J: I repeat from last chapter, you guys are awesome with how many of you are now following me. I am now up to 35 followers :) I'm glad so many of you are finding interest in this story despite the lack of extreme details or plot thus far XD Again I ask that you all bare with me on my bad grammar since I don't have a BETA.

Thanks to: IntertwinedMelodies, Moliviaj, and Sarah :)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters.

P.S. How is my portrayal of Sesshy and Miroku? Accurate? Close?

Chapter Three

That night and every night to follow throughout the week Rin would call Shippo at exactly 4:30 and the two children would talk until supper time. Until that phone call Shippo would regal his adopted mother with all the details of his time spent with Rin that day at school. Kagome was positive that by Friday night she knew almost everything about Rin.

On the other side of things Sesshoumaru felt the same way. From the second Rin got into the car until she made her phone call Sesshoumaru heard everything and anything about the fox demon kit.

It was thanks to his half brother's work that he knew just as much about the kit's mother Kagome Higurashi. The information made the miko even more of a rarity to his reasoning.

The report read.

Kagome Higurashi.

Age :25

Single

Graduated Taishou Secondary School with honours.

Graduated Taishou Univeristy : Minor in Business, Major in History.

Presently working part time at 'One Cup' and 'Breakfast Beats All' as a waitress.

Adopted son Shippo, fox demon kit. Legally adopted three years ago. Suspected of being in custody longer.

No remaining relatives due to accidental fire?

Sesshoumaru stopped at the underlined and questioned word 'accidental.' InuYasha wouldn't bring that to attention unless there was more to it. He was correct as he received a second report that included police records and statements about the incident. There was also a newspaper clipping about the fire. This information was curious but not his main focus at the moment, his objective for this background check was to ensure that Rin was not in danger. He continued to skim through the remainder of the general report.

Known best friend: Sango Taijiya, also godmother for Shippo Higurashi.

Known instructors for spiritual training: Kaede Edo and Miroku Hoshi.

Next to Miroku's name was an additional side note: Let me know how he explains this one.

It was nine, Rin was in bed asleep and Jaken was cleaning the house, it was the perfect time to interrogate his perverted partner.

Regularly Sesshoumaru would simply call, in this matter he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of reaction this topic would elicit. That left him his least favourite option, Skype. The website was used only if absolutely necessary or in this case it was the more convenient method.

Logged on Sesshoumaru clicked on the only name he kept in the contacts. The call was answered in an instant.

Miroku's face with his short black hair pulled back in a tail and a single hoop earring appeared smiling pleasantly through the screen, "Good evening Sesshoumaru, what has plagued you to urgently call?"

Sesshoumaru held up the picture of Kagome that came attached to the report, "Explain your connection to Ms. Higurashi."

Miroku blinked in confusion at seeing the picture, the question got him smiling again, "Nothing romantic if that's your concern. We were introduced through a mutual friend named Kaede. I'm quite curious as to your knowing of Kagome my friend."

"Rin has become friends with her fox kit."

"And naturally you needed reassurance that Kagome wouldn't be a threat so you had InuYasha do a background check which lead to my involvement. Well I can vouch for Kagome that she will never be a threat to Rin or you unless you become a threat to her or Shippo first."

"How much of a threat could she become?" Sesshoumaru was aware that Ms. Higurashi had powerful reiki, she wouldn't be able to create barriers otherwise. As her instructor Miroku could give him a better understanding of just how powerful she was.

Miroku's demeanor became solemn, "Do you recall the priestess Midoriko?" Sesshoumaru nodded, he had been told about the strongest priestess by his father who had actually met her. "Kagome is a descendant and has inherited her powers. She is not fully trained to use that power to it's full potential but she has enough control to use it when necessary."

"If she can use it at will then how is she not fully trained?" Sesshoumaru could not make sense of what Miroku was saying.

Miroku in turn felt that this tidbit was important for Sesshoumaru to know if he wanted to be on good terms with Kagome, "Kagome can control and use her powers at will. But she is a very emotional person, if angered her powers will react to her. At times like that it's best to steer clear of her, for that is when she can't control her powers."

Sesshoumaru thought back to the times he'd spoken and seen Ms. Higurashi over the week. She'd been nothing but polite and calm. "Hn, that is all."

"That's it? No questions about what she likes, her favourite movie, or anything?"

"This Sesshoumaru has no such interest in Ms. Higurashi." He hit end call then blocked Miroku from contacting him. There was no attraction to the woman and he was content to stay single for as long as possible.
