Sorry for the absence but we had a bad case of writers block. We actually don't know anything about what is in this chapter as I was almost asleep when my fingers tapped away the keyboard.

Why do you have to drag me into this Shane besides you were the one with writers block.

We are one and the same so be quiet and lets get on with this disclaimer.

Almost four weeks passed since the Shikon jewel was remade and nothing was heard about it.

"This is so frustrating." Kagome ranted as she beat her head against the table.

"Tell me about it." Inuyasha said from his spot at the table as he looked over the map spread on it. "This guy is almost as hard to find as Naraku and he's only in Tokyo. Not hiding in various parts of Japan."

"I know and since he has a shikon jewel he should be easy to find but for some reason I can't get a lock on it. It's similar to when the barrier was around mount Hakurae except I can feel just enough to know it's out there." Kagome spoke into the table after she stopped beating her head against it.

"Well we've called most of our children back to Japan to assist us but Miu is the only other one that can sense the jewel and she's having just as much trouble as you." Inuyasha said as he looked at his mate.

"I just hope we find it before Hibiki does anything to drastic."

"That might already be to late." Inuyasha told her looking at the news.

"Huh?" Kagome asked as she looked toward the television. "Oh no." She said the dread evident in her voice. Not waiting to see what the reporter had to say she splashed herself with cold water and morphed into a more human form before sprinting out the door.

"I hope she's aware that there's nothing she can do." Inuyasha said to no one in particular.

A few minutes later Kagome-kun was at the scene of the accident that was aired on the news.

"We thought you'd be here." One of the officers on the scene said.

"Is it as bad as it looked on the news?" Kagome-kun asked.

"I don't know about that. But it looks like he won't make it. On the bright side you and your brother are going to be just fine." The officer said trying brighten the mood.

"Your not helping." Kagome-kun snapped.

"Sorry. But you don't have to get so bent out of shape."

"I know. I know." Kagome-kun said calming down. "It's just that even if you know it's going to happen it still comes as a shock."

"Well you might want to talk to your mother. She's taking it pretty hard." The officer said indicating the young woman holding the six week old Souta and year and a half old Kagome.

"No because I don't remember meeting me in this time. So I better not though I desperately want to." Kagome-kun said as he inspected the front of the Semi somewhat amazed at the damage done to it.

"With the damage you did to this. How did it injure you enough to kill you?" Kagome-kun asked himself as he felt the residual effects of the shikon jewel on the vehicle. 'This is bad.'

'Tell me about it.' Inuyasha thought having not moved from where he was sitting knowing that there was nothing he could do so had decided to sit this one out. 'Hibiki has already made a wish on the jewel. If only we knew what he wished for we might be able to counter it.'

'It doesn't look like either thing is going to happen. I can tell you that the jewel is already tainted.' Kagome thought after she poured hot water over herself as her spiritual powers were stronger in her original form.

Hearing an agitated sigh behind her she turned to look for the source. Seeing Ayano she had to smile despite the situation.

"haven't gotten rid of your shadow yet?" Kagome asked her daughter.

"No and he's driving me nuts. It's getting bad enough that I think I'm going to kill him." Ayano said before adding. "Though Miu has it covered I thought that you should know that Ranma has gone into labor."

"Perfect timing. While one leaves the living two more become a part of it. How fitting." Looking up Kagome saw Ayano's quirked eyebrows before adding. "Sorry if that sounds to sarcastic."

"You do have a lot on your plate so I won't say anything about it." Ayano told her mother before they both heard a almost too sweet call.

"Oh Ayano. Please will you be my bride?" Herb called as he came into sight among the emergency vehicles.

"Grr. I am going to kill him." Ayano said angrily.

"Why don't you give him a chance as you are still single. It's not like you're going to mate him tonight." Kagome said trying to calm Ayano down before she took off.

"Ma'am your father has been removed from the scene and is being taken to the hospital and your presence is requested." An officer informed her.

"I'll be there momentarily." Kagome told him as she began heading for the building in question. "And don't tell my mother about me being here."

"As you wish." The officer replied bowing.

When she arrived at the hospital she was immediately ushered into the ER.

"Hold on dad you need to hang in there because we need you."

Laughing weekly Makato said. "Don't even try we already knew that this was going to occur. We just weren't aware of the specifics." Smiling he added. "But even if I had known the circumstances I still would have protected your mother and your younger self. But before anything else I need to speak with your mother."

"Ok dad I'll get her." Kagome said as she left morphing into her full demon form.

Entering the hallway Kagome looked around and spotted her mother. "Ma'am your mate wishes to speak with you."

"Thank you doctor." Emi said as she looked up at Kagome.

'She doesn't change a bit in twelve years.' Kagome thought almost gasping in surprise as she watched her mother walk into the room.

A few minutes later Emi walked out with a sad yet determined look on her face as she left the hospital.

'I probably already know what those two talked about.' Kagome thought.

'Yes you do Kagome. Even if you didn't know directly you would learn of it through me.' Inuyasha thought.

'Yes well I'll see you shortly.' Kagome thought as she walked down the hall to the room that Ranma-chan and Akane-kun were in with their two offspring.
