o.o Inuyasha says: THAT WELL BETTER GET FIXED SOME KIND OF QUICK!!! DON'T MAKE ME DRAG YOU OUT OF THAT CHAIR, SATURN!!!!

....omg...even my inu face has turned on me....

Hotaru sighed as she turned off the last lamp in her dark room. 'This day was just...overwhelming!' She thought as she dropped onto her bed, drained of all energy. Her and her gaurdians had returned home only an hour earlier, after talking, (and yelling on Amira's part to Inuyasha) to Inuyasha and Kagome.

She recalled that conversation all too well. Trista telling the other three of them to leave, that they would return in the morning and they would open a temporary portal; and Inuyasha's outburst. 'How does Kagome deal with him? If I had someone telling me I couldn't go home, I'd probably leave and never return...but, in the past I was never real eager to return home....'

Try living where you are not allowed to leave; where no one is there to talk to you, to comfort you, and to fight alongside you.

"Mikomi? That you?"

The tranparent form of the elder Saturn appeared on the foot of Hotaru's bed. Yes, it is me.

Hotaru exhaled deeply. "Could I ask your opinion about something? Something's been on my mind recently, do you mind?"

Not at all, its not like I'm going anywhere, after all.

"Well, we're leaving tomorrow, going to the past. About 500 years from what Kagome told us. Do you...know anything about what happened back then? Kagome spoke of a very deadly demon they are fighting, are they going to be okay in the past?"

Mikomi sighed. Hotaru, I am the soldier of death, not time. The only person who knows the clear details of the past is Sailor Pluto. But, while I know nothing of the actual events, I do know however, the death rate of that time period. The spirit's eyes grew dark. I will not lie to you, Hotaru, what you will see in that time is unlike anything you have ever experainced; there will be death and destruction all around you. Strong beings called demons roam that era, and most of them are not fond of humans so much that they have 'hunting games' with the innocent as their prey.

The girl's eyes widened in shocklike horror at that information. "So thats why...before....you said you were going to kill Inuyasha. Because you thought that he...was one of those demons."

The spirit nodded solemnly. But you stopped me, told me that not all demons are out for human blood...a select few MIGHT be something other than cold-hearted monsters.

Hotaru nodded as she glanced at her backpack, which was emptied of her schoolwork and replaced with clothing and other items she would need in the past. "But, we musn't keep our guard down; who knows what awaits us there."

Kagome sighed as she sat up in bed. Sleep was not going to come easy with all the thoughts running through her head. From the other side of the room, Inuyasha looked up from his crotched position: once again he insisted on staying in Kagome's room, and he was suprised when she didn't protest. The miko frowned as she remembered that look he gave her when he asked (or asked in Inuyasha's opinon, to anyone else it would be a statement boarding on a demand.) 'He'll never admit it, but the well being gone really struck him. The poor guy, the only link to his home is now gone. He's scared.' Fresh guilt and the urge to just hug the guy washed over her again. "Inuyasha?"

The said hanyou locked his faraway gaze with hers. "What is it?" He said, almost harshly.

"Are you alright?" The girl asked worriedly.

"Feh! Of course I am!" Inuyasha said snappishly. He really didn't mean to sound so bad, but he was trying to sound convincing! He had to sound cold and uncaring!

Too bad Kagome didn't buy it. With a forced smile, she laid back down and laid on her side, facing the brooding hanyou. "Inuyasha. It will be okay, you have to tell yourself that."

Growling, the silver-haired teen rose to his feet and walked to the bed. "How can you say that, Kagome? The well is gone. Gone! Naraku is running around back there doing who-knows-what and getting all the remaining jewel peices! And what do you think is going to happen when he finds them all? All of them but yours of course?"

Instantly, he knew he had gone too far. The awful smell of salt wafted into his nose and his ears drooped. "Kagome. Don't cry....please...."

The girl glared through her tears. "I'm not a faucet, Inuyasha." She sniffled. "I can't just st-st-stop!" She forced out before she began sobbing. "Don't you think I know what's going to happen?" The bed drooped as Inuyasha sat on it. Instantly, Kagome found his shoulder and releaved herself of her saddened emotions. Slowly, as Inuyasha leaned his head on her heaving shoulders and carefully wrapped her in a hug her sobs disappeared. Silently, the hanyou thanked the gods that he remembered his mother enough to know the correct way to comfort someone.

As the red-eyed Kagome looked up at the silent Inuyasha, another pang of guilt struck her. "Inuyasha?"

"Hmm?"

"I....know its got to be hard...for you. You don't have to hide your feelings from me." Slowly, she wiped her eyes and smiled-it was a forced smile, but a smile all the same. "We have a big day tomorrow, we should try to sleep."

Inuyasha nodded before standing, only to have his hand be grabbed by a smaller one. Bewildered, he looked at the figgeting girl. "What is it Kagome?"

"Don't....leave me...I'm scared enough for the others as it is..." With her other hand, she turned back a portion of the covers. "Just don't do anything funny....please?"

"Keh! Who do you take me for? Miroku?" Inuyasha demanded as he released the girl's hand. He smelt the fear and rejection and smirked before getting in beside the girl. "I'll keep my hands where they belong."

Kagome smiled as she got comfortable. "Thanks Inu."

'Inu?' Inuyasha thought to himself as the deep breaths beside him became more and more relaxed. 'No one's called me that before...' He mused before the dream world took him away.

A/N THIS IS NOT A LEMON!!! YOU PEOPLE GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTERS!!! I KNOW THEY'RE THERE!!! GET 'IM OUT!!!

As the sun rose at the Higurashi shrine, four figures could be seen slowly walking up the steps. To the passeersby, if there were any, it would have been a strange sight. Each one of the four were carrying backpacks on their backs, as if they were going on a camping trip; though the nearest campsite was miles away. Still, the group marched towards the shrine as if that was their destination.

The youngest of the four, who was dressed in jeans and a purple shirt, smiled to herself as she glanced at the pouting blonde ahead of her. Her grin due to remembering the scene that very morning between the blonde and blue-haired girls.

"Why can't I take it?!"

"Because it will just cause unwanted attention and might disrupt the future!"

"But how are we going to get around without it?"

"We will manage, I expect."

"But..."

"I said you are NOT TAKING YOUR MOTORCYCLE!!! Have a made myself CLEAR?!"

Thus the soldier of the wind was without her bike. And she was not in a good mood. She turned and glared at the smaller soldier of death as a small giggle escaped the child's lips. "What's so funny?!" She demanded as the four reached the top of the huge staircase.

"You're late." A rough new voice growled. Amira's head snapped back around with such force that the trees themselves trembled. Her glare matched only by Inuyasha's, who was up before the sun, standing and waiting.

Kagome quickly darted between the two, in order to keep a fight from breaking out. Though it was not too early for a 'sit' as Inuyasha soon learned as he reaquianted himself with the concrete ground.

As Amira stopped and snickered at the fallen hanyou, Trista remained at her gait. There was little time, and no time whatsoever for horseplay. She walked over to where the well house once stood and pulled out a small pocketwatch. The strange thing about this watch was that there was only one hand and it pointed at random directions. Using the watch as a compass, she walked laps around the small area until the hand began to spin rapidly. "I found it! This is the exact spot where the time portal was once open!"

She looked over to the argueing couple again, they were screaming so loud, that Kagome's family was looking out of the window at them. Trista sighed. "HEY!!!"

Hotaru and Kagome looked over to the frustrated Trista. "Are you guys going to the past today?!"

After twenty minutes of untangling the now-fighting couple, the group stood in a circle around the senshi of time.

"Okay Trista, we're ready, are you going to take us to the gate of time now?" Michelle asked.

Trista shook her head. "Not this time. We're taking a direct route to the feudal era. It'll be much easier to get to the exact time by following the thread through time that the portal used to take. Not to mention this way we'll get there faster."

Amira nodded. "Just tell us what you want us to do."

Trista took a deep breath. "Well, this will take alot of energy to open, so Kagome and Inuyasha, stand back, The rest of us will focus our powers on this point, and when there is enough energy, I will use my garnet rod to open a portal that all of us will jump through. Got it?"

Inuyasha looked like he wanted to protest having to 'stand back,' but a cold look from Kagome kept his mouth shut. So he grunted, obviously peeved.

After a little moving, the four senshi stood in a circle around where the portal was supposed to form, with a nod from Trista, the girls began to focus on thier inner strength.

'Powers of the wind, I call on you.'

'Powers of the sea, I besech thee.'

'Powers over life and death, strenghen me.'

'Powers over time and space, come to me.'

As the four scouts focused thier power, they glowed with colored auras that reflected the awesome power that was building up inside them. As one, they snapped thier eyes open and prepared.

"URANUS PLANET POWER!!!"

"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!!!"

"SATURN PLANET POWER!!!"

"PLUTO PLANET POWER!!!"

Kagome was forced to shield her eyes from the tremendous light that erupted from the four as they transformed. It was all she could do to make out the outline of Sailor Pluto as she brought up her garnet rod and slammed its point onto the ground.

"Cronos, open the way for us, OPEN THE WAY TO THE PAST!!"

As the Earth beneath them trembled, a huge pink beam of light shot from the ground. 'Its just like the light inside the well...' Kagome thought as Inuyasha grabbed her by the arm.

"Let's go!" He said as he pulled her into the portal with the others, into the portal that would take them back to his time.

Ends Chapter.
