A/N: So I'm back with more, yes I know no one is reviewing…maybe because I suck so badly? Or you just don't like it cuz the main character isn't Inuyasha, or Kagome…well oh well! My friends like it and that's all that really matters so blah to all you out there!

Chapter 4

Homecoming

When Ayame opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was the roof of the well house.

Yes I'm home!

She looked over to Sora whose eyes were wide with both excitement, and fear. Ayame reached for the rope ladder, or at least what was left of it and started up to her home, Sora right behind her. Before the two even got to the top the blue light repapered and Ayame knew her "parents" were right behind them. She didn't exactly know if she wanted to call them that yet…She shook her head and finished climbing out of the well. Jumping down, she ran to the door and threw it open with such violence it almost broke. The first thing she saw was her cousin sitting alone under the tree. Sukie looked up at the noise and her eyes widened at the sight of her older cousin.

"AYAME!" She screamed and ran over to greet her sister-like-cousin.

Ayame was almost thrown back into the well as Sukie practically jumped on her. Sukie was to busy suffocating her cousin to notice the three strangers behind her.

"Ayame you came home!" Sukie said now crying. "I thought you left because of me! I thought it was because I wore to much pink so I stopped wearing pink, but you didn't come back, so then I thought I would sleep in your room so you would come home just to yell at me, but you didn't so I was putting flyers up of you all over town, but no one called and." Sukie said frantically.

"Sukie calm down." Ayame said to her cousin.

Sukie sniffled and nodded. "I'm sorry it's just I'm so happy you came back." She finished then she finally realized the people behind them, and the fact that her cousin (after being missing for three days) came out of the well house which there was only one door to. She tilted her head to the side.

"Uhh Ayame…why did you come out of the well house, and ummm who are the strange people, and why are they dressed like they are from the olden days?" Sukie asked.

"I can explain it all in a little while, but first can we go inside? I want to see Uncle Souta, and Aunt Kimiko." Ayame said.

Sukie nodded making a "umhm" noise as she took her cousins hand and raced her inside with the trio of mystery people following behind them.

"Grandma came to visit as soon as we told her you were missing." Sukie said as she slid open the door and walked into the house.

Souta was the first to see his niece. He was sitting in the living room with Kimiko and their grandmother.

"Ayame!" Souta said and stood up to greet her, however before he got very far Sora, Kagome, and Inuyasha entered the house stopping him dead in his tracks.

His eyes widened, his mouth dropped open, and his face turned white.

"Sis." Was all he could say.

Sukie, who still didn't even know who they were turned ever so slowly and stared at the older of the two women; she dropped Ayame's hand and looked her aunt in the eye.

"You're Aunt Kagome?" She asked quietly.

Kagome nodded and smiled. "Yes."

"Wow, I've always wanted to meet you!" Sukie said and hugged her Aunt for the first time in her life.

Kagome who was taken aback by the young girls very sudden move just stood there for a minute before hugging back. Kimiko and a much older woman now stood by Souta's side.

"It's nice to finally see you again Kagome, Inuyasha." Kimiko said with a large smile.

Kagome nodded and then looked to the much older woman.

"Mama?"

"Oh Kagome!" The old woman cried and walked forward to greet her daughter. "And little Sora I presume?"

"That's Sora?" Souta asked.

"Yep! I'm Sora!"

After everyone had been acquainted or reacquainted the girls decided to leave the adults to themselves for a while. So the all decided to go to Ayame's room. However, Inuyasha decided he wanted to see his daughter's bedroom so he ventured forth with them. Walking into the room Sora was the most excited.

"So Ayame, what's it like here besides smelly?" Sora asked.

Ayame laughed while Sukie just smiled slightly not really understanding her new cousin's way of thinking.

"Well actually pretty cool. There lots of neat things here like TV, Computers, Videogames, Anime and lots of other stuff."

"Yeah like Ramen." Inuyasha said out of no where.

All three girls raised their eyebrows. "Ramen?" They said in unison.

"Yeah the instant noodles that Kagome always brought back to me before any of you were born."

"Daddy…be quiet." Sora said.

Inuyasha got a look on his face. "Don't tell me what to do! Or have you forgotten who the parent is."

"I don't see Mom anywhere." Ayame said.

"Hey!"

Sora and Ayame both laughed as they kept poking fun at their father. Sora walked over to Ayame's wall and pulled a sword out of the wall display.

"Hey you have swords?" She asked.

"Yeah, I am training with them in school." Ayame replied as she went to her closet, pulled out a black backpack, and started stuffing it with cloths and other personal items.

"What's this?" Sora asked walking over to Ayame's desk and poking the laptop.

"That is my best friend." Ayame replied.

"Really? You have some pretty weird friends." Sora said as Kagome entered the room.

Kagome walked inside and frowned.

"Wow, it sure has changed since I was here." She said looking at the new deco of the bedroom. The red and black color scheme was a bit different then her old pink one.

"Sorry mom, I hate pink." Ayame said as an explanation.

"I like it," Inuyasha said. "It's red."

"I wanted it black, but uncle Souta wouldn't let me." Ayame said throwing her now full backpack carelessly to the bed.

She walked over to the computer and turned it on. She watched as Sora's eyes lit up.

"It's alive!" She screamed and ran for cover.

"Sora, it's not gunna bite you I swear." Kagome said to her daughter who had drawn her arrow.

"If you shoot my computer with an arrow I will shoot one at your head." Ayame said coldly, then turning to her mother. "Can we stay here for a few days?"

"I planed on it. I missed everyone so much I thought it might be nice to catch up." Kagome said.

"I still don't get how jumping through a well will take you back in time." Sukie said.

"I never truly understood it myself Sukie so don't feel like a stranger." Kagome replied as she leaned on Inuyasha.

As the day persisted Ayame and Sukie had introduced Sora to many new things like, the shower, which she thought was a water snake. The TV, which according to her was the strangest box she had ever laid eyes on. Anime, which she became scarily addicted to. Buyo, who liked to claw her face, and last but not least (on Inuyasha's request) ramen. Everything seemed to be perfectly fine that was until Ayame's school friends showed up. Sukura, Amiko, Kami, and Minako.

"Ayame!" Kami cried as she ran into the room.

"Hi guys!" Ayame said as her friends all barged into her bedroom.

Each and everyone of them smiled as they saw her. Kagome who was still in her daughter's room looked to everyone and she smiled as she remembered her old friends.

"Guys, this is my mom Kagome Higurashi." Ayame said.

"You're Ayame's mom?" Minako asked.

"Yes." Kagome said.

"Then you went to school with my dad!" she cried out in excitement. "Hojo, that's my father, oh and my mom Ayumi."

"Wow, Ayumi and Hojo huh?" Kagome said shocked at the fact that two of her old friends were married with children.

"Yea I bet they would love to see you!"

Kagome smiled. "I would like to see them as well."

"Hold on I'll give them a call." Minako said as she pulled a cell phone out, which made Sora go crazy.

"How can she talk to someone through that is she a witch?" Sora asked Sukie who just laughed.

Ayame shook her head, she decided her room was getting very crowded at the moment so she took her leave to go outside, but little did she know a very odd surprise would be waiting for her.
