"Kagome are you up yet? Keade said she needed to ask you a few things about tomorrow dinner but didn't want to disturb you. So I offered to come tell you." Souta explained through the other side of her door.

"I'm awake sport just tell Keade that I'll be down in a few after I make a few phone calls. Okay?" Kagome said as she sat up in her bed and grabbed her phone.

"Yeah, okay. Shippo, Kohaku, and I are gunna go swimming out back for a while if you need us!" Souta yelled out before running down the hall.

'Alright Kagome who shall we call first, hm? Maybe dad so he'll know of the changes.' Kagome decided as she speed dial her father.

"Hello Satoshi speaking…"

"Hey daddy, I just wanted to let you and mama know that I invited the Tashio's over for dinner tomorrow evening. Thought it would be a great idea to familiarize ourselves with them."

"That is fine but why do I feel like there is more to this then you are letting on Kagome?"

"Now if I told you daddy how am I supposed to surprise everyone."

Satoshi gave out an exasperated sigh before answering, "You and your surprises are going to be the death of me Kagome."

"They are not and you know it. Besides where do you think I got this mischievous side from?"

"I'm not even going to answer that. We will see you tomorrow my little bird."

"Dress casually daddy. Nothing special." Kagome replied before hanging up.

'Now who's next? Oh yes, I will enjoy bothering this person immensely.' Kagome thought before speed dialing another number.

"You do realize that you are calling me at an ungodly hour?" The mysterious voice spoke.

Kagome giggled before replying, "Oh hush, you don't mind in the least besides I know your bored. We need to discuss some business and I have gossip for you, as well as an invite to my home tomorrow evening." Kagome retorted.

"Kagome, if I didn't like you so much I would have slit your throat a long time ago. Well don't keep me waiting my dear spill the news." The person demanded.

"I plan on coming back to the fashion world but not full time. I have an associate of mine that is very dear is starting his line through my company. I'm telling you this because I want to merge our companies together. I'm bored with just being a co-CEO of Higurashi Inc. truthfully I want to take over the fashion world and who better to ask to help than the woman who basically created it? Also, I really do hope that you come to my home tomorrow, your pack will be here and your son has an announcement to make as well." Kagome explained

"I'll be there at your house tomorrow morning. I miss my little Shippo and I will give you an answer about the merger tomorrow. Also a word of advice Kagome, my son doesn't play well with others and you better not hurt him, he has been through enough to last a life time." The person responded.

"Inukimi, I have no intentions of hurting your son. I hope you don't plan on staying in a hotel, my home is your home. I have plenty of space and you know that." Kagome explained.

"Hn, see you tomorrow my dear." Inukimi said before hanging up.

'My last call for the morning and I will call Miroku.' Kagome thought as she dialed her cousin number.

"Moshi, moshi Miroku speaking. How can I help you Kagome?" Miroku asked on the other line.

"I was wondering if you had any plans tomorrow evening? I am having a family dinner and the Tashio's will be here as well." Kagome said

"If my memory serves me right I believe I have a date tomorrow evening." He explained

"Sango will be there." Kagome said in a sing song voice.

"In that case I will be there. Just let me know when I need to be there. Also I have to talk to Jakotsu? I am in need of his services." Miroku asked.

"I'll text when to come and just dress casually. Jakotsu is here at my house, you can come and stop by to talk to him." Kagome said.

"Excellent, I'll be there shortly and if Sango is there don't tell her I'm coming. I wish to surprise her." Miroku explained.

"Ok, see you then Miroku." Kagome said before hanging up.

'Now that my business has concluded. I guess I'll go see what Keade needs.' Was Kagome's last thought before heading downstairs.

"Keade, where are you!?" Kagome yelled as she aimlessly walked around her home.

"I am in the kitchen Kagome!" Keade replied as she poked her head out of the kitchen.

"Souta said that you needed to speak with me about tomorrow dinner? Is anything wrong?" Kagome asked.

"There is nothing to worry about, the chef and I just wish to know what to prepare and exactly how many guests are going to be attending?" Keade explained.

"Oh well, let me think…there will be 17 of us which includes you. The Tashio's will be attending so as long as the meat for them is rare or medium rare then you really won't have to worry about anything." Kagome retorted.

"I will let the chef know of the changes. Should I wear something fancy?" Keade asked.

"No, just casual clothing will do just fine." Kagome replied.

Before either one could say anything next the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Kagome yelled out.

Kagome leisurely walked to the door and looked into the peep whole. As she recognized who was on the other side of the door a smirk appeared upon her face just as she opened the door.

"If it isn't my favorite cousin in the whole wide world." Kagome said as she flung herself at said person.

"I am glad to hear that I am your favorite, now if only the world knew." The person dramatically stated.

"Oh, Miroku you always were good at making me smile. Come on in, Jakotsu is in his room and I'm not sure where Sango is." Kagome explained.

"Thanks, I'll eventually find Sango, I do have a radar on her location almost at every time and at every minute." Miroku boasted.

"Miroku that is not only creepy but beyond weird. I don't even want to know if it's true or not." Kagome explained.

"As you wish my dear. Now can you please direct me to our brother Jak, I have some great news for him." Miroku replied.

Kagome didn't reply and just started walking up the stairs then proceeded to walk towards his room.

"Hey Jakotsu you have a visitor! Are you dressed?!" Kagome yelled through the door.

"I'm dress! So come right on in!" Jakotsu replied

"Hey Jak, long time no see." Miroku said.

"Miroku! To what do I deserve this unexpected visit?" Jakotsu inquired.

"Well you know how you've always wanted to redecorate my house, right?" Miroku sheepishly asked.

"Yeah, I remember and I also remember you telling me you didn't have the time nor the man power or money to do it. So what happened to change your mind?" Jak retorted.

"Well Inuyasha happened, that idiot came over to my house recently drunk as a skunk, which was fine as he does it all the time but this time he vomited all over my living room and broke a lot of family heirlooms. But thankfully his father has decided that Inuyasha will be paying for my house to be remodeled and he has to be the one to help move everything. So I since I refuse to have anyone else do it, I would prefer someone I trust and who knows fashion. So will you do it?" Miroku explained.

"Not only will I do it, I will love this especially since I'll have Inuyasha as my work slave makes it all the more better. Is there anything specific you're looking for?" Jakotsu asked as he pulled out his notebook.

"I would greatly like a modern- futuristic look with my home some aspects of the color purple but with a darker shade. Can you do that?" Miroku wondered.

"Don't worry I have something very special in mind for that and I'll show what it'll look like once I'm done. Any rooms off limits?" Jakotsu questioned.

"There is only one place that is off limits and that is the other house behind mind. No one is allowed in there. Not even by accident, it's very special and imperative that this place should not be disturbed. Thank you." Miroku expressed.

"Not a problem Miroku, now if you don't mind I need you to get out so I can get to work." Jakotsu replied as she pushed both Kagome and Miroku out.

"So…Kagome do you think I can stay here while my house is having a makeover?" Miroku asked.

"Sure but don't start trouble with Sango. I need her on her A game when have to go to work. Understood?" Kagome questioned.

"I understand completely. I promise to keep my hands to myself to a degree." Miroku replied before taking off.

'What am I going to do with you Miroku?' Kagome thought as she went to go warn Sango.
