Chapter 18 : surprises

They were all still in the clearing when a slap was heard. Kagome and Inuyasha both sighed. Seconds later , A very angry looking Sango emerged from the forest , dragging an unconscious Miroku . She was muttering obsenities about lecherous monks and stupid Miroku , when she saw the people curaitly present in the clearing.

She stopped in her tracks , dropped Miroku and stood there with her mouth wide open for a little while before quickly regaining her composure. " uh… , Have I missed something ?" She said before a ball of orange fur bounded into the clearing, oblivious of everyone in the clearing except for Kagome. The orange puff ball jumped into Kagome's arms. And then said," Oh Kagome your back!"

The said girl looked down into the young youkai's emerald eyes before saying , " I'm happy to see you to!" . Everyone else in the clearing sweat dropped at how Kagome was now jumping in the air tears spilling from her eyes , as though she were just reunited with her long –lost son.

" wait a second Kagome , why are you a dog youkai?" Shippo asked from his spot in Kagome's arms. " Oh… That's right! I forgot!" Everyone's sweat drops grew at her remark.

"Well … Ah… The truth is my dad was a black dog youkai named Ryojo. And as for why I'm a youkai and not a hanyous I hve no Idea." She said with a large smile .

'I think I know why my brother travels around with her… She is such an odd girl.' Sesshomaru thought before saying ," I know , but may we please go to that old Miko's hut Now? I realy think that would be better than just standing out here like idiots." He said in a sarcastic tone , Even though he was tempted to laugh when Kagome continued jumpimg in the air, and running as she screamed in joy of having her adoptive son in her arms.

Everyone was settled some where in the modest hut. It was after a dinner of ramen that they had settled in like this. Everyone was sitting back holding their stomachs in happiness, well , everyone except Sesshomaru .

" Kagome , you're a full-youkai because your mother was a black dog youkai. " Sesshomaru said . He got some odd looks at his outburst. Kagome just eyed him with a look of confusion before she got up , mumbling something about going to talk to her mother , again. No one tried to stop her .
