Enjoy!
Kagome looked up at the shrine. Mikage Shrine wasn't nearly as large as her family's shrine, but it was fancier. She could tell that some form of magic was keeping the whole area in tip top shape.
She walked under the tori arch and shrank back when a bluish violet fire circled her body. From the energy she felt, she could tell that it was fox fire.
"Mikage, how dare you leave for twenty years," came a voice from the flames.
Kagome rolled her eyes and moved forward to the door of the largest building on the shrine. She knocked three times and waited.
The door was opened by two little people. Before they could continue Kagome pushed them out of the way of the blue fire that was heading toward her. She ducked, thankful for her reflexes.
"Mikage, how dare you leave me to take care of this place for twenty years," a voice called out.
She looked up and her jaw dropped. Tomoe? What's he doing here?
The fox came closer, his fox fire surrounding his body, "I'll kill you for abandoning me!"
She fixed his with a bored look, "Okay, I don't look anything like that blonde guy who's scared of dogs."
The fox paused, his hand inches from her face. He looked her over and leaned away with a frown on his face.
"Onikiri, Kotetsu, she isn't Mikage," he said to the two little people who had opened the door.
"But she has the symbol of the Land God on her forehead," claimed the one in the spotted mask.
The other one jumped up, "I can feel Mikage sama's spirit coming from her!"
Tomoe folded his arms, "She isn't him." He looked her over, "Who the hell are you?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. I thought that I had left quite an impression on him too! Well, maybe some demons have bad memories.
"Well Tomoe, I came across a blonde man on my way home. He was hiding in a tree from a dog that was barking at him. In return for saving him, he said that he'd give me this shrine," she told the fox, handing him the paper.
The fox looked at it in distaste, "This is definitely Mikage's writing."
"Yeah, he then planted a kiss on my forehead, said something and left. He was gone by the time I understood what he said though," she told him.
Tomoe sighed, "The man you saved, was the god of this shrine. He left about twenty years ago and we haven't seen him since."
Kagome could tell that Tomoe wasn't happy.
"To be given the shrine, along with his powers, makes you the Land God now," Tomoe explained.
Onikiri and Kotetsu jumped on her in that instant, "We have a new god ! What's your name milady?!"
Tomoe snorted and hooked a finger under chin, making her look up at him. "There is no way that you're a god. You're just a weak little human." He pushed her away and stood to his full height, "I refuse to accept you."
He then pulled out a hand fan and muttered, "Get her out of here. We don't need her."
Kagome glared at the annoying fox. "Well, I might not be able to stay here anyway. That is my mothers decision. You're going to have to get over it. If I live here, you'll be stuck with me. And if I'm not allowed, I'll still come to take care of the shrine, so too bad foxy!"
Tomoe backed up in shock, "How do you know I'm a fox?"
"None of your business," Kagome smirked, folding her arms.
Tomoe glowered at her. He looked to Kotetsu and Onikiri and said, "If she stays, I'm leaving. I'm only Mikage's familiar. I refuse to help this little girl."
"Well, you'll find out tomorrow if you're leaving or not. I suggest that you prepare just in case!" Kagome snapped.
She stood and turned back to the door. "See you tomorrow foxy," she called over her shoulder.
Tomoe was left in a confused state. "Didn't she seem a little too accepting of everything?" he asked the two will-o'-the-wisps.
They shrugged. "I hope she can stay. I liked her hair." Kotetsu said.
Onikiri nodded, "Will you really leave Tomoe dono? If she stays?"
Tomoe shrugged, "Most likely."

The next day, Kagome returned to Mikage Shrine. Her mother insisted on seeing the shrine and meeting the servants. She then decided to tell Sesshomaru who then told Shippo and Koga.
Kagome had rushed ahead to warn the fox not to act disrespectful in Sesshomaru's presence.
She opened the door to the house without knocking. She owned the place now, she could go in if she wanted. She didn't expect to see Tomoe lounging in the floor without a shirt on, surrounded by female demons who were pouring him sake.
She cleared her throat and got all of their attention. "Nice to see you all. I have some people who would like to check out the shrine and if you want to stay, behave!" she ordered.
Tomoe snorted, "You just had to bring your girlfriends huh? To show off the hot fox right?"
Kagome snorted as well, "Like that would ever happen. No, my mother is coming to check out the place and then she'll answer me. The three coming with her are friends, but they're males and I suggest that you show some respect to them."
Tomoe stood up and glared, "I'm not your familiar. I don't have to listen you!"
"True," she nodded.
Tomoe smirked, thinking that he had won.
Kagome smirked back as she sensed the auras of her friends outside the door. "However, you'll have to answer to him, should you not obey me," she pointed to the door as Sesshomaru stepped in.
Watching Tomoe's face go from triumphant victory to pure terror in a second was great! Kagome had to contain her laughter.
Sesshomaru, Koga and Shippo stepped into the room. The three exuding powerful auras that screamed, 'Don't mess with us'.
The females that had been lavishing Tomoe with attention, were on their knees, bowing to the Lord of all demons.
Sesshomaru regarded the fox with disgust, "Another wild fox Kagome?"
"Hey!" Shippo yelled as their camouflage spells released, leaving the three in their normal humanoid forms. Pointy ears, fangs, claws and long flowing hair all free to gaze upon.
"He was already here. According to him, he's the familiar of the previous owner," she explained with her palms raised in defence.
Tomoe looked at the three demons in shock. His eyes drifted to Kagome with confusion, "How are you, a puny little human, on good terms with the strongest demon in the world?"
Kagome grinned, "I'm his adopted sister." She laughed as his face paled.
Sesshomaru looked about the room, "Your powers sustain the shrine. If you were to ever leave, the shrine would wither away into nothingness. A useful skill."
Tomoe looked a little smug when he heard that. His smugness was dashed at the next thing Sesshomaru said.
"Nothing that can't be easily replaced though. An expendable talent that this Sesshomaru can easily make up for," Sesshomaru gave a casual shrug.
Kagome nodded, "Exactly. So, whether you stay or not, doesn't matter."
Tomoe could feel the crushing pressure of Sesshomaru's youki. The other demons that came with him were hanging back, not doing anything.
Kagome's mother came into the room, and the youki dissipated. "It's such a lovely shrine! Kagome, you know that I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I think your next adventure will involve this place. You have my blessing dear," she smiled, patting her daughters back.
Koga and Shippo stepped forward, their eyes on Tomoe. "What will you do?" they asked in unison.
Tomoe didn't really want to leave the place he had called a home for so long. He didn't want to subject himself to being a servant of the girl either. But, she had connections with the Lord of all demons. She was considered his sister. If he acted untowardly to her, his life would be forfeit. He also didn't know when he'd see Mikage again. With the girl there, he might show up at some point, and he didn't want to miss that.
Tomoe let out a frustrated breath, "I'll stay."
Onikiri and Kotetsu cheered. Kotetsu then said, "All you have to do is sign the familiar contract!"
Onikiri nodded excitedly, "Yes. Then Master Tomoe will have to do whatever you order him to!"
Tomoe felt like killing them then as a horrible smirk came over Kagome's face.
"How do we sign this contract?" she asked with deep interest.
The will-o'-the-wisps shouted, "You have to kiss!"
Besides Kagome's mother, everyone else was gagging or showing some form of disgust.
Kagome looked at Tomoe in confusion, "You said that you were Mikage's familiar. So, you kissed him?!"
Tomoe was red as a beat. "I can't remember when we met, or how we met. But yes. It was forced on me though!"
Shippo and Koga snorted, "Sure."
Shippo calmed down and fixed Tomoe with a glare. "If I find out, that you did anything to my mother, I'll kill you. You may be older and of a rare breed of Kitsune, but I've been trained by Sesshomaru and you will have nothing on me."
Koga was serious as well, "And if I find out that you made a move on my woman, I'll skin you you stupid fox! I'm much older than you Kit and I'm still the Prince of the Wolves."
Kagome frowned at them, "Koga, you are mated now! Stop saying that! I was never yours to begin with!"
"Until you are mated, you are still my woman. I was the first to lay claim on you and until you are mated to someone that we all agree on, by pack law, you're still mine," Koga huffed.
Shippo snickered, "Even though she technically belongs to Sesshomaru now because he adopted her into his own pack. So, really she is his."
Koga grumbled, "You had to say that?"
As the fox and the wolf got into an argument, Tomoe was completely bewildered. A mature Kitsune considered a human woman his mother? And the Prince of the Wolf Demons considered her his woman even though he had been mated for a while? How old was this girl? Was she even human?
Sesshomaru stepped in front of him, his cold golden eyes piercing Tomoe to the core. "You will not force yourself on my imouto if she does not welcome such advances. This will be simple kiss and nothing more," the Taiyoukai threatened.
Kagome stepped up to his side and patted his shoulder. "I don't think we'll have any problems. He's nothing like Kurama was," she reassured him.
Sesshomaru growled in annoyance, remembering how the Master Thief had bothered Kagome for several months on end. The damn fox had followed her everywhere! It was extremely aggravating! Then one day, he caught wind of something valuable that was being guarded very tightly and he bade Kagome farewell, promising to see her again.
He was disgusted, remembering how he had to drag the fox away from the miko while she tried to bathe. Just because the Legendary Bandit was once his sensei, before he became a thief, didn't mean that he could disrupt Sesshomaru's pack. Whether the pack knew they were his or not.
"Kurama has purple foxfire. Tomoe's is bluish/purple. Just because they both are Gin Gitsune, doesn't mean that they are exactly the same. Kurama would be seducing me the moment he looked at me. Tomoe isn't like that. In fact, since he kissed Mikage, I'm sure he'd hit on you, not me," Kagome said with smirk. A little jab at the prick for forgetting her so easily.
Tomoe's jaw dropped at the insult to his sexual preference! How dare she!
He marched around the feared Taiyoukai and grabbed the girl by the shoulders. Pulling her forward, he slammed his lips against hers.
A blinding pink light engulfed the room. He backed off, "I like women, you stupid girl."
Miraculously, he was able to ignore the pissed reaction that the three other demons had. He refused to look at the girl. Or even acknowledge that he had just signed the contract with her.
Kagome's mother looked around the room and smiled. "I think everything will work out splendidly, don't you?"
