(Yo Minty, dis is for you.)

Chapter 7- Time Goes So Fast...
3 years later...

Mai held her dearest Anzu in her arms, Anzu had tripped and she was crying now, so Mai was soothing her daughter, "Anzu, it's okay; Mother is here now, okay?"

Anzu nodded, "Okay, Mama!" Anzu's hair was curly and brown like her dog ears, except she had a few light blonde natural streaks in her hair. Her skin was a pale-ish color and her eyes were bright blue. Her smile made anyone else, and everyone else smile with her; she was already 3 years old and Mai had already begun teaching her miko powers and InuYasha teaching her demon powers. She grinned at her mother and hugged her again.

"Anzu, try again, concentrate, pull the light from your heart, now aim the arrow carefully, and shoot!" Mai instructed Anzu, she was teaching her the Purifying Arrow technique.

"Alright Mai! You've had enough to play with my granddaughter, hand her over, she needs to learn poison claw!" InuYasha grinned and winked at Anzu. Anzu thoroughly loved her demon powers, she like being a miko but being a demon she thought was much more entertaining.

"Mother is we done?" Anzu asked her mother, putting on one of those childish pleading smiles.

"Oh, fine!" Mai hugged Anzu and shoved her in the direction of InuYasha.

Anzu skipped toward her grandfather happily taking his hand.

Anzu got into position, her little hand glowing she jumped and screamed POISON CLAW! Then she slashed through s dummy and it was spewing green smoke and it was in pieces. InuYasha grinned, "Anzu, very good! I knew that girly miko stuff was lame for you! Let's go see your great uncle and aunt okay?"

Anzu nodded eagerly, she had only met Sesshomaru and Rin once in her short life.

In the Feudal Era...

"Is that whom I think it is Rin?" Sesshomaru asked Rin.

"Uhuh! It's Anzu and InuYasha!" Rin said happily, "It's too bad Kenji and Kari are out exterminating demons..."

"Rin, Sesshy?" Anzu whispered walking slowly toward them.

"Come here Anzu, I'm not going to hurt you, promise!" Rin said grinning.

"Rin!" Anzu yelled happily. She didn't have any other names for them; they were just Rin and Sesshy.

"Little brother, why are you here, and with Anzu no less." Sesshomaru said as he walked over to InuYasha, then he punched InuYasha hard, but InuYasha jumped into the nearest tree laughing hard!

"Just like always eh brother?" InuYasha said playfully as he jumped down.

"I haven't had a good fight in a long time, bro, humor me..." Sesshomaru said attacking InuYasha again. InuYasha took out his Tetsaiga and swiped at Sesshomaru.

Anzu stepped in the middle of them before InuYasha hit Sesshomaru, without intent InuYasha hit her, but did he really?

"Grandfather, Sesshy stop, please." Anzu was glowing pink, and her hair was sticking up along with her ears, she was bearing her teeth and she still looked adorable!

"Some granddaughter InuYasha..." Sesshomaru said guiltily.

"Feh! I brought her down her so she could fight with you. You're faster then me." InuYasha looked toward Anzu.

"Huh? Grandfather, I'm going to stay here?" Anzu looked sadly at InuYasha. Her face was adorable and irresistible, but InuYasha pulled his eyes away and said, "Yes. For now darling Anzu, only for now."

Anzu began to cry and Sesshomaru walked toward her and showed her kindness, he held out his hand and said, "Anzu, you will become stronger, I'll teach you speed and more demon moves, I know more then my idiot brother here, I'll even get that stupid sword smith to make you a sword, whaddya say?"

Anzu wiped some tears from her eyes and said, "A sword, Father wouldn't like that, but you'll allow it Grandpa?"

InuYasha nodded, hugged Anzu and jumped through the well, he wondered how he was gonna explain this to everyone else.
"YOU LEFT ANZU WHERE!!!!!!" Mai shouted!

Kagome looked curiously at her husband, 'What had he been thinking?'

"InuYasha," Kagome said calmly, "Will you tell us why Anzu is Feudal Japan?"

"Well, she needed demon training, so I left her with my brother."

"What about her miko training InuYasha?" Tominari asked, he was being unusually calm.

"Yes, tell me why my baby is in the Feudal Era learning demon moves and not here being a miko!" Mai said furiously.

"She needs to be there, we are going back, to live there. People are getting curious about how we are all still living, so we need to go back." InuYasha had just laid everything out on the table, "I thought it might be easier for her if she started living there when she was small, before she got any human friends."

Kagome went to stand near her husband, "He's right, Miroku and Sango are packed and they are moving back tomorrow. They sold their house, we've sold ours, I'm packing things, your house is being sold too, so gather your things, by next week, we'll be living in the Feudal Era again..."

Everyone was silent and then slowly they dispersed into their own houses, silently thinking.
(Ooo... a cliffie! At least it should be one!)
