"Well, I've got what I need..." "More then enough." "Anyway, see you all in...when I see you." "Bye now dear, do be careful." Kagome waved to her mother as both her and Inuyasha lept into the well and traveled through the time vortex to the past.
"Kun Loon?" "Oh! Yes?" "Where is my granddaughter?" "Oh, she's gone away for a few days." "Does she always go away like this?" "Oh, yes, its very common, sometimes she goes away for months, but she always comes back." "You just allow her to do this?" "Yes, she's a very trustworthy young woman," "I can see that, however, its those men out there, that are not to trusted." "Oh, but you don't have to worry about Inuyasha, he's as trustworthy as they come." "How can you tell?" "Hm, they've been together since Kagome was 15, she's nearly 18 now, and they still have not done 'anything' if you catch what I'm saying." "I do, and that is rather remarkable, considering that boys these days are...wait, what did you say his name was?" "Inuyasha." "How on Earth did she meet up with him!" "Huh? Well...hold on, how on Earth do you know about Inuyasha?" "That my dear, is my buisness, not..." "Hold it right there!" "Kun Loon?" "I'm sorry, but you maybe Ryoko's mother, but Kagome is my daughter." "Kun Loon, this is not a good thng for you to know..." "Know what?" "Ha...I wish not to tell you..." "Then how about I ask Sarah?" "You wouldn't dare!" "Oh, when it comes to finding out somethng important about the man that my daughter is in love with, I do dare, and I will ask Sarah!" "No! You must not!" "Why? Tell, me what is so damn secretive! Either you tell me, or I'll ask Sarah!" "Alright! Alright, I'll tell you...but you must not get angry with me, nor with Ryoko." "I swear I wont." "Alright, then, please sit down." Kagome's mother sat down and listened to what her late husband, Ryoko's mother had to say.

"Kagome! Can I have this?" "What is it?" "This candy pop thing." "Oh, sure, go ahead." "Thanks!" Shippo said happily and ran off to play. "You spoil that kid far too much." "Hm? Oh, come on now, its a mother's job to spoil their kids..." "Ah, he's not your kid." "Be that as it may, I still care for him as if he were my child." "Hm..." "Weren't you ever spoiled?" "Not since my mom died no." "Oh, I'm sorry..." "It's okay...hey! Let go of the ears!" "Hee, hee! I'm sorry, but I love playing with them." "Yeah, well, stop, please." Kagome sighed, and reluctantly stopped, "Oh, okay." "Thank you..." "So, why don't oyu like having your ears rubbed?" "I just don't like it..." "Oh, really?" "Yes, really...ooh...hey...hey stop!" "Hee, hee, hee! See, you like it, don't you?" Inuyasha made sort of purring noises as Kagome rubbed his ears. "Aww...you...bitch..." "Well, I can stop if you..." "I never said stop!" "Oh, well, then alright." Kagome continued to rub Inuyasha's ears. "Hmm...that feel nice..." "Wow, you're so relaxed, just after a nice ear rubbing...thats so cute!" "Just shut up and keep rubbing." Kagome sighed and smiled, "Alright." She said softly and kissed his head, making Inuyasha blush. "Why'd you do that...mmm!" "So that I could do that." Inuyasha now remained silent, while Kagome continued to rub his ears.
"Hm, good-night Shippo," "Good-night Kagome..." "Sleep well." Kagome said softly as she tucked Shippo into the sleeping bag she'd brought back for him. She smiled and went to sit with Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku outside around a fire.
"Ha..." "Hey, Kagome?" "Yeah?" "Why were you asking about those kids?" "Hm? Oh, right. Well, my teacher read this story to us and we have to do some sort of report on what we thought of the story." "Ah...someone made it into a story!" "Mhm." "Huh...what did you think of it?" "Truthfully, I don't know. My friends though liked it alot." "Ah...are they those really 'weird' girls?" "Yep, thats them." "Huh..." "They really liked it." "Huh, why not you?" "Like I said, I truthfuly don't know what to think about it, except that it was well written and had a really good plot...and characters." Kagome said.
"You wouldn't be talking about the story of the kidnapped twins, would you?" "Mhm, my teacher decided to read it in class." "I've heard bits about it from my father, before he died." "Oh?" "He said it was a very large and long battle, that lasted a very long time." Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah, it did last long, I was there." "Really?" "Yes, Sesshoumaru and I were there and stopped Naraku from taking both the twins. Unfortuneatly he got one, but not the other." "You mean one of the girls did not fall into Naraku's hands?" "Thats right." "I see...so then you knew of the Empress?" "Not really, I'd heard about from the humans in the villge, but I never got to meet her." "Oh." "I only met two humans that served the Empress. Kara, and I believe your grandfather, Miroku." "My grandfather, Miyatsu...now that is intersting." "Theres something I remember that happened that changed alot." "That was?" "Time stood still to all humans." "What..." "I don't know how, or what happened, really, but only Sesshoumaru, the other demons and myself were able to got through time as it should be, the humans, all humans bacame like living statues." "Thats...thats impossible!" "Hey! it's possible, I was there." "Then what of the girl that you took?" "I have no idea, why she wasn't affected, but she wasn't and it wasn't unil Sesshoumaru got into this battle with a demon, that she wandered off and was never found." "You searched for her then?" "Yeah..." "Why?" "I'd gotten used to having her around. Thats all." "Oh." "Did you know her name?" "Yeah," "What was it?" "Ah...her name was Kagome." They all looked to Kagome, who looked back. "What? Hey! It's just a coincidence!" "There is no such thing, you know that." "Ah...believe me, there is no way that I'm that kid, I just have the same name as her..." "..." "If I heard right in the story, the other girl was named Kikyo, wasn't she Inuyasha?" "Ah...I never knew her name..." "Oh..." Kagome sighed, "Look, I'm from the future, my mother's name is Kun Loon, and my father's name was Ryoko..." "Ryoko?" "Yeah...why? You don't know him do you?" Inuyasha sighed.
"Ryoko, is a demon. A demon that worked for Sesshoumaru." "What! My father was no demon!" "Ha...Kagome, Ryoko went missing around the same time the kid did." "What are you saying..." "I'm saying that it is possible, that Sesshoumaru knew where the kid had disapeared to and had, Ryoko sent to protect her, for as long as he possibly could." That means?" "That means, that it is very, very, possible that you are the other twin, that the Empress gave birth to." "Then that... that..." "Would make you not Kikyo's reincarnation, but her sister." "What about Keade?" "Hm...I don't know, we should ask her about it though." "Mhm, but lets let it wait till morning, it's awfully late." "Kagome is right, lets all go get some sleep, then we can ask her about it in the morning." "Agreed." "Wha...but...ah, fine." Inuyasha agreed and reluctantly followed Kagome into their hut, while the two married people, went to their own home.
"Inuyasha..." "What?" "Do you really think that I could be that girl?" "I don't know, its possible." "Hm...I don't know what to think about this...I mean at first I was in class listening to a story about it and now I find out that I might be one of the girls on the story!" "Alot to take in?" "Not to mention I find out that the man I thought was my real father all this time was actually a demon that worked for Sesshoumaru...yeah, thats a hell of alot to take in, in just one night." Kagome sighed and leaned against Inuyasha's chest. "Hey..." "Yeah?" "What if I am her? What then?" "I...I don't know..." "Would you let Sesshoumaru know?" "Hm..I'd probably have to, why?" "Don't know...it just feels strange." "What does?" "I've live this life...all my life with my mother, grandfather, grandmother and my father and Sota, now that I'm going to find out whether its been a fake life or not...thats not the best thing that a girl wants to have happen." "I guess." "What did you think of her?" "What?" "The kid...what did you think of her?" "At times she was annoying, especially when he wouldn't stop touching my ears." Kagome giggled and snuggled closer. "There were also times when you could tell that she wanted more then just me and Sesshoumaru looking after her, and I think thats why she wandered off like she did." "Hm..." "So, I guess you could say that...huh?" Inuyasha looked downa dn noticed that Kagome had fallen asleep. "Ha...fine, sleep time huh?" Inuyasha went to lay her down, but she latched onto his ears, making it impossible for him to lay her down the way he was going to, so he groaned and laid down, with her in his arms. He looked around and at the night sky, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
