AN: Wow…I'm sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. I swear I've been busy! I went camping, my sister…okay…I'm fed up with excuses! You can see my other story to see the excuse. It's Reconciled, a Death Note Fanfic. And to clear some stuff up, Bella wasn't formerly introduced to Kagome, and so that's why she really didn't meet her when they were at her house, also because Edward was keeping her away. And I still can't explain why I'm so late with this…maybe because I lost interest for a while. You readers should be happy I'm continuing this, I guess…Well, that's what a so called 'friend' of mine said… Now, on with the story!

Azmaria: Maria owns nothing of Twilight or Inuyasha. She wishes she did though.

Me: How did you get here!? You're not supposed to be here! And you're me!

Azmaria: You said the magic word. The title of my story.

Me: What? Reconciled?

Matt: Hello!

Me: What the!?

Kagome's POV

I had taken my car, the boys promising to come over later. Kanna's face was impassive, but you could tell she was excited by her eyes. I liked Jacob and Seth, they were the most light-hearted out of them all, but I could also tell they held a secret. They did smell like wolf though, and it was kind of unnerving.

I had pulled up in front of my house, and as soon as I got out, I was assaulted by a green blob crying out 'Lady Kagome!' Kanna walked over to me, and kicked the green blob off of my leg.

"Jaken. I thought Sesshy wasn't coming," I said, looking at the toad demon. He was clutching his head, mumbling 'Impudent child.'

"Aah! Lady Kagome, Lord Sesshomaru had sent me here to give you the documents on the building. He specifically said NO HEART-SHAPED BUILDINGS, and told me to repeat this to you. Ah! He also said that he wants his mate to be in perfect condition and no fights!" Jaken said, reporting everything the dog demon had told him. I closed my eyes, my face scrunching up in untold anger.

"Sesshy is such an ass. He's still courting me, and yet he already says I'm his mate! I wonder how big that icicle is up his ass!!!" I ranted, stomping to my house and slamming the door. Jaken and Kanna were already inside, and Rin was hugging the toad demon to death. A small smile made its way to my face, before I plopped myself down on the couch. I opened the files, most containing the blueprints of the building, seventy stories, and two containing some work for Rin and Kanna. Said girls sat down next to me, and I passed them their work.

"Hey Kaa-san! Did Fluffy-sama send anything for Hakudoushi and me?" Shippo asked from across the room.

"No. Nothing for you two, but there's some work for Rin and Kanna," I said, passing the work to the two girls.

"Kami…We're going to be working for the whole week," I said, and the two girls next to me sweat-dropped, nodding slightly.

"Oh, well. I guess we have to go to the school and inform them…mataku…why can't Sesshy just give us our vacation…" I whined, chibi tears running down my face.

Normal POV

Kagome, Kanna, Rin, Shippo, and Hakudoushi were walking towards the office, each dressed in business clothes and talking into their cell phones. Several students stared after them, wondering why they were dressed in such appearances.

"I said NO you blubbering idiot! I told you to inform them of the schedules immediately! Do you know how much I'm going to clean after you!? You're FIRED!" Hakudoshi yelled into his phone. Kagome sighed, another incompetent human being hired by an incompetent human worker.

"Goodbye Sesshy, I have to fix up some messes at school…Oh shut up about it already!...Bye," Kagome muttered a quick, 'I love you,' and it went unheard by the others. She hung up her cell phone, finally making her way to the office. The secretary looked surprised to see them, then composed herself.

"U-umm…H-how may I help you?" The secretary squeaked, her face a little flushed.

"Yes, there was nothing specifying that we couldn't have jobs, and I'm sorry to say but we will be gone during a few days, so we came here to inform you of our leave," Kagome said, irritated at the buzzing cell going off in her pocket. She ignored the call, which was from an ignorant worker she was deciding to fire.

"B-But the school can't-," The woman was cut off by Hakudoshi, who snarled and slammed a card onto the desk.

"This is from Sesshomaru Taisho, please do your job well and we won't have you fired," Hakudoshi ground his teeth in annoyance. Shippo hung up his phone, just finishing his call.

"Haku, we have to go soon. The company is already pestering us about the files and documents that need to be delivered. I'm sure you don't want any more work as it is," Shippo smiled at the secretary, and pulled Hakudoshi out swiftly.

"Sorry, but we'll have to take our leave now," Rin said, looking at her mother and sister. The two girls walked out of the room, and Kagome gave the secretary a final smile before walking out.

OUTSIDE…

What the Cullens didn't expect seeing were the business dressed Higurashis, all walking to their cars. Bella, being the curious and friendly girl she was, decided to ask Kagome about her attire.

"Oh, this? Stupid Sesshy made me in charge of the building…And I can't make it a heart this time!" Kagome exclaimed, then pouted after she was asked. Bella smiled at her friend, a little shpcked that she would be working, and being put in charge of the construction of a building!? Bella never imagined that. Alice's eyes looked far away when she came back to Edward, and a frown marred her beautiful face. Edward had the same expression, although his was more confused.

"Is there something wrong?" Bella asked, feeling out of the loop.

"We're following them," Edward replied swiftly, and swept her into his Volvo, all in record time.

"W-What!? Why!?" Bella exclaimed, confused over their actions. Kagome's family didn't look or act harmful, or maybe it was just what she thought.

"It doesn't matter. Alice can see them heading for Seattle, but she can't make out anything than the buildings. She recognized a sign, and remembered seeing the same thing. Whenever she tries to look more, it lasts one or two seconds then its gone," Edward explained, and Bella scrunched up her nose, trying to absorb all this information. Her side hit the door of the car, since she was not buckled in and the car took a sharp turn. She hissed in pain, and Edward shot her a sorry glance, his face reeling back to the road. They parked the car back at their home, and ran all the way to the Higurashis' house, Bella riding on Edward's back.

"Hey, Edward? I don't think this is such a good idea…" Bella trailed off, a lump forming in her throat. She swallowed nervously, trying to look for a way to get out of this. Usually, she tried to follow Edward everywhere, and now…the Higurashis were just too nice to be evil. She frowned a little, and a calming wave washed over her, instantly whispering a 'thanks' to Jasper, who was keeping pace with them, considering Edward was faster than all of them.

"We're here," Edward announced, stopping right at the outskirts of the Higurashis' house, able to be where they weren't sensed…or so they thought.

Normal Higurashis POV

Kagome finished preparing her files, having done them in record speed that not even the fastest working demon could match. She sighed, frustrated that the vampires had not even given her any useful information. She wanted a damn vacation and she'd go through Hell and fight the devil himself*cough*Sesshomaru*cough* just for one vacation!

"Mama?" Rin peeped into the room, sensing her distressed mother's aura flare angrily from outside the room.

"Sorry, Rin…I just wanted to relax wit all of you…Uuugh…I hate Sesshy…Making his future-mate-to-be and pups-to-be work so damned much! Is working so much illegal!? I want to make a law…" Kagome groaned, Rin giggling and stepping into her mother's room fully, files placed securely in her hands.

"I've finished these. Now we can make the dinner preparations that Kanna-chan told me all about!" Rin chirped, extremely bright and happy to meet new people.

"Oh, CRAP! I totally forgot! We need to make a LOT of food, ASAP! I suggest a meat based meal and plenty of desserts. Make sure Shippo and Akago stay out of the kitchen. Force Hakudoshi to help since his cooking is to DIE for…Let's get going!" Kagome happily exclaimed, her bitter mood gone for the moment. She sped downstairs, stopring in the middle of the living room.

"I think I'll invite Bella over. She's my new friend, and I can tell she has a holy feel about her," Kagome mumbled to herself, whipping out her cellphone. She had given Bella her old one, insisting she have it since she refused a new one. She had reluctantly agreed, even though it was an old Jukebox, Kagome thought she should have gotten her first friend here something better.

The phone rang a few times before being answered, "Hello?" Came Bella's uneasy voice.

"Bella! I'm having a dinner party with some people I met in La Push! I was wondering if you could come? I think one knows you, he goes by Jacob Black?" Kagome said, her voice filled to the brim with happiness.

"Umm…yeah, I know him. I'll be able to make it in a little while," a few whines of 'How come you didn't tell me you have a cell phone! You didn't even give me your number!' was heard at the other end, "I'll see you there?" was Bella's unsteady answer before the phone was heard being snatched out of her hands and closed.

"Oh, well~!" Kagome grinned, skipping into the kitchen and preparing to help with everything. No one knew what they were getting themselves into…
