Chapter One

x-X-x

Kagome didn't know the family that was taking her in. She knew that Rintarou was a good friend to her mother and was willing to take her in now that she had no family.

She had been seventeen when Rintarou took her in. She didn't know how to feel with the new family situation. Kagome had come home with her family dead, and no one knew how to contact her.

When she finally got in contact with one of her friends, Ayumi, she let her know what happened.

A car crash.

Something as simple as that took the life of her younger brother, mother and grandfather. Kagome broke down feeling horrible. She should have been there with them, not in the past.

She could have spent more time with them if she didn't put her selfish needs of wanting to fight in the past...her mother asked her to stop going. Kagome kept coming back hurt, injury after injury had become too much for her mother. Kagome refused though...she thought she was doing the right thing...her duty.

Now though...Kagome regretted it sometimes. She regrets not being there all the time with her family...but she still thought she did the right thing going to the past. She was the one who broke the Shikon no Tama in the first place...so it was her duty to make sure it was repaired and out of existence.

Kagome lived with her past, she missed everyone in the past...and she still cried for her family she lost...but now she started to live again.

Kagome dropped out of highschool, much to the disappointment of Rintarou, but she did get her GED, and was on her way to publish her first novel.

Feudal Fairy Tale: The Journey Begins.

It was almost ready to be published after a year of work.

Kagome was nineteen now, and she did still live with the Hinata family. Ema was cute, and Kagome took to being the 'guardian' when Rintarou wasn't around...which was A LOT.

But now...Rintarou was getting remarried and with said marriage he wanted Kagome and Ema to live with his new wife's sons...all thirteen of them.

Kagome was still iffy about going to live with them, which brought her to the situation she was in now.

She wanted to talk to Rintarou and tell him he didn't need to take care of her anymore. She was making enough with her job now...and if her book sells good she could live off that as she wrote the sequel to said book.

Biting her lip, Kagome flipped open her cellphone. She should get it over and done with. She wasn't part of the Hinata family...Kagome knew that. She was just someone staying with them, sure they were close, but not family close.

Clicking 'Rintarou Hinata' Kagome put the phone to her ear as it started to ring. On the third ring she heard a 'hello'

"Rintarou...It's Kagome" She fidgeted with the end of her skirt. She was already nervous, but now being on the phone, she didn't know how to word what she was going to say. She didn't want to upset him any, he did take her in when he didn't need to.

"Kagome? Is everything alright?" Kagome could hear worry in his voice but shoved it to the back of her mind.

"Yes...everythings fine...I um...just wanted to talk to you about this...moving thing?" SHe didn't know what else to call it. She wasn't family, she shouldn't live with his to be wife's family. She had no place there.

Kagome heard a sigh on the other line, "I was wondering if you were going to say something...I take it you are unsure. You don't' have to be. Miwa said her sons would be happy to have you there...and I know Ema would like the company too."

Kagome sighed into the phone, "I know...I know...but I'm not family...you are going to be a newlywed soon...I am nineteen. You don't have to take care of my. I am of age now."

Kagome heard Rintarou take a deep breath, "You are family. Maybe not by blood...and you haven't been living with us long, but you are still family and will be so from now on."

Biting her lip Kagome looked down at her hands, "I just don't want to be a burden to you..."

A soft laugh came from the other line, "You are always putting yourself down. You need more self confidence Kagome."

She knew what he said was true, her time with Inuyasha did make her have some confidence issues...as well as love and trust issues. There was a reason she didn't date.

"...I know...but..." Kagome started, but she heard a shuffle of the phone before a woman came on the line.

"Kagome?" a soft voice said, Kagome was guessing this was Miwa Asahina, Rintarou to be wife.

"..um...yes ma'am." She didn't know how she would talk to this woman. She had never met her before.

"You can call me Miwa...but.." there was a pause, "..You don't have to worry. My sons will be fine with you staying there. You can do a trial period...if you don't like living there, you can find an apartment."

Kagome could agree to that...she could stay there for a couple months and then she would get an apartment for herself and go on with her life.

"You are family. Rintarou said this to you, and I know my boys will love having another sister." Kagome felt her heart stop at this. Family. She wanted that more than anything, but she didn't know if she deserved it.

"I...I will give it a try." Kagome muttered into the phone feeling defeated. She would give it time and if she didn't like it...well she would move.

"Good..." Miwa said cheerfully, Kagome could tell she was a kind woman and was happy Rintarou found her.

Kagome smiled softly, "Tell Rintarou I will call him again once we have settled in...for now I have to finish packing." She paused before continuing, "Thank you."

She heard a 'you're welcome' before Kagome hung up the phone.

Looking around her room Kagome sighed, "It looks like I have some packing to do before tomarrow."

Who knew that tomorrow would end up being different than she expected.

Yuki Note: Hope you all enjoyed the chapter...it is longer than normal! XD But yes, I am trying to get back into typing. It was a slow process and I am trying to do it. I am getting there slowly. I enjoyed writing this chapter...a lot.

I may do what I have been wanting to do for a while, but because of the flamers decided against it. I will pick a couple of fics to concentrate on and work on those. This way I can get back into typing the way I want to.

Thanks for all the support from everyone.

Love you all! *hugs*
