Roar of the Dragon: I've decided to abandon my original idea and not limit the number of chapters. This story will continue until Kimiko reaches age 16ish. That means you guys have to wait longer for a sequel, so I hope you don't mind.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

I apologize in advance for any mistakes I make regarding Japanese customs or language usage.

Review Responses: Wow, you people really like this story don't you?

OsuwariTetsusaiga: Kagome introduces Kimiko to one of her friends in this chapter, Glad you liked the ramen part.

MVT: I know, I hate to see a good story abandoned. I might have to take more time writing each chapter, but I will keep this story updating constantly, but not every three days like I planned.

Lynn-Minmay: Yes, Kimiko is extremely cute, even though I'm a guy, I like imagining her raiding the ramen cupboard

Sword Master Jeff: glad you liked Shippo's present and the inu-youkai language, I'm particularly proud of those plot elements.

Katsuri: Ahhh, but if I ended the chapter differently, you wouldn't be so eager to read more.

IYWriterGirl, Kagome lover 2009, chrisy12, chi-chi-puppy, & Sweet Sad Jess: Glad you liked the kawaiiness and family moments, here's the next chapter.

Dark Inu Fan: Kimiko grew up quickly because youkai children survive by being able to keep up with their parents right after they're born. The only part of her that might grow for now rapidly is her vocabulary. Things she hears in human language a lot will be spoken in human, but confusing ideas and things that excite her will be in Inu-youkai language.

inufreak831: Tickled dragons lose control of their fire breath. So consider carefully before trying to tickle me, especially since I'm fire proof.

Story Weaver1: I figured people would like it if Kimiko inherited her father's love of Ramen and it was the first thing she said.

The sudden ringing of the phone woke Kagome from her afternoon nap on the couch with Kimiko. Kagome heard her mother answer the phone. "Moshi-moshi! Oh, Belldandy, how nice to hear from you. How are things going at the temple? Oh really? I'll tell Kagome right now. Yes, she's home right now for a visit with her husband and kids. Yes, I said kids. See you tomorrow, bye!" Mrs. Higurashi hung up the phone and walked into the living room. "That was Mrs. Morisato. Their family just got back from a visit to see her parents and wanted to come visit since they missed your wedding." Kagome blinked and frowned. "I'd like to see Lina and her family again, but what if we let slip where Inuyasha and Shippo come from or that we're hanyous and a youkai?" asked Kagome.

A loud "Keh" from behind her had Kagome turn to see Inuyasha leaning against the stairwell wall. "I can wait to return to my time, besides, we have our rings. Kaede gave me a necklace that does the same trick for Kimiko. Since I've never met these people and you both seem to want to see them, I can guess that they're family friends you don't often see," said Inuyasha. Kagome stared at her mate for a second then tackled him in a hug chanting, "Thank you!" repeatedly.
Around ten the next morning, a van pulled up to the Higurashi Shrine steps. The occupants climbed out, revealing one man, two older women, and two older teens about 18 years old. Keiichi Morisato glanced at his half goddess half mortal daughter Lina. "Are you happy to see Kagome after so long?" he asked. Lina nodded, her long black hair bobbing up and down in its waist length braid. "I can't believe she's married and has kids already," said Lina. Unnoticed by Keiich, Belldandy had gathered in a huddle with her sisters Urd and Skuld. {Do you sense those weird energy patterns from the house?} asked Skuld. {Yes, it looks like some particularly strong earth spirits have moved in with the Higurashi family, but something is different about Kagome's pattern, it seems more like a mix between a low level goddess, an earth spirit, and a mortal.} said Urd. {None of us will do anything while any pure mortals are present, except Keiichi.} said Belldandy to all of them. Belldandy quickly filled Lina and Keiichi in on the situation and warned them that things might get crazy. The whole group then climbed the steps to the Higurashi house.

Upon reaching the house, Lina rang the doorbell. All four of the women felt two of the earth spirit patterns approach the door, which opened to reveal a smiling Kagome holding Kimiko in her arms. Lina blinked because while her mortal sight showed her childhood friend holding her silver haired daughter, her divine sight showed both Kagome and the little girl had dog ears, a tail, and claws on their hands. Lina mentally confirmed this with her mother and aunts. ::Is Kagome possessed by a demon?:: wondered the demi goddess.

"Lina, Mr. and Mrs. Morisato, Ms. Urd, Skuld, come in! It's so good to see you again!" said Kagome as she ushered the group in. Since Lina had attended a different high school than her, Kagome hadn't seen her childhood friend for about five years. As Kagome and Kimiko led everyone into the living room, Mrs. Higurashi and Shippo brought in trays of tea and snacks while Inuyasha came downstairs with Souta and sat next to Kagome. The three goddesses, one demi-goddess, and mortal took in Inuyasha and Shippo's feudal era clothes and the sheathed Tetsusaiga at Inuyasha's waist as they noted Inuyasha's ears and claws as well as Shippo's big fluffy tail. After Mrs. Higurashi had served everyone refreshments, Kagome introduced Lina's family to her mate and pups and vise versa. After a few minutes of pleasant chatting, the phone range. Mrs. Higurashi left tow answer it and soon ran back into the living room. "Souta, I forgot you had a dentist appointment today. We have to go now! I'll have to talk to you later Belldandy, bye!" she said as she hustled Souta out the door.

Kagome chuckled at her mom's hyper attitude before turning back to Lina to ask how school was going for her. That's when the goddesses and demi-goddess revealed their goddess markings on their faces. As they expected, Kagome's family except for Kimiko, were startled at this sight. What none of them expected was for Shippo and Kagome to say, "You're all youkai?" while Inuyasha unsheathed the sword at his side, which transformed from a rusted blade to a giant gleaming fang, before leaping front of Kagome, Kimiko, and Shippo. What Kagome and her family didn't expect was for Keiichi and the Goddesses to burst out in laughter.

"Youkai? You mean those animal demons from feudal legends?" gasped Keiichi. "Yeah right, and I'm the Lord of the Western Lands." Inuyasha snorted, "Keh, you smell nothing like my brother." "Brother?" asked Urd. "Yes, my brother Sesshomaru inherited the title of Taiyoukai of the Western Lands when my father Inutaishou died from wounds he suffered in his battle with Ryukossei," replied Inuyasha.

Belldandy sighed. "This isn't getting us anywhere. Kagome dear, could you please explain how you gained dog ears, a tail, and claws since we last saw you?" Kagome nodded and said, "It all started on my 15th birthday, when I went into the well house out back..."
Two hours later, the story of Kagome's time traveling adventures had been told up to Kimiko's birth. "Wow," said Lina, "If I hadn't read about Inuyasha and the Shikon Jewel in school, I would find this hard to believe." Kagome's family had long since revealed their youkai and hanyou features. Skuld and Lina were holding Shippo and Kimiko on their laps respectively. "Now could you please explain how all of you but Mr. Morisato were able to see our hanyou and youkai features?" asked Kagome. All the goddesses glanced at Keiichi who sweat dropped and grimaced. "I was trying to order take out and accidentally called the Goddess hotline..." he said as he started the story of how he had met Belldandy during his sophomore year at NIT.
Three hours later, Keiichi had told his story and Kagome was impressed at the trials he had been forced to go through since Belldandy entered his life. What impressed Inuyasha the most was how Belldandy described the Goddesses' license system and what each level determined for power output. "So you're saying that a Goddess Second Class, Limited, Restricted License would have enough power to level Tokyo?" gasped Kagome. "And Lina is the weakest of you four as a Goddess First Class, Limited, Restricted License?" Belldandy nodded while Lina looked embarrassed. Inuyasha's eyes were as big as dinner plates as he said, "That's even stronger than Sesshomaru at his best!" "What did you mean when you mentioned angels?" asked Shippo. The goddesses and demi-goddess glanced at each other before asking if they could move the conversation to the backyard.

Once everyone was outside, each goddess raised her hand. "Come forth, World of Elegance, Holy Bell, Noble Scarlet, Shining Friendship!" chanted Urd, Belldandy, Skuld, and Lina respectively. A winged female figure emerged from the back of each of the goddesses to hover above their respective Goddess. Shippo stared at the Angels wide eyed as Kimiko giggled and clapped from her place on Inuyasha's shoulders. Kagome and Inuyasha both gasped and clung together at the sight of so much heavenly beauty. The angels all smiled and bowed to their friends before shrinking back into the Goddesses' backs, except for Shining Friendship, who darted around Kimiko a few times before lightly kissing the pup's forehead and shrinking back into the demi-goddess.

Kagome sighed as she stored the image of the Angels in her heart forever before approaching Belldandy. "Mrs. Morisato, could you please examine the well we use to travel through time and see if you can tell us why only Inuyasha and I can use it?" asked Kagome. Belldandy nodded and entered the well house and spread her arms over the well. "Oh my goodness, this is at once one of the most complex and simple spells I have seen in my entire existence!" exclaimed Belldandy. "The spell on this well only allows hanyous and mikos through. Urd, you know more of creating spells than me, do you think we can modify this one?" Urd nodded and walked over to stand opposite her sister, mimicking Belldandy's stance. Urd closed her eyes and a soft white light emerged from her hands and moved over every part of the well. Urd opened her eyes and said, "We can modify it, but because of the complexity of the spell, we'll need Skuld to make sure it takes hold." Skuld ran over and assumed a position that put each sister at the corner of an equilateral triangle around the well as she mimicked her sisters' stances.

All three goddesses began to chant in a tongue only Lina could understand. A bright blue light shone from the well as well as forming a circle around Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld. Kagome and her family, Lina, and Keiichi watched as all three goddesses started floating slightly off the ground as they continued chanting. After about five minutes, the glow seemed to get sucked into the well and the goddesses settled to the ground. "Well, it looks like the spell was modified," said Skuld as she waved a strange device over the well. "Now we just have to test if we modified it the exact way we wanted to."

Shippo ran over to and jumped up on the rim of the well. "What did you to the well Ms. Skuld?" he asked. Skuld giggled and said, "Just call me Skuld Shippo, I'm still a teenager in Goddess years," before patting Shippo on his head. "What we did was alter the original spell that allows your parents to travel through the well to allow anyone with a pure heart free of evil intent to use the well." Shippo absorbed this information before asking, "So I could use the well by myself now?"

"Why don't we find out?" said Inuyasha as he walked up to the well. The next thing Shippo knew, Inuyasha had grabbed him and tossed him down the well. "WAAAHHH! HAAAALLLLLPPPP OKA-" yelled Shippo as he disappeared in a flash of purple light. "Baka Inuyasha, sitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsitsit!" yelled Kagome. Inuyasha started digging an Inuyasha shaped hole a mile deep as he repeatedly kissed the floor of the well house. "Why hasn't Shippo come back yet?" asked Kagome as she became aware that her pup hadn't returned to her yet. "He might have banged his head since Inuyasha threw him in," said Lina, as she joined Kagome who was preparing to jump into the well. "Nani?" asked Kagome. "If Shippo is unconscious, I can revive him and treat him for a concussion. Besides, I want to see what the feudal era looks like," said Lina. Kagome nodded and the two girls leaped into the well.

Lina and Kagome arrived in the Feudal era in time to find Shippo sitting up and whimpering as he rubbed his head. "Baka Inuyasha, when he climbs out of the hole I sat him into, he's sleeping on the couch tonight with no dinner," growled Kagome as Lina knelt down by Shippo. A soft green light emitted from Lina's palms as she gently placed them on Shippo's head. Shippo instantly felt better and leaped into Kagome's arms. "Oka-san!" he purred- growled as he nuzzled Kagome's cheek. Just then, a loud scream reached Kagome and Shippo's ears. "That's Rin," gasped Kagome. "We have to find her and help her." "Grab on," said Lina as a large pair of angel wings seemed to sprout from her back. Kagome and Shippo grabbed on and Lina zipped up out of the well and in the direction the mother and son's senses said the scream came from. They soon found Rin being chased by a large number of creatures that resembled humanoid bugs with scythes for claws (AN: think of the space pirates from the Metroid series). "Lina, take Shippo and Rin and find Sesshomaru, he's over in that direction, Shippo will guide you. I'll hold these monsters off!" called Kagome as she whipped out her bow from its holder on her back and put an arrow to the string. "Aigyou-nagareboshi-suisei!" she yelled as she pulled back and released the arrow. The blazing combination of miko and youkai energy tore through the monsters, leaving only bits and pieces.

Lina meanwhile, had grabbed Rin and rushed in the direction Kagome had indicated. Shippo soon had Rin calmed down and the little girl told them how a giant hole in the air had suddenly appeared and a giant monster that didn't smell like a youkai to Sesshomaru attacked the Taiyoukai. Rin and Jaken had fled at Sesshomaru's order, but Jaken had tripped and broke his leg. Rin had bravely led the bugs away from the little toad, which was where Kagome and Lina had found her. Shippo meanwhile kept directing Lina towards the scent of Sesshomaru's blood, which was getting stronger as they got closer. Lina burst into a clearing and found Sesshomaru locked in battle with a strange dragon creature. The dragon was spitting fireballs at the Taiyoukai and attempting to grab him and bite his head off. Lina quickly told Shippo and Rin to stay in hiding behind a large boulder and returned to the edge of the clearing. "Spirits of the air, heed my call. Gather your power and release it at my foe. I am Lina, Goddess of the elements, and I call down the thunder on this evil! LIGHTNING BALL!" chanted Lina as she aimed her hands at the dragon. A ball of electricity gathered between her hands and as Lina finished her chant, it shot from her hands to strike the dragon in the wings. "RAWR!" howled the dragon in pain before crashing to the ground. Sesshomaru took the opportunity to lunge in with Toukijin drawn. "Die" he growled as he plunged the sword into the dragon's chest. The dragon let out an agonized shriek and collapsed in twitching heap.

"Sesshomaru-sama! You're okay" yelled Rin as she and Shippo ran into the clearing upon seeing the dragon down for the count. "Of course Rin. This Sesshomaru would never be defeated by such an idiotic creature." replied the Taiyoukai as he sheathed Toukijin. Lina stepped forward and bowed, saying, "You must be Sesshomaru. I am a friend of your brother's mate from her time. I am glad I was able to assist you." Sesshomaru bowed also and said, "This Sesshomaru offers his thanks for your help to both him and for saving Rin. This Sesshomaru desires to know your name." Lina smiled and said, "My name is Lina Morisato." Sesshomaru smiled at Rin then his eyes widened and he lunged, pushing Rin behind him.

THUNK Lina, Rin, and Shippo stared at Sesshomaru is horror. The dragon that they had thought was dead had whipped its tail at Rin in an attempt to spear her and Sesshomaru had taken the blow intended for the little girl on his chest. The tail had punctured his entire body, causing blood to gush from the wound. "Bastard, you shall not slay this Sesshomaru that easily," gasped the Taiyoukai. "Die!" he growled as he slashed the dragon into little chunks with his poison whip. Sesshomaru then collapsed. "Sesshomaru-sama! Are you all right?!" screamed Rin as she ran up and hugged him. "This is bad," said Shippo, "he must have fought off as many of those bug creatures as he could and the dragon attacked when most of his energy was gone. I don't think he can make it." Rin started sobbing as Sesshomaru hugged her with his right arm. "Rin this Sesshomaru loved you... like... his.. daughter... he... wishes... you... were..." gasped Sesshomaru. Lina gasped as he finished speaking and a bright white light shot from the diamond mark on her forehead into the air. "Wish approved and granted." said Lina in a slightly hollow voice. A sudden blue glow enveloped Rin and as it faded, Shippo was surprised to see Rin now had youkai ears, amber eyes, a thick black tail, and crescent moon on her forehead. "Rin, you're a youkai!" he squeaked. Lina meanwhile had started using a healing spell on Sesshomaru and had managed to stabilize him. "Dang, I don't have enough power to fully heal you Sesshomaru, I can only keep you from getting any worse," she said with tears in her eyes.

Rin looked up and suddenly grabbed Tensaiga. Before her strange transformation, Rin wouldn't have been able to keep her balance while holding the sword, but now she managed to grip it and slash the air above Sesshomaru. Lina suddenly sensed a surge of energy flowing through the youkai followed by the sight of his body returning to normal. She then almost fainted when an arm sprouted from his left sleeve. Sesshomaru sat up, an expression of amazement on his face. Rin dropped Tensaiga and tackled the Taiyoukai around the waist yelling, "Otou-san, otou-san!" as she hugged him and snuggled up against him. "What just happened to Rin?" Sesshomaru asked. Lina quickly explained about her being a demi-goddess and how the Goddess Relief Office granted wishes to worthy mortals. "In your case, you viewed Rin as your daughter but knew that could never really be true. So when you said you wished she was your daughter, I granted your wish." said Lina as she finished her explanation.

Sorry I took so long on getting this chapter out, I kept rewriting some parts. I'm changing my updates to once a week, probably Saturday or Sunday. Now, what do you guys think of Rin becoming a little girl youkai? Stupid FF.net, taking away my time passes indicator, from now on, a horizontal line will indicate time passing.
