Any further delays will be because of finals for me…but be on the lookout I plan to work on it while I'm taking a break for studying.

So as always big thanks to all who review and for all the encouragement!!!

Without further ado here's the next chapter…

Who Knew

Chapter 4

At the shrine in modern Tokyo…

The form of a young woman stared mindlessly out of a window, thinking of how long ago it had been since she had seen the face of her cousin. Her aunt had gone into hysterics when she had been told that her only daughter was missing. The police had searched and found no trace of her. "Where could she be," she wondered.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear someone calling her from outside her window.

"Sango!! Hey Sango!!" Miroku called from below her window.

He had been calling her for almost ten minutes now and still no reply. Sango had become withdrawn with the sudden disappearance of Kagome, and being the kind, generous person he was, he had come over everyday to check up on her and cheer her. Lately, it was becoming worse, she hardly spoke to anyone and went directly home after school to see if any word had come about Kagome.

"SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGO!!" that got her attention.

"WHAT," she replied startled. "Oh, hey Miroku, you startled me."

"How are you my sweet? Where are thy thoughts today?"

"I was just thinking about Kagome again."

"Sango give it time, don't worry so much I'm sure she must be fine. If nothing has come so far, it must mean she is well where she is being held hostage. If something bad had happened we would have known already."

"I guess you are right, but it's so weird. Nothing…it has been so long."

"Sango dear, would you come down. There is something I want to show you."

"Miroku, I don't feel like doing much right now. Thanks for coming down, maybe later."

"But Sango," he said giving her the puppy face. "I've been calling you for about ten minutes the least you could do is come down real quick. I promise it wont take long."

"Miroku."

"Please!!!"

No reply.

"Pretty please!!!"

She sighed, rolled her eyes at him, and laughed a rare laugh at his antics. He was down on one knee like he was proposing, begging her.

"Alright," she said throwing her arms up in the air in a defeated gesture, laughing the whole time.

Once she was down…

"So what is it you want to show me?" she said arms crossed standing in front of him.

Still on the floor on one knee, "I'm honored that you grace me with your presence. One quick question…would..you..bare my..child?"

Her eye started to twitch, "You called me down for something like this," feeling the all familiar touch of his hand of her behind.

"Hehehee," he giggled with a perverted look on his face.

"Miroku…you…you PERVERT!!!" she screamed planting a slap on his face.

He was sprawled on the ground on his side now as fuming Sango turned to leave, but before she could leave he took hold of wrist.

"Sorry Sango, I just had to make sure you were still in there somewhere. You been out of it a lot lately and I was worried about you. Please don't leave, I really do have something I want to show you."

She was stunned by his words, could it really be that for once his actions were not entirely perverted. She slowly turned to look at him, "Ok."

"Please follow me," he said as he stood up.

She agreed and he let go of her wrist. He took her to the well house and sat down on one of the steps leading into it. He patted the spot beside her indicating for he to sit.

She sat, "so what is it Miroku? What did you want to show me?"

"Would you close your eyes real quick?"

"Ok"

He took a cutely wrapped box out of his pocket and placed in on her lap. "Ok you can look."

"Miroku," looking at the box on her lap. "What is this, why are you giving me something?"

"Don't ask why? Please just open it," he said not looking at her.

"Ok," she opened the box and inside was a locket. "Miroku!!!" she was stunned again. It was beautiful, heart shaped and it had the words, keep smiling we all love you very much, on the back. In the inside was a picture of all her friends laughing looking like they are having a wonderful time. "Thank You," she said with tears in her eyes.

"Your welcome, I just wanted to remind you that there are those who care about you and we suffer when we see you suffer."

"This means a lot to me thank you," she said giving him a warm hug. It felt good to hug someone, especially when the person you hug was someone you knew cared about you.

Miroku was surprised when she reached over and threw her arms around him. He was glad that he had been able to make her feel better, even happier that she had hugged him.

Well, like anything nice involving Miroku, it didn't last to long.

"MIROKU!!"

"Sangooo!!!"

"YOU PERVERT!!!" she shoved him. "Why do you always have to ruin everything by groping me?"

"Sorry Sango, I can't help myself I don't know why."

"I could hit you so hard right now but…" she trailed off.

"But what?" he asked wondering why she didn't finish.

"The…the…" she said pointing behind him to within the well house.

"The what?" he asked looking behind him. "WHAT THE?"

The well was glowing again, the same brilliant pink light shining from within it.

"Miroku…its..its glowing?"

"Yeah, I know but why?"

"Listen, I hear voices…it sounds like…" she said overjoyed.

"Kagome?"

She walked closer to it, "I hear her, come on let's find her. I want to go to her."

"Sango…I don't know about this."

"Miroku, I'm going. It would be nice if you could come with me, but if you don't want to I understand. I have to find her."

"Sango, I don't trust it. You don't know what could happen."

"We'll then I guess this farewell. I'll see you when I bring her home. See ya," she said as she turned to jump in the well.

"Wait sango," he called after her. "I'm coming too," he said as he ran to her.

"Really?"

"I couldn't forgive myself if something happen to you, after all you still haven't answered my question."

"Miroku"

"Well then let's go," he said holding out his hand.

"Ok" she said talking a hold of it. "Let's go," she said as they jumped in.

Meanwhile on the other side of the well…

"KAGOME WATCH OUT!!!" Inuyasha screamed as the demon snakes with two heads, second head turned towards her. They had both dodged the first head but the second one was heading her way.

"Way ahead of you!!" She yelled back, as she quickly landed on the ground and dash off to right avoiding the second head.

Inuyasha caught her in the air and jumped off again. She took the opportunity and strung her bow with an arrow, letting it loose as they flew by.

"Ok get them," she called as they landed.

"Way ahead of you," he said as he used his ironreaver soul stealer attack. (Sorry about the spelling of that, have no clue how to spell it)

"Great job!!!" she called as she ran towards him. The two headed snake demon was demolished by both of their attacks.

"Keh!"

"Well that took forever, considering we had to lure it out of the village. This one actually made it through."

"Yeah, these attacks are getting heavier everyday."

"Yeah I know, but we can take them. Let's head back."

"Kagome"

"Yeah"

"I smell something…magic…and something familiar."

"Inuyasha we are near the well, it's actually right behind those trees behind us," she said turning around to look it.

"Yeah…it's strange. I remember when we gave up coming here to see if we could go back home."

"Inu..Inuyasha,"

"Why are you stuttering?"

"Turn around"

"Why?"

"Just do it!!"

"Ok," he said as he turned around. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!"

"Inuyasha," she said getting excited. "LET'S GO!! THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO GO HOME!!"

"yeah"

"COME ON!!"

"OK," he said as he caught her and took off with her.

They where there in one leap.

"I can't believe it, we can finally go home."

"Kagome…what about things here? Who will save them? And what about that Naraku character?"

"Inuyasha this is the past, so obviously things worked themselves out."

"I don't know, I don't think we are done here. I think we were meant to be here. We have a destiny to fulfill."

"Inuyasha"

"Think about it, it wasn't a coincidence that we fell into the well and ended up here. What will happen if we leave?"

"I guess you are right…but what if this is our only chance to go home. What if it never glows again?" she asked leaning into him.

She knew what her duties were and it saddened her that this could probably the last chance to go home. She wouldn't leave them, what would become of the Kaede, the village, and specially Miaka.

"Don't worry I think we will get our chance when we take care of things here," he said as he held her. "Plus I don't want to go back to you ignoring me. We have grown so close, I don't want to loose you again."

"Inuyasha," she mumbled into his chest.

"I love you…you know this right. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of our lives here if I got to spend it with you."

"I wouldn't either," she said lifting her face to his and meeting his lips half way.

That's when…

"MIROKU YOU FREAKING PERVERT!!!"

"Sorry Sango I couldn't help myself, they were right there in my face. It wasn't my fault this time it was this well."

"Right you just happened to fall face in my bosom when we landed," said gaining on him since there wasn't much space for him to run.

"I swear Sango, it wasn't me."

"Inuyasha…do you hear that?"

"Yeah, it sounds like those too found the well and Miroku is about to get his butt kicked by Sango."

"Yeah," she laughed.

"Should we help him?"

"I think so."

They peered over the rim of the well and sure enough there was Sango ready to kick Miroku's ass.

"SANGO!!" Kagome called excitedly. "SANGO"

"OI MIROKU!!! YOU BETTER THANK US FOR SAVING YOUR SORRY ASS, YOU LEACH!!"

"Kag…Kagome!!" she looked up and saw a familiar face she's been looking for, for months. "KAGOOOME!!!!!"

"I guess I have to get them out right?"

"yup"

"Keh" he said as he jumped down and scooped them out.

"Who are you?" Sango asked as they stepped out.

"Yeah, who are you? How do you know my name?"

"OI!! Stupid as always."

"HEY!!" they shouted in unison.

"Not so loud you!!!"

"Sango, I missed you so much!!!" Kagome said as she walked towards her and threw her arms around her.

"Oh Kagome…we were so worried about you? It's been so long, auntie really misses you."

"I know I miss mama so much," she said as she cried. She had been so worry about her family, she knew they would be concerned for her.

"We missed you too," Sango began crying as well.

"Oh no, here go the water works," Inuyasha whined.

"Yeah I know what you mean…so who are you?"

"It's me idiot…Inuyasha"

"Inu…Inuyasha but how?"

"It's long story, Kagome we should head back to the village. There is a lot of explaining to do."

"Yeah," she said finally letting go of Sango. "It's much safer there."

"The village?" Sango asked confused.

"Yeah, where do you think we are Kansas? This isn't the wizard of Oz"

"Where are we?" Miroku asked.

"Welcome to the Warring States Era," Kagome said with a smile as they began walking towards the village.

"THE WARRING STATES ERA" Sango spat out shocked.

"As in the past?" Miroku continued.

"Yup" Inuyasha answered.

"OH boy, you have a lot of explain to do," Sango replied.

And so they headed towards the village where a lot of questions where to be answered. Once inside the village, more precisely Kaede hut, Kagome told the story of everything that had happened.

"So you se we have been stuck in the past fighting demons and strengthening ourselves in order to defeat this Naraku guy who is after me," she ended. "Not to mention protecting this village."

"Wow that's an amazing tale but why are we here then?" Miroku asked.

"We don't know, you just kind of showed up and we happened to be in the area."

"Ye must have roles to play in this,"

"You must be kidding," Sango said.

"Yes ye are. Ye like Kagome and Inuyasha have unfinished business you have to deal with. You will be able to go home until you finish it."

"Listen to the Old Hag…I have unfinished business with you two as well."

"Who is that?" Sango asked.

"Let me guess this would the Naraku freak," Miroku answered.

"So right you are."

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT YOU BASTARD?" Inuyasha asked as he ran out of the hut to face Naraku with everyone trailing behind. He was still angry about all he had done to Kagome. "It's about time you show your ugly face."

"You dare to talk to Naraku in such a way. WORTHLESS HANYOU!!!" he said as he waved his hand and miasma shot at him.

"INUYASHA LOOK OUT!!!" Kagome called as she pushed him out of the way.
