Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha nor will I ever! Sad isn't it…

k anyway, lolz thanx to Damian 2.0 I realized that I still haven't explained that mysterious dude in the hospital in chapter 8, umm…sry about that guys, lolz. I guess I'll tell ya now seeing as he will be in this chapter. The dude is Sesshoumaru. Damian 2.0 was close though, and partially right if I really think about it…the man was originally supposed to be Naraku but I decided that Naraku had to come into the story later so I made it Sesshoumaru. Oh and his mate/wife is Rin…don't ask why it's only their first born if it's been like five hundred years, cuz I don't know myself. K? Oh and just pretend for now that Kags already knows about them...i ono Ai's Dad introduced them or something? think of whatever...

Chapter 11

Their Lives as Teenagers

Ok, 10 years later… (do u realize I have said Ok at the beginning of the past 3 paragraphs…)

Ring Ring Ring…

Mitsukai groaned. Her kawaii dog ears flattened against her head in a failing attempt to block out the annoying ringing sound of the digital alarm clock on her bedside table. She groaned again when the ringing continued. Without actually opening her eyes Mitsukai lifted her arm to fell around her bedside table for the annoying contraption which still rang. It seemed like it was getting louder and louder. Mitsukai growled in frustration. Finally she found the alarm clock and she pounded her palm into the snooze button, which didn't seem to want to turn off the alarm this morning. After five good pounds the ringing died away, though it continued to ring in Mitsukai's head for a good 5 minutes more. By the time the ringing in her ears had stopped, Mitsukai had fallen back to sleep.

-Inukuro's Room-

Inukuro awoke to the sound of his sister's alarm clock in the next room. He, being the morning person of the two, threw off his blankets immediately and saat up in his bed. He yawned as he stretched his stiff muscles. He looked up at the clock on the wall, it was 6:45 am. Then he looked at the calendar. It was April.13th : moving day. He sighed, he was going to miss Kyoto.

Kagome had decided to finally move back to Tokyo with the twins. She had been offered a good job there with one of Sesshoumaru's companies. She and the twins would be staying in a pent house apartment provided by Sesshoumaru that would be close to her work and the high school. Inukuro and Mitsukai were a bit upset about having to leave Kyoto and their friends behind, but were also curious about what living in the city of Tokyo would be like. It would be different. Mitsukai had laughed a bit when she thought about it. Inutaisho would probably watch her more closely. Yes, Inutaisho would be coming with them to Tokyo.

Anyway, Inukuro got up and walked over to his closet. He stared at the emtpy closet for a moment before realizing that his clothes had been packed away the day before and shipped off to Tokyo (A/N well not shipped just u know...moved...moving van and shit...nvm u know what i mean). Kagome had left a clean pair of clothes for him on his bedside dresser (A/N oh, i forget to mention that most of the furniture and stuff is being sold with the house. The apartment Sesshoumaru was giving them was already furnished). He went back to his dresser and took, took the clothes and headed to the bathroom down the hall. As he past Mitsukai's room he banged on her door with his fist.

"Come on Kai! Get up!" he yelled as he banged once more on the door. (A/N sry another author note hehe sry, kk, i know that Kai is kinda a guys name in japanese, but Mitsukai mostly hangs out with guys and so has a guys nickname. Like samantha sam (actually bad example...) or Christine or Kristen Chris or something)

His sensitive dog black dog ears picked up a muffled groan from behind the door then some choice words about 'stupid older brothers' and 'going away'. Inukuro sighed and shook his head. True, he and his sister were twins, but he had been born a few minutes before she had. As he shook his head again making his way to the washroom again he got an idea. He ran back to Mitsukai's room and bonged on the door again.

"GO AWAY!" Mitsukai yelled into her pillow.

"Okay, I guess I get the bathroom first this morning then." said Inukuro, mockingly.

Their was a tense silence from the room. Mitsukai suddenly jumped out of bed, grabbed her clothes off the bedside table and ran for the door. She flung open the door, only to have it slammed back in her face. She screamed and flung the door open again. She looked down the hallway to see her idiot of a brother running towards the bathroom, laughing maniacally. She growled. She hated it when Inukuro got to the bathroom first. It wasn't that he took long it was just she always got the bathroom first, and got really annoyed when Inukuro beat her to it.

"INUKURO!" she screamed and took off down the hall after him.

She caught up to him quickly, but just as she reached the bathroom door it was slammed in her face.

"ERGH! Inukuro you are so DEAD!" yelled Mitsukai through the bathroom door. 'That's the second time this morning that a door has been slammed in my face.' she thought.

Inukuro replied with nothing but : "Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah."

Downstairs Kagome listened to the familiar racket upstairs while doing some last minute cleaning. She sighed. 'When will they grow up?They remind me so much of him.' she thought.

At that moment Inutaisho entered the room in his human form, shaking his head. He sighed loudly. Kagome laughed, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

"Morning," she greeted as Inutaisho sat down at the table in the almost empty kitchen.

"Good morning, my dear daughter-in-law." he replied. "Already for to---"

He was interupted by another annoyed scream curtesy of Mitsukai because Inukuro was taking extra long in the washroom to annoy her, which seemed to be doing it's purpose. Inutaisho sighed yet again.

"Pretty soon we'll have two bathrooms and we won't have to worry about this anymore." reassured Kagome.

"I can't wait."

-Back Upstairs-

Mitsukai punched Inukuro in the shoulder as he left the bathroom. Then stormed into the bathroom, slamming and locking the door. Inukuro glared after her as she slammed the door in his face, still rubbing his upper arm.

"What was that for?" he called through the door doing his best to act innocent.

All he heard in reply was a dangerous growl from within the bathroom, which was soon drowned out by the shower being started. Inukuro huffed then continued downstairs to the kitchen where his mother, Kagome, and grandfather, Inutaisho, sat eating the last of the fruit. He slumped down into a chair and swiped an apple from the basket in the middle of the table. Kagome glared at him from across the table. Catching her glare he stared at her innocently for a moment.

"...what?" he asked.

"Ahem."

"Oh morning Mom, morning Inutaisho." he greeted, proud at himself for remembering. Kagome and Inutaisho sighed. (A/N i don't know if i mentioned this before but the twins refer to Inutaisho and 'Inutaisho' not grandpa or anything.)

-In The Bathroom-

Mitsukai started the shower and let the water run for a moment to let it get to the desired temperature. Once just the way she liked it she got undressed and stepped into the shower. She let the water run over her for a moment, soaking her hair right to the scalp. Then she lathered some shampoo into. This tickled her black doggie ears which caused her to giggle a bit and even purr. Which she found extremely embarassing, purring somewhat like a cat, so she stopped and rinced out the shampoo. Then she conditioned her hair, letting the conitioner soak in for a while before rinsing it. All the while she hummed one of her favourite songs quietly to herself. Soon she was singing along with the radio to Girlish by Ayumi Hamasaki. Unknown to her, Inukuro was outside the bathroom recording her singing, snickering to himself the whole time.

Finally Mitsukai finished in the shower. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it tightly around her. Once out of the shower she proceeded to brush her teeth (well fangs), dry her and brush her raven (with hot pink ends and a hot pink streak in the front), and finally get dressed. She got dressed into a pair of low-rise flared jeans that were ripped slightly in random places. She wore a black tank top that was tight around her chest then flowed out just underneath her breast, and a pearl pink arm warmer. Satisfied with her outfit, but not bothering with make up or anything, Mitsukai swung open the bathroom door and skipped down the stairs to the kitchen. She gave Kagome a quick peck on the cheeck then glared at Inukuro as she grabbed an apple from the fruit basket. Taking a bite out of the apple she headed towards the front door.

"Where are you going?" asked Kagome.

"Nowhere special," answered Mitsukai. 'That's a lie.' she thought to herself,'This place is my most sacred place.' "Going to my hang out to say bye to some friends."

"Oh, okay be back by 8:00 though." said Kagome.

"Yes Mom, oh, Inutaisho, are you coming?"

"Be right there sweety, you go on ahead."

Mitsukai nodded and ran out the door and down the street. Soon Inutaisho in his demon form (A/N you know how Inuyasha's father is this big ass dog demon thing when he transforms? Well for know he's just going to be like a really big dog... like... the size of a NewFoundlander, ok? For those of you who know what a NewFoundlander is.). Mitsukai smiled and then took off in the direction of the forest behind her old elementary school. Inutaisho, catching on to the race, ran after her. They ran until they reached the old burial stone in the serene clearing behind the school. Mitsukai laughed as she called out for Izayoi.

"Izayoi! We're here."

Izayoi appeared with her usual celestial glow. Mitsukai smiled and ran into her Grandmother's arms hugging her tightly. Izayoi hugged her back.

Mitsukai, since the day of the attack at her school, had come to see Izayoi with Inutaisho everyday. Izayoi often gave her useful advice and comfort especially when Mitsukai was upset. She also came here just to hang out and talk about stuff. She would come to the clearing each lunch break and sit by the crystal clear stream that ran through the clearing, just soaking her feet in the cool water. In winter she would sit in the tree by Izayoi's grave and listen to her stories. Inutaisho would just sit beside her by the stream or by Izayoi when Mitsukai sat in the tree. They valued their treasured quality time. Mitsukai felt more attached to her grandparents than her mother. And in truth she was.

"I'm going to miss you, Izayoi." said Mitsukai as she and Izayoi pulled away. Izayoi hugged her again.

"I'll miss you too Mitsukai." she pulled away then hugged Inutaisho. "And you Inutaisho."

"We'll visit as often as Mom allows." said Mitsukai.

"Come on, Mitsukai. We only had time for a quick good bye." said Inutaisho.

Mitsukai nodded, giving her grandmother another hug. Finally she let go and she and Inutaisho ran back through the forest to their now empty house.

When they returned Kagome and Inukuro were waiting for them in the car. Mitsukai got into the back seat, glaring at Inukuro, still mad at him for stealing the bathroom earlier that morning. Inutaisho got into the front passenger seat.

The drive to Tokyo was long and boring. Inukuro and Mitsukai both leaned against the window staring at the objects they passed. (which were not much more to a blur to them). Finally Inukuro got fed up. He sighed, then rummaged through his backpack for his mp3 player. Finally finding it he put the earphones on on (hehe his kawaii ears, how would he put earphones on those...just say it's those ones you stick in ure ears k). Suddenly he remembered what he had done earlier that day while Mitsukai was in the washroom. He smirked evilly at Mitsukai as she glanced at him. He skipped through the songs until he found the one he was looking for. All ready to burst out into laughter, he was shocked when what he heard was actually good. His face fell in a confused look. Mituskai glared at him, a bit confused as to why he looked so confused.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked.

He turned to her, "Huh?"

Mitsukai sighed, "What are you listening to?"

He took the earphones out and handed them to Mitsukai. "I was going to black mail you with this...but it's actually good."

Mitsukai gasped and snatched the earphones away from her brother and quickly put them in. She gasped again when she heard her own voice. In the background she could hear the shower running. 'hmm, I am pretty good' she thought. But tht didn't excuse Inukuro.

"Inukuro!" she yelled.

"Hey, Mitsukai what did I say about yelling in the car?" scolded Kagome.

"Mom! He recorded me singing in the shower!"

Inukuro snickered but immediately shut up with another glare from Mitsukai. 'Is it just me or is everyone glaring at me today?' he thought.

"Inukuro, don't record your sister's singing. Mitsukai, don't yell in the car." scolded Kagome.

"Hmph." was heard from both of the teens in the back seat.

Mitsukai still had Inukuro's mp3 player. Smiling devilishly to herself she quickly deleted the song off the mp3 player and flung it back at Inukuro.

Yes, the trip was very long, especially since the mp3 incident the twins seemed to nag each other for every little thing.

FINALLY, they arrived in Tokyo and the twins shut up, taking in all the new sights. After a few wrong turns and many refrences back to the map, they finally arrived at the tall city apartment building. Kagome parked in a reserved parking, just for them, and they all got out of the car. Both Mitsukai and Inukuro stared up in awe at the huge building. Actually it wasn't that huge. There were about 15 floors. There new apartment was on the 15th floor. Inukuro and Mitsukai glanced excitedly, both challenging the other to a race. Inukuro took off first leaving Mitsukai behind in by the car.

"Hey!"

She took off after him and was soon at his heels. At the glass, entrance doors, they nearly collided into a tall man. The man was dressed in a business suit and his long silver hair was pulled back into a low ponytail. Mitsukai and Inukuro glanced down at the ground.

"Sorry Uncle Sesshoumaru." they said in unison.

"It's okay, next watch where you're going though." forgave Sesshoumaru with his even tone.

The twins looked up at their uncle excitedly.

"Is Kenji here?" Mitsukai asked excitedly.

"Yes, he's waiting for you guys up in the suite." said Sesshoumaru. "Here's the key."

He held up the inticate silver key and both teens reached to snatch ot from his hand. He snatched it away.

"Hey!" they both whined.

"Hold your horses there's two." said Sesshoumaru.

He handed each of them a silver key and they ran into the lobby to the nearby elevators.

They waited impatiently in the elevator both bouncing up and down on the balls of their feet. Finally they arrived at the 15th floor. But the elevator doors would not open. Inukuro banged on the door.

"Aaah they've locked us in here! We'll starve! Hmm, maybe we can get out through the ceiling of the elevator." he joked.

"Use the key, genius." said Mitsukai, sticking her key into the keyhole with the number 15 on it.

She turned the key and the elevator doors opened to reveal their new home. Inukuro stared for a moment from the row of keyholes to the now open doors, then back to the keyhole.

"Oh." he said intelligently. (sarcasm, don't you love it, a teen's best friend). (A/N when i say intelligently i mean rather stupidly).

He turned to look back at Mitsukai, but she was no longer in the elevator. She ran out into the giant living room. She squealed excitedly and flopped down onto the couch.

"Kami Inukuro! Look at the size of this place. Ohoh, look! We have a HUGE plasma TV!" Mitsukai squealed excitedly. She looked around for the remote, which she found lying on the coffee table.

Inukuro stared at his sister in disbelief. As hard as Mitsukai tried to act tough, she could act so...so...girlish sometimes...and weird. It was kind of scary. He finally stepped out of the elevator, taking his eyes away from his sister and looking around the large living room. Suddenly the lightsstarted flashing different colours and strobe lights flashed. Inukuro yelped in surprise and tripped over a small table, falling to the ground. Then the lights went back to normal.

"Oops, wrong remote. But that was so cool! Wasn't it Inukuro!" she said excitedly. Inukuro didn't answer. "Inu?"

She looked behind her to see Inukuro lying sprawled on the floor of the living room. Mitsukai giggled and turned around hanging over the back of the big leather corner couch. (which wasn't in a corner, but in the middle of the room). Her giggle turned into a laugh.

"Watchya doing down there big brother?" she asked, trying as best she could not to burst into a fit of laughter.

Inukuro jumped up. He pounced at his sister only to be held back by the collar of his shirt. Confused, he looked behind him. Holding him back was their cousin, Kenji. Inukuro glared at Kenji.

Kenji, was the same age as Inukuro and Mitsukai. In fact they shared the same birthday. Kenji was the oldest, by a three hours, give or take. He had silver hair like his father's except his was cut short. But his eyes were like his mothers, a light brown colour.

"Hey Kenji!" cried Mitsukai.

She stuck her tongue out at Inukuro. Kenji let go of Inukuro then walked around the couch to sit beside Mituskai. Mituskai turned around and slid back into her seat. Inukuro also sat down in a big leather chair across from Mitsukai and Kenji.

"Hey Kai, hey Kuro." he said. "Since you guys are finally here, what's say I give the grand tour?"

"Hell yea!" exclaimed Mitsukai.

At that moment the adults walked into the room, well Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Kagome, and then Inutaisho in his demon form. Kagome scowled at Mitsukai.

"Language Mitsukai." she scolded.

"Yes, Mom, sorry Mom." sighed Mitsukai.

"Okay, let's go you guys." said Kenji.

"Kay,"

"Coming," said Inukuro.

"Where are you going?" Kagome asked.

"I'm showing them around the apartment and then I'm gonna show them the neighbourhood." explained Kenji.

Kenji, Mitsukai, and Inukuro got up off the couch and crossed the living room a wall covered by curtains. Kenji grabbed a rope then pulled it, revealing a huge, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling window. Mitsukai gasped. They had a perfect view of the city. It was beautiful. It looked down at the city park below them. Though it was now night, the park lamps lit up the path, and the cherry blossoms. Beyond the park was more city. They could see the lights of the other buildings and the streets. Mitsukai squealed excitedly after staring in awe for a moment. 'She's acting really weird tonight.' Inukuro thought. But couldn't help but smile himself. Then Kenji lead the twins down a wide hall lined with doors. He went to the first door on the right and opened it to a huge bathroom. The bathroom was very spacious with a huge hot tub bath and a roomy shower room. It was all very elegant. Everything was kind of a antique gold style. (i don't know how to explain it but it is a bathroom, no one really needs to know.) Then the first door on the left opened to a library and study room. The second door on the right was Kagome's room, the one on the left, Inutaisho's room. They then went back to the living room, which was attached to the large kitchen and dining room. In the right and left bottom corners of the living room were two black steel, spiral staircases. The left staircase lead up stairs to Inukuro's room, the right to Mitsukai's room. Between the two rooms was another bathroom, which was much like the downstairs bathroom...exactly the same actually.

Mitsukai sprinted up the spiral staircase to check out her room. Upon entering the room, Mitsukai gasped and squealed in delight. (she's doing that a lot isn't she?). The room was way bigger than her room in Kyoto had been. The walls divided into four triangles. The triangles were painted either black or hot pink. (opposing trianglesame colour). Three of the wall were designed that way. The fourth was was a wall-to-wall/floor-to-ceiling window like the one in the living room. It, too, was covered by heavy black curtains. Mitsukai ran over to the curtained window and pulled the curtains open. The view was the same as the living room one, the city park and busy street below. Finally Mitsukai's gaze wandered from the view below to her bed. The bed was a four poster, queen-size. The comforters were hot pink with loads of different sized black pillows. Mitsukai threw herself onto the soft bed and lay there for a moment staring up at her ceiling. She stared at the ceiling for a while, before realizing it was different. The ceiling was painted black, but in the center of it was a purple crescent moon. Mitsukai recognized it as her family's crest. She stared up at it for a while more before looking around at the rest of the room. Against one wall there was a metal framed desk, with a glass desk top. On the desk was a flat screen monitor and computer. Against the other wall was a big (smaller than the TV downstairs but still big) plasma TV mounted on the wall. Scattered around the TV area were three silver bean bag chairs with either black or pink designs on them. On a small shelf below the TV was a DVD player. Mitsukai was in love...with her room. (she really isn't normally like this...normally). Mitsukai flopped down into one of the bean bags. It was really comfortable.

Suddenly she heard footsteps coming up the spiral staircase to her room. She looked over to the entrance from the spiral staircase. As she did Kenji walked in. He looked around the room then smiled. Then he turned to his cousin.

"So, you like it?" he asked.

"Like it? Hell no! I love it!" she exclaimed.

Kenji laughed. "Have you seen your closet yet?"

"Umm, no." replied Mitsukai.

Kenji walked across the room to the closet doors. He swung them open and stepped into the closet. 'Did he just step into my closet? Oh my God!' she thought, getting the idea.'Oh my God! I have a walk-in closet. How cool is that?'. She jumped up off her bean bag then ran over to the closet. She stepped in and gasped. Clothes lined the walls. Mitsukai started going through outfits.

"Half of these aren't even mine!"

"I know, Mom went shopping yesterday." replied Kenji. "Man, that woman loves to shop."

Mitsukai laughed. At that moment Inukuro entered the room through the door that lead to the bathroom. Mitsukai and Kenji left the closet.

"Are you guys ready to go yet?" Inukuro asked.

"Yep,"

"I'll meet you guys downstairs, I'll be right there."

The two boys shrugged and headed downstairs.

A/N kk pplz, that's it...finally... that was really long! Maybe one of my longest but i don't know. Oh and if it's too long PLZ tell me.
