I had a request of pairings, and since it was a guest reviewer i was unable to respond via pm. the pairings thus far are much like the original story. InuyahshaxKagome, SangoxMiroku. YusukexKeiko, YoukoxMoriko, KuramaxSan. There is a slight SesshomaruxMoriko, but I can't really define that pairing without giving away the story. I will also be posting this in the reviews for anyone who may not see this here. Thanks.

"And that is how the half demon was put under the priestess' spell and for 50 years, he was in a deep sleep."

Kagome paused in her steps as she shut the well house door and spotted a small group of children and their parents transfixed by her grandfathers tale. Little "oohs" and gasps followed as he made a grand showing of the God tree, pointing out the exact spot where the demon was sealed. She shook her head at his antics and proceeded to the house. He was obviously in his element, and once he got going it was hard to make him stop.

"After 50 years the seal was mysteriously broken by a very powerful Miko. Some say her powers rivaled even the great Midoriko's, and after she broke the spell he was under she placed a subduing spell on the half demon, thus rendering him harmless to her and others."

"Oi old man! How do you know he was harmless and not just a total wuss?" A small boy piped up, clearly having fun poking at the story.

Kagome snorted and choked down a laugh, suddenly very glad Inuyasha decided to stay in the feudal era this time. No doubt he would've ripped the kid a new one for that comment or most likely would've scared the kid shit-less. She was leaning more towards the latter of the two. Ever since the jewel had been completed, more and more stories had popped up about the tale of the Hanyou and the Miko. Many books were written and even a few movies were made. And everyone of them had something slightly wrong about the storyline. More often then not she found herself breathless with laughter as she read the books and watched the movies. She smirked as she recalled how Inuyasha's eyes bugged out at the news. Kagome read him some of the stories and even played a few of the movies for him, and every time they would portray him as either a wuss or a completely feral being. Yeah, he hadn't been too happy about that, as a few TVs hadn't survived his claws.

Her grandfather then decided to jump on the money bandwagon, spouting their shrine was the one where it had resided way back when. He even roped Kagome into it by having someone write scrolls of the many adventures and tales over there and bring them back to display for all to see, much to her dismay. The old man had a bad habit of boasting and bragging too much and every time someone poked holes into his stories she felt a spiteful bit of glee at seeing him sputter. It was rather disrespectful of her, but sometimes the old coot needed to be brought down a peg or two and seeing him at a loss for words was just too damn hilarious to pass up.

"Because my dear boy," Kagome noticed he seemed to force the words out through gritted teeth, a sign he was getting flustered, "Though he was a hanyou, this one was said to have descended from royalty, so his demon blood was very powerful indeed."

"If he was so powerful, then how was he subdued in the first place? I still say he was a wimp to fall under another spell."

"Oh, but this spell was special. An enchanted necklace was placed upon him and whenever he misbehaved all the Miko had to do was say one word to bring him down."

"Oh yeah? What was the word?"

At that Kagome narrowed her eyes and glared at the old man catching his eye. He shrunk back from the look and stammered for a minute. While they had some scrolls of the tale, Kagome, her mother and Kaede all agreed that too many details would make people suspicious and bring too much attention to their shrine. If there were any demons in this era, they didn't need to advertise that perhaps the jewel was real instead of an old legend. Especially since the jewel was still around, albeit in a dormant state, but they didn't need to tempt fate, as it were.

"S..Say have you all been to the gift shop yet? We just got in some lovely Shikon jewel key chains that are 50 percent off!" Her grandfather practically shouted at the group, drowning out any more questions from the overly inquisitive boy and ushered them into a small building.

Kagome sighed as she stepped into the house and was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of her moms home cooking. Inhaling deeply, Kagome smiled as the familiar warmth seeped deep into her bones and she immediately relaxed. Though her true home was in the past now, nothing could ever compare to the place she grew up. It was a place of comfort and respite and she cherished each and every memory the place held for her. She wasted no time kicking off her shoes, tossing her bag onto the floor and sped into the small kitchen where the mouthwatering aroma was wafting from.

"Mom, I'm back!" she proclaimed, throwing her hands out in grand fashion as she skid to a stop on the linoleum. Her mothers smiling face looked up from the stove and that familiar feeling of warmth tripled. Kagome would never get tired of seeing that smile, the one that always seemed to chase her worries away.

"Kagome, dear, it's so good to see you!" her mother said as she wiped her hands on her apron and embraced her oldest child. Pulling back, she tenderly brushed some fly away hairs on her head and kissed her forehead gently. Kagome may have been 18 now, but to her mother she would always be that small little girl constantly getting into mischief. Three years had gone by since the defeat of Naraku and the jewel had been completed finally. The final battle was intense, but in the end they managed to overpower the spider and finally obliterate him from existence, much to everyone's relief.

Misuki remembered that day well, when Kagome and Inuyasha limped through the front door looking ragged, clothes ripped and multiple injuries on both of them. But what stood out in her mind was the smiles on both of their faces. They were clearly exhausted, and in dire need of baths, but they were happy and so relieved that everything had turned out alright in the end. After fussing over both of them, shoving them both into a bath and stuffed them full of food, all three family members sat down and listened to the epic tale. More then once she had to stifle a gasp as a truly terrifying moment was relayed. She couldn't believe how brave her little Kagome had been, facing down an evil like that and coming back the victor, but she couldn't have been more proud of her in that moment. After all, it wasn't everyday that your child saves the world from a dire future. And there was no doubt that whatever future would've resulted from Naraku surviving in some shape or form, would've been dire indeed. Misuki shuddered to even think of such a thing.

Since then Kagome had graduated from high school, but insisted that her true future (no pun intended) belonged in the past with the new family she'd acquired. At first Misuki had been extremely sad thinking she would never see her little girl again, but Kagome put all their fears to rest. By pure accident they found out that Kagome had the ability to control the well and it answered to her alone. So if she willed it to stay open for all eternity then it would.

Even though Kagome trusted the well to stay open, Inuyasha wasn't as trusting, at least not at first. So for at least 6 months, whenever she came to see her family he would be right beside her stuck to her side like a barnacle. It was almost as if he didn't keep an eye on her she would vanish before his eyes. After a while though he became convinced that the well wouldn't close and eventually let her visit her family by herself most times, though he still tagged along the majority of the time. Much to her daughters frustration and her amusement. It took a long time to get to this point and everyone was relieved thinking they could get on with their lives and move on, leaving the past firmly behind them. It was almost like the world gave a collective sigh.

"Hey mom? You ok?" Kagome waved a hand in front of her mothers face, snapping her back into reality.

"Hmm? Oh yes, just reminiscing about the past is all, and thinking about how grown up my baby is." She replied with a grin at her daughters scoff. Misuki rubbed her nose on Kagome's briefly, something they used to do back when she was little. "You will always be my baby young lady. Now, what would you like to eat? I had a feeling you would be stopping by so I made your favorite!"

Kagomes eyes widened as she squealed out what sounded like were supposed to be words. "ODEN!?"

"Guess that answers my question if Kagome's home or not," an amused teenage boy sauntered into the kitchen, but stopped short when Kagome launched herself at him.

"Gah sis...come on..OW...watch the hair!" Souta whined as he tried to fend off an overly affectionate sister.

He was still in his early teens, all gangly as his body developed and a slight crack could be heard in his voice. Her baby brother was growing up, but she never wasted an opportunity to remind him who was the oldest as she gave him a hard noogie successfully messing up with spiky raven hair.

Kagome pulled back, both breathless from their little exchange and gave her brother a soft smile.

"You're getting so big. Soon you'll be taller then me and I wont be able to tackle you without a step stool," she teased.

He smiled back as he picked her up and swung her around in a circle, child-like giggles burst from her and she clung to him. He brought her back down and wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace. They always teased each other relentlessly, but in truth they were thick as thieves and they treasured each encounter like it would be their last.

The silence was broken as Kagome pulled back a little and tousled his hair once more for good measure, smiling at the grumbling from Souta.

"You look more and more like dad everyday. You'll be a handsome man when you get older bro," Souta stopped trying to fix his hair and blushed deeply. He was still such a shy young man, but he was growing in confidence everyday.

"T...Thanks sis," He mumbled.

"Ok you two time for dinner. Go wash up and I'll set the table." Misuki announced.

As they both scrambled out the kitchen door, Kagome paused. "Hey mom, do you want me to go get gramps?"

"There's no need sweety. Tonight is his poker night and he will be out til at least ten."

"But I just saw him outside not ten minutes ago."

Misuki chuckled, "He came in and left while you and your brother were busy tussling."

Kagome grinned cheekily and flounced away, "You know I can't resist tackling my baby bro!"

Misuki smiled as she heard more grumbling from her son and giggles coming from the open bathroom door. Yes, things were definitely settling down alright and deep down she hoped it would stay like this for a long time.

Dinner had been entertaining, with Kagome telling them of Shippo's latest pranks on Inuyasha, Miroku's cursed hand still finding it's way to Sango's bottom and her weapon in return meeting his thick skull. Misuki often mused that it was a miracle the monk had any brain cells left with every blow to the head Sango seemed to give him. Kagome just wondered how he hadn't gotten a concussion yet. Every time Kagome came home they made it into a family night of sorts. So after dinner they all crowded around the TV watching movies and just enjoying each others company.

Kagome threaded her fingers through Souta's hair, pulling him closer to her as she sighed deeply, content for the moment. He was in his usual spot on the floor between her legs against the couch. The floor littered with pillows and blankets, Misuki curled into Kagome's side dozing lightly. Souta was just about to join his mother in sleep when the fingers tightened in his hair, earning a yelp from him as he jerked out of her grasp and turned to yell at her to be more gentle. He stopped however when she seemed frozen to the spot, breathing erratically, her eyes wide. Having been jerked awake Misuki and Souta sat dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening.

Kagome gasped, arching clear off the couch and both her mother and brother gasped with her as her eyes started to glow a brilliant purple. A rhythmic thumping assaulted their ears and they noticed the purple glow in her eyes seemed to thrum in time with the thumping. With a start they both realized that it was her heartbeat they were hearing and it was speeding up, dramatically. Misuki grabbed at her daughter frantically trying to get her to lay down, while Souta helped.

"What's going on? Why is she glowing? What's happening to my baby?!" Misuki wailed.

They were just about to call for an ambulance when the thumping stilled and an eerie calm descended around them. But somehow they knew that wasn't the end of it, so they braced for whatever was coming next and thank god they did. A shock wave burst from Kagome's body sending them sprawling back from her as she seemed to rise in midair for a split second. Time seemed to stand still as Souta and Misuki watched Kagome descend back onto the couch gently. They sat there, stunned and panting, trying to process what had just happened. Both crawled gingerly over to the young woman and crouched over her figure. She looked for all the world like she was resting peacefully, her breathing was even and deep. But before they had time to process anything, they were jerked back as Kagome gasped loudly drawing in a deep breath and sat up quickly, successfully scaring the wits out of her family. Yet again.

Souta licked his dry lips as he found the courage to speak, "K..Kagome? What was..."

"The Jewel?!"

Misuki, who now stood next to her daughter had reached out to comfort her. "What was that dear?"

Kagomes wide eyes, now thankfully back to their normal blue color, turned to them, "THE JEWEL?!"

"What about it?"

"Somethings wrong with it. I can feel it again, but this time it feels like its not whole," her eyes widened further, "Just like when it shattered that time..." she whispered out. Before anyone could ask anything further, she scrambled up and raced for the door, only pausing to slip on her shoes before tearing out into the night.

"Young lady where are you going? You should be checked out! There could be something really wrong!"

"I have to see for myself! I have to check on the jewel Momma!"

Souta and her mother watched as she wrenched open the well house doors and wasted no time jumping into the deep well. The magic swirled into a blue cyclone and rose up to meet her body as it hurled her towards the past. Something was very wrong, and she needed to find out what it was. She just hoped it wasn't what she thought it was.

As soon as her feet hit the ground she launched herself out of the depths of the well faster then she had ever done before and sprinted back to the village intent on finding Inuyasha. But before she could even get half way there she was ambushed by a harried group all shouting her name. Sango, Miroku, Inuaysha and Shippo all bounded up to her and not giving them a chance to speak she blurted out, "Somethings wrong with the jewel, isn't it?"

They all nodded, Sango, having caught her breath, started talking over the others. Shippo launched himself into her arms and clung to her neck desperately and she was taken aback she she felt him shaking slightly before she wrapped her arms around him and looked to Sango.

"I was in the Slayers village doing maintenance on my weapon when I heard a humming sound coming from the caves direction. I was just about to go investigate when a shock wave blew me back and an explosion of light surrounded the sky. An orb of purple rose into the sky and I knew then that it was the jewel."

Kagome gasped, "It shattered again didn't it?"

Sango nodded in affirmation.

"But I don't understand..." Kagome murmured. The jewel was dormant, not to mention behind Midoriko's protective barrier, how could this have happened?"

"Keh," Inuyasha scoffed, his arms folded into the sleeves of his haori, "We don't know wench, but we do know that whoever shattered the jewel this time is more powerful then Naraku could've ever dreamed to be if they managed to get behind such a powerful barrier."

Miroku, who had been quiet until now, inserted calmly, "Seems as though our journey is far from over my friends, for we face an evil even more sinister then the one before," his voice was miles away as he gazed into the sky. Kagome felt a shiver run through her body at the eerie wind that followed his words, knowing that he was right.
