Kagome had Bella go pick up Souta after school, choosing to ride with Shippo. She explained to her sister that it would be best that this matter be handled by her and her pack. Bella had protested, wanting to accompany them to La Push but Kagome refused. When Bella tried to get Shippo to help her talk reason into her little sister, he just simply replied, "Our Alpha Bitch has spoken. This is a pack matter and you aren't invited." Bella, in her confusion, lost her will to fight it. Shippo pulled his flashy forest green Infiniti Essence into Sesshomaru's garage and parked. They walked in to find Kouga and Ayame already ready to go. All four got into Kouga's truck and they left for their meeting with the local tribe elders.
As they drove into the reservation, they could feel the wolves surrounding them, but staying far enough away so as not to be seen. Kouga pulled into the address that Kagome was given and they all got out. Kagome walked up and knocked on the door. A male barely older then her answered the door. He gave them all a once over then stepped aside to let them in. Kagome, with her pack following, walked straight into the living room where everyone was sitting. She sat down in a recliner, Shippo and Kouga standing on either side and Ayame sitting on the arm beside Kouga.
Billy gave them a welcome smile, "Kagome, I'm glad you made it. We can talk much more freely here."
Kagome gave a slight nod and a polite smile, "My pack and I wish to reside in Forks for a few years, at least until we must relocate."
Billy nodded in understanding, "So, you wish for our blessings to do so."
"Honestly, Forks is not your true territory, so while we do not need them, we would like your blessings." Kagome kept her face neutral waiting for their response.
"How dare you! Forks is under our protection!" The male who answered the door shouted.
"Enough!" Billy shouted just as loud.
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "While Forks may be under your protection, the treaty between you and the vampire coven that lives here states the Forks is neutral grounds. We already have their blessings to stay here so we don't absolutely need yours', but we do not wish for any conflict. We have simply come to ask for your feelings on the subject not your premission."
"We understand, my dear. We would like to know who our new neighbors are though." Billy gave a welcoming smile.
Kagome looked up at Shippo for a tense moment and then turned to Kouga. She turned back to Billy with an easy smile, "Our Alpha, who will not be here for another hand full of days, is an InuYoukai. Shippo here is a Kitsune. Kouga and Ayame, as well as a few of their men who will arrive tomorrow, are Ookami. I am known as a Miko."
Billy looked a bit confused, "I'm afraid I don't know what any of those terms mean."
Kagome shifted to lean on her unoccupied armchair, leaning her head on Shippo's hip, "They are all Youkai. I believe your English translation for that word is demon but we prefer spirit animals, very powerful ones. Our Alpha is a Inu or Dog. Shippo is a Kitsune or Fox. Kouga and Ayame are Ookami or wolves. I am a Miko. Your closest translation is priestess."
Billy nodded in understanding once more, "And I take it you are their Beta?"
They all four let out a chuckle, "No, I'm afraid you are mistaken. Shippo, here, is our Beta." She patted Shippo's leg.
"Then what the hell does that make you?" The hot headed male cut in once more.
Billy got a sinking feeling he already knew the answer to that question. The smirk on her face had him almost positive but her answer sealed it, "I am their Alpha Bitch."
