Me: Hello again! Sorry it's taken me so long to get new chapters up for all of my fics. I am planning on updating ALL of them this weekend. And thank you, reviewers! By the way, remember that I am going to use Kagome's mom's real name, Higurashi Megumi, instead of Suzuran

Chapter Three: Blast from the Past

Higurashi Megumi smiled at her daughter as Kagome caught up with her cousin and his friend. Souta and Shippo were just staring out of the windows of the car, looking for any changes that had happened while they were living in America.

"So Shu-kun, I heard that you are famous now. Is that true?" Kagome asked as Shindou Shuichi jabbered on about his life. Shuichi stopped telling her about almost failing high school, and grinned.

"Yep. Me and Hiro-kun are musicians now. We are in the band 'Bad Luck', along with our other friend, who you will meet later, Suguru Fujisaki. You will also meet our managers K-san and Sakano-san, plus a few others. By the way Kag-chan, why did you decide to come back to Japan?" Shuichi said rapidly. A semi-sad look came over Kagome's face.

"The main reason was that my grandfather died. But we were having money problems in America, and Okka-san had lost her job. Plus I would get to see you and some other friends that I haven't seen in a long time." Kagome explained, and Shippo, who was eavesdropping, immediately knew what 'other friends' Kagome was talking about. Poor Kagome-chan. She misses the ones she left behind in the Sengoku Jidai. But maybe she can unseal the well and we can see everyone again. Except for Inuyasha that is. Inuyasha was a baka to go with Kikyo. Shippo's ears perked up when he heard Kagome say his name. He turned his head to look at her, and yelped when he saw Shuichi's face so close to his own.

"Kaa-san!" He squeaked and jumped into Kagome's arms.

"It's okay Shippo. Shuichi just wanted to meet you. I think. What were you doing anyway Shuichi?" Kagome asked as she sat Shippo back down next to Souta and Megumi.

"How come he doesn't look like you guys? And I don't remember having a third cousin." Shuichi said as he stared at Shippo.

"We adopted him." Kagome answered simply. Shuichi stared at Kagome and then at Shippo before smiling and nodding. Two minutes later Hiro pulled up in front of a large building in the center of Tokyo. Kagome's jaw dropped as she looked up at the building before her.

"It's huge!" She mumbled as she grabbed her luggage and stepped out of the car.

"Welcome to Ng-Records Kagome-san." Hiro said and smiled at her before grabbing the rest of her luggage and carrying it into the lobby of the building. Kagome just nodded dumbly and followed him inside, leaving Shuichi to grab the rest of the Higurashi family's bags.

As soon as Shippo was close enough to Kagome, he jumped into her arms.

"Kaa-san, it's too big." Kagome smiled at Shippo, who blinked up at her.

"Don't worry Shippo-chan. I'll make sure you don't get lost. That is if I don't get lost." She said and laughed lightly. Suddenly a gunshot rang throughout the air. Kagome yelped and held onto Shippo tighter. She started to reach for the bow that was always on her back, but remembered that it was packed in one of her bags and her extra one was at her grandfather's shrine. But Shuichi and Hiro just shook their heads as a man with blonde hair walked into the lobby, holding a still-smoking gun in his left hand.

"Shindou Shuichi and Nakano Hiroshi! Where have you been!? You were supposed to be here three hours ago!" The blonde man yelled at the two males.

"Gomen K-san. We had to pick Shuichi's cousins up from the airport." Hiro said politely. K looked at him and then at Shuichi before looking upon the Higurashi's.

"Ah! Hello Megumi-san! It has been a long time. And Kagome-chan! You have grown so much since I last saw you." Shuichi and Hiro's eyes bugged out as they stared at Kagome and Megumi.

"You already know him?" Shuichi asked Kagome, who nodded.

"Hai. Tohma-kun introduced him to me when I was around four or five. He also introduced Ryuichi-chan and Noriko-chan to me." She stated with a smile. Shippo and Souta just looked between the adults, thoroughly confused.

"That makes four less people we have to introduce you to." Hiro said.

"Who else is there?" Shippo asked as he stared up at Hiro.
"Two of them are coming right now." He said and looked beyond K's head.

"Kagome-chan, Shippo-kun, Souta-kun, Higurashi-san, meet Suguru Fujisaki, 'Bad Luck's keyboardist, and Sakano-san, the second of 'Bad Luck's Managers. The first is K-san by the way." Shuichi said as he pointed to each person in turn.

"Suguru-san, Sakano-san, meet my cousins Kagome, Souta, Shippo, and their mother, Higurashi Megumi." Shuichi finished as he introduced everyone. Suguru and Sakano nodded at the Higurashi's before turning to Shuichi and Hiro.

"Because we are behind schedule, you will need to stay late tonight. We have to see how the remix of 'Spicy Marmalade' will sound." Sakano informed them as he pushed his glasses up on his nose. Shuichi groaned and Hiro looked at him.

"But if I get home late, Yuki will get mad at me!" Shuichi whined. Kagome's eyebrow rose when he mentioned the name 'Yuki'. Hiro rolled his eyes and hit Shuichi on the head.

"You will only be a few hours late. Besides, I thought he kicked you out of his house earlier for making too much racket?" Hiro said, jumping at the chance to embarrass his best friend. Shuichi glared at him.

"Shuichi, who is Yuki?" Kagome asked innocently, even though she had a pretty good idea of who he was already. Heh. The training with Sesshoumaru actually paid off. I can catch a glimpse of what Shuichi is thinking. I'll have to practice more if I actually want to read his mind. Kagome thought with a smirk as an image of a handsome blonde man popped into Shuichi's head.

"Er, his name is Eiri Yuki, and he's a novelist." Shuichi said quickly. Hiro was about to make him say more but one look from Kagome made him change his mind.

"Can we please stop this babbling and get back to work?" K asked as he clicked the safety off of his gun. Shuichi, Hiro, and Suguru gulped and ran down the hall into a studio at the end. Kagome, Shippo, Souta, and K followed at a more leisurely pace, while Sakano had taken Megumi to see Tohma and Mika, who were upstairs. Kagome gaped slightly as she looked around the medium sized studio. There were posters of Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper all over the walls, as well as many instruments and tons of food.

"Is this your own studio?" Souta asked Shuichi. Shuichi nodded with a grin.

"Yep. Tohma gave it to us when K-san started as our manager. This is where we create and record our songs." He said and sat down on a couch in the center of the room. Kagome sat a bag down by the door before sitting next to him, Shippo jumping into her lap as she did so. Souta sat in a chair next to the door (and next to Kagome's bag), while Hiro, Suguru, K sat on a different couch.

"Now, for the remix we will need to have more music and less words. Understood?" K asked and everyone nodded. Hiro went to his guitar, Shuichi to the mike, and Suguru to his keyboards in the corner. After they had gotten halfway through the song, Kagome stopped listening. Sure, she liked her cousin's music, but something else was on her mind. She had felt a strong demon energy inside the building, a few floors up. That's why she had brought her bow and arrows with her into the studio (they were in the bag). She frowned and tried to search out the ki of the demon. It seemed oddly familiar to her, but she couldn't place it in her mind. She was brought out of her concentration when she heard Souta ask her something. She noticed that Bad Luck had stopped playing and were gathered around Souta.

"Nii-san, why do you have your bow with you?" Souta asked as he held the large bone bow up in the air. Kagome's eyes widened and quickly grabbed the bow from Souta.

"Um, I didn't know it was in there. I thought that was the bag with some old pictures of me and Shuichi in it. I must've grabbed the wrong bag." She said and put on a fake smile.

"Why do you carry a bow anyway Kag-chan?" Shuichi asked as he warily looked at the bow in her hands.

"Uh, I, er like archery. Yeah." She lied quickly, hoping beyond hope that they would believe her. Shuichi seemed to accept her answer, and sat back down on the couch next to Shippo. Kagome put her bow away and was about to sit down, when they energy she was feeling earlier spiked and started to come closer to her. Looks like he finally felt my energy. She thought worriedly and threw open the door, running out into the empty hallway. Shippo, sensing his mothers' distress, grabbed her bow and quiver and quietly followed close behind her. Everyone else ran out after the two, thoroughly confused. Kagome nearly fainted when she saw who was standing in the hall.

"S-Sesshoumaru!?" She squeaked. The tall, silver-haired man smirked and stared at her coldly.

"That's Sesshoumaru-sama to you Kagome-san." Shippo, who was behind Kagome, looked over her shoulder, his eyes bulging.

"B-but you're supposed to be in the Sengoku Jidai. What are you doing here?" He asked and Sesshoumaru turned his cold gaze to Shippo.

"What's it to you kit?"
"Sess-kun, stop it. Now, why are you here." Sesshoumaru's eyebrow twitched.

"I thought you were smarter than a human, dear miko" He said in a cold voice. Kagome was about to whap him on the head, but Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist.

"Don't go insulting my race. Rin is a human, remember Fluffy-chan?" Kagome teased. Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at the nickname Kagome and Rin had given him.

"Do not call me that." He growled. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." She muttered and turned to her other friends.

"Kagome, how do you know Sesshoumaru-senpai? He just started working here two months ago, and is the vice-president of Ng-Records." Shuichi mumbled. Kagome grinned.

"Let's just say that me and Sess go back a long way." She said and walked past them, back into the studio. Suddenly she stopped mid-step when she heard a cold voice go through her head. Lord Sesshoumaru isn't the only one who has come to the future, my dear miko. A splatter of blood flashed in her mind, and then Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and their children's dead bodies on the floor; a man in a baboon suit standing behind them, holding a sword and laughing. Kagome's face paled and she started to choke. She kneeled on the floor, Shuichi, Shippo, and Souta kneeling beside her.

"Kagome? Daijoubou?" Shuichi asked nervously as Kagome's nose started to bleed. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at Kagome's back. He had seen what she had seen. So, he is back. He thought before handing Kagome a tissue box before leaving.

"Kagome, what happened?" Souta asked his sister. Kagome shook her head.

"Don't worry. It was nothing." She mumbled and tried to smile, but failed miserably. Shuichi and Hiro helped her up and led her back into the studio.

"Are you sure you're okay Kagome-san?" Hiro asked.

"Yeah. If you're not feeling well, tell Hiro. He was training to be a doctor before he became a famous rock star." Shuichi said as he handed Kagome a glass of water. Kagome took a drink before thanking him.

"No, no. It really was nothing. It's just drier here than in America." She lied. Shuichi believed her, but Hiro and Shippo didn't. I can tell she's lying. I wonder what's up... Hiro thought and shrugged to himself. It wasn't his business.

************************************************************************

Wow. I didn't think I would introduce Sessy till later chapters. And I'm pretty sure everyone knows who the baboon guy is. And don't worry; Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and their children are NOT dead. It was a kind of...premonition of what would happen. And don't ask me how Kagome's nose started to bleed. I had something in mind when that happened, but then I forgot what it was. *sweatdrop* Ja ne and please review!
