Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha... :sniff... why?

Chapter 1- Prophecy of Hope

An old seer lay upon a futon surrounded by a miko, human, and Inu youkai. Her wrinkled face full of the sorrow and wisdom of her many years. One would have thought her dead if not for the slow rise and fall of her chest, and the steady pulse of her magic. The gray eyes looked upona scene only she could see, and as she spoke her aura flared. "The daughters of purity and heart will return in one hundred years. Only they can forge the alliance between youkai and humans that will cause the demise of the impending evil. The Star and Sun will return, sisters in soul, they will draw power from one another." As she finished, her eyes returned to their clouded azure hue and looked upon the inhabitants of the small hut. She caught each pair of eyes in turn with her steady gaze, and at last fell upon the lone youkai. In her voice once again raspy with old age she spoke, "You, Lord of the West, will be last to remain when this prophecy comes to pass. As a last request, I would have you aid the sisters to the best of your ability. They will need protection, and a guide with the wisdom only a fighter such as yourself can provide. Please train them and give them the strength they need to complete their destinies." The youkai nodded, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face as the old seer took her last breath. The seer would be the last to see such a rare display of emotion from the stoic youkai, and he left the miko and human in the hut to return to his palace. He would record the prophecy and wait for its passing. He called upon his cloud of youki and took to the skies in search of his retainer. The Inu youkai would keep a watchful eye for the signs of the sun and str that would lead him to the sisters in a hundred years.

100 years later

"Inuyasha, SIT BOY!" screamed 19 year old Kagome, a miko in training. She'd returned from her home 500 years in the future after a test, only to get yelled at by a stubborn hanyou in the Feudal era. Her eye was twitching, and her hands were clenched at the hem of her school uniform's green skirt.

"What was that for, WENCH!" huffed the Inu hanyou as the effects of the subduing rosary around his neck wore off, and he pushed himself out of the small crater created by the spell.

"Lady Kagome only returned to her home for two days, Inuyasha. Besides, we all deserved a small break from hunting the Shikon shards for two straight weeks." Miroku, the monk observed while trying to stifle a laugh at the sight of the hanyou's mud covered face and haori. Inuyasha's puppy dog-ears were twitching furiously to remove the mud that had found its way inside.

"Feh, whatever." stated Inuyasha as he plopped onto the floor of the old miko, Kaede's hut. Kagome eyed him fiercely and grabbed Sango, the demon exterminator's hand who had been watching the scene with a small frown upon her face.

"We're going to bathe before dinner. Shippo?" the young Kitsune demon looked up from coloring with his new "magic sticks", "Please keep an eye on the hentai."

"Yes Mama!" replied Shippo as he eyed said hentai monk who had a hurt expression upon his handsome face. Kagome smiled at Shippo's referal to her as his "mama". He'd begun calling her his mother after a particularly difficult battle against several Oni youkai, when she'd been injured badly. He'd cried for hours repeating "Okaasan" after she blacked out from pain.

"You wound me, Lady Kagome. I am but a monk." said Miroku as both demon exterminator and miko in training glared at him.

"I placed the fighting kimono's ye requested in the yellow bag ye brought. The young village seamstress brought them to my hut yesterday." Kaede prompted from her seat beside the fire.

"Thanks, Kaede." Kagome said as she grabbed her bathing supplies and a soft, deep blue kimono, with sakura blossoms that followed the slits up the sides to her hips, and trimmed the billowing sleeves. Kagome still did not know what possessed her to ask for the kimonos, but she shrugged the thought off as she grabbed a pair of the baggy pants. She would wear the pants underneath the kimono and creamy colored sash that matched the blossoms. "Let's go."

She and Sango walked out of the hut and towards the springs where they could talk in private. When they reached the springs the slid out of their clothing and into the warm water. Both women sighed contentedly as they began to wash. "I can't believe Inuyasha! He's such a jerk! It's not like I didn't come back..."

"You shouldn't be so hard on him. He was worried Kagome. He stayed by the well for hours before Miroku was able to convince him to come to Kaede's for dinner. He looked like a lost puppy. Maybe it's not that he doesn't want you to visit you family, but that he's worried you'll leave." Sango suggested, causing a light blush to spread across Kagome's cheeks.

"Do you really think so?" Kagome asked in a hopeful voice. 'Maybe there is some hope for Inuyasha and I...'

"Yeah, I do." Sango replied with a knowing smile. At that moment both girls heard a quiet rustling in the bushed nearby and sighed. 'Just when we were having a relaxing bath...'

THUMP

"Oww..." Sango climbed out of the spring and dressed. She walked towards the moan of pain and found an unconscious monk lying on the ground, with a quickly bruising lump on his forehead where she'd hit him with a stone. "It's Miroku, Kagome."

"Who else did you expect Sango?" queried a fully clothed Kagome as she approached the demon exterminator.

Sango sighed, "I guess we'll have to carry him back to the hut."

"Sango?"

"What?"

"Would you like to get Miroku back for spying on us?"

"What did you have in mind?" Kagome explained her idea to Sango, and after several minutes of "payback" as Kagome called it, the two women left the still unconscious monk next to the spring. A half hour after their return a loud commotion was heard outside Kaede's hut, and several moments later a very upset monk stumbled inside. As soon as the companions saw Miroku's face a loud chorus of laughter erupted from their throats. Once their laughter quieted, the monk took up a position he's seen Kagome use quite often, with his hands on his hips and a serious look upon his faced and asked them the reason behind their amusement.

"What's so funny? You're all looking at me like I've grown an extra head, and why did several of the village men say, "Good day, Milady"? At the mention of his new name Sango and Kagome burst into another fit of giggles that had them both clutching their sides in mirth. After containing her laughter to smaller giggles, Kagome stood and withdrew a compact mirror from inside her familiar yellow backpack.

"This will show you a reflection of your face Miroku; it's called a mirror." The companions watched in amusement as he looked into the small modern day item and his expression changed from one of confusion, to shock, and all too soon the girls and even Kaede broke out into laughter once again at the monk-turned-woman. Inuyasha smirked and poked Shippo and Sango's Neko youkai, Kilala, in the sides to wake them from their slumbers.

"What happened to me? Why do I look like a woman?" Sango and Kagome glanced at one another and started giggling madly again.

"I believe ye have been covered in what Kagome refers to as make-up, Miroku." stated Kaede as she stared at him with an amused glint in her aged eyes. Shippo rubbed his blurry eyes furiously at Kaede's comment and opened them to a bewildered, female-looking Miroku.

"How did you turn into a girl, Miroku? Did the Kami do it because you're a hentai?" the fox kit asked innocently, not having heard his mother's description of the "payback" that had been inflicted upon the monk.

"No, Shippo," spoke Kagome, "two women did it when he decided to spy on them while they were bathing. Miroku had to walk through the village looking like a woman, and I'm betting he asked at least one woman if they would bear his child. I think that their plan worked quite well!" Kagome then smiled innocently at Miroku and returned to making ramen for dinner.

At her statement Miroku looked from the pail of water he'd been cleaning his face with and glanced between Sango and Kagome. When they both smiled at him once more he knew he shouldn't have gone spying on them, but being the hentai he was he knew he'd do it again, even if it meant getting turned into a woman every time. After all, he rather liked the blush that crept across the exterminator's face when he was caught.

The group ate a quiet dinner, but the peace was not to last. Kagome announced she would be returning home that night to take exams for a week.

"NO!"

"But-"

"NO! You can't go back! You just took two days off that we could have been hunting for shards of the Shikon jewel!"

"Inuyasha..."

"Kagome, NO MEANS NO!"

"SIT BOY!"

"BITCH! YOU CAN'T LEAVE UNLESS I SAY SO!"

"INUYASHA! DON'T CALL ME THAT! SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!"

The others stared in amusement as an Inuyasha shaped crater was formed in the still soft ground. Kagome grabbed her yellow backpack, said a quick "good bye", and jumped on transformed Kilala's back. The Neko youkai too to the sky and deposited Kagome at the Bone Eater's Well; it would transport her back to her home 500 years in the future, modern day Japan. "Tell everyone I'll be back as soon as I can. By Kilala." Kagome waved to the fire neko and jumped into the well, disappearing with a familiar flash of blue light. Neither youkai nor human noticed as the sad amber eyes of a certain Inu hanyou watched Kagome leave for home. How the owner of those eyes wished their home, the Feudal era, was the young miko's home instead of 500 years in the future.
