"You going to tell us why we need to drag some unknowing girl to you, Pacifier Breath?" Yusuke gritted out in annoyance at the teenager with the JR stamped across his forehead in bold black letters.

"First off, Yusuke, you just need to speak to her and second off, her mother is a priestess and her father was a half dog demon whose father was the Great InuTaicho."

"The wha-now?" Yusuke blinked back from behind the bar separating him from the customers as he worked on their noodles.

"InuTaicho." Another voice entered the one-sided conversation. "He was a great dog demon around 500 years ago."

The brown haired teen frowned, "You know, Kurama, you're gonna give someone a heart attack one day."

Koenma felt like banging his head on the counter, "Anyway, the reason is because we have a Shikon No Tama..."

"Shiki..."

"Shikon No Tama. But I thought it disappeared." Kurama frowned as Koenma let out a deep breath. "We did, too. But apparently this girl we need to speak to only recently appeared on our radars. Hence, another reason we need to speak to her."

"Wait, what is that supposed to mean?" Yusuke asked as he continued the order Koenma wanted in the first place.

"It means Spirit World has little information." Kurama smiled wryly.

"What else is new." Yusuke muttered, "Whatever. Leave Kurama the details and I have no doubt that Kuwabara will jump in out of pure boredom and we'll blackmail Hiei. Like always."

The prince sighed again, but knew that it would be pointless otherwise. So he did ask Yusuke stated.

00000

"Of course it had to be Tokyo." Yusuke grumbled, "I had to explain to Keiko that-"

"More like Kurama had to explain to Keiko." Kuwabara grinned.

"Shut it, Kuwabara!" The Mazuku gritted.

"I'm just surprised Runt-boy is gonna meet us there."

"Yeah, yeah, Kurama's magical that way."

"Tch. Your voices are enough to make my ears bleed."

"There you go, happy? Now, again, shut it! We're supposed to be looking for this girl, not scaring her off."

"We're in the middle of the city, Urameshi!"

"Kuwabara, we're going to the Higurashi shrine. The girl's mother was a priestess and the only priestess that's been obviously noted was Kagome Higurashi. On the day she turned 15, she disappeared, and started to show immense improvement on her purifying powers upon her return." Kurama calmly explained.

"So freakin what? I don't see why this is so important." Yusuke grumbled.

Kuwabara grumbled out something like "Idiot."

The redhead sighed and resisted the urge to smile as they continued on their way. They only stopped once they saw the archway.

"Freakin' stairs!" Yusuke found himself shouting, "What the hell is up with everyone and these long stupid staircases!?"

Hiei turned his attention towards his right, his red eyes narrowing.

Kurama and Yusuke immediately turned, too.

Kuwabara gave a shiver. "Uh, who's over there?"

That was when a small blur of white and red appeared in front of them. "No trespassers! Who are you?" A girl of about 6 years stood, pointing an arrow at them.

"Look, rugrat, we're on a mission to find someone." Yusuke announced, ignoring her arrow.

The little girl frowned at him with her brows furrowing. "I know and now I have to stop you."

"Listen, you brat..." Yusuke growled at her, taking a few steps forwards and she released the arrow at him. Yusuke was ready to catch it when another arrow hit in the middle, attaching it to a tree. "Izayoi Higurashi! What do you think you're doing?!"

The little girl's white dog ear twitched as she turned to the black haired woman dressed in white and red. "Mom, they were...

"They were walking up the shrine steps so they could talk to me about the Shikon No Tama." The woman stated with a sigh as she descended. "Really, I know you're confused and promised your father to look after us, but this is not the way. Not everyone or everything here is a threat."

"But Daddy said it was!"

The woman rolled her eyes, "Yes and your Uncle Sesshomaru still says that he doesn't care what happens and yet, if it wasn't for him, we would have been toast a long time ago."

The girl frowned back, "But-"

The woman dressed like a priestess with her black hair tied loosely at the back of her neck smiled at the strangers, "I'm Kagome Higurashi, my daughter Izayoi Higurashi is the one eager to put an arrow in you."

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Kurama and this is Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara."

The woman took her daughter's hand, "Go ahead and come up. My mother is making dinner. Luckily, she's made enough for a giant group of people."

So the four followed her up the steps and she led them into her home. "Mama, we have four more! At least three are teenage boys!"

"Okay, dear!" An answering call came from the kitchen and the sulking child huffed, "I'm gonna help!" and then she disappeared.

"Handful, I take it?"

Kagome turned brown eyes to Yusuke's own. "Oh, that's nothing. You haven't met my eldest yet. Or the people they've inherited these stubborn traits from."

Yusuke frowned, but sat down on the sofa anyway. The others followed suit.

"Why did you know we were here for the Shiki thing?" Yusuke asked.

Kagome let out a breath, "Shikon No Tama. And because I haven't been back to my own time in at least..." she put a finger to her mouth, "18 years. And then the Bone Eaters Well sort of just lit up and Izayoi, Michiko, myself, Rin, Sesshomaru, and, I believe, Kohaku got sort of sucked back into it."

"Wait, you mean..." Kuwabara blinked at Yusuke, who blinked back and the two shouted, "TIME TRAVEL?"

The woman nodded her head. "When I turned 15 I got pulled into the Bone Eaters Well because the Shikon No Tama was inside my body, uhm, basically, I was a reincarnation of Kikyo, who died 50 years before I arrived. Anyway, she burned with the Shikon and when I was born, it was inside me, I just didn't know it until I got dragged to the Feudal Era. When there, the same demon that dragged me in separated it from my body and, ultimately, a crow snatched it up and well," she coughed unpleasantly into her hand out of embarrassment, "it kinda got shattered when I attached the crow's foot to an arrow and shot it. Accidentally." She muttered, "Either way, I started to travel back and forth between Feudal Era to look for shards and this time, my time, until we were able to destroy Naraku once and for all and...the Shikon seemed to vanish from existence. Inuyasha brought me back home to see my family and the well just...snatched him away and I wasn't able to travel there anymore. Except for two years later, it allowed me one last travel, so I thought, and I chose to live in the Feudal Era where InuYasha and I got married and we've had two daughters." she finished as her mother brought it some snacks and drinks, "Thanks, Mama."

"No problem, Sweetie." she answered back and smiled at the boys before going into the kitchen again.

"So..." Yusuke started out, "You didn't think you'd see your family again?"

She closed her eyes and shook her head. "And that's why it was such a shock when the well lit up again. I had to find out why and now here we are. Again. So I figured this has something to do with the Shikon or another one came into existence somewhere."

There was silence and then a loud child cry of glee came from the kitchen in the form of , "Oji-sama!"

Kagome gave a faint smile and blew at her bangs, "Three. Two. One."

The door slammed open to reveal a tall man with golden eyes and long silver hair dressed in a white and pink flowered haori with plain white hakama and a yellow and blue sash tied around the waist of his armor with two swords on his left hip.

Kuwabara and Yusuke started to snicker. "What is he? A Feudal Lord?"

"Yes." Kagome stated as they noticed her daughter run out in front of the man singing, "Oji-sama, Oji-sama is baaaack!"

At the man's golden stare, Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped laughing and quickly swallowed down the rest of their humor as his eyes continued to just bore into them the same way Kurama's would. Somehow, his demeanor stayed quite dangerous despite the fact that the little girl was still running circles around him and only stopped to hug his leg for a moment, "I'll be back!"

"This is my big brother Lord Sesshomaru."

Those golden eyes then moved to Kagome, narrowing even more dangerously.

Kagome retained her innocent smile, "InuYasha's older brother, if you didn't get it."

"Ah." Kuwabara shifted uncomfortably at the murderous tension in the room.

Kagome stood, "Did Michiko go off on her own?"

"Hn. She is not my responsibility."

"I didn't say she was. So Rin and Kohaku still haven't been found yet?"

"Uh, didn't you mention them earlier?" Kuwabara frowned.

Kagome nodded, "Rin is Sesshomaru's daugh-"

"She is not my-"

"Daughter and Kohaku is pretty much her betrothed." Kagome smiled at the boys, again, easily ignoring the death glare she was getting.

"She is not my daughter." Sesshomaru repeated stoically.

"I have a husband, two daughters, a Rin, Jaken, and Sango...Okay, you know what, everyone but you that disagrees. Even Kaeda Baa-chan and Totosai are on my side! And the wolf tribe!"

"Hn. Ridiculous." He turned on his heel just as Izayoi ran back in, "Ta-da! Mama let me use the colored pencils! So I drew this, do you think Rin will like it? Oji-sama?" She followed him out the door.

Kagome sighed softly, "He's not big on manners."

"Yeah, reminds me of someone." Kuwabara grinned and shot a look at Hiei, who glared back.

"Why the hell is your daughter so obsessed with him? That seems unhealthy." Yusuke stated, making the elder shrug, "Children love him. Rin, Kohaku, Michiko, now Izayoi, and when they get the chance, so do the village children. Also, Sango and Miroku's. The only child that wasn't obsessed with him was Shippo. And, he is in such denial about it, but he's gone out of his way to save Rin and bring her gifts once she started to live in the village, just like a father would. Oh, and he adores Michiko in a weird way, respects Kohaku and Izayoi? He lets her get away with anything she wants. He saves them all the time when we can't."

"You sure about that?" Yusuke asked uncertainly.

"Of course I'm sure!" she yelled at the two with her hands on her hips. "You're not the ones who's seen him change over the years and you don't even know him!"

"Right." Yusuke muttered.

"Sorry." Kuwabara mumbled back.

"Geez." She sighed out.

"Mama, Mama!" Izayoi skipped back into the room with a happy grin, "Can I go with Oji-sama?! He won't let me unless you approve! Can I? Can I? Please?"

Kagome huffed at her bangs again, "You know the rules. Same applies here."

"Yay! Thank you, Mama. I'll spend time with Baa-chan when we get back!" She shouted over her shoulder as she flew out the door, making Kagome shake her head again.

"Well, what else did you guys need from us, anyway?"

Kurama closed his eyes, "Well, just that Prince Koenma, from the Spirit World, sent us here in search of your daughter because of the circumstances. He thought she'd be able to help with the Shikon No Tama."

"Not too likely." Kagome frowned, "Michiko and Izaiyoi are both only 1/4th demon, but their demon blood is so powerful that they go through this thing where they're completely human once a month. Only then do either of them have access to their purifying powers. They can't sense the jewel, though."

"So, in other words, we need your help?" Yusuke asked.

Kagome nodded, "Unless you can detect the jewel or have a way of recreating Kikyo or cloning my abilities."

"No. Probably. Yes." Yusuke answered with a shrug.

"All Koenma was wanting was a meeting." Kurama assured her. "He wasn't aware you already knew the situation."

She rolled her eyes.

00000000000

"Honey, dinner's done!" Mrs. Higurashi shouted from the dinning room as they gathered. "Souta's on his way back."

Kagome nodded, "It'll be great to see him. I'm sorry, Mama. Neither daughter is back yet and my brother in law is still looking for Rin and Kohaku. Well, they all are, but..."

"If he's anything like what you've told me, I'm sure they'll be found. Michiko seems determined."

"Oh, she is." Kagome agreed with a nod.

It was five minutes later when all but Mrs. Higurashi felt Sesshomaru's presence approaching at a retarded fast rate.

Kagome immediately stood, "This isn't good." She was out the door with the others behind her just as the demon lord materialized from a pink ball of light.

A girl about 16 or 17 with white hair and dog ears collapsed to her knees with an unconscious black haired young woman on her back while Sesshomaru held Kohaku's unconscious form with Izaiyoi letting go of his fur boa.

Kagome took a look at Rin first, "Lay her on her back. Kohaku, too."

The teenaged girl they all assumed to be Michiko, gritted her teeth at her mother, but the redhead stepped in, "I'll assist you."

Kagome nodded as they all laid the two down. "Looks like Rin just has minor cuts and bruises. Probably out due to shock." She then moved to Kohaku, "Probably because this one took the damage. Bruised ribs, dislocated shoulder." She mumbled and with Kurama's assistance, they managed to get the young man's shoulder back in place.

He gave a loud gasp and groaned. His eyes blinked open, "Lord Sesshomaru, where's Rin?"

Kagome quickly spoke, "She's right here. She's fine."

Kohaku sighed softly, his eyes rolling before going out again. Kurama caught him before the man got a head injury on the pavement.

The white haired teenager stood, rolling her shoulder. They noted that unlike her mother and sister, she wasn't wearing a red and white outfit. She wasn't even wearing hakama and haori. She was dressed with wooden sandals and a knee length pink kimono adorned with white dogs. She was shorter than either her uncle, mother, or grandmother. About an inch shorter than Hiei, even.

There was just a brief momentary awkward silence and then Kagome clapped her hands, "Well, we'll put Kohaku in Souta's room and then Rin in my old one."

Sesshomaru bent down and easily lifted Rin while Michiko rolled her eyes and Kurama went ahead and lifted the young man as Kagome lead them back.

"Those are the ones I told you about." Izaiyoi whispered at her sister, who sighed, "They can hear you, you know?"

The little girl pouted as her sister grabbed her hand, "Now, let's get food. I doubt you've ate enough."

Sorry for all the delays. This is going to be different than the first draft, but I'm not entirely sure by how much. Please let me know what you guys think on this as it's a revise/reboot, anyway. And to be fair I wrote the first story a long time ago now, so hopefully there's been a lot of improvement since then.

This will be my first publish in about 3 years. So again, very sorry, I've just been busy with life and trying to figure out this story and many more (A LOT are not even published and have been revised at least a hundred times now). I've also added the little sister because it seemed to make a bit more sense, at least to me, that InuYasha and Kagome have more than one by this point.
