Mistress of Darkness Katana: It will be in the next two chapters that we get back with the Uchiha's and all hell breaks loose!

((I just realized that this is the third chapter for today! Oh wow! :D ))

~Chapter 5~

The next morning, Kagome woke up at the butt crack of dawn, as she had for the past five and a half weeks. She stretched and grabbed her clothes for the day, wandering out of her room and down the hall to the bathroom to get ready for the day. She showered and dressed in her usual capri pants and a kimono top, today's was a purple top with green leaves fluttering around the hem of the shirt and sleeves. She walked out of the bathroom while brushing her hair, thinking. 'I really need to get my hair cut soon... Its too long to be reasonable.' She walked downstairs, looking at the chandelier in the stair well. She smiled. "Aniki knew I love butterflies." She giggled softly as she walked under the swarm of the beautiful glass insects.

As she walked out of the stair well, she spun to the side, knowing that a maid would be running past in her haste to make her Lord's breakfast. Kagome rolled her eyes and walked into the dining room. "Could you be a little less intimidating to the staff?" She asked Sesshomaru as she sat in her seat., brush still in hand.

Sesshomaru looked over the top of a book he was reading then returned his eyes to the pages. "Hn," was all she would be able to get out of him until later.

Kagome huffed softly and crossed her arms. "At least we get to finish signing the adoption papers today!" She smiled as she started to think of where the three children were going to stay, and who they's get to meet once they were done shopping that afternoon. "I can't wait for them to meet Sasuke! He will finally have someone his own age to play with!" She smiled and danced a little in her seat. She gasped and moaned softly, sliding down her seat a little. "That felt good. My back finally popped."

Sesshomaru snorted at her actions and set his book down when breakfast was brought out. "Are you finished yet, imouto?" He watched as Kagome stuck her tongue out at him and raise an eyebrow. "Put that back in your mouth or I will remove it from this one's sight." He smirked as Kagome's eyes widened and pulled her tongue back into her mouth.

Kagome smiled and took a bagel. "I love bagels and fruit..." She took a bite then looked up at Sesshomaru, who only had a piece of buttered toast and a cup of coffee. She rolled her eyes as she ate and finished her breakfast. She slid her plate back and smiled. "So are we going to head over to the Orphanage to finish signing the papers next?" She smiled and clasped her hands together, excitedly.

"We are leaving in a few minutes, so I suggest that..." He looked up from his coffee to notice that his sister had disappeared... Again. He rolled his eyes mentally and drank the rest of his coffee then went to his office to collect the papers. He headed back out into the main hall and ducked in time for Kagome to jump right over him. All he heard from the passing girl was a faint 'Thanks!' before she disappeared down the hall. He mentally sighed and followed after his little sister. "At least this should help her gain some
responsibility..."

Kagome and Sesshomaru had arrived at the Orphanage and as soon as Kagome took a step in the door, she was promptly bowled over by two little boys. "Kagome-chan!" They yelled as they latched onto her. They looked up at her smiling face and started to laugh.

Kagome smiled and laughed as she fell flat on her ass and hugged the two boys. "Shippo! Inuyasha! I see you two are ready for the day." She smiled and looked around. "Hey, where's Rin?" She stood up and had Shippo propped up on her left hip with Inuyasha on her right hip. She smiled as she watched the shy little girl look around the corner of the counter. Once she saw who was here she smiled a little and ran over to Kagome, holding onto a little white puppy dog.*

"Gome-nee-chan.." Rin mumbled softly, looking up at the one person who was most like an older sister or a mother to her. She smiled and held up the stuffed puppy. "I named him Shomu!" She smiled then went over to Sesshomaru and held her arms up. Sesshomaru smiled softly at the little girl, a smile only resevred for her, and picked her up. Rin smiled even more and hugged Sesshomaru.

"Are we ready then?" The main worker walked out with papers in her hand. "Alright Higurashi-san, with these adoptions, you are now the elder sister to Shppo, Inuyasha and Rin." When she said that, it made the boys' eyes widen and look at Kagome.

Kagome smiled and nodded. "Thank you. I've been wanting to adopt them for a while." She smiled and looked at the three children. "You three finally have a home again. And this adoption would meet that Seshomaru will be your aniki too."

Inuyasha and Shippo held onto Kagome, thanking her over and over and over again, with little Rin hugging Sesshomaru around his neck. "Can Shomu be my otou-san"" Sesshomaru's eyes widen slightly and held Rin close.

"I'll be your otou-san if you would like." Sesshomaru said softly, rubbing Rin's back gently. He heard her mumble something into his shoulder and smiled a little, making it out as a 'Thank you'. Sesshomaru turned and looked at Kagome, watching her with the other two.

"Now. If Inuyasha will walk, I will take Rin, Shippo and Inuyasha shopping for a few things then meet up with Mikoto." Kagome smiled as Inuyasha let go and slid down. Rin reached over and took ahold of Kagome's neck instantly.

Shippo smiled and let go too. "I'll walk too!" He slid out of Kagome's grasp and latched onto her hand instead. "My okaa-san." He smiled and hugged Kagome's legs, Inuyasha mirroring him. Rin nodded into Kagome's neck.

Sesshomaru raised an elegant brow. "At least we know that they will be well taken care of and loved. And I do believe that you were going to introduce them to Mikoto's youngest as well, correct?" He saw his sister nod, adjusting Rin to sit on her hip. "Try not to scare Itachi too much when you are over there as well."

Kagome pouted a little and stuck her tongue out then remembered his threat from earlier that morning and put it back in her mouth. "Aww... But where's the fun in that?" She asked as they headed out the door and into the streets of Konoha.

Sesshomaru ignored her comment. "When you are shopping, simply have them send the items straight to the house." Kagome nodded in return and headed off to the shopping district. Sesshomaru mentally sighed, a habit he was quickly developing. "She's going to buy all of the stores they stop at..." He shook his head and headed home to await the arrival of everything to be bought.

A/N: The stuffed puppy dog is Sesshomaru's true form from the anime, I thought it would be cute to have Rin carrying around a mini puppy Sessho~
