Last Time:

"Well, I'm going to go tell Koenma where you guys are going, so he knows." Kuwabara said. The rest nodded and left to go to the feudal era.

This Time:

Kagome, Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke jumped through the Bone Eaters Well. In a matter of seconds, they had reached Sengoku Jidai.

"We'll have to wait for my friends, Sango and Miroku, as well as my kit, Shippou, to get here," said Kagome, as she sat on the well's rim.

"You have a mate, Kagome-san?" asked Kurama, a bit surprised. He stood in front of Kagome, as well as Hiei and Yusuke.

Kagome laughed nervously. "I-iie, Kurama-kun. I adopted him, since his parents died and now he is an orphan. He should experience a mother's love."

"Hai, he should."

Hiei snorted at that. "What's so special about a mother's love?" His voice dripped with hatred. "What would a mother's love do for you?"

Yusuke kept silent. He may have not really experienced a mother's love, but he does have a mother.

Kagome looked at him, strangely. "A mother's love is something special, Hiei-kun. It's where you could at least know-"

"Don't finish," replied Hiei. He jumped to the highest tree, nearest to where they were waiting.

Kagome looked worried, and she looked down sadly. "Is it something I said?"

Kurama placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "Iie, it's because of when he was little."

Kagome looked surprised. "What happened? I want to know, Kurama-kun. I want to know how Hiei feels." Her eyes softened from her cheerful expression. A frown replaced a smile.

"Okaa-san!" shouted Shippou, as he jumped into Kagome's arms. "I missed you!"

Kagome hugged the little kit in her arms. "Shippou-chan, I missed you too!"

Shippou then noticed the two boys next to Kagome and glared at them. "Who are they, okaa-san?"

Kagome giggled at her little Shippou, thinking how cute he was protecting her. "These are my friends. Kurama-kun…" She gestured to Kurama. "Yusuke-kun…" She then gestured to Yusuke. "And, last but not least, Hiei-kun…" She looked at Hiei and smiled, despite the fact he was way up high in a tree.

The replies were "Hello", "Yo!", and "Hn".

Shippou tilted his head. "Demo, okaa-san, are you sure we can trust them?"

"I sense nothing wrong with them," said Kagome.

"One day, okaa-san, your trust is going to get you killed."

"You're sounding like Inuyasha now, Shippou."

Shippou glared at her.

"Kagome, get down!" shouted Sango from far off.

"Nani!" She ducked, as an oversized boomerang made its way above her, heading towards Kurama and Yusuke.

Yusuke and Kurama jumped out of the boomerang's path; but sadly, it made it was making its way back.

"Whoa! What the hell!" shouted Yusuke. He pointed his index finger out, pointing towards the boomerang.

"Spirit Gun!"

A fairly large blue orb shot towards the boomerang.

"Wind Tunnel!"

The blue orb was redirected towards a tree, blowing the tree up with other unfortunate ones.

The large boomerang was caught by a woman in a outdoor kimono. "Kagome-chan, hurry and get over here!" The woman never took her eyes off the strangers. Until, a katana was pressed against her neck.

Sango's eyes widened. "Don't throw that boomerang of yours again, if you value your life." She had been brought back a bit because the person was shorter than her.

Miroku looked at the one holding his Sango in hostange. He meant Sango, not his. "Youkai, let Sango-san go."

"Stop!" shouted Kagome. "Sango-chan, Miroku-sama, please, they are not evil. They are friends of mine from my time."

"Hiei-kun, please let go of Sango-chan," said Kagome.

Hiei removed his katana and replaced it in its sheath, and he had placed himself next to Kurama, not feeling all too comfortable where he was previously.

"Kagome-chan, they all have youki in them," said Sango. "Demons or not, are you sure they are trustworthy?"

Miroku's hand place itself on Sango's shoulder. "Let it go, Sango-san. I think, it's best if we let Kagome have it her way right now. After all, she knows them better than we do. And, if they hurt Kagome-sama in a way, we will be the ones to punish them."

Sango looked at Miroku, knowing what he said makes sense. "Okay…"

"Didn't Inuyasha tell you guys that I was bringing some people here?" Kagome asked. They both shook their heads.

"Grr... wait until Inuyasha gets here. I'm going to sit him to hell." Kagome muttered to herself.

Miroku finally noticed Kurama, thinking he was a woman. A very pretty woman indeed. "Oh, how rude of me…" Miroku said, as he approached Kurama.

Kurama looked at him and smiled. "Hello…" Miroku clasped Kurama's hands with his.

"My fair maiden…" Kurama's eyes twitched. Was he another guy to think he was a girl? Was he going to ask him out? Kurama did not feel horrified, at first, since many guys asked him out… gay or not.

"Will you bear my child?" Now, Kurama felt horrified. Snickers were heard, especially from Hiei and Yusuke.

His answer… a roundhouse kick and a slap.

"Baka houshi-sama."

"It was worth it," Miroku said, as he fell unconscious.

"Never in my life was I asked that, until now," said Kurama, afraid of the monk. His face crimson.

Yusuke rolled, literally, on the ground laughing his head off. Hiei would have, but he did in his mind. That was such a priceless scene.

"Why are they laughing, Kagome-chan?" asked Sango. "Is not your friend a she?"

Kagome did her best not to laugh but settled for a small chuckle. "Sango-chan, my friend is a he."

Sango's eyes widened and made an "O" sound. She looked at Kurama, apologetically. "I apologize for Houshi-sama's action. Though, once hearing this, he will certainly feel disgusted with himself."

"It is alright, miss," said Kurama, still embarrassed from the event.

"Kagome-san, I think, you should introduce us to your friends."

Kagome mentally slapped herself and made a nervous laugh. "Gomen nasai. Well, this is Sango-chan, minna. The houshi over there is Miroku, and you already know who Shippou is."

"Hello."

"Hi!"

Kagome looked over to where Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei were. "Alright, the one in all green is Yusuke-kun."

"Yo!" said Yusuke, as he give a smirk.

"The one in all black is Hiei-kun."

"Hn," Hiei said, for his introductory. His eyes glaring at everyone.

"And, of course, we cannot forget about Kurama."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," said Kurama, as he bowed in respect.

Sango nodded. As if one cue, Inuyasha came to scene. "Oi! What's taking so long!" Inuyasha asked, rudely.

Kagome glared at him. "Inuyasha…" Her voice oh so sweet and angelic. Yusuke knew that voice. That one voice Keiko used on him and then… he shuddered not wanting to remember the scene.

"Feh. What, bitch?"

"Osuwari! That's for calling me bitch! Osuwari! That's for not telling Sango, Miroku, or Shippou that I am bringing some company over! Osuwari! And this is because you are so rude!" The detectives winced, as each time Kagome shouted "sit". They pitied the inu hanyou not really.

Kagome changed to her happy, cheerful mood. The three detectives thoughts were, "I think women have quick mood swings now."

"Alright, let's head to Kaede's hut to rest!" said Kagome, in her cheerful tone. Sango and Shippo dragged Miroku, following the three strangers and Kagome, leaving the twitching Inuyasha behind.
