Kagome smiled as she walked up to Ian, Mark and Sandy, gently setting the duffle bag down and then tossing her back pack aside. They had gone to the small park that was only a block from the orphanage. It worked well, as it was never busy today. It was Sunday, meaning she had no school.

But why is she in her school uniform? Ian thought, confused. She likes that thing too much…if my dreams are right, she use to wear that thing all the time. That was the problem with his mind right now: He didn't have his memories. All he had was dreams, and vague images. As such, much of his past was left to Kagome to fill…and even that she could do only bits and pieces.

I guess Sandy and Mark will be that way too. I wonder if they will adapt as well as I did. Heck...I'm an all powerful hanyou…or was…so it's easier for me. But…they are weak humans. All humans are weak though…and they are the strongest of the weak…geez, maybe Kagome was right. Maybe I didn't think at all back then.

"Hi guys!" Kagome said, smiling as she looked at the two teens. "And you too Ian." She kissed him on the cheek and smiled as he blushed.

"Kagome…not in front of Sango and Miroku!" Ian/Inuyasha grunted.

"Sandy and Mark." Sandy replied. "I personally haven't accepted any of this…I'm just…curious..that's all!" Sandy said, rushing the last lines. Kagome wasn't sure who she was trying to convince.

Mark agreed, but Kagome paid no heed as she took out the two items. One was a small book which she threw to Mark, who fumbled it. He glanced at the cover, frowning to himself.

"Buddhist Teachings?" He glanced at her. "Gee, I told you I was a monk, so you got me a monk book." He scoffed slightly. "Why did I agree to this?"

"First off, I told YOU that you were a monk. Second, just read it. I marked some passages that I know you use to quote."

"Doubt I ever said them." Mark grumbled, but a stern look from Ian made him change his mind and get to reading. For Sandy, she pulled out a small wooden boomerang.

Ian/Inuyasha smacked his hand against his forehead and muttered in frustration.

Sandy inspected the little toy, a frown slowly forming on her face, her brow creased in thought. "It's…." Ian/Inuyasha waited for it.

'Too small! Too stupid! Too cheap'! He resisted a growl. 'You better be glad I don't have claws like Kagome says I use to have…or I would tear you in half for insulting her gifts to you. But….why a boomerang?'

"…to small." Sandy said, her eyes fixed on the boomerang. "It…should be bigger." She seemed in a trance. "Heavier."

"Just try it…I couldn't find big youkai bone boomerangs around here." Kagome said with a smile. Sandy nodded absent mindedly, and got to work, trying to find the balance on the child's toy. Kagome merely stepped back and stroked Ianshoulder. He smirked and watched Sandy go run after the toy. He would never have thought that the 'princess' could actually run in the grass. Since he had known her, she didn't like to play outside.

"Ian?" Kagome asked. 'YOU ok…you seem a bit out of it."

He shrugged. "Thinking." Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Shut up."

Kagome laughed, and the two fell into watching Sandy use the boomerang, rapidly finding the way to twirl the thing.

'It seems certain things are imprinted in our souls. Inuyasha remembers how to swordfight… 'She chuckled at her shock after she had finally gotten him to try to use the wooden sword, only for him to remember all his moves. '…I could shoot those purifying arrows, and Sandy remembers her boomerang fighting. I guess Mark…'

"Ok, I am done." Mark said, tossing the book away. "That did nothing for me. I mean, sure, it's interesting, but it isn't something that makes me go, 'Oh, this crazy girl is right.' I'm going back inside."

Ian/Inuyasha growled and stepped in front of the teen. "You watch you mouth."

Mark raised an eyebrow. "You can stay here and get swept up in this little story…but I am out of here."

"WAIT!" kagome said, grabbing his hands. "I have another thing you might remember!"

Mark looked at her, and even Sandy stopped throwing her boomerang to glance at them, coming closer. "What is that?" mark asked

"These." Kagome said, pulled his hands onto her breasts.

Everyone's jaws dropped.

"Remember these Miroku?" Kagome said with a grin, making him squeeze her.

"What are you…." He paused, a familiar smile on his face, but he instantly broke away. "Are you crazy!"

Kagome slapped her head. "Stupid me." The three sighed "You preferred Sango." With that, Kagome took his hand and planted it firmly on Sandy's ass. Mark's eyes went wide…as his hand squeezed on it's own.

"HENTAI!" Sandy screamed, hitting him with her boomerang. "Lecherous…"

Mark and Sandy looked at each other, saying the same thing. "…monk."

Mark rubbed his head and looked at Kagome. "….ok, that I remember all too well." He sighed and looked at his hand. "Traitor."

"Uh…Kagome?" Inuyasha said. "Your bag is moving."

Kagome chuckled as she watched the duffel move back and forth, wiggling rapidly. She unzipped it, and Shippo burst out, gasping for breath.

"It stinks in there!" Sandy and Mark looked at the little kitsune in shock. He looked at them, his eyes filled with tears. "Sango! Miroku!" He leapt and latched himself to Mark's leg.

"AA!" mark screamed, trying to get free. "What is it!"

"IT is Shippo!" Ian said. "A rather annoying friend of ours."

"I am not annoying!"

"Are so?"

"ARE NOT!"

Mark looked at Kagome. "are they…always like this?" She nodded. "and did I…grab Sand…Sango like that a lot?" Another nod. "Why couldn't I have been normal?" he said with a sigh, watching the kitsune grab him harder.

"Meow!"

Every turned as the fire cat slowly crawled out of the bag, wiggling her body to get rid of the tension.

"And that is…" Kagome began.

"Kirara." Sandy said, her voice very quiet, her hands trembling as she watched the neko demon. They all stared as she knelt down, looking at the feline, tears in her eyes. "I…remember you Kirara…you were always with me…in my dreams…"

Kirara looked at her, confused. Sandy smiled hopefully, offering her hand to the cat. Kirara walked up, and sniffed Sandy's fingers. After being slightly repeled by her nail polish and the scent it left…She leapt into the 'princess's' arms. Sandy gently scratched Kirara's ears, smiling.

"so…I guess you guys accept what I was telling you?" kagoem asked.

"…yea" The two of them said, deep in thought.

"Kagome!"

Kagome turned to see Dr. Christan waving at her. She waved back and turned to her friends….'My friends.' She thought with a smile. 'I guess I can call them that. '

"I am going to say hit to Dr. Christan." She said. The 5 nodded and she ran off to talk to her doctor. She was smiling, feeling lighter then air.

But Dr. Chrsitan's face made her suddenly sink.

"Dr. Christan?" She asked the man. "What's wrong?"

He looked out at her friends. "I just wanted to tell you to enjoy today." Kagome nodded. "Because this will be the last time you see those 3 again."
