With Kagome

"Gotta get, what does this say?" Kagome squinted her eyes trying to read a shopping list. "Oh she wanted pickled radish? Geez we haven't had that in a long time." Kagome said. The last time I had pickled radish was when I was with Inuyasha. Kagome remembered

But unknown to Kagome Cody was staying at the Sunset Shrine.

Chapter 4

A dark family secret

Unknown to Kagome Cody was lodging at the Sunset Shrine in the old garden house that Korari (kag's mom) was fixing up for the past week.

I wonder what Inuyasha is up to these days sigh Kagome thought to herself as she walked home from the store to the shrine she was looking at the note the handwriting all scratchy as it the writer had long nails.

Kagome sighed as she mindlessly walked up the shrine steps hitting her face into something … soft?

"Um hi you lost" she looks up to see … Cody?

"Cody?" Kagome asked.

"Yes? This is the Sunset Shrine is it not?" Cody asked

"It is, is this where you're staying?" Kagome started to interrogate him.

"It is. Your mom Korari was offered to house me seeing you guys live at a shrine and not just a normal home.

"Oh I see…" Kagome said a bit upset that her mom didn't tell her that there was going to be a new person at the shrine.

"Is this ok with you if not ill go live in a tr…I mean another shrine that's near the school if you want me to." Cody asked trying to be nice.

"No that's fine I really don't mind as long as you stay out of my way and leave me alone we'll get along just fine" Kagome murmured in a snotty 'tude.

"I'll try so anyway is your mom home?" Cody asked.

"Yea I think so she should be home she should be cooking dinner." Kagome said walking inside taking off her shoes and calling her mom. "Mom I'm home! And Cody's here too."

"Ah, Cody Doggmin right?" Mrs. Higurashi looked at him and winked unnoticed to Kagome she was busy glaring at Cody.

"Yes its me Cody and I was wondering if you can show me where I'm staying again I kinda forgot." Cody scratched the back of his head sweat dropping.

"Sure dear it's this way." Korari showed Cody the way to the old garden house she fixed up for him. " I already put your stuff away for you so that after school you can just relax. Oh and your cousin Koji called here I told him you'd call him back my dear." Korari handed him the telephone.

"Thanks a lot I don't know where I would be if it weren't for my cousin Koji" Cody stated taking the phone dialing Koji's number.

"Oh tell Koji, dear, that he is welcome to come over for dinner if he likes to." Korari said to Cody

"Yeah sure I'll tell him," Cody said

"Hey, is Koji there … thanks…ok…hey what's up…nothing, listen you want to come over for dinner. Mrs. Higurashi said it was fine...sure…I'll tell her…ok arigato…ja ne." Cody said hanging up the telephone. "Korari…Koji is bringing dessert."

"Ok dear"

"Kagome can I see your room?" Cody asked politely.

"NO!" Kagome shot a glare at him.

()An Hour later ()

Ding-dong

The doorbell rang.

"Hi Mrs. Higurashi" Koji stood there.

"Whoa! You look just like Souta." Kagome's jaw dropped.

"Souta?" Koji cocked his head to the side.

"My little brother." Kagome snorted.

"Oh" Koji and Cody both said.

"DINNER!" Korari shouted through the house from the kitchen.

"OK" they all called back.

() At the dinner table ()

"I would like to make a toast to long family." Koji raised his cup. "Now I have a secret I'd like to share with you all" Koji stood up. "Kagome, Souta, Cody, Korari," he whispered in his head mom. " I would like to tell you all that I am a part of this family the Higurashi's and that I am a Hanyou." Koji sat down.

Everyone sat down eating dinner quietly.

Kagome got up and silently marched up to her room.

() After Dessert ()

Kagome sat quietly in her room listening to her music taking in all the new information. Kagome fell asleep winding up dreaming about Inuyasha crying in her sleep, whilst everyone else sat in the living room conversing.

() Living Room ()

"Kagome seemed upset." Koji frowned.

"She'll be fine sweetie." Korari smiled.

Cody walked up the stairs to Kagome's room and sat on the edge of Kagome's bed watching her sleep the slowly reluctantly leaving. Sigh I wish she knew and understood. Cody thought as he turned around to get one last look.

() Downstairs ()

(Souta went to bed sitting in the kitchen was Cody Koji and Korari.)

"So you think she knows?" Cody asked sipping his coffee.

"No she is not suspecting a thing dear I think that Koji's little confession, shocked her enough that she wont think anything of it, Cody Dear." Korari sipped her tea.

"I just didn't expect her to act the way she did going all silent and such. Sigh" Koji munched on a cookie.

"Yes the real Kagome would flail her arms around you and say "I HAVE A BIG BROTHER! YAY!" and then call all of her friend bragging about having a big brother noting to herself that he is half demon of all things." Cody drank his coffee.

() The Next Day ()

Koji slept over and was offered a room at the shrine though he offered to stay in Cody's little "Hut" next to the well house. Cody was standing next to the well house looking at Jii-chan's seals that was put on the hut. Wondering over to the sacred tree running his and over his hand over the huge scar in the trunk. Kagome who are you.

() Back In the Feudal Era ()

Sango has back at her village a few times; Kohaku with he was able to live do to a miracle that happened when Naraku died. You see Naraku had not killed Kohaku completely. He was on the Brink of Death. He was going to die but Naraku had a spell to save him before Kagome took the jewel shard from his back. Kagura told Sango of the spell but it required a monk to chant and Miroku was more than willing to help his beloved Sango.

Miroku stayed at the village as a voluntary monk and still up to his "will you bare my child" Antics.

Shippo for a month cried his little eyes out. But soon found a way to remember Kagome. And well, things were looking up for the young fox.

Inuyasha, after Kagome left, disappeared from the village.

Present time

Kagome woke up the next morning with the thought of the Hanyou she loved, Inuyasha. She decided to ditch school for the day to hang out with her new brother Koji.

"So Koji,"

"Yeah?"

"How old are you?"

" I'm 20 years old in human age but in demon years I'm but a mere baby. Koji Scoffed.

"And may I see your demon form?" Kagome asked.
Koji took off his hat and twitched his brown ears.

"So you're a dog demon I presume?" Kagome played with Koji's ears.

"Hai I am but doesn't that make you a half demon too, Kagome?" Koji snorted.
