Family Meeting
Inuyasha yawned as he followed behind his brother. He drummed his fingers to the music.
"ienai itami kanashimi de kizu tsuita kimi yo kesenai kako mo seoi atte ikou ikiru koto wo nage dasanai de." He sung to the music. He wasn't picky with music. He loved all types of music as long as they had a nice tune and great set of vocals.
"Who's this?" Kagome asked.
"UVERworld it's a rock group. They're pretty good this song is called D-TechnoLife." He explained. She nodded her head.
"I've never heard of them."
"No? What do you listen to in the country?"
"I mean I'm sure people from my hometown heard of them I just don't keep up with the music." She flustered a bit. He laughed and nodded his head.
"Don't worry, by the time this year ends you'll love all types of music." He reassured her. She smiled and nodded. "Damn Sesshoumaru, why the hell does he keep cutting in and out lanes? Fucking asshole one day I'mma kick his ass." He growled and Kagome laughed.
"Achoo!" Sesshoumaru shook his head. "I bet that little punk is talking shit about me." He snapped looking through his visor mirror. Rin smiled and looked at him.
"Do you blame him? You treat him like a step child."
"I do not, it's called tough love. If everyone holds his hand he'll never learn how to do things on his own. He needs a job."
"I feel bad for our future babies." She giggled. He looked at her.
"Why?"
"Why? You ask why? Because you're gonna be so strict."
"Of course because you're so laid back."
"One of us gotta be the cool parent."
"Parents aren't meant to be cool, they're meant to be guardians to raise proper adults so by the time they get thirty they're making a living."
"You're so boring, you're gonna be the least favorite parent." She began laughing. He sighed deeply and shook his head.
"You better be glad I love you."
"You BETTER be glad I love you." She repeated back sternly. He smiled and gave her quick kiss.
"You just better find a place for us to be alone so I can teach you discipline."
"Hmm, sounds like my kinda fun."
A horn then honked at him. He looked through the visor mirror and saw Inuyasha behind him looking pissed. He smirked.
"You wanna see him have a temper tantrum?"
"Sure why not?" She shrugged. He nodded his head and sped up zig zagging through lanes. Rin began laughing. Sesshoumaru let out a loud squeeze. "He's definitely calling you every name in the book."
"Tai, I'm worried about the boys are they alright?" Izayoi asked looking through the back window.
"They're fine, there's no way they can get lost since I programmed the GPS in their cars."
"I know Sesshoumaru's fine but I'm worried about Inuyasha and Kagome. He's never did a far drive like this."
"Well babe, he gotta learn some day." He shrugged. She sighed deeply and took a sip of her bottled water.
"I guess you're right. He and Kagome have been close lately."
"Yeah, but I highly doubt at this point he's gonna do anything to her."
"Yeah…" She trialed off.
Souta yawned as he played his video game.
"Souta, your sister will be home soon along with Rin and company so can you please put that game up."
"But Kaa-Chan, I'm almost done with this level." He whined. She sighed deeply and placed her hand to her cheek.
"Souta, you are fourteen shouldn't you be tired of these video games."
"Never! As a man I must develop my eye-hand coordination. It's law." He declared. She shook her head and walked out the room. She wasn't going to ask anymore.
The doorbell rang. She walked over to the door and smiled at her brother and sister-in-law.
"Hi Daisuke, hi Risa." She hugged and kissed them. "Come in."
"Did Rin get here yet?" Risa asked.
"No not yet. She called and said they should be here within another hour or so."
"I'm excited, I can't wait to meet the young man she's engaged to." Risa smiled taking her coat off.
"I still think she should've introduced us before the engagement but Rin always did things her way." Daisuke grunted. He wasn't as happy as his wife when he heard of his only daughter's engagement.
"You're happy for her right Kyoko?"
"Yes I am, Rin is a grown woman and let's just be happy it's a fiancé instead of a husband." She looked at her brother who scoffed.
"If she was bringing home a husband I would advise her not to come home unless she wanted to be killed." Both women began laughing.
"Ah Daisuke, Risa, what a lovely surprise." An older man smiled walking into the main hallway.
"Hi Tou-San." Risa smiled hugging him. Daisuke placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Tou-San how are you?"
"I'm hanging in there. I can't wait to chow down on the thanksgiving food." He admitted.
"You have wait thanksgiving is in two days." Kyoko told him. He nodded his head pouting.
"Where's Souta?" Risa asked.
"You don't hear the video game from in the den?"
"Ah, of course he's playing his game." She giggled.
Kagome felt her stomach turning. She was getting closer and closer to home. She couldn't wait to see her mother, little brother and grandfather. She was even going to see her uncle and aunt. She was also hoping she could introduce Inuyasha to some of her childhood friends. She smiled. Inuyasha looked at her and smiled.
"Getting excited?" He asked.
"Just a little bit, it's been awhile since I've been home." She admitted. He smiled and nodded his head.
"I got ya, I need to go away so I can feel that way about going home. Every time I leave from school and I'm like damn gotta go home again." They both began laughing. "So what are we gonna do while we're out here."
"There's a roller skating ring not too far from my house. It's our little hang out." She blushed a bit. He nodded his head.
"Why not, I'll like to meet some of your friends. Do you mind? Or you don't want them to know you have a boyfriend yet?" He smiled at her. She laughed and nodded her head.
"You can meet my friends." She told him.
"Damn straight."
The sun began setting by the time they all reached their destination. Inuyasha got out the car.
"Kaa-San, Sesshoumaru was speeding and he tried leaving me behind on numerous accounts." He whined to his mother. She hugged him and looked at Sesshoumaru.
"Sess, why would you do that? You know he's a new driver." She scolded him.
"Gomen-nasi Kaa-San." He glared at his brother who snickered. Taisho and Rin laughed. Kagome stared at her house and smiled. She was finally home. Everything was the same yet it was a still beautiful to her. Rin ran to the door as everyone unpacked the car. She rang the doorbell.
Souta opened the door and gasped.
"Nee-San." He hugged her. Rin giggled.
"There you go with that San again. Why are you trying to make me older than what I am?" She smiled and hugged him back. "Souta, you're taller than I am." She smiled at him. He puffed his chest up.
"That's right, I'm officially five foot five."
"You're still way shorter than my fiancé." She teased.
"Rinie!!" Risa ran to her daughter and hugged her tightly. "My little girl, I missed you so much." She kissed her cheek.
"Kaa-San I missed you too." She giggled. Kagome walked through the door.
"Konbawa." She smiled.
"Look at my little niece." Risa hugged Kagome tightly. "You looking kinda sexy there Kagome. You've definitely matured. Are you still a virgin?" She asked.
"Ba-San!!!" She gasped with a scarlet face. Rin burst out laughing.
"Don't feel bad Kag, she did it to me all the time."
"Well we all know you're not pure." Her mother teased. Rin simply giggled.
"Nee-Chan." Souta hugged his sister. He missed her so much but he would never let her know that.
"Guys move out the way so everyone else can get in." Kyoko said. She hugged her niece and daughter.
Everyone got inside and sat at the kitchen table.
Rin placed her hands on Sesshoumaru's shoulder.
"This is Sesshoumaru my fiancé and his family. His father Taisho Sugashita, His mother Izayoi Sugashita and his otouto Inuyasha Sugashita."
The Higurashi stared at them in shocked. Risa was the first to speak.
"Oh my what a beautiful family." She then smiled at Rin. "Good Rin you picked out good genes. I taught you well after all." She gave her daughter the thumbs up. Izayoi chuckled.
"I can definitely say the same for Rin's side. It seems we will have beautiful grandchildren after all."
Risa began laughing and nodded her head.
"Right, I can't wait."
Daisuke took a sip of his coffee.
"I just wished that Rin was a bit more responsible and introduce us to Sesshoumaru before the engagement." He said. Rin sighed. She knew her father was going to let that go.
"Don't feel bad, Sesshoumaru introduced us to Rin after the engagement as well." Taisho stated. Daisuke looked at him.
"Really? Seems our children are a bit secretive."
"I agree." He nodded. They both smiled. Sesshoumaru shook his head. They're parents were a bit too alike and it freaked him out.
Kyoko sat down at the table.
"Well, it's great to finally meet everyone and Inuyasha, Kagome's told me so much about you." She smiled. Kagome's face turned scarlet. Inuyasha tried to hide his smile as Rin smirked at her.
"Is that so Oba-Chan?"
"Hai, from what I heard he sounds like a very nice young man."
Sesshoumaru coughed a bit and Inuyasha glared at him. Izayoi placed her hand on Inuyasha's hand.
"It just amazes me how two children who come from the same parents can be so different." She giggled. Kyoko nodded her head.
"I've always wondered at that as well. I know my brother and I are different." She looked at him and smiled. "As well as Kagome and Souta."
"Is the city really that fun? I wanna go to the city and live there." Souta whined.
"You wouldn't make it in the city. They would eat you alive country boy." Rin teased. He puffed his cheeks. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha.
"He's the same age as Shippo."
"Ah Shippo, our little freshman buddy." He chuckled.
Risa looked at Kagome and Inuyasha.
"I just can't help but think that you two are dating." She said and it was Inuyasha's turn to fluster. Izayoi smiled.
"They do make a cute couple right?"
"They do." Kyoko added in. "And he's such a handsome young man. You're sons look exactly alike."
Rin looked at Sesshoumaru and laughed as he moaned. Inuyasha cleared his throat.
"Inuyasha Nii-Chan do you play video games? If you're gonna marry my sister you have to beat me in mortal kombat."
"WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MARRIAGE SOUTA!!!" Kagome yelled at him. He began laughing.
"Aha Kagome's turning red." He teased.
"You little." She grabbed him making him laugh. Inuyasha couldn't help but smile.
Grandpa smiled at everyone.
"Okaeri."
