Getting to know you
* with Inu-gang *
"We almost have all the shards... " Kagome stated as they were walking to Kaede's hut. She sounded somewhat depressed. "Yes... all that's left are the ones Koga and Naraku posses." Sango said, also depressed. "And the one Kohaku has." Shippo put in his 2 cents. The girls nodded in unison. The other boys, Miroku and Inuyasha, were too deep in thought to notice the conversation. 'Kagome has gotten stronger and better control powers.' All Inuyasha thought was Kagome and Kikyo... how they seemed more similar than before. The only thing that bothered him was how young, smart, and mature Kagome was. She was a young mother to a young kitsune. Kikyo was never motherly, but more like a older sister, like Sango is to Kagome.
Shippo couldn't help but look at Inuyasha to see why he was so quiet. At first glance he knew that look in his eyes. He was comparing Kagome to Kikyo. And no matter what it always ended badly, though not as bad as when Kagome catches him with Kikyo. Shippo was starting to get upset that his mother was getting compared to a walking corpse.
"Kaasan!" Shippo decided to tell his mother what Inuyasha was thinking. He was sounding like 5 year old who saw someone take a cookie from the cookie jar when they weren't suppose to.
"Yes?"
"Inuyasha is comparing you to Kikyo!"
Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks. He didn't hear everything else, but he heard that. He knew something was gonna happen, something to punish him.
Kagome stopped as well and took her time thinking of a way to punish Inuyasha. After 2 minutes she decided. "Hey. How would you and Sango like to spend a week at my house in my time?" Kagome looked calm and acted like this was no big deal.
"Yeah!" Shippo screamed in delight.
"I would love to Kagome-chan." Sango replied, going along with Kagome's plan.
"What about me?" Miroku asked feeling left out as if they forgot him.
Kagome answered right away "You'll stay with Inuyasha of course. He needs some company." Miroku just sighed and nodded. He knew this was going to be a long week." What about you? Where are you going?" Miroku asked Kagome. "Home." And with that Kirara transformed into her bigger form to shorten the walk in half. the girls and Shippo got on and left.
"Inuyasha what are we going to do now?" Miroku couldn't help but wonder what the two would do without the girls, Kirara, and Shippo. "We wait. That's what we'll do, we'll wait." Inuyasha knew he screwed up and would suffer boredom, for a whole week. Kagome would keep track on time like she would when she put Shippo in time-out for foul language he picked up from Inuyasha.

"What'd ya want, toddler!?" Yusuke was busy playing video games and was so close to being number one. Koenma chose to ignore the last part. "Well you have another mission." He seemed calm wondering how they would react. "Thank you, captain obvious. Now what is the mission?" Yusuke cooled down after beating up Kuwabara up. "There have been some strange powerful energies at a shrine." Koenma stated.
"And we are to see who the cause is, correct?" Kurama finished. "Yes... and there is a faint feel of the Shikon no Tama with it."
The demons who were digesting the information were close to shock. "and what do we do when we find it...?" Yusuke questioned.
"Bring it here." was Koenma's response before they were forced through a portal, made by Botan and at a shrine(Kagome's shrine). This place seemed to be very familiar to Yusuke.
Just then they felt a strange power coming from a shed and went to investigate. They approached with caution. When they reached it the door opened reveling 2 girls, a cat demon, and a demon fox kit.
"KYAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" was Kagome's reaction. She wasn't expecting to find someone in her face when she opened the door. She backed up into Sango causing them both to fall in their backs. Shippo ran to them with worry written all over his face. "Kaasan, are you alright!?" Kirara mewed, worried as well.
The boys just stared at Kagome with amusement. Then it hit Yusuke. "K-Kagome?" Everybody stared at Yusuke with curiosity then at Kagome who was now sitting and looked like a child. Then realization hit her as fast as Inuyasha hitting the ground when she said sit.
"Yusuke!" Was all she said before he by her side seeing if she got hurt. Shippo, Sango, and Kirara had no idea what was going on, but Shippo was being protective over Kagome, who was his adopted mom. Until he let his curiosity get the better of him. "Kaasan, who is he?" She looked at him waiting for him to jump into her arms. So he jumped into the warm securing arms. She held him tightly, but not enough to hurt him. "He's family... my cousin to be exact." She unmasked her aura letting it free to envelope him making him feel safe. As he calmed down he looked at Yusuke checking him over. "He's a hanyou." He whispered shocked. That only caused Shippo to tighten his grip on Kagome's shirt. The Yu Yu gang stared in disbelief at Kagome. Yusuke was close to fainting and feeling very light headed. He couldn't believe the fact that his cousin, who was a girl, could have such a strong aura and a kid, a demon kid.
Sango was prepared for battle with Hirakotsu in hand and Kirara by her side(huge form). Kurama and Hiei noticed this. "We mean you no harm." Kurama stated.
Sango looked at him and put her weapon down, but kept her sword by her side visible to all. She had a cold face that told them 'no funny business'. She walked toward the door that 3 boys blocked. They looked at her with curiosity. That is... until Kuwabara decided to ask a stupid question.
"Will you be my girl friend?" He looked at her only to see a hand coming at his face. "What kinda question is that!?" Sango screeched. He couldn't answer because he was unconscious. Kagome sighed and got up to calm the demon slayer. "Calm down, Sango. Breath."
"I am calm."
"That's why a boy has been knocked-out." Kagome stated dryly.
"It was a reflex." Sango said defensively.
"He asked you to be his girlfriend not, bear his children."
"It might've turned into that question... eventually."
"He might be another suitor." Kagome had amusement written all over her face, while Sango rose to embarrassment. "I don't need another one."
"Neither do I."
"You have three... maybe four."
"They don't get a clue. They're all dunce."
"Oh? What about that Hojo kid?"
"He doesn't have any survival skills." Kagome was red with embarrassment right along with Sango.
"At least I don't have a lecherous monk after me." Kagome stated that and it was on.
"At least I don't have a puppy following me."
"At least he doesn't grope me."
"At least he understands women."
"Hey! What about that lord , huh!?"
"You're one to talk. You have leader of the wolf demons, Koga."
"At least he leaves me alone."
"He calls you 'his woman'." Sango had a sly grin on her face.
"I AM NOT HIS WOMAN!!!!!" The youkai winced at the volume of Kagome's voice.
"What about Inuyasha? All the demons we encounter call you his 'wench'." Sango felt victorious. "He... has Kikyo..." Kagome's voice was close to a whisper. Her voice dripped with sadness that was slowly making it's way to her face. Sango no longer felt victorious, but guilty. "Kagome-chan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up. After all... that's why we're here other wise we'd be with them." She pulled Kagome into a hug and patted her head. "I bet Sesshou is wailing on him as we speak." Sango nodded her head thinking that punishment was fit. Kagome giggled and returned into her happy self. "Thanks Sango."
Shippo bounced on top of Kagome's head once he was sure she was happy again. "Kaasan the weird boys are still here." Kagome shot up red with embarrassment once again.
Kagome gave a sheepish smile and a sheepish laugh to go with it. "What brings you here?" Was Kagome's question. This time Yusuke was embarrassed. "You kinda gotta meet somebody." He stated matter-of-factly. "Who?" She countered. "You'll see." Was Kurama's answer.
Yusuke took out the communicator. "Hey Botan we found her." He was sounding unusually calm. "Be right there!" Botan said in her usual bubbliness.
"Don't freak, you're not dead, and this shouldn't take long." Yusuke said. Kagome and Sango looked at each other and nodded. "Only if Shippo and Sango can come." Kagome's voice was calm but strict as well as her face, but her eyes were so cold it was a wonder they didn't freeze in place. " Sure they can come Kags." Yusuke replied. All the boys fidgeted under her calculating eyes. She nodded once her scan was complete.
Botan came out of a just made portal with a big smile. "Helloooo." Was Botan's greeting. Kagome visibly paled. "What's wrong Kaasan?" Shippo's face etched with worry. "Death." Kagome's voice filled with shock, worry, terror, and curiosity. "Death?" Shippo repeated and looked at Botan. "Botan is the name. I'm pilot of the river Styx. Also know as the grim Reaper and or Lady Death." Botan's cheerfulness never quivered. She opened another portal. "Go ahead." Botan cheered.
Yusuke was first with Kuwabara over his shoulder. Hiei next. Followed by Sango then Kagome with Shippo. Finally Kirara, Kurama, and then Botan.
* At Koenma's Office *
"Hmmm, you're all here... so where is he?" Koenma was clueless. Kagome masked her aura to that of a normal human. "She." Hiei corrected. "She? How can a girl have such a huge aura?" Koenma stared at the girls with an accusing eye. "How can spirit world be run by a toddler?" Yusuke answered with his own question. "I am NOT A TODDLER!"
The girls looked at each other and started giggled. That caught his attention, two giggling girls.
"Who are you?" The question made him sound like a retard who just saw the Tooth Fairy. Sango and Kagome looked at each other and bursted out laughing. Once Kagome settle down she answered "The one you seek."
Shippo smirked at the Demigod's wide-eyed face. "Kaasan, he doesn't believe you." Shippo complained. He didn't like it when people thought his mother was a liar. Kagome looked at him and smiled. "You should stop hiding it Kagome." Sango said with a reassuring smile. Kagome sighed and unmasked it once again.
Koenma visibly paled. "H-How do you have such a huge aura?" He sat there stunned waiting for a reply. Kagome's smile faltered. She looked him directly in the eyes. "How? Simple... I am Kikyo's reincarnation and guardian of the Shikon Jewel." Kurama was shocked, as well as Hiei.
Kagome seated herself on Koenma's desk. "As its guardian I am to protect it."
Koenma regained his posture. "May I see it?" He was being careful not to break trust he was trying to create.
Kagome looked at him and pulled out a pink jewel missing a couple of pieces. "It's not done yet. We have a few more pieces to get for it to be complete." As Kagome spoke her eyes grew full os sadness and hatred, that was the first time her friends saw hate in her eyes and gasped. Shippo came and jumped in her lap. His presence soothed her as she put her fingers through his hair. She smiled again, but it was made out of sadness.
"Our journey is not complete." Sango took over for her adopted younger sister/best friend. "We came to take a week length break." She walked over to stand next to Kagome. "It's a punishment to one of our male companions." Her tone wasn't harsh, but strict. If you didn't know any better you'd say she was a professional when it came to business. Her sword still visible.
Koenma was focused on the jewel. He was shocked to see it. Also to find out it was broken. "What happened to it?" He was curious. Kagome blushed. "Heh, well while i was protecting it I kind of... broke it."
Shippo looked at her with mournful eyes. Kagome felt guilty and hugged him close to her heart. "It's okay. I'm here, right? You got me." Kagome spoke to put her son at ease. "Remember if the jewel never broke and caused all those things to happen we would've never met." He looked at her again, straight into her eyes. His eyes held sadness and a hint of hope at the same time. "You'll never leave me, right?" His voice was close to a whisper full of unease and hope. His question was innocent and full of heart.
Kagome smiled warmly and looked into his turquoise eyes. "Right. I would never leave you. You're my little boy. Full of pride and joy." He smiled at her answer, and let out a pent up breath he didn't know he had. Shippo loved Kagome with all his heart. Just like a son should love his mother.
Yusuke felt for Shippo. Yet he was upset that he didn't know much about Kagome, being the last time they saw each other they were kids.
"Hey Kag. What's with the kid?" His voice was soft, but serious and demanding. He was determined to get answers. His eyes glued to the little trio, mostly Kagome and Shippo. He envied the kid. Shippo had a kind, caring, nice, good looking mother while he had a mother who wasn't as caring, and always drunk. Kagome smiled at Yusuke.
"He's my son. I adopted him. His name is Shippo."
Kurama was confused. 'Youkai are protective of their children. Where are his? He's a fox. Foxes are good when it comes to survival.' Those thoughts ran through his head. He wanted answers. His curiosity wouldn't be satisfied until he got them.
"Where are his birth parents?" Kuwabara practically blurted out.
Shippo put on an unemotional face, that would have made Sesshoumaru proud. Kagome started rocking back and forth to sooth him. "Dead." was Shippo's only answer.
Kirara jumped on his head and mewed. Shippo smiled at her antics.
He looked at Koenma. "Why are we here?" His voice full of authority. Koenma flinched when all eyes landed on him. "I needed to know where the powerful aura came from and why the legendary Shikon no Tama was mixed with it." Koenma said after Kagome remasked her aura. Sango looked at him with cold eyes.
"Now you know. May we go now?" Shippo whined. Kagome looked at Koenma, eyes going from curious to worry. "May we?" she asked.
Botan walked closer to Kagome. "Actually we were all hoping maybe you could answer a few more questions." Botan stated unusually shy and timid. Kagome looked at her, studied her. After a moment she nodded. "Sure, but not too much. We have to go shopping."
Sango looked at her totally baffled. "Shopping?"
"Mmhmm. We have to get you and Shippo some cloths for here. Can't have you stick out like a sore thumb, now can we?" Kagome explained in her own way.
Botan looked them over with caution. "The jewel hasn't been excitant for five hundred years. How did you get it?" Botan's approach on the matter was handled with care. Kagome sighed, knowing that question would come up sooner or later, then looked death in the face. She explained her story all starting from her fifteenth birthday to just a while ago. She even told them about her and Sango's suitors.
"Whoa. You've been through more than me, and I died." Was Yusuke's comment. Kagome looked at him like he just grew another head. "Buddy you got some splaing to do." Kagome retorted, in a Spanish accent. Yusuke blushed a little and told his story, including the kiss that brought him back to life(Botan made him^^).
"You've been through a lot over the years." Kagome replied.
"Hey! Isn't your birthday coming up?" Yusuke spontaneously asked. Kagome blushed a brilliant shade of red. "Heh heh... I almost forgot. It's gonna be my sweet sixteen, that won't be all that sweet knowing Inuyasha." Kagome said.
' It's almost been a full year. NOT! I'm gonna turn 18. I've been traveling for three years. And to think I never told my friends my birthday... how sad.' She thought.
Kagome sighed, "18." Everybody looked at her. They were all confused, it wasn't hard to see that. "I'm gonna be 18 not 16." Shippo looked at her kind, smooth face. "Why didn't you tell us?" Shippo was whining again.
"I didn't think it was all that important." She answered.
'Great! She's loathing again.' Sango thought. "Stop loathing. You're gonna make me loathe." She said. "Yeah!" Shippo piped in, "When you're in a bad or depressing mood I am too."
Kagome sighed again, she's been doing that a lot lately. "Well it's almost 4:00." Kagome spoke,"We gotta get you guys cloths; I gotta get some supplies, cloths, and food." She shook her head, "I also have to get money and more time."
Koenma looked at her. "You may leave... but only if you take my Spirit Detectives with you on your journey for the rest of the Shikon jewel shards and let them help in 'the final battle'." Koenma's voice was bargainy. Sango and Kagome looked at each other, and nodded.
"M'kay. We leave in six days." Sango said, and for the first time they spoke with her her voice was cheerful. Not only that she flashed them a smile, she smiled!(AN: The boys thought she didn't smile.)
"Botan! Open a portal! Good luck with your new mission." Koenma, king of bossiness, blurted.
Botan followed he employer's command and pushed everyone through a portal to Kagome's room.
*At Kagome's room"
They all landed in a pile. Kuwabara and Kurama on the bottom, followed by Sango and Shippo, then Yusuke backside of Kagome, who was under Hiei... leaving the two in a awkward position. Shippo was first to complain.
"Could you PLEASE get off me!?" You could tell he was annoyed. "Yeah! Ka-go-me." Yusuke accused.
Kagome's face was so red it could compete with Kurama's hair. She didn't hear her cousin, because she was lost in rational thoughts. Hiei got off after smelling her become aroused. The sweet smell was intoxicating him, causing him to become aroused.
Once Hiei was off Kagome got up and sat on her bed. Yusuke plopped himself on the floor, while Shippo scrambled to sit on Kagome's lap. Sango got up and sat next to Kagome. Followed by Kurama, who got up dusted himself off and sat in Kagome's desk chair. Kuwabara was once again... unconscious.
Kagome looked at them and sighed. 'Joy. I get to baby-sit more boys. Another Inuyasha, an idiot, clever fox, and a mysterious hot youkai.' Was all Kagome could think at the moment.
Hiei blushed a little. He read Kagome's mind and didn't think that she'd find him 'hot'. She was a bit taller than him and already had suitors. Not only that... she turned him on. If he weren't wearing a cloak they'd see a nice bulge in his pants.
Kagome's brother came bursting through the door. "Sis you're home!", his face held pure joy and happiness, "Mom! Kagome 's back! And She has some friends over!" Souta shouted out Kagome's door. He looked at the people occupying Kagome's room. His mouth was gaping like a fish. Then Jii-chan came through the door with his ofudas in his hand.
"Demon be gone!" He yelled at poor Shippo and stuck an ofuda to his forehead.
Shippo had seen Miroku with these, to excerisise demons, and started running in circles screaming bloody murder. Kagome glared at her grandfather before picking up Shippo and pulling the ofuda off his forehead. Shippo's eyes were wide and filled with shock, terror, and lots of fear. It crushed Kagome's heart. She handed Sango, Shippo. Then she went to give her grandfather a couple of lumps.
Suddenly Kagome's mom, Taki (I'm gonna call her that), came in with a welcoming smile.
"Kagome you're back. Oh and I see Yusuke is here as well." Was her greeting. She gasped when she saw Shippo. Before your eyes she had Shippo in her hands. "Awwww. Kagome who's this cutie." She cooed. Kagome smiled.
"That's Shippo. I've told you a lot about him." She answered. Taki grinned. "My grandbaby! I'm gonna spoil him to bits.", She looked at Kagome," You can use my credit card for shopping.", Then her face turned serious, "I think you should know something." Kagome fidgeted. "Y-Yeah?"
Taki looked over the room. " I guess these people should know as well... Kagome... you're not human." Everybody froze. All eyes on Kagome's still body. "Then... what am I ?"
END CHAPTER
AN: A cliffy. Wait till next chap to see what kind of demon Kagome is. Will her friends still accept her? What will happen? And what will Yusuke think?

* At Koenma's Office *
"Hmmm, you're all here... so where is he?" Koenma was clueless. Kagome masked her aura to that of a normal human. "She." Hiei corrected. "She? How can a girl have such a huge aura?" Koenma stared at the girls with an accusing eye. "How can spirit world be run by a toddler?" Yusuke answered with his own question. "I am NOT A TODDLER!"
The girls looked at each other and started giggled. That caught his attention, two giggling girls.
"Who are you?" The question made him sound like a retard who just saw the Tooth Fairy. Sango and Kagome looked at each other and bursted out laughing. Once Kagome settle down she answered "The one you seek."
Shippo smirked at the Demigod's wide-eyed face. "Kaasan, he doesn't believe you." Shippo complained. He didn't like it when people thought his mother was a liar. Kagome looked at him and smiled. "You should stop hiding it Kagome." Sango said with a reassuring smile. Kagome sighed and unmasked it once again.
Koenma visibly paled. "H-How do you have such a huge aura?" He sat there stunned waiting for a reply. Kagome's smile faltered. She looked him directly in the eyes. "How? Simple... I am Kikyo's reincarnation and guardian of the Shikon Jewel." Kurama was shocked, as well as Hiei.
Kagome seated herself on Koenma's desk. "As its guardian I am to protect it."
Koenma regained his posture. "May I see it?" He was being careful not to break trust he was trying to create.
Kagome looked at him and pulled out a pink jewel missing a couple of pieces. "It's not done yet. We have a few more pieces to get for it to be complete." As Kagome spoke her eyes grew full os sadness and hatred, that was the first time her friends saw hate in her eyes and gasped. Shippo came and jumped in her lap. His presence soothed her as she put her fingers through his hair. She smiled again, but it was made out of sadness.
"Our journey is not complete." Sango took over for her adopted younger sister/best friend. "We came to take a week length break." She walked over to stand next to Kagome. "It's a punishment to one of our male companions." Her tone wasn't harsh, but strict. If you didn't know any better you'd say she was a professional when it came to business. Her sword still visible.
Koenma was focused on the jewel. He was shocked to see it. Also to find out it was broken. "What happened to it?" He was curious. Kagome blushed. "Heh, well while i was protecting it I kind of... broke it."
Shippo looked at her with mournful eyes. Kagome felt guilty and hugged him close to her heart. "It's okay. I'm here, right? You got me." Kagome spoke to put her son at ease. "Remember if the jewel never broke and caused all those things to happen we would've never met." He looked at her again, straight into her eyes. His eyes held sadness and a hint of hope at the same time. "You'll never leave me, right?" His voice was close to a whisper full of unease and hope. His question was innocent and full of heart.
Kagome smiled warmly and looked into his turquoise eyes. "Right. I would never leave you. You're my little boy. Full of pride and joy." He smiled at her answer, and let out a pent up breath he didn't know he had. Shippo loved Kagome with all his heart. Just like a son should love his mother.
Yusuke felt for Shippo. Yet he was upset that he didn't know much about Kagome, being the last time they saw each other they were kids.
"Hey Kag. What's with the kid?" His voice was soft, but serious and demanding. He was determined to get answers. His eyes glued to the little trio, mostly Kagome and Shippo. He envied the kid. Shippo had a kind, caring, nice, good looking mother while he had a mother who wasn't as caring, and always drunk. Kagome smiled at Yusuke.
"He's my son. I adopted him. His name is Shippo."
Kurama was confused. 'Youkai are protective of their children. Where are his? He's a fox. Foxes are good when it comes to survival.' Those thoughts ran through his head. He wanted answers. His curiosity wouldn't be satisfied until he got them.
"Where are his birth parents?" Kuwabara practically blurted out.
Shippo put on an unemotional face, that would have made Sesshoumaru proud. Kagome started rocking back and forth to sooth him. "Dead." was Shippo's only answer.
Kirara jumped on his head and mewed. Shippo smiled at her antics.
He looked at Koenma. "Why are we here?" His voice full of authority. Koenma flinched when all eyes landed on him. "I needed to know where the powerful aura came from and why the legendary Shikon no Tama was mixed with it." Koenma said after Kagome remasked her aura. Sango looked at him with cold eyes.
"Now you know. May we go now?" Shippo whined. Kagome looked at Koenma, eyes going from curious to worry. "May we?" she asked.
Botan walked closer to Kagome. "Actually we were all hoping maybe you could answer a few more questions." Botan stated unusually shy and timid. Kagome looked at her, studied her. After a moment she nodded. "Sure, but not too much. We have to go shopping."
Sango looked at her totally baffled. "Shopping?"
"Mmhmm. We have to get you and Shippo some cloths for here. Can't have you stick out like a sore thumb, now can we?" Kagome explained in her own way.
Botan looked them over with caution. "The jewel hasn't been excitant for five hundred years. How did you get it?" Botan's approach on the matter was handled with care. Kagome sighed, knowing that question would come up sooner or later, then looked death in the face. She explained her story all starting from her fifteenth birthday to just a while ago. She even told them about her and Sango's suitors.
"Whoa. You've been through more than me, and I died." Was Yusuke's comment. Kagome looked at him like he just grew another head. "Buddy you got some splaing to do." Kagome retorted, in a Spanish accent. Yusuke blushed a little and told his story, including the kiss that brought him back to life(Botan made him^^).
"You've been through a lot over the years." Kagome replied.
"Hey! Isn't your birthday coming up?" Yusuke spontaneously asked. Kagome blushed a brilliant shade of red. "Heh heh... I almost forgot. It's gonna be my sweet sixteen, that won't be all that sweet knowing Inuyasha." Kagome said.
' It's almost been a full year. NOT! I'm gonna turn 18. I've been traveling for three years. And to think I never told my friends my birthday... how sad.' She thought.
Kagome sighed, "18." Everybody looked at her. They were all confused, it wasn't hard to see that. "I'm gonna be 18 not 16." Shippo looked at her kind, smooth face. "Why didn't you tell us?" Shippo was whining again.
"I didn't think it was all that important." She answered.
'Great! She's loathing again.' Sango thought. "Stop loathing. You're gonna make me loathe." She said. "Yeah!" Shippo piped in, "When you're in a bad or depressing mood I am too."
Kagome sighed again, she's been doing that a lot lately. "Well it's almost 4:00." Kagome spoke,"We gotta get you guys cloths; I gotta get some supplies, cloths, and food." She shook her head, "I also have to get money and more time."
Koenma looked at her. "You may leave... but only if you take my Spirit Detectives with you on your journey for the rest of the Shikon jewel shards and let them help in 'the final battle'." Koenma's voice was bargainy. Sango and Kagome looked at each other, and nodded.
"M'kay. We leave in six days." Sango said, and for the first time they spoke with her her voice was cheerful. Not only that she flashed them a smile, she smiled!(AN: The boys thought she didn't smile.)
"Botan! Open a portal! Good luck with your new mission." Koenma, king of bossiness, blurted.
Botan followed he employer's command and pushed everyone through a portal to Kagome's room.
*At Kagome's room"
They all landed in a pile. Kuwabara and Kurama on the bottom, followed by Sango and Shippo, then Yusuke backside of Kagome, who was under Hiei... leaving the two in a awkward position. Shippo was first to complain.
"Could you PLEASE get off me!?" You could tell he was annoyed. "Yeah! Ka-go-me." Yusuke accused.
Kagome's face was so red it could compete with Kurama's hair. She didn't hear her cousin, because she was lost in rational thoughts. Hiei got off after smelling her become aroused. The sweet smell was intoxicating him, causing him to become aroused.
Once Hiei was off Kagome got up and sat on her bed. Yusuke plopped himself on the floor, while Shippo scrambled to sit on Kagome's lap. Sango got up and sat next to Kagome. Followed by Kurama, who got up dusted himself off and sat in Kagome's desk chair. Kuwabara was once again... unconscious.
Kagome looked at them and sighed. 'Joy. I get to baby-sit more boys. Another Inuyasha, an idiot, clever fox, and a mysterious hot youkai.' Was all Kagome could think at the moment.
Hiei blushed a little. He read Kagome's mind and didn't think that she'd find him 'hot'. She was a bit taller than him and already had suitors. Not only that... she turned him on. If he weren't wearing a cloak they'd see a nice bulge in his pants.
Kagome's brother came bursting through the door. "Sis you're home!", his face held pure joy and happiness, "Mom! Kagome 's back! And She has some friends over!" Souta shouted out Kagome's door. He looked at the people occupying Kagome's room. His mouth was gaping like a fish. Then Jii-chan came through the door with his ofudas in his hand.
"Demon be gone!" He yelled at poor Shippo and stuck an ofuda to his forehead.
Shippo had seen Miroku with these, to excerisise demons, and started running in circles screaming bloody murder. Kagome glared at her grandfather before picking up Shippo and pulling the ofuda off his forehead. Shippo's eyes were wide and filled with shock, terror, and lots of fear. It crushed Kagome's heart. She handed Sango, Shippo. Then she went to give her grandfather a couple of lumps.
Suddenly Kagome's mom, Taki (I'm gonna call her that), came in with a welcoming smile.
"Kagome you're back. Oh and I see Yusuke is here as well." Was her greeting. She gasped when she saw Shippo. Before your eyes she had Shippo in her hands. "Awwww. Kagome who's this cutie." She cooed. Kagome smiled.
"That's Shippo. I've told you a lot about him." She answered. Taki grinned. "My grandbaby! I'm gonna spoil him to bits.", She looked at Kagome," You can use my credit card for shopping.", Then her face turned serious, "I think you should know something." Kagome fidgeted. "Y-Yeah?"
Taki looked over the room. " I guess these people should know as well... Kagome... you're not human." Everybody froze. All eyes on Kagome's still body. "Then... what am I ?"
