Sesshomaru was quick to make it back to his car with Kagome and her family following close behind. As he was
opening his door to get in he couldn't help but smirk at her mother's words. "So Kagome dear who is your good
looking friend, please tell me you are finally moving on and looking for a boyfriend" the elder woman stated
elbowing her daughter lightly. Kagome groaned "Mom please he's not my boyfriend I have better tastes than men
to involved with themselves to see past their own nose" she said and heard the answering growl from said male.
Kagome's mother's face fell slightly "Oh surely he can't be that bad dear" she said in a motherly tone. Kagome only
laughed and opened the back seat door getting in the back with her brother. Sota had stayed quiet the whole time
not real sure what to make of the man that arrived with his sister.
"So sis who are we going to see? I thought all of your high school friends moved away?" Sota asked still watching
the man in the front seat. He looked anything but normal and for some reason Sota thought he looked something
like Inuyasha but that couldn't be demons didn't exist in this time. Kagome smiled widely at her brother "Well you
will just have to wait and see, but I'm sure you'll be more than happy with the visit" she stated with a knowing
voice. Sota only shrugged at her he knew how his sister could be ever since the well closed she got this way it was
her way of dealing with things she turned them in to jokes and games to avoid anger and pain.
It wasn't very long till they were once more pulled in front of the gates of Inuyasha's home and Sesshomaru was
entering the pass key to enter. Sota looked around and noticed right away where they were with a blush on his
cheeks he whispered to his sister "Kags what are we doing here?" he was worried he worked extra hard not to run
in to Mya's father and now here his sister was serving him up on a silver platter. Kagome leaned over and wrapped
her arm around his shoulder "I told you little brother visiting old friends". Sota had figured out by now that his sister
was not going to answer him as to what the whole reason was but he really didn't like being kept in the dark.
"My, what a lovely home do you live here?" Kagome's mother asked to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru scoffed at the
woman but his retort was cut short by a very strong kick to the back of his seat. He glared at the person
responsible from the rear view mirror and only got a glare back. She didn't say anything but her message was clear
as day 'be nice'. He wondered ideally when she became so silent, as it wasn't what he remembered of her. Deciding
to play nice he spoke to the woman next to him "I do not live here this is my brothers home" he said in his normal
bored tone.
They pulled up to the mansion and all got out it was then that Sota felt really uncomfortable his skin was crawling.
It was a completely new fleeing to him, when Kagome came around the back of the car Sota grabbed her arm and
whispered "Sis something is off here my skin is tingling". Kagome stopped and looked over to her brother flaring her
powers she saw a purple aura surround her brother and smiled. "Well would you look at that it does run in the
family" she said pulling Sota along to the front door where her mother and Sesshomaru already were at.
Inside the mansion Diaski, Mya and Leeya were sitting in the living room watching TV while their mothers were all in
the kitchen making dinner and who knows where their fathers were. Suddenly they were brought out of their
stupor by the feel of a strong miko right outside their home. Leeya was the first up knowing the feel of that
particular power she was half way to the door shouting for her mother when the door was opened and Sesshomaru
walked in. Ayame and Shiori where walking in to the foyer when the saw Sesshomaru walk by "Leeya get back in
the living room now and find your father" Ayame said in a commanding tone, passing her daughter to the front door.
She didn't know why Sesshomaru hadn't felt the miko but she would not let the woman near her pup again after
the last encounter. Shiori was much calmer than Ayame something about the power felt familiar and it didn't seem
threating at all. She reached over and grabbed her daughters hand and followed after Ayame she didn't want blood
shed at her house if it could be helped.
When they reached the front door they saw and older woman standing in the foyer admiring the art on the wall.
Ayame stopped dead the woman didn't feel like a miko much less look like one "Can I help you?" she asked a little
snidely. Kagome's mother was snapped out of her wondering by the voice and turned to look at the two women
and girl standing just feet from her. "Oh I'm sorry my daughter invited us to dinner with some old friends I was just
admiring the art" she said in a happy tone. Ayame didn't know what to make of the woman but Shiori was quick to
set things right "Oh you must be one of our guest, but I'm sorry who is your daughter?" she asked in a kinder tone.
Just than Sota walked in the door, the moment Mya caught sight of him she left her mother's side to greet him "Oh
hey Sota, um what are you doing here?" she asked blushing darkly. Sota smiled at Mya "Sis brought us with her but
Mya something is up around here my skin is crawling" he said looking around the house.
Ayame was about to lose her temper here where these strange people in her best friend's home and she wasn't
getting the answers she wanted from any of them. She approached the older woman and went to lay a hand on
her shoulder to get her attention when she found her wrist in a tight grip by a young woman. "I wouldn't if I was
you" the voice that came from the woman was almost dark and Ayame took it as a threat right off the bat "Look
here little missy I don't know who you think you are but you better get your hands off me right now" she growled
out. Kagome tugged the wrist she was holding and pulled the woman right out the door releasing her wrist as she
did. Ayame was quick to get her balance back and spun to face the bitch "Hey what is your problem?" she shouted.
Kagome smiled "My problem is people who think to put their hands on my family because they are having a temper
tantrum" she said back.
Shiori watched as the two woman began to circle one another quickly she grabbed Mya's hand "Go and get your
father and the other guys" she said hurriedly. Mya nodded and ran off to the back of the house to do as she was
told. Kagome's mother had grabbed Sota and pulled him in to her wrapping her arms around him in some form of
protection. Shiori saw the older woman panic and sought to assure her "Its ok really Ayame has a temper
sometimes don't worry you and your son are not in any danger" she said comfortingly. Kagome's mother nodded
but didn't say anything keeping her eyes on her daughter and the strange woman outside. They had just started to
come to blows by this point neither of them landing any just blocking each other a lot.
Kagome was getting bored it didn't take her but a few minutes to realize just who this woman was if the fire red
hair wasn't a dead giveaway than the youki she could feel coming off of her was. She smiled as she watched Ayame
lunge at her she was only toying with her and the red head still had a temper. As she spun to the side out of the
way she turned quickly and kicked Ayame square in the ass. Ayame yipped and jumped slightly from the unexpected
kick "Hey what kind of attack was that?" she asked mortified at such an attack. Kagome brought one hand under
her chin and looked at Ayame with a thoughtful look "Hmm it was one befitting the child you are acting as" she
replied and watched as Ayame's face became red in her anger. Now it was getting fun, Ayame once more ran head
on at Kagome attempting an attack. Kagome smirked and let her powers flow waiting for just the right moment. She
watched as Ayame faulter slightly at the feel of her miko powers but was happy when she didn't stop her charge.
Just as Ayame was in striking distance and was sure she had the miko she was gone she felt a slight wait on her
shoulder than nothing.
Leeya had had enough when she heard shouting from her mother she ran outside just in time to see a glimmer of
the miko she encountered spring off of her mother's shoulder and land on top of the covering of the porch. Leeya
ran out and turned and looked up at the woman "You" she shouted pointing at Kagome. Kagome smiled down at
the little wolf she had met earlier that week "Hello again little Leeya" she said smiling. Ayame followed her
daughter's finger to the miko sitting on top of the roof and her eyes widen. Just how did a human do that "What
kind of miko are you?" she asked in wonder. Kagome smiled "One you should not have forgot Ayame" she jested
and watched as the wolfs eyes got even larger.
Inuyasha Koga and Shippo came to the front door just in time to hear Kagome speaking they could see nothing of
the miko but her feet swinging lazily from the top of the porch roof. Koga stood slack jawed just how did she get up
there, Shippo was in a fit of giggles once more wondering if his mother was kitsune somehow, and Inuyasha just
huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. None of the three had on their concealing spells but Mya noticed both
Sota and his mother staring openly at her father. "Um Sota I know you want to freak out but please don't" she said
in a pleading tone. Before anyone could say anything else Inuyasha found himself tackled to the floor by two very
happy humans. "Oh my god Inuyasha is that really you?" Sota asked he couldn't believe his hero was right here in
front of him. Inuyasha laughed loudly "Hey squirt long time no see" he said ruffling Sota's hair. Kagome's mother
was quick to pull herself back together she was happy to see the young man again but she was still a mother "It's
good to see you again Inuyasha" she said reaching out and tweaking one of his puppy ears gently. Inuyasha
smiled and hugged the woman once more; she was like a mother to him back in the day, the second one to accept
him for what he was.
Ayame still standing next to her daughter and staring at the miko that knew her but she couldn't seem to remember
and was getting angry again "Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on here" she yelled breaking up
the happy reunion of the three. Koga walked up to his mate and wrapped an arm around her "Calm down mate" he
said rubbing her back. "Calm down…calm down the miko that could have killed our daughter is right there and you
tell me to calm down" she shouted. Kagome stood and began to float down to the ground again with the use of her
powers "Could have yes but didn't" she said laughing. "So know any mikos that won't kill a demon on sight" she
taunted Ayame.
