InuYasha sat on the car port and watched Aurora running around the yard in pursuit of the beagle she called "Boo" while Kagome blessed her brother and his fiancée. He sighed for the millionth time and continued to berate himself for making Kagome suffer as he had. You bastard hanyou! You should just leave and never return! After what you did… She still forgives you… Damn I…

"Hey." Aurora poked him. He jumped and shook his head. "You were zoned out. I was getting worried." He "Kehed" and smirked. "I'm the 'Great InuYasha' remember?" Aurora rolled her eyes, "not that great." The laughter on InuYasha's face died instantly and he sighed once more.

Kagome walked out at this point and smiled gently at the couple. "Baby girl what do you want for dinner?" Aurora smiled widely, "Make that chicken and rice stuff I love please!" Kagome laughed quietly and nodded, "go inside and pull the chicken out of the freezer for me then. And no ice cream Rory!" She yelled over her shoulder as the girl ran through the small garage and into the house.

Kagome took Aurora's seat beside InuYasha and sighed. "How did you get through the well?" InuYasha blinked, "Keade broke the seal. It took her over a year… She said there was so much rage fueling the seal that it was nearly impossible." Kagome nodded. "How's Sango and Miroku?" A smile flashed across InuYasha's face; yet it held no happiness, only regret. "Expecting kid number three." Kagome smiled and looked over her shoulder towards the door her daughter had run through. "Shippo?"

"Found himself a girl. He won't talk to me though."

The next name caused her to wince at the venom that laced with her word. "Kikyo?" From the corner of her eye she saw InuYasha wince as well. "She's good… Naraku is dead… We um killed him about a year ago… Keade used the jewel shards to help open the well." Kagome nodded and looked at Boo, who was laying on the car port sleeping. Like mother like dog. She laughed at her own thought and remembered find Aurora and Boo sleeping in the grass many days. "I think I'd like to go back and see Sango again." She said. InuYasha looked at her in amazement and nodded. "Whose going to watch Aurora?"

"She's coming."

"No! Just because Naraku is dead doesn't mean there aren't plenty of demons that won't kill a girl!"

"That's not your decision InuYasha. Aurora is my daughter. She can go."

"Go where momma?" Kagome cursed herself mentally. She wasn't sure if she was ready to go back to feudal Japan but now that Aurora had over heard… "Do you want to visit Aunt Sango?" Excitement lit her face up like a Christmas tree. "Yeah!" She blinked and the excitement vanished, "but isn't Kikyo," Kagome winced at the way Aurora said the name, "going to be there?" Kagome nodded and sighed. "Probably Rory." Aurora shot InuYasha a dark look and nodded. She's mature for her young age… Kagome thought with a smile. But then again I was slaying demons at her age… The anomaly hit Kagome like a ton of bricks. "Aurora we aren't staying any longer then we have to. Understood?" The girl blinked at her mother's harsh tone. "Why momma?" Kagome sighed and felt bad for the tone so she softened it, "there are demons who want to kill you because you are m…" she glanced at InuYasha, "our child…" InuYasha blinked and looked over at Kagome, who refused to meet his eyes, than back to his flesh and blood he'd just met. "Let's go." He said standing up.
