"Boys! Calm down!"
Miroku and Shippo helplessly watch as Sango tries to separate Kouga and InuYasha. Miroku taps his food bowl. "Give it up Sango. Only Kagome can stop those two from fighting."
"But only when I can actually stand you!" InuYasha yells at Kouga.
"Your one to talk! I only came here dog-boy 'cause I thought Kagome would be here!"
"Well she ain't here Kouga so go home!"
Shippo looks up from one of his candies. "That reminds me, InuYasha. It's been three days, shouldn't Kagome be back by now?"
Kouga looks at him funny. "Back from where?" InuYasha pushes him aside and walks by him. "Not important. C'mon Shippo, let's go." Shippo eats the rest of his candy and jumps on InuYasha's shoulder. "Buh-bye Kouga!" Shippo yells mockingly. Kouga watches still confused and turns to Sango and Miroku. "What's he talking about?"
Sango shakes her head. "I'm not explaining it."
Kagome throws her bag over the rim of the well and pulls herself over. Instead of her regular school outfit she's wearing those priestess clothes like Kikyou-san.
"I really hope that InuYasha and the others don't say anything. I can't believe Souta forgot to put my clothes in the dryer."
"Hey Kagome!"
Shippo jumps off InuYasha's shoulder and runs to Kagome and jumps into her arms. "Kagome your back! But, why are you wearing those clothes. Kagome smiles weakly. "Well—" She looks up. InuYasha doesn't look very happy. She picks up her bag. "Before you say a thing InuYasha…"
He cuts her off. "That bastard Kouga is looking for you." Kagome looks surprised. "Kouga's here?"
"Been bugging the hell out of me."
Shippo nods. "And me!"
Kagome sighs. "Fine. I'll go talk to him." Shippo follows her. "InuYasha, are you coming?"
InuYasha shakes his head. "No, Kagura is here." Kagome stops. "Kagura?"
"She's close. Go back to the village Kagome. Take Shippo too." Kagome drops her bag.
"'Kay. Oh and InuYasha?"
InuYasha starts to unsheathe his sword. "What?"
Kagome picks up her bag again. "Don't kill her unless I'm around. Kagura is mine." Shippo stops and stares. "Ohh."
InuYasha nods nervously. "O-O-Okay."
Kagome stomps off towards the village leaving Shippo crawling after her and InuYasha stunned…and a little scared.
Kagura and Yume are floating close by the well on her feather. "He's close, get ready." Kagura takes out her fan. Yume looks down. "He who? Who are you talking about? Are you talking about that demon?" Kagura rolls her eyes in disgust. "You talk to much for a human."
Yume blushes. "Sorry. I don't mean too."
"Well keep it down."
Kagura looks down. InuYasha comes running toward them and stops.
"Thanks for saving me the trouble of finding you, Kagura!" Yume looks down.
"Hmm? Who's the brat? Another one of you reincarnations?" InuYasha asks.
Kagura shakes her head. And tips the feather slightly that Yume falls off and hits the ground.
InuYasha looks disgusted again. "What was that for?"
Yume gets up like nothing happened.. "Hey! You pushed me!"
Both Kagura and InuYasha ignore her. "Kanna brought her 15 years from the future by passage of her mirror."
InuYasha shrugs. "So why bring her here?"
Kagura looks around and whispers, "She can tell you where Naraku is hiding. I would myself but I'm under watch."
InuYasha looks around as well. "You really want Naraku to die."
Kagura nods and flies off. "InuYasha sheaths the Tetsusaiga and turns to Yume.
"So kid…you came from Kanna's mirror?" Miroku was right. Kanna and Kagura are getting stronger. "Kid?"
Yume looks up at him. InuYasha stops and stares at her. She-She looks-just like Kagome!
Yume gets up and brushes herself off. "Yep I am Yume. And—" She starts to cry. InuYasha realizes he's been holding his breath and lets go. "'And'?"
Yume bursts into tears. "Oh! I want my mommy!"
InuYasha's face goes completely red and he steps back. She couldn't mean—she couldn't be—the who?
Yume rubs her eyes. InuYasha sighs and can't leave her. She looks too much like Kagome. I guess I have to help.
InuYasha sighs an annoying sigh. "Do you know where she might live?" Yume looks at him funny.
Oh yeah. Kagura said she's from the future. She might not know what her mom looks like 15 years younger.
"Yes. I know this place. It's a little different but—I know where the village is. It's close by."
InuYasha starts to panic a little. "W-Would you recognize her now?"
Yume nods. "Uh huh! I know my mommy anywhere! Even if she does look a little different. I don't know. When Kanna sent me here I forgot some things like—um…" Yume stands there for a minute and thinks. "Um…this is kind of embarrassing but I forgot who my father is."
InuYasha is still completely red. "A-And?"
"I forget some things that I used to do with her. And—I forget a lot of things about my dad. But worst of all…I forget my mommy's name."
InuYasha sighs. "Fine. Follow me." InuYasha turns around and heads straight for Kaede's village. Yume is right behind him.
