Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters. I actually feel sorry for him when Kagome sits him, even if I think its funny.

Chapter 2

A smile crossed his lips, as he watched his twin sister, Kagome Sakura Higurashi, walk over to greet him, Senji Tenchi Higurashi, and their young brother, Souta Akemi Higurashi. Souta was 14 now and had become quite charming. He himself was quite charming and was 18, like Kagome. They only had one thing different about them. His eyes were of a misty blue and hers a soft gray.

Laughter dancing in his misty blue eyes, Senji walked onto the porch and hugged Kagome, as she reached it. He kissed her forehead, as she just returned the smile. Misty blue eyes stared right into soft gray ones, as the twins silently greeted each other, understanding that it had been a month since they had seen each other. No one knew that Kagome had a twin brother. Not even the Shippo kid Kagome brought with her. This was the first time the kid would ever see Senji and he knew that Kagome only hoped the results were fair.

A sigh escaped Kagome's lips, as she snuggled close to her brother. She was so happy to see him again, since they were closer then anyone else. The two of them had a special bond that they would never have with Souta or their mother. It was a bond only twins could have and understand. It a bond that was impossible to break unless you killed one of them, and they were each hard to kill. They were trained to be warriors, thinkers, and maybe even considered royalty, if their grandfather hadn't told everyone they were his grandchildern.

A slight smiled formed on Kagome's lips, at that thought. She knew she wasn't some weakling human wench as Inuyasha said she was. She was actually a pretty good fighter. Give her a katana and she would probably kick your ass any day. She loved her bow the most since it was what she was best at. That and doing anything with fire. It was a secret the twins kept from everyone, since they had discovered young that they could control fire. They knew even then that it was a unnatural gift and not one to be said out loud. They could only hope that they would be able to keep it a secret and never slip up. And for most of their life, they have kept the secret from everyone.

Kagome pulled away from Senji, smiling happily. She then spoke, with happiness clearly in her voice. "It seems you have missed me as well, Senji. Might I ask how you how you have been?"

Senji laughed and wrapped an arm around Kagome's shoulders, as he guided her into the house. "I have been good Kagome. Things have been quite boring with you gone. Miyuki has been harder to control then ever. She wouldn't stop trying to climb down the well to go to the past to find you. I swear, my little niece is quite the troublemaker, as you were when we were kids. I don't know how you can get her to listen to you. I had to bribe her with stories, cookies, and pretend princess dress up to get her to settle down. Can you please tell me your secret?"

Kagome laughed at this and shook her head. "I cannot tell you Senji. She is my daughter and I cannot explain how she listens to me. I know that she looks up to you as a fatherly figure. I am glad she does. I know that she at least has someone as great as you watching over her as I look for the last Shikon Jewel shard."

Senji nodded defeated, just as Toki walked over smiling. She was a fair young woman with ebony black hair and the strangest fire-red-brown eyes you have ever seen. Their mother never talked about their father, saying it was too painful to remember. They had let the subject drop until recently, knowing their mother would have to tell them sooner or later. She was only 43 as she claimed though she looked more around 25. It was one of the many mysteries of the Higurashi family. That and why their grandfather always thought people were demons, especially their cat Buyo and dog, Shadow.

Shadow was the strangest dog you will ever see. She had a white-silver coat and silver-blue gray eyes that seemed to stare into your soul. She had the form of a wolf and the mind of a dog. You could never tell with her, since she was one of the strangest animals you can ever own. She was quite intelligent and seemed to act like a human sometimes. They never knew anymore, since Shadow was now 4 and had appeared when Miyuki did. You can usually see her laying quite under the God Tree, watching Miyuki play in the yard. It seemed like she protected the little girl, since Miyuki was known to get into a lot of trouble.

Toki smiled at her two oldest childern, pushing an ebony lock out of her face. She walked over to hug Kagome, after giving Souta a stern look and telling him to stay away from the Oden. She hugged her daughter tightly, knowing that today was the day she would tell the two everything she knew about her and their past. She did not know much herself. All she knew was that the answers laid in that well, that was the passway from their time to the Fedual Era, where Kagome's friends were searching for the Shikon no Tama.

Kagome hugged her mother back, glad to see her again. "Its good to see you mom. I missed you a lot. How has Miyuki been? Not too much trouble I hope. What are you cooking? Is that Oden?!! It is Oden!! YAH!!! ODEN!!!!!" Kagome was smiling from ear to ear, since Oden was her favorite dish in the whole entire world.

Toki just laughed and nodded. "Enough questions dear. Now please call my granddaughter and your friend to dinner. It is ready."

Kagome nodded and called out to her two kids. "SHIPPO!!! MIYUKI!!! DINNER!!!!!" Within seconds, the two childern were at the dinner table, forks and knives in their hands, ready to eat. Kagome could not stop from laughing, kissing the two before sitting down inbetween them. Everyone else followed her example and within seconds, the whole family was eating oden and were chatting happily.

"....And thats when I said you can't just go outside just wearing shorts. And you know what he said? He told me that he would do whatever he wanted, as long as he was comfortable and was wearing shorts that made girls see his strong muscular chest." said Toki, shaking her head.

Kagome sighed, placing her fork down. It was a half an hour into dinner and everything so far had been fun. Miyuki and Shippo had a food fight, Buyo had used her legs as a scratch post, and her mother was telling her stupid stories about Mr. Shintaka, next door. She just nodded her head, smiling slightly. "Well I guess Mr. Shintaka never learns. He always seems to love to do crazy things, especially in the middle of winter."

Toki just nodded and stood up, taking everyone's plates and setting them in the sink. She looks at Souta and smiles. "Souta darling, can you please take care of the dishes tonight. I really have to talk to your brother and sister. And you get Shippo and Miyuki to help you. It would be so helpful to me, darling."

Souta sighed and nodded, standing up. He took Miyuki's and Shippo's hands and led them into the kitchen, grumbling about very demanding parents. Miyuki just giggled and talked to Shippo, who elbowed Souta in the gut while continuing to talk to Miyuki. Toki, Kagome, and Senji headed into the living room to talk. Not just any talk. The talk that would forever change their life.

Kagome and Senji sat on the couch, as Toki sat in the chair across from them. She sighed and took a deep breath, staring at them silently. "Kagome. Senji. It is about time I told you about my past. I didn't come from Tokyo."

Kagome looked at her confused. "Then where from mom?"

Toki sighed and continued. "I am not even your grandfather's daughter. I came from the well and so did you two......."
