Kagome knocked on the door, the case worker opened the door,

"Come on in Kagome, this is…" the case worker was interrupted,

"Mrs. Taisho," Kagome kneeling, Mrs. Taisho laughed a little,

"Honey, that's not necessary, please stand up," Mrs. Taisho helping Kagome up. Kagome sat down by Mrs. Taisho,

"So, you know me well and do you know of my sons as well?" Mrs. Taisho wanting to know just how much she did know,

"I know of your husband and his company very well, your son worked on my parents case, wait, do you know of my past?" Kagome glancing at the case worker.

"Of course and we would like to protect you from whoever did this to your parents," Mrs. Taisho giving her a comforting smile.

"You are business people, my parents never had time for me, they were always working, I don't want a family like that," Kagome explained in her cold state.

"We make time for our family, no matter what we take the time for our family, that's why our clients still are in business with us, they praise us because we take the time for our family members," Mrs. Taisho assuring her, she smiled,

"You will get along with my eldest, he is cold just like you are, but I think we will be fine, your birthday is coming up in a couple of days right, 16, that's a big age, we'll see what we can do," Mrs. Taisho patting Kagome's hand.

"Well if that's all, I have some paperwork for you to sign and you guys can leave," the case worker explained happily, Kagome sat there with her hands in her lap,

"Why don't you go pack and say your goodbyes, and I should have these signed," Mrs. Taisho explained.

"I don't have friends or anything to pack," Kagome stoically, Mrs. Taisho glanced at her for a few minutes,

~ My goodness, she needs a family. ~ Mrs. Taisho thought as she signed the papers. Soon they left, Mrs. Taisho was walking out when Kagome glared at her,

"What's wrong honey?" Mrs. Taisho confused,

"You aren't going to make me talk about my problems are you?" Kagome knowing she was a psychologist,

"Honey, no, you are apart if the family now, I don't talk to family members as if they were patients, but if you ever want to talk to me or your brothers you can, we help each other out," Mrs. Taisho explained softly to her. Kagome followed her out to the car, as they drove home they talked.

"I know you don't trust at all, but I hope you will allow this family to be your family, don't worry about us dying because we all hold a deep secret," Mrs. Taisho seriously.

"Yeah, I know you guys aren't human, you mated with the Great Inu no Taisho," Kagome shrugged. Mrs. Taisho was dumbfounded,

"My grandmother told me how she used to travel with your eldest, Sesshomaru, she told me all about your family history, I may not have many manners but I do have respect for those who I think deserve it," Kagome coldly.

"Can you keep our secret in the family?" Mrs. Taisho softly,

"I have not disrespected you in any way Mrs. Taisho, I will keep it to myself, but I have to be honest with you, I won't be family till I accept you guys as family," Kagome explained.

"There's no need to keep calling me Mrs. Taisho, please call me Izayoi," Izayoi explained. Kagome simply nodded, when they arrived home Izayoi's husband was home.

"Well, are you ready to meet the family?" Izayoi asked, Kagome stared at the house door, Kagome nodded, she got out and stood there waiting for Izayoi to come around the car and walk toward her house. They both entered the house together, there they all stood, the perfect family, two son's and a husband. Kagome made eyes contact with Mr. Taisho, the Great Dog Demon, she dropped her gaze and fell at his feet, he stared at Izayoi,

"My child, please, there's no need for you to do that," Mr. Taisho explained, he helped Kagome up.

~The human knows her place, good, but why did the Great Inu no Taisho help her up?~ Sesshomaru the eldest son confused and wrinkled his nose a little and growled.

"It's good to finally have you in our home, my sons, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha, they will help you to your room," Mr. Taisho putting his hand to her back,

"Thank you Mr. Taisho," Kagome bowing, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha headed down the hall and up the stairs.

"My name is Inuyasha, you'll have to excuse my brother Sesshomaru, he doesn't care for humans," Inuyasha explained trying to be nice.

"I'm sure he was the cause for my parents case to be slammed shut, he is too arrogant to look any further into it," Kagome growled. Sesshomaru grabbed her by the neck and threw her up against the wall, his eyes turned deep red,

"Woman, this Sesshomaru will not stand for this behavior in his home," Sesshomaru explained harshly. Kagome didn't even flinch, Sesshomaru dropped her to the floor,

"I am not like any of those weak humans, I have no weaknesses, and you being the all mighty powerful demon trying to follow in daddy's footsteps, but you know what, power is useless unless you have someone that loves you and I know at least one weakness of yours, she came in the shape of a little girl whom you used to travel with, and you know what else, you are very fortunate to have the chance to learn from your father, and I suppose you got to have your biological mother at one time and got to understand her love for you, I never had any parents so I don't know what it is like to have people who care for me, I didn't ask for your step mother to come for me, your family risks their lives and both of yours, that bastard is still out there, he isn't going to stop coming after me till he finishes his job," Kagome explained coldly, she began to walk away,

"Miko, I suggest you tell me of whom you speak of and what is your relation to her, and I suggest you do it now," Sesshomaru growled,

"You still think I am afraid of your being huh, you have another thing coming, her name was Rin, and my relations to her is none of your business," Kagome growled back, Sesshomaru shot out his hand to grab her but her barrier went up, he jerked back,

~She is a priestess, oh goody.~ Sesshomaru growled,

"I suggest you keep your mouth shut of our family history also," Sesshomaru stoically, Kagome turned her head,

"Your family's secret is safe with me, I have a great deal of respect for your parents, though you may never gain my respect or my trust," Kagome walking away,

~What right does she have to speak to this Sesshomaru this way?~ Sesshomaru confused, he followed Inuyasha and Kagome into her room.

"This is your room, ya like it," Inuyasha giving her a smirk,

"A bit pink but yeah, a bit more space than the one at the facility, thank you for showing it to me," Kagome stoically.

"Yeh, its no problem," Inuyasha looking around,

"Can I just be alone?" Kagome looking around. Inuyasha stared at her confused,

"You've been stuck in a prison all your life and you want to be alone in another room, you have yet to find out what our house holds," Inuyasha softly.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand, you and your brother have had loving parents, they care enough about you Inuyasha to give you everything that you have ever wanted and Sesshomaru, your mother, I'm sure gave you all her love and Izayoi is trying to show you that she loves you, you should give her a chance if you ever want to show your father your appreciation for teaching you all his power and strength, this would be the way to do it, you both don't realize what is it to feel like you don't belong, that everyone is too damn busy to tend to their own child, now get out, both of you, now," Kagome growled. Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha and shut the door behind them,

~This wench is getting highly on my nerves and quick too, I wish I could shut her up.~ Sesshomaru holding his head, he was already getting a headache from her smell and from the way she was acting.

"You two are perfect for each other," Sesshomaru smirked, Inuyasha stood still,

"Why do I get to have her, I don't want the whiny human," Inuyasha making a face.

"Both of you two are too immature for your ages, that's why you guys would be perfect," Sesshomaru coming down the stairs, they were both greeted by his father, he had a nasty look on her face,

"You both will apologize to your sister, now go back upstairs and I want both of you to explain yourselves and Sesshomaru, she will ride with you to the mall," his father bearing his fangs at both of them. Sesshomaru stared him down and nodded after a few minutes. Kagome laid there on her new bed,

~They don't know what its like, they couldn't possibly know, they have a family, I'm just the outsider, I will always be the outsider.~ Kagome wondering what her mother was like and if her father was strong, there was a knock at her door,

"Come in," Kagome strongly, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru walked in,

"I'm sorry for upsetting you like I did," Inuyasha explained, Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru's stare, he was trying to apologize too. Kagome shook her head,

"No, I'm sorry and besides, you shouldn't have to apologize unless you mean it," Kagome strongly.

"You are to ride with me to the mall," Sesshomaru explained coldly, she just nodded her head, they all walked down to the living room and Inuyasha got on his bike and Sesshomaru got on his, he gave Kagome his helmet,

"Thank you," Kagome putting the helmet on. Kagome slipped on the back of the bike behind him, he started up the bike, Kagome wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's waist, she held him so tight that she could feel him growling, she smirked and he sped off after Inuyasha and his parents.
