Chapter 13

As soon as everyone was done eating, Kaiya brought up the fact that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to take the limos to the shrine.

“I wasn't planning on it,” Inu told her. “I was going to take my mustang.”

Kaiya pouted. “Can I go with you? I love that thing.”

Inu grinned. “Sure, why not. And I suppose you'll want to come with us too, Shippo?”

Shippo grinned. “Only if you let me drive!”

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. “Like I'd let you dive my baby. I didn't let you when I first got it or since. I'm not about to let you now.”

Shippo snapped his fingers as he said, “Damn. Can't hurt a guy for trying.”

Kagome smiled. “You can still ride in it with us. Though I really don't see what the big deal is.”

Inu, Kaiya, Toki, and Shippo all had a shocked looked on their faces.

“How can you say that?” Inu asked. “I put my heart and soul into that car.”

Kagome shrugged. “I haven't seen the thing, now have I?”

Miroku laughed. “Just wait. You'll love the thing as much as the rest of us. It's a shame he won't let anyone else drive it.”

Inu grinned and grabbed his keys off the counter in the hall. The other's followed to get some vehicles of their own, and to see Kagome's reaction. When they got to the garage, Kagome let out a gasp. Sitting there were dozens and dozens of cars.

“We've been collecting since the first time cars came out,” Sess told her. “Every once an a while we even sell one. I still miss that first car we ever got. But we were offered a lot of money for it, and Inu thought it would be good to get rid of it for the room.”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “Get over it. That was what? 50 years ago?”

“Which one is this famous mustang?” Kagome asked.

Inuyasha grinned and pointed to a cherry red car. Kagome gasped again. It was a 1966 convertible. She was in love.

“Wow,” was the only thing she could think of to say. She slowly made her way over to the car and placed her hand delicately on the hood.

“You should see the extra's Inu added,” Toki said. “Oh! And if Shippo doesn't want that ride, I'm more then willing to take his spot!”

Shippo laughed and smack his friend on the back. “Nice try.”

“So are we going to go to the shrine or what?” Sango asked. She had always wanted to see the place that her dear friend grew up, but they had made a decision along time ago to never go there. They would wait until Kagome herself could take them.

Inu smiled and said, “Then let's go,” and handed his keys to Kagome and got into the passengers side of the mustang. Everyone let out a gasp of their own.

“You've got to be kidding me!” Koga said. “Mutt Face is letting some one else drive his baby??”

Inuyasha just shrugged. “I remember her telling me that she got her divers when she was 16. And I trust her.”

“Sure, you trust her,” Shippo pouted as he got into the back of the car, “but your own son doesn't even get to drive it.”

Inu turned and smacked him. “She's my mate, dumb ass. She gets more privileges then you.”

Kagome just smiled and shook her head. “I really don't feel comfortable driving your car Inu. It's too important to you. What if I crash it?” she tried to give the keys back, but Inu wouldn't take them.

“You crash it, I'll rebuild it. It's not like that hasn't happened before.”

“Ooo!” Rin said. “I remember that! Some idiot teenager got you good. You griped for a week about the incident. Then when you found out the kid was drunk and that it wasn`t the first time, you went over to his place and reamed his parents out about being irresponsible, and took them to court.”

“Hey,” Inu said. “They were dumb enough to let him out of the house like that. It's not like it hurt them. They're rich.”

Kagome frowned as she got into the car. “How long ago was this?”

“Umm.. A year or two ago,” Shippo told her as Kaiya got into the back.

“I heard about that! The parents were pissed that you'd sue them! They kept asking what a billionaire like you would need with the money. And they said that it wasn`t fair of you to ruin his life by pressing charges when no one was hurt.”

Inu shrugged. “It wasn't a matter of money. It's was about teaching them all a lesson. The kid was so spoilt he got away with doing drugs and dinking all the time. His parents would just buy his way out of any trouble he would get into. I just made sure they couldn't buy his way out of this one. And the only reason no one was hurt was thanks to my being a hanyou. I was able to use my reflexes to stop myself from being hurt, and get the kid out of his car before it exploded.”

“Aww,” Kagome said as she leaned over and gave him a hug. “My hero. I knew you were nice deep down, saving a kid like that after he was the one to crash into you.”

“Keh,” was all Inu said as he crossed his arms an looked the other way. But the other's caught the grin on his face.

“Let's get going already!” Koga said. Then he jumped into a green Jeep and started the engine as Ayame, Sango and Miroku got in.

Kagome smiled and started Inu's car. It purred, and she smiled. She hadn't driven in a while. She was going to enjoy this.

Soon she drove out and had the Jeep and a silver 1994 DB7 Aston Martin following behind her.

“Sess sure has a nice car,” Kagome said.

Inu smiled. “It's his baby. Like this one's mine. But remember, we're going out into public. You need to use our other names.”

Kaiya leaned in between the front seats. “Then don't you think you should put your necklace on?”

“Shit! I left it on the night stand!”

Kagome smiled and put her hand into her purse. “I picked it up before we left.”

She pulled the Shikon no Tama out and handed it to her mate. He smiled in thanks and put it on. Immediately all of his youkia features disappeared.

Kagome looked in the rear view mirror at Shippo and said, “You need to put yours on too. We'll be there sooner then you'd think.”

Shippo smiled and took out the silver hoop, and soon had his golden one in.

“I'll call the other's to let them know to put theirs on,” Inu said.

He pulled out a cell phone from his pocket and started to dial. Soon someone picked up on the other line. Thanks to their Hanyou hearing, the other's could hear the other side of the conversation too.

“Hello?” it was Ayame.

“Hana, you and Akira need to get your anchors on. We'll be at the shrine soon.”

“Kay,” she said and hung up.

Inu just hung up then started to dial again.

“Hello?” this time it was Rin.

“Hey Akiko. I need you to get Kin to put his anchor on. We'll be there soon.”

“No prob. I can't wait to meet Kagome's family. They sounded nice from all the stories you used to tell me about them.”

“They are.”

You could make out Rin telling Sess to put his anchor on.

“No, I'll do it when we get there,” he told her.

Rin growled. “You'll do it now!”

Sess eeped, and you could hear some rustling in the background, then Rin said, “Good Fluffy!”

Inu laughed. “Akiko, you're one in a million!”

Rin laughed. “I know.”

The two then said good bye, and hung up. It wasn't long after that they were at the shrine. Kagome parked in front of the steps, and got out of the car. She made her way over to Inu's side as he got out and the other's pulled up behind them. Soon everyone was out of the cars and were making their way up all he stairs.

Inu put his arm around Kagome's waist.

“Nervous?” he asked.

She gave him a small smile and said, “A little. I mean, how do I tell her that we've mated, that we want to get married, and that I'll be moving in with you in two weeks? Not to mention that you're still alive.”

“I'll be right there with you,” he told her as he gave her a small hug. “But it might be better if you go in there by yourself at first and let them know that I'm still around.”

Kagome smiled as they walked past the God tree. “Why don't you and the other's wait here and I'll run in quickly. If you hear Mama scream in joy, you'll know that as your queue to come in. But we'll wait to introduce the other's until after we've told them everything.”

“No prob.”

Kagome gave Inu a kiss, and walked towards the house. Just as she was reaching for the door handle, she heard Kaiya ask if this was the tree Inu had been pinned to. Kagome smiled and opened the door.

“Mama? I'm home!”

Mrs. Higurashi poked her head out of the kitchen with a smile.

“I wasn't expecting you this weekend sweetie. But it's good to see you. Why don't you come into the kitchen and I'll make you lunch.”

Kagome took off her shoes and stepped into the kitchen.

“I just had a big breakfast Mama. I'm not hungry. But if you wouldn't mind calling Sota and Jii-chan, I'll tell you why I came over.”

“Sure sweetie, not a problem. Sota! Jii-chan! Kagome's here and she wants to tell us all something!”

Soon Kagome heard two people running down the stairs. Before long, she was getting a group hug from her brother and grandfather.

When they were done with that they sat down at the table with her. Then her mother sat down and looked expectantly at her daughter.

“What did you want to tell us honey?”

“Umm,” Kagome wasn't sure how to tell them, so she decided to just blurt it out. But before she could, she heard a song from up stairs. When she realized it was one of Inu's songs, she couldn't help but stop to listen. ((The bracket's are Sess if you're wondering.))

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it

The number one question is how could you ignore it

We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks

With raps that got you backing this up like

Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm

Rise from the ashes of stylistic division

With these non-stop lyrics of life living

Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven

But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that

So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt

And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt

It goes

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)

Told you everything loud and clear

(But nobody's listening)

(Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me)

Told you everything loud and clear

(But nobody's listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress

Handful of anger, held in my chest

And everything left's a waste of time

I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more

I'm riding on the back of this pressure

Guessing that it's better I can't keep myself together

Because all of this stress gave me something to write on

The pain gave me something I could set my sights on

Never forget the blood sweat and tears

The uphill struggle over years the fear and

Trash talking and the people it was to

And the people that started it just like you

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)

Told you everything loud and clear

(But nobody's listening)

(Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me)

Told you everything loud and clear

(But nobody's listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress

Handful of anger, held in my chest

Uphill struggle

Blood sweat and tears

Nothing to gain

Everything to fear

Heart full of pain, head full of stress

Handful of anger, held in my chest

Uphill struggle

Blood sweat and tears

Nothing to gain

Everything to fear

Heart full of pain

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)

Told you everything loud and clear

(But nobody's listening)

(Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me)

Told you everything loud and clear

(But nobody's listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress

(Nobody's listening)

Handful of anger, held in my chest

(Nobody's listening)

Uphill struggle

Blood, sweat and tears

(Nobody's listening)

Nothing to gain

Everything to fear

(Nobody's listening)

Coming at you from every side

“Where did you get that song from Sota?”

He grinned at her. “You left the CD out when you were here last, and I liked it so much that I taped it. You don't mind do you?”

Kagome shook her head no. “But the group is part of the reason I'm here. I went to their first live performance last night with Toki and Kaiya.”

“Those are the friends you met at college right?” her mother asked.

“Yes, Mama. Any way. I got quite the shock when I saw who was in the band. You may not believe me, but the lead singer is Inuyasha.”

The three family members just gave Kagome a look of shock. Then the expected excited scream came from Mrs. Higurashi. Then she ran and hugged her daughter.

“When do we get to see him?” Sota asked.

“Right now, Pip squeak,” came from the doorway of the kitchen.

Sota turned and started to squeal when he saw his hero.

“Inu-nii-chan!”

Inu smiled. “I go by Juro now. I had to change my name a lot over the years.”

“Juro,” Mama said. “I like it!”

Inu blushed. “Thanks.”

He came in and sat down next to Kagome. “Did you tell them the rest, or only that I was still alive?”

“Just that you were alive.”

“The rest?” Jii-chan asked. “What else do you need to tell us?”

“Well,” Kagome started, but Inu interrupted.

“I've asked Kagome to marry me, she's said yes.”

Mrs. Higurashi jumped for joy and hugged her soon to be son-in-law. The other two had smiles on their faces.

“I can't wait! When's the wedding?” Mrs. H asked. “And where are you going to hold it? Oh! We have so much to plan!”

“We were thinking of holding it here, we`re not too sure when,” Kagome told her. “We only want the close family. And of course the people that Juro lives with.”

“Who are they?” Sota asked.

“They're all our old friends,” Inu answered.

“How is it you're in our time?” Jii-chan asked.

Inuyasha went on to explain the whole thing with the Shikon. He told how he had used it while he was grieving for Kaede, and whished for his pack to have his strengths. The family took it in stride.

“Hey!” Mrs. H said once he was finished. “I just noticed you don't have your cute little puppy ears! What happened to them?”

Inu smiled, but Kagome was the one to answer.

“They found a spell to hide youkia features. His anchor is the chain that holds the Shikon no Tama.” With that she took the necklace off.

Mrs. H shrieked with joy when she saw the puppy ears back in place on the top of his head.

“What's with all the yelling?” was heard from outside. Followed by, “And when are we going to be aloud to meet her family??”

“I guess we'd better let them in,” Inu said as he looked at Kagome.

“It might be a good idea,” was her reply.

The two went to the door and stepped out.

“You can come in now,” Kagome said.
