A/N: I don't own Inuyasha. I know it's not the right time of year but yeah it's summer and I got a lot of updating to do. Anyway enjoy! :)
Kagome's POV
It was the first day in ever I wouldn't have them with me. It was also the first day of Christmas break. I walked back to the orphanage on Oak Street quietly like I did every day after school, but this time it was truly quiet. 'At least they had a family for Christmas,' I thought to myself as I opened the front door.
"Ms. Camrene I'm back!" I called through the old house. "I'll be out at the lake." I grabbed my skates and headed out.
"Okay, be back before dark!" She was a nice old lady, however with old comes frailness. At least for her, I was different. It's hard enough being a teenager then add being an orphan and youkai. Who in their right mind would want to adopt a teenage youkai? We have the problems of a teenager and getting used to youkai abilities! Not to mention you do not adopt outside of your species, it's just not done. Do you know how hard it is to find an inuyoukai willing to adopt?!
Sorry I seem to be ranting. It's just I've been through too much. Thinking about this just set me alight.
I walked faster to the frozen over lake and switched my flat boots for the skates. Stuffing my ears with my earphones and turning on my Ipod, I step out on the ice. I skate around for a few hours letting my mind lose focus.
Inutaisho's (Toga) POV
I had no clue what I was doing here. Some of Inuyasha's friends had decided to adopt two little kids from some orphanage and somehow Izayoi convinced me to show up here. Some old woman greeted us but said there was only one child left at the place.
"Really?" Izayoi had agreed to meet them and got me into this tiny meeting room. Somehow. "Honey, are you sure you're okay with this?"
"Of course, just a little uneasy. I'll be fine." I didn't want to tell her why youkai normally don't adopt outside of the species. She'd be upset, and with the few years she has left I want them to be her happiest. Even if that means adopting a child.
The old woman came back into the room. "Well there are a few things we need to cover before she gets back. Which means we have approximately a hour." She pulled out a huge binder.
"What's that?" The woman flipped open the cover.
"Everything we need to check off before I get Kagome's hopes up. Number 1: Are either of you an inuyoukai?"
Kagome's POV
For some reason my beast was pulling me to get back to the orphanage faster than I would normally walk. Upon entering I could sense why.
A strong aura of youki coming from the meeting room. 'That don't make sense. I'm the only one left. Unless...'
I ran up the stairs and got all my things situated.
Sesshomaru's POV
'Why do I have this unnerving feeling?' I thought to myself as I continued to stir the cookie mix Rin choose at the market today.
"Daddy," Rin appeared at my side from... somewhere. It's creepy how she does that. "When will Grandma get back? She said she play dress up with me." Those brown eyes went into puppy mode, and started to wonder if I did such things to my parents as a child.
"They said they'd be home soon, Rin. In the mean time, would you like to help me flatten the dough?" I said while overturning the bowl without paying attention.
Rin shook her head while looking at where the dow was supposed to be. "I don't think you're supposed to do that." I looked at the dough, remembering something, it was supposed to rise before you flatten.
"Rin get your coat." Oh, how I hate Christmas cookies.
I put the blanket down before lifting her up to sit in the cart. I swear, humans are so mean to their children by forcing them to sit in such uncomfortable places during a shopping trip. Some humans will look at me funny, but at least I'm being a nice parent.
"Look!" Rin yelled pointing at some poster behind me.
"Rin, no yelling. What is it?"
"Santa!" I turned to see the dates the Christmas spirit was set up for. Today was one. "Can we take a picture with Santa for Grandma and Grandpa?" Leverage!
"If you're good throughout the store."
"Deal." She settled down in the cart. Oh, how I love Christmas spirits. I'll have to send them some cookies this year.
Kagome's POV
I couldn't believe it. I actually had a chance at being adopted and she was reading them the checklist. He seemed like a powerful youkai, why waste the time?
Ms. Camrene walked out and looked at me before smiling. "Have fun this Christmas!" She hugged e with a force the could rival a youkai's strength. "Be a real teenager. They only have two full grown boys, and the guy and his son should be powerful enough to control you in case that happens. Have fun!" She left me at the door. They were waiting just inside. Then it hit me, I was being adopted by a youkai. Earlier I hadn't explained the way youkai adopted because I never thought it would happen, but now... I guess I must tell you. Youkai adopt through mating into the family.
Toga's POV
Izayoi doesn't know what she has sealed this girl's fate to. Telling the woman we had two sons might have been a bad idea. It's not really a choice. Inuyasha is courting Kikyo, leaving this girl with Sesshomaru. Perhaps there's a loophole somewhere. I will have to examine the laws again. Darn it I don't think we have Tylenol at home. Have to stop by the store to get some. That's when I felt it. The aura flashing in and out far too quickly to be okay.
"So exciting, let's go meet her." Izayoi grabbed my hands and dragged me out of the room only to stop at the door. "Oh, how sweet! She's been waiting."
Kagome's POV
They seemed nice enough. We spoke for awhile, then the woman told me I should get my stuff gathered up to head out. While she went to get the car to the front door, the guy came with me to help get my things. He seemed quiet but his aura told me he'd be in charge if something went wrong. He was nice that's all that mattered, right?
A/N: I know I'm terrible, but do you think I should continue or not?
