A Christmas Tale Ch 2, an inuyasha fanfic

A/N: I'm updating a little earlier then before! I sincerely hope that you all enjoy it! And I thank all the reviewers who have encouraged me to write this second chapter. Even though most of them were death threats!

Dedications: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to my uncle who had died a few years ago. He was a great man, who loved his children and wife dearly. He had died because of a certain drug called nicotine which is usually found in cigarettes.

If someone that is extremely close to you, or someone from your family, please help them to stop, and pray that they will get better. I send my prayers to my aunt and cousins, as well as the people who are dying because of that accursed drug who have stolen many lives, including my uncle.

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! If I did though, I wouldn't be suffering from my sister's nagging…

A Christmas Tale

By: AngelMiko289

Chapter 2

'Christmas is the time for family. The sad thing is that some people become so busy, that they don't realize that they are missing out on their family. Each year that they aren't there on Christmas, it feels like they weren't there for a family celebration. As soon as you know it, time runs out, and you won't be able to cherish the celebration with. Fate and time are valuable things, especially on Christmas. So cherish each moment, even on Christmas Eve.'

-Memoir of Inuyasha Takashi

Inuyasha sighed and looked himself in a full body mirror. His black eyebrows pushed together in anger and frustration as he ripped off the tie that was chocking him earlier. He frowned once again, and then unbuttoned three buttons that were on the collar and he sighed in relief.

"That's better…" he muttered as he grabbed a black formal jacket. He wore black pants, with dress shoes. He then grabbed a brush and tamed his black hair and placed it into a braid.

He smirked and walked out to go to the bathroom. Just when he was about to open the door, he heard the noise of pounding footsteps. He turned around, just in time for a small, red-headed boy run up to him, and hugs his legs.

Inuyasha looked down and chuckled. "What's the matter Shippo?" he asked as he gently pried off the young boy's fingers. The small 6 year old boy looked up at Inuyasha, his face blue and his breath raspy.

"He-l-p!" he squeaked out. Inuyasha quickly looked at Shippo, and growled at him.

"Let me guess. You put your tie on too tight?" he asked as he pulled down on the small tie and it came loose.

Shippo wheezed and nodded. Inuyasha chuckled. "This is why I don't wear ties. They are invented to choke people to death."

Shippo giggled and hugged Inuyasha once more. "Thanks… daddy…."

"Come on mom! Do I have to wear this!" complained Kagome as she pulled down her knee length dress. She was wearing a dark blue sparkling knee length dress. It was in a Chinese styled dress. Her hair was let loose, with a diamond barrette holding some of her hair aside. She wore some light makeup and had a bracelet on her wrist.

Her mother smiled. "Well of course dear! It looks lovely on you! Now, we have to wait for Rin and her guests to arrive… Oh dear… I wonder if Souta got his tux on right…" she muttered, slightly worried of her youngest.

Kagome snorted, "Don't worry about the gaki, he's probably asking Grandpa to help."

Mrs. Hiragishi glanced at her daughter and gave her a withering glare. "Now that's making me more worried about him. You know how 'dependable' your grandfather is, Grandpa is about as 'dependable' as one of those folk legends that he keeps on spouting."

Kagome nodded. "That's exactly what I mean… And you tell me that Grandpa is always dependable!" she said cheerfully as she went to the kitchen and grabbed a soda.

"MOM! HELPPP! GRANDPA IS SLAPPING SUTRAS ON THE TIE!" shouted a boy's voice as Kagome popped the soda lid and sipped some of the soda down.

"What did I tell you mom. I bet that Grandpa is declaring that the tie is cursed with a demon." Kagome cracked a grin. "Who knows? Maybe he's actually right this time."

Kagome's mom didn't hear her as she raced up the stairs, to 'rescue' her 10 year old boy.

Kagome rolled her eyes and set the soda down and was about to sit down on the couch and flip on the T.V. when the door bell rang.

"Kagome! Can you get the door!" yelled out Mrs. Hiragishi from Souta's room. Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes in exasperation. She smoothed the wrinkles out of her dress, and straightened up, her semi-high heel shoes clicking every time she walked on the wooden floor.

Kagome unlocked the door, just when Souta was seen clamoring down the steps, breathing rapidly as her mom and grandfather came down stairs after him, their clothes slightly wrinkled, as in they were in a struggle.

The doorbell rang again, while the family members straightened themselves up. Kagome then finally opened the door, and on the door step, stood a young lady with brown eyes and black hair. Wearing a red dress, with a symbol of a dragon curving around the dress as in a spiral, her hair placed up in a semi-bun and with an engagement ring, glinting against the moonlight.

Next to the young lady was a tall man, his sliver hair placed into a braid that stopped right as his bottom, wearing a blue suit, with a black dress shirt.

"Kagome! It's so nice to see you again!" yelled out the young lady as she flung her arms around the teenager. Kagome blinked and then realized that she was being hugged.

"Rin! It's been so long since I've seen you!" Kagome exclaimed as she hugged her cousin. They both let go and smiled at each other. Rin then hugged her grandfather, then her aunt, and then her cousin, who was shifting uneasily as he tugged at his tie every now and then.

Kagome glanced at her cousin's fiancé and then smiled. She took her hand out and he shook it, his eyes somewhat expressionless as she introduced herself. "My name is Kagome. What's your name?" she asked politely.

"My name is Sesshomaru Takashi…" his baritone voice rumbled as he pulled his hand away.

Her mother glanced at Sesshomaru and the smiled and introduced herself to Sesshomaru. Her grandfather looked at the Sesshomaru as he introduced himself to the old man and then the grandfather immediately slapped a sutra charm on him.

"BEGONE DEMON!" he yelled as he started to slap more on Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru blinked at the old man, and slowly started to take off the charms.

"Sir, I'm not a demon…" Sesshomaru calmly said as he handed the sutra charms back to the old man.

The grandfather blinked in surprise. "But the color of your hair! Your eyes! And your markings are just as a demon! How are you not a demon!" he exclaimed, slightly confused.

Sesshomaru sighed. "It's a genetic disorder. I inherited from my mother, who had the same color hair as I did and the same markings. My father has the same eyes. But they were quite human thank you."

The grandfather sweatdropped, "Then you must accept my apologies then."

Sesshomaru nodded, "Apologies accepted sir." He said respectfully.

Grandpa nudged Rin and then whispered in her ear, "I like this man Rin. I hope that you two get married soon!"

Rin blushed bright red, as Sesshomaru, Kagome and Mrs. Hiragishi chuckled.

Mrs. Hiragishi looked around and saw that there were no other people. She bit her lip in confusion. "Didn't you say that your brother-in-law is coming Rin?" she asked.

Rin nodded, "Yeah… He's here. He's trying to get his son out of the car."

"SON!" everyone yelled out as Rin and Sesshomaru covered their ears.

"Yes son… When he was 16, he went to the orphanage for a report, and saw that there was one kid that hasn't been adopted for 5 years. He decided to adopt him, but he wasn't old enough, so Sesshomaru adopted him, but his brother is really the one who adopted him." Rin said.

"Where you guys talking about us?" asked a masculine voice. Everyone looked and saw a teenager scowling, his violet eyes looking at everyone. His black formal jacket slightly wrinkled, and a kid around the age of 6, who was on the teen's right shoulder. He had brownish-orangish hair, his emerald eyes looking at everyone as if observing them. His blue suit looked wrinkled, and his small tie was loose.

Mrs. Hiragishi looked at the young man and smiled. "Nice to meet you! My name is Asami Hiragishi. And yours?" she asked.

The teen smiled. "My name is Inuyasha Takashi," he started off then a squeak came from Kagome.

Inuyasha turned away from Mrs. Hiragishi as he looked at Kagome, his violet eyes looking at her with recognition.

"IT'S YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" they both shouted at the same time.

Everyone in the room looked at them in surprise. The grandfather looked at them, with a raised eyebrow.

"You two… know each other?" asked Sesshomaru with a puzzled look.

"Yes!" they both shouted, still glaring at each other.

"How?" asked Rin. She bit her lip in confusion; it was strange that Inuyasha hadn't told them that he met a girl. Especially after what happened with his previous stalker…

"We bumped into each other when we were going Christmas shopping…" started off Inuyasha.

"But then we went into the same store to find a gift for someone…" continued on Kagome.

"I helped her pay for the gift that she got…" Inuyasha replied.

"And I helped him chose a gift." Kagome finished.

Shippo looked at his father and the girl that his daddy was arguing with. He cocked his head slightly and then asked, "Are you my daddy's girlfriend?"

Inuyasha blushed and placed his son down to explain that he didn't have a girlfriend, while Kagome chocked on her own spit.

"You see Shippo… I met her when I was shopping for gifts for Christmas… She helped me get a gift and I helped her pay for one… We are just…" Inuyasha trailed off, trying to find the right word.

"Friends" finished Kagome. Inuyasha looked at her with gratitude as Souta sniggered at the two's predicament.

Mrs. Hiragishi smiled and then excused herself, saying that she had to prepare the meal. The grandfather looked at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru strangely, and then asked, "If you two are brothers… Why don't you look similar?" he asked.

Inuyasha frowned then appeared once more, as Sesshomaru's frown increased. "You see… We aren't really brothers. I'm Sesshomaru's half brother. My mother had black hair and violet eyes. But I'm told that when I feel a certain emotion, my eyes turn amber like Sessy here." Inuyasha answered as he picked up his son, and started to walk into the house.

"We don't like to talk about it very much…" Sesshomaru trailed off.

Kagome winced, 'Bad move grandpa… Really bad move.'

The grandfather winced, "I'm sorry I brought up the subject boys. Now, why don't you both make yourself comfortable?" he asked as he quickly changed the subject.

Inuyasha smiled and nodded as he walked to the living room of the shrine and sat down on the plush couch.

He set Shippo down next to him. "Here you go Shippo. Now sit still while I take off your tie." Inuyasha said as he slid the tie off. Shippo sighed in relief and then looked at his father a hugged him.

Souta, was watching, and then walked up to Inuyasha, "May Shippo and I play some video games?" he asked.

Inuyasha smirked. "You don't have to be tense around me kid. Sure. Just don't give him too much sugar. He'll go crazy."

Shippo grinned at his father and then jumped out of his seat and ran to Souta's room with Souta who was excitedly talking on what games he had.

Kagome hesitantly walked over to Inuyasha and sat down next to him. Her hands twisting the hem of her dress, as Inuyasha looked at her.

"This… is weird…" Kagome muttered.

Inuyasha smirked. "Well… It depends on your definition of weird Kagome. If you call weird, an unusual meeting, then yes, it is weird."

Kagome chuckled lightly. "Yeah… Wow! You actually used my name once without an insult!" she exclaimed in surprise.

Inuyasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "So… what of it?" he asked.

Kagome sighed, "I think it means that you like me a little bit more now, since you've got to know me!" she said.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Please! Who would like you wench!" he snidely replied.

Kagome glared at him furiously, "What was that you bastard!" she yelled.

Inuyasha smirked, "You heard me… Wench," he smirked at the furious Kagome.

"You… You… BAKA! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" yelled out Kagome, furious at the violet eyed man. She lunged at him her legs straddling his waist and she pounded at his chest.

Inuyasha chuckled, "You know, that's not going to hurt me right?" he snickered.

Kagome furiously kept on beating, "I DON'T CARE!" she shouted as she felt that her arms were getting tired. She collapsed on Inuyasha, her arms hurting from trying to pound Inuyasha into oblivion.

"Ermm… should I come back later?" asked a female voice hesitantly. They both looked up and saw that Rin was blushing a deeper color red as she was backing away slowly.

Then Inuyasha and Kagome looked at the position that they were in. Kagome was straddling Inuyasha's torso and her knee length dress had rode up, when she was pounding him with her fists.

Inuyasha and Kagome jumped back, their faces flushed in embarrassment.

"It's not what you think it is!" Kagome yelled as she started to scoot as far as she can from Inuyasha.

Rin glanced at the two with a mischievous glance. "Sure it isn't…" she smirked.

Inuyasha glared at Rin. "Get your mind out of the gutter Rin! It isn't like that!" he said, then he looked at Rin with a stern gaze, "And don't even think about telling anyone with your big mouth to everyone else…" he growled.

Rin sighed in defeat, "Fine… fine… you win…" she said sadly. Inuyasha smirked in triumph while Kagome giggled.

"But… for me to not tell anyone of this… erhm… 'special moment' you must do something for me." Rin grinned.

Kagome glared at her cousin in hatred. "Damn you Rin… Damn you…."

Inuyasha growled at Rin who was smirking gleefully. "Now I know why Sesshomaru is going to marry you. That bastard is just as crafty as you are."

Rin grinned, "I know, isn't it wonderful!" Both of the teens growled at the happy adult.

"Okay. My condition is that you have to go under every mistletoe that is in this house and kiss under every one of them. All of them, right on the lips." Rin evilly grinned.

Kagome and Inuyasha turned bright red. "You have to be joking Rin!" wailed Kagome.

"There is no way that I'm kissing that wench!" yelled Inuyasha furiously.

Rin shrugged, "Okay then… I guess Sesshomaru will be glad to hear that you finally have a girlfriend…" she teased.

Inuyasha and Kagome's eyes widened. "You have to be kidding Rin!" they both yelled.

Rin smirked. "Nope… Unless you want me to tell, I'd do it right now…" she warned.

"Fine… How many mistletoes are in this shrine anyways?" Inuyasha grumbled.

Kagome froze up at that question. "Well…." she muttered as she scratched her head.

"Well… What!" Inuyasha yelled, not liking the tone of her voice.

"Well… Let's just say that there are over… fifteen mistletoes?" Kagome squeaked quietly.

"WWWHHHHAAATTT!"

Sesshomaru looked up from skinning some potatoes as he heard a loud yell. "What was that?" he muttered.

Mrs. Hiragishi shrugged as she went back to crushing some of the herbs. "I have no idea… But I think it's not a big deal. Your brother is such a gentleman I think he won't stir up any trouble."

Sesshomaru smiled and nodded, 'You have no idea how much trouble he can cause… you have no idea…'

He sighed and went back to the potatoes.

Inuyasha glared at the cringing Kagome. "You have to be joking!" he yelled, "What kind of idiot would put up over 15 mistletoes!" he asked exasperated.

Rin smirked, "Grandpa .He believes that if you put mistletoes they will give you good luck. But, he doesn't know that under every single mistletoe you have to kiss." Rin smirked as she winked at the blushing pair.

"God… What kind of family am I going to be related too!" Inuyasha complained as he was dragged by Rin, who was dragging Kagome at the same time.

"Well… Technically Yashi, you aren't really related to them…" Rin trailed off, smiling happily.

Inuyasha sighed and glared at Kagome, "Tell your grandfather, that the mistletoe is used for kissing not for good luck!" he stressed out.

Kagome stuck her tongue out, "Well, why don't you tell him yourself… Little Yashi…"

Inuyasha growled, "Why… you little wench!" he yelled out as he tried to tackle her.

Rin's hand that was dragging him by the arm tightened her grip as she continued to walk to the front door mistletoe. "Don't you dare Inuyasha…I could tell Fluffy about that little incident happened to his favorite boa…" she warned.

Inuyasha abruptly shut his mouth and continued to be dragged to the front door.

Kagome looked at her cousin, puzzled. "What do you mean 'little incident happened to his favorite boa'?" she asked.

Rin giggled, "I'll tell you later, but anyways, we're here!" she exclaimed happily.

Inuyasha sighed and looked up. The accursed twig hung cheerfully from the doorway. "Might as well get it done and over with."

Kagome flushed a deep red. "But Rin, we barely know each other!" she exclaimed as she tried to convince her cousin to abandon this ridiculous scheme.

"You are right Kagome…" muttered Rin as she let go of the couple.

Inuyasha and Kagome sighed in relief. "Good." Inuyasha muttered.

"But… On Christmas Eve, when Inuyasha comes over, you guys have to kiss beneath one mistletoe." Rin said content that she had another deal planned out.

Inuyasha groaned in defeat, "Fine Rin. It's a deal…. Just please don't tell Fluffly about this!"

"About what little brother?" asked a stoic voice.

Rin turned around and smiled, as she saw her fiancé standing behind them, wiping his hands on a dishrag.

"Oh nothing! Noting happened!" squeaked Kagome as she started to back away from Sesshomaru who was raising his eyebrow at the two teens.

"Fine. I just wanted to tell you all that dinner's about to be served, all we need to do is get Souta, Mr. Hiragishi (grandfather) and Shippo, and also set the table." Sesshomaru said as draped the dishrag over his shoulder.

Kagome and Inuyasha nodded, "Fine, I'll get everyone else, and the wench can set the dishes." Inuyasha replied as she started to walk away.

"HEY! Who do you think you are ordering around, and calling me a wench!" yelled Kagome furiously.

Inuyasha smirked, "I'm sorry, I have seemed to forgotten your name…"

Kagome growled angrily and him and stomped off to set the table as she muttered a few curse words under her breath in any langue she knew.

Inuyasha's smirk grew as he saw Kagome stomp off, and thought to himself, 'Inuyasha – 1, Kagome – 0!'

Rin and Sesshomaru blinked him surprise as they both watched the two people walk away. "Isn't that sweet Sessy-kun! They like each other!" Rin cooed.

Sesshomaru resisted rolling his eyes when his soon- to- be- wife cooed. "Hon, how can they like each other if their always arguing!" he asked.

Rin smirked, "Well, isn't this how we started off this way Sessy-kun?" she asked cutely while snuggled to him, and traced his chest with her pointer finger.

Sesshomaru kissed her head softly and murmured against it,"Yeah… although the meeting was at a business meeting."

Rin smiled, "Yeah… And the circumstances were slightly different then." She kissed the bottom of his jaw lightly and pushed away unwillingly.

"We have to go to the dinning room before Inuyasha sees us like this…" she muttered. Sesshomaru nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely. I'm getting sick and tired of Inuyasha trying to blackmail me." He grumbled, annoyed at his little brother's interruptions and attempted blackmails.

They both walked to the dinning room, softly talking and holding hands.

Inuyasha looked around, and bit his lip. "Damn… I should've asked the wench for directions before she left to set the table…" he muttered as he started to open a door to a room.

He opened it and peered inside it, the walls were painted a baby blue color, with purple blots covering occasionally, as if the person who painted the room decided to splatter purple paint. The bed was in the corner of the room, near the window, with white sheets and stuffed animal sitting next to the pillow.

He also noticed a desk near the bed, on the opposite wall. It was an oak desk, covered with papers, books, and a laptop. Inuyasha walked to the desk and saw that the books were study books. Mostly all the books had something that had to do with math.

There was a picture, faced down as in if the owner of the room didn't want to see the picture anymore. Inuyasha, curiously picked up the frame and froze, his violet eyes widen in shock and surprise.

"This must've been Kagome's dad…" he muttered as he held the picture frame in his hand gently.

The picture was a little girl on the swings, with a baby in her arms, with a man with black hair and grayish-brownish eyes, his hands on the young girl's shoulder.

Inuyasha blinked for a moment, and put the photo down. "Damn… I still have to find Shippo and Souta…" he muttered as he raced out of the room and closed the door.

He didn't notice something that was white sticking out of the back of the frame, fluttering every now and then.

"YEES!" a high pitched scream was heard from Shippo, as he did his victory dance around the room.

Souta groaned and slammed his controller down, disappointed. He let out a small laugh as he saw his new friend had started to do some strange dance moves.

Shippo soon joined in the laugher, as the two boys laughed, for no good reason at all.

As soon as the laughter died down, Shippo looked at Souta, "Do you want to play another game before dinner starts?" he asked.

Souta nodded, but then smirked, "But this time, I get your controller."

"Fine… But I'll still beat you!" Shippo exclaimed as he grabbed Souta's controller and they shoved the game into the PS-2 and started to pick the characters that they wanted to play.

As they were doing that, the door opened, and Inuyasha's head peered in. "Come on you guys, it's time for dinner, and the stupid girl is setting the tables. I also have to get the old geezer as well." he muttered to himself.

Shippo grinned at the sight of Inuyasha opening the door wider to let the boys out of the room. Souta nodded as he exited out of the game and took out the game from its spot on the PS-2.

He dashed out of the room to catch up with the smiling Shippo. Inuyasha smiled as the two boys challenged a race to see who would get to dinner the fastest.

Inuyasha remembered with his father was alive, and he and Sesshomaru would race down the stairs to see who was the fastest. He and Sesshomaru would do that all the time… until their father died. Inuyasha shook his head rapidly as he walked down the stairs.

He then saw that Souta and Shippo were in a dog pile, laughing joyfully as they looked at each other. Inuyasha's eyebrow quirked up, as he looked at the two boys. He chuckled and grabbed Shippo first, and placed him on his shoulder, and squatted down.

"Come on, get on my back Souta. Let's hurry and get the old man before dinner starts." Inuyasha said as he smiled as the boy climbed on his back.

Inuyasha stood up carefully, being careful not to drop any of the boys. "Well then let's go find your grandfather…" he said as he started off.

Souta then tapped him on the shoulder, "Umm… Takashi-san-"

"Call me Inuyasha. I'm not that old." Inuyasha chuckled as he continued walking.

"Well… Inuyasha, do you know that we're going to wrong way?" he asked timidly.

Inuyasha reluctantly turned around as he nervously chuckled. "I knew that…." He muttered.

'Damn… maybe I should've asked for directions from that wench after all…' he though bitterly as they continued to look for the old man.

Kagome muttered some curses as she peered back and saw that Inuyasha was gone to get Souta, Shippo and Grandpa. So, she stomped back into the kitchen and grabbed some of her mother's best china dishes and silverware, scowled and went to the dinning room to set up the plates and eating utensils.

"Chikushou… I can't believe he ordered me around like that… That baka actually told me what to do in my own house!!" she exclaimed furiously as she set down the china plate for each seat and placed the forks next to them neatly. She turned the glasses upright, and was fuming angrily at the same time.

"That… that… that infuriating baka!" Kagome muttered. She got some napkins from the kitchen and soon placed a napkin on everyone's china plate.

"MOM! IS DINNER READY?" she yelled as she saw her mother go back into the kitchen to check on the duck that was going to served as the main course.

"The duck is ready! Why don't you bring out the mash potatoes and some of the bread?" Mrs. Hiragishi asked as she pulled on some of her oven mittens and pulled out the duck.

Kagome sighed, "Fine mom! I'll get the mash potatoes and the bread!" she yelled out.

Kagome walked to the kitchen and got the two bowls that contained the mash potatoes and set them down on the two sides of the table. Then she got the bread that was in a huge woven basket that also had some containers of butter that you would find in a buffet. Kagome placed it near the middle of the table.

"I got it mom!" Kagome yelled as she walked back to the living room, sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. She flipped the channel to the news and sat there, watching it until her mother got the duck set.

"I wonder how Inuyasha no baka is faring with Souta and Grandpa…" Kagome wondered out loud, curious on how he was faring.

"OOOIIII! WHERE IS THE OJISAN?" Inuyasha yelled impatiently at the boy on his back.

"Well… He's not in his usual hangouts… He might be inside the well house." Souta thought thoughtfully.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me that he might be in the well house in the first place?" Inuyasha groaned.

Souta gulped as Inuyasha set him down, "Well… The well house isn't exactly what we call a friendly place. We don't go there unless we really have to. In Grandpa's case, he likes to go there, as he would say it, demons might come out and bite you!" Souta imitated.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Don't tell me… You grandfather is the shrine priest in this shrine."

Souta nodded, "Yeah… ever since he was 13, he believed in demons. When he turned 26, he became the priest of this shrine."

Inuyasha blinked in surprise, "How do you know all this?" he asked, confused on how a boy like Souta would know anything about his grandfather's past.

"When I finished my home work, and dinner hadn't started yet, mom would force me to listen through the suffering of grandpa's stories." Souta replied off handily as he grabbed Inuyasha's hand and dragged him to the direction of the well house.

Shippo however didn't hear a word, and kept on sleeping peacefully on his 'father's' shoulder.

"So, this is the well house?" asked Inuyasha as he looked at the well house, with his lips pursed together, as in studying it.

It looked like a run down hut, to be honest. It didn't look like it was kept well as the house. There was some mold growing on the sides, the wood was slightly decaying, and the pale jade looking roof looked like it was going to crumble down on them any second.

"Yep… Kagome accidentally fell into the well once when she tried to show the tourists that come here every now and then that the well isn't dangerous as it says. She suffered a concussion after that, and stayed in the hospital for 3 days. She was fine after that." Souta said as he looked at the well house warily.

Inuyasha sighed and headed in after he set Shippo down into Souta's arms. He climbed the moss covered steps and cautiously looked in the well house.

He walked in, "Hello! Kagome's grandfather? Are you in here?" he asked as he looked around. He stopped and glanced at the grey-stoned well.

"This… well… it seems… familiar to me…' Inuyasha thought surprised, as he walked down some wooden steps into the area with the well.

He touched it attentively and saw that the well was blocked with boards and ofudas. When he was about to take his hand away from the well, his eye sight suddenly went black, as he fell forward, onto the dirt.

He saw darkness… more darkness. Just then a streak of light had shone, and Inuyasha reached for that light. When he got to it, he saw that he was in a different place.

There were trees everywhere, and flowers nearby the well. He looked around, confused. Inuyasha tried looking for the house that he was visiting, but then saw only trees and a pathway near by.

He stood up, brushed the dirt from his pants, and started to follow the pathway. He took a glance of his surroundings, and saw that there were just birds, flowers, trees, and herbs everywhere.

He soon got closer, and saw that there was smoke coming from the distance. 'If there is smoke… then there must be people nearby here!' Inuyasha thought excitedly as he started to run to the smoke. Then he saw a girl in a school uniform walking down the pathway to the well, her hands were griping onto the handles of her bike as she huffed and muttered curses every now and then.

"HEY! GIRL! DO YOU KNOW WHERE I AM!" he shouted as he saw that the girl didn't stop to look at him, nor to say hi. The girl kept on walking, her face still downcast. She then looked up and his eyes widen.

The girl that was walking down the pathway looked exactly like Hiraghshi Kagome. He then saw, a teenager, around the age of 16-19 stop the girl.

"Where are you going wench!" the guy yelled. The guy's clothes where certainly strange, Inuyasha thought as he observed them. The guy had amber eyes like his brother, but the guy had dog ears, and his clothes weren't from the 21st century.

"For your information Inuyasha, I'm going home! So, OSUWARI!" yelled out the girl.

Inuyasha bit his lip in surprise, as he saw the teen boy, slam down into the ground. "Damn it… That hurt!" the teen complained, "Damn you bitch!" he grumbled.

The girl turned the other way and went to the well. She hopped into it, and her bicycle was leaning against the well.

"Damn… I wish… I wish…." The teen boy muttered as he stood up. He rolled up his hands into a fist, "I wish that I'd keep my big moth shut and tell Kagome that I love her…" he muttered as he walked away, sulking.

Inuyasha blinked in surprise, just then he heard a voice calling out to him.

"INUYASHA! WAKE UP!" he heard, just then a blinding light appeared and he opened his eyes.

He looked around in surprise. "Where am I?" he grumbled.

Souta sighed in relief, "Good. I thought that you were unconscious for a moment." Souta shifted Shippo to another arms as he helped Inuyasha up and Inuyasha brushed the dirt off of his clothes.

Inuyasha ran his hand through his hair, "At least we know the old geezer isn't here."

Souta nodded, "Yeah… I wonder though… where can grandpa be?"

They all came out of the broken down well house, and went inside the house, wondering on how many places can an old man hide.

Kagome yawned as she craned her neck to the kitchen. Her mother, Rin and Sesshomaru were setting the preparations up and to set everything in the right place.

"Are you almost done with the preparations mom!" Kagome asked as she looked at the dinning room table and saw that everything was set.

"Yes dear we got everything set! So please call down Inuyasha, Shippo, Souta and Grandpa!" her mother exclaimed as she washed her hands and wiped them on her apron.

Kagome nodded and was about to jump out of her seat on the couch, when she heard a faint snoring. She noticed it was coming from the couch next to her. She peered onto the next couch and sweatdropped.

It was her grandfather, lying on the couch, snoring away, peacefully. Kagome groaned and went to the other couch. She squatted and looked at her grandfather, and then poked him. "Grandpa… Grandpa… It's TIME TO WAKE UP!" she shouted.

"ACCK!" screamed the grandfather in surprise as he was yelled at. He saw that his granddaughter had sat up and smoothed out her dress.

"Come on Grandpa, it's time for dinner to start." Kagome said as she helped her grandfather up.

Just then, three males came in through the door. One of them was holding a sleeping kid, and the other one had a furious expression on his face.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!"
