A Demon's True Nature

Family Greetings
Kagome was enveloped in the familiar blue light that transported her back and forth through different times. Making a soft touchdown, she looked up at the brown roof of the well house. Smirking, he jumped and made it onto the edge without fail. With her new demonic hearing, she listened for sounds outside.
The TV was on. It was probably Grandpa that was watching it. Souta was inside playing on his video game, it was Sunday. Her mother sat in her room, probably content with reading a book.
Satisfied, Kagome began to walk towards the house. She sniffed and recognized all of the familiar smells; although she could never tell the difference when she was human.
"Mom, Grandpa, Souta!" Kagome called into her home. "I'm back!" Footsteps met her ears. Souta was the first to arrive.
"Whoa!" exclaimed Souta. "Sis, what happened? You look like a demon!" Her grandpa arrived next and his eyes widened at the sight of her.
"Demon!" he shouted. He pulled out some fake sutras and threw them at Kagome. She shielded herself from the useless paper.
"Grandpa!" Kagome said. Grandpa (a/n: ill just call him that, and Kagome's mom, Mom.) He looked at her again and his eyes narrowed.
"What have you done with my granddaughter!" he yelled. He threw the papers at a more vicious rate. It was then that Mom came onto the scene.
"Dad, stop throwing papers around," scolded Mom. "That's not very nice." Noticing Kagome she asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"
"Mom!" Kagome looked at her intensely. Mom widened her eyes at this girl's voice. She instantly recognized the voice to be her own daughter.
"K-Kagome?" Mom stated weakly. "What happened?"
Kagome had told her long story. Everyone listened quietly and Grandpa stopped throwing papers halfway through the story. (He ran out of them) She skipped the part where Inuyasha had tried to kill her for Kikyou and her meeting with him.
"Wow!" Souta was the first to speak. "That's so cool! Am I a demon too?" He looked at his mother. Mom shook her head.
"Kagome, could I talk to you in the other room?" Mom asked her. Kagome had a feeling that she knew what this was about. Obeying her mother, she left into the dining room.
"Mom, I think that I know what you are going to say," Kagome told her mother. She nodded in response.
"Yes, I hope that you now realize that you were adopted." Kagome nodded, stating that her mother continue. "It all started fifteen years ago...
"You see, your father and I were just married. We were still young. We couldn't have a child just yet. We were planning to wait for a few more years. One day we found you on the steps of the shrine. It was your father who found you. You were not at all strange looking. You looked only like a normal baby. We then adopted you legally, your father naming you Kagome. After a few years with you, I was going to have Souta. Your father passed away then. You grew up very well. But no one had any idea that you were actually a demon. Today is a big shock for all of us." Mom looked her daughter directly in the eye. "This man named Tojo seems rather nice. But what happened to Inuyasha?" Kagome shook her head.
"Mom, that I will tell you another day," replied Kagome. She stood up, ready to leave. Mom gave her a smile.
"Bye Grandpa, bye Souta." Kagome waved to her family. "I'll try to visit more often." She walked into the well house and fingered her necklace. Waving to her family one last time, she jumped in.
