Wow! Another chapter! Aren't we all so exited? Yes we are! Anyways I will get on with it so my fans wont get angry ::Grins:: wait... I HAVE NO FANS!! Oh well please review!

Inuyasha looked down at his arms, were Kagome once was, and now she was gone and had no idea were she was! That stupid bastard of a 'sage' had made Inuyasha regret that and now his beloved was gone, hurt or dead, he didn't know...

Miroku placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder to reassure him that it will be ok and she will come back, even though he had doubts. They all seemed to be wondering what Kagome was trying to tell them before her abrupt departure.

Inuyasha sighed once again, he picked himself up and began to walk back to the village, and if Sango and Miroku followed, were up to them he didn't care anymore. Sango looked at Miroku who looked at her, then they followed Inuyasha with out a word, not one of them was in the mood to talk or be spoken to.

Kagome opened her eyes after a long, what seemed to be slumber; she had no idea what was going on before it came rushing back to her like a bad nightmare. She was sent back in time and knew it; she had studied this wizardry with Kaede w while ago, now she had to figure out what time period she was and how to get back...

A little whiles away...

A group of three older boys surrounded a small hanyou, holding his ball in front of his face in a mocking manner; the first boy that faced Inuyasha was tall and seemed to be at least 10 or 11. The second looked just as old but a little smaller in size, and the third one looked like he was 9 or 8, but unlike the two other he looked scared and timid.

"What scum!" yelled the second boy, kicking the small Inuyasha to the ground. The first one laughed at his friend's actions, but the third one whimpered. Inuyasha didn't give them the satisfaction of crying out in pain, instead he stood up and looked the older on in the eyes.

"Please give me my ball back," he said politely, reaching for the ball in the bully's hands. "But its such a nice ball, I think me and my friends will enjoy this ball" said the first one, holding out of reach of the small hanyou. Inuyasha looked devastated, but tried again.

"Please, I don't have any thing else to play with, I'm sure you have your own, may I please have it back?" They group began to laugh, disclosing the youngest one. "Who do you possibly have to play with?" the second one taunted. Inuyasha took to comment pretty personally, of course they all had to pick on the fact he was a hanyou.

"I don't have any one to play with, but that's not the point!" Inuyasha sighed. The group seemed to become bored of Inuyasha and glared a killer look to the frightened boy. "Fine, if you want it go get it" the biggest one laughed, kicking the ball into the forest. Inuyasha looked at them with a pathetic look of anger.

"That wasn't nice," he stated, they retreating boys looked back to see Inuyasha, they laughed and continued walking. With another sigh Inuyasha raced to get his toy before it got to far.

Kagome made her way to a stream that she didn't recognize at all, she sighed but decided that it was a nice view and decided to look at the waters before finding something that looked familiar. The stream was moving slowly, and was clear as glass.

Kagome knelt down to scoop up some of the cold water, it was so fresh, and the forest that surrounded the area was lush and green, with occasional wild colors from the flowers, she was about to stand when she finished her break when a ball came rolling from the shrubs and stopped at her feet.

She picked it up and stood. She looked around for a possible owner but she could see nothing. She turned back to the waters. 'I wonder who this belongs to' she thought with a positive attitude 'does this mean there's a village around?' her thought stopped when she heard rustling behind her.

Inuyasha peeked out of the bushes to see a teen-aged girl holding his ball. He sighed, possibly another villager he had to plead with to get his ball back, he walked out of the bushes and seen her whip around with a shocked face. Once he could get a full glance at her he could clearly see her clothes were very odd, no near village had those clothing.

Kagome was absolutely shocked to see her 'secret' lover walk out behind her. He was so small he looked like he was 5 or six years of age. Now she knew what time she was in, in fact his appearance couldn't be better, he could help her figure out were she was, and maybe find clues on how to get back.

She was brought from her hopeful thinking when his soft voice reached her ears. "Could I please have my ball back?" he asked timidly. Kagome could see he looked pretty dirty and beaten, but nothing serious.

"Hello?" he asked after a while. Kagome snapped out of her thought again and smiled at him, he was not expecting that. "Of course you can," she said holding out his ball for him to take it. Now he was shocked, and wondered what she was planning, he may be young but he wasn't as naïve as he should be, he knew a lot more than he should of at that age, but what do you expect from constant attacks?

"Put it down and roll is to me," he said giving her a questioning gaze. To say Kagome was surprised was a under statement, she felt so much towards him. He was so young yet he was still suspicious like he was when he was older, and he was surprisingly wise.

"Don't worry I wont hurt you, I think its wrong for someone like you to be beaten especially for something that's not your fault." She walked closer to him still holding the ball for him to take. Inuyasha smelt the air but couldn't smell a lie, so he walked forward and reached for the ball.

Kagome smiled again seeing his big play full grin after he retrieved it. She looked at him and his big golden-amber eyes, which looked so innocent and playful. Inuyasha could feel her stare and turned to her. "My name is Inuyasha, what's yours?" he asked turning to her.

"My name is Kagome" she responded kneeling to his eye level. "Want to play with me?" he asked excitedly Kagome smile grew and she nodded her head, she had to admit he was sure cute. After a few minutes Inuyasha kicked the ball a little harder than intended and sent Kagome to the hard ground.

He raced to her and stretched out his hand "I'm so sorry I never meant to please don't be mad, oh I'm so sorry! I really, really am!" he spoke quickly. Kagome smiled again, which reassured Inuyasha a lot "its ok Inuyasha I'm fi-""He's attacking her get him!" yelled a gruff mans voice, before Kagome could react she was being held back by two large males, while a group surrounded Inuyasha, she couldn't see him, but she could hear his cries of pain.

After a few minutes of struggling Kagome freed herself from the men's grip. She pushed through mob and embraces the little warrior protectively, much like he did when she faded into this time. "Stop it all of you! Can't you see he's just a child?!" Kagome screeched, Inuyasha was unconscious and bleeding badly from his head. "But Lady he attacked you" a woman shouted. "We were playing he didn't attack me!" Kagome yelled, getting Angier at the villager's stupidity

When all other augments ended, the group went back to the village leaving Kagome with the injured child and the words of the villagers. One woman who seemed to stay out of the beating stayed behind and came out when the rest of the mob was gone.

"You are a brave one" she said walking closer to Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome held Inuyasha tightly and glared at her. She smiled and said, "don't worry, I to believe what they are doing is stupid, he is really a nice boy" she looked down at him. She stopped smiling seeing his wounds and torn clothing.

"His mother doesn't live to far from here, I can show you were he lives, but first we need to get him cleaned up" Kagome nodded and looked at her, she actually looked fairly young. "I'm Kagome" Kagome stated, walking over to the stream she admired earlier.

"My name is Kohana," she told Kagome, and together they talking, till Inuyasha was treated. Kohana lead Kagome around the forest to a lone hut, "he lives there, please be careful the woman there isn't to appreciative for people touching her son" "thank you I hope to see you again" and with that Kagome was off to the hut.

I hope you liked it, wow I'm bushed but I think I will try and get another chapter in, please review!!
