Kagome rolled her eyes, "I will not repeat myself." She had picked up quite a few good and bad habits from Sesshomaru.
Alice decided that a subject change was in order, "Okay, so I get how you are blocking Edward and Jasper, but how are you blocking me?"
Kagome arched her eyebrow, another of those habits, "I don't even know what you do?"
"Oh right!" Alice giggled, "I can see visions of the future."
"Oh." Kagome nodded in understanding, "Time and I have... personal issues we haven't worked out quite yet." She chuckled at her own inside joke, while Souta shook his head in disapproval.
Alice gave her a confused look, "I don't understand."
Souta snorted, "You don't want to. Trust me." Kagome just smiled with a twinkle in her eye.
Carlisle clapped his hands together, getting everyone's attention, "Well, now that we have cleared all of that up, why don't we all get comfortable and get to know one another, hm?"
Kagome gave a polite smile and nodded. Souta grinned, "So vampires don't eat real food, right? Does that mean that you guys don't have any? Cause I could go for something to eat." Kagome dropped her face into her hand in embarrassment.
Everyone chuckled at the kid's ease and Esme perked up, "I can make you something, if you want."
Souta looked up at Kagome for approval. She arched her brow for a moment then nodded. Souta jumped to his feet in excitement, "Sweet! Food, food, food, food, food!" He dashed across the room heading to the other side of the house, "Kitchen's this way, right?"
Esme giggled in joy at being able to care for a child, if only for little while, "Wait up, sweetheart!"
Emmett stretched his arm across Kagome's lap to poke Bella in the leg, "Hey!" Poke, "Hey!" Poke, "Watcha poutin' for?"
Bella huffed, "Because your brother is a jerk!"
Emmett chuckled, "Well I coulda told you that, but isn't that why we love him?" Bella turned her head away, refusing to answer or let Emmett trick her into not being mad anymore. Emmett propped his chin on his hand with his arm still resting on Kagome's lap, "You want me to beat him up for you?"
Bella sighed, "No."
Kagome grinned, "You want me to beat him up for you?" Edward twitched.
Bella smiled that time, "No, I don't want anyone to beat Edward up."
Kagome looked down at Emmett. "I say we beat him up anyway." She teased. Emmett wiggled his eyebrows causing Kagome to laugh.
Carlisle shook his head, "I'm gonna have to agree with Bella on this one."
Emmett threw his arms up in the air childishly. "You just had to ruin all the fun!" He joked.
Kagome laughed at his childishness just as her cell phone began to ring. She checked the caller ID, then seeing that it was the shrine, she answered it, "Hey mom! It's kinda early for you to be calling isn't it?" She didn't get a reply and started feeling nervous, "Hello?" She waited a few more moments before turning over to a dark rage as the line remained silent. Her face went completely blank and her voice cold, "Who is this?"
Everyone in the room tensed at her mood change, staring at her, and then she heard a deep chuckle that she instantly recognized, "Miko, must you always make everything so very difficult?"
