One Confusing Day

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear, Kagome. Happy birthday to you," everyone sang.

"Make a wish Kagome," Akira, Kagome's father, cheered. Kagome did as she was told and blew out all ten candles. Cheers came from all the people in the Higurashi mansion. Louder cheers came from the children eagerly awaiting a piece of chocolate cake and strawberry ice cream.

All the children sat enjoying their cake and ice cream as the adults talked outside. After Kagome was finished stuffing her face with the dessert she threw the Happy Birthday plate in the garbage and grabbed one of her birthday presents off the table, a soccer ball. Taking the ball she ran outside and onto the deck, with quite a few kids following her, while the adults were all discussing whatever.

Sachi, Kagome's mom, saw her daughter running out the door and headed towards the lawn. "Hold it, Missy. Where are you going?"

Kagome stopped. "Please?"

"Careful!" After getting the approval from her parent she ran down the steps. Dividing up into two teams they started a game of soccer, with Kagome as one team captain and InuYasha Takahashi as the other.

Kagome was racing down the field, InuYasha in front of her trying to get the ball away. The goal was no more than fifteen feet away when she kicked the ball, launching it into the air. She must have kicked it too hard, because the ball sailed passed the goal, by a long shot and headed towards the crowd of adults.

The ball was about to hit someone, but they must of had really good reflexes, because they turned around and caught it before any damage was done.

"Crap!" Kagome received looks from her parents. "Sorry," Kagome said as she came towards the deck. Staying on the lawn she looked up a good ten feet and saw a pair of golden eyes staring back at her. "Oh crap," she said under her breath. "Hey Sesshomaru."

The twelve year old youkai just stared at her, with the ball in his clutches; the adults had gone back to talking. "Missing something?"

"Obviously! Can I have my ball back?" She asked with little patience.

"No" was the answer he gave and she didn't like it.

Kagome crossed her arms over her chest with a very irritated look on her face. "You have five seconds to give me that ball back, before I make you."

He raised an eyebrow and smirked at her as he just stared back at the aggravated girl. "Oh really, is that a fact?"

Kagome started growling, as she was got ready to jump up onto the railing. Since she was a full demon she would have been able to clear it with ease. However, her parents stopped her. After all, there were humans at the party that were unaware of that demons stilled lived and because of that all demons had to wear a concealment spell so they could walk around and look like a human. "Kagome don't even think about it!"

She growled at her parents, but all her father had to do was look at her and she stopped. "Fine. How about this Sesshomaru? One on one first to score wins. Besides I want to have a little fun on my birthday. InuYasha is too easy to beat and you're my last resort." He just rolled his eyes and started to walk away. "But apparently you are afraid to be beaten by a ten year old girl. Then again it isn't like you are much competition anyway. Anyone could be beat you!"

'That always gets him,' she thought.

He turned around and looked down at the obnoxious girl. "This Sesshomaru is not afraid of anything." He walked down the steps, passing the challenger. "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

Kagome went out towards the field with a smile on her face.

Sachi sighed. "Kagome quit pouting."

Kagome looked up from the chair she was sitting in and glared at her mom, who was talking with Izayoi Takahashi, her Godmother and happened to be InuYasha's mother. "I am not pouting. Besides he cheated."

"I did no such thing." The doors from the deck opened and in walk, her dad, Godfather InuTaisho Takahashi, and his children, Sesshomaru and InuYasha.

"You did too."

"Quit whining. God, you are so annoying," he complained as he sat down on the couch across from her.

She growled. "Sesshomaru I swear to God if you don't shut your big stupid mouth, I will make it so you can never talk again."

"How are you going to do that when you can't even beat me at a game of soccer?" he smirked.

Her eyes widen and she jumped out of her seat sailing toward her rival. She would have made it if her dad hadn't grabbed her as she was flying through the air. Sesshomaru was trying not to laugh. InuYasha however, didn't have a problem laughing; neither did her father, as he sat down on the chair she had occupied moments ago. "Now, now Kagome, you should know better than that. Your mother hates it when you go bouncing around on her furniture."

"Hey don't pin this all on me," Sachi said as she came into the living room with a cup of tea in her hands. "And you missy need to settle down it's almost time for bed. You have one hour left."

"No I don't! It's my birthday I can go to bed whenever I want. Right daddy?" She looked up at her father and gave the 'look' he could never resist.

"Of course baby girl," he said and kissed her head. He looked over at his mate who looked like she was going to kill him and he smiled. "As long as it is in the next hour."

"But last week when mommy said I had to go to bed without dessert, you came in later and we had ice cream together."

Sachi looked at her mate and smiled dangerously. "Oh is that so. Well, I guess your father and I will have to have a talk later tonight. Won't we dear?"

"I thought me had an agreement, baby girl?"

Kagome started giggling. "Oops, I forgot." She started giggling again when her dad started tickling her and wouldn't stop. "Daddy stop."

He kissed her forehead. "Alright, go tell InuTaisho and Izayoi good-bye and thank you."

Kagome hopped off her dad and ran over to her Godmother giving her a big hug. "Thank you, Izayoi!"

Izayoi smiled. "You're welcome sweetheart."

Kagome ran over to InuTaisho, he caught as she jumped and hugged him. "Thank you so much."

He smiled and set her back on the ground. "You're welcome."

"Kagome, aren't you forgetting someone?" her dad asked.

"Oh yeah, bye InuYasha." He just gave a weird look.

"Kagome."

"Fine, leave Sesshomaru!"

"Kagome Leiko," her father warned.

"Children. Goodnight you guys. We'll see you later."

Kagome went over and flopped onto the couch and yawned, as her parents came back over. "Kagome Leiko Higurashi, bed now! We'll be up in a little bit."

Kagome hopped off the couch heading to the stairs, she was going to just jump up to the rail until she heard her mother's voice. "Stairs."

"Fine, I should have known I wouldn't have been able to get away with that. That guy is always getting me into trouble." Kagome took the stairs and headed to her room. When she entered, she immediately flopped onto her nice plushy bed. It wasn't long before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Sachi and Akira were cuddled up on the couch together after a minor argument over Akira going behind her back and completely disregarding what she told their daughter. Akira really didn't feel like arguing to tonight so all he had to do was silence her with a kiss. It would stop her talking anytime.

Sachi yawned and snuggled deeper into the arms of her mate. "Tired?" Akira asked.

She nodded. "Yeah a little."

Standing, he pulled Sachi up with him. "Come on."

They walked up the stairs and went into their daughter's room and she was sound asleep on top of the comforter in a striped pajama outfit.

They stood at the doorway for a few moments and observed their little girl. Her long black hair, deep blue stripes on both cheek and wrist, and everything else a demon had. Akira walked over and picked up his baby girl as his mate pulled back the covers back. He settled Kagome on her bed and pulled the covers over her. The two parents sat on the edge of the bed, as they watched the girl snuggled deeper into the covers.

Sachi sighed again and leaned against her mate. "What are you thinking about, Sachi?"

"I feel guilty for not telling her what is going on and all."

Akira kissed her temple. "Let's not talk about that in here." She nodded with him in agreement. They both kissed Kagome on the cheek and left the room heading towards theirs.

Akira closed their door and leaned against it as his mate went to get changed. He stood there for a few minutes and started thinking about what Sachi had said. "You thinking about what I said?"

He opened his eyes and saw her coming out of the bathroom in a simple nightgown. He nodded. "Yeah." He went over and laid down on their bed, shortly followed by his mate. "Do you think that we should tell her?"

"I don't know. I want to, but I can't and don't want to at the same time...Maybe we should tell InuTaisho and Izayoi. I don't want to have them worry over us, but we did make them our daughter's Godparents. They should at least have a clue that something is going to happen. Besides, I think we have held it off as long as we can. They have been our friends forever."

He shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe you are right, maybe we should tell them the truth. I think that they suspect something already. At least InuTaisho has some idea that we are hiding something, he keeps talking to me about it, saying that if we ever need help that he will, blah, blah, blah."

Sachi chuckled. "Well, at least we know that our child is safe when she is with them." They cuddled up together and soon fell asleep.

It had been about a month since Kagome's birthday party and they were over visiting with InuTaisho and Izayoi. Sachi and Akira had decided to let their friends know what was going on and later that night they would tell their daughter. At the moment Sachi and Izayoi were having their small talk, InuTaisho was finishing up a phone call, and Akira was watching Kagome, InuYasha and Sesshomaru playing a game of horse from the study's balcony.

InuTaisho came up next to his friend and looked out at the children as well. "They grow up so fast don't they?"

Akira nodded. "Yeah they do don't they?"

InuTaisho nodded in response. "So what is going on, that you insisted that the four of us speak?"

He sighed. "Let's go inside so they don't accidentally overhear us." Referring to the children on the court. InuTaisho nodded and closed the doors. He however, didn't see the three children coming inside.

"You suck," InuYasha complained.

"If that was true, then why did I just win," Kagome smiled, while taking a drink of water. She saw Sesshomaru smirking out of the corner of her eye. Kagome would admit to not being that great of a soccer player, but when it came to basketball, she could kick anyone's butt.

InuYasha shrugged. "Shut it. I'm going to take a shower."

Since InuYasha was heading upstairs, and she assumed that Sesshomaru was already up there because he was no longer down stairs, she headed into the living room to relax and watch a bit of T.V.

Sesshomaru had seen her collapse onto the coach and turned the T.V. to some movie, he watched her for a few minutes until she had fallen asleep. He headed up to his room to shower. He passed by his father's study on the way and heard them talking.

Kagome had woken up after a twenty-minute nap. She was going up the stairs to see what everyone was doing, until she heard the four adults talking and what they were discussing had caught her attention. "So this is what you have been hiding from us."

She could hear the confusion in her Godmother's voice as she began to speak. "Wait, so you're telling us that Naraku is after you guys, because you didn't give him what he wanted."

The sadness in the voice of her mother's made her sick to be near. "Yeah, pretty much."

It was quiet for a few moments; she almost thought that they had sensed her, until she heard the relatively calm voice of InuTaisho. "You guys have put us out of this situation for almost four months, why tell us now? Don't tell me you have more on your plate than this?"

Akira and Sachi sighed, debating on how to tell him what they were about to.

Kagome was beyond confused. 'What are they talking about? What have my parents been hiding?' she thought. She had sensed that Sesshomaru was around the corner and had been watching her for some time now. Making sure that the adults in the room wouldn't hear her talk, she said in a low voice. "You know Sesshomaru it isn't nice to spy on people?"

In the same low voice he answered. "What do you call what you are doing then?"

"Hush. I'm trying to listen." She felt him come up behind her, leaning against the wall and to listen as well. She was on the floor, leaning against the wall and went back to listening.

She heard her father's voice. It seemed nervous...almost anxious. "We were wondering if Kagome could stay here for the next couple of weeks? We are leaving for America in five days for a couple of weeks. Actually we don't know how long we will be."

"Care to go more in depth?" InuTaisho asked.

"The short version of the story would be. Naraku is after us and we have to go away to get him away from here and we don't want Kagome to get involved."

"I see."

Kagome's eyes widened as heard her parents speak. She was so confused; she didn't understand what they were talking. 'What is going on and why am I just finding out about whatever is going on?' she thought. Sesshomaru still stood there listening.

Izayoi spoke up. "Of course that is okay. We love having Kagome here she's wonderful."

Akira was going to speak, but InuTaisho intervened. "There's one thing that I am still confused on."

Kagome's parents looked up at him ready to answer the question. "What is Naraku after that you guys have and he is so eager to get?"

"The Shikon No Tama," the parents answer simultaneously.

Kagome gasped. "Oh my God!"

"I thought that, that was a myth?" Izayoi said.

"No it is indeed real. I was unaware that you guys had it."

"We don't," Akira calmly answered.

InuTaisho and Izayoi looked at him awaiting an answer until InuTaisho stopped him. "I would indeed love an answer; however, I think that we have a couple of spies that would like to know what is going on. Sesshomaru. Kagome. Do come in." Nobody however came in.

Sachi and Akira's eyes widened. It amazed them that they had not sensed their daughter and friend listening. Kagome's miko powers had gotten a lot stronger if they couldn't even sense her. "Maybe it would be best if we just leave. We'll talk to you later."

As they opened the study door to leave they only saw Sesshomaru's back as he turned the corner. "Sesshomaru," Akira called. They saw him come back into view. "How much did you two hear?"

"I didn't hear as much as she did."

He sighed. "Where did she go?"

Sesshomaru shrugged and headed down stairs. "Outside on the porch."

Sachi sighed as she headed down stairs with her mate. "We have a lot of explaining to do, depending on how much she heard. You know that right?"

He smiled and a little laugh came out of him as well, as he opened the door. "Let's just get through the night." Once he opened the door he saw their daughter sitting on the porch. Arms wrapped around her legs as her head rested on her knees. Her bangs covered her eyes as they usually did; the crests were gone from her face and wrist as she remembered her concealment spell. Many different emotions came off of her at once: angry, sadness, confusion.

"Kagome," her mother called softly.

She jumped slightly at not knowing her parents were behind her. Quickly she wiped off the tears that she rarely shed, not bothering to turn around she just hopped off the porch and in a quiet voice she asked. "Can we just go home?"

Sachi looked sadly at her upset daughter. "Of course, sweetheart." Sachi wanted so desperately to comfort her daughter, but wasn't sure what to say so she just headed towards the car with Kagome in the lead.
