Once again, I've decided that since I'm writing enough on the later chapters to give you guys another update! Thank you for all of the great reviews!

------------------------------------------------

"You smell like Kagome, and even of that mutt-faced demon! So who the hell are you?!" The male pressed on.

"Oh yeah! I remember my parents telling me about this guy! I totally forgot about him!" Kaede thought to herself.

"You must be Koga!" Kaede asked with a grin.

Koga was taken back, "How the hell do you know who I am?!"

"This will make a good running exercise!" Kaede thought happily.

"See you!" Kaede said as she sprinted off as fast as she could.

"Oh no you don't! Come on guys!" Koga ordered at his traveling friends, Ginta and Hakaku, as he stormed off after the girl.

"Come back here!" Koga yelled.

"Damn! He's even faster that I expected him to be!" Kaede thought as she saw him close in on her.

"Guess I'll just have to make this more interesting!" Kaede said as she picked up the pace and ran as fast as her legs allowed for.

Looking back, she saw that she was, indeed, gaining a good measured length from Koga.

"What's the matter?! Can't keep up with a mutt?!" Kaede teased as she started to hop up the side of a large, rocky cliff.

"Why you... Get back here!!" Koga's anger rose with every second that the girl had kept up a racing pace.

Kaede got over the top of the cliff and Koga raced over it just seconds after her and was caught off guard by the girl running at him and lunging with a back and forth of kicks and punches. Koga did his best to defend against any of the kicks and punches and tried to make a few of his own, only to be easily deflected by the girl.

"Come on Koga! I'm just a little girl! Can't you defend against someone like me?!" Kaede asked as she finally landed a punch and then sprinted off again.

"I'll get you!!!" Koga shouted at the top of his lungs as he, again, began to pursue the female.

Koga's anger grew so much in intensity that he actually started to run faster.

"Damn! He's catching up with me and I don't think that I'll be able to get away!" Kaede thought franticly.

Kaede tried her best to avoid the boy's advancing pace but she knew that because he was so angry that she had just made it all worse.

Koga finally caught up with the girl and he landed a kick in the middle of her back which landed her face down on the ground.

"Didn't think that I would get you huh?! Well what do you think of that?!" Koga asked as he stomped on the girl's back.

Kaede started to realize that maybe it wasn't a good idea to taunt Koga like that.

In between stompings, Kaede managed to get out a message to the angry wolf demon, "I'm...Kagome's... And InuYasha's... kid!"

That stopped Koga in the middle of his beatings.

"What did you just say?!" Koga asked in a shocked tone.

Kaede quickly stood up and backed up away from Koga.

"I didn't stutter!" Kaede said angry.

At that moment, Ginta and Hakaku arrived on the scene.

"Impossible! How could you be Kagome's child?! You look just as old as she is!" Koga pointed out.

"Well then, you tell me! I smell like Kagome and InuYasha, so tell me who I am then?!" Kaede asked as she caught her breath.

Koga took a good look at her as well as take in her scent. She had Kagome's black hair, but her eyes were bright amber-colored like the half breed's eyes. Her ears were shaped somewhat pointed, but if you first thought her to be a human you would never had known the difference, and her scent was strongly, that of Kagome's... And InuYasha's.

"Well there's only one way that you would be the kid of Kagome's and only if you were able to notice that one thing, would I start to believe you!" Koga said in an "I told you so" tone of voice.

Kaede grinned widely and said, "What? You mean you want me to tell you about your two jewel shards?"

"HUH?!" Koga and the other two looked at the girl in amazement.

"The two shards that you have in your legs! One in each leg, you're using them to enhance the strength, because you can't rely on your own wimpy strength!" Kaede taunted.

"How dare you!" Koga yelled.

"She can sense my jewel shards! And she even taunted at me the same way as that mutt-faced InuYasha would!...What the hell is going on here?!" Koga thought to himself.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Sango!" Miroku said happily as he came upon her and Kirara on a hill, not far from the well.

"What are you doing out here by yourself?" he asked her.

She looked back to see him and said, "Just thinking I guess."

Miroku sat down next to her and looked up at the, now, reddish sunset.

"How do you think that Kagome's family is taking the news?" Miroku asked.

"Well, they haven't run back before the agreed time, so I imagine that it must not have gone all bad," Sango replied.

There was an awkward moment before Miroku asked, "How are you feeling?"

"...Better..." Sango said quietly.

"So what exactly is bothering you Sango?" Miroku finally asked.

"Well I... overheard you talking with Kaede the other night. I heard her say that we were to die not long after she was born. But she... she never said what happened to Kohaku..."

"Well, you said that you believe that he's no longer under Naraku's hold. So I imagine that he must have taken his chances to kill Naraku himself. But, who knows as to whether he met his own fate with Naraku as we might," Miroku stated.

Sango then realized that, she too, would meet a fate. And that it was finally setting in.

"What are we going to do Miroku?" Sango asked.

"I'm not sure. We still have some time to plan against this but it's like Kaede said. Since she's been here she's said a lot of things that may or may not change the future. Who knows? She may already have changed our own fates, including that of Kohaku's." Miroku tried to comfort the woman.

"I hope you're right about that... I hope you're right..." Sango said.

----------------------------------------------------

Shippo walked into Kaede's hut, where the old woman was cooking. The demon child then sat down on the floor with an exhausted look about him.

"What's troubling you Shippo?" The old woman asked.

"I'm so bored! Everyone's gone! Miroku's looking for Sango and Kirara, Kagome and InuYasha are in Kagome's era, and no one knows where Kaede went off to. No one's here!" Shippo stated sadly.

"Well, Sango and Miroku should be back soon after sunrise, and InuYasha, Kagome and Kaede should be back before the end of three days. So don't worry, they'll be back sooner than you believe.

Shippo sighed and said, "I hope so!"

-----------------------------------

For the Next Chapter!

"What is it that you plan to do to keep protecting Kagome as the year's progress? Do have any savings? Do you have a house?"

"What are you talking about?" InuYasha was confused.

The old man sighed and said, "That means that I'll be the one to take care of all of this. Her mother and I will take care of her and the child and what will you do?"

InuYasha didn't think about all of this.

"Well, I thought that we would spend most of our time in the past, we really don't need to worry about schooling and "tests" like Kagome had to worry about."

"You fool! What will happen when it's time for the child to be born? Where do you think that Kagome will go? A hospital! Expenses of that nature are quite high!"

"Well... I could find a way to make the money! I'm sure of it!" InuYasha became confident.

"And where will you raise the child?" The old man pressed on.

"What do you mean? In the past, of course!" InuYasha replied with ease.

"In the past? With demons lurking around every corner? With all of the dangers that you've already put my grand-daughter through, you would be willing to put the same dangers upon my great grandchild, at such a young age, as well?" The old man finally blurted it out.

InuYasha was completely knocked off of his high horse. He didn't even think about the dangers of the past.
