lostmoonchild: I know, I'm mean. I promised that this story would be up and running after a week or maybe a month and it's now January of 2008. I'd simply be procrastinating the story further with an excuse so here's the prologue. I don't own Inuyasha, YYH, or anything else unless I say otherwise so don't sue!
PROLOGUE
A laugh escaped a twelve year old girl's lips as she ran around in circles, a kitsune child chasing after her. "Come on, Shippo! Don't be slow!" Hana cried laughing.
Shippo grinned and jumped at Hana, careful that he didn't cut her with his claws. Laughing, the two fell to the ground and wrestled around. "Hana! Shippo!" Kagome called.
The two jumped off the ground and took off towards the house. "INU-PAPA!" Hana shouted jumping on Inuyasha's back. "PIGGY BACK!"
"Piggy back!" A couple small children around two chanted running around Inuyasha while a third laughed, following his brothers.
"KAGOME! HELP!" Inuyasha shouted about to fall over.
Kagome laughed and watched her mate and their children with an amused look. It was hard to believe that it had been only two years since Naraku's death since everybody seemed to be doing so well. Sango and Miroku had a one year old baby boy they had named Kohaku after the child Sango nearly adopted but lost and the taijiya's younger brother. They were even adopting a little girl that had been named Naomi but the little girl wouldn't be placed in Miroku and Sango's care for a while yet.
Inuyasha and Kagome's own child, Kano, was two years old and full of energy. The two infants they had adopted were named Shuichi and Kage, and were two years old as well. Shippo and Hana both accepted the roles that came with being older siblings and often chased after their little brothers around trying to keep them out of trouble.
"You guys ready to go?" Sango questioned with a smile, laughing when baby Kohaku grabbed Miroku's hair and pulled sharply.
"Yeah, I think so." Kagome said, laughing when Inuyasha fell over. "INUYASHA! Be careful or you're gonna end up landing on one of the kids."
Inuyasha muttered something under his breath and made an innocent face when he got tackled by five kids. "Okay, pups, let's go. Your mom's ready to go." Inuyasha said managing to get up.
Hana smiled a little and picked up Shuichi and said, "We're going to go see your grandma and grandpa. Then we're going to go see your great aunt and our cousin along with their friends and our little cousin who's your age."
Shuichi laughed and squirmed as they all walked to the well. "Hana, you realize that mama did say that your mother is back, right?" Kagome asked with a worried look. "You don't have to come if you don't want to."
Hana shook her head a little and said, "You're my mom now, Ka-ka. You always have been, ever since I was a little girl you were my mom."
Kagome smiled a little and nodded a bit showing she was okay. "Alright, honey, if you're sure." Kagome answered, her eyes showing a small amount of worry.
"I'm sure." Hana answered.
Taking a deep breath, they jumped over the side of the well and felt time pull them forward five hundred years.
lostmoonchild: ooh... how will Hana handle her biological mother being back? She sounds so confident but maybe she's trying to fool Kagome. Who knows? Certainly not me. Anyway, read and review, flames are accepted.
