Kagome sucked in a breath as she desperately tried to cling onto Shippo and Kirara, watching as the others also tried to cling onto each other and create a huddle as they were pulled through a large vortex. She glanced at her hands, watching as the bandages wrapped around them both, which trailed up to the middle of her arm tried to peel themselves away at the high speed they were travelling at, she really hoped they didn't come undone, as she didn't wish to see the scars that laced them.

The black and purple space they were traveling through seemed to be littered with stars, flying by too fast for any of them to really notice or count them, they were insignificant at the speed they were going for, when suddenly she saw something. A bright light.

"Brace yourselves!" She called out as they approached, taking note that they did as she told them to, she quickly curled her body around the young fox and the Nekomata to decrease the damage done to their small bodies.

Just as soon as she did that, they were all violently tossed out onto a hard floor. She felt herself groan in pain, but didn't hear it over the groaning of the others. Carefully setting the two aside to get their bearings, she sat up, before sending a glare in the direction of Miroku.

"I do hope you have some sort of explanation for..." She made a gesturing motion to the entire room. "This!" She exclaimed rather annoyed before pulling her hands down again and tightening the bandages, making a mental note to buy more as they were turning a nasty shade of brown. She watched as Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha all sat up as to let the spinning in their heads stop. A while ago they had sorted out the way the pack worked and it had turned out that she ended up becoming pack leader, so it was her job to make sure everyone was safe. Kagome watched as Sango re-secured her Hiraikotsu and glared at the monk.

The sound of a throat clearing made them all aware of where they were, Kagome finally taking a check of her surroundings, a large what seemed like a portal was looming over them, before a confused voice of someone she knew quite well spoke out.

"Kagome?" Slowly turning her head, she came face-to-face with two confused children, an equally confused man in a green shirt which had a question mark on it and two similar looking men staring at them, one looked like he had come out of a post-apocalyptic world and the other, her great uncle... Letting out a groan, she allowed herself to lay back on the ground, closing her eyes, she let out a huff.

"Kagome-sama, you know these people?" Miroku asked her, he had edged away a bit as to not get hit by either of the girls, or Inuyasha.

"Yes, I do." It was only after that sentence that Kagome realized they were still speaking Japanese and the fact that none of the others spoke English. From what Kagome could tell, that is what they needed to speak, as she listened to the two kids frantically worry about what the heck had just happened.

She blinked, then she laughed. Sitting back up, she looked around.

"So, America, right? And what's with the creepy portal?" She questioned the con-artist in English now, he still had a shocked look on his face from when Kagome and her group were tossed out and onto their basement floor, just before the large machine had shut off. She noticed her group looking confused and turned to address them in Japanese once again. "Family." She uttered before turning to look at the others once more, feeling their understanding radiating off them.

"H-how?" Was the only thing that came out of his mouth, rolling her eyes, she answered him.

"I don't know, ask the monk." She said, before gesturing towards the male in robes. He squinted at her before turning to the man and to the shock of everyone but the group of Japanese people, spoke fluent Japanese.

"So, care to explain?" He asked, his gazed set on the robed male who seemed to sweat under the pressure.

"A-ah, you see, sir, I am just a humble monk, traveling with his group of friends." Sango snorted from next to him.

"Humble my ass." Inuyasha muttered, causing Kagome to let out a little giggle. Swallowing, Miroku answered his question.

"We were battling a Witch, the only way out was to cast a rather risky spell. I was unsure of where we would land, but I guess it's safe here, I mean, Kagome-sama knows you, and says you're her family! S-so, please stop looking at me like that..." He gulped as he backed away slowly.

"Hey, guys, what are we going to do about the government people?" The young boy asked the people gathered in the dark room, huffing, Kagome got to her feet and made her way over to her great uncle.

"Government? Again? What did you do this time?" She questioned him, standing up to her full and not very effective height, as he was taller than her, squinting, she noted that he had gained another wrinkle since the last time she had saw him. She made a mental note to tease him about it later.

"What do you mean again, miss Kagome, was it?" Turning around, she faced the one person she'd never thought that she would meet, ever.

"Don't call me 'miss' I get enough with Miroku over there." She once again jabbed her thumb in the direction of the monk. "Calling me 'Kagome-sama' and I mean again, because he's had a lot of troubles in the past, got himself banned from multiple U.S states, I don't know how, there's also a huge manhunt for him going on back in Japan."

"Wait, was all this under my name, Stanley?" He questioned his twin, Kagome moved herself out of his way as he walked over to his twin. Giving a sigh, she noted the worried looks on not only her pack's faces, but the children and the man who was stood in the corner and out of the way, she decided to intervene.

"You know, as much as I'm up for listening to two old men having a go at each other, I'm certain that the whole government ordeal should be dealt with first." She spoke up, making sure they heard her, and waiting for them to nod in agreement and get on with whatever it was that they needed to do.

Kagome was sure she'd need some painkillers for the headache that she was starting to get from all of this.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Kagome huffed at the large group that was sat in the rather small living room, they had gotten rid of the government agents and had all introduced themselves. Her pack was sat on one side of the room, and her family on the other side.

"So let's get this straight." She muttered. "You." She pointed at Stanford. "Built a possibly world or even universe ending machine in your basement, had an argument, no, a fight with your brother." She sent a look at Stanley. "Then got pushed through and into another dimension?" She waited for his nod. "So you." She pointed at Stanley this time. "Spent 30 years trying to get him back? Even though it could have meant the end of us all?" She questioned him. He gave a halfhearted nod. Sighing, Kagome sat down next to Sango and placed her head on her shoulder, allowing some moral support to come through from her pack sister. Even though they didn't understand what they were saying, they knew it was important, so let them talk.

"Although you left out the part where you and your, uh, friends, came crashing through after." Groaning, Kagome stared at the wall in front of her.

"Before I tell you anything else, I need to know the date." Kagome stared at him, not giving this up.

"I-it's July 30th 2013, why?" Closing her eyes, Kagome sighed in relief.

"10 days, it's only been 10 days." She muttered under her breath in Japanese, her pack understood what she meant and Stanley caught on to what she whispered in the foreign language, but didn't say anything about it, with what she was muttering, it was best to let her tell them in her own time.

Lifting her head from Sango's shoulder, Kagome stared at her pack, what had become her makeshift family as they encountered another part of her blood family.

"We need to go back. Naraku's still out there and we don't know what he's planning." There were murmurs of agreement, the question was. "But how?"
