Running...

"Okasan! Otousan!!" Kagome cried. Her kitsune ears twitched, trying to find her parents call.

"They aren't here Little Lady, you're all on your own." A sneering voice said as Kagome was snatched up. "And with you dead I can easily rewrite the Eastern history to where I'm Lord and not your fucking father." A strange youkai said, appearing.

It looked like an old man, dressed in a black cloak holding an hourglass. His eyes where hooded by the cloak over his head, and he had a long gray beard that came to about the middle of his chest. Kagome could tell he had an evil aura, and he wanted to harm her. The time youkai grabbed Kagome, who yelped and squirmed trying to get loose.

"Let me go! Let me go! LET ME GO!" With the last scream, the small 4- year-old glowed pink, and the time youkai's hand sizzled off.

"Gah! You little bitch! Come back here!" The time youkai hissed, throwing out his other hand to make Kagome freeze. He then picked up the frozen little hanyou and ran off into the forest.

"KAGOME!!" Kagome heard her otousan scream. She could still hear, sense things, smell, and move her eyes. She smelt her otousan and okasan gaining on the time youkai. The time youkai cried out when her otousan's claws came in contact with it's back.

Blood surged from the time youkai's wounds, but it pushed on, it had to find a place it could use to escape through time. It saw a well up ahead, it could use the well!

"DROP MY KAGOME!" Kagome heard her okasan scream, and the release of an arrow.

An arrow's tip sliced through the back of the time youkai's and burst from the other side, droplets of blood from it's heart spilling everywhere. What was worse was it was a sacred arrow. It was beginning to disintegrate its body. However they couldn't stop the time youkai now! It had made it to the well. Still holding the frozen Kagome, it jumped into the well, and muttered a spell.

"Time of present, time of past, hear me now and hear me fast. This well shall be a portal for time, that only Kagome and people with a piece of Kagome can use to make it back to the past. Forwards or Backwards it matters not which, into the Future I wish!"

The well glowed blue as the youkai kept disintegrating, burning from the hole made by the sacred arrow. It dropped Kagome when it was barely a burned away crisp. Kagome landed on the ground, bumping her head on a rock and her out. The sacred arrow dropped onto Kagome's chest. Still miko power pumping through it, the arrow started to purify Kagome's youkai blood. The arrow stopped glowing, when Kagome had turned all ningen.

A young woman, Mrs. Higurashi, peered into the well after hearing the cries of a child. Finding the child she called down to her, "Honey are you lost?"

The little girl looked up at the woman, "I don't know...I can't remember anything." Kagome replied back.

"Oh dear, well climb up the ladder, and come inside, I'll see if ojiichan and I can help you." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome did as she was told the best she could in the kimono she was wearing. "Do you remember your name?" Mrs. Higurashi asked. Kagome looked at the woman dressed in strange clothes, "No...but I think it says my name on the sleeve." Kagome said showing Mrs. Higurashi the sleeve that had bKagome/b sewn into it.

"Kagome huh? I guess that's what we'll call you..."

Kagome woke with a start, panting slightly she stood up, being careful not to disturb the neko and kitsune kit in her bed. 'Could...could that be the reason I have no memories of after I was 4? Could I be that lost Kagome?' Kagome walked out on her balcony. She had left the window open, she always did at home in the future because she liked it a little cool. 'But what if I am their lost child? Did they give up a long time ago looking for me?' Kagome was still unsure if she was their lost child, but it did explain a lot of things. Like how familiar Azuma smelt to her, why she had always liked inus and kitsunes more than nekos, why she had never really felt like she was a part of her family even though she did love them, it just explained so much! Could she really be this lost Kagome?

Kagome's hearing then picked up the sounds of crying and a soft sobbing of, "Please Kami-sama, let her be my little aijou! My little Kagome!" Kagome looked down a couple of balconies, they were set like a stairway, to see Aitome crying on the railing and praying to Kami-sama. Kagome tried to look back in her mind, when a small memory of looking up at Aitome and Azuma's faces, and a small ring...The ring! Kagome zoomed over to her pack and mercilessly ripped it apart, books, ramen packets, color crayons and book for Shippo, excreta, till she pulled out the small ring. It was too tiny for her middle finger now, so she had put it where she could always carry it. It was golden and had on the outside: To Kagome, Azuma and Aitome's aijou.

Kagome rushed out to the balcony and started jumping from balcony to balcony till she landed in the balcony with Aitome in it. Aitome jumped slightly startled and blinked away some tears.

Kagome handed her the ring, "Did you give this to your daughter?" Kagome asked hopefully.

Aitome gasped when she read the ring, "Yes...Where did you get this?"

Kagome shrugged, "I don't know, I can't remember anything past 4 years old...but I just had a dream of you two and that time youkai..."

"O-o-oh Kami-sama My Kagome!" Aitome cried wrapping her arms around Kagome's neck. "It is you! It is! It's My Kagome, Our Aijou has returned to us!" Aitome cried out.

Azuma came out onto the balcony and was thrown back some when Aitome hurled herself into his chest showing him the ring. Azuma started at the ring in wonder before looking back at Kagome, tears forming in his eyes, "My Kagome.Our Aijou." Aitome pulled Kagome over to herself and Azuma, who gulfed them into a hug. Kagome began to cry as memories of them started to flood back.

Shippo and Raijin watched from Kagome's balcony, Shippo smiling and Raijin looking on knowingly.
