Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. *muffled crys of 'help me!' and
scratching are coming from the closet* glares You heard nothing!
A/N: Okay, I'm baaaack! Gomen! It's been sooo long since I updated. But life has been sucking and I've been tired. Sorry, I was in such a bad mood last time. My blood pressure had hit the roof. But, hey; it runs in my family. I thought I was having a heart-attack or something for a second there. But, I'm still alive and Okay! 97 reviews! 3 more and I'll have 100! ^_____^ So happy! Oh yeah, and to clarify a few things... In the anime Inuyasha didn't turn into a human until it was pitch black, the same applies here. About them being able to cross time and if the locket is magic...Well, you gotta find out. Was the answer that obvious for all of you to guess it? *hint, hint... it is magic* But you'll find out more of that soon!
SHOUT-OUTS:
naisdreams: Yeah, I'm getting away from the locket a little, but I'll come back to it when the time is right. *said dramatically*
sorena27: Yep, but the locket's magic so they can pass too.
Tsukinoko: I was going by the anime' and yep it was the locket. Thanks for telling me about the Fluffy thing. but how could one story get everyone to know about Fluffy? That's sooo cool! I wish I could do something like that and everyone know about it! ^_^
spidee: Don't worry, I'll write more. About the ideas. Here are a few: How about the gang all gets to the modern day and cause trouble for Kagome at her school. Can you imagine Inuyasha and Hojo duking it out for Kagome. Or a Christmas romance between Inuyasha and Kagome. Where she spends it there or he goes with her to her time to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Or how about the prayer beads (rosary) around his neck get ripped off. See how he acts without anyone being able to control him. Or Inuyasha meets an air purifier and wonder why he can't smell Kagome anymore when he's in the room with it. Or demon inuyasha goes on a rampage or Inuyasha gets turned into a human permanetly by a spell, or Kagome gets turned into a dog by a witch, OR Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou get turned small, like the size of a dollar, and Kagome takes them to her school in her jacket pockets. And finally, Kagome brings a video camera with footage of her and her childhood friends on it, like 12 to 14 years old and shows everyone. And to spice that up, you could have Kouga watch too! Tell me if you want anymore ideas and I'll be happy to give them to you. These are just a few off the top of my head. Enjoy! ^_^
Twin Star Of Suzaku: Yeah! You guessed right, it does have powers!
Suya: hehehehe....HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! I love the Kodachi laugh...that is when i'm tormenting people with it! HOHOHOHOHOHO! *starts twirling a ribbon around and jumping in a leotard with hair in a ponytail to the side* ne? *realizes everyone is looking at her weird and magically appears in front of everyone dressed normally without a ribbon and hair down straight* Gomen....I had a moment.... You'll just have to see if Inuyasha really confesses his love. hehehehe.... And you get a special goodbye laugh! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! ha!
kat: Sorry I didn't e-mail you last time. I will this time though! I wish the right guy would come along, I guess I habe some more guy fishing too. sigh.. It seems all my friends are in love, or have at least had a long relationship...But all the guys I know are jerks and the one guy who likes me makes me feel uneasy and want to run far, far away. Either that or punch him square in the face. I hope you have good luck guy fishing though, or have you already caught one. *says slyly while nuding kat in the side with her elbow.* Ne? ^_^
Skittles: OhmygoshI'msosorryImeanttoreviewyourstorybutmycomputerwasscrewingup! *Takes breath* What I mean is Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I meant to review your story, but my computer was screwing up! I'm so behind in reviewing your story! I'm soooo sorry, but I've been trying. I wrote a really long review, but it wouldn't send because my computer was screwed up so I couldn't review! I'm sooooo sorry! I read them though, I thought they were great, but I left off at the chapter with Inuyasha and Kagome getting hurt and her posioned and him going to take her somewhere. But I WILL review! I loved the movie! It was soooo cool! Thank you soooo much for that site! ^_^ I did think that Inuyasha and Kagome were animated a little weird though, and Memoru's (sp?) evil laugh scared me!
Lil Washu: Sorry, I haven't updated in a while and thanks for catching that mistake! I fixed it! ^_^ Tell me how you like this chapter, k?
kawaii-anime-lover: Yep it's in her world, I hope you enjoy! Tell me what cha' think about it. ______________________________________________________________________
Memories by a Golden Locket:
Ch.10: A look at the future for the past!
The brief crossing of times ended abruptly as the hard ground formed beneath their feet. Inuyasha started to climb the ladder since he could no longer jump high enough to get out; but just for tonight that is. Kagome ushered her firends to climb up, and with Shippou perched on her back, she climbed up last. She took her friends out of the well house and they looked bewildered. Her world, her time, was so different from the world they were used too! The house looked sturdier than any from their time, but what caught Sango's attention was the God tree.
"So, the God tree exsits in your world too, Kagome-chan?" she asked.
"Hai. It's a time tree. To my family though, it's a tree of memories."
"Well most of Inuyasha's years were spent on that tree, so he must have a lot of momories there." Shippou stated.
"Thanks for the memory, kitsune." Inuyasha stated dryly. They walked along up to Kagome's house.
"Mama!" Kagome called as she searched for her mother.
"Inuyasha ni-chan!" Sota cried out as he latched on to Inuyasha. Then he got a closer look when some black hair fell onto his face. His hair was black, not silver. He got a closer look at his hero and discovered the young man had no claws, human ears instead of dog ears, and instead of golden cat-like eyes; they were intense voliet. He looked at the man's hands and found no claws. He was attached to a human, not demon...Meanwhile, Inuyasha was glaring at his companions. Miroku was laughing his head off, as was Shippou, while Sango just said softly " 'Inuyasha ni-chan'...?"
"Gomen naisai!" Sota cried out as he released him. "I thought you were Inuyasha. That is, you're dressed like him. Ya even got his sword...Or it looks like his sword."
"That's because I AM Inuyasha!" Inu cried out.
"Ne? But you're human." Sota protested, baffled. Gramps popped out of nowhere.
"So you were possessed by that demon! Now it's exocised, must be the work of the fine preist behind you."
"Hey! I was NOT possessed...Miroku!? Exocise!?" Inuyasha couldn't envision Miroku exocicing anything properly.
"I'm but a humble monk." Miroku said as Kagome's mother walked in. "Oh my. More guests then. I guess i'll need to make more Ramen then. Hey. Where's that good friend of yours, Kagome? The one with the cute ears?"
"I'm right here!"
"But you have black hair and human ears?" She protested.
"Kagome," He growled dangerously low, "Coming here tinight was a BAD idea."
"Onee-chan? What's going on?" Sota asked as he tugged on her sleeve. "Who's that man with voilet eyes?" Everyone started talking at once and when Gramps pulled out some written spells at Kirara and Shippou, Kagome jumped forth.
"Minna-san! Be QUIET!" She yelled. Everyone looked to her at her sudden outburst. "Arigotou. Now I can explain a few things. Yes, this is Inuyasha." She stated as she pulled on his sleeve for effect. "Every New Moon he looses his demonic blood and becomes human, hence the fate of hanyous, even though most have a different night than tonight. He'll be back to a hanyou by morning. He wasn't possed and I brought my friends here to show them the future. Plus, it's more dangerous there on the New Moon at night since he's human, but I thought it'd be fun to have them over to see my world...err.. time."
"I hate this weak body.." She heard Inuyasha mumble/snarl.
"I'll put some Ramen on then." Said Kagome's mother as she retreted to the kitchen with Gramps following. Sota went to watch TV as Kagome showed Sango around the shrine. Inuyasha pointed out were certain rooms were to Miroku and they all went to Kagome's room last to look around. Shippou began to bounce around, looking at jewerly, make-up, and books.
"So, this is your room, Lady Kagome?" Miroku stated rather than asked.
"Hai. It's my room." She said as she spun around and smiled with her hand stretched out to her sides.
"Wow!" Sango gasped out awestruck, "There's so many things I've never seen before!"
"Go ahead and look around." Kagome said to them. They quickly complied and began looking through everything. Except Inuyasha of course... He thought of this place as a second home. Kagome flopped back on her bed and laid her head on her pillow. Inuyasha just sat at the end and watched them rumage around. Shippou found a bottle and pressed the top button. A weird mist came out. He gasped as he smelt it.
"Kagome! This mist has your scent!" She let out a small laugh.
"More like I have it's scent."
'So it disguises her real scent with that! That's not right! Why would she want to go over her real scent!?' Inuyasha thought gruffly as he growled, even though he was human. "Why would you want to disguise your scent?" He asked, never taking her eyes off the bottle.
"Huh? Oh. To Smell nice." She said as she snapped out of her own little world.
"Feh." was the only response to her words as he pondered the weird future.~~~~~By the time dinner was ready, her room was a mess. Nail polish and eye liner was spilt on the carpet, her books were knocked off, stuffed animals litered the floor, andher bed sheets were messed up and on the floor thanks to Shippou jumping on the bed.
'Guess I'll clean it up after dinner,' She thought bitterly to herself as she unconusiously rubbed the bump on the back of her head with one hand and fingered the locket with the other. They all sat around the table like this: Kagome at the end with Inuyasha on her right and Gramps to her left with Sota by Inuyasha and Sano by Sota and Miroku at the ither end while Kagome's mother sat by Miroku and Gramps. (Sorry for the length of that sentence...@_@) Shippou sat in Kagome's lap while Kirara and Buyo shared a dish of cat food in the kitchen. Ramen with vegetables and Green tea were served to everyone, whil Inuyasha inhaled his food in less than a minute and Sota watched in amazement at the speed.
"I'm glad you're wearing the locket, Kagome." her mom said while smiling warmly.
"Yeah, I really like it." She said happily while trying to supress the memory of his death boiling up. She bit her lip since she knew she'd cry if she thought of it now. She bit harder until she tasted the coppery blood in her mouth and smiled to hide the sorrow. But Inuyasha could see the sadness in her eyes. They finished eating and Kagome helped her mom clear the dishes. "You guys go back to my room. I'll be up in a little bit, k?"
"Can I help you, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.
"Nah, I got it. It'll only take a second."
"Okay." And with that they began to wlak up the stairs. Inuyahsa stayed behind, though. He wanted to ask Kagome what was wrong. She started putting the bowls in the sink alongside her mother.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Her mom asked.
"Nothing..."
"You're not a good liar."
"What! Nothing's wrong mother."
"Yes it is. Come on, you know you can tell me."
"Just thinking about dad."
"Oh...That..."
Kagome looked sadly at the locket. She blinked. 'Did it just glow?' She wondered. 'Nah. Must' ve imagined it.' She was about to go when her mom grabbed her arm.
"Honey, we were about to go on a trip to your Aunt Misty's house. So I'm gonna let your friends stay here, but don't trash the house and don't do anything I wouldn't do with that boy."
"Mooom!" Kagome whined as she blushed deeply red.
"Just making sure." Her mother countered as she looked through her apron pockets. "Here. Maybe you can use this in the other side of the locket." She countered as she looked through her apron pockets. "Here. Maybe you can put this in the other side of the locket." She handed Kagome the picture. Kagome carefully looked it over and smiled as her cheeks tinged pink. It was of Inuyasha carring Kagome bridal style to the well house with her resting her head on her shoulder in contentment. It seemed the locket glowed a light pink, but Kagome dissmissed it as the Shikon shards, the rays of sunlight breaking through the trees, or a picture defect.
"Arigotou, Mamma." She said as she opened ther locket and carefully put the picture in the empty side. She glanced over it and quickly averted her eyes from her father's picture as she pushed the memory back and chewed on her lip. She followed her mother out of the kitchen where Sota and Gramps stood at the door with their suitcases. Her mother hugged her briefly before going to their side.
"We'll be back in a few days. Will you be here still?" Her mother asked.
"No. We'll most likely be back by morning."
"Well, have fun then."
"I will."
"Bye onee-chan!" Sota called to her as they all retreated to the car and drove off leaving Kagome to stand and wave at the dot disappering from sight. She turned around, only to bump into a well toned chest. Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders to steady her.
"Why aren't you upstairs, Inuyasha?"
"I wanted to ask you something."
"What."
~~~~Back in her room~~~~
"Hey look what I found guys! It's a weird bow with funny looking knobs." Shippou said as her rubbed a tiny hand over the smooth surface. Sango and Miroku soon came over and began mimiking his motions. Miroku's hand pressed a button on the CD player/radio and music started.
~~~~The Song....(which is entitled Why?) It's written by me so I own it, and yes I write tormented poetry... That other werid song was by me and that lulaby too.)
My head is pounding
My heart is racing
I think this is the end
I hurt all over
I feel bad inside.
Do you even care?
(Didn't think so...)
Maybe you don't see
Really inside of me.
The realness inside my heart.
The purity's a shock.
My head's gonna explode.
All the sadness built up.
The emptiness I feel,
Since you left me.
W-H-Y
do you have to tease me?
W-H-Y
do you not care at all?
W-H-Y
don't I just die.
My heart beats slowing
My breathing labored
The pain is slowly stopping.
As the tears flow from my eyes.
And the pain stops,
as I breathe my last breath,
And welcome the darkness.
And once again;
All Is Silent...
~~~end song.... Okay that was pretty sad... ~~~~
"What, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Why do you look so sad all of a sudden... You've been acting weird since you got that locket."
"It's nothing... Just a memory I'd rather not think about..." Kagome mangaed to squeak out without her voice cracking.
"What about?"
"...My dad's death..." She said as she looked at the ground. He grabbed her face in his human hand and made her look him in the eyes.
"You look tired. C'mon you need some sleep so we can go in the morning early."
"Thanks, Inuyasha." She smiled, even though her sad eyes still didn't match it. They walked to her room and she turned off the radio. Then she went into an explanation of how it wasn't possessed.
"Where are we all going to sleep?" Sango asked.
"Okay let's see. The beds are too small in Sota's room so, Miroku, you take Gramps room. Sango, you and Shippou take Mom's room. Kirara can stay with Buyo. And that leaves Inuyasha... I can pull out an extra futon and you can stay in my room, so you don't freeze on the couch.
"Why can't I stay In Miroku's room?"
"Because it's too small."
"Feh." He said as they all went to the appointed rooms and Kagome got Sango some of her Pajamas. She got the futon out for Inuyasha and went to the bathroom to change. She had placed the futon right by her bed. She walked back to her room, fully dressed for bed and refreshed and climbed under the covers.
"G'night, Inuyasha..." She said as she got one more look at him laying still there and she turned out the light.
After a few moments she heard a faint, "Good night, Kagome." She smiled in the darkness as the darkness finally claimed her and the locket glowed a faint pink as the memory of her father's death resurfaced at long last.

"I wanted to ask you something."
"What."
~~~~Back in her room~~~~
"Hey look what I found guys! It's a weird bow with funny looking knobs." Shippou said as her rubbed a tiny hand over the smooth surface. Sango and Miroku soon came over and began mimiking his motions. Miroku's hand pressed a button on the CD player/radio and music started.
~~~~The Song....(which is entitled Why?) It's written by me so I own it, and yes I write tormented poetry... That other werid song was by me and that lulaby too.)
My head is pounding
My heart is racing
I think this is the end
I hurt all over
I feel bad inside.
Do you even care?
(Didn't think so...)
Maybe you don't see
Really inside of me.
The realness inside my heart.
The purity's a shock.
My head's gonna explode.
All the sadness built up.
The emptiness I feel,
Since you left me.
W-H-Y
do you have to tease me?
W-H-Y
do you not care at all?
W-H-Y
don't I just die.
My heart beats slowing
My breathing labored
The pain is slowly stopping.
As the tears flow from my eyes.
And the pain stops,
as I breathe my last breath,
And welcome the darkness.
And once again;
All Is Silent...
~~~end song.... Okay that was pretty sad... ~~~~
"What, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Why do you look so sad all of a sudden... You've been acting weird since you got that locket."
"It's nothing... Just a memory I'd rather not think about..." Kagome mangaed to squeak out without her voice cracking.
"What about?"
"...My dad's death..." She said as she looked at the ground. He grabbed her face in his human hand and made her look him in the eyes.
"You look tired. C'mon you need some sleep so we can go in the morning early."
"Thanks, Inuyasha." She smiled, even though her sad eyes still didn't match it. They walked to her room and she turned off the radio. Then she went into an explanation of how it wasn't possessed.
"Where are we all going to sleep?" Sango asked.
"Okay let's see. The beds are too small in Sota's room so, Miroku, you take Gramps room. Sango, you and Shippou take Mom's room. Kirara can stay with Buyo. And that leaves Inuyasha... I can pull out an extra futon and you can stay in my room, so you don't freeze on the couch.
"Why can't I stay In Miroku's room?"
"Because it's too small."
"Feh." He said as they all went to the appointed rooms and Kagome got Sango some of her Pajamas. She got the futon out for Inuyasha and went to the bathroom to change. She had placed the futon right by her bed. She walked back to her room, fully dressed for bed and refreshed and climbed under the covers.
"G'night, Inuyasha..." She said as she got one more look at him laying still there and she turned out the light.
After a few moments she heard a faint, "Good night, Kagome." She smiled in the darkness as the darkness finally claimed her and the locket glowed a faint pink as the memory of her father's death resurfaced at long last.
