CHAPTER ONE: Happy Birthday, Kagome!

The sun rose slowly into the early morning sky as InuYasha and Kagome slept in their home. A small creature climbs into their bed and crawls over to them trying not to make a sound. InuYasha's ears twitch as he listens to the soft noises of the little creature climbing on top of him. He opens his eyes slightly and looks down to see his 2-year old son crawling on their bed.

"Hey, what're you doin' up so early?" He said sleepily as he picked up his son and Kotaro giggled and gave his father a hug. Then he wiggled away and crawled over to Kagome and woke her up.

"Kotaro? What are you doing up? It's still early, sweetie."

"Aww, he just wants to give you a hug… it's your birthday after all, Kagome."

"Happy birdie mama!" Kotaro giggled in delight and gave his mother another hug.

"Thank you sweetie."

InuYasha watched as his mate and his youngest child hugged each other and crawled over to hug them both. "Happy birthday, Kagome"

Kagome sighed and looked at Kotaro. "Kotaro, how about you go get your brother and sister, ok?"

"Kay, Mama."

The 2-year old wobbled away to his brother and sister, leaving Kagome and InuYasha alone.

"So... What are we going to do today?" Kagome asked curiously.

"I dunno, it's your birthday, you decide."

"Well, I want to do whatever you want to do."

"Hmph... you're not gonna make this easy, are you?"

Kagome laughed and laid her head on InuYasha's shoulder. Just then Kotaro came back with his older brother and sister, who were still half asleep. As they walked in, Shirrow, their 11-year old son was complaining.

"Kotaro, why'd ya' half to wake us up? It's too early!"

Noriko ran up to her mother and gave her a hug "Happy birthday Mommy!"

"Happy birthday from me too, but I still wish Kotaro didn't wake me up..."

"Mama, what we gonna do for your bir-day?" asked a curious Kotaro.

"Yeah, what are we gonna do?"

"How about we do whatever you guys want to do?"

"No way!" objected Shirrow "It's your birthday! We have to do what YOU want to do! Not the other way around!"

"Alright, if it makes you happy I'll think of something we could do toda-"

"Actually... Kagome I think I know what we should do..."

"Really? What?"

"Yeah what're we gonna do Dad?"

"Daddy what do you want to do?"

"Daddy, what we gonna do?"

"It's a surprise." InuYasha smirked, "Well, come on… get dressed, we're goin somewhere fun."

…………………………………………………

"InuYasha, where are we going?" Kagome asked as she let InuYasha carry her, blindfolded, on his back. "Come on, tell me!"

"Nope" InuYasha chuckled; he loved torturing Kagome like this.

"Come on Dad, where are we goin'?" Shirrow asked.

"Not gonna tell ya'."

"Daddy, why are we in a forest?" Noriko asked.

"Shhh! You'll give it away, shorty."

"Papa, why we in fowest?" mimicked Kotaro.

"Well, Kagome... as you can tell, we're in a forest." InuYasha sighed.

Kagome laughed, she didn't need to bother asking where InuYasha was taking her. Eventually Noriko and Kotaro would give it away.

"Oh and I bet you're enjoying all of this, aren't you?" InuYasha snapped.

"Oh, quit being such a baby, so I know that we're in a forest, that doesn't give anything away."

"Except that we're in a forest..." Shirrow remarked.

"Huh? Daddy, look! A well! What's it doing in the middle of a forest?" Noriko asked.

"A well? InuYasha... are we going where I think we're going?" Kagome asked hesitantly.

"Well I wanted it to be a surprise, but... I guess there's no reason for the blindfold now..." InuYasha said depressed and took the blindfold off of her.

Kagome looked in front of her and saw it. The bone-eaters well. It had been 12 years since she and InuYasha finished the jewel and confessed their love for each other, she hadn't been back in her own era since then.

"InuYasha... we... we can't go back now... not after all this time..."

"Aww, come on Kagome, I know you've been wanting to go home for a long time to see your family."

"Mom, what's Dad talkin' 'bout?" Shirrow said. "That's just a stupid old well!"

"InuYasha, it's been 12 years... how can we just go back? They don't even know about us living together or the children... how can we just show up again by going back and tell them all of this? They probably think we're dead! When we left we were going to come back in a year!" Kagome said with tears forming in her eyes. "Mom didn't even want me to be away THAT long!"

"Kagome..."

"Daddy, what's wrong with Mommy? Why's she crying?" Noriko asked.

"Mama, don' cwy..." Kotaro said, holding onto Kagome's kimono.

InuYasha walked over to Kagome, brought her into a tight embrace and rubbed her back. "Come on Kagome, it'll be ok. They won't mind that much, will they?"

"I don't know what to think right now. I'm so happy, but what am I supposed to say to people I haven't seen in 12 years?"

"Well, there's one way to find out... Come on, I'll be with you the whole time… there's nothing to worry about."

Shirrow looked over at his little sister. "Are you following this at all?"

"Nope..."

"That's what I thought."

"Are you?"

"No..." Shirrow sighed. "Dad what the hell's goin' on here?"

"Watch your mouth, Shirrow!" InuYasha snapped.

"Sorry Dad... but seriously, what's goin on?"

"Come with me and you'll find out." He looked over at Kagome. "Ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be... Come on kids; want to meet your relatives?"

"We have relatives?" Noriko asked

"Since when?" Shirrow demanded.

"Since forever… come here, sweetie." Kagome said as she picked up Kotaro while he pulled more and more grass out of the ground. "Ok come on put the grass down, you don't want that."

"Kay, Mama."

"Alright, Noriko, Shirrow come here" InuYasha picked them both up with one arm and then grabbed Kagome with the other and jumped down the well and passed through.

………………………………………

The family of five passed through the well and came out on the other side. They were 500 years into the future.

"D-dad, w-where are we?"

"What's the problem, Shirrow? Not scared are ya'?" InuYasha teased.

"W-what? N-no! Course not!"

"Daddy, someone's coming..." Noriko said, frightened.
