A/N: Because of a special request, I am pairing Hotohori up with someone. You'll find out later in the story but she is my character and I claim every right to her. Hope you Enjoy. ^_^

A Child from the Future

'Piecing it together'

Both Tamahome and Hotohori were asleep for the next 5 days. Miaka stayed by Tamahome's side, never leaving his sight. Word was sent to Sara about Hotohori and she came immediately to his side. Sara was a girl around the age of 18. She was a princess in Hotohori's kingdom. She had long, straight, black hair, brown eyes, and a very sweet personality. She cared for Hotohori deeply and loved him very much.

***

On the morning of the sixth day, Hotohori awoke to find Sara asleep kneeling on the floor with her head on the bed. He looked at her lovingly. He got out of bed, picked her up, and put her in his bed to rest. He then went to the kitchen to tell the cooks to have Sara's favorite dish made for her.

Tamahome also awoke to find Miaka asleep next to him. He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get some tea for her. Surprisingly, he and Hotohori missed each other.

When Hotohori returned, Sara was still asleep. He woke her gently from her sleep.

"Hotohori?"

"I'm right here."

"Daijoubou ka?"

"Daijoubou."

"I'm glad. I was so worried that you were never going to wake. You've been asleep for the past 5 days."

She got out of bed and came to sit next to him at the table.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry, but you must be hungry. I had the cooks prepare your favorite food."

"Arigato."

They ate together as Sara told Hotohori what had been happening the past week. ***

Tamahome had returned to find Miaka gone. He left the room to find her. He didn't need to guess where she was when he smelt food. He headed directly for the kitchen. And no doubt, Miaka was there eating about 5 plates of food at once.

"Miaka."

"TAMAHOME!"

She got up and ran into his arms.

"How did you find me?"

"I smelt the food."

***

It might have been fait or just luck, but Miaka, Tamahome, Sara, and Hotohori went into the meeting room at the same time. In there were Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Sakura, and Yui. They walked in and sat down.

"Kagome-chan?"

"Nani, Maika-chan?"

"Where is that other guy who was with you?"

"You mean Sesshoumaru?"

"Hai."

"He went home to visit Rin."

"Who's that."

"I've never met her, but it's his love."

"I, Hotohori, as the head of this kingdom would like to thank everyone of you for helping us."

"You're welcome."

"Especially you little girl. You are a very powerful person."

"Arigato. I am from the 21st century."

"You know, I just realized something?"

"Nani Inuyasha?"

"We've been so busy helping everyone all this time, that we haven't had a chance to figure out who Sakura's father is."

"That's ok, it came to me in a dream last nigh."

"What did."

"All my memories."

Everyone turned to listen to Sakura when.

"I heard Yui was back."

"Suboshi."

"Lady Yui."

A young man with short brown hair, light blue eyes, and one cute face and personality walked into the room. Yui got up and walked up to him.

"When did you get back."

"Just now and I heard that you were here so I came to check up on you."

"You're too kind to me."

"I can't help it, I love you Lady Yui."

He lifted her chin up and gazed loving into her eyes. He then placed his lips next to hers and kissed her passionately. About that very time, Nakago walked by with Soi. He saw Yui and Suboshi and started boiling in rage.

"Suboshi."

"General."

"Get away from the priestess."

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

Nakago and Suboshi were glaring at each other. The air was thick with tension.

"I don't want to fight you Nakago but I swear if I must I will."

"Just get away from Yui."

"No, she's not yours and you have no right to boss me around."

"We'll see about that."

Nakago took out a whip and ties Suboshi up.

"NAKAGO STOP!"

"Yui."

"Don't hurt him."

"What's so special about him."

"Everything. He cares about me and loves me."

"So do I."

"You don't know what love is Nakago. You're nothing but a player."

Yui's words pierced Nakago's ears as he walked out of the room. He couldn't believe it. She had left him for Suboshi. Nakago was pissed at Yui, at Suboshi, at pretty much everything else. He went back to his room where Soi was sitting patiently waiting for him.

"How'd it go?"

"She ditched me for Suboshi."

"Forget about her, you have me now, and I assure you I'm all you need."

"I know that, you are all I need."

He smiled at her as he closed the door. Meanwhile, back at the other room. Yui was satisfied and sat down with Suboshi. Now everyone sat quietly as they listened to Sakura's dream. A dream that would mystify them all, and leave them spell bound.

To be continued.
