Chapter 1: New Man Of The House

"Inuyasha you shouldn't get so upset, I'm only going home for a week. I have to catch up on my homework and I have missed a couple tests," Kagome persisted. Once again Kagome and Inuyasha were debating about if Kagome was living or not.

"We have jewel shards to collect, damn it wench!" Inuyasha yelled into her face.

Now Kagome was mad. "Inuyasha…sit!" While Inuyasha was lying in a hole carved out by the force of his fall, Kagome ran to the well and yelling back her goodbyes to her friends, Shippo, Miroku and Sango.

When she reached the well she heard Inuyasha hot on her trail. No time to waste, she dived in head first into the well. Immediately when she landed on her head on the bottom of the well she put a spell on the well preventing Inuyasha from passing through.

"Ow, that hurt," Kagome mumbled while rubbing her head. Smart idea Kagome, jumping into the well head first. You could have split your head opened, she thought, berated herself for her stupidity. When she climbed out of the well she quickly ran into the house eager to see her family since she hadn't seen them for two weeks.

Kagome walked into the house and yelled out to her family, "Hey, I'm home anybody here? Mom, Sota, Grandpa?"

The house was silent. No sound reached her ears meaning her family was not home. I guess I'm alone till they get home, Kagome mused. She dropped her yellow bag on the floor and took off her shoes. Immediately after she put her shoes down she felt her stomach growl from hunger. I guess I'm hungry. Kagome jogged into the kitchen to get a bite to eat.

While watching television and eating a sandwich the door opened and in came her mother and brother.

"Hey you guys. Where were you?" Kagome asked.

Her mother saw her daughter and immediately ran to her and hugged her .Her brother quickly hugged her after her mother and ran up to his room. "Your home! Oh I was so worried about you. Why were you gone for so long? You know your friends have been questioning me about you. Your grandfather is running out of illnesses so he's at the library right now finding a book on illnesses…" she was interpreted by her daughter.

"Whoa mom, slow down. I'm fine as you can see. I will be home for a week or so ok?"

Seiko (I think that's Kagome's mother's name) replied happily, "Of course it's ok darling. Oh I have so much to tell you".

"Like what?" Kagome inquired. "Honey, can you sit down?" Seiko asked hesitantly.

"Um sure," Kagome answered apprehensively, "Ok I'm sitting. What did you want to say mom?"

"Well honey while you were gone I met somebody." Kagome held her breath. "His name is Kento Hensume. He is a fine man, Kagome. He is all I have ever dreamed of. Do you understand?" Ms. Higurashi told her daughter while eying her reaction. First it was evident that she would be surprised, and then there was disappointment but quickly it change to genuine happiness directed to her mother.

"I'm so happy for you. He must be a great catch if he snagged you. You are going to have to tell me everything about him and don't leave anything out," Kagome replied enthusiastically. She was disappointed that a man is going to enter her life but her mother deserved happiness.

After the two chatted for a bit about how they spent the two weeks, Kagome walked up the stairs to her bedroom for a long sleep and also to process all the information she was received today. Hmm I wonder how he is, Kagome questioned. She got dressed into her pajamas and slid into her bed. Then she remembered Inuyasha. Oh he's going to be pissed when he sees me. I'll be lucky if I leave Sengoku Jidai in a month. She quickly fell asleep after thinking a little more about Inuyasha and his stubbornness.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

Kagome woke up the next day relaxed and ready for anything. She heard a knock on the door so she yelled for the person to come in. "Hey sis, you've got to see my new Playstation 2. It's so awesome. Guess who got it for me. Kento, he's the greatest. He's down stairs right now. Oh yeah mom told me to tell you to get dress and to go and meet him," Sota quickly said, and then tried to catch his breath.

"Ok Sota I'm gonna get ready, and you better let me try out the Playstation 2 or else, "Kagome laughed when she saw her brother roll his eyes.

Kagome kicked her brother out of her room and quickly got dressed in a skirt and a tank top because it was steaming hot that morning. She descended the stairs to be greeted by two people kissing at the bottom of the staircase. When her mother heard someone coming down the stairs she quickly pulled away from the passionate kiss and blushed.

"Oh mother could you not find a more appropriate place to do that," Kagome giggled when she saw her mother blush even more.

Kagome turned to the man her mother was plastered to. He was quite tall and very muscular. He had the indifferent mask that she usually saw on Sesshomaru. He had intense green eyes that seemed to freeze Kagome to the spot. He had shoulder length black hair pulled back into a ponytail. He had the presence of Sesshomaru and an aura like Naruku's. When Kagome was about to get a better look at him he suddenly changed his whole expression to a happy smile and his eyes seem to twinkle. For some reason the look seem to be forced. Kagome looked over to where her mother was. She was looking up lovingly to the man before her.

"Oh sweaty, would you come into the kitchen to have breakfast with me?" Seito asked sweetly.

"Yes I am rather hungry," Kento chuckled and taking Seito's hand into his while leading them into the kitchen.

Kagome paused for a minute. She couldn't have seen what she thought she saw. Ahh I'm probably imagining things. I spend too much time in the feudal era.

She ran after the happy couple into the kitchen. Kagome saw Kento sitting in her fathers place and for some reason it made her slightly angry at the man. I shouldn't be angry. Father is long gone and mama needs to move on.

She sat in her usual spot across from Kento. "So little lady what can you tell me about yourself?" Kento asked.

"Well I'm just a normal teenage girl. What is there more to say," Kagome answered nervously.

"Seito has told me so much about you. She told me you practice archery. Is that correct?" Kento continued with his questions.

Kagome was startled that her mother would say that to anybody. She looked over to her mother with a questioning gaze. Her mother gestured for her to answer, "Well I guess, but I'm not all that good". Kagome just wanted to stop talking about this to a man that she hardly knew.

"Oh, I see maybe sometime you can show me your moves," Kento persisted and the look he sent her meant that this was not a request, but a demand. But the look quickly changed back to a smile.

Kagome didn't know what to think but answered, "Um maybe." He seemed to be pleased with the answer and quickly went to eating his breakfast.

"Kagome pass me the salt," Sota demanded but not meanly.

"Get it yourself. It's closer to you then it is to me." Kagome said back. Then all of a sudden she heard a firm demand come from across the table.

"You will give your brother the salt Kagome." It was Kento. It really surprised her that he would demand something like a father would do.

"He can get it himself. He won't die getting of his butt," Kagome smirked to her brother still feeling uneasy and he smirked back.

"I said you will give him the salt you are the woman at the table and you should serve the men," Kento sneered. Kagome looked around the table but nobody seems to notice Kento's tone or take much notice to what he said.

"Dear just give your brother the salt," Seito said to her daughter oblivious to the hurt look in her daughters eyes. Kagome handed her brother the salt receive a truimphent smile from her brother.

"Now was that so hard Kagome? Sit down and finish your breakfast," Kento said sarcastically and inwardly chuckling at her fierce glare he was receiving from her. Kagome sat down and finished eating quickly without a word.

Kagome picked up her plate and went to wash her dish. "Kagome, did you ask to be able to be excused from the table?" Kento questioned flashing an innocent smile to her.

"No, but…" Kagome was about to say but Kento interrupted, "I thought so. It is impolite to leave the table unexcused."

When Kagome sent her mother an angry questioning look her mother said, "Kento's right honey."

Kagome was now royally pissed off. How could he just walk into the house and start acting like he belonged. He was the guest but he was treating her like his disobedient daughter. She sucked up all the insults she was about to through at him and said rather sternly, "Can I be excused from the table?"

"Of course honey. I'm just thinking we need to pick up some manners," her mother told her rather pleadingly not to loose her temper.

Kagome washed her dishes and went into the family room to ease her temper that was flaring up, directed towards the man in the kitchen. She turned on the television to occupy the time before the rest of her family entered. Kagome was watching "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" when she saw Kento enter the room. She heard her brother then yell out about trying out his Playstation 2.

Kento sat down beside her and looked forward at the television. Kagome tried to keep her eyes on the television because if she turned around to look at the man sitting next to her she thought she would throttle him.

Then he spoke, "Your mother was telling me how worried she is about you and your grades. You have seemed to be missing a lot of school lately because of being sick."

Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her mother told a man she only knew for two weeks about her personal business. "Yeah I guess. What does this have to do with you," Kagome instantly put up a defensive guard.

"I am only worried about your future. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you," he seemed to be implying something but she couldn't understand what.

"Ok thanks for asking," Kagome stood up and walked to the kitchen where her mother was washing the dishes.

Kagome stepped into the kitchen and instantly Seito could tell her daughter was upset and angry, "What is it dear? Did something happen?"

Kagome was furious with her mother. How could she tell the man something like that?What made it worse it seemed that the man was practically laughing at her when he saw her surprised look. "Momma why did you tell Mr. Hensume about me not going to school and my falling grades because I am `sick'?" Kagome asked harshly.

"Well dear I needed to tell somebody of my worries and he is the perfect person to tell since I am in a relationship with him," Her mother answered knowingly.

"Mom, how could you tell him? You know that people can't find out about what I do, finding the Shikon jewel shards and all," Kagome persisted.

"Kento is only worried about you. You should be glad he's trying to make an effort of getting to know you," Seito explained to her daughter.

Kagome got angry now, "I don't even know him. To add, you hardly know him either. You've only were seeing him for two weeks. In a two week span, you can't really get to now someone very well," Kagome was about to add more but she cut herself off when she saw her mother twisting the drying cloth nervously.

"Umm dear, I haven't been perfectly honest with you. I have been seeing Kento for about six months."

Kagome couldn't believe her.Her mother kept this from mefor so long?I thought she told me everything?Apparently not. "Mom, why did you keep this from me?" now Kagome was defiantly angry at both her mother and Kento.

"Well when you were off in the Feudal Era I would be with him. I kept it from you because I wasn't sure if he was the right man for me but know I am almost positive he his," her mother had a far away look in her eyes and a smile appeared on her face. Kagome didn't know what to say so she left her mother to daydream.

The rest of the day got worse every second. Mr. Hensume kept telling Kagome how to improve herself in her manners. He also would say sarcastic remarks towards how she played her brother's games on the Playstation. No one seemed to notice. This really upset Kagome. She couldn't tell anybody because everyone seemed to be in love with this horrible man.

By the end of the day Kagome was tired and in her bed. Kento had left. She wanted to tear something apart. More preferably to ring her mother's boyfriend's neck. She slowly fell asleep thinking. This Kentoseemed to take his position as man of the house rather quickly. How islife going to be with such an ass around all the time…?
