"It's been three years today," Inuyasha thought while sitting in the Goshinboku. The first rays of the morning sun were starting to shine through the forest as the birds chirped their songs. Inuyasha however was in a more sour mood then he usually was. Since that day he lost Kagome in the well he fell into a deep depression that only seemed to be getting worse as the days past. Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard an approaching monk. "Go away Miroku, I'm not in the mood for any exterminations today." "Inuyasha I did not come to ask for help with exterminations I merely came by to see how you are, I know this is a very difficult day for you and I'm extending an invite to come over to our hut for some merriment." "I don't think so." Said the hanyou bitterly. "I thought you might say that, allow me to just leave this jug of sake here then, you deserve to drink your memories away on this sad day." With that Miroku took his leave. The hanyou watched him leave before jumping off his perch and studying the large jug his long time friend left him.
Later that evening Inuyasha sat against the Bone Eaters Well slumped over and smelling strongly of fine sake. "Kagome I wish you were here to enjoy this sake with me…. I wish you were here with me all the time…. In whichever time I don't care…. As long as I'm with you I'm home…. I have a purpose…. I can be happy… with you" The highly intoxicated hanyou said to no one in particular as he took another long draught from his jug. "If I was only man enough to say these things while you were still here maybe you wouldn't have left me." He thought to himself. He felt tears begin to form in his eyes. "Kagome can you ever forgive me? Are you happy there? Have you found someone else… have you forgotten me?" With that the hanyou lost all control over his emotions as tears freely fell over his cheeks. "Kami I would do anything, I would go anywhere if it means I can be with her." He suddenly stood up to look down into the well for the hundredth time tonight, except this time in his drunken state he leaned over too far and found himself falling in and being surrounded by the familiar blue light. "This has to be a dream." He thought "Even my own mind won't give me a break." Then he blacked out.
"Oh what a long day," Kagome said as she fell onto her bed that night. "But at least it kept my mind off of Inuyasha." She thought sadly. Kagome sat up on her bed then and grabbed a picture frame she kept on her night stand. It was a simple black frame and the picture inside of it was of Inuyasha the day she brought her new digital camera to the Feudal Era. He was sitting at the trunk of the Goshinboku with a slight smile on his dirt covered face. She smirked as she remembered how many times she sat him before she finally got him to smile for the camera. But the smirk didn't last for long as she bit her lower lip failing miserably to stop the onslaught of tears as they soaked her cheeks. Sobbing she fell back on her pillow clutching the picture frame close to her body. "It's been three years and it still hurts, oh Inuyasha why haven't you found me yet? I help so many youkai and hanyou here at the shrine, I've seen so many of our youkai friends but I haven't seen you. Did something happen to you? Or have you found someone else to love in the last 500 years….." With that Kagome shut off her light and went to bed still clutching the picture frame.
Inuyasha groaned as he was slowly becoming conscience from his drunken state. He slowly opened his eyes to discover it was still dark. But something was different and yet familiar. "Okay where am I?" he thought, "These sounds they sound so… familiar yet nothing I can distinguish. And these smells… this smell this… KAGOME?!" His eyes shot open as he realized suddenly where he was. "Am I in the future? How did I get here?" He wondered as he jumped out of the well and bolted out the door of the old well house. Sniffing the air he realized Kagome was in her room on the second floor of the house. "She was crying." He thought as he smelled the saltiness mixed in with her usual scent of vanilla and lavender. He rushed up the tree to her darkened window. Suddenly struck with nerves Inuyasha sat outside her window looking in to see if anything changed during all this time. Her room looked relatively the same except her desk was clear of those book things and papers. He looked over at the bed to see his Kagome sleeping clutching a picture frame close to her and the streaks of dried tears on her face. Inuyasha slowly opened the window as to not wake her and sniffed the air in her room. "Well all I smell in here is Kagome I guess that's a good sign that no other male was in here anytime soon." The worried hanyou thought. He slowly crawled inside and snuck up to his sleeping love. "Kagome you look even more beautiful then I remember." He smiled as he looked over her. Suddenly she rolled over in her sleep dropping the picture frame off the bed. Inuyasha gently picked it up curious to who it was she was thinking about before she fell asleep. He gasped when he saw his face in that frame and smiled "She was thinking about me after all this time." He quietly put the picture back on night stand before settling down on the floor against her window. "You're sleeping so soundly I won't disturb you besides we have the rest of forever to catch up." With that the hanyou soon fell asleep.
The alarm clock went off at exactly 8am. Kagome pounded the snooze button and turned over trying to fall back asleep. "I don't want to wake up I was dreaming about Inuyasha." She thought. She felt a chill suddenly as she realized her window was open. "Why is my window open I don't think I opened it last night." She gasped suddenly opening her eyes to see a familiar boy with white hair dressed in bright red looking at her from across her room. "Inuyasha is that really you?" She asked. He only nodded as he stood up and walked over to her. Tears brimmed her eyes as he sat down on the bed next to her. "Oh Inuyasha I missed you so much!" She exclaimed as she suddenly threw her arms around his neck. "Kagome, I missed you too. Kami I missed you so much!" Inuyasha said as he wrapped his arms around her and holding her as close to him as he could. "How did you get here?" asked Kagome. "I don't know," he said as he took in a deep breath of her scent, "all I remember was drinking sake in the Feudal Era and I woke up in the well and smelling your scent everywhere." He said tears forming in his eyes. Kagome smiled she pieced together what was happening. "The well worked again? That explains why you never found me until now." She said. Inuyasha looked at her with a confused look, "Keh What are you talking about?" "Oh Inuyasha so much has changed we discovered where modern day youkai are hiding and I've been using my miko power to help them lead normal lives here in the modern age." He looked at her with astonishment. "So that's why she was sent back here this time needs her." The shocked hanyou thought. Inuyasha pulled away from her just a little and looked into her beautiful deep brown eyes. "I can't believe this is all really happening." He thought as he leaned his face closer to hers. Their lips locked in a passionate kiss that sent waves of heat through both their bodies. He leaned her back on the bed so he was on top of her as he felt up and down her sides. Kagome moaned into his mouth as their tongues snaked into the other's mouth. Suddenly a knock on the door interrupted their moment. "Kagome are you getting up? We have things to do at the Birthing Center ya know." Said the old man on the other side of the door. Kagome shot up in the bed knocking the hanyou on the floor. "I'm coming Grandpa and I have great news to share with everyone!" she exclaimed. "Why did you have to push me off the bed like that wench!" cried the sexually frustrated hanyou. "Well now is not a good time to get to know each other… like that." Said Kagome, "I'll tell ya what lets just get through today and tonight we can hopefully have some time together okay?" "Keh fine whatever." He said.
Mrs Higurashi was setting breakfast on the table while Grandpa and Souta sat with their chopsticks ready. "Where is Kagome? Is she sleeping in again?" she asked. "I don't think she is I just knocked on her door and she sounded excited, said she had a surprise to show all of us." Grandpa said as he slurped his soup. "A surprise I wonder what it is" said Souta. Suddenly the family heard two sets of footsteps approaching the dining area. They all stopped and watched as the couple walked into the room. "Inuyasha came back through the well everyone isn't it great!" exclaimed a very chipper Kagome. "Hey" was all the hanyou could muster. "How did that happen? I thought the well was closed off?" asked Souta. "It is I checked it this morning with the charm Kagome made and it sensed no magical aura and it is indeed closed off." Said Grandpa. "Then how did he get here then? Obviously he traveled through time he's still wearing his feudal era clothes?" said Mrs Higurashi. "I doubt he even knows." Said Grandpa, "He reeks of alcohol and I don't even have a youkia sense of smell, get that boy in the shower already!" Inuyasha was sitting at the table eating rice and listening to the conversation happening before him. "Look guys the old man is right, I got a little…. Carried away with the sake last night and I don't how I got here but it looks like I'm stuck here." Said a confused Inuyasha. "I don't know where to go from here in this new world but as long as I'm with Kagome I can make due." Grandpa let out an exasperated breath, "Well you are in the right place I can tell you that much Kagome and I have quite the set up here for youkia and hanyou, you could say we started up a little family business." There was a sudden knock on the door and Souta excused himself to answer it. After a minute Souta came running back to the dining area. "Grandpa, Kagome the Hinotori's are here she's having strong contractions she needs help!" exclaimed Souta. "Get her to the Birthing Center Souta right away!" said Grandpa. "Kagome meet them there while I prepare the bassinets if I remember right she's having two." "Yes two babies I'm on my way over." Said Kagome as she stood up and started to run to the door. "I'll go with you to help" said Inuyasha, "No please stay here Inuyasha you just got here and would distract Kagome from her duties, besides you have a lot to learn in this new era it wouldn't hurt for a quick crash course on how things work now." Said Mrs. Higurashi.
Mrs Higurashi set a tray of tea down on the dining room table and poured some for Inuyasha. "It's been a crazy three years for us, Kagome has been such a blessing to so many since the well closed." She said. "So from what I gathered Kagome is helping youkia and hanyou somehow." Said the even more confused hanyou. Mrs. Higurashi nodded. "Yes a couple months after the well closed we went on a family vacation to the mountains. While we were there she started sensing demon auras all around us. We thought she might have had PTSD from being in the Feudal Era but she proved us wrong. She ran off deep into the mountains and found a whole village of demons hiding from the rest of the world. They were struggling and miserable being coped up in that small area of the mountains so ever since then she has been bringing them out of hiding and into this new modern world. She used her powers to make bracelets that hide youkia features so they look human and can have all the opportunities any average human here can achieve. We even have a birthing center right on the property now so the woman can deliver their hanyou or youkia children in private as to not shock the doctors when a youkia infant without their bracelet yet is born." Inuyasha didn't know what to say at first, he was so proud of Kagome doing all that for his kind. "She is absolutely amazing to do all this for youkia! Could she do the same to me? But how can I adapt to all this? It's so different. At least these youkia had an idea." Inuyasha thought. "Are you okay Inuyasha?" asked Mrs Higurashi. "Keh" he said. "I know this can all be pretty overwhelming but we will take it one step at a time and we consider you part of the family you will always have our help" she said. "Thanks. This is gonna be a challenge." he said. "You should also know that we have met some of your family that are still living after 500 years." Said Mrs Higurashi. "Keh! Who?!" exclaimed Inuyasha. Mrs Higurashi pondered, "Let's see Shippou visits us often, Kouga and Ayame come by every now and again and Sesshomaru and Rin are also frequent visitors." Inuyasha just stared wide eyed at this new found knowledge, "Sesshomaru and Rin? How can Rin be still alive?" he asked out of general curiosity. Mrs Higurashi smiled, "A long time ago after Rin reached maturity Sesshomaru marked her and her lifespan became connected to his. So as long as he remains alive so does Rin." Inuyasha blinked, "I'll have to remember that…" Suddenly his eyes became as big as saucers when he realized that he said that aloud. "I didn't mean to say it like that…" blushed the hanyou. Mrs. Higurashi giggled "It's okay you already have my blessing to mark Kagome." The hanyou just looked away turning red as a tomato. A sudden familiar mew sounded at the doorway of the dining area. Mrs Higurashi smiled at the small fire cat "Hello Kirara how goes the birth? Are they ready for some visitors?" "Mew." The small cat then noticed Inuyasha and ran towards him jumping in his lap and purring. "Hey Kirara its been awhile hasn't it" he said petting her on the head. "Mew" Mrs Higurashi stood up "Well how about we go to the Birthing Center and check on the new parents hm?"
"I can see the head just one more big push and baby number one is out." Kagome said. Hotaru shut her eyes took in a deep breath and pushed as hard as her demon strength allowed. "AHHHHHHHH KAMI SORATA WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" she yelled at the man sitting next to her. Sorata kissed his wife on her forehead and smiled "You can do this baby I love you." Grandpa suddenly cried out "Woman I know you're giving birth but can you please remove your talons from my shoulders! Some of us don't heal overnight you know!" Hotaru and Sorata Hinotori are Itsumade Youkia which are simply fire birds. Hotaru currently has her concealment bracelet off and her fire red shoulder length hair is drenched in sweat exposing more of her elven like ears. Her feet are similar to that of a hawk with dangerous talons. Her eyes resemble that of fire. Her husband Sorata has also took off his concealment bracelet for the moment. Wearing a grey suit with his bright orange hair tied into a short ponytail and deep red eyes filled with fear and excitement as he sat beside his wife. Suddenly a small whine filled the room. Kagome held up the new child "It's a girl!" she replied while handing her to Grandpa to be washed off. Tears filled Hotaru's eyes "A little girl? OH KAMI AHHH." Kagome rushed back to her spot under Hotaru "Here comes baby number two! He's already crowning!" Sorata gave his wife's hand a slight squeeze, "Just one more time baby and we're done." After two pushes a small infant quite literally flew out. Kagome caught him and held him up "It's a boy! A feisty little boy at that!" she grinned
Kagome stood in the Nursery and watched the two new youkai babies sleep when her Mother Kirara, and Inuyasha walked up to her. She quietly motioned for them to follow her outside of the nursery so they could speak without waking the little ones. Once outside they stood by the big glass window looking in Kagome's mother was the first to speak. "Oh my goodness two beautiful babes how did it go?" Kagome looked through the window "It went great Hotaru and Sorata are resting right now they had a boy they named Mitsou and a girl they named Kotori." Mrs Higurashi smiled "Such beautiful names are they born with their talons?" Kagome nodded "Yes they were born with all their youkai traits Hotaru did bleed but with her youkai healing she should be just fine after some rest." Inuyasha stared into big window at the two little infants, he noticed the one wrapped in a pink blanket had bright red hair and her eyes were open just enough to show her red iris rimmed with bright yellow. The baby wrapped in the blue blanket was starting to wake up his golden yellow hair was still a mess and he had matching yellow eyes rimmed in bright red. "how could they hide all those bright traits?" He thought. Kagome suddenly dug into the pocket of her green scrubs "Oh I almost forgot their bracelets!" She exclaimed as she walked back in the nursery. After placing the bracelets on their tiny wrist their hair turned black while their ears dulled down to look more human and their talons suddenly turned into feet. Their brightly colored eyes turned hazel. Inuyasha was shocked at what he saw "She just turned them human!" Kagome walked back out and saw the look of utter shock on the hanyou's face. "Don't worry Inuyasha they still have all their youkai traits it's just like a costume. It doesn't change their blood lineage any but they can easily blend in with humans like this." Inuyasha nodded but still wasn't completely satisfied. Mrs. Higurashi decided to take her leave and tend to the needs of the infants as Kotori started whimpering. Kagome looked at her hanyou "Are you okay Inuyasha you look upset." He looked up at her "Yeah I guess it just doesn't seem right that youkai have to hide themselves like this…" Kagome frowned "I know I feel the same way but I don't know what else to do. At least this way they have a chance at a normal life." Inuyasha walked up to her and wrapped his arms around Kagome. "Kagome what you're doing is amazing!" Kagome snuggled in his embrace. "I do what I can." An electronic sounding beat interrupted their moment as Kagome pulled the small noisy device out of her pocket and placed it up to her ear. "Hello Rin" Inuyasha looked at her confused this was defiantly going to be an adjustment… "Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I've been busy and forgot" pause "Okay no problem and hey bring Sesshomaru over too ummm Inuyasha came back last night, through the well." Inuyasha heard a high pitched scream sounding through the small device. "I don't know how Rin but he's here and it looks like he's gonna be staying." Pause "I know I couldn't be happier and I know Sesshomaru is going to be ecstatic!" Inuyasha was not quite sure he heard her right. "Okay so you two will be here at 5 then? Great! See ya then bye!" After tucking the device back into her pocket Inuyasha felt the need to remind Kagome of her brother's feelings about him. "Ya know Sesshomaru has tried to kill me before don't ya wench?" Kagome smiled at him "Yes I remember but it has also been 500 years since then and Sesshomaru has changed a lot since the Feudal Era. Rin has really softened his heart quite a bit. Sesshomaru and I have been working together to find out where you were, he misses you and realized that even though your half human your still his brother and he wants to make admends." Inuyasha blinked "This day just gets more and more confusing…."
