Kagome stepped up to the black void well. "We have to get them," she said to the three adults behind her. Without saying anything she climbed onto the well she hadn't touched for over ten years. Breathing in slightly she let herself fall, but she wasn't greeted with the floating feeling she felt when ever she time travelled. Instead she felt herself hit the bottom of the well hard. "Ow."
"Kagome?" InuYasha called down.
"InuYasha, it didn't let me through!" Kagome looked at the jewel around her neck. It didn't glow, shimmer, or react to any thing in the small dry well. "I can't get there."
InuYasha jumped down next to her. He fully expected to be able to travel to his own time, but came up with the same results as his wife. "How did they get there if we can't?" Kagome looked at the other two heads peering into the well and shook her head. None of them had the answer.
"Maybe they can come back," Miroku called down.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
Dev jumped into the well for the twenty-ith time that afternoon. "NO! Let me through! I want home!"
Chiann let a silent tear fall down her face. No sound came from her as she collapsed in defeat against the ground. Ryu watched and noticed her giving up. "Chiann, Dev's going to get us home. He's been here before, he can get us home."
"If he's been here before, then why can't we get home?" Shido asked angerly.
"He's better then you Shido. He's cooler, and older, and has a better mom then you!" Ryu yelled at the human boy.
"Shut up! At least I look better, dog!" Shido yelled at the older hanyou.
Ryu growled and lowered to the ground.
"See, you are a dog! I knew it!" Shido accused. "Only dogs growl!"
"Shut up!" Ryu yelled as he charged towards the boy. The got into a small scuffle. Ryu started bitting, and Shido was hitting him over the head with his fists.
Chiann started crying hard and loud. Sobs and screaming filled the air. Dev came out of the well and tried to tear the two boys apart, but he was having trouble with his overly strong brother.
"Shut up," a male, deep, calm voice said from behind the group of children. Even though it hadn't been barely heard over the fight, all the kids knew that they should listen. They all stopped and looked over at the person who had spoken.
There stood a woman a couple of years older then the seventeen year old Dev, a young man that could have been in his early twenties, and a toad like creature with a staff that bore two heads. The man, his silver hair billowing in the small amount of wind that suddenly blew into the clearing, scowled down at the kids. The woman also wore a scowl, but it didn't look like it should be on her beautiful face.
"Sesshomaru?" Dev asked as he stood up from the boys who still lay on the ground in a pretzel shape.
"Lord Sesshomaru to you human!" the toad yelled at the teenage boy. Dev smiled.
"Oh, good! Yes, good. You have to help us!" Dev said as he stepped closer the trio.
"And why should Lord Sesshomaru help you?" the woman spoke.
"Rin?" Dev asked the lady.
"Do I know you?" the woman asked.
"Yes, I'm Dev. Kagome's son! Remember? I was here about ten years ago, with InuYasha, and my mom, and Sango, and Miroku, and Shippo? Remember?" Dev asked as he looked pleadingly at the demon and human.
"It's safe Rin. You may call Kisa," Sesshomaru said as he glared at Dev. Dev swallowed a lump that suddenly formed in his throat. "Calm down boy, I don't eat human."
"Good to know," Dev said under his breath. He then looked behind him. Chiann had stopped crying and was kneeling on the ground not looking at anything but the grass. Ryu, standing, didn't look at Sesshomaru either as his head was bowed.
Shido was standing and looked directly into Sesshomaru's gold eyes. Dev looked at the demon, wondering what came over his younger siblings.
"They know their place," Sesshomaru said to the unasked question.
"What do you mean?" Dev asked. Any information on demons at that point in time would do a lot of good. They weren't able to return home, they would probably have to stay with Sesshomaru.
"We have order, boy. Learn your place too," the older demon didn't look behind him, but his attention obviously turned to what had come out of the bushes behind him. Rin returned with a little girl, about the age of eight, Chiann's age. The girls hair was silver, and her little dog ears turned atop her head as she listened around her. "This is Kisa."
"Kisa, huh? Is she Rin and your daughter?" Dev asked. Sesshomaru didn't show any emotion, but Rin nodded. Kisa just stared at the kids.
"Introduce yourselfs," Sesshomaru ordered.
"Uh, oh, right," Dev looked behind him, "Well, I'm Dev. Kagome and Ashi's son."
The others behind him stared at him. Dev knew they would. They had always thought he was InuYasha's son. Ryu stepped forward, his black hair falling from beneath his red baseball cap. He slowly reached up and took it off. His deep-blue eyed gaze went to Sesshomaru. "My name is Ryu. I'm Kagome and InuYasha's son."
Chiann came forward. Silver hair shifted as she took the blue baseball cap off her head. Her siver ears twitched in new freedom. Her ice blue eyes looked uneasily at her uncle, "I...I'm...Chiann...InuYasha and Kagome," she said the last part hurridly and the turned away from the demon's gaze and let a tear fall from her face. Dev didn't move to comfort her, wondering why he didn't.
Shido looked at the demon. "I'm Shido. And I'm the only child of my mom and dad." He held himself up proudly and almost angerly. Ryu leaned over and smacked him on the back of the head.
"Dumb ass!" Ryu said. "His mom and dad are Sango and Miroku." Ryu bowed his head to Sesshomaru.
"He will learn. Now, Dev, what is it that you need my help with?" Sesshomaru turned from the children to the almost adult.
"We can't get back through the well. I know my parents would have been here by now, if they could," Dev said. "Please, can you help us figure a way back?"
"I thought you father died," Sesshomaru questioned.
"I...I call InuYasha my father now," Dev said. He held his head down, so as not to show Sesshomaru how much that statement had hurt him.
"Well, if I knew the way back, I would tell you. I only know that that well is able to send you there, but if you can't get through it...then there is no way back for you. I want you out of here though. InuYasha gave me this land, and I would hate to fight his kids on my land," Sesshomaru looked at the two young hanyous.
Chiann stepped back. Ryu didn't look up, but didn't move either. Dev glared though, "We're not here for the Western lands! We want home! Now, are you going to help us, or not?"
"Temper, temper," Sesshomaru smirked. "You must have come for a reason. Why?"
"I followed them," Dev pointed to his little siblings. "They said they heard a woman, and the jumped into the well. We were transported here, but it should have been impossible. My mom and Miroku sealed the well." He went deep into thought, trying to figure it all out.
Sesshomaru didn't say anything as he also thought about what might have happened. He broke the silence a few minutes later, "Something brought you here."
"Yeah, but what?" Dev asked.
"If we had all day to ponder on such things, I would stay. I don't have all day, so we're going to leave right now. I will check on you kids in a couple of days. Don't leave the village over there," he pointed towards the old village that would soon become Tokyo. "You'll know when I come back and meet me in the forest."
"Right," Dev said. He watched as the group turned away, Jaken being annoying as they left the clearing.
"Lord Sesshomaru, why would we return for them?" Jaken asked the unanswering Lord of the Western lands.
They dissapeared into the brush. Dev looked at the kids, "Well, we have to travel a little to the village."
They all looked at him. Ryu said the question running through all their heads, "Do we know anyone there?"
"Not really. Kaede died, and our parents are in our time. I'm sure they have a new miko there though," Dev said as he ushered the kids towards the small village.
"What's a miko?" Shido asked.
"A priestess. A person with special powers. My mom is a miko," Dev answered.
"Oh," all three kids said. They walked the rest of the way in silence, wondering what was to happen to them. And how could they go home.
