All right I'm gonna be going into a different tone as the story continues. So just bear with me as the thoughtful Yumi and Akira take the story to a basic beginning.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the first few lines in the story. Enjoy the future of Inuyasha nonetheless though.

"Ki...Kikyo. How could... I thought."

"Alive...oh to be alive once more, already my strength returns. You have it...don't you? Give it to me."
"What are you doing, let go!"

"I can smell it...the blood of the women who killed me and it's coming closer."

"Hello Kikyo. Playing with bugs now are we?"

Bright light engulfed me as I felt an arrow hit my chest and wetness on my cheek. I was powerless. I couldn't stop the creature. It would kill me. I forbade myself from screaming in pain. It was a sign of weakness. I couldn't show I was weak. I couldn't. The light became stronger as if it threatens to swallow me. I shielded my eyes and tried to stand. But something prevented me. Something soft and warm covered me. I opened my eyes. I was in my bed, at home in my room. But the dream. No the nightmare had been so real. It plagued me nightly. I couldn't remember a time when I hadn't had that nightmare. I could feel the pain in my chest. I knew somehow it was real.

"Where's Yumi, I thought she would be awake by now?" I cold hear Akira's voice from downstairs drift up to my room. I had sleep in. I would be late for school. I quickly gathered my bath kimono and walked to the bathroom. I had to get a shower and wake my brothers. I was so foolish to let a nightmare keep me from my duties.

Jumping in the shower I could hear Akira's footsteps on the stairs as he walked up to my room. I lathered my hair up as I listened to his lightly heavy breathing from scaling the stairs. He was in my room and I could hear him turn and head towards the bathroom as I washed soap over my body. My hearing had been excellent for as long as I could remember and it had helped me become one of the most skilled Kendo artists in my school. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it over my body, just as the door opened.

"Damn, you shower too fast. You know that?" Akira pouted as I pulled my bath kimono over my half naked body, only covered by a towel. He was a pervert if I ever meet one.

"It is too bad for you. I'm running late. Wake Kane and Ryota will you?"

"Anything for my angel." Akira tried to pull one of his dumb lines. We had been best friends since we were small. I was one of the few who seemed to be able to take his relentless hentai.

I walked back to my room and woke the small form that lay hidden under my blankets. It didn't move an inch and just simply snored as if nothing had happened. I picked up the boy from my futon and carried him into the hall. Akira stood with two sleepy eyed boys I knew as Kane, and Ryota. Kiyoshi had not been the only one born when mother had her second and last pregnancy. She had had triplets. The oldest was Kane and then Ryota. That left Kiyoshi to be the youngest.

I watched over all three of them as if they might as well have been my own. I didn't know why I had always felt the need to protect these weaklings, but the need had been there since day one. I hated the feeling, because deep down I knew it was an awful weakness to have such an attachment to something so weak.

I dropped the sleeping Kiyoshi into the shower and turned the water on. I left a sputtering Kiyoshi to shower out the smells of the day before. Then I moved to the stairs to go downstairs. I didn't go down though, seeing Ryota falling asleep on wall next to him.

"Come Ryota, I have no time for this."

"Shut up, will you? I don't feel like going to school. I'm going back to bed, see you." I grabbed the collar of his uniform and dragged him recklessly down the stairs with me. I would watch him enter the school. I would not hear of his skipping again.

"Morning my sweethearts. How are you all?" Mother stood in the kitchen putting a plate of pancakes that was two feet high on the table. Kane dug in forgetting the guests that sat at the table as well. Ryota sat next to Ume and said,

"You use my book again didn't you?" He sat there looking at the swirl flowers that now decorated the inside of the textbook.

"Yes, so what. The flowers look so pretty. I was a nice touch against those awful skulls you had." Ume was like one of those little five year olds who never stopped smiling. She was twelve and had lived with us since the triplets were two. Mother had just brought her home and told us she would be living with us.

"Hey, am I early? Aren't all the kiddies gone by now?" A young slim man and his girlfriend walked though the door followed by Akira's mother and father.

"No, and you brought Hoshiko. How nice! Please come and eat there's plenty," mother said as she placed another plate of pancakes on the huge dinning room table.

I didn't feel like eating, so I left the crowed room and walked down the main hallway. I passed Kiyoshi as I walked out the front door and headed to the well shrine.

The well shrine was closed up when I was still a baby. I had dug a hole in the back and Akira and I would sneak in and hang out when we were little. I hadn't gone in the shrine for a few years, but something about today drew me to it. The pain of weakness hit me as I looked at the well. I had come here out of my will.

"It's been sometime since we last came here, no?" Akira had followed me. I hadn't heard him and it angered me that I hadn't.

Suddenly Akira ran up and grabbed me.

"What the hell are you doing?" Akira just pointed to the well as we both stared. A light was coming out of it. And hands, white hands. The hands grabbed me and Akira latched onto my legs. It was too late though. I could feel Akira lose grip of the floor and fall with the white hands down the well.
