Kagome cried against InuYasha's shoulder. Sango cried too, Miroku holding her. "They'll be back," Keri assured them.
"Keri, they went down the well!" Kagome told the girl. She had explained everything to the woman who had been her best friend for years. "We can't get through it, and they haven't returned. What are we going to do?"
"There has to be a way through. You're a miko right? Use your power or something!" Keri tried. She pointed to the well house, indicating her direction for the power.
"Don't you think we tried that?" InuYasha growled. He was frustrated, angry, and depressed. And when he felt these things, anger always showed up to the outside world.
"InuYasha, she's just trying to help," Kagome sniffled. She whipped her tears on a cloth and looked at her friend, "I don't think we can get there without what ever brought them there. I told them not to go in there! I had told them it was dangrous..."
"Kagome, we all told them," Miroku said.
"They'll come back," Shippo said as he sat on the couch next to Mrs. Higurashi, who nodded. Kirara mewed and rubbed against Sango's leg.
For the rest of the night they sat and talked about the different ways they could get into the Sengoku Jidai.

They stepped into the small village as the sun started to set behind the trees. "Oh no!" Dev heard from his brother. He turned around and saw his brother and sister looking horrified as their dog ears, claws, and fangs all started to shrink and change form. They turned human right before the two human's eyes. Dev looked into the sky and saw a full moon beaming down. "Crap," he muttered. "I'm sorry, I didn't know that tonight was the full moon."
"It's ok. Not your fault," Ryu assured him. He looked around and saw grubby people who hadn't washed in days walk around the village. "Wow, I'm thankful I don't have my normal smell now."
"I...smell them still," Chiann said quietly. Dev turned and looked at the little girl. He smiled. 'She sure is talking a lot today,' he thought. She looked at him, then back down to the floor.
They walked the rest of the way into the village, some people stopped and stared, other decided it was enough just to run into their homes and hide. "They're weird," Shido said.
"They think you're weird," Dev told the boy. "The only one who's ever come into this village with clothes like us is mom. She made me dress in a kimono like Inu...uh, dad."
The others ignored his mess up and kept walking with him. They reached a hut that had a bright candle burning inside. "Miko?" Dev called.
A young woman with flowing black hair came out from the grass door. "Yes?" she said as she looked the four over. Her long flowing kimono was red and white. The candle made her face a shadow to the kids.
"We're in need of your assistance," Dev said politely. He bowed low, the kids followed his example. When he straightened he looked at her expectantly.
"I can't turn away a person in need. Come in children," she said as she turned back into the hut. The kids all followed, Chiann tripping over her feet up the creaking wooden stairs.
"Ow...stupid human legs," she muttered. Making the rest of the way up, she walked into the hut and came face to face with the miko. She could see the lines of her pure skin, the brown of her eyes, and the red of her lips. She's about Dev's age, Chiann had thought.
"Not human?" the lady asked. She looked Chiann up and down trying to decide something. "You don't seem demon."
"I...not...demon," Chiann shivered from the intense stare.
"Hey, leave her alone," Dev called from the other side of the room. He glared at the woman. "She's just a kid."
"All right," the woman walked over and motioned for them to sit on the mats that surrounded the fire in the middle of the room. After everyone sat, huddled against Dev, she spoke, "What's the assistance you need?"
Dev looked at the kids, "Well, we need to return to our home."
"Where is your home?" she asked. She poured some tea into cups and passed them around. Shido took a sip, and made a sour face.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Tea," Dev said as he drank his. He didn't make faces, didn't studder, and didn't quit drinking till it was gone. "Drink it."
Shido made another face and looked at the other kids. They made faces too as they drank theirs, but did as they were told. Bitting his tongue to hold back any protest he drank his tea.
Dev turned back to the miko, "We live in Tokyo."
"Toe-key-oh?" the miko sounded it out. "Is that a new village? A nomad group?"
"Uhm, it's a village...really big...in the future right on this spot," Dev said slowly. He didn't know how to explain it. It was better with their mom because she at least looked like someone who used to live in this era.
"Kaede told me, before she died, about a girl from the future. Do you know her?" the woman said. She looked at the kids like they were lying.
"Kagome! Kagome was her name!" Ryu yelled at the lady. "She's my mom! And InuYasha my father!"
"InuYasha...the hanyou? But, your human," she said. Now she really wasn't believing them.
"It's the full moon. They turn on the full moon. In the morning you'll see," Shido said, nodding.
"Then tomorrow we shall see. Sleep here tonight," the lady stood up and started for an adjoining room.
"Wait, what about names?" Dev asked.
"Right, I'm Miha," the lady bowed shortly.
"I'm Dev. This is Ryu, Chiann, and Shido," Dev introduced, pointing to each in turn, the child bowing. They smiled at her, showing pure innocents.
After the introductions Miha situated them for sleep and went to bed herself. Dev slept almost immediatly, Shido following closly behind. Ryu stayed up and watched the moon, till it wasn't in his view anymore. His mind wandered to his parents, his grandma, his uncles and aunt. A small tear fell down his face. Chiann watched her brother, as she thought too. Then sleep over took them, and they went into dream land as well.

SilverStarWing: I already said in the last one that Shippo lived with Kagome and them. He's in the future era. Hoped everyone else got it though. I placed him in this for everyone.
Elendil Star-Lover: You spelled it right. At least according to me. Kanji is so hard to translate sometimes! ^_^
A/N:I must be bringing these chapter's out too fast. Not enough reviews...so maybe I'll go slower. One chapter every two weeks or something. What do you think?
