WOW! Okay, thank you all for your support...my plagarist has either removed their rip-off...or Web Master has de-activated their account.

Now thank you to all who have submitted an answer to my competition...but I'm not going to disclose the answer until the actual chapter...I do have more clues lined up for you all, but some of them do require you to 'think outside the square'. (And for those wondering, I am Australian...so I do have some Aussie references in there)

Okay...well...Winry's work is still holding strong...so...BRING ON THE FLUFF!

Kagome sighed as she packed the mop and bucket away, her tummy was rumbling, and if she knew the three boys seated on the couch, theirs would be too. Walking into the kitchen, she searched the cupboards until she found the secret stash of ramen her mother always hid away in case Inuyasha joined them for meals. As soon as the noodles were cooked, Kagome separated the ramen into four bowls, three normal, and one extra large. About to call out that lunch was ready, the miko turned to find the three demons sitting at the table, anxiously awaiting the meal.

Laughing, Kagome served lunch, placing the extra large helping in front of herself. The miko and her sons giggled uncontrollably at Inuyasha's crestfallen face, when he saw that he didn't receive the biggest portion, Kagome leant over and switched the smaller bowl in front of him for his real lunch, tweaking his ear in the process. The golden-eyed hanyou growled playfully at Kagome's game. The miko responded, poking her tongue at him, only to have it caught between Inuyasha's finger and thumb. "I think I told you what would happen if you did that," he told her, growling playfully once more, "And I'm more then happy to oblige you." Kagome blushed heavily as he released her tongue. The rest of the meal passed in silence, except for Shippo's inquiring glances and Kyo's giggles. "Your mum just arrived," Inuyasha told her as he slurped up the last of his ramen.

Sliding the rest of her lunch over to the larger hanyou, she ran to meet her mother at the door. "Kagome!" her mother cried as the door opened, "I didn't think you'd be back so soon." Kagome smiled in return, "We'll," she explained, "It's the new moon tonight, so Inuyasha's going to be human. So we thought it would be better to spend it here. That, and I wanted you to meet your grandsons." Her mother stared at her, she understood them wanting to be in the modern era for Inuyasha's human night, but, "What do you mean sons? I thought you only had Shippo," he mother asked her. "Well, the night I returned, I found Kyo. He as orphaned inu hanyou, and I just couldn't leave him, so now I have two sons."

Kagome led her mother into the kitchen. "Mum," she told her, "I'd like you to meet Shippo," pointing to the red-haired child in blue, "And Kyo," indicating the mini-yasha, "Your grandsons. Boys," she said, turning to face her pups, "This is your grandma." Kyo gazed at the woman apprehensively, while Shippo beamed. "They're adorable," her mother cried, Shippo launched himself at his 'grandma' while, Kyo glanced over at Inuyasha, who winked discretely at the smaller hanyou, before leaping into her arms to join Shippo.

Inuyasha smiled to himself, he knew that Kagome's mother would treat Shippo and Kyo like family. He remembered the day she pulled him aside and told him to call her 'mum' instead of Mrs Higurashi. She had told him that he was as much a part of the family as anyone else, and as such, she wanted him to refer to her as mum, and Mrs Higurashi made her feel old. "Hey mum," the hanyou said, much to the surprise of the two pups in her arms. Placing them on the table, she threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck. "Hello Inuyasha," she told him, "How long will you be staying this time?" Inuyasha returned the hug, while dodging her attempts to touch his ears. Only one person, since his own mother, had the privilege of touching his ears, and that was Kagome, but he would never tell her that, at least not yet. "We're staying for a couple of days," Kagome cut in, "I want to give Kyo and Shippo some time to get to know you." Her mother beamed, "Well," she whispered excitedly, "I guess I better go shopping for some clothes for these boys. See you in a few hours." Her mother ran out of the house, eager to start shopping for the two new additions to her family.

Sorry...I just love the tongue-poking-thing...I think it adds a continuational element to the story. (I had a bad run in with the tongue thing myself...My male friend was poking his tongue out at me, and I told him 'don't stick it out if you don't want to use it,'...to which he replied by un-zipping his fly.)

I know I've been asking for high reviews lately, but that's for two reasons.

The first being that I love your input. I love hearing what elements of the story you pick up on the most. What parts you like the most. I collect all the data and store it in a folder, which I use for the next time I write. It helps me improve and write stories that appeal to a wider audience.

The second being that I also count your guesses as reviews. I like to know where your train of thoughts are. I like to know if anyone can second-guess me.

That...and I know you can reach the targets, coz all of you are TOTALLY AWESOME! You have got to be the best group of people. You're all sympathetic to each others' problems, and you actually care about the stories. (You would be amazed at how few people actually review at MediaMiner.)

For the next chapter...960 Reviews.

May your thoughts and creativity flow,
