+Re-cap+

"You knew .. Kagome told you and not me! … Our 9 year old son and not her own husband .. She … she … she did something I would do!" InuYasha mumbles to himself as he blindly walks into the forest. "Daddy … Dad … was it something I said?" Isamu calls out to InuYasha as he and Yuu run to catch up.

+KAGOME'S ERA+

"Mum! Would you please stop fussing! And leave my ears alone!" Kagome says sitting at the table while her mother keeps sitting at the table while her mother keeps serving her dish after dish of food and rice. "I'm your mother! It's my job to fuss!" Mrs Higurashi says to her bringing another dish of Ramon (A/N: I'm not sure of the spelling of that one … so help me out here) out to her. "And I'm sorry sweetie … but their just so cute!" she tells her daughter as she places the bowel down and reaches over to begin scratching and rubbing Kagome's white ears. "MU-UM!" Kagome says as she flattens her ears to her head. "Oh sorry hunny!" Mrs Higurashi replies taking her hands away just as Souta walks in the door. "Oh good Souta … you're back, is it done?" their mother says as she set's up a place at the table for him. "Yes mother." Souta replies keeping his head down to avoid looking at Kagome. "What's done?" Kagome asks. "Oh nothing, nothing. You should be off to bed; I'll give you a hand to change the sheets if you like." Her mother says cheerfully. "Thank you for the offer, buts it's already late, and I said I would be back before nightfall, so I best be going, but I will be -" "That's not going to be possible sweetie, Souta sealed the well, and you can't leave us again. Your friends can still come and go as they please, but you can't go." Her mother is interrupted by Kagome. "What! SOUTA why did you do that? Only InuYasha and I can travel through the well now that the jewel is gone!" Kagome yells as she stands suddenly heading towards the door. "Souta did this because I asked him to, he's become quite the priest, your grandfather would be proud! But I can't bear to loose you again for another 11 years! You wouldn't understand Kagome; it's a mother's love for their children that you won't understand." Mrs Higurashi says as she tries to place a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "No mother … YOU don't understand! I have to get back to InuYasha! I have to get back to my … Sango's kids! You can't make me stay!" Kagome scream's as she runs out the door, her long silver hair swishing behind her. She keeps running until she reaches the well shed. Slamming open the door Kagome bursts into the shed and jumps into the well, expecting the bluey misty stuff (A/n: I didn't know how else to explain it lol so thanks to my mate for her fantastic description!) to surround her like normal, but only to feel the ground under her butt. "Owww! Dammit … Souta has become a good priest! What am I going to do? Oh InuYasha!"

+INUYASHA'S ERA+

"KA-GO-ME!" InuYasha yells as he runs heading to the well. "If she isn't climbing out of that well when I get there she is going to wish she hadn't gone through it in the first place!" he thinks to himself as he approaches the well. After a quick look around him he makes the conclusion she isn't there. "Stupid wench … she's ganna pay!" he yells as he jumps into the well.

+KAGOME'S ERA+

InuYasha feels his feet touch the bottom of the well on Kagome's side. Tink tink InuYasha's ears twitch as he hears a noise behind him. Looking behind him he see's the source of that noise, a small bead ring. "Kagome!" he yells as he snatches up the ring, jumps out of the well and runs to the house. "…just not interested mother -" "Kagome!" InuYasha yells bursting into the house interrupting Kagome's sentence with her mother. "InuYasha … what are you going here?" she says standing up. "I'm the one asking questions here! What do you think you're still doing here? Its way past night fall and you're not back there! Oh further more -" InuYasha is cut off by Kagome talking. "InuYasha if you will just let me explain." "Kagome, I'm not the one who said she would be back by a certain time and then not show up! And as I said before … what is the meaning of this?" InuYasha says pulling Kagome's wedding ring out of his kimono. At the sight of the ring they hear Kagome's mother gasp. "Is that what I think it is" they hear her mumble. "Oh no…" Kagome moans when she hears her mother's voice. "InuYasha" she says warningly. "Don't InuYasha me Kagome! You told me from the day Kiade married us that I was never to take off the ring and now you go and do it!" he says clearly becoming frustrated as his ears begin to flatten. "Shut-up InuYasha!" Kagome tells him with a look of annoyance on her face. "Don't tell me to shut-up Kagome! Because of you I've had to leave our kids with Sango, so I can come take you back! So -" "INUYASHA SIT BOY!" Kagome yells at him interrupting his sentence. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR? Kagome you have some explaining to do!" InuYasha yells at her. "You BOTH have explaining you do" Mrs Higurashi says finally speaking pulling another seat up to the table for InuYasha.

+An hour later+

"Mum I'm not a child anymore!" yells Kagome.

"Yes you are … you're my daughter"

"What's your point … I'm 27 Mother!"

"You're still my daughter that's my point!"

"Umm… can I say something?" InuYasha tries to say, with no luck.

"I may be your daughter … but I can make my own decisions!"

"Quite obviously you can't if you've gone and gotten married! What have I always taught you about doing something just because people pressure you into it?"

"EXACTLY!… You can't make me stay!"

"I can do what I please! I'm your mother! And I was talking about you letting that … I don't know what to call him … he's not human and not demon … but still you let him force you to marry him!"

"His name is InuYasha!" Kagome says in a growl, her ears flattening.

"In my defence Kagome chose to say I do … but I'm glad she did! Your era may think of Kagome as a child now, or when we married … but my time, Kagome is a much respected miko by our village and myself!... I will not let you insult my Kagome!" InuYasha says standing up. "Kagome we're going home … now!" he says taking her hand and starts for the door. "KAGOME HIGURASHI … you sit down … don't you walk away from me!" Mrs Higurashi yells at her daughter when Kagome reaches the door. "Tashio." Kagome replies to her mother.

"What? What did you say?"

"My name is Kagome Tashio. Ta-Shi-O!" she answers her mother before letting the door close behind her and InuYasha. "His Kagome … I always knew he loved and cared for me … even before he proposed … but this is different" she thinks as he mind wanders off to the past.
