oh my. Eww.

ZeldaAlly- You're back in school? {pats} I feel bad for you. I don't have to go back till the 13th. Think of it this way. I might be doing it a lot till I get into school so you'll have things to look foreward to when you get home.

SkyeFire-Katana- Thank you for the complements. I hope you keep on enjoying my characters.

Wolf of Fire- Here's the update!


I looked down at my three duffle bags full of clothes and my backpack full of other useful things. "I'll help you with some of this stuff." Kagome said picking up one of the duffle bags. "Thanks." I replied, picking up the remain two bags the the pack. "What did you put in all these?" the miko asked, "Mikoto's going to be annoyed when he sees how much you've packed."
"No he won't." I said, "He told me to pack alot so it's his fault if he doesn't like it." Looking down at my full hands, I sighed. "Could you take another bag?" I questioned, "I have to take the rest of the cake too. I promised Shippo." Kagome nodded and took another bag. "I'll be through the well." she called. I walked back into the kitchen and picked up the cake container.
Mom was in the kitchen. "Have a good time, alright?" she asked. "Sure thing." I replied. "And make sure Kagome knows to bring that pan back." mom said gesturing to the cake container. "I'll make sure." I said kissing her on the cheek. "I'd write to you and the others, but you can't do the in the feudal era." I commented. Mom laughed. "I know." she replied.

Mikoto was waiting for me at the well. He took the cake and sniffed it. "What is this?" Mikoto asked, "It smells good." "It's a cake." I replied, "You'll like it." We began walking to the village. "Where are we going this year?" I asked causually after a moment of silence.
My future mate stopped and looked at me. "I guess this is a good time to tell you." he said, "We won't being coming back, Kyo." I looked at him strangly. "Why?" "We're going to my castle. Your castle soon." I nodded. I guess I had known this was going to happen. "We can still visit our friends, right?" I asked. "Of course." Mikoto said ruffling my hair, "Now let's go. The others are probably wondering where we are."

Shippo jumped on me when we got the the village. "Did you bring the cake?" he asked. I smiled and gestured to Mikoto. Shippo jumped onto him to get a better look. "It looks yummy!" the kid exclaimed, "What type is it? Is it chocolate? Who made it?" I laughed. "Calm down!" I insisted, "It's a vanallia cake which means it's not chocolate, but there's rasberry filling in it too, my mom made it."
"Can I have some?" Shippo asked. I dropped my bag and pack with the others Kagome had brought and took the cake back from Mikoto. "We can all have some." I replied, "Let's go into Kaede's house and get some plates though."
Five minutes later Kaede, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Shippo, Mikoto, Inuyasha, and I were enjoying the rest of mom's cake. "This is really good!" Inuyasha said eating his quickly. "So what's better?" I asked, "Ramen or cake?" "Ramen." came the cool reply.
"I like the cake better." Miroku replied. Everybody besides him and Inuyasha nodded in agreement. Inuyasha groaned. "So I'm alone in this matter?" he asked. "Looks like it." I replied.
"Where's Mikoto taking you this year, Kyo?" Shippo asked. Mikoto and I exchanged glances. "I'm bringing Kyo to my castle." he replied. "About time." Inuyasha commented, "I was wondering when you were going to lug the cat away." I scowled at him. He scowled back. "That's not very nice." Kagome said.
"And we will not be returning." Mikoto finished. "But Mikoto said we could visit." I added, standing up. As soon as I did this I found myself squished in between Sango and Kagome. "We'll miss you." Sango told me. Then to my surprise Miroku joined the hug. The joining part wasn't what surprised me, it was the fact that he wasn't groping either of the girls around me. "And I'll miss you too Lady Kyo." he said. I guess Shippo felt left out because he then jumped ontop of the whole group hug. We laughed.

"All ready to go?" Mikoto asked me. He had placed all my bags except my backpack, which I wore, on a transformed Taoa, leaving just enough room for me to still ride. "Pretty much." I said, "If we're not coming back, then I've got to say good by to my family." "You mean go through the well?" my future mate questioned. I nodded.
"Then go ahead." Mikoto said, "But do you think I could get through too?" I thought it over. "There's no reason why you can't try." I replied, "But the only ones who can get through usually are me, Kagome, and Inuyasha. If you can't get through, I'll just be a few minutes, I hope." He nodded and we jumped into the well.

When I landed at the bottom of the well I was very surprised to see Mikoto next to me. "You got through!" I exclaimed. He shrugged. "I guess the well thought I was worthy enough." "Then you have to meet my mom, grandpa, and little brother." I said jumping out of the well. Mikoto did too.
I led him to the house. "Mom?" I called walking through the front door, to the kitchen. Mom looked up from a book. "Oh Kyo!" she exclaimed, "Did you forget something?" "No." I replied, pushing Mikoto into the room gently. He had seemed reluctant to go in on his own, "I wanted you to meet someone."
Mom looked Mikoto over from his brown ears to his toes and beamed. "Is that Mikoto?" she asked cheerfully. "Yeah." I replied, "Mikoto, this is my mom. Mom, this is Mikoto." Mikoto bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet the woman my mate calls mother." he said politely. Mom giggled.
"Is gramps and Souta around?" I asked. "Grandpa's in the shrine." she replied, "Souta isn't home from school yet, but he should be soon. So where are you two going this year?" "To Mikoto's castle." I replied, "But mom..." I trailed off. "What is it?" she asked. "We're not coming back." I finished.
I could see the sadness in mom's eyes. "You will come to visit, won't you?" she asked. "As much as we can." I answered. I hugged her. "I'll miss you a lot mom." I whispered, "You showed me what it was to have a real life." Mom nodded. "Go say good bye to your grandfather." she instructed, "And be careful with Mikoto around him."

Grandpa was in the shrine like mom said he would be. "Grandpa?" I called. He looked up. "What is it, Kyo?" he asked. "There's someone I want you to meet." I said, "Please don't attack him." Grandpa walked up to Mikoto. "So this must be the much talked of Mikoto, eh?" he asked.
Grandpa looked up sternly at him. "I know you're a demon." he said seriously, "This little girl my daughter's taken in is a half demon. If you ever descriminate her for what she is I swear I'll come and get you." "I promise not to descriminate Kyo." Mikoto said nodding. I was really surprised. Grandpa attacking Mikoto with his 'anti-demon' charms was what I had expected, not them coming to terms.

I saw Souta running up the stair to the house on the way back from the shrine. "Hey Souta!" I called, "Come meet Mikoto!" The kid ran up to us. "Hi!" he said cheerfully, "Are you really a full cat demon? I like your ears!" Mikoto laughed. "Yes." he answered, "I am a full cat demon."
"I won't be seeing you for a while, Souta." I said sadly. "You're going on your vacation, right?" he asked playing with my ears. "Yes." I replied, "But I'm not coming back." Souta stopped rubbing. "Why?" he asked, "This is your home!" "But I'm marrying Mikoto." I explained using human terms, "And then I'm going to live at his house in the feudal era."
A tear dribbled down Souta's face. "But you're my sister!" he cried, "I'll miss you!" I hugged him. Over the years I had come to see him as my brother. "I'll miss you more I bet." I said hugging him. I wanted to make this a game. "I don't think so!" Souta replied. I smiled. "I'll come and visit a lot." I told him, "And maybe I'll bring you presents. Would you like that?" He nodded. "Good." I said. Mikoto and I went back to the well house. I could feel Souta watching us as we left. I would miss my adoptive family more than they'd ever imagine.


Kagome: How sad.

Clear Waters: It's longer than normal.

Inuyasha: So?

Sango: The readers will be happy.

Clear Waters: I know!

Sango: Miroku, I'm proud of you.

Miroku: Why is that, dear Sango?

Sango: Because you didn't grope me, Kagome, or Kyo while we were hugging.

Miroku: You're right... I didn't.

Shippo: Maybe Miroku's getting through his perverted ways.

Kagome: Unlikely.

Inuyasha: Feh. Yeah!

Clear Waters: R&R everyone!
