Hello there people! The Al Bhed Known as Amaria, here. As I'm sure DPD already mentioned, this is a collaboration between the two of us, based on an Inuyasha RPG that we have had going for several months. However, events will be changed slightly to make it more interesting and such, also taking into account that this fiction is not starting where the role play started; it is starting a good few events after the beginning of the role play. That said, I hope you enjoy this story, as DPD and myself are working very hard to make it enjoyable.
Disclaimer: Just as DPD doesn't own any of the inu characters, neither do I. Neither do I own DPD's characters. However, Lindzi and Alexis are © to me and as such, I will not tolerate any thievery on their part.

Chapter Two

Despite the crimson orbs set in a death glare, the clock continued its annoying ticking, slowly counting down the minutes left until the class would be over.

The teacher at the front of the room wrote some equations down on the chalk board with an explanation as to how they related to science written beside them, then turned to the class.
Lindzi, however, wasn't paying attention. Hell, she had tuned out long before hand to instead stare at the clock with her piercing crimson orbs, lips pulled in a tight grimace.
Twenty minutes, and she would be free.
Tucking a strand of raven hair behind her ear when is slipped from her elastic, Lindzi thought back on the past week. She hadn't been back to the Feudal Era in a full week, and she was anxious to see her mate and pup. Lindzi sighed. She missed them immensely when she was in the present, but what could she do? She was only eighteen, and if her relatives began to suspect something, she would be in trouble.
So, despite Inuyasha's arguments that she had no use for school and that she should just forget her life in the present and move permanently to the past, she couldn't let go. She really didn't have anything keeping her from moving on; she just wasn't ready to let it go yet.
'Ten minutes.' Smirking, Lindzi scrutinized her advanced chemistry teacher. Mr. Partlow was a short, balding man of about 50, with a large gut and a tendency to 'admire' the forms of the female students in his class.
'Well, except me.' She thought smugly, a matching smirk spreading across her lips once more. Mr. Partlow had learned before that Lindzi was not to be 'admired' by any male.
Well, except for Inuyasha, of course.
Resisting the urge to jump for joy when the bell finally rang, Lindzi packed up her books as calmly as she could and strode out of the classroom, breathing a sigh of relief.
Ah, spring break. How she loved it.
A full week in the past with nothing but her daughter, Inuyasha and his half-family. Lindzi smiled at that. Inuyasha's half brother, Sesshoumaru, demon lord of the western lands, had a mate named Koneko, a cat demon who also came from the future. Along with them were their two sons, Ranmaru and Komaru, the 3 year olds as big and active as 6 year olds.
Lindzi walked until she came to the town house she occupied when in the future; her parents had stayed in Canada when she had moved to Japan two years beforehand, so she lived on her own. Gathering up the small amount of supplies she required, Lindzi stuffed them all into a small black backpack and headed out, locking up her house before walking towards the Higurashi Shrine.
At first, it had been awkward having to go there to get to the Feudal Era; ever since Naraku had been defeated and Inuyasha had admitted that the one he loved was Lindzi, Kagome had been less then pleasant to the Canadian-born girl. However, she had seemingly gotten over it and was now tolerable, apparently having found a new flame in her own time period.
Reaching the Shrine and climbing up the long set of stairs, she walked towards the old well building when she made it to the top. Holding her breath as was normal, she swung herself over the rim of the well and was immediately engulfed by the blue magic, landing softly on the dirt floor a few seconds later.
Lindzi sighed in relief when she felt her ears elongating to their normal length; her elven traits hid themselves automatically when she was in the present. Turning, she grabbed onto the cracks in the wall and started climbing up towards the opening. She was about ten inches away from the top when a clawed hand reached down towards her, the arm attached covered in red cloth. Lindzi looked up, lips twitching into a smile when she looked up to see Inuyasha looking down at her with a smirk.
She took his hand and was immediately pulled up, her mate catching her easily in a bridal position. Raising an eyebrow at him, Lindzi grinned.
"Hello to you to." Inuyasha just smirked again, kissing her on her forehead.
"Hallo, mate." He replied, pulling back and looking over towards a nearby tree. "Alexis! Come see whose back!" he called.
Lindzi smiled as she watched her daughter poke her head out from behind the tree. Alexis had been born almost the spitting image of her mother, barely resembling Inuyasha at all. The 1 1/2 year old had long raven hair tied back in a loose braid, curious ember eyes (a mix between Inu's amber and Lindzi's crimson), and long pointed ears like her mothers.
"Mommy!" the young girl squeaked in her sweet little voice, rushing to get to her mother. She tripped a few times on the way, as she had only begun learning to walk a month before hand, but eventually the little girl made it to her parents. Lindzi smiled and, after getting down from Inu's arms, scooped the child up and hugged her tightly.
Stroking the purring child's hair, Lindzi examined the girl's clothing and smiled. She wore a blue kimono decorated with red flower petals; a present from her cousins. Just as the twins seemed older then they were, the small bit of demon blood that Alexis had received from Inuyasha had caused her growth to speed up as well, making Alexis appear to be nearly 3.
"I missed you Mommy." Alexis murmured sleepily, clutching onto the material of her mother's t-shirt. Lindzi smiled and kissed her baby on her head.
"I missed you to, sweetheart. Now lets get you home so you can relax." Carrying Alexis with one arm and holding Inu's hand with the other, Lindzi smiled as she walked home with her family. She was home.
