Chapter 9: The rest of the family

Kurama just stared at the girls for a minute before slowly nodding. Kagome's face lit up instantly, and a huge smile came onto her face. Midoriko gave a small but kind smile, and laughed when she looked over at Kagome. Sango just smiled politely.
"Be right back!" Kagome said, running into the house. A crash was heard, and then Kagome running out of the house, holding her head. "We should leave now. Ow…my head hurts…" she mumbled the last part, rubbing her sore head.
They just stared at her weird before nodding.
"What? What'd I do now?"
"I'll…just go get the stuff then…" Midoriko said, beginning to walk towards the house.
"Okay. Whatever you do, don't go upstairs. I swear she'll kill you."
Midoriko nodded "Alright then. Thanks." Then walked into the house.
"What are we going to do with all of them?" Sango said, pointing to the people watching them.
"Umm…we could have some helping out my mom…then some helping Bankotsu and them…then some helping us!"
"What about your dad?"
"What about him? We'd need a female to go over there; otherwise that slut would be doing everything she could with them. No one is going over there." At that Kagome gave a disgusted look.
"And school?" Sango asked.
"We aren't even registered yet, are we?"
"Nope. Not for another two weeks."
Kagome sighed. "Then at least we can get use to everything, and get a job."
Sango nodded just as Midoriko came out of the house and walked up to them with a bag of food.
"We should get going now."
"Yup. C'mon guys." Sango said, walking up beside Midoriko.
Kagome sighed, and walked behind them, glancing at the forest for a minute, before looking at the sky. The others followed behind them.
Kurama looked over at Hiei, silently asking if he knew exactly where they were going. Hiei simply answered with a hn, and a nod.
We are going to see her mother.
'There a specific reason why?'
No.
'And you're absolutely positive we can trust them?'
…no…
"The lass doesn't look to happy." Jin whispered to no one in particular.
"Thinking of something that she doesn't like, either that, or it could be a memory." Touya whispered back.
Everyone in back were listening to the conversation, while Hiei just wanted to sigh.
What's wrong with you?
'Do you mind giving me a warning before you decide to invade my mind?'
I will not repeat myself
'Just…thinking. sigh I'm bored.'
You changed the subject.
'Sorry.'
Hn.
'You can come up here you know. You guys don't have to stay back there.'
Hiei began to walk a little faster, and up beside Kagome. Kurama and the others watched, waiting for something bad to happen, but nothing did. Kagome just turned her head towards him and smiled, then looked back at the others with a small smile.
"We're almost there." She said, turning her head to the front. When she did that, she found three kids running at full speed towards them.
Rin crashed right into Kagome, making her fall backwards onto her bum, with Rin on top of her, panting and looking at her with a big smile. Kohaku stopped just in time to miss crashing into his sister, along with Sota, except, he didn't run that hard into Midoriko.
"I think you need to practice your stopping, Rin." Kagome said, picking herself up, with Rin still attached to her, and dusting herself off. "People, this is my little sister Rin, and over there is my little brother Sota, then next to him is Sango's little brother Kohaku. Then this- Rin? Leggo. I can't breath."
Rin shook her head, looking back at the others. "Hello!"
After a while of trying to get Rin off of her, she finally succeeded. Turning her towards the people, she introduced everyone. Beginning to walk back with everyone, Rin started to take quick glances at Sesshoumaru.
Catching this, Kagome whispered over to her. "Go talk to him." Then gently pushed her back.
Rin cautiously began to walk back over to him. When beside him, she found that he was staring right at her. Staring for a minute, she gave him a big smile, then finding Akira a little ways away, smirked with a mysterious look to her eyes. Akira returned the smirk. Then Rin ran up to him and pushed him to the front of the group right beside Midoriko, then ran back over to Sesshoumaru. Grabbing his hand, she walked beside him, talking about everything and anything that came to her mind.
When they reached the two houses, they walked up to the white house, knocking on the door. Koon-Loun answered and raised a brow.
"You could just enter, you do realize that…right?"
"Yes, but what about our guests. You know that rule thing? Why don't we give you some helpers?" Midoriko asked, gesturing to the others behind her.
"Oh? Come in. We don't have enough room for two people. Maybe only one more. I guess that I could use the help."
"Then…Sesshoumaru. Would you like to stay here and help out?" Midoriko asked. "It already seems like you can take care, and keep Rin quiet."
"Yeah. Plus, she is also a bundle of trouble. You could help Akira teach her how to fight. Only if you want to." Kagome added in from her spot in between Kurama and Hiei.
"And you can beat up Brianna!" Rin added in excitedly.
"Rin…stay away from Kagome for a few years, okay?" Sango asked.
Rin shook her head. "Nu-uh! She deserves it!"
"We know she does, but you shouldn't be so violent."
"Why? When Miroku was around, you were really violent all the time."
"That was different!" Sango said, her cheeks beginning to turn a pretty pink color.
"So? You were still violent." Right when she said that, Kagome ran up to Sango and put her arm around her friends neck, then dragged her over to Koon-Loun.
"Momma…four?"
"One."
"Three?"
"Two."
"Deal." Kagome turned to the others. "Umm…we'll bring someone else later, kay?"
"That's fine. Sesshoumaru, was it?" With his nod, she continued. "Would you like to stay here tonight, or with them? Your choice."
"…I'll stay."
Rin gave a big toothy grin, while Koon-Loun gave him a kind smile. "Alright then. I'll go fix up your room, and Sota, Kohaku? Show them around the house. Rin, could you go steal some flowers from next door to bring into the house? Make sure you don't get caught, though. Wouldn't want Brianna to throw a casket, now would we?"
Her face brightened. "Nope!" Then she ran outside.
The others looked around for a while, then went back inside. They found lots of food ready to be eaten.
"Dish up! I'm guessing you still have some work to do? You cannot work on an empty stomach you know. Just don't eat too fast. You could get sick." They ate, then visited for a while, then finally going home.
"Okay…sleeping arrangements…Hiei knows his room, so we'll put Kurama beside that. You two can go. Midoriko is across the hall from my room…so…"
"Shima will be beside me, along with Haku. (The other dragon)"
"Then I guess Jin and Touya will be by me."
"Yup. Then Inutaisho and Akira…What to do with you…" Everyone had already gone to their rooms, except for those three. When they were about to go upstairs, there was a knock on the door. "Who could that be? Akira, could you get that, please?"
He nodded and went to the other room while Kagome thought out where she could put them. Opening the door, he found a beautiful female fox youkai.
She had long orange hair with shining emerald green eyes that had a look of defiance in them. She wore skin tight clothes, the top was red, with black shorts, and no shoes. Her tail flicked once in annoyance.
"Can I help you?" He asked the man behind the demoness.
"Yes. This is for the owner of the house." He pushed the girl into him, then left.
"Okay…what's your name now?" He looked down and asked her.
"Sai."
"…Right…" Closing the door, he led her into the living room.
"Too many people!" She screamed when she saw Sai. "Arg! More names to remember!"
The demons all flinched when she yelled. Trying to calm her down, they tried to help with the arrangements.
"You. Otherside of hall. You. Beside that. You, umm….beside…the room across from mine. I'll show you. Now what's your name?"
When it seemed as if she wasn't going to answer, Kagome sighed and shrugged. Walking up the stairs, she pointed to the room.
"Kagome, her name is Sai."
"Thanks Akira." She smiled. When they found their rooms, she went to her own. Sounds of 'Good night' were heard throughout the house before all was quiet and everyone was sleeping.
Morning came and Kagome, Midoriko, and Sango were the first ones awake. Going outside, Sango and Kagome decided to spend that time sparring. Since neither had a weapon anymore, they used their fists and legs. Midoriko watched for a little while before going over to check on Suikotsu and everyone over there.
Sango landed a punch to the stomach before Kagome kicked her in the side with her left leg. Dodging another punch from Sango, Kagome got close to the ground, swinging around and tripping Sango, who did a back flip and ran at Kagome.
During this time, the others came out and watched.
"And here I thought humans couldn't fight without using guns." Sai said, not once taking her eyes off of the two.
"These girls can surprise people." Akira said with a smile towards her. Turning his head back to the two, he came to a conclusion. They needed to train more. Walking forward, he walked right in between the two.
Sango, seeing this, backed up and went to the side to watch. Kagome got into a defensive position when he walked into their little spar, while he got ready to attack. Both of them had their eyes locked onto the other, never looking away as he attacked and she defended herself. When he disappeared, Kagome quickly looked around. When she couldn't find him, she remembered something he had said before.
"You need to work on concentrating your power. There will come a day when your opponent will somehow find a way to get out of your site. Be ready for that."
Closing her eyes, she focused on finding his aura. Expanding her search, she kept all of her focus locked on his aura. So when it started moving and running at her, she simply sidestepped, opened her eyes and gave a swift kick to his back.
"Getting better."
"I do try." Her stomach growled. "But I'm more hungry than anything right now." Giving an embarrassed laugh, she began walking back to the house, him following beside her.
In the house, Sango came up beside her. "You know…that was pretty good."
"Are you sure?" Kagome asked, pulling out some pans.
"Yup!"
"Do you need any help?" Kurama asked from the doorway.
"Umm…Nope. We already have two extra hands helping out. Thanks for asking though. Go relax some." Kagome replied, while Sango smirked at his confused expression.
"Who would that be?" Sai asked, entering and sitting down in a chair by the island. "Some dorky imaginary friends of yours?"
"Umm, no." Sango said while Kagome grabbed the top of the girls head while working on something else. Pulling her head back, from leaning on her hands, Sai yelled.
"Let go!" While a pang sounded. Letting go of her head (Not hair) Sai looked in front of her where her arms and head use to be in shock, along with everyone else.
"Katyana, she doesn't know any better. There is no reason to get so angry. I don't want any blood in my house." Kagome said, not once taking her eyes off of the batter.
"Hey, can you grab some water and the eggs for me. Kagome where's the lighter? The stove won't light up."
"Hey, Hiei, want to help her out?"
Walking into the room, he simply touched the stove and the burner lit up.
"Hey, thanks!" Giving a nod, he went and sat at the island as well.
"Hey Kurama? You can control plants…right?" Nodding, she continued. "Can you make vegetables and herbs, or do I have to buy the seeds for it, then grow them?"
"I can grow the herbs from these seeds, but the vegetables I would need seeds for."
"Alright, then you and me will head out to get some seeds to begin our garden! After breakfast." Both girls cooking something began to stack them on plates. Pancakes and eggs were on the menu.
"Let's eat!" They said once they were finished, passed the stuff out, and Midoriko came in and took her own plate.
