Kagome had enjoyed her lunch and was now riding yet another bus to the north side of town to visit her mom and
brother. She pulled out her phone and dialed her mom, they had a brief conversation in which her mother asked her
to stop at Sota's school and walk him home. Kagome quickly agreed whatever extra time she could spend with him
would be great and it's not like she wasn't use to walking all the time anyways. She stepped off the bus a stop
early and jogged to the jr. high her brother went to. She reached it just as she heard the bell ring and smiled, she
was just having perfect timing all over the place today. Sota walked out in the company of three other teens two
boys that look about his build one with brown red hair that seemed to stick out more than the other very normal
looking boy, and a girl that was shorter than him but had platinum almost white hair. The sight of the girl made
Kagome take a deep intake of breath the hair color just brought back to many memories. There was no way it was
natural or if it was the girl was not human. Taking a little bit of a chance Kagome let her powers trickle out just to
feel the aura of the teens around Sota. Her search was well worth it two of the three were defiantly yokai, she
quickly pulled her powers back as she didn't want to startle the teens and it seemed they had yet to notice her.
Surely even yokai in this day and age were warned of miko's and what their power would feel like.
Sota was talking to his friends when he spotted his sister, it had been months sense the last time she visited. He
couldn't help his excitement and ran ahead of his friends to hug his big sister "Hey sis, I didn't know you were
coming today" he spoke when he pulled away. Kagome smiled at him and ruffed up his hair on top of his head
"What cant a big sister surprise her little brother once in a while?" she asked in a fake hurt tone. Sota shrugged to
her "Sure but I already told my friends I'd walk home with them is that ok with you?" he asked rubbing the back of
his head in slight embarrassment. Kagome wrapped an arm around his shoulders "Sure fine me" she said happily.
Maybe this would give her a chance to see where some yokai lived it would help in her search. The other three
teens made it to their side Sota was quick to introduce them to his big sister and them to her. "My sister" he said to
them and started to point to his friends "This is Alex," he pointed to the human teen, "this is Diaski" he pointed to
the red brown haired yokai, "and this is Mya" he said with a slight blush to his cheeks pointing to the girl in their
group. Kagome smiled widely at them "Nice to meet you all" likewise the greeted her back and they began to make
their way down the street.
Kagome threw her arm over her brother's shoulder once more after the first of the teens had been seen to his
home the human one of course. "So Sota is this pretty little girl here your girlfriend" she taunted. A dark blush made
it to his cheeks "Oh come on sis please" he said pushing her arm off "She's just a friend really" he said looking away
so his blush couldn't be seen. "Ah well her loss" Kagome stated in a matter of fact way. The other two teens just
stared at her "What? My brother is a really good guy if you don't see that little Mya well your loss" she stated as if
she was not talking about the people right next to her. Diaski laughed out loud "Wow I wish my siblings were and
loving as you are" he said to Kagome. Kagome's smile was once more on her face "Thanks, and I'm sure they are
they just show it differently" she said over to him. He got the cutest pout on his face that reminded her of her kit
and she felt her fingers twitch with the desire to hug him. Their walk soon came to an end in front of a very large
mansion with gates at the front. "Wow witch one of you live here" Kagome breathed out. Mya giggled "That would
be me" she said a gentle smile on her face. Kagome turned and looked at her it was at that time that she spotted
the golden hazel eyes the young teen had. Again her breath caught if they were a little more golden and a little less
green they would be mirror images of her old best friend. Kagome shook her head "Well you parents must be really
important people" she said to distract her own wondering thoughts. Mya shook her head "No not really they just
saved up when they had the time" she said somewhat cryptically. Just than a black BMW was making its way down
the road "Aw here comes my dad now, Sota would you like to meet him?" she asked a slight blush to her own
cheeks. Sota was quick to respond "Oh…um...maybe next time I'm sure sis here would like to get home to visit with
mom. So I'll catch you guys tomorrow at school" he said dragging his sister away by the arm.
Kagome glance over when the car pulled to the gates the windows were tented so she could see inside she
wanted to meet the man but it was clear her brother did not. Turning fully back around she trotted to catch up to
her brother who had let go of her arm just shortly before. She once more threw her arm around his shoulder and
began chatting about how her collage life was going. The man in the car turned as his daughter opened the door
and climbed in the back and his best friend's son climbed in to the front. "So who's the boy Mya" he asked in a gruff
tone. Mya just blushed "A friend daddy that's all" she whispered out. "Ya the guy you want to be your boyfriend"
Diaski taunted from the front seat. Mya kicked the seat in front of her "Shut up" she hissed. Inuyasha just shook his
head at the teen's antics and turned his head to face out the other window. He saw the woman running to catch up
to the boy and the way she threw her arm around the teens shoulder was too close of a reminder of how Kagome
had once done the same to him on many occasions. Letting out a sigh he rolled down his window and entered the
code for the gate and drove down the driveway. All this miko talk got his head all messed up, "So does this boy
have a name?" he asked to his daughter again. "Hmm... Oh yeah it's Sota" she said off handily. Inuyasha suddenly
hit the brakes on the car throwing them all forward slightly "What was his name" he basically yelled. "God dad what
are you trying to do kill us" Mya hissed from the back seat still rubbing her head where she collided with the seat in
front of her. "What was his name" Inuyasha asked again almost impatiently. Diaski sitting in passenger seat looked
over to his adopted uncle "It's Sota, why what's the big deal?" he asked rubbing his arm that hit the dash.
Sota and Kagome came to their house rather quickly when they entered they didn't stay long her mother hand
made reservations at a local restaurant and wanted to take the family out for dinner. Sota had run upstairs to
change quickly and just as quickly as they had shown up they were out the door again. The restaurant was on the
east side of town it and would take about forty minutes to get to it. The ride had seemed shorter to Kagome mostly
because she was spacing out most of the right ideally listening to her brother and mother talk in the front seats.
Her thoughts back on the young female teen she had met earlier in the day. She really wanted to ask the girl who
her father was but wasn't given the change with Sota pulling her arm and all. She sent a slight glare to him in the
front seat witch of course he didn't see but it did make her feel better at least a little. When they arrived back at the
restaurant they were quickly led to their seats. The meal was pleasant enough and the company help settle a little
of Kagome's loneliness though she knew it was to be short lived. Being that they were on the east side of town she
was close enough to walk back to her apartment with out to many worries. Of course her mother had fought with
her but Kagome put her foot down saying there was no need for them to drive her when it was only six blocks away
and was still very light outside. They parted with Kagome giving a promise that she would call as soon as she got
home so they knew she was safe and tight hugs for all. Kagome stood on the curb wavering as the car pulled out of
sight than began her short walk home.
Inuyasha had quickly finished the drive down the drive way hell bent on interrogating his own child as well as
Shippo's when they got to the house. It was too much of a coincidence that the boy's name was Sota and that he
just happened to have a young woman walking with him. When the pulled up to the house he ordered both of the
children out of the car and in to the house, they were worried Inuyasha seemed really distraught about something
and neither had ever seen him in such a mood. Once they were all in the living room he spoke "What's Sota's last
name" he asked hurriedly. The hope blooming in his chest was too much to try and calm down. Both teens looked at
him "Honestly daddy I don't know he's not even in my class" Mya spoke first. "Yeah we met him completely by
chance walking home one day" Diaski added to what Mya said. Inuyasha deflated slightly "And the woman walking
with him who was she?" once again both teens shook their head Diaski answering for them "No idea he only
introduced her as sis no name." Inuyasha deflated a little more it was obvious neither of them were going to have
any answers for him he would have to look in to it on his own, "Ok, you guys can go sorry for scaring you earlier in
the car" he spoke in a low tone. Diaski was quick to up and leave the room seeking out his adoptive male cousins.
Mya went over and sat next to her father "Daddy what's wrong?" she asked in a tender tone. "Don't worry about it
precious go do your homework or play till dinner" he said softly rubbing the top of her head. She huffed at him
messing up her hair but walked away some times her father got this way and it was best to let him sort out his
thoughts on his own.
