Recap-Kisa sighed and smiled as she got out her cell phone and dialed Kouga's number. When she heard it ring Kisa handed Yoshi the phone and Sakura watched anxiously.

Kouga woke up to the sharp cry of his cell phone and without checking the caller id, Kouga growled and answered the phone woken up from his much needed sleep.
"What!" He snarled into the phone. He heard the person gasp and whimper. He heard the phone switch hands and heard a familiar voice.
"Hi, how are you? We decided to call, but if you aren't in the mood we'll just…"
"No." He said, gently shaking his head. "But what time is it over there?"
Kouga heard Kisa gasp, and he yawned.
"The time difference! I am soooo sorry, I completely forgot. Its 12:45 p.m. over here, what time is it there?"
Kouga sat up from his bed and rubbed his eyes. He stared at the clock.
"11:45 a.m. There is a thirteen-hour difference. Can you put who ever was on earlier back on?"
"Sure!" Kisa said happily. Kouga winced at her pitch, but smiled at the same time. He couldn't deny it. He missed her.
"Guess what? We met Sesshoumaru and Rin. Rin is a hanyou like Kura. What have you been doing? We all miss you lots!" Yoshi said. Kouga swore he was talking fifty miles an hour.
"Thanks, I miss you guys too. I haven't been doing much. Jackie, Kyle, and Jamie said to tell you guys 'hi' when I saw them yesterday. How's acting?"
"A little boring, we don't start filming for six more months!"
"Yeah, sounds about right."
Kouga heard muttering in the background and the phone switched hands.
"Guess what daddy, I'm the angel in Uncle Tom's Cabin! Oh, what does papaya taste like? Mom says its good."
"I don't remember, I'm allergic to it."
"Oh… Thailand is hot! Tomorrow we're going shopping with Ayame, Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Myouga while Mom is getting her choreography done." Sakura said.
"We love you!" The twins said in unison to the phone. Kouga was now wide-awake.
"So, I'm so sorry for forgetting the time differences." Kisa apologized for a second time.
"Relax, I'm awake now. Anything happen over there."
"Sango…"

Kouga tried to go back to sleep, but he couldn't. He looked at the clock, 1:57. Kouga dubbed going back to sleep a useless idea and got out of bed. He looked at his computer and sighed. Five more pages.
His editor said he needed only five more pages, the end of his book, and he would be free to leave.

Kagome went to her second singing lesson, the one for Anna. She ran through her songs with her newly acquired accent and sang her heart out.
By the time dinner came she was exhausted.
Only Kurshi (See previous chapters) Sesshoumaru, and Rin were at the table when she got down there.
"Everyone else already ate early due to their new schedule." Sesshoumaru stated as he lifted his fork to his mouth and ate the fried noodles.
Kisa sat down nest to Yoshi and she began to eat. Yoshi looked at the papaya, and took a bite; he liked it! He ate some more and his face got sticky in the juices. Rin and Sakura laughed. Kisa smiled warmly at him and was thankful that she could relax in her room for the rest of the night.
"Mommy, you should try this!" Yoshi said as he took another bite.
"Ok." Kisa took a chunk of papaya off of Yoshi's plate and she smiled. It tasted ok, she knew what papaya tasted like, she just never cared to much for it.
"Mommy, tomorrow are you going to be busy after the choreography?" Sakura whispered quietly
"No, after that I'm free."
"Do you think we can go shopping with you after your done?"
"Ok, but don't you think Rin would get lonely?"
Sesshoumaru looked at Rin and sighed. "Ayame, Rin, and I could wait. They are only going over the basics of the movement anyway."
Sakura looked excited and ate her food in a hurry.
"You can eat as fast as you want, but that won't make tomorrow come faster."
"It might she said."
Kisa rolled her eyes and giggled. Sesshoumaru watched Rin as she finished her meal and was allowed to leave to the room. Kurshi asked if they could go to, but Kisa said they had to clean the food off of their faces first.
The twins walked into the bathroom and cleaned their faces. Kisa said they could go and so they dashed out of the dining room, up the stairs, and into their room.
"Your kids are… interesting." Sesshomaru stated as he tried to pick his wording carefully.
"Thanks." Kisa finished her plate and took it and her kids' to the kitchen. Sesshoumaru continued to eat and think.
Kisa came back to the table with peppermint tea in hand and sat down across from Sesshoumaru. She took a small sip and set her cup on the table. Sesshoumaru cleared his plate and followed Kisa's example. He brought his chamomile tea to the table and set it down.
Kisa took out her script and began to go over it. From Sesshoumaru's view, he could tell she had highlighted it, but he couldn't see which character the script was for.
Kisa took a sip of her tea. She closed her eyes and smiled as she heard three kids try and sneak up on her, and set her teacup on the table. Kisa turned around and laughed.
"No, no, no, how could you hear us. We were quiet!" Rin said through her giggles as Kisa tickled them all.
"I have special powers too."
The twins both laughed at their mom's childish antics.
"Mom, you've been reading to many fantasy books." Sakura said matter-o'-factly.
Kisa picked up her teacup and laughed. She took a sip and the twins stared at the cup like no tomorrow.
"Can we have some?" Asked Sakura
"Yeah! Sharing is good for you." Yoshi smiled smugly.
Kisa rolled her eyes, took a last sip of her tea, and gave it up to the thirsty kids.
"Daddy, if its okay with Sakura and Yoshi's mommy may I spend the night with them."
"Its up to Miss Kisa, she is going to have a long day tomorrow."
"Miss Kisa?" Rin turned to face the person in question, "May I spend the night tonight?"
"That's fine with me."
Yoshi handed the empty teacup to his mom and she put it away. Rin hugged Sakura and started to talk in fast, high-pitched squeals.
Rin went upstairs with the twins and were long gone by the time Kisa came back from the kitchen.
"Special powers?" Sesshoumaru looked at Kisa with interest.
"Yes, mom powers." Kisa said and laughed.
She picked up her script and left the room after saying goodnight to Sesshoumaru.
By the time Kisa entered her room Sakura, Yoshi, and Rin were situated in the twins' room watching Spirited Away with droopy eyes. Kisa was surprised, but at the same time happy that she wouldn't have to fight with them to get them to go to sleep.
Kisa quietly slipped past them and into the room's bathroom for a quick shower.

Kouga happily typed up the last paragraph of his story. It had taken him a few hours, but Kouga finally had the story edited and to his liking. He put in a manila envelope and mailed to his editor.
Kouga had everything planed. Myouga's wife volunteered to watch the apartment while he was gone and his flight would be leaving at 10:30.
Kouga ran to his room and packed what he thought he might need. He knew he wouldn't be able to stay for four years unless he planned on writing another story, but he decided to worry about that later.
He put his four bags into Kisa's car and left as soon as Shouga arrived and got all the necessary stuff.
Kouga drove to the closest anime stores, Shooting the Stars, and picked up a new anime for the twins. He read it and it seemed okay to him. He purchased the Figure 17 DVDs and went to the can to drive over to the airport.
By the time Kouga reached gate 27 it was 10:15. Kagome said she would have someone pick him up, but knowing Kagome it could be anyone.
'I can't wait to see the expression on their faces when they see me.'
A/N- Coming up, Tailand shopping and Kouga's surprise visit. How did you like this?
