Chapter 5: Why Do My Ears Deceive Me?

Kagome sat crosslegged on the grass near the well. She leaned against the old wooden boards and tried to find peace. It wasn't working well, due to the fact that Sesshomaru magically appeared and made Inuyasha go haywire! Not that he was haywire before, but that was the sex mode, this was rage. And it didn't look like it was going to well. It never did.
"Hey, Kagome?"
"Yes Shippo?"
"Can I have a soda?"
"Why?"
"'Cause all of this fighting is making me thirsty."
Kagome chuckled a bit and smiled.
"Ok! I'll be right back." Said Kagome happily jumping through the well.'Thank god. A good excuse to get away from the two demonic dimwits.'
Shippo sighed as Kagome went through to the future. Seeing the bright blue lights made him depressed because, he really always wanted to go the future to see what it's like, but he never had the courage to ask Kagome if he could go.
Inuyasha ALWAYS got to go. In fact, it seemed that Inuyasha didn't need a Shikon shard so maybe he could, nah..but he was just a kitsune!
"Wait a second…I'm a kitsune. I can get out of any situation because of my cuteness!" said Shippo with a grin as he started to walk towards the well.
"What are you doing Shippo? Talking to yourself isn't healthy you know."
"M-MIROKU! Hey! Um…how's it going?"
"Not too well. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are at it again."
"What else is new?"
"Sesshomaru wants Inuyasha to get his head out of his sexual arousal with Kagome and prove his worth. But Inuyasha begs to differ that he was never in a pit with Kags or anything like that."
"Obviously THAT was a lie."
"Right, so Sesshomaru keeps smirking and keeps winning the arguments and Inuyasha keeps denying everything."
"So lemme' guess, the score so far is Sesshomaru: 100 Inuyasha: 0."
"Correct."
"Ah."
"Yep."
"Hm."
"Well."
"Miroku?"
"Yes?"
"I wanna travel to the future, can I g-"
"No."
"But WHY?" wailed the kitsune.
"You're NOT going alone…because I wanna go to."
Shippo grinned and jumped in the well with Miroku not too far behind.

Ayame was laughing her ass off on the sidelines as Kouga came from behind the bushes covered with sticks, leaves, and brown stuff on his foot and a red handprint could be seen on his face. Ayame fell off the rock she was sitting on because she was laughing so hard.
"Shut-up Ayame."
"That was too funny. Admit it."
"Not when it happens to you."
"True, it's not everyday you walk in on a women taking a crap in the bushes and then stepping in it."
"I WHAT!"
"You…stepped…in…it." Ayame said with a smirk.
Kouga gulped and looked down and immediately twitched with anger and annoyance.
"This is so humiliating!" Kouga cried and put his head in his hands trying to shake off the crap on his foot in the meantime.
Ayame stared at Kouga for a while. "Hey Kouga?"
Kouga didn't move from his position. "Hmm?"
"Do you have anything to say to me today?" she asked quietly.
Kouga immediately popped his head up, his blue eyes shining with confusion.
"Hmm…Go away?"
Ayame sweatdropped.
"It's my BIRTHDAY!"
"Oh…right."
"Did you get me anything?"
"Nope. I'm saving up for Kagome's birthday."
"You don't even care that it's your future wife's birthday?"
"Not really cause you're NOT my future wife!"
"I was thinking…maybe I'm on a wild goose chase. Maybe I'm going after something I'm never going to get." She said with a wink.
"Maybe you are…"
"You're right. But the only reason that you won't marry me is because of that girl Kagome who can see jewel shards!"
"She's amazing!"
"Isn't she though? Listen Kouga, I swear to you, you are NEVER EVER going to get that girl. You know why?"
"Because she…can't run fast enough?"
"NO YOU BLIND MORON! She loves someone else, and you can't ruin true love because you think you love her more!"
"I do love her more! And who does she love? Not mutt-face, I'll pummel him to the groun-"
"GET IT THROUGH YOUR BRAINLESS HEAD! She loves Inuyasha! NOT YOU!" she said slapping him across the face. He recoiled off the rock he was on and fell to the ground. He looked at her determined face to get him to realize one thing. Not she loves him, something even more stupid cam out of his mouth.
"I knew it. I should've known it Ayame." He said with sudden realization sitting on the rock next to her. She looked at him with pleading eyes. "No one loves me. No one will. You don't understand Ayame, no one is EVER there for me."
Ayame sat in silence, rage growing through her.
"I'm here Kouga. I've ALWAYS been here."
"You have? I mean, you do chase me around a lot."
"Maybe, I'm not gonna chase after you anymore because marrying you would be the biggest mistake of my life! BECAUSE I'D BE MARRYING A FOOL!" she screamed in his face and taking off her tiara and smashing it to the ground.
"Ayame?"
"Oh, and thanks for giving me a happy birthday." She added running away with tears streaming down her face.
Kouga blinked and then picked up her tiara. And he nodded at it.
"Yep. I fucked up REAL big his time didn't I?"

"Listen Sesshomaru! I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS CRAP! GO AWAY!"
"Make me!"
"Fine! Have it your way!" yelled Inuyasha whipping out Tetsuaiga and getting in his battle stance. Sesshomaru smirked.
"I don't have time for your petty games little half-breed. I need you to go back to our lands and take over for me."
"No FUCKING way. The only reason you even want me to go back there, is so the people that hate me more than you can gang up on me and kill me!"
"Oooh, you saw RIGHT through my plan. Tsk Tsk. I thought I was smarter than that." said Sesshomaru sarcastically, looking down on his half-demon brother. "Hey, where's your sex toy? That girl Kagame, Kagume or something."
"It's Kagome and never speak about her that way!"
"I don't listen to the worthless piece of scum you are."
Then Sango had to ask.
"Yeah, where is everybody?"
And then they realized they were the only ones on the battlefield. Inuyasha's eye twitched.
"Where is Kagome?" he managed to ask Sango.
"She went through the well I think."
"When?"
"When the sun-"
"Flew up his ass and knocked his brain out of his head." Finished Sessomaru.
"Shut-up! Now excuse me Your Highness, but I must leave you for now. Kagome awaits."
"More like a good beating awaits…" mumbled Sesshomaru as Inuyasha ran out of sight with his red haori flapping in the wind. Sango kind of stood there.
"Hey Sesshomaru, where's Rin?" Sesshomaru froze in his spot as he looked over to the side where Jaken should have been watching Rin. There was Jaken, sleeping like a bulldozer, drooling and snoring away. There was Ah-un curled up in his ball dreaming off clouds. But there was no Rin. He looked at Sango for a minute then at Jaken then at Ah-un.
"Oh Fuck."
"You don't think Naraku took her do you?"
"I will kill him so fast he won't even know what hit him."
"You really do care for her, don't you Sesshomaru?"
"…"
"Oh! I can't wait until she meets a boy and they get married."
"Married?" Sesshomaru said with wide eyes but tried to remain his heartless self.
"Uh-huh oh please can I come! PLEASE! I wanna help dress her! And maybe Kagome can help too!" Sango shrieked jumping up and down.
"Dress?" he said with confusion. Being the all-knowing demon lord, he should know everything!
"A very pretty dress! I saw pictures of Kagome wearing pretty ones from her time. Perhaps we can take pictures of Rin too!"
"Pictures?" Sango nodded.
"Rin will do no such thing with any other male."
"Oh, you're such a father!" Sango said with a huge grin.
"I'm not a father. I am no such thing."
"You are too."
"I refuse." He said turning his back on her. Sango got suspicious.
"Are you sure?"
"I don't want to be a father! I can do what ever I please and a father is not one of them."
"So you'd want to be her groom?"
"Correct- I mean…" Sesshomaru said with a growl lingering in his throat.
"You so love her! How romantic!"
"Get away from me! I don't even know why I spoke to you."
"Because you're worried about Rin and you want help."
"I don't want help."
"You so do."
"Sango…" he warned. She gasped.
"You never said my name before! I'm so proud of you! This is a big step for you, even for you almighty demon lord!"
"…just find Rin."
"Before she finds a male?"
"Now."
"Geez! Such a pushy puppy!"

"Naraku, do you REALLY think it was necessary for you to do that?"
"Do not question be Kagura. I do what I please. Besides, its fun to be futurized and mess with people's minds!"
"You sure seem confident…"
"Anyway, without that girl Kagome, Inuyasha will become vulnerable and the Shikon Jewel is mine! I will have ultimate power!"
"Don't get your hopes up."
"What do you speak of?"
"Inuyasha and that wench are together every waking moment."
"Not for long Kagura, not for long."
Miroku and Shippo had entered the blue light and started jumping and dancing when they landed.
"I can't believe we're actually HERE! In the future!" screamed Shippo still doing his victory dance.
"I wonder how me and Sango's children look." Said Miroku adjusting his robes.
"You mean great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren." Shippo ranted with a huge breath.
"Close enough." They shrugged and Shippo had the urge to look up and figure out how to get out of the well.
"Hey Miroku, I thought Kagome's well was in a shrine."
"It is Shippo, and isn't there a ladder?"
"Oh great, now what?"
"We get out of the well of course!"
"Um, how?"
"I'll put you on my shoulders and you can jump up there and get something to pull me up."
"Great idea!" So Shippo got on Miroku's shoulders and jumped onto the wooden edge of the well. When he got his balance, he looked at his surroundings, paling every time his eyes scanned the scene.
There were men dressed in the same clothing holding mechanical devices that looked like if you got poked with one, it would hurt a lot. It seemed they were marching though a once suburban area that was now in shambles. Houses were boarded and empty and there were dead bodies everywhere.
Shippo couldn't believe his eyes until he remembered the ladder for Miroku. Shippo dodged behind houses and bricks and wood until he found some sort of rope so that Miroku could pull himself up out of the well.
"You mustn't be seen little one." said a soft voice from behind Shippo. Shippo looked up and tried to scream but a hand went over his mouth.
"Shhh. I'm here to help you." Soothed the voice again. Shippo looked at the person practically suffocating him. The women looked a lot like Sango, except she was in rags and she was dirty. But the scariest part was her eyes because they were dead and lifeless, not the determined fire they used to glow with.
"S-Sango?" he managed to choke out. The women looked surprised.
"That's my great-great-great-great-grandmother's name. I'm Sanyoko and you are?"
"I'm Shippo!" he said happily but the women put her finger to her lip.
"You must stay quiet little one or the enemy will hear you."
"What enemy?"
"The Nazi." Shippo looked at the women like she was crazy. 'Were those the demons I saw before?' He shook out of it and remembered Miroku in the well.
"Ms. Sanyoko, my friend is stuck in a well and I need to get him out so we can find our friend."
"I will go with you, but then I must get back to my family, they are waiting for me." So the two traveled through the ruble again all the way back to Miroku who was sitting there making castles out of pebbles.
"Miroku! I'm here!" Said Shippo throwing the rope down to the monk. "Climb up!" Sanyoko and Shippo pulled up Miroku and he dusted himself off.
"Thanks a bunch Shippo an-" he stopped short looking at his raggedy wife.
"Sango? What happened to you? Aren't you supposed to be back in the past?"
"If only time can be rearranged. If only my dear monk. You are a monk correct?"
"Don't you know who I am Sango?" he pleaded. "It's me! Miroku!"
"That's my husband…you do sort of look like him. Let's go back to the cellar and see what we can do."
"Do about what?" the two asked.
"You are stuck here right?"
The two looked at each other and really needed to find Kagome so they agreed that they would say they were stranded.
"Alright then, I can't wait to introduce everyone! I mean it's so lonely here in Germany, every since-"
"Hold up! What?" Shippo asked with wide eyes.
"Germany." She replied.
"Shippo…I don't think we're in Japan anymore."
