Kagome rushed through school the next day. Ayame promised to pick her up afterwards. Kagome excitedly told the Cullens at lunch. Emmett and Jasper were happy for her while Edward and Rosalie were still unhappy with the whole situation and Alice had turned into the peace keeper. Kagome refused to let any of the negativity to ruin her good mood. All seven of them waited outside in the parking lot at the end of the day. The lot had barely cleared before a huge bright white Ford 4X4 high top pulled in. The truck had barely made it to a stop before Ayame was jumping out of it, she was barely showing her belly bump. Kagome rushed her and they engulfed each other in a hug. They started talking in rapid fire Japanese. Kouga made it around the truck and grabbed them both around the waste, spinning them around causing them to squeal. They giggled when he sat them back down and each gave him a kiss on the cheek at the same time. Bella cleared her throat to get their attention before they started up again. Kagome gave a girlish chuckle, "Oh sorry! Guys, this is my older sister, Bella. Her boyfriend and his siblings stayed to say 'hi' too. And they are some of my very best friends, Ayame and Kouga."

Ayame greeted Bella with a polite smile while Kouga looked over the vampires that Kagome had warned them about yesterday. Kouga made sure his thoughts were in Japanese and when the mind reader started to look agitated, he gave him a fanged smirk. The vampire answered his smirk with a dirty look causing Kouga to let out a laugh, "Your boyfriend seems to be irritated for some reason."

Bella looked over at Edward but he just seemed to ignore her, "He's just being childish. Don't mind him."

Kagome gave a laugh, "Oh I already warned them. Kouga is just messing with him because of what happened yesterday." Bella gave her a look but Kagome just waved it off.

Kouga gave them his cocky smile, "Well I can mess with him another time. Where's little brother at? Ayame wants to spoil him rotten already!"

Ayame smacked his arm, "I just mentioned giving him some school clothes since I figured he didn't pack much. We have some pants that our youngest barely wore once and some button ups that are fairly new."

Kagome gave a laugh, "Yea he only packed three days worth. He didn't realize that we weren't gonna get uniforms. He is still at the middle school."

"Alright then, everyone in the truck!" Kouga started herding all three of them into his truck.

"But what about my truck?" Bella tried to protest.

"We can come back and get it later. In you go!" Kouga ordered.

Bella reluctantly got in the back while Kagome eagerly jumped in taking the middle back seat. Ayame leaned over the console smiling at them and then her and Kagome started chatting again, this time in English, "Anyways, Kouga was looking at the real estate around here and there are a few places within walking distance of your father's house, up for sale. We were looking at one that was only two houses down from you but Sesshomaru already bought it. He is letting us stay there while we find something."

"Oh wow! How did he mange that so quick?" Kagome asked.

Kouga gave a chuckle, "It helps that he paid all in cash."

"Shoulda known." Kagome shook her head. "Are you guys looking at any other places?"

Ayame nodded excitedly, "There is a place a few more houses down from Sesshomaru's, that is even bigger. We will be able to fit our herd much better in that one. Kouga has been on the phone with their agent all day. He's trying to haggle the price down a bit."

"Damn right!" Kouga bombed out, "It is way over priced. I make my living making houses, so I know how much they are worth. I only plan on having it until I build us a better one anyways, so why over pay for something that we are barely gonna use."

Ayame nodded, patting his arm, "I know dear. I was getting to that part before you interrupted me." She turned back to Kagome, "But like I was saying, we are staying in Sesshomaru's place starting tonight. It's a four bedroom, so I think he got one big enough for you, Shippo and himself plus a guest room. I know you are staying with your father but I'm sure Sesshomaru will still set aside a room for you."

Kagome nodded, "Sounds like him. The middle school is the next left, Kouga." Kouga turned, getting into the pick up line. When they reached the front of the school, Kagome poked her head out of the backseat window, "Souta! Over here!"

Souta whistled appreciatively at the truck then hopped into the back, "Nice!"

"Souta this is Kouga and Ayame!" Kagome point to them, as Kouga pulled away heading for their temporary home.

"Cool! You guys are the Ookami that traveled with my sister right?" Souta asked excitedly.

"Yes, they are but we can talk about all that another time." Kagome warned him off the subject.

Souta looked at Bella then back at Kagome and switched to Japanese, "Are you not gonna tell her?"

Kagome sighed and answered back in the same language, "I have no intention of revealing more then absolutely needs to be, especially not before I even have a chance to speak with the local wolf pack."
