Dear Readers,
Yes yes I know it took me a while. But I wanted a slightly stress free chapter with a little silliness in it then the ones from before. As you can all tell by now I'm big in to description and love to describe more then chat. So these are the things that I tend to do most often. Any how on to the count I want to see at least 30 reviews before the next chapters. REAL ONES PEOPLE! Like what you would like to see and what kinds of things you want in the story. (not promising that I'll add them but they may help stem later ideas) and also I want to thank all of those who have read and reviewed. You are appreciated. To those that simply read, and then add as a favorite as flattering and largely subduing as that is I would like reviews from you as well. I have a very small ego and with this story need encouragement, and can handle flames with the same cold indifference with which I treat spiders, and mice. So thank you all for your time, and I hope you all enjoy!
Love and light
Lilly of the fall
During the drive Kagome called Sango and told her that they where making a stop and would be there soon. Sango told her that she would be looking forward to seeing her. Kagome agreed stating that they would all eat them self into a chocolate coma before the night was through, because everyone had agreed to stay another night, except for Koga who had to go to work but promised to stop by after wards for breakfast on Sunday. They made their way to a small building decorated in a chocolate brown and a cream color meant to look like white chocolate. They approached the door and Sesshomaru held it open for Kagome. Blushing slightly at the courtesy she walked in, the tinkling of the bell over the door signaling his entrance behind her. There was chocolate every where on walls hanging from the ceiling and on shelves all around the small shop. Behind a glass counter filled with chocolate bark and various assorted items, she saw a women in her late fifty's. She looked at Kagome and smiled. She seemed American but was wearing a skull cap to cover her bald head. She was a larger women, bigger still then Kagome, but her smile was warm. The women lifted golden rimmed glasses to her face, and placed them on readjusting the golden strand of metal that held the glasses around her neck.
Sesshomaru approached the counter, and grinned at her.
"Well I see your back for more my boy whats it to be today?" she asked looking at him.
"Actually it is my friend here that needs your sweets today but I'll take the usual order as well please." he stated. Kagome looked at him quickly,
"You've been here before? huh? That means you have a sweet tooth! ha! I knew it, you have a vice! hahahahahahahahaha!" she giggled merrily. He simply raised his brow.
"Are you going to taunt me or get your sweets?" he asked.
"Actually I can do both!" she said smiling at the women over the counter.
"I'm Kagome." she said in English holding out her hand. The surprised look that crossed her face made Kagome giggle, but she took her hand none the less and replied in English as well.
"Joan, what can I do for you my dear?" she asked
"hmmm lets see..."
That started a whirlwind of different chocolate items rolling from her mouth. The list was so long she had to stop for breath every once in a while when she had finished she looked at Sesshomaru.
"What kind of chocolate does Inuyasha like?" she asked.
"Inuyasha is allergic to coco, but can eat white chocolate. I believe his favorite ones are the raspberry gummy sticks." her eyes where wide.
"No chocolate! thats horrible!" with that she turned back to Joan and added to the list a smaller one of just white chocolate items. When she was done there was an enormous pile of chocolate wrapped separately in packages and boxes. They where all transferred to a few plastic sacks and you could finally see the shorter women again.
"Well my dear I believe this is a large amount, which could only mean you plan on eating yourself into a sugar coma?" she assumed. At the girls enthusiastic nod she grinned. "Ah so much like my self at your age! Now I only crave bread. That's why I don't sell it here or I would never leave and would be very poor." she said, Kagome laughed at this knowing that the women was correct.
When everything was rung up the total came to 150.00 not including Sesshomaru's purchase. Kagome eyes became wide but she reached for her wallet none the less, but was beat to it when the women started adding discounts, and such the total was reduced to 75.00 and Kagome looked at the women owlishly.
"Sesshomaru is a good customer and has been for years. I give discounts every so often, its good for business, and I know I will be seeing you more and more. So this is just a good faith thing on my part as well as a offering of friendship." the women replied.
Kagome nodded and started to hand her her debit card but was stopped when she saw the women already sliding a card through. She was confused until she handed the card back to Sesshomaru.
"Hey I could have paid for that!" she protested. But he simply shook his head.
"My father said for ME to buy you all the chocolate your heart desired. That is what I intend to do. That and I think you have earned it after today." when Kagome started to protest she was stopped by Joan.
"Dear do not tell a man no, when offering to buy you chocolate. Just take it and accept the kindness, in most men it doesn't last long." she said with a wink handing her a few bags. When she was about to leave the women said kindly..
"Don't for get this one dear I have a feeling after tonight you will need it." Kagome looked at her questioningly seeing a large packet of dried mixed herbs.
"Its a candy hangover remedy I came up with it years ago when I was still really into sweets." she explained. Kagome smiled at the women as she came around from behind the counter.
"I'll be back with fresh baked bread for you, you can bet on that!" Kagome said taking the women into a deep hug.
"Thank you dear I would appreciate that very much!" Joan said opening the door for them. When they stepped out Kagome smiled and bowed with a promise to return. The two headed back to the car and placed the bags in the trunk.
"Hey Sesshomaru, can I ask a favor?" Kagome said sweetly. Too sweetly for him he knew that tone and it only meant trouble!
"And what would that be?" he asked standing by her open door, waiting for she had yet to get inside the car.
"Can I drive?" she asked sweetly, giving him large puppy eyes that he had to fight to ignore.
"Do you even have a license?" he asked suspiciously.
"Well yeah how do you think I got to all of those library's, sometimes I flew but most times I just drove." she replied still giving him the 'puppy' look. He sighed, he knew this was a bad idea but he just didn't feel right about saying no, so raising an eyebrow he looked from her to the keys dangling on his fingertips.
"It seems that I don't have a lot of a choice if I don't want you pouting all the way home." he said smirking at her innocently hurt expression.
"I don't pout." she replied indignantly.
"And I have suddenly decided that pink is my new favorite color." he replied straight faced, but still showing humor. She hopped out of the passenger seat and grinned at him walking around to the other side of the car and slid into the drivers seat.
"Yuck, I hate pink, we'll have to have a discussion about your sexual preference's if you start wearing shits that say 'Real men wear pink' cause I am fairly sure that the company that came up with that slogan was a bit crooked." she retorted. Once buckled in she looked at the steering-wheel, it seemed so far away...why?
"Bah, TALL PEOPLE!" she grumbled adjusting the seat to her satisfaction which also included putting the seat up as forward as it would go, allowing her to sit straight up and use proper posture.
"I am only tall because you are short." he said smirking at her fiddling with the seat and adjusting the mirrors. Once she was done she turned to look at him slipping the keys into the ignition.
"We need to stop at the store and pick up some milk and juice and things for breakfast before we get back to my place. Once I'm hyped up on chocolate it is hard for me to do much traveling because then I suddenly discover what people feel like when having a bad case of car sickness." she said grinning. Then laughing maniacally she started the engine and shifted the car in to first. Pulling out of the parking lot she cruised for a bit adding speed as she went.
One of the things that she should have told him and was loath to do so now was that she loved going fast. It made her feel like she was flying but there where better steering and breaks involved, and you could go so much faster!
Sesshomaru caught on to this as she shifted finally in to fifth and took off down the highway heading in the direction of the general store, and was still gaining speed. This didn't worry him, his comfortable traveling speed was 85 after all and when he was in a hurry it tended to add up to about 120 to 145, what worried him was the gleam in her eyes when she looked at him and grinned. Leaning forward a bit she flipped on the radio and turned it to one of her favorite stations from the states, silently thankful that he had satellite radio. The music pulsed through the car and into the two's veins, bumping easily with the bass system. In minuets they where in the parking lot, and she whipped them in to a tight spot between two cars, hopping out she smiled so big her face nearly cracked in half.
"I forgot how much I love to drive. It takes the edge off of things." she said putting the keys in her bra out of habit. Sesshomaru only raised a brow at this action but other wise said nothing, though what he was thinking would have made Miroku proud. Smirking slightly outwardly he followed the girl in to the store and waited patiently as she grabbed a cart and started strolling down the isles. She passed several things down the isle, canned goods, things that where mostly Japanese food products, but still she skimmed the isle looking for the things on her mental list.
"What exactly are you looking for?" he asked curious.
Instead of answering she simply leaned down to the lowest shelf, bending so that her skirt pulled taunt on her tight bottom, giving him a view that made him inwardly gulp. There was a wolf call from the end of the isle, which made him growl low in his throat, turning to tell the intruder that his presence was unwanted he came face to face with Koga. Kagome still seemed not to care, and continued to root through the shelf of cans.
Koga let a wolfish grin spread across his face. "Nice moon Kagome." he said smoothly. Kagome stood up and placed three cans of water-chestnuts in the cart, and turned to face the demon.
"Oh, hey Koga. Whats that about a moon?" she asked sweetly, a little too sweetly for either demon to think it was safe. Koga just let out an indignant Heh, and just smiled sweetly. She however didn't seem to notice.
"Then I guess I'll chalk it up to a wolf thing." Walking away back down the isle, she continued to mutter about dogs and moons.
"I herd that!" Koga cried, and raced to catch her, Sesshomaru followed at an easier pace but caught up to the two quickly. She grinned and nodded.
"I figured as much, I was hoping you would catch the last part too but I guess not." she said and then changed the subject, "So what are you doing here? I thought you had work?" she asked walking down the fresh foods isle.
"Well duh! I work here." he said pointing to the green and black apron around his hard waist. She let out a silent 'Oh' and searched through a batch of green onions picking out the most promising looking out of the bunch. Then heading down further she grabbed a few boxes of frozen spinach. Eying the boxes with disdain, the wolf asked,
"So what are you making tonight?"
"Well I bought enough chocolate to get me in to a nice coma, and still satisfy everyone else, and figured on a wine and cheese night to make it easier on the stomachs." she said thoughtfully looking over rounded loafs of sourdough bread, picking out the one that looked the freshest.
"Yeah but what are you doing with that crap?" he asked still eying the spinach with evil intent.
Noticing this she grinned, "What you don't like your veggies? How sad I love them!" she said heading back over for some bell peppers that she seemed to have forgotten to grab. Picking out several of the colorful vegetables she added them to the cart after placing them in a sack.
"Heck no! I'm a wolf! Meat only, and cooked vegetables when necessary." he added hastily.
"Your going to regret it I'm sure that even demons need the vitamins, just as much as humans do." she said, and headed to get some sour cream, and several different kinds of cheese. Then walking to the next isle she picked out several different kinds of soda, and chips. Then looking at Sesshomaru she asked...
"Would you mind getting me a box of leek soup mix please?" she asked. He only nodded and walked away in the other direction. Turning to Koga she stared at him, "So I have a question for you." she said, he gulped and nodded for her to go on. "Why do you want me to be your women so bad? You don't really know much about me, and you seem like you come from a far better off family then mine. So why the insistence that I'm your's?" she asked evenly while looking through the racks of wine against the wall. Koga's jaw dropped at the nonchalance in the question, as if she wasn't really expecting a good answer. She was reaching up to pick a bottle off the top shelf when he answered.
"Because, there are many things to like about you Kagome." he started, and continued when she looked disbelieving at him. "Your an amazing chef, you have a huge heart, your smart, and don't seem to know what prejudice means. You accept people into your home with out a second thought and feed them all with out even thinking about your pocket book. Your incredible. You show immense power, and superior fighting skills, and intelligence, what guy wouldn't want you?" he finished looking exasperated as though the reason's should have been obvious. But to the girl standing next to him currently holding two bottles of very expensive wine, didn't really understand nor did she looked like she believed him.
"Thats sweet of you Koga, but maybe you should think of how me dating the heir to a large company would look to the rest of the world. My past would definitely be a dark stain on your families lineage. And I'm not all to gather sure that your father would approve, on top of that I do try not to have deep feelings for people that my other friends have feelings for. It turns out to be a very uncomfortable situation, and I would really much rather that such things be avoided." she finished with a kind of cold indifference that felt to him as though she still did not believe in his comments only allowed them as one allows a bug bite. This was both infuriating and curious for the wolf but before he got a chance to respond, Sesshomaru came strolling up with the requested item and laid it in the cart. Instead of saying anything more on the topic he simply changed the subject.
"Well I have to get back to work but I'll stop by afterwards and have a drink or two if I'm still invited. I get off around 8" he said careful of the demon standing next to him. She simply nodded her assent and then turned to go after saying goodbye. She turned to Sesshomaru and smiled.
"You'll have to pay for these I don't think they'll let me." she said handing him the bottles and reached for her purse searching for cash, but was stopped when he just said that it was unnecessary and walked to the register. Huffing at him she followed and soon things where paid for and they where heading to the car. After a call to Sango to tell them they had picked up things for dinner and where on their way home, she stepped in to the drivers seat again, and removed the keys from her bra after some searching, again causing another inward gulp from Sesshomaru. Starting the car she whipped out of the space and headed in the direction of her apartment. The ride was quiet, with only the sound of the radio in the back round, with both occupants thinking about something of their own, yet both about mostly the same thing.
Unknown to Kagome, Sesshomaru had heard everything that the wolf had confessed to her, and had been tempted to stop him, but then heard what he actually had to say and decided that the boy was for once correct, but so was Kagome in a lot of ways. Weather or not he cared to admit it. Though that she knew so much about the situation astonished him as it shouldn't have, had he not already learned not to assume things about this girl? She was a constant enigma to him, a puzzle that he longed to just simply skip to the end and find the code to break it. Sitting back with a resigned look on his face he simply looked out the window and passing scenery admitting a temporary defeat in the matter of Kagome.
Kagome on the other hand couldn't stop thinking about it. Was what he had said truth? She had heard those words before 'not from such a reliable source before' she had to remind herself, but had heard them just the same. She vaguely wondered if that was how others saw her sometimes, if that was truly the mask she wore. She was hardly as caring as the wolf seemed to think, she knew that. Mostly it was out of an un-dieing fear of being alone, that she cared so much for people, plus it was in her nature, to accept all beings with out question to their race, or nationality, that was something she was positive that she got from her mother. That brought on another set of unanswered things running through her mind. She remembered clearly when she ran that her mother had refused to leave, omitting to stay with the despicable man and wait it out, sure that her daughter would make it on her own, as she had raised her to. She also started to think longingly of her son, or adoptive son, she didn't know how Sheridaine was dealing with the added mouth to feed, and tried as often as possible to send money to her friend, to help with some of the expense. And now that she had a job she could move him home to her sooner then she had thought possible, depending on how much she was paid. If nothing else she was sure that something could be done, until then she would wait.
With that thought in mind she pulled in to the driveway and parked the car and got out. Stepping to the trunk to retrieve some of the many bags but was again surprised when only the bag of white chocolate remained. She glared at Sesshomaru's retreating back.
"I could have done that you know!" she grunted out.
He chose not to dignify the comment with a response but instead opened the door and walked in to the kitchen. The sight that greeted Kagome was one that both shocked her and warmed her. Inuyasha and Kohoku both had bandannas tied over their heads and aprons 'which she was sure looked familiar' wrapped around their waist. They where currently dusting various items around the living room and Sango and Miroku looked to be doing laundry, though she noted with a sigh that Sango was folding and handling all of the undergarments. The house looked spotless, the candles had been lit, and someone had lit a very light lavender incense on the central alter. The windows, and the glass pained cabinet doors had been cleaned, and the house smelled faintly of lemon, and pine, as she noticed the bottle of homemade cleaning spray sitting between the two apron covered boys.
"Hey what in the world are you all doing!" she asked grinning at the two who looked absolutely ridiculous in the frilly aprons, one even saying "I have bigger balls then all of you, I just wear them higher" plastered over the top.
"Welcome home Kagome!" Sango exclaimed. "We figured, that if we where to be proper residence of your home, that we should at least help keep it clean." she explained hugging the girl.
"You didn't have to, I don't mind cleaning, really. And you are after all my guests." Kagome said laughing lightly.
"No I guess we didn't but in my family everyone pitches in. And your now family, so I felt that the same applied to your home as well." Sango said. Kagome felt tears prick her eyes.
"Family?" she choked out. Sango nodded. "But how..." she left the question open.
"I believe my father already stated that you have a pack now. And having a pack means that they are as close to family as your own blood." Sesshomaru explained putting the food away with out being asked.
"I just never thought...a family?" Kagome said still tying to understand. For the longest time she only had her mother, her half brother was not counted since she had not seen him in several hundreds of years. And though she had always wanted one she never usually let anyone close enough to be even close to like what a real family was like. Koga's words drifted through her head as she contemplated this new development. This was something that though she would have to get used to she could also come to enjoy.
"Kagome, we all love you dearly, even after knowing you for only a short time. We know that there are things from your past you wish to hide, and only hope that you will share them with us when the time comes, and until then will continue to look out for you as we would our own, you don't have anyone else, and Kohoku and I have been with out parents for so long we are used to just picking up pieces of family as we go. These are things you will get used to, I just hope that you enjoy the change instead of allowing it to worry you." Sango said hugging the girl, everyone had been relatively silent when the other girl was speaking, all adding silent agreements they knew she could see and feel. The others crowded around her except, she noticed Sesshomaru, but that didn't surprise her, as they took her in to their arms and hugged her soundly, as if adding a seal to the silent pact. She smiled and stepped away from them taking a slightly shaky breath she looked them over. An odd pack indeed but that suited her just fine.
"So what all did you get? It looks like you bought out the store." Kohoku asked.
"Well I decided due to recent events that will be explained in time, we all deserved a night of chocolate indulgence, and wine." she said grinning at the understatement. At Inuyasha's look of disappointment she grinned wider, and held out the bag still in her hand to him "Sesshomaru explained that you where allergic to chocolate, and I felt that you needed a something extra." she said urging him to take it. Hefting the bag in his hands he looked inside and became excited at the array of chocolates. Noting several of his favorites he looked at her questioningly.
"Sesshomaru told me some of the things that you enjoyed most and I got plenty of everything. I hate people being left out." she explained heading to the kitchen. Inuyasha looked at his brother, not knowing that he knew such things. He only looked indifferent but if you looked closely you could see a softness in his eyes directed at his brother that had not been there before. Sesshomaru had discovered after Kagome's earlier confession that things between his brother and himself could not remain the same, and that he truly cared for the hanyo despite his mixed blood. Inuyasha nodded to him in slight understanding and smiled.
"Thanks." was all he said and placed the bag on the dining table and sat at the bar removing the apron and head covering. Both parties nodded and took up the normal seats, only Sesshomaru invaded the kitchen as well and decided that the least he could do after everything was help with the preparations for dinner.
"What are you doing in my kitchen!" Kagome exclaimed as a few of the peppers disappeared from her view of the bowl in front of her. Looking up she noted the knife in this hands, and the cutting board in front of him as he began slicing them carefully into julian sticks.
"I'm helping with dinner preparations what does it look like?" he asked still slicing away. Shaking her head she looked at the three at the counter, noting how it almost seemed like mother and father cooking and the children watching from the bar. Smiling she let it go and started cutting the cheese in to flat squares placing them on the waiting platter. That done she pulled out the spinach and bread and left over ingredients, as well as some garlic and some onion soup mix from the cabinet above her head. Slicing and mixing the ingredients she soon had a wonderful dip, put together. Then grabbing a short bread knife and the sourdough bread round, started carving a bowl to put it in slicing the extra bread into squares for dipping. Soon everything was finished, and was being placed on the table. The extra green onions where also laying on a plate next to the peppers, and some carrot sticks, and celery that she still had in her fridge. Deciding that there was enough food for everyone she got small plates and wine glasses from the kitchen, and added them along with a few utensils. Then she removed the now chilled wine from the freezer and placed them in buckets with ice from the freezer. As everyone sat down the looked at her in question as she stood standing. She smiled secretively at them and left to go retrieve something from the back of her pantry. Walking back to the table she produced a large purple glass decanter with silver fairies painted on the side, and a crescent moon stopper in the top. Smiling she explained...
"I made this in the states, its Mead and is made from honey and many kinds of herbs. Its a favorite drink of mine and is much like wine only gets you drunker faster. I brewed it about 50 years ago, and think that this is the perfect time to open it and celebrate. Its not often you have so many good things happen all in one day and I would like to thank the goddess for it all by sharing it with you." with that said she opened the bottle releasing a slightly sweet and warming smell from the inside, and poured a bit in and extra glass that looked like the goblet from the alter, and then placing some of the food, chocolate included onto a smaller plate then the others, also looking familiar to the ones on the alter. Then she walked gracefully over to the alter and knelt as they watched and placed them on the table and then bowed respectfully saying a quick thanks and touched her head to the floor and then stood. At their questioning glances Miroku decided to explain.
"She is thanking the Mother Goddess, for her gifts, and so has decided to invite the divine being to our little feast." he said in assumption. At the girls nod he grinned, the rest nodded understanding, and waited for her to seat herself.
"Thank you all so much, and I hope you enjoy!" she said and served the mead to everyone as the first drink then served some to herself. "To the Goddess!" she said and toasted to them, them all muttering a toast as well. And commenced eating and serving different things onto their plate, when Sango caught Inuyasha eying the bowl of bread and dip with distaste. Kagome noticed as well and sighed.
"Not you too!" she exclaimed. At his look of confusion she elaborated. "We ran in to Koga at the store, and he seemed to hate spinach too, and said that he was not made to eat meat except for when he had to. I was hoping at least you would give it a try." she said with puppy eyes that Sesshomaru recognized immediately. Inuyasha looked hesitant but at the look from the rest of the group he sighed, and took a piece of the bread and dipped it in the bowl. Popping it into his mouth he gave a thoughtful look and then continued chewing, suddenly his face brightened and he grinned.
"This is awesome!" he exclaimed happily taking a large spoonful and a handful of bread chunks.
At the comment the rest of the group took healthy portions as well, then one after another took hesitant sips of the mead in their glass. There where shocked expressions all around, and several comments about how good it was. Once a healthy portion of the food had been consumed and the other wines had been opened everyone was feeling warm and fuzzy inside, and they all picked up their plates and headed in to the living room to watch some more movies. Kagome followed them in holding the bags of chocolate and the bottle of ginger ale which had been transferred in to a carbonated container much like a compressed keg. Setting them all down she produced boxes and packages from each bag and then stood.
"Wow it looks like you really bought everything Kagome. I thought you just bought big stuff, but this looks like everything what is your plan!" Sango asked eying a chocolate covered mint globe from her position on the floor in front of the couch.
"A chocolate high, soon followed by a chocolate coma!" Kagome said grinning. Both girls nodded in excitement as they grabbed a healthy dose of each placing them in bowls that had been produced. Sesshomaru dipped into his own stash, as did Inuyasha and Kagome took her seat next to Sesshomaru in the big chair, and produced the same fuzzy blanket. Placing the wine glass between her thighs she used the remote to press play, and they started watching 'The dark crystal'.
After the movie was over they decided to play another game that was a little more of a drinking game, but also to get to know each other. They all sat in a circle 'Sesshomaru not able to opt out of this one sat next to Kagome. Then every one waited for Sango to explain the rules.
"Ok, heres how we start. Each person gets a shot glass, and sits in a circle. Then we go around the circle and each person will say, "I've never done this" and you say something you have either done or something that you haven't, the trick is to remember what each person says because if you repeat the same 'I've never' you have to take an automatic ultimate dare. But if you have you take a shot, if you haven't then you don't. If there is a round where no one takes a drink then the person asking has to take two shots. If you do it two three times in a row you have to leave the circle, and fill the drinks of the other people." She explained, everyone nodded understanding and the game started. The questions where normal things like 'I've never worn a dress, or I've never danced on the moon." these things where answered appropriately. Once they got to Sesshomaru, he sat for a moment thinking, then decided that he wanted to get back at Kagome for the never worn a dress thing. 'I mean it was a dare, and I never back out of a dare.' the thought but it had been a blow to his ego just the same.
"I've never worn colored contacts." he said. Kagome was the only one to take a shot. After tossing it back she looked at the group and saw them all looking at her most with 'what the hell' expressions. And she could tell they wanted her to explain, and since the others had done this for other things she didn't see how she could avoid it. Sighing heavily and deciding to get back at the guy later she reached up to her eyes and placing a fingertip in each took the contacts out, to reveal her violet eyes, that where currently looking very embarrassed.
"Been wearing them since I started high school." she said waiting for the next person to go. That apparently was not going to happen. Sango opted to speak first her eye very large by now.
"Why do you cover up that awesome color!" she asked. The others nodded. Pinning Sesshomaru with a hard stare she placed the contacts on the table behind her and replied carefully.
"When I was younger I was made fun of for everything about me. My hair, weight, and mostly my eyes. I found it strange with as many demons running around but since none of them had violet eyes, I didn't know how people here would take it, so I just changed them. I tried many other colors but blue was the only one that covered them up all of the other ones allowed the purple to show through."
The others looked at her then Miroku spoke up: " I think its lovely you should go with out them. It shows your true beauty rather well." he said smiling. Sango and Kagome thought of possible hentai thoughts but brushed it off.
"I agree, it looks cool, plus there is nothing wrong with being different." Inuyasha said wiggling his silver puppy ears. Kagome and the rest just nodded, that was true enough they all had a little something different about them.
"Ok my turn, hmmm... I've never made out with my pillow before." Kagome said smirking evilly. And she laughed out loud as Sango, Kohoku, Inuyasha, and Miroku all took shots, then nearly fainted as Sesshomaru did too!
"OH MY GOD! Are you kidding me! I didn't think... wow!" then she laughed even harder at their reaction as she too took a shot.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, still playing the game when the door bell rang. Getting up and muttering something about Koga showing up she walked to the door.
Opening the door she nearly burst with glee... standing there was some one she had not seen in a while.
