Chapter 5

Back to the Past

Inwe was happy that InuYasha said that she could go but a part of her wished he would have said no. InuYasha left the room to tell Kagome the new and left Inwe by herself, to think. 'What if he rejects me? What if he changed?' Inwe's Eyes widened at the thought of Miroku being different.

"What if he doesn't even remember me?!?" she said thinking out loud.

"What if who doesn't remember you?" said a voice. It was Kagome. "So, your coming with us, that's great!!"

"It is great but never mind, you wouldn't understand" Inwe said looking down at the floor.

"Oh" kagome said.

Inwe looked up at Kagome and smiled and said, "Hey, we're going to have a blast!"

"Yah, you've got to meet our friends who travel with us! There is Shippo, my adopted son, you'll like him! Sango, a demon exterminator and Miroku, He's a monk with a cursed hand. I think Miroku and Sango would make the perfect couple!"

"Oh, I'm very happy for them" said Inwe reluctantly. Kagome notice that she didn't sound happy at all.

"Are you ok, Inwe?" she asked.

"I'm Fine, I'm fine. Don't worry"

InuYasha walked in and said "Are ya ready to go?"

"Yes InuYasha we're ready. Let's go Kagome." Inwe said smiling.

InuYasha took a closer look at Inwe's clothes. It was her Miko clothes. They looked just like Kikyo's. Then InuYasha Remembered Something. Inwe is a Miko, she trained with Kikyo. That's when she had a brighter aura. She was always laughing and playing around with her with her best friend, Miroku. Wait a minute how can Miroku be your and alive now. He's not an elf or demon. 'Well, I'll have to ask him later' thought InuYasha.

As they entered the shine, Kagome's grandfather and brother came over to them.

"Kagome, why have brought home another demon?!?" Before Inwe could talk Souta asked, "Do you have ears like InuYasha? Can I see them? Do you fight Demons, too? Do You..."

Inwe interrupted, "first, Kid, I'm not a demon I'm an elf and when I was younger I did fight demons."

"Younger but you only look as old as sis." said Souta.

"Look, boy, looks can be deceiving. InuYasha is only two years older than me."

"Kagome, Inwe," InuYasha said "we better get going."

"Bye, Gramps, cya brat" Kagome said as they jumped into the well.

As Inwe climbed out of the well, she looked at her surroundings.

She smiled 'it looks the same!' Once all of them were fully out of the well, kagome said "come to the village, Keade will be there! It will be like a family reunion!"

"You mean little Keade is still alive after all these years!!" Inwe was ecstatic. Last time she was Keade, Keade was only a little girl.

"Ya and you can meet all our friends. But be careful of Miroku, he can be a bit perverted."

"Okay" Inwe said. Of course Inwe already knew that.

"Come on! Let's go, we don't have all day!" said InuYasha. He was a bit aggravated because he didn't get a chance to talk about their friends.

In the village they were greeted by of course of villagers. As the elderly miko called Keade came out to greet them back, she was shocked to see her cousin, Inwe there.

"Inwe, is that really you?" Keade asked. She was not totally sure that was her because her aura was different.

"Yes, my cousin, it's me, Inwe. I've missed you so much."

"Inwe, your aura is more negative then I remember. What happened?" asked the old miko.

"Well, my parents died and my two eldest siblings ran away." said Inwe sadly.

"I'm sorry for ye, Inwe. Come in to my hut and warm up" Keade said feeling sad about the tragedy that had befallen on her elder cousin.

"Where are they all, ya old hag" said InuYasha Impatiently.

"Calm down, InuYasha" Keade said "they should be back in an hour." Inwe looked at her watch. It was 4:45. She was hungry.

"Keade let me cook the food. It's the least I can do." said Inwe.

"As ye wish" answered Keade.

About 15 minutes after Inwe started cooking, they heard a knock on the door and a young woman say "Were back". Keade Replied "Yes child come in. We have a visitor." Inwe heard the door open. She did not see who came through the door because her back was facing the door.

"Ah, who is this woman how will not show her supposedly lovely face" the young monk also known as Miroku question.

"How are you Miroku, my old friend?" That was only thing Inwe could say.

"Inwe? Is it really you? It is Right?" Inwe couldn't speak. She was frightened. Keade noticed this and spoke up "Yes, this is Inwe."

Miroku couldn't believe it. It was his Inwe! Then something hit him hard. 'What about Sango I love her also!'

Miroku took a step towards Inwe and asked, "Why are you here?" No answer came from the elf, so he continued "what if your father finds out?!?"

"Miroku, Inwe's parents are dead" Keade said.
