Chapter 14: Reintroductions & Introductions
 
The group was sitting around all chatting, laughing and reminiscing, talking about all their good and bad memories.
 
“Kami Sango! I would've thought that the houshi here would have given you at least a hundred kids by now!”
 
Sango blushed, “Well, we wanted to wait to be back in your life Kagome.” She took her best friends hand, “I wanted you to be involved… you are my sister Kagome. I wouldn't allow my children not to grow up without you.”
 
Kagome hugged her best friend tightly, “Sango, thank you.”
 
Backing out of her hug, Kagome looked at her friend, “Hey Sango where's Kirara anyway?”
 
InuYasha interrupted, “Alive and well. That neko has to be well over 1,700 years old.”
 
“Yeah, now she's just a lazy house cat!” Shippo laughed.
 
There was a rapid non-stop knocking at the door. Souta got up to answer it, his eyebrows knit, “Sis we expecting anyone?”
 
Kagome rushed up and got her katanas and got in fight stance, “No.”
 
Souta flung the door open in time to see a blur, “HIGURASHI-SENSEI!”
 
“Ai? AYYYE!” She was enveloped in a huge hug forced to drop the katanas on the floor.
 
Everyone sweat dropped, Shippo drooled.
 
“Ca-nt - Bre-athe. Ai…”
 
Releasing Kagome with a gasp, she giggled. “Oops. Um, why was I here? Oh yes! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIGURASHI-SENSEI!”
 
Kagome could only shake her head. “Have you been snorting pixie-stix?”
 
With the brightest smile on her face, Ai giggled, “NOPE! This is all natural!”
 
Kagome mumbled, “Yeah, that's the terrifying part.”
 
Clearing her throat she turned around and introduced her to the room, “Guys this is Ai, the miko I told you about.”
 
They all gave her a bow.
 
“Ai, this is InuYasha, my um....”
 
Ai gasped and bowed, then took his hand and shook it vigorously. “MATE?! I've heard so much about you!”
 
InuYasha couldn't help but smirk; “Really now?”
 
Kagome glared, he continued, “You'll have to tell me more Ai-chan…”
 
She blushed, “Nah-uh, it was girl stuff!”
 
Kagome rushed her off, with her own blush, glaring at a certain hanyou, to make the rest of the introductions, after Miroku's cut off question and a slap from Sango, of course.
 
Kagome ended introductions with an open mouthed Shippo, “Ai, this is my adoptive son, Shippo.” Ai blushed. Shippo blushed.
 
Kagome mentally rubbed her hands.'Perfect.' Apparently not all had changed with her.
 
Shippo was trying not to look like an idiot in front of the beauty in his presence. Ai was gorgeous. Sure she was quirky but, was beautiful none the less. She was about 20 years old. She had shoulder length, wavy chestnut colored hair and dark chocolate eyes. She was petite. 'Not that I mind, I never hit the growth spurt hard'
 
Getting over her embarrassment, she bowed. “I've heard much about you too Shippo-kun. Kagome really adores you.”
 
He looked at his mama and grinned. “Yeah, I pretty much adore her too.”
 
“Oh alright! Enough of that!” Kagome waved off.
 
Ai turned back to Kagome, “Sooo any special plans tonight Sensei?”
 
“Ai, Kagome is fine.” She looked around the room, “No, I was heading to my condo in the city.
 
“Great! Because, Chika and Norio want to go out to dinner to celebrate your 24th birthday!”
 
Giving in to the obvious defeat and looking at her companions, “Well…I…um?”
 
InuYasha stepped up and kissed her temple. “Have some fun tonight. We all need the fun.”
 
Kagome pouted, “How about we have dinner at my place? We're expecting a call Ai…”
 
Ai looked thoughtful for a moment and then her eyes widened in realization, “You're right! But Kagome, we can go out for dinner and if we get the call we'll book it out of there!”
 
Kagome looked at the wall clock and turned back to Ai, “What time and where did you guys want to meet up?”
 
Taking out her cell phone Ai dialed a number, “Chika, what time and where?”
 
No can do Ai. We just got a call that we need to be in a teleconference in 3 hours. Tell Kagome that Gonzalo is trying to confirm details before telling us anything. So get your asses here at 20-00hourssharp!
 
Separating the phone from her ear Ai grumbled, “Alright already Ms. Rowdy!” Closing the phone she looked at Kagome, “I'm assuming you heard.”
 
Kagome laughed, “Alright. Gives us time to get ready and meet up.”
 
Giving a quick `yipee' Ai hugged Kagome before dashing out the door. Shaking her head Kagome chuckled, “What will I do with that girl?”
 
 
--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+- -+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
 
Uncomfortable silence is the only thing that could describe the drive over to Kagome's condo. Neither, InuYasha or herself could think of anything to say. InuYasha obviously smelling the uncertainty and anxiety on her sparked up a conversation, “So… how did you learn to fight like that? How did you finally learn to use your powers? There aren't many mikos nowadays…”
 
Kagome turned her gaze towards him for a moment and then focused her gaze directly to the front. “After what happened, I became determined. I enrolled in gymnastics, any martial arts I could get my hands on and my powers…” She stayed silent for a moment before continuing, “Well, determination. I had it right there under my nose…I just never really put too much effort into it. I discovered just how much power I had when I confronted a youkai here for the very first time. He pissed me off and I accidentally turned him into ash.”
 
InuYasha looked over at her and then back at the road, “So that's why you use the cuffs? How did you manage to get a sword that can house your reiki?”
 
Kagome turned in her seat actually feeling the weight being removed from her chest. She thought that going over everything again would simply weigh her down. Apparently, she was never really able to freely speak to anyone… not like she had spoken to her friends from the past or InuYasha.
 
“Yeah, I read a lot of books that I found searching through jii-chans things and a lot of meditation, learned a couple of spells. It's kind of like your old beads of subjugation… only that my cuffs help restrain out of control power. There's a special word I use if I need them removed in the midst of a battle. About the sword, pretty much the same as my bow and arrows which I still use from time to time and sometimes bullets too.”
 
InuYasha raised an eyebrow at this, “Bullets?”
 
Kagome nodded her head, “Yeah. Enchanted bullets if you will. Normal bullets can hurt a youkai but, not kill them necessarily.”
 
He sighed and mumbled, “You've really been busy.”
 
She grasped the hand he rested over the shift and rubbed her thumb on it, “Yeah. Had to.”
 
They remained silent all the way to her place.
 
--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+- -+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
 
Once they arrived, InuYasha followed Kagome up to her condo. He was impressed. Apparently, she had done pretty well for herself.
 
“So I take it the club is doing well?” He said as they entered her apartment, removing his jacket.
 
Typical Kagome, everything was in its place and it was clean and homey.
 
She looked at him and nodded her head, “Yeah.” Furrowing her eyebrows at the distant look in his eyes, she approached him and looked up into his face.
 
It took him a moment to compose himself and look into her eyes. He said, “What?” sounding more harsh than intended.
 
She smiled sadly, “Although it's been five years I know when something is eating at you…spill it dog-boy.”
 
He snorted and looked away, “Nothing is wrong with me.”
 
She crossed her arms and glared at him, “InuYasha
 
Glaring at her, he offered a smirk, “Can't `sit' me anymore wench”
 
And as soon as he had said it, he had regretted it. She looked like she had been slapped.
 
`Just a reminder of something else thatno longertiedthem together.Good goingdumbass.'
 
She turned away attempting to hide her hurt, but her smell was clear. “I'm going to take a bath.” She walked off into what he could assume from the scent was her room. Once she had closed the door, he rubbed a hand over his face.
 
`It's like she doesn't really need me anymore.'
 
`You're an idiot.'
 
`Here we go again….'
 
`Our mate does need us… were you even in the same room when she told you what happened?And did your nose temporarily go on hiatus?Because I know I smelled `need' when we were in her room…'
 
`He's right you know. Do not start with the assumptions unless you want to lose her before you get her back.'
 
`You should be proud of having a strong mate.'
 
`Keh. Bastards.'
 
He got up and made his way to Kagome.
 
--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+- -+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
 
Kagome sunk herself lower into her bathtub, trying to relax her mind and not let what InuYasha had said get to her.
 
`What's his problem? He's still as bi-polar as ever!'
 
Gathering water with her hands, she splashed it over her face and laid her head back. She was beginning to relax when she felt a sudden cold breeze waft over her face. Keeping her eyes closed, she reached under the towel she had near and put her hand on the dagger she kept there.
 
“Calm down wench it's me.”
 
Snapping her eyes open, she crossed her arms over her chest, “InuYasha! What are you doing in here?!”
 
He sat on the edge of the bathtub but did not look at her, “I said something hurtful in the living room before and…” He sighed, “I wanted to apologize.”
 
The glare died and she softened her eyes, “It's fine Inu—“
 
“And…” he interrupted her, “I wanted to tell you what was bothering me.”
 
Kagome remained silent and looked at him. Trying to contain the surprise that he had in fact changed… a lot. It was never easy to get him to spill his guts… at least… never this quickly. Not without a lot of `SITS' or nagging on her part.
 
He lowered himself next to the bathtub to be at eyelevel with her. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. “After what I've seen you are capable of…and knowing how much you have accomplished… personally and professionally…I just felt that maybe…”
 
“I wouldn't need you anymore.” She finished for him. He nodded.
 
“Baka”
 
He glared at her and was about to talk or yell but, she held a hand to his mouth, “I'll always need you.”
 
He leaned over the tub and gave her a quick kiss. Huskily he added, “Do you need someone to wash your back?”
 
He ducked from the flying loofah that was aimed for his head.
 
“Get out! We'll never make it anywhere if you wash my back!”
 
He started laughing and walked out of the bathroom with a new bounce in his step.
--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+- -+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
 
InuYasha waited while Kagome got ready. Looking around her place, he found that she had many pictures of her friends, her family, even them when she used to take her camera to the feudal era.
 
He walked up to one where he looked, as usual, irate because she was tweaking his ears and she was giggling. He smiled at the memory.
 
Looking at his watch, he huffed out in impatience and turned to go knock on Kagome's door.
 
“Keh. Women! Why do they always—“
 
His statement was cut off as soon as he eyed his mate.
 
She stood by her bedroom door dressed in a white buttoned up ruffle sleeved blouse that was unbuttoned showing the right amount of cleavage, low riding dark blue skinny jeans with a pair of silver ballet flats.
 
The only makeup was lip gloss and mascara that only made her eyes more dramatic. She wore small diamond stud in her ears and as simple as she looked, kami help him, it took everything not to take her right there.
 
She rubbed her palms on her jeans nervously, InuYasha followed her hands movements. For a moment, he had actually become jealous of her hands… wishing it were his running over her curves.
 
She shook him out of his daydream when she looked at him expectantly, “Huh?”
 
She raised an eyebrow at him, “I said, do I look ok?”
 
He approached her and held her shoulders; with the shoes she was wearing they were almost eye to eye. “No you don't look ok.”
 
She opened her mouth to respond and looked at him hurt.
 
He smiled, “You never look ok. You always look beautiful.”
 
She chuckled, “Oh? So now you became a smooth talker too? You've been hanging around Miroku too long.”
 
InuYasha grabbed her waist, “Keh, let's go”
 
With a smirk, InuYasha leaned into her ear and whispered seductively, “It may be your birthday koishii but tonight, I'll be the one unwrapping presents…”
 
`Do I have to go anywhere?' She mentally groaned, accompanied with a shiver.

Club Sanctuary…
 
The reunited group walked into the club almost an hour later. It was due to open within the next hour and a half. Ai bounced in and started dancing up to a tall and definitely gorgeous man.
 
Shippo could be heard growling which earned an amused stare from his pack.
 
Kagome chuckled and wanted to wipe that smug look off her mates face.
 
She too walked (more like strutted) up to the demi-god of a man and kissed him on the cheek. Norio was pure man/god.
 
6'4”, athletic build, jet black hair and eyes so dark they seemed black. Impeccable style, brains, manners, sex appeal and all out warrior when need be? Yeah.
 
`Damn fine man', all three girls present thought.
 
Turning back to the group, Kagome smirked, especially at her fuming mate.
 
`Seemslike he'sfinallylearned to keep control.'
 
She cleared her throat, “Everyone this is Norio. Norio, this is Sango, my best friend, Miroku a brother of sorts, Shippo my son and my … um…InuYasha.”
 
He gave a deep bow, “Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you all at last.”
 
Sango having hung around a lecherous Miroku for 509 years was drooling and strutting up to the man. Miroku, having hung around InuYasha for that same amount of time, growled and yanked on his wife.
 
Kagome laughed, “Lecherous Sango, who would have thought…?” Norio offered a tiny smug smile.
 
Stepping back to her angered hanyou, she linked her arms with his and led them all to the bar.
 
As soon as they sat, they heard a loud crash and a guy literally flying in their general location, followed by a tiny, petite, dark browned hair, hazel eyed female.
 
“HENTAI!” She scoffed, “Michio my ass! Strength of three thousand men?! HAH! You're parents must have been humorous!”
 
“OI!”
 
Said girl turned in their direction and had the decency to blush, immediately she bowed, “Gomen-nasai, Higurashi-Sempai.”
 
Kagome couldn't hold it, she chuckled seeing her team-mate, and friend, Chika the martial arts expert, twisting her hands and scuffling her feet like a little schoolgirl.
 
Kagome pointed at the man on the floor with an upraised eyebrow.
 
Chika looked up and offered a cheeky grin and then remembered the guy she threw. She whirled around and glared at him.
 
“Get out! If I see you anytime in this decade I will make sure you need a catheter to piss from the rest of your life!”
 
All that was left of the man was his dust trail.
 
Sango chuckled and leaned into Kagome, “That must be Chika.”
 
With apparent pride Kagome said, “Yeah, sure is. See what I meant Houshi…?
 
All the men gulped and paled, with the exception of Souta who was blushing.
 
Chika walked up to Kagome and gave her a hug, “Happy Birthday boss lady!” She pulled back and looked at her boss, “Well well, aren't we looking mighty hot?”
 
Kagome smiled awkwardly, “You don't look too bad either there Chika.”
 
Chika was wearing a black leather miniskirt, with a black off the shoulder sweater and black leather knee high boots. Her pixie cut with bright red cunks was done messier than ever and her makeup was minimal.
 
In Souta's eyes, she could not be any more gorgeous.
 
Kagome introduced her to the rest of the group and Souta approached Chika… cautiously, “Hey Chi”
 
“Ka.”
 
“Eh?”
 
“Souta, its Chi-ka.”
 
He flushed embarrassingly. `Dammit I only wanted to be friendly…'
 
Seeing his frustrated look, Chika softened. There was something about Kagome's brother that warmed her.
 
She smiled a bright genuine smile at him, “S'ok. No harm done.” Before she knew what she was doing she kissed him on the cheek.
 
They both blushed a nice crimson red.
 
Chika hurried behind the bar, “Anyone want anything to drink?”
 
Nodding her head, Kagome replied, “White wine please.”
 
“Brother.”
 
Everyone turned around to see a very tall, stoic handsome middle-aged looking man.
 
“Keh. Sesshomaru.”
 
Kagome sputtered. `Sesshomaru? Holy Kami, does every member of this family look good in human and demon form?'
 
Sesshomaru turned to Kagome. “Happy Birthday Mi—.”
 
Before he could finish that thought he was jabbed by his much shorter beautiful mate. “KAGOME-CHAN!!!!!!!!!”
 
The next moment Kagome was wrapped in a tight hug. `Can no one hug me tenderly today?!'
 
Struggling to breathe, “Hi Rin.”
 
She smiled, “You look amazing!”
 
Kagome blushed and gave her thanks under her breathe. Rin sat with the women and started chatting away.
 
Sesshomaru sighed. InuYasha smirked, “I'll never know how you mated someone so bright and happy. To top it off, you're daughter is also nothing like you. Speaking of, is my beautiful niece Maemi coming?”
 
The ice lord couldn't help but soften is gaze, “Ile, she can't come tonight but, we shall have a dinner soon to introduce her to your mate.”
 
Kagome's cell phone rang and she answered it on speaker, “Higurashi.”
 
Everyone turned silent.
 
“Hola Gonzalo, como estas?” [Hi Gonzalo, How are you?]
 
“Muy bien Señorita Kagome, la llamaba porquetenemos algunos adelantos acá en España que creo que le interesaría.” [Very well Miss Kagome. I was calling you because we have some leads here in Spain that I believe are of interest to you.]
 
Kagome sat up straighter, “¿Cómo cuales?” [Such as?]
 
InuYasha looked on in interest. `Since when does she speak Spanish?'
 
“Últimamente ha habido mucha actividad rara y le puedo decir con toda confianza que creo con son de el sujetó que usted esta investigado. [Lately there has been a lot of strange activity and I can tell you with all confidence that it has to do with the subject you are investigating.]
 
Kagome thought for a moment, “¿Usted puede preparar todo para nosotros llegar haya mañana temprano?” [Can you have everything ready for us to arrive early tomorrow?]
 
“Con mil gustos Señorita. Todo estará listo para su llegada.” [With all my pleasure Miss. Everything will be prepared for your arrival.]
 
“Gracias Gonzalo” [Thank you] Kagome hung up her phone and looked at everyone in the group. “What?”
 
Miroku spoke up, “That was extremely -“ (BOP!)
 
Sango glared at him, “You better not.”
 
Chika chuckled and pointed at Sango, “I love her.”
 
InuYasha had heard the conversation and being around for centuries knew many languages but, still, he wanted to see how much she was willing to trust them and share, “So? Was that the important call you were waiting for and what happened?”
 
She recapped her conversation and then turned to Norio. “Do you think you can arrange flights to Madrid?”
 
InuYasha keh'd. “No need. I have a plane.”
 
She looked at him anxiously, “You don't have to InuYasha…really. You guys…” She looked at all her friends, “have your own lives.”
 
Sango stood one hand on her hip and another pointing at Kagome, “We're here because we needed to be here to help you. So suit up, listen up and shut up.”
 
InuYasha smiled, “Well said.”
 
Kagome got teary eyed and whispered, “I'm really not alone anymore…”
 
Realizing by the looks on everyone's face she blushed, “Did I just say that outloud?”
 
Miroku got an idea. “Kagome, Sango and I have some things to do first thing in the morning but, we can meet you in Madrid tomorrow early afternoon…” Turning to the rest of the table, “We can give you guys a ride tomorrow. Kagome and InuYasha can go ahead of us and get the details.”
 
Everyone agreed. Kagome was suspicious. “What are you up to monk?”
 
Feigning his infamous innocence, “Whatever do you mean? I also figured two planes on hand would be better, in case.”
 
InuYasha made a mental note to thank Miroku later.
 
Sesshomaru spoke up, “Miko…” Gaining another elbow in the gut from his mate, “Kagome… we will also be assisting in any way needed. Actually, our daughter is currently in London which is why she could not attend dinner tonight but, she would be happy to assist if need be.”
 
Kagome bowed her head, “Thank you.”
 
InuYasha stood from the table and extended his hand to Kagome, “Come on, we need to stop by your place get some stuff.”
 
She furrowed her brow, “How about yours?”
 
“Keh. Consider it done.”
