Chapter One

" Kagome! Kagome! Where are you? Kagome!" his sharp voice echoed throughout the house and woods, catching Kagome's ear. She knew what this meant; either danger or he was being the lazy dog he was. Has Kagome opened up a thick rug that separated their home from the forest she saw the small trickle of smoke coming off the fish and vegetables cooking on the stone grill?

"Why didn't you just flip it yourself?" she asked while she shot Inuyasha a dirty glare.

"Psh, 'cause you're the women?''

She walked over to the stone that rested in the middle of the flames and flipped the burnt fish and veggies, with a line of disappointment in her face. "Sit boy." behind her Inuyasha slammed into the ground.

As Inuyasha brushed the dirt off of his shirt he stared at Kagome. Even though it has been 20 years since she came back, she's still beautiful. Her hair has grown out and her face still youthful, of a young women; she was given a longer life span absorbed from Inuyasha when she had returned. Trading her school uniform in for a priestess robe, and her body began to change as well; it began to grow musical and tough-in up toward the life style she now lived.

Kagome walked over to the bell by the door way and tapped it a couple of times, and seconds later kids started pouring into the little opening to their home. The first to arrive was there two oldest sons, Taiki and Haru. Taiki held several sacks over his shoulder, the ends stained with the blood of tomorrow's dinner and several sacks tied to his belt, filled with berries and nuts. He's the eldest of the two, 19; he's strongly built and has the sight of a hawk from receiving Inuyasha's eyes. Haru is 17, and the opposite of his older brother. He walks into the clearing with his face and finger tips stained with the various different colors of berries, also staining his fangs the slightly poke out of his lips. He held several pouches on his belt filled with berries and nuts, most of them sagged around with the lack of food inside of them. He ate tons but was the size of a pole. They were nagging at each other about how much Haru's eating and how much they have for everyone else.

Next to enter the clearing is Hitomi, she's the only girl of the bunch, 15, and received the most odd traits from her parents. She had black hair with the mixture of white throughout her head and the white tips stained with a natural red, and ears poking out of the top of her head. She was dressed in her training clothes, a tight cloth wrapped around her breast to keep them out of the way and it proved to be an extra holster for smaller weapons. She was carrying various weapons with her: knives, swords, traps, etc... Though she is the only girl she has not seemed to pick up any of the feminine habits, instead taking a rather tom boy-ish quality.

Then came their youngest, Kyo. At age 8, he picked up most of everyone else's chores, which Kagome appreciated, but was slightly annoyed because he's the youngest doing everyone else's work. He walked into the clearing holding a large Landry basket filled with just washed clothes ready to dry. His hair was soaked and he was cheery and giggly. Everyone was protective of him because he didn't seem to acquire a useful trait from Inuyasha, he got a tail. It was long enough to touch the ground and that's all it did.

"So what are you all cheery about Kyo?" Kagome asked as he walked over to her to help him with the food

He gave a little giggle, "Well Shippo and Tora were helping me with the clothes and then they tackled me and pulled me in the water and we had this big water fight," he gave out another giggle, "it was funny."

Just then they walked into the clearing hand-in-hand. Once Shippo hit his teens he shot right up, he's still the lovely ginger that he's been, but its grown out to the length of his shoulder blades and has kept it there for the last couple years, he began training his body and different fighting methods that didn't involve his Fox Magic, which has also strongly improved, the surrounding trees are prof of this. He's around 6 feet tall and his body is very muscular and his tail is as fluffy as ever. His Eyes still s bright green. The person attached to his hand was Tora. She has short cropped hair and is very shy; she goes up to Shippos chest and is very petite. She has soft blue eyes, almost white. They met when Shippo saw her walking along the river side and then " bumped" into her at the villages herb shop, they've been inseparable ever since, and even more so since they've been married. They've been Newlyweds for about a month now.

They went and sat with the rest of the family around the blanket they all ate on, giggling about something. Hitomi said something to Tora, who was sitting across from her, and you could tell it was perverted because Tora's face became bright red and everyone else started to laugh. Shippo was holding back laughs as well, and shoving Haru who said something else. She was so innocent compared to Kagomes family, everyone loved her thou, and the more the teased her, the more they loved her. Kyo and Kagome brought over the food to everyone, and sat down.

"Dang Kagome, even when you torch the food you can still make it taste good." Shippo said, with more than half of his fish gone.

Then a piece of squished carrot lands on Kagomes face. Inuyasha cracks up laughing and so does everyone else. Then some carrots fly into Inuyasha's hair, Hitomi yelling "score!" then it completely broke out into a food fight.

"Dude, what the hell!" Haru screams at Taiki, with his hand full of food. "You already through your food, don't be stealing mine!" he bit Taiki's hand and he dropped all the food on the ground, "Damn it Taiki, food is for eating, you just wasted MY dinner!"

"Dude. Chill. You ate like 6 sacks full of berries and nuts! That would have lasted for several dinners." He says while holding his hand.

"Doesn't mean I'm full!"

"I'm sorry. Oh, Haru?

"What?" then Taiki's fist came slamming down on Harus head. "What the hell!" he screamed pulling his fist back.

Sango and Miroku~

Laughter broke through the air and muffled commands. Six people laid on Sango jumping up and down and tickling her. "Stop it, get off!", but they didn't listen to her. Three others stayed on the side lines laughing and crying.

"I'm serious guys, if you don't get off I'm going to make you do all the chores and no dinner!" Knowing that she'd really do it, they all got off of her. Miroku came over whipping tears from his eyes and trying to repress laughs, "Come on honey, lighten up, they were just having fun."

She glared at him, "You try having six large bodies jumping on you at once."

"Not all six bodies are full grown darling. Remember Chizu."

"Shut-up. I'm going to go clean up."

Miroku looked her over really quick, she had dirt smeared all over her face and leafs and sticks tangled in her hair. Her clothes were now grass stained and dirty and her breast... were... falling out. He felt himself get all hot. "I don't see why. You look perfectly fine..." Sango already started to walk away once she realized what he was looking at. He slapped her butt as she walked away and winked at her when she turned around to glare at him.

"Hey, kids! Come here!" he called out to the 8 surrounding people.

Sango was getting undressed and getting into the water to wash off all the dirt before it stuck to her hair again, the clothes were easier to clean up. She looked down at her breast, they have grown unexpectedly large along with her hips. They didn't look fat or bad, it gave her body a nice more defined curve to it, but she's lucky for this because most people who have had 8 kids would be completely demolished. She took out her hair from its bandana and releasing her hair into the water, it was still its milk chocolate color, just slightly lighted up from working in the sun more than before. As she bathed she thought about Miroku, as he grew older he became even more attractive, and they still haven't lost their fire.

Sango was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't hear anyone approaching, until they slammed down in the water around her, she pulled out her knife that she always kept on her ankle, then she saw the head pop out of the water. Chizu. She's the youngest of the 8, she was the cutest little five year old that she's seen. She has dark brown hair almost black, with hazel eyes peeking out of her hair always giving a greenish tint. When Sango lifted her head from looking at Chizu, she saw the others. They're all running down the hill stripping in the process, Miroku behind them laughing, and she saw why right away. They were all covered in mud and had gigantic piles in their arms.

Leading the pack was Jiro, he's 19 and just loves to lead these kinds of expositions, underneath all the mud he has large musicals and jet black hair that spikes up but the mud weighing it down and she had to admit, the mud pad made his intense blue eyes pop out, but she was still going to kill them all. Following him were her two eldest, Kichi and Ami, they were the hardest to birth since they were her first, at age 22 they were the best healers in the surrounding villages. They are a mirror image of each other, and a very strong resemblance to her, but had their father's eyes. Then behind them came Hiroshi, Chika, and Yukio. Hiroshi was the eldest of the three, 17 and was an amazing fighter but never liked to and avoided it as much as possible, but he was extremely thin, long limbed, and very fragile looking. His brown hair was swiped out of his eyes- which is a first since it always covers his eyes. Chika and Yukio are twins at age 15, they both look like their father, Chika's hair was very long and Yukio's was close to his head. Even though Chika is a girl she's got her father's attitude and very perverted personality, so she was the first one to get undressed, while Yukio was one of the last ones to get undressed. They're stuck to each other like glue and were excellent fighters, training each other in the others weaker subjects. Then came Tomi, he carried the least amount of mud, they must of taken it from his stash, since he was the one that made most of the pottery and dishes and sculpted many things that he took down to the towns on market days, he was very well known for his artistic ways. He was also covered in the least amount of mud and the last one to get undressed, he was probably forced into this. He still had some baby fat on his face, but for a 12 year old he was the smartest (in Sango's opinion).

Sango began to run the opposite way from them and grabbed Chizu so she wouldn't be drowned from the oncoming stampede, but of course they ran faster than she could in water.

Everyone sat on the side of the lake bruised with bumps all swelling up and with everyone dressed. Sango stood over them pacing in front of them and making sure to make eye contact with each of them, especially Miroku. She had mud dripping off the top of her head and on to her already dirty clothes, " Now that we've had our fun bonding time, we get to go have dinner, oh, wait! I get to have dinner while everyone else gets to clean the house, garden, laundry, and watch ME eat."

That's exactly what happened. She ate and followed them around to tell them that they missed something, even though it was very clear that they didn't. And she was looming over Hiroshi when it happened. The sky went black, and the sun disappeared, in its place came a white glowing light that grew brighter and brighter.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled into the black woods. After the light came, she woke up on the ground and their home was gone and everyone else with it, "Inuyasha! Where are you?"

" IS that you Kagome." it was a female's voice, and one she recognized easily.

" Sango!"
