Shippo seeing that his mother had no intention of answering Ayame with a straight answer spoke up. "Ok mother I
think you've had your fun for now why don't you come in and meet the rest of our families." Ayame looked from
Shippo to the woman in front of her and back a couple of times "No" she said softly. Kagome smiled at the woman in
front of her "Yep in the flesh" she said in a cheerful tone. Ayame shook her head "It's not possible that was 500
years ago if you're really Kagome than I'm a monkeys uncle" she said snidely. "Well than my dear you are getting a
sex change" Koga spoke from her side laughing. Ayame turned her wide eyes to her mate "Wait it really is her, but
how we've been looking for the last 200 years you even said that we wouldn't see her again" she stated in
disbelief.
Kagome looked back at Inuyasha "200 years huh?" she asked with slightly wide eyes. "Hey wench it's not like you
told me what year you were from, and your family wasn't at the shrine so we gave up" he said looking over to Sota
and his mom. Sota stood looking at his big brother like figure still slightly in awe that he was right before him in the
flesh "Sis kept looking for you guys she never gave up" he said looking back to Kagome. "That would be my fault"
Shippo spoke "With the help of Shiori's barriers and my kitsune magic we've made the concealing spells tough
enough that our youki isn't even noticeable by a miko, even one of moms standing." Kagome's mother not for the
first time looked at the man with pointed ears and red orange hair it was the second time now that the man called
her daughter mom and she was a little worried. "Excuse me you keep calling my daughter mom is there something I
should know about?" she asked shifting her eyes from the man to her daughter.
Kagome laughed from her spot just past the stairs and made her way up to the others standing in the door. "Why
don't we all go inside and we can explain all of this for you" she said putting a hand on her mother's arm and
leading her deeper in the house. Ayame still stood looking where the miko and the others disappeared than up to
her mate "What happen to her?" she asked wonder still in her eyes. "I don't know mate but she might explain at
least a little to us why don't we join them, oh and go and get Dee from the back yard along with Michel and bring
them in" he said walking past Ayame to follow the others in the house.
Sesshomaru had watched the ordeal from the living room window; the more he saw of the mikos abilities the more
he wanted to square off against her. She was ungodly fast, clever as a fox and just as powerful as him. All things
considered he was sure she would give him a run for his money though he doubted she would beat him if he knew
it was coming. She was remarkably more playful than she was 500 years ago, though he supposed he didn't really
know her than. As much as he admired her new found strength he wanted more so to know how she got it. She
didn't look that much older than when he last saw her so the time between her return and now couldn't be that
long. And the control she now displayed should have taken a normal miko longer than one life time to accomplish,
yet her she stood in as much control of her own powers as he was after centuries of training. Once more he found
the woman peaking his interests.
They walked in to the living room and it was as grand as the rest of the house. High vaulted ceilings with skylights
and low hanging lighting was the first thing Kagome noticed. Nest was the furniture in the room, from the look of
things Inuyasha had done quite well for himself over the years. That made Kagome smile; they had decided long
before she was exiled from the past that they were just best friends with a family type of love. So to know that he
was mated had beautiful children and a wonderful life allowed her to feel a bit of happiness she long ago locked
away.
They all found seats around the many couches in the room, Kagome noticed 2 new additions to the group that she
had yet to meet, and while they drew her curiosity she only had eyes for what she now knew as her grandson.
Daiski feeling the woman that he only knew as his friend's sister looking at him elbowed his father "Hey dad why
does she keep looking at me?" he asked with concern. Shippo couldn't keep the smile from his face "Why don't you
ask her son she won't bite I promise" he said with a laugh. Daiski looked at his father than back at the woman and
figured if his father knew her it should be ok. "Um excuse me by why do you keep looking at me?" he asked,
Kagome smiled warmly at the teenage boy "Well what else would a grandmother do to her grandson?" she asked
back. Daiski got a confused look on his face, what was this woman talking about there was no way she was old
enough to be his grandmother.
Dee sitting in his father's lap watched the interaction closely, the woman was very pretty and he wanted her
attention just like Daiski was getting. "I don't think you're a grandma at all your way to young and pretty, give me
just a few more years and I'll make you my woman" he stated bravely. Kagome's eyes shot to the young wolf sitting
in Koga's lap that was a spitting image of him other than his bright green eyes rather than blue. She burst out
laughing along with the rest of the room all but Sesshomaru of course. "Well thank you little one but I assure you I
am his grandma" she said still smiling. "I'm not a little one my name is Dee" he huffed out to her. She was treating
him like a child and though he was only 10 in human years he was way older in demon years. He was brought out
of his thoughts when he heard his mother speak to his father, "Oh my god really as if you claiming her 500 years
ago wasn't enough now my own son does. What is with my family and mikos?" she huffed crossing her arms over
her chest. Koga once more laughed and ruffled his son's hair "So why don't we get all the introductions out of the
way I know most of us know each other but there are a few new additions to all of us.
Kagome smiled and nodded and started with her family. "I'm Kagome Shinkon miko adopted mother to Shippo and
Rin. This charmer next to me is my younger brother Sota, I know Inuyasha already knows him along with Daiski and
Mya but the rest of you don't. Finally this wonder woman on my other side is Satomi my mother who supported me
for all of my time traveling years and then some." She ended with a smile. Leeya who sat at the feet of her mother
and father sputtered slightly "THE Shinkon miko" she hissed. She had read countless stories of the woman and
heard even more from both her mother and father, and here she went up against her. It was completely
unbelievable to her, maybe she could get lucky and spend some time with the woman to get to know her after all
the shinkon miko human or not was one of her biggest heroes the woman was told to be as warm as the sun as
gentle as a flower and as loving as a kami. How could she not idolize her a little bit? Kagome only smiled at Leeya
and nodded.
"Keh, let's get on with this I'm starving" Inuyasha huffed to the astonished wolf and happy miko. "You three already
know me" Inuyasha stated "My mate Shiori my oldest pup Mya my second pup Michel, Shiori is also pupped again
but we don't know if it is a boy or girl" he finished with a light blush. Kagome stood up and hugged Shiori tightly "Oh
that's so wonderful" she said happily. Shiori was a little worried at first she knew that Kagome and Inu had been
close back in the day of jewel shards but was immensely relived to know that she was happy for them both. A soft
"Thanks" was let out as Kagome released the half bat and sat back down.
Shippo started next "I'm Shippo adopted kit to Kagome, my mate Rin and our youngest Kit Daiski" he said smiling to
the woman that was his grandmother and the teenager that was his uncle. Even if he never met them till now it
wouldn't change the place they held in his heart. After losing his real mom and dad and then Kagome family was
everything to the fox and he wasn't going to waste another minuet not letting them know. He stood up and hugged
both Satomi and Sota tightly and stepped back "I know I'm a lot older than both of you but in my mind ever since
Kagome told me about you guys 500 years ago you have been family and I would like to get to know you as my
grandmother and uncle" he said with a pleading look. Satomi couldn't fight the puppy dog look any more than her
daughter could "Of course dear I'd love to get to know you" she said happily. Sota looked a little more skeptical
than his mother "I don't know isn't it going to be a little weird having and uncle the same age as you youngest kit"
he said the last word sounding weird on his tongue. Shippo laughed and took his seat again "Won't be weird in the
slightest uncle" he said smiling. Sota's face scrunched up slightly at the man's words and it only made him laugh
louder.
Koga spoke up next "I'm Koga the man that should have been Kagome's mate" he said playfully, Ayame next to him
elbowed him in the ribs and growled low. She hit him hard enough to knock the wind out of him so she finished for
him "I'm Ayame his mate Dee here is our youngest pup and Leeya is our only daughter" she said with a smile to the
humans across from them. "Only daughter yes but best tracker in the east" Leeya added she wanted to impress
the miko across from her she really did want to get closer to her.
Kagome smiled at Leeya "Well I'll give you credit little Leeya you only slipped once while tracking me" she said in an
approving tone. She didn't miss the inspired looks Leeya had been sending her since she found out who she really
was. It seemed really important for the young wolf to have her approval and Kagome was quick to give it just as
she always had been. Leeya beamed at the approval of the miko that had just totally made her day. "Ok well shall
we be off to dinner than I'm a little hungry myself" Kagome said while standing up. "Kagome dear" Satomi said to
get her wayward daughters attention. "Hmm" she hummed as she turned back to her mom. "Aren't you forgetting
someone?" Satomi asked softly, Kagome looked around the room she didn't think she was but her mother seemed
to think otherwise. Looking at her mother again the question was clear in her eyes, and Satomi huffed "Who was
the handsome man that brought us to Inuyasha's home?" she asked looking to said man.
Inuyasha couldn't help but sputter at his mother figures words, Sesshomaru handsome she didn't know what the
demon was really like. "Really Satomi I don't think it matters it's not like the bastard will stick around for dinner"
Inuyasha stated.
