Kagome smiled at Akito and grabbed his hand, "Come on." She said and motioned for Shippo to come as well. She went and opened the sliding door only for Inutaisho to fall on the floor. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and Izayoi just laughed at him.
Inuyasha sighed, "You have demon hearing, pops. If you're gonna spy you should at least be able to tell when they're coming."
Inutaisho smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. Akito sighed, "I would like to say I'm surprised, but I'm really not."
Kagome looked over at Izayoi, "Um… no offense miss Izayoi but um how are you alive…"
She looked surprised but then smiled, "I am Inutaisho's mate this has extended my life to as long as his."
Her eyes widened, "That happens." She squeeked looking over at Akito.
He chuckled wrapping his arms around her which made her blush, "Yes mate. You can live as long as me now."
"Good." She said. She looked over at Inuyasha while saying, "I'm glad you were able to mate her Inutaisho. Inuyasha got everything he ever deserved."
Inuyasha blushed, "Keh." He said looking away.
Akito looked at Inutaisho, "As you already know we'll be making a trip. You can stay as long as you'd like." he just nodded. Akito picked Kagome up bridal style and Shippo jumped into her lap. He took off running full speed. A couple hours later they were standing at the well. Kagome looked at her watch and saw it was almost 8:30.
Kagome smiled up at him, "You ready to meet my family? To see my time?"
He kissed her forehead, "Of course as long as it means I get to know more about you."
She smiled and thought, 'He is just as perfect as in my dreams.' She looked into his eyes, "All you have to do is jump." With her words he jumped over the edge of the well and they were quickly surrounded by blue light. Akito and Shippo looked around them in amazement, but they were soon landing on the other side of well. He looked up and quickly jumped up to outside the well. He gently placed her on the ground. She held up her hand, "Wait here for a second." She moved over to the door and peaked out. She was scared that her mom may have called the cops or something. She sighed in relief when she didn't see any cops swarming. She smiled back at them, "Come on!" she said picking Shippo up and grabbing Akito's hand. She dragged him over to their home that was on the shrine property. She opened the door and rushed in putting Shippo down, "Mama! Sota! Grandpa! I'm home!"
Kagome's mom and little brother came running out and practically tackled her, "Kagome!" her mom pulled away, "Kagome where did…" she stopped looking at the tall orange haired man standing just behind her daughter.
Before she could ask about him her grandpa came out saw him and yelled, "Demon!" throwing sutras at him while Shippo cowered behind his leg.
They fell uselessly at his feet, "Grandpa!" they all yelled. Kagome sighed, "No more sutras," then she mumbled, "Their useless anyways." Which only Akito heard which made him chuckle.
"Everyone this is Akito and his son Shippo." Who then untangled himself from Akito's leg and waved shyly. Sota walked over and saw Akito's tail swaying from side to side and reached out giving it a pull which made him yelp, "Sota don't! That'll hurt them."
Kagome's mom did not miss the loving glance that her daughter gave the man, "Kagome what's going on? The last time I saw you, you were jumping into the well and now you come back with a man and his son."
Kagome sighed, "It's a long explanation so let's go sit down and have some tea." Her mom sighed and nodded. Kagome picked Shippo up and walked him over to the living room where the tv was while Akito followed her. She sat him on the floor and grabbed the remote, "This is a tv it's sorta like a play that you watch on the screen." She said and turned it on cartoons.
Shippo's eyes widened and he ran up to the screen putting his hands on it. She smiled at him and sat him a little farther back, "That's so cool mama!"
She laughed and rubbed her hand over his head, "Hey Sota come over here and keep him company."
"Alright sis." He said and she handed him the remote. He sat down next to him and saw that Shippo's feet were fox feet, "Whoa your feet are like animal feet!"
Shippo tilted his head at him, "Of course I'm a fox demon."
"Really!? What can you do!?" Sota asked.
She stood up grabbing Akito's hand and walked over to the kitchen where her mom and grandpa were. Her mother was making the tea and waiting for them. She sat down and took a deep breath. Under the table Akito grabbed her hand and started stroking her hand with his thumb. Her mom came back tea ready and poured 4 glasses. She sat down, "Now Kagome tell me what's going on."
She thought for a second trying to figure out where to begin, "First, let me explain. No interruptions just let me finish my story." She said looking at both her mom and grandpa. They sighed nodding their head. "Mama you remember the dreams I used to have when I was little?" she nodded her head again; "Well they never actually stopped. They just got stronger and more detailed as I got older…"
Her mom looked at her surprised while her grandpa just continued to eye Akito suspiciously, "What? Why didn't you tell us?" her mom asked.
"Because you were so worried about it… But in these dreams I would go through the well to a whole other world. Actually it was just the past where demons were still around… I met many friends and many enemies as well. I had a really amazing group of friends and we fought our enemies together. We protected each other and we formed a sort of family. In these dreams I continued to go from there and home and one time when I was trying to go back to my friends the well sent me back too far. I ended up meeting an amazing man. I ended up falling in love with this man…"
Her mother sighed, "But these were just dreams, Kagome."
"Mama…" she said and she sighed holding up her hands remembering she had said that she said she wouldn't interrupt. Kagome continued then, "The man from those dreams was Akito…" she said looking at him lovingly and he smiled down at her, "You see when I was there I changed the future by telling him and someone else what was going to happen. By changing it I ended up never going into the past. The dreams I was having was like another life I lived… these dreams were things that actually happened before I changed the past."
Her mother sighed, "Kagome, they were dreams. Travelling to the past meeting demons? All these things are impossible, demons don't even exist."
Akito let go of Kagome's hand, "Ma'am if I may?" he asked and then he put his hand out and created a ball of fox fire. And then just for entertainment he turned into a fox that ran around in a circle around the group not actually touching anything so it won't burn anything.
Miss Higurashi almost fell out of her chair, "How did you do that!?"
He smiled at her, "It's called fox fire." He said making it disappear, "I'm actually a fox demon."
She sputtered, "But… but…"
Kagome grabbed her mom's hand, "I know it's hard to believe I thought they were all just dreams too until I woke up with this, this morning." She said moving her hair aside showing off her mark, "You see it's um a mating mark. In that other life Akito and I became mated, which is like married in demon terms…" she said waiting for their reactions.
Kagome's mom just kept opening and closing her mouth unsure what to say. Her grandpa on the other hand furiously stood up, "You dare seduce my innocent granddaughter!" he grabbed his sutras.
At this point Kagome stood up, "Grandpa don't! I love him!" he stood there sutras in hand.
Akito spoke up now, "If I may interject?" they all looked at him, "I love Kagome with all my heart. I have spent the last 100 or so years without her and I would have waited hundreds of more just to see her face again. I don't know what I would do if I could never see her again."
Miss. Higurashi's eyes widened, "H-how old are you Akito?"
"605." He said simply.
"Kagome!" her mother practically screeched, "I understand liking older men but- but this is just ridiculous!"
"Mom it's not like that. Demons just age a lot slower than humans. Shippo is around the human age of 7 but he's actually about 150!"
"And now that we are mated she will live as long as I can." He said.
"Mama, he's a good man. Everything you have or could've wished for me." Kagome said, "Just please. Get to know the man that he is, the man I fell in love with…"
Grandpa just pouted but Kagome's mom looked at her tea for a while. Finally she sighed and looked up at her daughter, "Alright, Kagome, I'll try."
Kagome smiled brightly and went over hugging her mom tight, "Thank you mama!" they spent the rest of the evening talking and getting to know Akito.
