Mika: Hi! This is my first fic so don't be mean!

Moo: Quack.

Mika: Moo is my pet duck. He and his army of ostriches will someday rule the world.

*readers slowly back away towards door*

Mika: If you leave you'll miss my fic! *uses authoress powers to delete door*

Moo: Quack Quack.

Mika: He said, "Try not to scare them and don't forget the disclaimer." I'll let him say it.

Moo: Quack Quack Quack.

Mika: He said, "Mika the Water Goddess does not own Inuyasha. She only owns herself and the characters she created. She only has fifty cents anyway." Wait, I HAVE MORE THAN FIFTY CENTS YOU STUPID DUCK! I'LL PLUCK YOUR FEATHERS OUT IF YOU DON'T QUIT THAT!

Moo: *unplugs ears* (AN: how a duck could plug his ears I don't know)

Mika: Oh yeah! All flames will be used for toasting marshmallows, evil conniving ducks named Moo, and homework.

Moo: O.O Quack?

Mika: He said, "Please don't hurt me?"

Family Reunions

Prologue

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two little boys passed the ball to each other for what seemed like the millionth time. They were twin, both with golden eyes, silver hair, furry white puppy ears, and adorable puffy tails.

"I'm bored." whined Inu. He passed the ball back to his brother and purposely fell, hitting his tiny head on the cement path.

"Me too." Yasha sighed as he passed the ball again. He didn't realize that his brother was face-first in the ground and accidentally hit him on the head. Oops.

Inu, ignoring the ball that bruised his head, lifted it and looked in the direction of the well house. "You know how mom always tells us not to go into the well house?"

"Hai, but what are you getting at?"

"Let's take a look."

"But-"

"It'll cure our boredness."

"Ok."

The two little hanyous opened the door to the well and slowly made their way down the steps. After a small amount of teamwork, the twin brothers reached the edge of the well. Yasha began to rethink his decision, until Inu pushed him off the edge and jumped in after him.



Mika jumped off the school bus. She looked at her Speedo watch and almost screamed, cursing under her breath.

"Kuso! I was supposed to be home five minutes ago!" Making sure no one was around, she lept onto the roof of a building and ran, jumping over rooftops on her way home.

The Higarashi shrine was closed; no customers would ever buy the fake shikon-no-tamas again. Grandpa still swept the shrine grounds, though he did so with great effort, and Souta still played his video games non-stop, but there was much change within the shrine. Three new members had joined the family even if they were their great-grandfather's worst nightmare. Three hanyous, two tiny and annoying, one strong-willed and stubborn. Even the keeper of the shikon-no-tama had changed, passed on to the strong willed one, while her mother trained her. The daughter of the Higarashi shrine was a mother now, and none of her friends knew it.

'Maybe I should try to go back.' Kagome thought, staring at the well. Her two little hanyous were playing catch by the Goshinboku, and her daughter was probably heading home from school, late as usual. No one would notice if she just disappeared for a while, right? But who was she kidding; she'd tried so many times to go back, only to meet hard ground when she jumped. Turning back to the ramen she was preparing for the three hungry children, Kagome barely noticed her daughter's speedy entrance, if it weren't for the familiar tugging of the shikon-no-tama around her daughter's neck as a guide.

"Mom I'm home!" shouted Mika.

"Your late, Mika." her mother barely looked up from whatever she was preparing.

"Sorry."

"Go get your brothers; they're outside playing. I'm making some ramen for you and it should be ready when you get back."

Mika's eyes widened, and she hugged her mother. "ARIGATO! Be right back!" Mika used all of her hanyou speed to reach the god tree, where her brothers played catch. She soooo wanted that ramen!

But she only thing she got was the abandoned ball, lying alone near the goshinboku. It was as if they had just thrown it aside. They never left the tree; where were they? Mika started to get nervous, and tried to sniff out their scent. Oh the advantages to being a hanyou!

Though she was reluctant to believe it, Inu and Yasha's scent lingered near the wellhouse. That was not good. If they jumped in and got hurt, she was going to be so mad! Even if she didn't understand it, her mother probably had good reason to keep them from the well. Great. Now she had to rescue two idiotic twins who probably couldn't get out of the well on their own.

Bright, rainbow-like colors filled the well as Inu and Yasha gripped tightly to one another's hands. Next thing they knew, the young hanyou's standing in the well again. Inu was the first to recover from the shock.

"Where are we?" He looked as scared as a puppy. (AN: Sorry, couldn't help myself. Just imagine Inu and Yasha as dog-like Shippos)

"Help!" A hand grabbed the tiny hanyous by their tails as they squeaked relentlessy.

"Help!" Yasha squeaked again.

"Lemme go, lemme go!" Inu was fighting the demonic hand that held him. The person holding them only growled and started carrying them away from the well.

"They act like Shippo." He said, and threw the two over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mika: Woohoo! Prologue done! Cheers for me!

Moo: Quack.

Mika: What do you mean, "I need to visit a psych ward?"

Moo: Quack.

Mika: I can too be normal!

Moo: Quack.

Mika: That was mean. Anyone who can guess what Moo said and who Inu and Yasha's capturer is gets two thumbs up! Yay! ^o^

Moo: Quack. O.o

Mika: What do you mean, "Told you she needs medical attention, that blue hair is abnormal?"
