PROLOGUE

Akito Sohma growled as she leaned over the well, picking up her lantern and holding it tightly.
"Kagome-san, this cannot be possible.."

Kagome Higurashi smiled a bright smile and her long black hair blew in the wind.
"I can assure you it works, Akito-kun. I use it quite often!"

Akito scoffed. "Whatever. Give me the keys to the shrine. I'll examine it in the morning further."

Kagome filled the god's hands with a key to the shrine that her Grandpa took such good care of, hoping that the god would have something in return for the exchange. Akito did nothing but smile.
"Thank you, Kagome-San. Much appreciated. The boys will never know what hit them."

CHAPTER ONE

Kyo Sohma rolled his eyes as his junior Momiji went on and on about how he met a pretty girl at the supermarket.

"Hatori! It's true! She looked just like Tohru!" the rabbit called to the dragon, nearly bouncing with joy.

Tohru Honda was a fine young woman about Yuki's age that was a great friend to the Sohmas. Momiji was very fond of her, and was excited at the fact that the girl may have been her.

"It was years ago, brat," Kyo spat, silencing the rabbit, "She left years ago with that damn rat."

Momiji sighed. "What if she came back?"

Hatori stood in the doorway, leaning against the side and staring at the boy now crying on the floor. He looked with kind eyes at Kyo, who was harshly glaring at him as well.

"Kyo, please... We don't want another repeat of last year."
Kyo huffed. "Fine."

"Oooohhh KYOONNNN-KYOOONNNN!"

Kyo's eyes widened as he tightened his fists.
"Hide! It's Kagura!"

Momiji went from crying to laughing in a matter of seconds as the boar came storming in, wrapping her arms around the cat and squealing loudly.

"Kyon-Kyon! Oh, I missed you so much! I love you! ILL NEVER LET YOU GO!" Kagura shouted, bouncing up and down almost as much as Momiji did.

Kyo snarled, shaking her off and grabbing his head in his hands. Ever since Tohru left with Yuki and got married, he never hears the end of Kagura Sohma. It's always "Marry me, Kyo!" and "I love you, kyon-kyon!" He hated every minute of it. He wanted Tohru...

"Kyon-kyon! I've got two tickets to the movie tonight! Go with me!"

Kagura, now 17, was much taller than the 19 year old Kyo and much stronger. After Tohru left with Yuki, Kyo really saw no need to go back to the mountains to train anymore. The rat had gotten the one thing he cared about: the girl. Yuki Sohma won.

"I don't want to go with you, Kagura..." Kyo whined, turning away. The girl didn't take no for an answer..

"WHY NOT? YOU WILL LOVE ME, KYON-KYON! YOU WILL!"

A dark cloud seemed to go over them as Kagura went to black, picking Kyo up and slamming him down onto a table, breaking it in half.

"Ow! Okay! I'll go with you!" Kyo shouted in pain. Instantly, Kagura stopped and giggled.

"Yay!" she hugs him gently and sets him aside, still groaning in pain.

Momiji laughed and gave Kagura a high five. Hatori scoffed. Kyo was still on the floor.

"What's going on here, Hatori?"

Akito's warm, terrifying voice caused all action to stop. Hatori turned to see the god dressed fully in a crimson kimono with her hair down and short.

Akito was an aging woman now, about the age of thirty-Five, but still remained beautiful. Hatori was right under her at thirty, but the wear and tear pressure of being the Sohma doctor had aged him quite a bit.

"N-nothing, Akito-Sensei. We were just-"

"Fighting again? Not tolerable."

Hatori hung his head, sighing.

"I've come up with a solution to the poor Sohma conduct.. Would you all come with me for a moment?"

It was then that Hatori spotted Ayame and Hatsu-Haru behind her, heads down and arms crossed. For once, the aging Ayame had a serious expression on his face.

"Where are the others?"

"We will go get them. Please follow.."

So they did, Momiji taking the place beside Hatsu-Haru and Kyo limping in line behind Ayame. The rest followed behind.

"Haru?" Momiji asked, worriedly trying to make his best friend look at him. Haru did nothing.

The boys were about 18 now, but Momiji was still Momiji, and Haru was still Haru. They had their versions of quiet.

Akito took them all through a long dark hallway and passed several rooms through the Sohma house. Shigure was still nowhere to be found.
