"Grandma? I'm in trouble."

"Kagome? What kind of trouble dear?" Kagome could hear the click of the other line as Myoga picked it up.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at Inuyasha's house but don't worry about me. I'm safe here. Sango is going to be by in a few minutes to pick up some clothes and stuff. Just let her in." Kagome told her grandparents about the gang members at the park and all about their plan. Her grandparents agreed and Kagome said that she would check in every day.

"Alright. Be careful Kagome. Gangs are not something ye really want to get involved in and I want ye home as soon as possible."

"Your grandmother is right Kagome. We want you home in one peace so be VERY careful. Do you understand us?"

"Yes. I do. I have to go. Inuyasha and Miroku are here."

"As is Sango here." Kaede said. "We love ye Kagome. We'll talk to ye later. Bye."

"Bye Kagome."

"Bye. I love you guys too." Kagome hung up the phone just as Inuyasha and Miroku walked in the doors. "Hey guys."

"Hello Kagome. How are you? I was getting worried when you didn't show at the park today." Miroku said a little too happily. Kagome looked over his shoulder to Inuyasha.

"You didn't tell him?"

"Of course I did… he's just an idiot."

"Oh."

"I am not an idiot. I am merely intellectually challenged." Both Kagome and Inuyasha started laughing. Suddenly the door opened and in came Sango holding four bags.

"Okay Kagome. I grabbed a ton of clothes. I hope you don't mind what I brought." That was when she looked into Kagome's eyes. "Your eyes look different."

"That is because they are." Kagome said as she reached up and grabbed the hat off of her head. Her little triangle ears swiveled with the newly found freedom.

"OH MY GOSH. THOSE ARE EVEN CUTER THAN INUYASHA'S. YOU'RE A HANYOU TOO?" Inuyasha and Kagome had their ears flat to their heads from the abuse of the girl's screams.

"Too… Loud." Inuyasha and Kagome whined as they pulled their ears closer to their heads and hunched to the ground.

"Sorry." Sango said as she knelt down next to her new friend.

"Sango. Can you please refrain from screaming in my home? There are 2 hanyous and 1 full demon here." Sessomaru said as he came walking into the room holding 2 water bottles and 4 pills of Aleve. He handed 2 Aleve and a water bottle to each hanyou. "I assume that you will have a head ache from being in such close proximity of a screaming 12 year old."

"Thank Sessomaru." Kagome said as she took the medicine and the bottle. "Okay. Let me tell you my story."

5 years later

Ding Dong

"I got it." Kagome yelled as she ran and jumped down the middle of the stairs to get to the front door. Not long after the gang members left, Kagome revealed to her grandparents that she was a hanyou. They were shocked at first but then they accepted the small fact. Kagome no longer had to wear her pendent because she could always wear hats. The only time she actually wore the pendent was when she went to the pool, a dance, or anywhere else that hats weren't allowed.

Kagome got to the door and opened it to reveal Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku.

"We came to get you." Inuyasha huffed.

"Alright. Let me just grab my backpack."

"Umm… I thought we were ditching today." Inuyasha asked quizzically.

"SHHH… I want my gramps to think I am actually going to school." Kagome whispered.

"Oh, alright. Can we go now? I can't be late again." Inuyasha complained. Then they were out the door.

"So where are we going today?" Kagome asked as they all walked down the street.

"I don't know. How about we just go to the mall?" Sango offered.

"That sounds like a good idea. I need a few new pairs of jeans. Mine have wholes in the knees." Kagome laughed pointing to the jeans she was wearing and indeed there were holes in the knees.

"Kagome, you bought them with holes in the knees." Inuyasha and Miroku said.

"Oh, yeah. Well I would like a pair without holes. The grandparents don't like the holey look. They say it makes me look too easy." Kagome laughed.

"Well…"

"Inuyasha, I wouldn't finish that thought if I were you." Kagome warned.

"Why not, what are you going to do if I do?" he challenged back.

"I might have to kick you in DDR again."

"Oh, well how about I get you on a real dance floor. Tonight we can all go to that club down on Lemon Blv. They are letting kids in. 15 and up."

"Oh, Inuyasha. That means you can't go." Kagome wiped away a fake tear.

"Hey. I'd run if I were you."

"Well it's a good thing you're…" Kagome stopped walking. A shiver ran down her spine and not a good one either.

"Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"What's wrong?" all three asked at the same time.

"Their back."
