YAY! I got more reviews than I expected! Anyway, sorry the last chapter
was so short. I guess it was more like a prologue than a chapter. I'll
try to make them a little longer from now on. (Glares at Rachel) By the
way, in this fic, I'm using Tsuki as Inuyasha's mother's name.
Review responses:
Lost Darkness: Yeah, you're allowed to be nice to me in your reviews. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't! Actually, I wouldn't care 'cuz I'd know it wasn't for real.
Koinu-Chan: AAAH! Keep the little sister away! I promise I'll try to update every Saturday! Love and Peace to you too!! XD
El: So happy! Lots of reviews! YAY! Thanks for the compliment. Keep reading and reviewing!
Oracle of the Stars: Wow! You're the nicest reviewer so far! Thanks for the compliments! I love angsty stuff... Keep reading and reviewing!
elven dragonlord: Too short, huh? Well look who's talking. Every single one of your chapters are at LEAST as short as that one. And as to Inuyasha beating up the other kids, give him a break! He's only five!
KawaiiChica: Yayies! Thanks for the review! Actually, my view on this time thing is that all the stuff that Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo do already happened. Kinda like what Kagome does in the Feudal Era doesn't really affect anything in her time (except her grades XD) because it already happened. Catch my drift?
Rekouri Sentusu: No, actually not chibi Inuyasha. But I can understand why you thought that! ^-^ Thankies so much for the review!! Keep on reading and reviewing!

...What surprised Kagome was the boy they were taunting.
"Miroku?" she asked. "Who does that look like to you?"
"It looks like... Inuyasha."
~
"That's what I thought."
"But how can that be Inuyasha?" Sango asked. "It's a little kid. Last time I checked, Inuyasha was NOT a little kid."
Both girls turned expectant eyes to Miroku.
"What?!"
"You were saying something about Time Demons? Might that possibly have anything to do with this?"
"That's what I'm thinking. When Kagome hit the star with her arrow, the demon created a time warp of some kind. There are two possibilities: One, Inuyasha was affected and transformed into a child or, two, we were sent back in time to when Inuyasha was a child. My guess is the latter of the two."
Just then, one of the older boys decided to liven things up a little and punched Inuyasha in the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground. His companions soon joined him, delivering kicks and punches and hateful words like "creep" and "freak" to the hanyou. Kagome couldn't stand sitting there and doing nothing. She jumped out of the bushes.
"Stop! Don't do that!" she yelled. None of the boys reacted. "Stop that! Are you listening?"
She was right next to them now and they hadn't even acknowledged her presence. They simply continued kicking the poor hanyou. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara walked up next to Kagome.
"What's wrong? Can't they even hear me?"
"It doesn't look like it," Miroku replied. "It doesn't even seem like they can see us."
"But we've got to make them stop somehow!"
Kagome reached for a boy's shoulder and to her surprise, she was able to touch him. In her surprise, she accidentally shoved the boy to the ground. He landed flat on his butt.
"Hey! Which one of you pushed me?!"
Each one of the boys shook his head. Seeing his opportunity, Inuyasha stood up and ran from the circle, tears streaming down his face.

Tsuki sat inside her house, sewing a tapestry, yet not really paying attention to what she was doing. Her mind was on other things. The village had been outraged when they found she had had a child with a demon. They had always tried to keep their distance, merely shooting him scornful looks as they passed. Tsuki wished with all her heart that that were how it would remain, but she knew her hopes were misplaced. She knew what life would be like for her son and longed with all her heart that it didn't have to be that way. She was thrown from her musings by the sound of footsteps.
"Mother!"
Tsuki opened her arms to the young boy, who immediately jumped into them. She gently lifted his head up so she could see his face. Her expression didn't alter when she saw the many bruises there. The period of "peace" had to end eventually. It was inevitable.
"Shhh," she comforted the young hanyou. "Tell me what happened."
"S-some of the village boys w-were teasing me and th-then they hit me," he said in between sobs.
"Did you do anything to make them angry."
He shook his head. "They took my ball. I was just trying to get it back."
"It's alright. I'll talk to the boys' parents."
Tsuki sat there for a while, running her fingers through Inuyasha's silky hair.
"Mother?"
"Yes?"
"Is there such thing as angels?"
"I'm not quite sure. What makes you ask?"
"One of the boys fell down and said he got pushed, but nobody pushed him. I thought I saw a girl behind him. She looked like a ghost, but ghosts aren't that pretty, so I thought she was an angel."
"Maybe she's your guardian angel."
"Really?"
"Of course. Now it's time for someone to go to bed. I have to go somewhere for a while, but I'll be back soon."
"But I'll be alone."
"Don't worry. Your guardian angel will watch you."
"Alright. You won't forget what tomorrow is, will you?"
"Of course not. How could I forget my own son's birthday?"
Inuyasha smiled. "G'night, mother!"
"Good night, my little Inuyasha."
