Yes, Kagura and Naraku are PARENTS in my story! To Kanna and Kouga! If you don't like my plot, I'm sorry! Don't finish reading the story! If you like it, YAY beans!

"Mom! Where's my hat?"

"I don't know! Ask your brother!"

Kanna ran across the hall to her brother's room and threw open the door.

"Kouga-AHHH!"

Kanna slammed the door shut and stepped away from the door. Giving up and finding her Tennessee hat, she went downstairs to pack some shirts.

Kouga woke up and looked down at his gray flannel boxers and sighed. He threw a pillow of his head, then slammed it to the floor again. The scorching heat of the Texas sun poured through the windows of his bedroom window in his family's ranch styled home. He tried to catch a glimpse of a pair of blue jeans on his cluttered bedroom floor, but closed his blue eyes tightly from the invading rays of sun and reached down and felt around for a pair. He gave on the blind search and draped the upper half of his body over the edge of his bed. Under the dirty and clean socks, shirts, and underwear, he finally found his jeans. He pulled them on and trudges down the hall and down the steps where his mother and father were sitting at the kitchen table with a hot breakfast laid out.

"Good morning, dear." Kagura said, smiling at her son and taking a sip of her coffee.

" Morning, Mom. Hey, Dad." Kouga said, sitting down across from his father.

"Yeah." Naraku murmured, never taking his eyes away from his newspaper.

Kanna came into the kitchen with a suitcase and sat it down beside the family fish tank. She kissed her mother, started to kiss her father, but started reading the newspaper.

"Good morning, Kanna." Kouga said, pouring steaming coffee into his Superman mug.

"Yeah."

"I give up."

"THEY WON!" Kanna and Naraku yelled in unison, sharing an embrace before did a victory dance.

Kanna danced around the dining room table and picked up a piece of toast and bacon. Kouga just shook his head and sipped on his coffee. Kanna and Naraku's favorite football team is the Tennessee Volunteers, and Kouga and Kagura were the victims of the non stop and mainly unwanted news flashes about the team's progress.

"When are Kagome and Sango supposed to be here to pick you up?" Kagura asked.

Kanna looked at the clock on the wall and gasped. Without answering her mother, she ran up the stairs and came back down with her arms laden with her Tennessee pajamas, shoes, pants, socks, make up, and other various things. She dropped them all on the floor and drug another black suitcase out of the top of the hallway closet. Kagura laughed and turned to the clock on the kitchen wall and her face paled noticeably.

"The girls will be here in three minutes! Kouga help your sister pack!"

Kouga glared at his mother from over his cup, but after a vicious glare from his mother, he immediately got up to assist his rushing sister. Kanna was stuffing everything into her bag and running for more when Kouga calmly started grabbing random things out of Kanna's tomboy-ish room. He grabbed her Playstation 2 console and games, sports and car magazines, then he started going through her drawers when she stopped him.

"What are you doing?" She asked pushing his hand away and closing the drawer.

"Helping you pack, what's it look like?" Kouga replied as he pulled his pants up.

"Kouga, you're half naked and your hair is flying all over the place!"

"So? You've seen me in more embarrassing conditions."

Kanna crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot.

"If you are referring to the time when I walked into the bathroom when you were just getting out, that was a state of emergency!"

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Is that the reason you puked all over the place?"

"No, I puked when I saw you!"

"HEY!"

Kouga tackled Kanna and began to begin the merciless tickling torture they used to do when they were kids. Kouga suddenly blushed and got up. Kanna raised up and looked at her brother who was sitting on the bed.

"Kouga, what's up?"

Kouga looked at Kanna and smiled.

"I remember when mom and dad brought you home. I was staying with Auntie and Kagome when we were five. Auntie was pregnant with Souta and Grandpa was in the Shrine working on some charms. Then Dad walked Mom in and they had you wrapped in a soft pink blanket."

Kanna got up and sat beside her brother, eager to listen to tails about her youth.

"Then, when me and Kagome were ten years old and you were five, you would try to do the stuff we were doing. Like do our homework or clean the shrine or something. But when ever a football game was on, we couldn't touch you."

Kanna smiled and snickered, pulling her long white hair up in a ponytail.

"Now here you are; watching football and working on cars. And you know some martial arts moves that could put me on my butt. Your growing up on me, Kanna."

The ivory haired girl laughed and punched her brother in the arm. She stood and pulled her gray t-shirt down and adjusted her shorts.

"Well, I'm glad that you still care."

"But don't think I'm going to think I'm going to let that puking thing be forgotten!"

"Good! Because you need to get some duct tape or something and-"

"HEY!"

Naraku and Kagura looked up from the dishes they were washing and sighed as the sounds and vibrations of their children hurling each other to the floor made the dining room chandelier rattle. The doorbell rang and Kagura grabbed a dish towel and dried her hands while moving towards the door. She opened the door to her beaming niece and best friend.

"Kagome! Sango! You're finally here!"

Kagome smiled and gave her aunt a tight hug with Sango following suit. Kagura smiled and stepped back and looked at their twin outfits of lime green tank tops with shimmering blue butterflies and their blue jean shorts.

"Where did you get your outfits? Their adorable!"

"From a store a few miles away from the shrine. We got Kanna a dress too."

While Kagome and Sango chatted with Kagura, Naraku dodged his wife's hawk like eyes and snuck into Kanna's room with a bag behind his back. He stuck his head into his daughter's room where Kouga had her in a partial headlock and her strong jaws were latched onto his arm.

"Can I interrupt?"

Kanna looked up at her father and moved her mouth from Kouga's arm.

"Hey Dad!"

Naraku came in and sat on the bed. Kouga pushed his sister away and dodged her sharp nails when he walked by her to sit in the floor in front of Naraku.

"Me, your mom, and Kouga got you a present to commemorate your trip to California."

Naraku handed the Kouga the bag, the raven haired boy laid the bag in his sister's eager hands. She quickly opened the bag, looked inside, then squealed with delight.

"Tennessee pajamas! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Naraku and Kouga laughed and excepted Kanna's eager hugs before she bolted out of the room and down the stairs to her mother. Naraku and Kouga sighed and flumped over.

"How long is she going to be gone?"

"All summer long."

"Really?"

"Uh huh."

Silence fell over father and son.

"Think we can get Mom out of the house to visit Tsubaki?

"Tsubaki? They fight like cats and dogs!"

"Oh, yeah."

Silence once again, until Kouga laughed and got up off the floor.

"She can go see Auntie for a few days!"

Naraku thought for a moment then smiled broadly.

"Boys night in?"

"Yes sir! Poker?" Kouga asked, a hopeful gleam in his blue eyes.

"Of course! Pizza and beer?"

"Definitely!"

Meanwhile, Kagome and Sango are showing Kanna her new dress. Kanna ran her fingers over the emerald green, blue, and silver tie dyed silk dress. The spaghetti straps made Kanna cringe, but she adored the dress none the less.

"Well, are you ready to go?" Sango asked, picking up the largest of Kanna's bags.

Kanna nodded and picked up the smallest and handed Kagome the second largest bag.

"Yeah, but why are you guys late?"

Kagome ignored her cousin and hugged Kagura goodbye.

"Bye and be careful!"

Kanna kissed and hugged her mother goodbye, then ran outside to Kagome's blue Mustang. Sango popped the trunk while Kanna stuck her bags in the trunk.

"Now tell me why you were late Kagome!" Kanna yelled at her cousin while climbing into the backseat.

Kagome sighed and turned to face her when Sango was shutting the passenger side door. She smiled at Kanna and pulled her sunglasses on.

"We came across three idiots in a red Dodge that had a driver who didn't know how to drive."

The three girls laughed, then Kagome backed out of the driveway while Sango turned to resume the conversation with Kanna.

"The driver acted like he had major road rage or something. He had silver hair and had dog ears! Then there was a red headed boy and a black haired boy who was napping in the bed of the truck. We passed them on the interstate on the way here."

Kagome smiled and looked in the rear view mirror at her cousin, then to her friend.

"Sunny California here we come!"

END- DONE WITH CHAPTER THREE! Little does Kagome know that those three idiots on the interstate will change hers, Sango's, and Kanna's summer! See ya next time!
