Oh darn. I was really hoping for more reviews in the chapter of when Inuyasha is revealed. Only 6 reviews this time, so maybe my skills are fading? Well I guess I should base this chapter off of how much it is loved and whether or not I should continue. Notice that this had also become the anniversary chapter.

I also realized that my writing is faster in the school year than vacations. Strange to think of how it works, but I figured it out. During the school year, my brain is revved up and at its highest performance. This way, I can get chapters out which are decent quality in a decent timeframe. Over vacation, like my body, my brain gets lazy. I have to sit myself and force chapters out, which end up short. Instead, my art comes out and has me wanting to get things submitted to deviant art.

I am hoping to speed some things along now, and also reveal more hints at the story. I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be as short as my last updated chapter. That on Word Processor didn't even reach three pages.

Also, due to 's stricter rules and such, no more review responses. I may end up making a journal for responses to everything. If I do, then it would be at if anywhere. Actually, I should do that right away. As my usual habit brings about, a small rewind to jump into the chapter. Which I think always holds more detail than how we ended things. Enjoy and review please!

Also, a note to FoxyFireDemon, I wont be quitting this story. You have no worries on that. I just wanted to get at least a preview of the chapter out on the fanfic's anniversary. You'll have at least this story to look forward to for hopefully another year.

The three lay on the grass just outside the forest seemingly unconscious. In the distance the voice of a young girl is heard yelling as she nears towards that location. "That's it Inuyasha! I'm going home!"

The voice of a somewhat young, but roughened and annoyed man responded just as loud, but not moving. "Go ahead! I'm tired of having to protect and save you all the time! We don't need to you find the shards anymore anyways!"

"Fine!" The girl almost tripped over one of the unconscious people. This one was a boy that seemed to be very height challenged with medium length spiky black hair and this white starburst. She thought it was kind of cute with the way that the headband was also there. She went to poke him awake when she felt a hand grab her wrist with an almost burning sensation. With a shriek the sounds of people running towards the area is heard.

"Kagome!" What seemed to be a young man with silver like white hair in red clothing came running towards the girl.

Now obviously all this yelling wouldn't wake up the unconscious trio. Correction, formerly unconscious trio turned to unconscious single. As seen, the one that was poked awake, was still, well, was still awake and burning the young girls wrist. Over about 5 feet was another boy with long red hair that sat up. His emerald eyes glance over to the pair of crimson ones. "Hiei, please don't cause more trouble than required. We know not our location, much less if the time period is the same."

With a 'hn' and a glare towards the red head, the one recognized as Hiei let go of the raven haired teen. Then, promptly he glared at the unconscious raven haired girl. The one with the burnt wrist held that arm to her as the man came up taking a huge sword out of a katana sheath.

Though, there was something different about the man, for he wasn't a man. More, he was a teenage boy with cat like ears. Pulling the conscious girl known as Kagome away from the conscious duo, and one unconscious person, the boy took a defensive stance towards the height challenged and red haired young men. "You another reincarnation of Naraku?"

The emerald gave looked at the amber eyes and closed, the head shaking. "You've mistaken us for others I believe." The young man stood up and brushed his black robes off. Seeing that the long raven-haired girl was still rendered unconscious, he moved her so she was now sitting up and leaning against a tree.

"Don't want to leave again… Shut up and let me sleep…. Evil bastard…" The girl was muttering in her sleep. Apparently, she was much like Yusuke when he was asleep on the boat towards the dark tournament. Gradually she moved from on her back, to laying down more on her side. Her hair getting tangled against the bark as she descended.

The red head smiled a bit and shook his head slightly. "So very alike… It's no wonder…" Before finishing that sentence, he drifted off and started to chuckle. He went over and put an arm in front of the shorter boy who was in the process of unsheathing his own blade. "Hiei, we will not start a fight here. Not till we find out where we are, and of the situation in these lands." He turned to the still on guard cat-eared teenager and bowed halfway. "I apologize for Hiei. He doesn't take well to strangers touching him. My name is Kurama, you already gathered Hiei's name, and the unconscious one is Aurora. Do you mind putting away your weapon and telling us where we are?"

Realizing that the 3 didn't mean any harm, Kagome stepped up so she was next to the cat eared one. "Inuyasha, just put the damn thing away. They obviously aren't from this time and Kurama basically said they mean no harm…"

For some reason, Inuyasha didn't fight with the girl or try to get out of it. At least, to the new comers there was no reason for him to really comply. As he stepped back a man in purple robes with black, tied back hair, and a staff came from the same direction the other 2 did. The staff itself seemed to be about 6 feet long in gold with a large ring at the head with smaller rings around that one. "Is something the matter, Kagome, Inuyasha?" He looked at each as he referred to each one. Then, naturally, he noticed the 2 standing people that he did not recognize. "And you two would be…?" He had his staff ready at hand, just in case.

Kagome moved his staff so it was downwards. Her eyes implored him to listen to what she was about to say as her hand slowly leaned off of the staff and she stepped back a bit while talking. "Relax already, we already went through this. Their not with Naraku and could be from my time for all we know."

Kurama simply nodded and looked to his right as he heard a few English phrases that weren't exactly English so much as French. "It seems that Aurora is finally waking up."

Everyone looked towards the raven haired girl, who was in mid-yawn when she noticed them staring. "You got a problem or something?" (AN: I am getting major déjà vu from typing this all the sudden…) She started to get up, using her silver staff as leverage; the wand in her other hand. At least, the wand was in her other hand and 2 more hands. She looked up and saw the man in robes looking at her with a strange look in his eyes. "You have a problem with something?"

With a smile, which sparkled ever so slightly, came across the man. "Such a spice to go with your beauty. Would such a dazzling maiden as yourself be so bold as to bear my child-" A red jewel headed silver staff hit the man in the head hard as she walked away from the falling man. A large purple bump forming where she had hit him. It was a purple Mt. Fuji all over again, just like in Diagon Alley in chapter 4.

Brushing herself off, Aurora put the wand in her robes and leaned a bit on the staff as she walked. "Is the freak over there always like that?" She looked towards the unfamiliar people and saw them both nod. Sighing, she plopped back on the ground and laid on her back. "So who are the freaks Mister Genius?" Her eyes glanced over towards Kurama.

Before Kurama could answer, Kagome had intervened in a slightly perky voice. "Actually this is Inuyasha, the one you bashed over the head is the womanizer, Miroku, and I'm Kagome." She smiled to Aurora, but then looked to Kurama. "Hm… You seem familiar from back home. Oh, yeah! I almost forgot, your in Feudal Japan, not whatever time you're all from."

At this, the trio blanched at each other. They didn't realize how far the reaction could have sent them. In fact, they didn't completely expect the possibility of having gone back in time. Much less, for two of them, return to Japan so soon. It was as if their minds were holding all the conversations and decisions between the three. In the end, a silent nod was shared and they looked to the opposing trio. Kurama stepped forward, being the least aggressive looking and most calm in such situations. "Apparently, we have come here through many mishaps rolling together into one mess. If it wouldn't impose too much of a hassle; We three would like to request your assistance in returning us to our school."

"They pose us no harm, so I certainly don't see the harm in helping them out on such a task. After all, with such a beauty of the three, it would be only be divine intervention to lend a hand or so." The man in robes said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Just before Inuyasha went to beat the shit out of the young man, Kagome intervened once again. "You know, he does have a point Inuyasha. It wont hurt us just to get them back home." She smiled to the three and nodded. "By the way, I'm Kagome, this is Inuyasha," she directed their attention to the guy with ears, "And the one that just proposed to you is Miroku. No worries, he may not act like it, he really is a monk." She smiled a bit.

The three looked at Miroku, most disbelieving of what Kagome had said. Aurora went over and kneeled down in front of the hentai monk and leered into his disoriented gaze. Waving the jeweled end of her staff over his head, the purple miniature mountain started to go down to the point that it looked to have never been there before. She smirked at her work then poked him in the ribcage with the other end of her staff. "Oi, get up already. No, don't even try to touch my ass before your hand leaves your side. I know your just faking now, so get up, stop with the games and GET YOUR HAND OFF MY THIGH!" She slammed the side of her silver weapon at the side of his head. Getting up with a huff she went back to her companions and glared at the black hair man.

Miroku, though, seemed unfazed as if used to such treatment and got up while brushing off his robes. Kagome and Inuyasha didn't seem to feel too offended by his actions; Though that's possibly from them being used to his behavior. In fact, that's exactly what Kurama had suspected. With a solemn nod to Hiei, each of the demons moved over to the sides. Then, on an instant, Hiei seemed to have disappeared, bringing a surprised gasp from several people. That is, almost everyone that wasn't Kurama really. His hand brushed through the bright red silky locks of hair and pulled out a rose in most perfect bloom, matching his hair. "We will be right back. Just a few things we sense that must be settled for the moment." Pivoting, he turned and went straight towards the heart of the forest as a whip of green and thorns emerges from the flowery accessory.

This was when a quiet minute passed between the 3 members of the Inu-tachi and single Hogwarts student. Finally breaking the silence, Inuyasha leered at the still slightly dazed monk. "Hey monk, how long till Sango gets her ass back here so we can kick Naraku's ass?"

"3 nights, 4 days. She wants to make sure that her weapon doesn't break a third time." He leaned on his gold staff and rubbed his forehead with the free hand, which also had prayer beads wrapped around the wrist and palm. This piqued the newcomers interests and brought about a slightly arched right brow. Of course, Miroku isn't one to go about not noticing even small things. His glancing eyes caught her face as he smirked. "You wonder of this?" He held up his hand with the beads. Though,, before she could nod in saying yes, he continued. "Just prayer beads to guard a curse that holds great power as well as a terrible fate. Though, there is a way to make sure my life doesn't go without purpose. To have an heir when I go, an continue the family line, I can die somewhat fulfilled. Hoping he could do what I can not, which is break this curse."

Aurora, not knowing of how he used this story before to lead to a major bad pick-up line, she actually had this sad pitying look on her face. "That's horrible… I feel terrible that there's nothing I can do to help."

This was his opening. Once again he went up to her and took her hands in his palms. With a sincere look in his eyes saying that he was beyond serious , they softened even more as if for an added effect. "Your words are most humble. There is, in fact, something you can do. Produce me an heir, a son, and continue my families line."

She stared at him, mainly because he was starting to creep her out even more. Slowly, a small tick developed right at her left eye. In Miroku's palm, he felt a fist forming in tightening, and he knew what would happen. As he started to run off, she had a clear target for a certain punch; namely at the back of his head. "You jerk! I cant believe how damn horny a monk can be. This is ridiculous, honestly. How about this; Instead of that, you help me and my friends get back home and I don't cast a sterilization curse on you."

It took a few minutes before any of them understood what she meant, then Kagome snickered at the moment Miroku's face went to a nervous smile. From the shadows, a smirk gleamed through with a glimmer of an emerald eye. "Definitely alike, though different methods of intimidating. Wouldn't you agree Hiei?"

Nothing but a small 'hn' was heard from the direction of the smirk. Emerging from the shadows was Hiei and Kurama looking perfectly fine and weapons away. Well, almost perfectly fine. Hiei's clothes were slightly ruffled, and Kurama's hair was a bit mussed up. Before anyone asked where an why they left, Hiei spoke up as if what happened was obvious. "It was just some demon. Not even worth my time considering its pathetic level."

A soft chuckle from Kurama was heard. "Oh, I wouldn't say that much. After all, it was quite entertaining considering the way it all moved. Quite a few methods it had against us I believe."

His crimson eyes darted towards the emerald ones with intent to kill. "Fox, I don't think they need to know about what was going on. Enough playing your games."

"Would you rather they here everything flat out?"

"Hn."

"That's what I thought." He looked up to the three with a smile. "Anyway, I have a plan now that I was able to gather enough information on what had happened. Gathering together, the highly intelligent kitsune trapped in a teenage boys body divulged his plans to the others.

A room full of bright and wonderful trinkets and gadgets scatter the area. A beautiful crimson bird is perched at a cage with its feathers seeming to be bright enough to seem like they were on fire. At a large desk beneath and in front of a stair case was several professors and students. Professor Dumbledore was in his chair with his chin resting on the back of his hand of which the elbow of the same arm was against the desk. Professors Snape and Halliwell were standing next to the headmaster looking at the 7 students.

From behind the students the sound of grating stone was heard before a door opening. All look up an over to see that it was the head of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall, was the one who had entered. Her lips were tightly pressed together. "Headmaster, did they tell you what had happened yet?"

"No, not yet. We felt it was best if they only repeated the events once and while you were here as well. Considering, it was 2 of students from your house out of the 3 that had disappeared." His what seemed to be all knowing eyes twinkled slightly as they looked up to the younger, yet still elder, professor. He then looked over the students.

Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Potter, Longbottom, Weasely and Granger looked back, then to each other to see who was to tell the story first. Of course, it was Malfoy who had to tell his part before anyone else, so as not to get into trouble. "I thought it was obvious. Seeing how it was Longbottom that was working on the potion that caused the problems. First Potter punched me and when I got up, Neville jabbed me in the elbow before putting in too much of some ingredient. Then some idiot decided to splash that all over Jaganshi, Oracles and Minamino. They were idiots to use some cleaning charm and then they disappeared. Isn't that right Crabbe, Goyle?"

As the 2 brainless oafs nodded, The other four held Harry back from trying to punch out Malfoy again. Clearing his throat, he brought the group of students to a silence. "I think we should here the other houses side of the story before any actual conclusions are made. Miss Granger, I believe you were in a place that wasn't in the midst of the incident but still had a full accounting of this?"

Hermione nodded and stepped forward a bit. "Yes Professor Dumbledore. Well we were making our potions in the dungeon when Professor's Snape and Halliwell stepped out. That's when Malfoy came to our table and pushed Harry's elbow, ruining the holliedizzie's."

This was when an outbreak of protest came from a certain blonde and his goons. With a look from the headmaster and professors, his whining died down. Which allowed Hermione to continue the 'story.' "While we tried to stop Harry from retaliating, he still punched Malfoy in the gut to the ground. When he got up, he bumped into Neville's elbow, getting his nerves up. Well, you know how when tensions are higher, they can be the cause for a potion to be ruined."

Neville turned a slight shade of red in embarrassment and started to constantly mutter how he was sorry and didn't mean to mess things up. Ron and Harry quietly responded to his apologies by assuring him that it wasn't his fault completely. Though, they were half expecting Draco to say some rude comment. He would have too, if there weren't any authority figures present to catch him. So instead, a sneer towards the Gryffindor's had to do.

Finally, after a few more things died down, Hermione was given the nod to continue. "Well with Neville's nerves shaken, so was his hands. This brought him to put in too much of the holliedizzie's in the concoction. Of course the potion reacted just as it would have when a mistake was made and he backed up an went to my side of the table I was at. That was when we heard the professors returning and everyone rushed to their tables. That's when Malfoy-"

"Hey now! Don't pin this all on me Granger. It's not all my fault!" Draco almost yelled, now glaring daggers at the witch. Though this in turn brought glares to him in order to shut him up. It worked too, for right when Malfoy saw that he ha no chance of escaping trouble if he kept up the whole attitude.

The brunette witch cleared her throat lightly and was able to sneak past the teachers a most evil glare to Malfoy. "As I was saying, that's when Malfoy bumped into a table on his way back to his own station. That table though was the same one that had the flawed potion on it. Of course the preceding events led the potion to splash out of the cauldron, and the contents to splash over Minamino, Jaganshi and Oracles. Being new, they possibly didn't know that they should never attempt a cleaning spell in such a situation…"

She trailed off the subject as the others knew what happened last. At that moment, just as Dumbledore was about to speak, a loud crash was heard. It sounded strong enough for stone to break. In fact, that's exactly what it sounded like; stone breaking. In less than a minute, a certain raven haired teen with slicked back hair came in looking pissed. Soon, Hagrid came in after, speaking before Yusuke could. "Sorry professor, I held 'im off fer 's long as I could."

"Shut up! I want to know where my friends are this instant before a blow my spirit gun on this whole place!" He yelled, looking at Dumbledore the whole time. Apparently he would've been up there earlier, but a few select teachers were working on holding him off at bay.

While it wasn't too much of a smile, it seemed that Dumbledore did have one. His eyes glimmered at Yusuke when he was yelling. After the thread, the headmaster stood up, starting his talk. "Give us the pleasure of a few moments, Mister Urameshi, and you will know as much as anyone else does on this."

"And what about getting them back, huh?" The teen had his fist tightened extremely. It was plain to see that he was trying very hard not to harm anyone. So, he was basically trying to contain everything; his worry, anger and growing hostility.

The weary headmaster nodded and put up a hand for Yusuke to just calm down and listen for a few minutes. "We are working on that as we speak. Namely the other two sisters of the trio I believe are working on it. Now on what happened…."

A hooded figure kneels before a shadowed one. The shadow-cast one doesn't seem to be human by the outline of its body. In a hushed tone of fear and respect, or obedience, the hooded figure speaks in their gruff voice. "The plans were falling in place just as you had predicted my lord. At least, till one of the blood sacrifices disappeared.

At first, hisses and sounds of a snake attempting to speak was heard. A large cobra slithers out from the shadow's direction and lifts itself up so its head was level with the hooded man. As he looked up, a pleading whimper came from his throat. The brown cobra's hood opens along with a loud hiss from both the reptile and the shadow.

A scream is heard through the dead of the night on top of the Riddle Residence. Though no reports were made, everyone knew that there was another loss on top of that hill. They wouldn't report this one, just like they ignored the rest. This was because the neighbors were afraid of what could happen to them now. It was funny, at first they couldn't care about that place and always desolated it. Now, they feared the returning owner with the rumors of them being high into the black arts.

The Inu-tachi stood across the three black robed students. Hiei was across from Inuyasha, Kurama across from Kagome, and Aurora across from Miroku. Each had a weapon out and touching in a sense. Both Hiei and Inuyasha unsheathed their swords and held them up so the ends touched one another. Kurama had made a quiver from some plant as the priestess reincarnation held out her own arrow, the heads touching each other as they were held out. Lastly was the 2 staves meeting each other at the head.

Nodding to the companions on each side of him, Kurama used his free hand to take out his wand as the other 2 did the same. Emerald eyes met the monks. "You are ready with the ofuda?"

Miroku nodded and took out a slip of paper which had inscriptions on it in some language. "I think it would be best, based on what you said, if Inuyasha activates part of the wind scar and Kagome used her purification abilities. It should keep a balance between the 2 forces we're creating."

A silent agreement was made between the six. As the black robed three said their incantation, Kagome charged her arrow to turn it into a purification arrow. Inuyasha started to bring out the wind scar as a wind seemed to have come out from beneath him. Miroku used his free hand to bring the ofuda about, chanting at the same time.

When the three wands finished the spell and directed it across at the opposing person, a flash of pink was seen. Though knocked back, Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten up, the girl in the hanyou's arms when he sensed the danger.

Being able to look around, Kagome noticed something. "Where's Miroku?"

The Charmed ones were around a circle with a star around it; the pentagram. Using the power of three, which invoked the amazing power held when the three sisters worked together, they said a chant which barely rhymed in unison.

At first, a small opaque portal started to form. Once they were able to see the three students, they threw a potion at the portal.

Things didn't go as planned though for the spell. Instead of what should have happened, which was the opaque portal ripping and pulling the three out, there was a pink flash that blinded the sister witches.

Disoriented at first, Paige was the first to regain her sight and other senses. "Hey, at least it worked." She stood over four people. The three students, Hiei, Kurama and Aurora, and an unknown man in purple robes holding an interesting gold staff. "Just an extra person."

I hope you like the preview before getting this full version of the chapter. It may be a bit more than you expected, but I try to keep the chapters in this a bit long. I was also hoping that the plot was showed more to everyone. I have many surprises in store for this story, which I hope doesn't take another year to get finished.

So, this anniversary chapter, is more of a belated finished anniversary chapter… Sorry. If you still want to review and predict the rest of the chapter, use unsigned reviews seeing how they only allow one signed review per chapter. Matte ja ne minna san.
