A/N: First of all I would just like to say one thing….WE MADE IT TO CHAPTER 10! I never though I would make it this far!

I am very thankful for my friends that support me. Oh my it sound like I won a award or something…well I gave my self an award :)! Well I tend to ramble sometimes so I am just gonna shut up and let you read. Oh another thing. This chapter was more from my heart than my brain…meaning I really didn't think things all the way through so if you can please just keep that in mind as you read…ok I'll shut up now!

Chapter 10: Its all coming back to them now part 1

In an open field near the castle of the Eastern Lands was a group of people. Now the group looked out of place on the grassy field that was burn by the sun. The clouds around them began to darken and thunder began to rumble. It looked gloomy as ever but that was lost onto the group. Each one of them had their eyes closed and were trying to see what the three on the ground were dreaming. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Jaken, Ah-Un, Kirara, and Totosai were all concentrating extremely hard to try and see just what exactly was Inuyasha, Naraku, and Sesshomaru envisioning. They all gasped when images flashed through their minds…

It was a sunny day out and the image stopped in front of a castle that was so grand that you, for some reason, already knew that it was the Western Lands palace. The image was lifted up to the fourth floor and stopped at a window and then preceded to go through the window to see a little boy petting his atrocious looking pet troll. If it wasn't for the troll's soft and kind eyes you would have though it was the spawn of the devil itself. His feet were swinging over the ledge of his seat. He couldn't be no more than five years old…at least to the human eye. He was talking steadily to his pet, who at ever now and then, nodded his head. It was until he got onto a really difficult subject that the troll didn't understand so the little boy stopped and explain in his own words…

"You see Jufang, in this world there are two main elements. It is said supposedly that when the guardians of both elements are on this earth at the same time that because of such opposites that the will collide unknowingly to them and that a baby would be born. The guardians of each element are the complete opposites, not just because of their powers but also their looks and stuff like that."

"But Jufang, there is one boy and one girl and each one of them are the guardians of the main elements. Before my mama died because of the humans she told me this story a lot because she said that I was one of them…guess what Jufang I am the guardian of ice! So that means that there's a girl out there who's…" the little boy trailed off. Jufang just stared and adored his little master. Even though he was so young he was still so wise, it was truly amazing how he could comprehend all of that. There were footsteps outside the door and a deep voice said

"Sesshomaru, come its almost time for the hunt."

"Yes father, I am coming." He replied. He looked down to his pet and gave the troll a hug

"Wait hear Jufang I'll be back soon…"

Kagome and the others were a little confused…why did they need to know this knowledge? Once again images flew past there eyelids and cam upon what look like the present in the Fudle Era…

All they could see was a shrine. It looked like the shrine that Naraku ends up making as illusions for Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to be tricked. Although it seems that this was the right one. The scene seemed to zoom in on a certain room where Kagura and Naraku were actually having a civil conversation without fighting. A rarity indeed. It was until Naraku started a new conversation. It was only this conversation that the group got to hear.

"Do you know why I call you my masterpiece?" he asked the random question.

"No…not really." She didn't know. Heck! She didn't even know he called her that.

"Kagura, did you know that your not as young as you think?"

"What do you mean by that?" she spat a little offended

"Your soul was born about seven years ago. I was so intent on making sure that I could destroy the world that I created you. Kagura it took me about seven years to make you. That is why I call you my masterpiece."

"You never told me…" She said while bowing her head in masked sadness.

"There is another thing that I have been meaning to tell you. Kagura…you may seem to be the wind on the outside however on the inside you are ablaze." He said while reaching over and tilting her head up and looking straight into her eyes.

"Remember Kagura, only you can find the fire within."

Kagome and the other's couldn't believe it. Now it made sense why they were given that information. Questions rose in Kagome's mind. 'If Sesshomaru and Kagura are the guardians of the two main elements then…who is there child? Is he or she still alive?' she thought to herself. All of the sudden she remembered that Totosai said something about past, present and future…they just saw the past and present. She knew that they would have to go through this two more times since there was three of them remembering. She knew that the future was next and she could only imagine what was in store for them.

Meanwhile at the Higurashi Shrine

Souta sighed. He didn't know anything about his ancestors! Yet still he had to do a essay on the shine's guardian…he didn't even know they had one! Sighing again he decided that he would have to go to his gramps for help. Walking downstairs he went to the kitchen and found no one but his mama. He could see she was making his favorite dish…shrimp scampi! Just the smell of it made his mouth water. He walked over to his mother and was about to ask her something until she started first.

"What is it Souta?" she asked sweetly.

"Have you seen gramps?"

"He's down in the basement dear, but why do you need him?"

"I need to know if we have a guardian of the shrine."

"Of course we do in face Souta, I'll give you a little hint."

"What!" he asked actually getting excited.

"There are actually two guardians of the shrine."

"Wow. Get outta hear!" he said a little disbelieving.

"Yes, now go see your grandfather."

"Yes mama."

Racing through the house and finding the basement door. He swung it open and flew down the steps. He found his grandfather waxing off a statue that he had never seen before. He took a good look at it. It was a woman and she had extremely long hair that came down past her knees, and had a braid on the side. Although she was armed with a bow and arrow that were about as tall as Souta, she had eyes that were kind and warm that the summer breeze. Souta couldn't believe it, he was crushing on a statue! Who was she he wondered.

"Hey gramps! Who's that?" he asked

"This is the guardian of our shrine Souta. In the ancient scrolls it says that this woman was the founder and protector of this shrine. She married a youkai slayer and had children, so she decided that she would build a shrine to be able to teach her children in the advanced arts of priestesses. She was the best there ever was Souta. In fact she was so magnificent that it was said that she was the reincarnation of her grandmother Midoriko the woman who made the sacred jewel. However she had her own soul and was gifted with such astounding powers because of her parents. Before she died she made a vow that she would forever watch over her bloodline until the end of the world." He told his grandson.

"So in a way she is like my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother?" he asked curiously

"Yes Souta, I guess you could say that."

"Then why don't we have those kind of powers?"

"Souta lets just say that each woman in the family, and there is quite a few, only get gifted with these powers. You know how strong your sister is?"

"Yeah."

"Each generation it gets remarkably weaker. So can you imagine how great she was?"

"Wow. She must've been undefeated."

"She was."

It was then that Souta noticed that there was another statue behind his grandpa. He pointed to it and asked.

"Ok. Who's that?"

"Oh! Oh, oh my, how could I forget him?"

"Who is he?"

"He, Souta is probably the most strongest person to ever walk the face of the earth."

"Um…could you explain?" he asked as he saw his grandfather pulling out the other statue. As soon as Souta laid eyes on it he knew that the being that was sculpted for the statue was not human. However, something was different with him though. Souta felt the need to bow, to a statue? It was just a piece of rock carved to look like someone noble. He had fine features and was most exquisite being that Souta had ever saw.

"He is not of humans Souta…but of the dogyoukai clan. He can fell a hundred and save a hundred. He was known as the greatest purebred dog youkai to ever walk the earth." He said with pride.

"So why do we have a statue of this guy?" He asked eyeing the statue.

"He is the guardian of our guardian." He said simply to his grandson.

"So he's a good guy."

"Deep down Souta, he always was…"

"Gramps?"

"Yes Souta? What is his name? What's her name too?" he said pointing to the beautiful priestess.

"The woman's name is Rin, and the lord here's is Sesshomaru."

A/N: Oh my look at this, were stopping so soon. I felt that the chapter dragged on a bit. Moreover, my fingers are hurting form guitar practice, violin practice, and piano practice today. All of that plus with me typing makes me even lazier that what I normally am. Please review the chapter it will be greatly appreciated. R&R
