A little note: As seen on Dokuga. Originally this was a interconnected drabble collection created with the prompts from dokuga_contest. However, since dokuga_contest is no longer running, I'll update as I see fit with prompts I select myself.

Mother

Mrs Higurashi and her father stared wide-eyed at the youkai sitting at their dining table. Unlike Inuyasha, his features were stronger and more intense. The aura he gave off was also completely different. Inuyasha was cheery and was not afraid to smile. This man, however, was collected and kept his emotions under tight control.

When Kagome introduced him, Mrs Higurashi was stunned. She knew about him, Kagome had told her stories about Inuyasha's older brother who was on a mission to steal the Tessaiga. She never imagined him to sit at her dining table, yet here he was. But what really surprised the family of humans, was the two adorable pups. Only one of them was in human form and he liked to ask questions. He was particularly interested in the toaster, so Mrs Higurashi ended up making him a sandwich just so that he could use the appliance. His sister, however, was still in her original youkai form, a tiny little thing she was, and she hid under her father's long hair. It was cute, but a shame at the same time too.

"I was just going to stock up on supplies," Kagome continued to explain how she had started to travel with Sesshomaru (mostly, anyway) and how they had ended up in the future. "I was also thinking of maybe going to school for a day or two. I don't know how Sesshomaru and his pups got here. The well let them through."

"Interesting," Kagome's grandfather hummed in deep thought. Kagome rolled her eyes. Her grandfather had that look on his face again; the one he got just before he entered one of his stories about the origin of something or rather. Kagome doubted Sesshomaru would be interested in listening.

"That's alright, Kagome," Mrs Higurashi assured her daughter. "Inuyasha has visited countless times before. Sesshomaru may visit too. And his adorable children."

"Pups," Kagome corrected.

"Pups," Mrs Higurashi repeated, "bit animal, isn't it?"

Kagome gave her mother a pointed look, which only made Mrs Higurashi laugh. Kagome rolled her eyes again. Her family was so weird.
