Hello everyone! Sorry I've been neglecting this story a little. I've been doing a lot of thinking about creating a sequel to my first story and I'm happy to say that I think I will. But I'm not going to post it until I get a sufficient amount of chapter on this and my other story. So enjoy the chapter!

A Family Reunion

It had been almost two weeks since the dance and the after party. Before the wolves and Bella left Koga challenged Kagome to spar. She had excepted and they sparred for a little bit before Kagome taunted him into changing into his true form. Thankfully they were deep enough into the woods where no one would notice the giant two-story wolf that was Koga. The Quillette boys were truly impressed by his form and practically fell to their knees at the sight of him. After the boys and Bella left Kagome said goodnight to her vampire friends and told Edward she had some calls to make but he was welcome to stay which of course he did. She dialed the international operator and asked for Sesshoumaru Taisho.

Flashback:

"Sesshoumaru Taisho speaking." Sesshoumaru answered in his monotonous voice and Kagome had to giggle.

"Is that really how you answer your calls? Not a simple hello?" She teased and she could hear the smile in his voice.

"Ah if it isn't a certain miko turned vampire who can't seem to stay out of my hair."

"Yup that's me. Say…are you done with your business is Australia?" She asked hopefully.

"Yes actually we got back to Japan two days ago. Why do you ask?" Sesshoumaru asked suspiciously.

"Welllll I saw Koga for the first time in a while tonight and it made me realize how much a miss my family. And I wanted to know if you, Shippo, Rin, and whatever family you may have had time for a little vacation to come visit your favorite miko turned vampire?" She asked even more hopefully than before. He seemed to be thinking about it.

"Yes I think we could come up for a while to see you. I know Shippo and Rin will be happy about that. And there are a couple people I'd like you to meet. Give me your address and we'll be up in a couple weeks." He finally said. Kagome squealed and gave him her new address. She told him to give Shippo and Rin her love before hanging up and flinging herself at Edward.

"Oh Edward! I'm so happy! You'll get to meet my other family! Oh you have to help me prepare the perfect welcoming party!" She said excitedly and he laughed before agreeing and kissing her right on the mouth.

End Flashback.

Kagome, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, and Sota were setting up outside for the big party while Kun-loon, Carlisle, and Esme were in the kitchen where Kun-loon was teaching them how to make Japanese dishes and Esme was teaching Kun-loon how to make American dishes. They were both very excited to be able to cook once again and they actually had people to eat the food they were making.

Outside they were setting up the pool/surrounding forest area in a big luau themed party. There were paper lanterns draped around the pool and around a clearing in the trees right behind the house that would later serve as their dance floor but was now occupied by a volleyball net. There were tiki torches and patio tables set up around the pool. Kagome even purchased some water lilies to float in the pool.

It was just about 4pm when two sleek black cars pulled into the driveway. Kagome rushed to the driveway in time to see Sesshoumaru step out of one of the cars and she threw herself into his arms.

"Sesshy!" She said into his chest while he affectionately patted her head.

"Hello Kagome. It's nice to see you again. I'd like you to meet someone." He said to her once she stepped back. He opened the passenger door and out stepped someone Kagome hoped to never see again.

"Kagura!" She exclaimed instinctively going into a defensive stance.

"Please, Kagome. There is no need to be on your guard. I'm Sesshoumaru's mate. After you destroyed the bastard I fled and lived a life of freedom. Every now and then the ice prince and I would run into each other. Eventually it turned into something and we mated and were married." She said while going to the back door of the car and three half inu half wind youkai stepped out and bowed respectfully to her.

"Kagome these are my children. This is my eldest son Katashi, my second eldest son Kaito, and my youngest. My daughter Hotaru." he said indicating to his children. They were all very alike. The two sons had Sesshoumaru's silver hair with black streaks and Kagura's red eyes. Whereas his daughter had black hair with silver streaks and golden eyes. All the children had the crescent moon marking on their foreheads.

"It's very nice to meet all of you!" Kagome said and then heard someone clearing their throat behind her. She turned around just in time to be lifted off the ground by her son.

"Shippo!" She squealed as he spun her around in a circle before he set her down and kissed her on the forehead.

"It's nice to see you again okaa-san." he said smiling

"Yes Kagome-chan. It is so very nice to finally see you again after what, 500 years?" Kagome heard a giggling voice and rushed over to hug a pregnant Rin.

"Rin! Oh my goodness! If I could cry I would! You're pregnant! That's so wonderful! I'm going to be a grandma! Ha!" Kagome said while holding Rin in her arms.

Rin had gained some changes to her as well when Sesshoumaru adopted her into his family. She was rather short. Only about 5'3" and her dark brown hair grew to mid back and gained many silver streaks. Her brown eyes now had golden flecks in them making them very warm to look at. But what Kagome noticed most was the two silver dog ears on top of her head. Kagome felt a pang in her heart as she reached up to rub them. Rin let her friend rub them, remembering how Kagome so loved Inuyasha's ears.

"Oh…uh come in won't you? I want to introduce you to everyone!" Kagome said once she caught herself.

She led everyone inside, showed them where to put their luggage because they would be staying with her instead of having to get hotel rooms. She introduced everyone to her mother and her new vampire friends. The children's mouths watered at all the delicious food that was set out along the kitchen counters and sizzling on the stove or baking in the oven. Their eyes got even wider when they reached the backyard and saw the large pool and all the pretty lanterns, torches, and volleyball net.

"Why don't you go get changed into your swim suits and we can all go swimming or play volleyball before we eat?" Kagome suggested happily. They all agreed and headed up to their rooms to change. The vampires were already in their swim suits and were just wearing cover ups over them.

They all shed their cover ups to reveal the suits they were wearing. Kagome was wearing a light blue bikini with gray splotches on it. The top was an embellished triangle top that was embellished with woven and metal designs. Alice was wearing a simple red retro one piece and Rosalie was wearing a plunge neck monokini (A/N a one piece with parts cut out of it). The guys were all in trunks of different colors.

Just as her Japanese family was coming back downstairs there was a knock at the door. Followed by the knock were Bella, Jacob, and Koga. Koga's jaw dropped when he saw what Kagome was wearing and was about to rush to her and take her in his arms but a look from Kagome and Edward stopped him in his tracks. Kagome told Bella they were all going swimming so Bella removed the pink swim cover up she was wearing to reveal a black tankini with a colorful paisley design.

Kagome was in the middle of talking to Koga and Kagura who had somehow moved past the fighting when Sesshoumaru and Shippo appeared behind her, grabbed her arms, and threw her into the pool, creating a large splash and many laughs from the children. She surfaced the water and glared at the two men.

"Oh. You are so dead." She said dangerously while jumping gracefully out of the pool and rushing at her demon boys who poised for the attack. But they underestimated the strength of a newborn vampire and they went tumbling into the bushes when Kagome tackled them. Kagome and Shippo popped out of the bushes with Kagome chasing Shippo around the yard. Kagura walked over to where Sesshoumaru was still in the bush.

"You ok love?" She asked him as he stood.

"Hn…I feel 1000 years old." He grunted and she laughed and Sesshoumaru looked appalled.

"I am only 900 years old."

"Oh my apologies young prince." She snickered and walked away with him drilling holes in the back of her head. He rolled his eyes and looked over to see Shippo slipping from a sleeper hold Kagome had him in and fell with a thud to the ground. Out cold. She stepped over him dusting her hands off.

"Who's ready for dinner?" She asked with an innocent smile.
