A Family's Destruction
Now I understand that I have confused a lot of people with the age differences between Kagome, Kikyo, and their father. I have been writting this story while I'm half asleep so please forgive me. Now Satoshi is actually 47 I just haven't corrected that and as for the private airline thing I couldn't think of a name for that and just wrote the first thing that came to mind. Also the relationship between Kagome and Shippo will be looked into in a future chapter.
Chapter 3: The Meeting
I don't own Inuyasha but I do lay claim on Sesshomaru!

Higurashi Manor
"Mom, hi I will be dropping the children off in a few and pick up dad. After everything is done I will pick them back. Ok?" Kagome lightly spoke into her phone.
"Ok hunny, just call before you head out so I can prepare the boys. Is there anything I can do for you though?" Luna questuioned
"Actually mom, can you find Sango's number for me? It is very important that I speak to her." Kagome explained.
"Of course Kagome and your father is ready and waiting. How long will it be before you arrive here?" Luna asked.
"Actually I just arrived at the shrine so you can father to come to the limo." Kagome answered as she hung up with her mother.
"Alright boys I shouldn't be long so please don't be a hassle and then afterwards we can do whatever you want, ok?" Kagome reminded them.
"Ok, just don't forget sis." Souta answered for both he and Shippo.
"I won't now get out of here and send dad down." Kagome yelled from the limo as the boys ran up the shrine steps.
Once the boys were in the house Satoshi made his way into the limo where Kagome was waiting and as they began to drive off they talked about the merger between their company and Tashio & Sons company.

Tashio Manor
In the Tashio manor the house was in an uproar as one of the family members were missing.
"Sesshomaru, my boy please tell me you know or have a clue to where your brother is?" InuToga begged.
"Father just because I have just recently accepted Inuyasha as my kin does not mean that I am his keeper. I don't know where he is but I suggest you call Miroku and ask him. Also father I will not be late for this meeting because of him." Sesshomaru quietly responded.
"I suppose we can just go ahead and attend the meeting without him if that is the case then let us leave now." InuToga spoke as they both headed out into the limo.
As they traveled InuToga texted Miroku to see where his son was.
"Miroku, by any chance have you seen my son?" InuToga quickly texted.
"The idiot is here asleep on my couch. He came here this morning drunk beyond recognition. Should I stay and wake? Or just head to the meeting?" Miroku responded just as quickly as he recieved his.
Toga just sighed before responding to his text, "No leave the fool there and just meet us there. I will deal with my son once the meeting is over. If he calls or text you do not respond."
"Of course InuToga and please try not to break anything else." Miroku replied.
"Anything else?" Toga questioned.
"Yes, it seems your son is quite attracted to anything breakable within my home. Most items were irreplaceable and given from family members who are no longer alive." Miroku replied.
"I am sorry to hear that, shall we discuss what Inuyasha owes you after the meeting? I'm sure we can come up with something." InuToga inquired.
"Yes, please and I will be arriving at Higurashi Inc in five minutes. See you there." Miroku replied before ending his text message.
Immediately after InuToga finished his text message the limo was already pulling up in front of Higurashi Inc.
"So tell me father where is that ungrateful brother of mine? Surely the fool isn't incompentent enough to miss this merger deal." Sesshomaru asked as both he and his father got out of the limo.
"It seems that your brother got drunk last night and showed up at Miroku's house this morning and destroyed all his priceless items but the worst part is he is still drunk and currently laying on Miroku's floor knocked out." InuToga replied.
"What a fool he is, no doubt he will try to blame this on someone else and this Sesshomaru will not clean up after his mess." Sesshoamru announced.
"I had or have no intention of allowwing you to clean up after your brothers mess. He needs to learn to appreciate what he has and start acting his age. Now let us not dwaddle any further and see if we can get the Higurashi's to finally merge with our company." Toga said as they finally made their way towards the elevator.

Top floor of the Higurashi Inc.
"Kagome, by any chance did you look over any documents? I forgot to ask after all the excitement your mother and I had last night." Satoshi asked as stood looking out the the massive window.
"Of course I did father and I even had time to fix any mistakes and make a schedule for inventory to make sure that nothing is missing. I have done everything that is needed to be done so just relax and let me put your mind at ease and finally close this merger. I have never failed you and I never will. You know that right?" Kagome asked she swirled her chair around to meet her father.
"I am very much aware of that Kagome and I'm happy that I chose you as my accessor. Now let us prepare ourselves because these youkai are more powerful and different than any other. They are highly respected here so please try and I mean try to play nice." Satoshi practically begged his daughter.
"I can't promise you anything but I'll try and that's all that matters. Now sit down." Kagome whispered as the three men excluding one of the hour walked into the room.
"Ah, Satoshi my friend it has been to long since we last seen each other. How does everything go?" InuToga said as he shook Satoshi's hand.
"Everything is fine and all is well though I just wish that my daughters would just get along then I think all would be rigtht in the world." Satoshi exasperated.
Toga outright laughed before speaking once more, "I know the feeling all to well my friend, it seems that my boys are never going to get along but I just hope that they do if anything were to ever happen."
"Father prehaps we should start and then once we are finished you and Lord InuToga can finish your prattle conversation. I do have other meetings to attend too." Kagome said desperately trying to finish the meeting that had yet to began.
"Oh and which of the daughters are you? Hm, Kikyo prehaps?" InuToga idly questioned.
Kagome face had lost all cheeriness at that comment and portrayed nothing not even her eyes showed what she was feeling at the moment before she icly replied, "No, my name is Kagome and even though my sister which I use that term loosely are twins we are nothing alike and I would greatly appreciate if you never compare me to her again.
"Forgive me I did not mean to upset you I just assumed that was your name." InuToga replied.
"I am not upset so please why don't we all sit down and began, ne?" Kagome asked as she tilted her head in the direction of the desk.
"What an excellent suggestion little cousin, now lets begin." Miroku stated.
Everyone sat down and begin to talk of many different assets each company had to offer to one another except for Sesshomaru who was having a very difficult time preventing himself from staring at Kagome and hating her for causing his beast to stir.
'Master...can we have mate now? She smells devine.'
'She is not our mate and you will never have. Tell me beast why have you risen?'
'You cannot tell me that her scent doesn't awaken you, awaken us! She calls to us, she needs us, we must answer. This women smells of rain, roses, and lightening after a thunder storm. I wonder master what she would smell like with our scent mixed with hers inside and out?
'That is enough!" Shessomaru growled at his beast before pushing it back into its cage.
Kagome on the other hand was getting frustrated and finally decided to break the silence, "Is there a reason why you are staring at me? I would also appreciate it if you would stop it is quite annoying."
"Hn." Was all Sesshomaru said before ignoring her completely.
'How rude.' Kagome thought before turning her attention back to the meeting.
Afterwards the meeting went on without a hitch and a hour later the meeting was complete and both companies signed the paperwork that would officially merge them.
"I am glad that this meeting wasn't problematic and now both our companies are one. I hope we are able to move to new heights because of this." Satoshi expressed.
"I too hope for the best through this. Now I don't want to be rude but I have to go find my son and have a talk with him. Don't hesitate to call me if anything else comes to mind." InuToga replied before he and Sesshomaru made their depature.
"So uncle how long will you be in town? Are you leaving too Kagome?" Miroku asked turning his attention to his family members.
"I will be leaving on Sunday to go and meet with our smaller companies in the neighboring countries as well as seeing about other possible mergers. Kagome will be staying here to keep everything in check also I must thank you for keeping an eye out on the family." Satoshi explained.
"There is no need to thank me uncle I would have so even without you telling me to. After all you guys are my own family members left in town. Now if you all will excuse me I have something to attend to but I will be keeping in touch." Miroku stated as he made his way to the elevator where both Inu's were waiting on him.
"Miroku wait!," Kagome yelled as she chased after him, "If you have some time during the week come to the old manor I will have a surprise for you. Don't you forget either or you'll regret it." Kagome whispered even though it was in vain.
"I would never dream of doing such a thing to you dearest cousin. I will text you later in the evening to check up on things." Miroku said as all three men left into the elevator.
After seeing the men leave Kagome walked back into the room to prepare herself to leave.
"Kagome, I was thinking that prehaps we could have a family dinner on Friday before I have to leave town on Sunday. I was hoping to have it at the manor but I want everybody there and that includes your sister too. I know you to can't stand to be in the same room together but this is just something I really want to happen as one of those fond memories." Satoshi expressed.
"I would like that too dad but I don't hate Kikyo and I don't mind her half the time I just can't take it when she tries to belittle me or threaten me so because you asked me to I will try my hardest to hold my tongue and not confront Kikyo. I just wish I knew why she has it out for me?" Kagome responded.
"I'm not sure either but come let us leave so I can spend more time with your mother and don't that your grandfather is coming to the manor with you." Satoshi reminded Kagome as they made there way to the elevator.
"Thanks for reminding me I totally forgot he was coming. Well atleast you and mom can have some real alone time." Kagome said as she wiggled her eye brows at her father.
"Kagome Anari Higurashi!" Satoshi yelled as he only recieved a giggle from his daughter.

At Miroku's House
"So do you guys think Inuyasha is awake yet?" Miroku asked as he made his way up his front porch with both Inu's in tow.
Shesshomaru took a big whiff and almost regretted before answering Miroku, "He isn't awake yet but I can tell you that you will most likely need new carpets for your home. Nothing will be salvagable nor will that stench ever go away."
"Just freaking great it's going to cost me a fortune to get new carpets and anything else he may have ruined."Miroku groaned.
"As I said earlier Miroku we will come up with a way Inuyasha to repay and he will be paying for anything that was ruined from his own pocket whatever the cost maybe so by all means I suggest you stack up his bill. This will be a small part of his punishment." InuToga explained as Miroku let them into his home.
"How gracious of you and I will be more than happy to find any to all problems being fixed by him." Miroku said as he kicked Inuyasha in the ribs very hard.
"Oi what the fuck was that for? I don't know what has gotten into you monk but cut it out!" Inuyasha slightly yelled.
"Son if I was you I would get up and take a good look at yourself and the damage you have caused." Toga nearly growled out.
"Huh? Watcha talkin bout old man? I ain't cause no damage." Inuyasha confusedly asked.
"If you would actually get up my friend and pay attention then maybe you'll see what your father is talking about. Also even though your my best friend please refrain from coming to my house when you're beyond drunk to come crash you have broken a lot of my family heirlooms and most if not all were irreplacable and you even soiled my carpet and couch set with your vomit and anything else I don't want to name." Miroku explained as he watched his friend finally take a good look around.
"I'm sorry monk I'll get all this fixed up." Inuyasha sincerely replied.
"Yes you will be paying for this but with your own money and your money alone. Now there is one more thing we do need to discuss and so I will ask you is there something you have forgotten today?" InuToga questioned.
"I don't think so, I mean I don't believe I forgot anything." Inuyasha mumbled as he contemplated everything.
"Surely you can't be this incompetent half breed? I would have thought it was quite obvious." Sesshomaru stated as he gave away nothing.
"The meeting!", Inuyasha yelled as he got up, "Well just don't stand there lets go before we're late!"
Inuyasha was getting close to leaving before his father's hand prevented him from leaving.
"It has already taken place my son and we ahve successfully merged our company with Higurashi Inc. and now I want to focus on how pissed I am at you. Your punishment will be severe and relentless. There is nothing you can say or do that will change my mind about this. As for your first punishment you will be walking home the way you are I don't think I can handle your stench any further and I won't have soiling the limo either." InuToga said as he and Sesshoamru immediately left out the house and walk to the limo.
"Feh, fine I don't care!" Inuyasha yelled at them.
"Well since you don't care Inuyasha I want my whole house renovated and I already have someone in mind to do it. All you have to do is supervise everything while I'm not here." Miroku stated as he started texting on his phone.
"Oh yeah and who the hell would renovate this shitty place at the last second?" Inuyasha asked.
Miroku gave him one name before shoving him out the door and leaving him there standing pale as ever.

Higurashi Shrine
Kagome and Satoshi had just pulled up in front in of the shrine and prepared their selves to go inside but not before telling the driver to wait for Kagome to come back with the others. Afterwards they gradually made their way up the long stairway before arriving at the front door.
"Mom, are the kids ready to go? And where is gramps?" Kagome asked when she walked into the house.
"The boys are ready but I'm not sure where your grandfather has gone. He might be in his room or somewhere in the house." Luna said as she contemplated where her father in law could be.
"Here I am my dear I was in the old well house just cleaning a few things before you arrived but it seems that time has slipped by me once more." Her grandfather answered behind her with a thoughtful look.
"It's ok gramps, why don't we get the kids and your bags then head out. Kedea- baa san said that the chef's have cooked already and want us to taste this dessert they've made." Kagome explained as she made her way out the door.
"Boys you're going to be left behind if you don't hurry! Kagome and your grandfather have already made their way to the limo without you!" Luna yelled and she didn't even have to wait as the both boys were racing down the stairs and out the door.
"Now my dear sweet wife what shall we do in the mean time?" Satoshi asked in a peverted voice.
"Why don't you see if you can catch me then find out?" Luna countered as she took off running upstairs.
~xoxo~
"Hey Souta by any chance do you have Sango's number?" Kagome asked during their drive to the mansion.
"Uh, yeah...Here you go sis." Souta said as he texted her the number.
"Thanks kid. If things go as plan with the talk I'm about to have with her you'll have a great surprise in the end." Kagome explained as she called Sango.
"Hello, this Sango speaking how may I help you?"
"Yes I was wondering if you could direct me to my best friend?"
"Who is this? And who are you looking for exactly?"
"Is this not Sango Serena Tanaka? The same girl who beat up everyone who picked on her bestfriend Kagome Higurashi. The same woman who can't stand a certain pervert but has a crush on him."
"There is only one person who knows that and she doesn't live in Japan. So who are you really and what are you trying to accomplish here?"
"I'm hurt Sango that you don't know who I am. It's me Kagome and I'm back home in Japan for good this time."
"Kagome you big dope! Why didn't you call me the moment you landed?"
"It's not that I didn't want to Sango it was just that I landed here at two in the morning and you know that I'm not a morening person besides I had to get the company in order here before attending a meeting I had this morning and even right now I'm exhausted from this jetlag. Anyway I was calling with a propostion for you and Kohaku."
"I forgive you Kagome and what is this propostion you have?"
"How is your job? Is it worth working there?"
"The pay is horrible, there isn't enough hours for to help my aunt pay the bills and no it isn't worth working there."
"What do you mean help your aunt?"
"That's right you don't know, well a few years back my parents were killed leaving me and Kohaku orphaned minors. One of my parents closes friend didn't want to see us in an orphange so she adopted us but as of recently she got remarried and needs Kohaku and I to leave but I have no where to go which presents my other problem."
"Lucky for you I came back in town just in time. My propostion I have was to work at the company for me and my dad, my second was for you two to come live at the Higurashi manor. I get so bored there even with my son who now ignores me for his favorite uncle."
"Y-you have a son?"
"Mhm, a little fire kitsune. I adopted him a few years back when I was of legal age to and knew him since I first went to America. It's a long story and I'll share with you when you come over."
"That's great news, we'll be there in a few hours. We'll pack the most important items first and figure out a way to get the rest."
"Don't worry about that I'll send a company to pick your items up and do you wish to finish the week out at your job?"
"I won't have to because they let me go today and I had no idea how I was going to tell my aunt but then you called and saved me like always."
"If I recall correctly you were the one who was always saving me but I guess we always managed to save each other. But enough sobbed stories hurry up and get your things together and I'll have someone pick you guys up. Just text me the address and then I'll call you whn your rided is outside."
"That's fine and one more thing Kagome, did you call Jakotsu? You know if he finds out your in town and haven't reached out to him he'll have your head."
"Oops, I forgot but I'll give a call once we hang up. So on that note good bye."
Kagome immediately hung up and called one number she had on speed dial.
"Hello Bankotsu here, how can I assist you Kags'?"
"Ban-Ban, I need you to call Jaky and tell him I'm here and to come to my house."
"You forgot to call him didnt you? He's gunna give you an earful."
"Just do it! Jeez!" Kagome yelled and hung up just as they arrived at the manor.
'Seems like I won't be getting any rest anytime soon.'
~xoxo~
Finally I have finished this long chapter especially with how busy I've been. Also if my faithful readers could give a name for Kagome's grandfather I would appreciate I can't think of one lol.
