Chapter 7: The Journey Through Time

"Go to sleep Shippo. Tomorrow is a big day," Kagome told her adopted son. She and Shippo were in the den trying to get ready for bed. Miroku and Sango were sleeping in a bed of furs not far from were Kagome was. Kagome smiled at the fact that the monk and the slayer were so comfortable together while they were asleep, but awake..... Kagome grimaced.

"Kagome, the others will not come in," said Kouga as he and his men walked inside. "Well that's their fault," stated Kagome. She then began muttering about inu yokai.

Kagome slid into the furs next to Shippo, drawing him close to her. The little kitsune rolled over and snuggled up next to his mother with a contented sigh. Kagome felt Kouga getting into bed next to her. He carefully drew his arms around both of them and pulled them up to his chest. Kagome snuggled into his warmth and feel asleep contented to be in his arms.

The next day the eight companions set out for the well. Tailiscar and Kagome had been trying to figure out how to get everyone through the well. Inu Yasha could come, but besides Kagome he had been the only one they knew of that could cross to the different time.

Kagome smiled as they came upon the well. There stood four massive wolves. Each one stood taller than Kagome on four feet. When Tailiscar walked out to greet Kagome the walker and the wolf could look each other directly in the eyes.

Hello my walker. It is good to see you again.

Yes, dark one. It is wonderful to see your face once more.

Do you think this plan will work?

I don't know, but it might.

There is only one way to find out.

After there conversation the two turn to the rest of the group. Kagome laugh at their faces. 0.0 They all looked as if their were either going to faint or run away screaming. "My friends, may I introduce you to my wolf mate Tailiscar, her mate Kaylith, and Groga and Matha two other members of the pack," said Kagome as she indicated each wolf in turn.

Kouga and Shippo were the first to come out of their daze. Kouga lend down and took the boy's hand in his and walked over to Kagome and Tailiscar. "My name is Kouga of the Black Mountains. This is Shippo. We are both honored to meet you," said the pack leader as he and Shippo bowed their head in submission.

I have heard a great deal about you both. I am honored to finally meet Kagome's son and mate.

"Tailiscar!" shouted Kagome. The rest of the group turned curious looks at the four. Kagome faced flushed, Kouga looking both pleased and shocked, and little Shippo looked like he would burst with pride.

"Thank you for the compliment, but how is it that you can talk to us?" asked Kouga.

Simple. I speak to those that I deem worthy of the honor.

"Well let's get this party started," said Kagome trying to shake off her embarrassment. When she got Tailiscar alone, she was going to get that wolf a piece of her mind.

I was only stated the truth, stated Tailiscar calmly.

Shut up!

Oh, come on. He's scent is all over you.

Is not!

It is and you know it, laughed the wolf. Kagome growled low in her throat.

Wolves! She then heard the collective laugh of the pack members there.

But we love you, Kagome, they chorused. Kagome had to smile about that.

Kagome turned to the other six still standing where they were before. "Alright, the plan is that each one of you will get onto one of these wolves. They will then take you through the well."

"Why must I, Sesshoumaru, sit upon that beast?" asked the great lord.

"Since no one else, expect InuYasha can come through we had to think of a way to get all of you through. Tailiscar is bonded to me, therefore, so are the other wolves of her pack. We think we can get all of you through as long as you are connected to some thing from my time. In this case, it is the wolves. So everyone get on a wolf. Kouga and Shippo ride with me." So grumbling the whole way everyone chose a wolf and settle upon them.

After the wolves had all their passenger on them, they walked over to the well. After several minutes of arguing InuYasha had refused to ride on one of the wolves and so had Kikyou. So Kikyou now rode on InuYasha's back, with a smug smile on her face. Kagome growled at the sight.

I really hate her, she thought to Tailiscar

I can take care of that, replied the black wolf. Kagome heard a laugh from Kaylith. She gave the gray wolf a glare and he simply laughed harder.

I'll keep that in mind. We should go know.

Yes let's go.

"Now listen up! When we go through the well there will be light and a warm sensation. Don't be afraid it's normal. Everyone ready? Let's go!"

Just then a scream filled the clearing.Everyone turned and the wolves bared their teeth at the intruder. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief as a small human girl and an ugly frog-like demon came onto the scene. Sesshoumaru sighed and slid off Groga's back.

"Rin what are you doing here?" he asked. Jaken was trying to answer for her, but Sesshoumaru simply kick him away. "Rin want to come too," stated the little girl. "No, Rin you can not come." "But Rin want to come with Sesshoumaru!" screamed the little girl as she clung to the inu yokai. Sesshoumaru turned and looked at Kagome. She smiled at him and said, "Let them both come. The more the merrier." Sesshoumaru nodded his head and began settling the girl and frog demon on Groga's back.

"Oh come on. Let's go already!" yelled InuYasha. "Yes this is taking far too long. It is unfair to make InuYasha and I wait like this," stated Kikyou in her high and mighty manner. The other simply rolled their eyes at the two.

Once everyone was ready, the four wolfs jumped into the well. Groga went first then Matha then Kaylith. Tailiscar move to the well next. Kagome turned around and looked at their passengers. "Are you ready," she asked. Kouga and Shippo nodded their heads. "InuYasha, once we are through you follow us," said Kagome to the inu hanyou.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. Just leave already." Tailiscar leapt into the well and at once they were surrounded by a bright light and warm wrapped around them. Then they were in the well house surrounded by the rest of the pack.

InuYasha jumped in the well after seeing the light coming from it. As he jumped in he felt the now familiar feeling of warmth surround him. The weight on his back vanished as he fell lightly onto the bottom of the well in Kagome time. He looked around and found that Kikyou had not made it through. 'How could that have happened? Everyone least made it through!' he thought as he frantically searched the well for the dead priestess. 'Oh boy am I in trouble,' grumbled the hanyou as he jumped out of the well.

"Where's Kikyou," asked Kagome. She sounded a little too cheerful for InuYasha taste.

"Feh."

Oooohhhh! I beat she is mad! I wouldn't want to be him when he gets back, thought Tailiscar happily. Kouga and Kagome smiled at each other when they both heard Tailiscar comment. Shippo actually laughed a little.

Tailiscar, why can they hear you?

They hear me because of you. You love them both and you love me. Since your love binds us to you, what you hear they can also hear, if I wish it.

Yes Tailiscar is right. The bond that we have with each other. With the pack in love. While we do have a walker, we also can speak to other members of the pack, said Kaylith. Groga and Martha simply nodded their heads in agreement.

That makes sense, said Kagome as she stroked Tailiscar's ears.

Also you must know that I do plan to make your mate my walker tomorrow night, said Kaylith.

What!!! Came both Tailiscar and Kagome.

Yes, since I no longer have a walker and Kagome has basically chosen this demon as her mate it seems only right for me to become one with my mate's walker's mate, said Kaylith in replied.

Kagome and Kouga looked at each other and smiled. We would be honored by that, said Kouga. Kagome was in awe that she could hear his replied. So this is what happens when there is enough love.

So does this mean I have a new daddy? Asked Shippo is a small mental voice. His face lit up when he realized that he had done it.

Yes, it would seem that way, replied the adults. Kouga pulled the two of them to him and hugged his family. He felt so blessed.

Kagome turned to the rest of the group that had been oblivious to their private conversation and looked at all of them with a big smile on her face. "Well let's go inside the house and find out what's been going on," said Kagome as she opened the doors to the well house.

Just as she was about to walk through the door two blurs, one white and the other black, hit her with enough force to knock her back onto the floor. Everyone began shouting at once. Kouga was about to kill the beasts when he heard a faint laugh coming from Kagome. Kaylith gave out a low growl of warning and was matched by Tailiscar's growl. Two young wolf cubs moved from their position above Kagome and dropped their heads in submission to their parents. The other two wolves just rolled their eyes. KIDS.

We're just happy to see Kagome, said Torran.

Yeah, we haven't seen her in such a long time, said Spirit.

I know that children but you need to learn to be more careful. You could have hurt Kagome just now. You are no longer small enough to jump onto people, replied Tailiscar as she looked down at her children.

"Tailiscar, don't get on to them. They were only glad to see me," said Kagome out loud so the other would know what was going on. Tailiscar and Kaylith rolled their eyes and walked outside. Once everyone was in the courtyard the wolves moved off into the forest.

We must get everything ready for tomorrow nights ceremony. Until tomorrow, my walker, said Tailiscar as she followed Kaylith into the woods. Spirit and Torran kept looking back at Kagome with sad eyes, but they followed their parents as they should.

Until tomorrow, replied Kagome.

Kagome turned to the others and noticed that they were all looking at the surrounding area with wide eyes. 'This is going to be interesting,' thought Kagome. "Ok guys, let's go inside and see what Mom is cooking for dinner. Then we all need to talk about the dos and don'ts of this world." The rest of the group walked inside and settle down for a night with Kagome's family.

Meanwhile back at the well:

"I'm going to kill all of them for this embarrassment!" cried out Kikyou as she began the slow climb out of the well. 'I hate Kagome! One day I am going to kill her. I might even make InuYasha and that brat of her's watch as I slit her throat. Of course they won't live long after her,' thought Kikyou as she began the walk back to her sister's village.
