*~*~* "AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!" InuYasha howled as Kagome snapped her backpack shut.

"Yes again" Kagome said while sighing sadly 'here we go again'

"YOU CAN'T GO! WE....er...." Inuyasha said suddenly adverting his eyes to the floor of the hut realizing his number one excuse was finished.

"There are no more shards and no more Naraku so I'm going home to catch up on my studies" she said as she stood and heaved her yellow backpack onto her shoulder.

InuYasha crossed his arms still staring at the floor contemplating forcing her to stay here but then he realized he would be sat (like so many times before) like there was no tomorrow.

Kagome sighed sadly at InuYasha's almost-pouting form "listen.....I'll be back in about three days alright?"

InuYasha remained staring at that floor and Kagome just walked out realizing that night would fall before she got an answer from him. She glanced around the little bustling village; Shippo was playing with a little boy and a little girl doing small tricks for them and started playing a game of hide-and-seek with them. Miroku was sitting at the base of the tree Kirara in his lap and Sango approaching with a basket of wet laundry in her arms. She couldn't help but smile at the village which would someday become the busy city of Tokyo, Japan. She tried to imagine her school at the edge of the village, WacDonald's over there instead house and the fields housing tall sky scrapers, to Kagome it was really hard to see a cozy, yet busy, little village become the monster city which was Tokyo.

She entered the little, yet well-trodden, path to the well and hiked up the steep hill. She smiled as she saw moonflowers bloom on the thick vine that fell down to the bottom of the well, the exact vine that she usually climbed up unless InuYasha pulled her up as she clung to the vine. She dropped her backpack next to the well and sat on the edge, her legs dangling on the inside of the well pointing to the darkness. She smiled a small smile as she grabbed the handle of the bag and slipped over the edge only glimpsing the bottom before a flash of blue enveloped her into the space-time continuum and landed hands and knees, on the bottom of the well that was part of her home, Higurashi shrine.

*~*~*

"Mom I'm home!" Kagome called as she opened the door that led into the kitchen tapping the toes of her shoes against the rope-woven mat before taking them off.

Mrs.Higurashi looked up from reading in the dinning room as she heard her daughter call out.

"Kagome! How was your visit?" she said smiling at her while subconsciously marking her page with an origami book mark.

Kagome smiled as she revealed the Jewel that hung around her neck to her mother.

"You finished it!!!" she said while jumping to her feet and gently holding the Jewel that's chain encircled her daughter's neck.

Kagome nodded happily and Mrs.Higurashi beamed at her daughter and embraced her. She knew how hard it was for her only daughter, physically and emotionally, for her to collect those shards. She remembered oh too well when she found her daughter kneeling in front of the Goshinboku ((sacred or holy tree)) crying yet smiling and running into her arms.

"You should go refresh your bag and take a nap, are you going to school tomorrow?" Mrs.Higurashi said whiling pulling out of her motherly embrace.

"Yes" Kagome said suddenly having a look of dread over her features "I have SOOOOO much homework to make up!" she practically cried.

"You can eat in your bedroom and I'll take care of your backpack, now shoo!" Mrs.Higurashi said while relieving her daughter of her bag and gently pushing her in the direction of the stairs.

She watched Kagome walk up the stairs slowly watching her sadly droop her shoulders with the thought of doing her mountain high algebra homework. Mrs.Higurashi smiled secretly to herself as she walked into the kitchen and put all of the dirty Tuberware's and silverware into the dishwasher.

'If only she knew......'

*~*~*

"KAGOME!!!!!" said three shocked voices that belonged to her present day friends.

She turned around smiling and sweat dropping as she heard her friends voices and stare at her in awe.

'Wonder what gramps said now'

"W-we heard about your.....brain tumor" said her curly haired friend Ayumi.

Kagome's eyes widened in horror 'b-brain t-t-tumor!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!! IM HAVING A TALK WITH GRANDPA WHEN I GET HOME!!!!!!!' she mentally screamed while putting on one of her highly fake and faltering smiles.

Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri gave her looks of sympathy and almost started crying.

"I'm surprised the doctors let you back to school! I mean you're always sick but I didn't know you were THAT sick!" Eri said her eyes watering up

"Whoa, WHOA! You guys it's not a fatal tumor....there removing it within the week...nothing to worry about" Kagome said waving her hands frantically in front of her as if trying to defend yourself.

"You're serious?" Yuka said wiping her eyes on the sleeve of her school uniform.

"YES!" Kagome exclaimed sighing in relief 'pulled that one out of the bag'.

She and her trio of futuristic friends continued walking to school Yuka telling the three of them about this cute boy asking miss popular out and how hot the algebra teacher is. Kagome was spacing out, watching the cars zip by barely paying attention to Yuka while Eri and Ayumi lapped it up until....

"So Kagome.....how's your boyfriend?" Yuka said smirking at her friend. Kagome froze to the spot as she painfully remembered when her friends met InuYasha.

*~*~*NOTE: this has happened but only in the Manga...I think, my bro gave me details so if im not very accurate please don't flame me!!! ^_^ *~*~*

*FLASHBACK*

Kagome sighed to herself and she nudged the door open with her toe since she was carrying four steaming cups of green tea in her arms. She looked up and almost dropped the tea. There...in a white Bandana....was InuYasha sitting on her bed looking at her friends with narrow eyes.

She just stood frozen in the doorway as her friends looked up.

"Ya know Kagome, your boyfriend isn't as bad as you always say he is" Yuka said narrowing her eyes at Kagome.

She walked stiffly and placed the tea tray on her desk and sat down next to InuYasha as they inquired him.

"So are you from around here?" Ayumi asked.

"No" InuYasha replied huffily his hands hidden within the folds of his haori as usual staring at them on his guard yet a little curious.

"Such weird hair color!" Eri whispered behind her hand a little loudly to Ayumi.

"And I guess he's a foreigner since he has different colored eyes" Ayumi whispered back.

Kagome just wanted to melt into the carpet and she didn't even want to know HOW her friends or for he matter of fact InuYasha found each other.

'Damn this small house, well.....at least his ears are hidden' Kagome thought, a sweat drop showing on her forehead.

She felt sorry for InuYasha taking on a full blown inquiry not even knowing some of the modern-time terms.

"SO...InuYasha.....how long have you and Kagome been going out?" Yuka asked smirking and raising an eyebrow at him.

Kagome froze like a deer looking in headlights.

"Six months" he said shuffling around a bit clearly uncomfortable.

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi eyes widened as one.

"Well....guys I think that's enough for today....er....I'll see you at school" Kagome said pushing her friends down the stairs and out the door.

"Who were they?" InuYasha asked clearly annoyed and freaked out a little.

"Heh.....heh my other friends" she said while sweat dropping.

'Probably doesn't even know what he said' she thought sadly, feeling her heart pull slightly.

"Umm...Kagome?" InuYasha asked blushing a little.

"Yea?" Kagome asked back her voice a little squeaky.

"Im sorry about your bike" he said while hiding his hands again

'I almost forgot about that' "no problem" she said smiling back.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Kagome?" Ayumi asked gently prodding her shoulder as they approached the school "Are you ok?"

Kagome pulled out of her reverie and smiled at Ayumi "yea...fine".

"So...?" Yuka asked gently nudging Kagome's arm with her own elbow.

"He's fine....Just someone he loved died lately so....."

"Oh........" Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka said sadness drifting over their faces

Kagome smiled at them gently feeling that her friends were really sympathetic for him and that made her heart swell a little with pride. "He'll be fine...he's already much better...just goes into a small amount of depression every now and then....but" she sighed sadly "its just a little hard because I know that sometimes I can't help him that much" she replied and turned her eyes upon the school and quickened her pace as she heard the bell ring all over the campus.

*~*~*

"Good morning class" said a tall woman in a double-breasted business suit and golden rimmed glasses, her short black hair sweeping her shoulders in a superior way.

"Good morning Ms.Yuri" the class said altogether in an almost bored way.

"Good.....today we have finished the "Princess and the Toad", today we shall start one of my personal favorites, "The Demon and The Priestess" she said while smiling at the class. "It's a love story about a Demon who fell madly in love with a Shrine Maiden who are horribly forced apart due to a horrible bandit" she started, the whole class perked up, especially the girls who loved it when she did classical romances. "The Princess and the Toad" all the girls, including Kagome, got all A's and only about half of the boys scraped by with B's since it was all romance, no action.

"This story is nicely mixed with all of your favorites, girls, a comprehending love triangle, and boys, a nice piece of action with blood shed and chunks of flesh flying everywhere". That definitely caught the boy's attention.

"Now unfortunately these books are really old so I can't let you take them home due to school policy and also there are so few I only have enough to make a class set, now Mr.Hashi, would you please pass out the books?"

A tall boy with his black hair in a crew-cut stood up and passed a stack of books to every individual student and finally with a "clap" of book hitting wood, sat down and looked longingly out of the window.

"Now before we launch into this book, I want you to take a good look at the cover search every inch now, notice something? Yes, Ms.Yuka?"

"It's water stained?" Yuka said while smiling.

"Yes, Unfortunately, anything else? Yes Ms.Ayumi?"

"It's author-less"

"Correct! That's because this book was actually ancient scrolls found when they were doing construction to add a skyscraper, archeologists read the scrolls and found it to be a story and decided it to be published. Since its publication, it's decided that its one of the best Legends ever found and created" Ms.Yuri said looking at her own yellow covered copy of the book fondly. "Now, before we read I'll just give you a little bit of information about the setting in the book, please copy this down in your notebooks".

She turned towards the chalk board and scribbled "Time: Feudal Era, Warring States, Place: wilderness, Prime Place: a village that used to stand where Tokyo is now, Criteria: Romance/Action/Drama".

She set down the chalk turned to the class "be prepared for a quiz sometime soon".

The entire class groaned and looked at their teacher in disbelief, they hadn't even read the first page and they were going to have a quiz soon.

"Now Ms.Eri? Please read the foreword" she said while opening her own copy of the book. The students followed in suit and some rested their elbows on their desktops, and stared at the book, others just slid down in their seats, and the rest hid their faces behind the book.

"What is adventure now that we look at it? Meaning of the word says that it has to do with going on a quest, but couldn't an adventure be through ones emotions? Ups and downs, twists and turns, deadly battles without the use of a large sword or exotic weapons. Be happy of what you got, heed these words as you read my pages only to hear the story of that which will and hopefully capture your spirit and let you take a different look at your world. This is my story slightly altered because you may not believe it and to protect these creatures, just remember that this happened many a moon ago...." Eri read out loud to the class right before the bell signaling the ending of the period rung.

"I want you to think about the foreword and give me a paragraph on what she was trying to tell her audience, due tomorrow!" Ms.Yuri yelled over the sounds of rustling papers and the scraping of chairs on a tile floor.

The class walked up in front of the teacher's desk dropping their books in a box before walking out; Ms.Yuri stopped Kagome before she dropped in her book.

"I heard about your tumor Ms.Kagome, feel free to take your book home with you" she said kindly, her eyes twinkling for pity and kindness to the girl.

Kagome nodded and added the yellow paper-back copy of "The Demon and the Priestess" to her already heavy backpack.

*~*~*

"Bye guys!!!" Kagome yelled over her shoulder as she started up the stairs to the shrine.

'Sooooooo much homework, that paragraph for reading, fifteen pages for algebra, and a one hundred word essay for English'

Kagome sighed bitterly as she finished climbing her stairs and walked to the kitchen to find her mother stirring a pot of Ramen over the stove.

"Hey mom" Kagome said a little wearily.

"Hey, homework?" Mrs.Higurashi said eyeing her daughter's sad and tired composure with her heavy laden backpack.

"Don't remind me" she replied.

Mrs.Higurashi smiled again and turned back to the pot of ramen. Kagome saw a thick, slightly battered, roll of aged parchment on the kitchen table. She dropped her backpack beside her and picked up the parchment un-rolling it, it said "Higurashi Family Tree" on top, it was longer that Kagome was tall and so aged she wondered if it would turn into dust in her hands.

Mrs.Higurashi smirked and turned off the heat underneath the pot and set the spoon down next to the stove and turned to face her daughter.

"Where did you find this mom?" she asked as she looked down to find her name and Souta's under her mother's name.

"I was up in the attic and I came across a wooden trunk with a spell scroll on it....it easily came off and I brought it downstairs, care to see it?" she asked smiling gently and taking the scroll gently from her daughters hands and rolling it up.

Kagome walked into the dining room to find the trunk that looked very weathered, inside she saw many packages wrapped in rice paper. She sat next to her mother as she pulled out different items and explaining them. She first showed her a old ink painting of Cherry Blossoms and some old kitchen tools that really bored Kagome like when she listened to her Grandpa's legends, but then she pulled out an odd necklace that seemed familiar to her....though she couldn't understand where she seen it before. Mrs.Higurashi smiled at it and fingered the heavy beads that covered the necklace and the seemingly canine like teeth that appeared around it every now and then.

"Here", she placed the slightly heavy necklace into her daughters hands and smiled secretively. "Those are prayer beads.....one of you many great grandfathers possessed these long ago".

"They seem so familiar......which one had these?" she asked running her hand down the string.

Mrs.Higurashi's smile only grew more and she unrolled the scroll but a little and pointed to her first grandfather which was alive around the fourteen-hundreds. She looked at the name and blinked a couple of times.

"InuYa....sha?" she said in a whispery tone and looked at her mother uncertainly.

She only smiled and nodded her head, Kagome turned her eyes back to the paper and looked to the line that showed who his wife was and she saw her own name.

"B-but t-this isn't possible...I mean....how???" she said staring at the line that connected her name and InuYasha's.

"How can you say that? When you know that it is possible....come with me" she stood up and walked out of the dining room into the shrine courtyard. Kagome followed slightly dazed, she still held the prayer beads in her hands.

"Take a look around...tell me what you see" her mother said and she put a comforting hand on her daughters shoulder.

"The Tree and the Well House....nothing out of the ordinary" Kagome said just glancing at them.

"The well, I know, is very important to you is it not? And the tree you told me when you came back from your first visit that you met a "arrogant, rude, boy" pinned to the tree and released him"

Kagome nodded her head still confused.

"Why do you think we haven't done anything to drastic to the tree or to the well house for that matter, yes it may be old, but we didn't know that they were magical until you went through for the first time, your grandfather would tell all those tales to me and its hard to believe that they are true. Kagome...you weren't destined for this era" she turned and walked into the house leaving Kagome in the middle of the courtyard clutching the beads.

'But....how can this be true....' she walked up to the tree, staring at the spot where she found InuYasha. 'all this time....I wondered once and awhile...why I felt so right there.....I figured because I was Kikyo's reincarnation...but maybe its because I......'

Kagome stood up on the overgrown roots and placed her free palm on the blank spot which the bark had grown around; she felt a strange pulse and smiled at the warmth beneath her hand.

'I know now......'

Kagome jumped off the roots and climbed over the small fence to keep the rabbits out, she walked back into her kitchen to see her mother smiling; crying silent tears, and Kagome realized herself that she was crying. She walked up to her mother the beads wrapped around her palm now, and hugged her mother tightly

"Now you know" she said silently to her daughter and hugged her tighter.

"Will I still be able to come home?"

"Yes! Of course you can!" she laughed a small laugh and led Kagome to the dining room yet again and put the scroll inside the trunk before closing it and locking it with a key-less lock. "This is yours now....take this back".

Kagome nodded and picked the trunk up, "I'll leave in the morning"

Mrs.Higurashi was still crying and hugged her daughter again. "Its hard to believe it...but then again this family isn't what you call normal".

Kagome started laughing a little bit and dropped the trunk before returning her mothers hug. "It's not like I'll disappear forever"

"I know but im also glad you aren't mad for me not telling you"

"Would have saved me a headache or two but I glad you didn't......"

"Alright now get upstairs and look through the trunk or do your homework"

Kagome groaned "alright", she picked the trunk up again and trudged upstairs 'you would think that being an ancestor would get me off of homework....'

*~*~*

Author: ^_^ wow this is the longest chapter ive ever written!!!!

Kagome: ::blink blink::

Author: ^_^ alright well actually I was trying to put my theory into play here. I do think that Kagome could be her own ancestor, I mean look at her home, both the tree and the well are highly respected and they just HAPPEN to be key points in InuYasha's and Kagome's relationship.

Kagome: ::comes out of reverie::.....oddly true

Author: I hope you guys really liked this one...this one is my favorite so far like you can tell that I put a lot of time into this one!

Next chapter: Kagome goes through her trunk and finds some interesting artifacts, she starts reading "The Demon and The Preistess" and she goes back through the well.

Im not saying anything more than that!

^__________^

Also I think you may be confused on the flashback...earlier in that episode Kagome received a new bike from her mother to replace the one in the feudal era. She went to school and InuYasha came ((of course ^_^*)) and broke it....he tried to fix it. Kagome's Grandpa volunteered InuYasha to help him in the store room and gave him a bandana to protect his ears from glass and such. Kagome came home with her friends, on of her friends pointed out "is that abstract?" and Kagome looks at it weirdly and says "no! That's my bike!!!!!!!!". On the way home she told her friends that her "boyfriend" is visiting and they wanted to meet him so they lied and said that they left a book up their. Kagome went and found InuYasha and sat him since he ruined her new bike. She goes and makes tea for her friends and yea...trust me it's A LOT funnier than im saying it!!!
