Groans were heard throughout the shrine house as everyone was woken up by the blaring trumpet music being played in the kitchen.
"What is that horrible noise!" asked Miroku as he walked into the kitchen a few moments later.
"Oh, Sota dear, you can stop playing now." said Mrs. Higurashi. "I'm sorry Miroku, what was that you were saying? Oh yes, the music... well you see..."
"Kagome is always really hard to wake up"interupted Sota. "and when I actually do manage to wake her up she pummels me so asked mom if I could wake her up with a trumpet..." said Sota gesturing to his trumpet. "And she said yes as long as I learned how to play it and practiced regularly.
"Ah... I can understand that issue..." said Miroku thunking back to all the times the group had tried and failed to wake a sleeping Kagome without injury, even poor little Shippo hadn't been able to escape her wrath.
As Miroku scanned the room he concluded these 5 things.
1. The sight of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru through the kitchen window showed that they had probably been up long before dawn sparring.
2.Sango was woken up by the trumpet like Miroku had been and was currently sitting at the table wearing Kagome's pj's with her head on down and eyes closed mumbling something about considering killing everyone in order to get some sleep. "Okay... better not mess with her till she is a little more awake" thought Miroku.
3. Mrs. Higurashi, Sota and gramps were used to gotten up early and did so often because they looked fresh and ready to go to wherever it was they had to go.
4. Kohaku, Rin, and Shippo had also been woken up for they were just now entering the kitchen.
5. Kagome was late for school because she had just entered right after the kids and was rushing around the kitchen, put a poptart in the toaster and started saying.
"O.K. what needs to be done, hopefully before I get home, is you all need a surname, a reason for being at the shrine in case somebody comes to the shrine and asks, and modern clothes. That means you too Sesshomaru." she said as him and Inuyasha came in from outside. She then grabbed her poptart from the toaster, put it in her mouth and headed for the door putting on her back pack but stopped as she opened it and was half way out and turned to then, removing the poptart from her mouth. "And one more thing. No matter what happens, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT under ANY surcumstances will you tell ANYONE that you are from the past.
I cannot stress to you how important this is. You have no idea how much of a disaster that would be." And then she left.
"Well you heard her, lets get this done." said Mrs. Higurashi puling out a list from her lap and setting it on the table. "There is no need to worry, I've already taken care of everything. Miroku is my cousin. He is living with my family at the shrine because his home burnt down in a terrible fire a few days ago, and has brought along his fiancee, that's you Sango, and her brother, Kohaku, who were living with him.
Inuyasha is, obviously since they finally admit it, Kagome's boyfriend whom she met online and has come to visit her. He lives in another city with his brother, Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru's daughter, Rin. Since he liked it here so much he decided to stay. We, being the hospitable people that we are offered to house them till they get an apartment of their own.
And lastly but most certainly not least, shippo is my new son that I adopted from the streets. Any questions? If not then here is the chart of your new last names. Luckily we don't need an I.D. in Japan like you would in America."(A.N. I don't know if this is true but just bare with me.) she finished, pushing the list so that every one could see. This is what it read.

2Sango Saichi.

"Well, now that that is over how about I make some breakfast?" Said Mrs. Higurashi with one of her trademark smiles.
