"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout the shrine waking those who were still sleeping, one of those being Ms. Higurashi who immediately jumped into 'worried mother mode.' 'That was Kagome screaming,' she rushed down the stairs and into the living room only to see a completely stupefied Souta just staring at nothing.

"Souta? What happened?" Ms. Higurashi asked moving closer to her son, worried by the look on his face.

"It's… real?" Souta was still dazed by just the thought to the point that he didn't even notice his mother standing right in front of him until she gave him a little shake. "Souta?"

"Huh? Oh, mom." He said finally coming out of his surprise induced trance.

"Souta, I heard Kagome scream what's going on?" She asked, ignoring grandpa Higurashi as appeared in the room waving his 'sacred sutras' around in the air and throwing them everywhere.

"Uhhhh…" Souta wasn't sure what to say, what do you say when your older brain surgeon sister randomly grows a tail out of nowhere. How does her brother explain the situation to their mother?

"Uhhhh…" he started again he was having a hard time wrapping his mind around the fact his sister grew a tail overnight, that's when it hit him. "Wait, Kagome?" he asked turning to where his sister had been just a moment ago and she was gone, she wasn't there. "Huh?!Where'd she go?!"he began to panic his sister disappeared! First, she grows a tail and now this? 'My life sucks,' were the words that immediately came to mind.

"Don't worry Souta she's probably just freaked out by whatever it is that made her scream. So what was it that made her scream, in the first place?" she tried again only to receive a blank stare in return.

"Um… It would probably be easier just to show you but first, we have to find Kagome she moved so fast I didn't even see her.

Five Hours Later

It hadn't taken long to find Kagome she was on one of the lower branches of the god tree, clenching it while whimpering with her tail also wrapped around it, it was all just too much for her to take in at the moment- it was just insane.

"Come on Kagome. come out of that tree and come down here and we'll try to figure something out." Souta tried again, although it didn't take a genius to figure out, after the first umpteen times of refusal, she wasn't going to come out of that tree anytime soon.

"NO! Not until I stop hallucinating!" She shouted back at her younger brother, like a petulant child. Having traveled through the feudal era fighting demons and dealing with untold amounts of death along with her current profession as a brain surgeon measured up to copious amounts of stress that Kagome had believed led to her cracking and hallucinating. Even worse she feared she might hurt her family.

"How many times do we have to tell you?! You're not hallucinating! And even if you are than the rest of us are too! Seriously, what are the chances that we're all hallucinating that you have a tail!" Souta shouted back to his sister trying to be the mature one in this situation and honestly not doing so well. He just wanted to scream, had she always been this stubborn? It was honestly quite frustrating!

"You're a hallucination too! You're not really Souta you're just something my mind conjured up due to me finally going clinically insane!" she said pointing an accusing finger at her little brother who she perceived as a 'hallucination'.

"GAH! YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE! YOU KNOW THAT?!" the young Higurashi boy shouted and pointed at her with a glower. He'd finally had it. His sister was being ridiculous this whole event was completely absurd! He understood being totally freaked out by suddenly finding out you have a tail and stuff but seriously Kagome needed to get over it, so she could calm down and they could all come up with a solution. "GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Souta screamed.

"NO!" Kagome replied in a negative again.

"GAAAAAAH!" Souta shouted in frustration. He was just ready to strangle someone.

"Yes…. I'm sorry but she can't come in today…. The loss of the children yesterday really got to her, not to mention she was so close. She's having a bit of a breakdown…. Okay, thank you." She hung up, after calling in for her daughter that she wasn't going to make it into work.

Mama Higurashi was inside trying to come up with something, anything. It was honestly very disconcerting to see her daughter this way; she knew that she must have dealt with worse than this on the other side of the well.

But maybe this was it, Kagome couldn't take it anymore. All the stress, everything she went through caught up with her and broke the camels back.

Ms. Higurashi was honestly close to as perplexed and agitated as her son was. She was, after all, Kagome's mother, she should be able to do something.

Her daughter gave so much to save the world and certainly, the world owed her at leasthersanity and peace of mind!

Kagome, she was sure, had experienced more than anybody should ever have to go through.

Her eyes were those of a war veteran, someone who experienced many things. Things that were worse than death, and at times it scared her.

Her daughter never told her everything and to be completely honest, for that she was relieved.

Kagome knew her mother would worry and as far as things went Ms. Higurashi already felt bad enough; like she was a bad mother for letting Kagome run off to the feudal era fight demons and risk her life, or was she a good mother for trusting her daughter and letting her follow her own path no matter where it led, even if she was only fifteen at the time.

But she also knew, that her mind never wrapped itself around the idea that her daughter was in such great danger, sometimes it just felt like a fairytale to her.

Even with everything Kagome went through, she couldn't help feeling a little grateful with everything she learned back there and all the places she visited Kagome had learned three divine languages which no one else could learn unless the gods approved.

Kagome had visited this 'other world' and met many people and learned a lot from those people.

Kagome was taught about different universe's and that's how they found Kagome's uncle, Ms. Higurashi's brother, he was in fact still alive, they had been separated one day and never met again, although there was a decade or so age difference they had always been close, Kagome had somehow found him and found a way to make a telephone connection to that universe, her daughter was amazing.

She sighed and then gave a half-hearted laugh, hearing her son and daughter fighting outside and was relieved that Kagome hadn't actually let go of reality, although Kagome certainly thought she had. Kagome was not crazy, but she thought she was.

Suddenly she was hit by a memory. When she first talked to her brother after Kagome managed to make the phone connection they spent a lot of time catching up and talked about everything (minus Kagome's adventures in the feudal era, that was to be kept as secret as possible) she remembered him mentioning a young boy with a tail, maybe…

She immediately punched in her brother's number and after two rings she heard him answer "Hello?" she smiled at hearing his voice.

"Hello, how have you been little brother?" she wanted to laugh at the choking noise he made, he was still shocked that she was actually still alive and was having trouble wrapping his head around the idea but she understood, it took her a while to get used to the idea too, only Kagome was there to help her with the bizarreness of it all, and of course she made sure that he didn't find out it was all interuniversal. That would only make things crazier, although she had to sometimes pretend she understood things when she had no clue what he was talking about, Kagome was also good with that.

"Mika? Um I've been pretty good. How about you?" he asked with a slightly nervous laugh. They had been at this for a few years but he still hasn't seen her so it was kind of hard for him to believe.

"Well- we're having a bit of a crisis here," she trailed off unsure how to explain things when she had seen Kagome in the tree Souta had pointed out her tail and she was sure if she hadn't seen it she wouldn't have believed it.

"What's wrong?" He asked, he would help in any way he could, even after they hadn't seen each other in who knows how many years she immediately accepted him like her little brother again and he had met his niece and nephew (even if only over the phone) and they took him in as part of the family, quickly, without meeting him in person and no questions asked.

"Kagome's having a breakdown and- you once mentioned a boy with a tail?" She truly hoped this would work, for Kagome's sake if nothing else.

Okay, now he was just confused, his sister had jumped from Kagome having a breakdown to asking about Goku? Life is bizarre, and so was his family. "Well yeah, his name's Goku, why do you ask?"

"I think he might be able to help." she paused giving a heavy sigh before continuing. "If Kagome simply had someone to relate to in this situation, even if only a little bit, it might help her."

On the other end of the line, Kagome's uncle blinked. 'How would Goku be able to help, Goku's great and all. Kind and understanding and all that, but certainly his sister could be just the same, right?' "Okay I'll talk to him but why do you need Goku?" It was a bit annoying that Goku might be able to help his niece, her own uncle somehow overlooked and dubbed ineffective in helping. Sometimes it was just; 'Goku, Goku, Goku.' all about him. Then again it seemed Goku had been training in martial arts since he was able to walk and was unnaturally strong, so he had an advantage, he was also inhumanly kind, honest and naive.

"It's kind of hard to explain, but you'll understand when you get here." She said, with nervousness drenching her voice.

And then he heard screaming over the line, in the background "I'M NOT A HALLUCINATION, IT IS REALLY ME! SOUTA!"

"SAYS YOU, YOU NON-CORPOREAL, FAKE! YOU CONJURATION OF MY UNSTABLE MENTALITY!"

"YOU'RE NOT CRAZY OR CLINICALLY INSANE! NOW GET DOWN, OUT OF THAT TREE!"

"NO, NOT UNTIL I STOP HALLUCINATING!"

"DAMNIT KAGOME, FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU'RE NOT HALLUCINATING!"

The man sighed, from the sounds of it; it seems like utter chaos, something was fucked up "Alright, but it's been five years since I last saw him, he might have moved for all I know." He felt extremely worried; it's not every day that people accuse themselves of being literally crazy, especially not someone as stable as Kagome.

"Well, I would appreciate it if you at least checked." Ms. Higurashi stated, pleadingly.

"Okay, I'll go look, but I'm not going to guarantee anything, I'll call you back and let you know if I found him or not."

"Thank you so much, I'm really worried about Kagome. She's been up in that tree for five maybe six hours, and still refuses to come down."

"Alright, I'll do what I can. Talk to you later, bye" he hung up from talking to his sister, worry written clearly on his features as he leaned back on the couch. He'd leave to look for Goku in a few minutes.

A small, shape-shifting, cat floated over to the man "What's wrong Yamcha?" she asked, in her high-pitched voice, wanting to know what she could do to help him feel better.

Yamcha gave his friend a tired smile "Well Puar, it looks like I'm going to have to go look for Goku soon."

"Why?" she asked, he had just been on the phone with his sister, why did he suddenly need to find Goku?

"Kagome, my niece, the brain surgeon, you remember me talking about her, right?"

"Yes, I remember." Thinking back to a few of the times he had mentioned the girl.

"Well, it seems she had some sort of breakdown, and Mika thinks Goku can help, I don't know why though," he suddenly realized he hadn't asked why the poor girl was having a breakdown in the first place. 'I guess I'll just figure out when I get there, and hopefully with Goku,' He had questioned his sister's ideas before, but usually, she was right about this kind of stuff. He got up and began getting ready to go find the now untailed man, or at least he hoped Goku's tail hadn't grown back like it did before.

"You coming too Puar?" Yamcha asked, turning back to the floating, shape-shifter.

"I would, but you move so much faster than me, I don't want to slow you down and we need someone to watch the apartment," Puar answered with a slightly awkward smile.

Yamcha smiled back at his longtime friend and companion. "I'll be sure to call you later and let you know what's going on, okay?"

"Okay!" was Puars one word reply as Yamcha left to find Goku.

"I just don't know what to do or try next. Kagome just refuses to do anything other than stay up in the goshinboku, it's absolutely ridiculous!" Souta pouted, he wanted his old sister back.

"It's just stupid. I mean who cares if she has a tail? Inuyasha had white hair, yellow eyes, fangs, claws and let's not forget his dog ears and all she has is a tail which she could probably just wrap around her waist and hide it under her shirt or just keep it tucked in her pants or something."

He frowned Kagome was his hero, his role model (even if she is a girl) she saved the world; traveling back in time and then coming back to finish High School in one year, and going straight to university and med school, which she passed with flying colors and moved on to be a brain surgeon. She's still in great shape, and she could easily kick the ass of someone ten times her size. He was pretty sure she still wore her weights.

"Don't worry Souta I have a plan, do you remember your Uncle Yamcha?" at her son's nod she continued, "Well he's mentioned a boy with a tail several times, I thought maybe he might be able to help or he might even know what's going on."

"Okay, but how is that supposed to work? He lives in a completely different universe. How can he help?" he asked looking skeptical.

Ms. H gave her son a sly smile. "Kagome has been studying a lot of things around the shrine, that includes the bone eaters well. I looked over some of her notes, it's simply a portal that will open anywhere, in Kagome's case the feudal era something apparently simple. I found how Kagome made the phone connect to your uncle's universe and I figure if I can create the same process on the well, it will work in connecting the two universes and at least someone will be able to travel through and Kagome's theory as to why she could and that is her large amount of Ki.

Yamcha also has a large amount of Ki, probably not as much as your sister- but still a good amount. So, it might work, all we need is a little of your sisters Ki. And that should be simple enough to get because there are several items she stores Ki in to make it work, right?"

Souta smirked and they got to work.

Well there you have it chapter two.
