Formerly known as Passion

O.o It's been awhile since I've updated…Hmmm, it's been a month! I can't believe it! Oh well, I moved recently so my computer and internet have been an issue to put together at the new house. Actually, 2 weeks ago I got a brand new computer! I was psyched, 'cause my old computer was old and slow…But, whatever. Finally, I can continue on, however, my heart really isn't in it, but I know once I start writing I'll get back into the story…hopefully. Enjoy and please review me!

Chapter Seventeen: Back to where it started

The three continued to sit there like idiots, staring around them hoping to find a sign, an answer explaining what was going on. The thing was, they were somehow thrown back in time! Kagome felt so upset, she actually started to cry. Tears flowed through her eyes and cascaded down her checks and they settled on her knees, at which she sat. She couldn't believe that sixteen years of her life were…gone. Who could do such a thing? She kept asking herself, as she watched her tears evaporate slowly before her. Before Kagome really freaked out, Inuyasha rushed to her side and embraced her tightly. Koga watched with a scowl. He was pissed off. He couldn't believe that he would have to relive sixteen more years!

"This takes the cake!" Koga exclaimed, thoroughly pissed, rushing up and clenching his fists, "Hell! This takes the whole bakery!"

Inuyasha frowned at him and let go of Kagome, who was now rubbing her eyes. The crying had ceased, for now. Inuyasha got up with Kagome and gave Koga an evil look.

"What are you on about?" Inuyasha asked him frustrated, "we're all mad, but don't get over excited. We need to keep our head and eyes open. That's the only way we can fix things!"

Kagome nodded and smiled to Koga. Inuyasha looked surprised at Kagome, as did Koga. Why was Kagome suddenly smiling?

"I think it's funny." She said, still smiling at Koga, "That you learned that saying from me about the cake, sixteen years ago. I think it's funny that you say this now…"

Koga tilted his head to the side confused, "What? I learned it from you? I don't remember…" He started to scratch his chin in thought and suddenly shook his head, "WAIT! Who cares if I learned that from whatever, we need to focus on this….thing!" he gestured at himself and Kagome, "I'm not reliving sixteen more years!"

Inuyasha sighed and crossed his arms in thought, "nor am I, or Kagome or anyone for that matter. We need to find out who did this. Someone powerful I wager…"

Kagome looked off into the distance. Memories of the past came flooding back. She did miss those days, but really didn't want to go back in time.

"Could it be possible…" Kagome started, walking slowly toward the rising sun, "That Naraku did this?"

Inuyasha frowned and walked behind Kagome and grabbed her right shoulder and held on tightly.

"He's dead, remember?" he told her gently, "We killed him together…"

Kagome continued to think. Was it possible that Naraku, though he was dead, still could do something like this? Or…

"I DON'T KNOW!" Kagome shouted suddenly shaking Inuyasha off and awakening some Birds Of Paradise in the process.

"Crap…" she added, as she noticed the birds coming toward them, "I forgot that this mountain was full of them back then…"

Inuyasha quickly grabbed hold of tetsusaiga and did his thing and in a matter of minutes, the birds were nothing more than chicken noodle soup.

"Sheesh Kagome…" Koga said, gaping at Kagome, "I've never heard you lose you're cool like that…"

Kagome blushed and looked away, "Well…" she started, blinking hard, "I was frustrated…"

"Yea, whatever," Inuyasha said, walking over from his victory, "We need to stop quarreling and find Miroku and Sango."

The others nodded and Kagome jumped onto Inuyasha's back as Koga decided to find Ayame. Inuyasha didn't stop him, hell, he nearly threw Koga away.

After watching Koga leave, the two decided to head to their house. They hoped that it existed sixteen years ago. Once they arrived, they were relieved to find that it did indeed exist, only that…

"Our house isn't our house…" Inuyasha said, as they stared from afar, watching tons of kids run around the house. As they continued to watch, they saw two old people come out from inside and yell at the kids. This must have been the family that used to live here.

"Now what?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, rather impatiently, "Where could Sango and Miroku be?"

As if in answer, they heard a scream from inside the house. Inuyasha quickly rushed inside, ignoring the protest of the old man, and spotted something he hadn't expected. Miroku and Sango were being chased with a broom by an old lady. However, that wasn't the weird thing that made Inuyasha so shocked. It was the fact that both of them were naked! Before Inuyasha could puke, Miroku and Sango ran out. They were heading toward the woods, where Inuyasha had left Kagome to hide. As the old woman with the broom came closer to Inuyasha, he realized that he shouldn't just stand there unless he wanted to fight the broom to the death. So, without wasting another second, he ran out, covering his head for protection incase the broom were to jump at him. After running far from the house and mad old lady with broom, he finally felt safe and headed toward where Kagome was hiding. As he approached, he noticed that Miroku and Sango were there as well, at least this time with a sheet covering them. Apparently, they stole the blanket off the line of clothes in front of the house.

Without thinking, Inuyasha suddenly burst out laughing at the sight of them. Miroku frowned and Sango's face turned beet red.

Kagome sighed and scowled at Inuyasha as he fell to the ground in laughter. At this time, Miroku and Sango got a chance to find some clothes at the house and change. When they returned, Inuyasha was not laughing. However, he still had a smug smile upon his face.

"Just forget what you saw." Miroku said, wearing an outfit that looked almost like his old fit, "Who knew that you shared you're home with a giant family!"

Kagome and Inuyasha shared a look. It looked like Sango and Miroku didn't know what was going on.

"Um.." Kagome started, "I hate to break it to you, but somehow, we are back in time sixteen years ago…"

Sango's eyes widened, "What? Are you serious? How is that possible? Who did this?"

Both Inuyasha and Kagome shrugged. They had no clue, only suspicions.

"I think it's Naraku." Kagome said, looking at Miroku, who was now looking at his hand. His eyes were full of fear and sadness. He would now have to face his wind tunnel, yet again.

"Who knows…" Miroku said, still gazing down at his cursed hand, "But he was dead?"

"That's what I said…" Inuyasha replied, sitting down on a rock across from Sango, "but who knows what he's capable of, even in death?"

The group thought for a moment and Sango asked, "Is Amaya okay? And Takashi?"

Kagome shook her head, "They didn't exist sixteen years ago, so no. They aren't okay. They're not even alive!"

Sango dropped her head, "Yea, I forgot…sorry."

Miroku stood up suddenly as he remembered something, "I think I know who it was!" he said, getting all excited, "Sango." he said, looking to her, "you remember earlier when we spotted Kagura and Kanna together? They said they were about to die or something, but don't you think it possible that they were lying and forming a plan to bring back Naraku?"

Inuyasha stood up quickly and gave Miroku wide eyes. Miroku nodded to him and looked down to Sango who was also standing up. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, full of understanding. Of course, the plan was perfect. If Kagura and Kanna did find a way to go back in time, then surely Naraku would be alive again! And, as a plus, he would learn from his mistake from last time, meaning he would be even stronger than before! Did Naraku plan this before his death? Did he know he was to die? Did he know he wasn't strong enough to win? Nothing made sense, but did at the same time. Kagura and Kanna turned time around to resurrect Naraku. No doubt, but how?

Miroku sighed and crossed his arms, "It seems this story is a Never Ending Tale. And I was hoping to live the rest of my life in peace…" He sighed again.

So much for that….

End of chapter

Hey everyone! I know this chapter doesn't have much excitement in it, but I'm tying to figure out what should happen next. Also, my back hurts! V.V Anyways, some of you are probably wondering why I changed the title of this story. Well, to make it simple, the title had nothing to do with the story line. Maybe it did 2 years ago when I started this, but not know. Sorry if it threw anyone off, but it was driving me crazy! Maybe a new title will help me write better, who knows? It could also make me worse (if that's possible . ) Oh well, I hope you enjoy the chapter and like the title, and please, review me! It was my birthday the other day so…
