Disclaimer: don't own anything dealing with Inuyasha

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, ok a long while, but I've been pretty busy with graduation that's coming up and I'm going to be attending Clemson University in January 2006 YES! I know I should have wrote sooner but… anyway I'll try and make the story better, it's not the best I know but I never have been good in English.

Not but a few minutes later the group had made it to the Sunset Shrine and home to the Higurashi's. "Bye Sango, Miroku see ya'll later," Kagome told them both and watched as they drove away with Inuyasha standing behind her. "O.K. lets go introduce you to my family," she addressed to the silent hanyou. All the response she got was a soft 'Feh'.

'Well he certainly seems to have calmed down a bit,' thought Kagome as she led them both up the many steps to the top. When they both reached to top Kagome pointed out the different places on the grounds, "Over there is the shrine and over there is the well house, but don't go in there, no ones allowed to and there's the house, and I will warn you that my mom, grandpa, and brother will probably have some kind of freaky reaction so just try and be nice, o.k.," asked Kagome.

"Whatever, wench, just don't ask me to actually like them," grumped Inuyasha. Kagome turned around and gave him a dull look, "Of course, that would be too much, just act civilized," responded the girl with a sigh and opened the door.

"Mom, I'm home!" The sound of footsteps approaching from the kitchen came and was soon followed by the person. "Hi mom, guess what I got," smiled Kagome while holding the front door ajar so Inuyasha wouldn't be visible to her mother. Her mom looked thoughtful for a minute, "Did you get an 'A' in math, dear?"

Kagome gave her a disbelieving stare, "I'm not that bad in math, mom, but I did get a pet," after saying the word 'pet' a growl came from behind the door. "Oh, is it a dog of some kind," questioned Mrs. Higurashi. "You could say that," and with a flick of her wrist, Kagome opened the door all the way to reveal Inuyasha with his head slightly bowed.

"Come in, Inuyasha and you can set those bags down by the wall," Kagome looked to her mom after shutting the door, "Well,…"

"Why he's cute, and I love those ears," Mrs. Higurashi moved to stand in front of Inuyasha and slowly reached up and started to gently rub his velvety ears.

Kagome watched all this with an unbelieving look, 'I didn't think he would like anyone to pet his ears, but who cares, I'm next,' Kagome thought and watched how Inuyasha behaved like a little puppy in front of her mom.

"What's your name, dear?" questioned Mrs. Higurashi. "Inuyasha, ma'am," Inuyasha quietly spoke. "Well you can call me Uma," smiling at Inuyasha, Uma led him into the kitchen.

"What about me," cried Kagome stalking after them, 'Why is he acting like this, I know it's not because I told him not to,' wondered Kagome. "Hey mom, where's Souta and Grandpa?"

"I sent them to do a little grocery shopping, your grandfather was going to go alone, but I thought it best to send Souta with him," Uma sat Inuyasha down at the table, "in fact they should back any second now," she stated while looking through the pantry to find something to cook.

Not more than five minutes later the three heard a yell, "MOM, we're back!" throughout the house.
