Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Searching through the ancient scrolls of her ancestors had taken a lifetime. Although she had studied them a great deal, she wasn't really one for tradition. Besides, after the love of her life betrayed her for power, Genkai wasn't really ready for the kind of trust and teamwork required of the demon slayers.

No, after the man she loved betrayed her, she felt alone. She was too afraid to risk her heart, her dignity again. No one could possibly understand how she came to be the bitter, old hag fate had made her.

{I still say we should go after her, you Pansy.}

Shuuichi was not in the mood for Youko's banter today. He was on a special assignment in the Makai to locate and make contact with a demon codenamed `Brat'.

[Not now, Youko. We're on a mission.]

{Speaking of that, what kind of idiot picks a stupid codename like that. Must be one of those idiot breeds that growl to show their inept skills to tactfully take down an opponent and find mates by trying to cover their stench with their own feces.}

Kurama quietly moved through the forest, approaching the rendezvous point amidst the verdant, lush vegetation that had, at one time, filled the human world. But now, it was only easily found in the demon realm.

Kurama began to turn back to see if the demon he was to meet was approaching from the opposite direction. However, before he even finished turning, he started as a redheaded demon was not two inches away from his face with his arms folded and a smirk.

“Boo.”

“You must be Brat.”

“Brat? Who are you calling brat! I am way older than you pup.”

“The codename, your codename? At least, that was the one Inu-”

“Never mind. It figures that dumb dog would be that mean. I should

have figured when yours was Rosie, though I can see why.”

{I'll kill the fucker.}

[Patience Youko. Koenma needs to see him.]

Katomaru carried the light woman he had rescued. He shuddered from the thought of him, the proud son of a noble lord, having to resort to such foul trickery as sleeping powder, but its use was necessary in order to retrieve the girl and return her to her father with as little fuss as possible.

She had spent some time with her kidnapper, the vile hanyou, and, he had had no doubts that she would have been brainwashed, considering the innocence with which the servant, Jaken, had attributed her.

He had to admit, she was beautiful, but he was not sure this arranged marriage was something good for him.

No, that didn't matter. What mattered was that it would be good for his people. He could learn to love this girl. After all, that was what his father had done.

This union would benefit his people. For them, he would do anything.

It was too bad he was carrying the other woman Sesshoumaru loved.

“Rin?”

Rin tried to hurriedly finish chewing the chunk of pizza in her mouth to not keep Kazuma waiting. They both chuckled at the trouble her mouth was having swallowing the bite.

“Yes Kazuma?”

Kuwabara suddenly looked at his hands and tried to find the words he needed. He swallowed as he tried to calm his nerves and gather his wits. He would need them to ask her this extremely important question. A question that, depending on her answer, could change both of their lives forever. However, they were interrupted.

“Kuwabara!” yelled Yusuke running up the hill. “Kuwabara! You gotta help me! Kagome's been kidnapped. We gotta find her.”

“What the hell are you talking about!? What do you mean kidnapped!?”

“Some demon knocked me out and took her. We gotta go to Koenma!”

“Alright,” Kazuma conceded. “Let's go.”

His question would have to wait for tomorrow.

The house had been bustling with busy servants preparing for the return of their dear Lady Rin's return. She had been gone for over a month. With her absence came the even more unwelcome temperament their Lord plagued them with before Rin's appearance.

They would be glad when she returned, and their Lord ceased his exceedingly horrid mood swings.

Also, the wolf would leave as well. Having to accommodate the wants of two domineering egomaniacs was not a pleasant task for the castle's workforce, but they had survived.

The wolf's son would be bringing their Lady home any moment. And, within a few days, the long awaited wedding would take place.

Just then, the tall hall door opened.

In walked the expected demon with a young lady over his shoulder. Her hair was hanging, covering her face.

“Young man!” cried the vertically challenged, yet overconfident Jaken, who was walking down the palace steps to where his lord and the wolf were standing. “That is NOT the way to carry a lady! Put her down this instant.”

None of the demons noticed the rousing of the girl in question.

“Kato, as much as I hate to admit it, the toad is right. You do not lug a girl you intend to marry around like that. For heaven's sake! You can see her pink and brown striped underwear.”

“Why not?” asked the girl as she started to rise up, giving the wolf an unobstructed view of her face. “You've carried me around like this. And what's wrong with my underwear! I got it on sale at Victoria's Secret. Why am I asking you? It's none of your business.”

“It...it can't be,” Kouga claimed in utter disbelief.

“Kouga, is this your son? I thought I recognized that butt.”

“Kagome!” Then, Kouga ran toward the girl and hugged her. “I can't believe it's you. I thought you were dead. You just disappeared. What happened?”

The girl pulled away from the overzealous Kouga and replied, “It's a long story, and your son just kidnapped me. Let me have something to drink first.”

Sesshoumaru was stunned. Maybe one of the kamis did like him. She was here. And, that WOLF was hugging her. “Hello, Kagome.”

“Was this planned?”

“No.” cried Jaken. “We were expecting the Lady Rin. She's still out there with who knows what happening to her! You must go back, Katomaru!”

“Rin?”

“Yes!” cried the frustrated caretaker. “The Lord's young daughter.”

“Well,” replied Kagome. “If I recall, she isn't all that young. She must be about four-hundred-fifty-something years old. I'll have to ask her later.”

“What do you mean, Kagome.” The question posed by Kouga was one on everyone's tongue.

“I saw her yesterday. She was perfectly fine.”

“Fine! She was kidnapped by a vile hanyou.”

“You mean Shuuichi? No, she wasn't. My brother was there. He told me they saved her from a creature who was trying to eat her. His name was...wait. Give me a second. He was a giant gerbil named...Ryoukan! That was it!”
