I am a million times sorry for not putting this chapter up sooner! SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY! Well I hope you like this because I really had to work through pain to type this. I was riding my bike when I crashed into a tree, I hurt my arm really badly, so that's part of a reason that I couldn't type. It's fine now though. Also I have SOL's all this week. Friday is my Band trip to Hershey Park. So I wanted to get this up before my life got even more hectic. Hope you like it.

Here are my shout outs to my lovely darling reviewers. Mucho love you guys!

gothic ember: thanks for reviewing I'll tell everyone when I get my pics posted on my xanga. T

ashley: Thanks for liking my story, and thanks for reviewing

Kristie: Thanks, I've been writing since 5th grade. I have thought about doing it for my life, but my parents don't really approve, they think it's just some hobby I have. They want me to become a doctor. I want to become a doctor, but I'll definitely be writing as long I can type.

Kitsune-kun: Thanks for liking it Ureshi! Yeah I got that "it burns" part from when Carinny-poo beats on me. It's one of my favorite phrases.

Darkassassin92: Yeah people tell me I'm strange all the time. You especially. Hmmmm I wonder why people tell me that? Hahaha well thanks for reviewing carinny-poo!.

Everlasting Wishes

The meeting

Disclaimer: Roses are red violets are blue, I don't own InuYasha boo hoo.

Yumi woke up feeling much better, and well rested. She glanced around her room, just to be sure she wasn't kidnaped by anyone else. The whole living in the Feudal Era was turning out to be not as great as she expected. In fact it was down right brutal. What had she faced so far? A rabid squirrel demon, a rapist bandit, a crazy old witch, and soon to be but not to her knowledge an attack from a jealous wolf demoness. Yumi looked at her pile of dirty laundry and grimaced. With a sigh, Yumi picked up the overly stuffed laundry basket and commenced to wash her clothes.

Ayame ran as fast as her feet could take her. To the naked human eye she was just a blur, a twister of leaves, and air. Destination, Kagome. Her nose told her she was several miles from the miko. Her nose also told her that Inuyasha, the monk, that little fox demon, the demon exterminator, and her little cat demon was with her. Ayame was quickly closing the distance between them...

Kagome sat with InuYasha's head in her lap. She watched intently as her true love slept peacefully. Kagome always liked these quiet moments when she was alone with InuYasha. At first he was just lay staring up at the sky, but soon Kagome itched to touch his velvety ears. So she reached to them and started to feel them, rubbing the fur in small circles. A little growlish purr started from the hanyou. It was a low rumble that came deep from within his chest. Not too soon after he surrendered to sleep. That is how they were now. Kagome stroked his gleaming silver hair, giggling when his ears twitched involuntarily.

Kagome looked up from her loves hair to find a wolf demoness with a smile on and an eyebrow raised. Smiling back at Ayame, Kagome put a finger to her lips, a signal to be quiet. Ever so slowly and cautiously Kagome slid out from under InuYasha and gently rested his head on the soft grass. It was quite surprising when he didn't wake up, either from Ayame's presence or having his woman get up from under him. Kagome drew Ayame from the sleeping hanyou over to a safe distance away by a log. There they both sat down.

"Isn't he cute when he sleeps? Hee hee!" Kagome giggled and Ayame smiled chuckling a little. "So what is it that I owe you for this visit?"

"Well," Ayame began not quite sure how to phrase what she was going to say. "My wolves were out hunting, one day. On that same day I kept getting these strange scents. They smelled like you Kagome but different sort of. Later that day when my wolves came back they found this demon to eat. The demon happened to be carrying something I just can not figure out. The strange thing was it smelled exactly like that smell I smelled before, the one that was close to your scent." With that Ayame reached into the folds of her fur wrap and produced the mangled alarm clock. "Maybe I'm wrong and this belongs to you, but the scent doesn't smell like you, close but not quite." Ayame stopped talking, when she noticed the look on Kagome's face. It was as if Kagome's eyes grew larger, and her mouth hung open in complete and utter shock.

"This isn't mine. In fact I've never seen one like this before." Kagome flipped over the clock and looked at the bottom to see the manufacturer. It read:

"Made in the United States. Clearwater Illinois. Questions or problems please call 1-800-CLOCK. No children or animals were harmed in the making of this product."

(A.N. I actually had an alarm clock with that on the bottom. Except the phone number was different. It was really funny. Who ever heard of children or animals being harmed with the making of a clock? I mean it prolly was made by a machine anyway. Ya know assembly line or something. I don't really know but w/e...)

If at all possible, Kagome's mouth opened wider. Her eyes bugged out and she gasped. "Why! This is made in America! I've never even been to America!" A silence stretched out as both females pondered who the alarm clock could have come from. The realization swept both of them at the same time. That strange scent! This belonged to that person! But how?

"I have to go Kagome, I really want to know who this belongs to. For some reason I have the feeling like something big is going to happen." With her parting words Ayame was gone in a twister of leaves and dust.

Yumi struggled with washing her clothes in the stream. The water was freezing cold! Her hands were starting to turn blue.

Since the last time Yumi was at the stream she was kidnaped by the bandit, she was careful to be aware of her surroundings more. Every so often Yumi looked up and scanned the forest for any signs of danger.

A pile of clean shirts later, Yumi rested for a bit. Her senses although weary, were still sharp and waiting for movement in the forest. A rustle on the opposite side of the stream made her glance up. A mother deer, and her fawn were quietly drinking from the waterside, as nervous and wary as Yumi was. Yumi stared at the adorable little creatures, one minute went by then two then the minutes stretched seemingly out into hours. On one side of the stream, the deers, on the other Yumi sat in quiet, just watching. She was more relaxed more now than ever. I mean what could be harmful about a mother deer, and her baby? Slowly and silently Yumi got up from her sitting position on the ground. In the process of getting up, a very small pebble was accidently kicked out from under Yumi's shoe, it made a plopping sound as it hit the surface of the water. At the sound the mother looked up with utter rage in her eyes. The mother deer nudged her fawn into the shelter of the trees, then turned back around to face the poor girl. She lowered her head and charged at Yumi catching her completely off guard. The deer knocked the wind out of Yumi sending her to topple into the stream. With a sniff the deer pranced back into the forest.

Yumi had about had it with all these stupid demons. All of them made life completely miserable for her. Wasn't life in the Feudal Era supposed to be wonderful and as glamourous as she had imagined? Where was Kouga? Where was Kagome and InuYasha? Where was the perverted monk Miroku, and the demon exterminator Sango? Where was little Shippo, the young kitsune, and Kilala, the fire cat demon? Why wasn't anything going as she had dreamed? Contemplating all of these questions, Yumi picked up her laundry and trudged back to her room, in defeat, completely soaked to the bone.

Ayame sped toward a stream, where the scent of the Kagome-like presence emanated from. As soon as she had departed from Kagome the scent came back strong. It led to a quiet stream, where Ayame knew for a fact that a herd of tasty deer lived. The wolf demoness came to a stop at the stream's edge, where it was quite clear that something was sitting there not too long ago. Her sense strained to pick up the scent again but she couldn't, it was as if whoever was recently there vanished. Not even a small trace of evidence remained. Something caught her eye just as she was about to leave. Something black, and cloth. Ayame reached down and picked up the little item carefully. Now this was definitely something that Kagome was likely to own. What was it's name again? Oh right, Kagome called it a bra. But this one couldn't be Kagome's because for one there was absolutely no scent of Kagome's presence on it. It actually smelled faintly of spring flowers. Wierd...Another thing to ask Kagome about...

As Yumi had returned home, a strange sensation spread from her neck down to her stomach. It was a tingly, bubbly feeling, almost as if someone drew a feather lightly over her skin. Yumi had these little 'moments' whenever she though of Kouga. Her love for him was extraordinary, it left her breathless and giddy. As the day grew on, there was more time to think about how she had somehow miraculously wished herself into a story. As far as she knew, the only people from InuYasha that could travel between worlds was Kagome and InuYasha. The jewel had pretty much made that possible. But how in the world did Yumi transfer to Feudal Era Japan? She had no jewel, no powers, no nothing.

Little did Yumi know that the power to come here was within herself. A strange power that, when wished hard on, would grant any hope or desire. Like the Shikon, it had been lost for a long eternity, lost before InuYasha had come along, lost before InuYasha's father InuTaisho had come along, lost for as long as anyone could remember. And also like the Shikon, it had reappeared, yet no one knew about it...Yet.

Thank you for reading now...REVIEW!
