SORRY GUYS, DIDN'T REALIZE I HAD REPEATED INFORMATION! HERE'S THE REST OF THE REAL CHAPTER! (Read the bottom, sorry if it sucks)

`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`

"What if I go with InuYasha?" I asked Kagome as she made lunch while I was supposed to work on my writing skills. Key part was 'supposed to', instead I was using the strange pen to draw on the paper I had.

"Not this time," Kagome responded with a smile as she cooked the fish Souta and I had gotten earlier. "Now, finish your work. Both of you." She said and I looked over at Souta as he tried to look innocent while hiding his hand held game under his leg.

"Hey, sis, do you remember how to solve radical equations for real numbers?" Souta asked making me blink slowly.

"What?" I asked him in confusion. "Was that even Japanese?" I asked him as Kagome turned away from the fish to snag Souta's paper and look it over.

"First you should solve for the root of the radical then use order of operations for the rest." Kagome said making me rub my head as I felt a headache start to form. "Let's see how much you've done." Kagome said and before I could snatch the paper away she took it and looked at it. The paper was a picture of myself standing on top of InuYasha after a fight and I was the winner for once. Leaning forward, I tried to snatch the paper back and hide it under my legs.

"You saw nothing!" I snapped as Kagome covered her mouth and started to laugh into her hand, while her other hand held the paper over my head. "I mean it!" I told her as she shook her head and just smiled at me.

"It's alright, Shippo did the same thing when he was younger. Although his usually involved Kouga and the rest of us." Kagome said as she looked at the picture with laughter in her eyes. "Although you're very good at drawing, you should work on your writing skills." Kagome told me while standing up and walking over to the back wall with my drawing.

"What are you going to do with that?" I asked her slowly and watched as she pinned it onto the wall for everyone to see.

"It's going right here so everybody can see it. Now, both of you, back to work!" She said with a clap of her hands while walking back over to the fish. I glared at Kagome's back for a second before looking over at Souta as he busily wrote numbers all over the paper. After watching him for a minute I frowned and poked him.

"How'd you do that?" I asked him, looking at the problems and remembering absently how Kagome had taught me some math and how different combinations of the numbers made them double. "Shouldn't that be different?" I asked pointing at the dash seven in front of the x eight.

"What do you mean?" Souta asked and I moved closer to show him.

"See? This should be one not dash five and six." I told him and he snorted at me, making me glare at him.

"First off, it's negative fifty-six and secondly it's right because I'm multiplying." Souta told me with a smirk.

"No, it's dash five and six and what's mul-multa-ply-ing?" I asked while slowly sounding out the word.

"Negative fifty-six and multiplying." Souta corrected me, making me punch his arm. "Stop that! Now look, with multiplying you increase it by what ever number is shown. See how the negative seven is being multiplied by the positive eight?" He asked me tapping each number with his weird stick.

"What's positive and negative?" I asked him and he looked at me blankly before frowning slightly.

"Okay, positive is how much you have while negative is how much you don't have. It's kind of like money. Positive shows how much you have while negative shows how much you owe." Souta explained to me and I nodded my head slightly to show I understood.

"But why would it be dash five and six?" I asked pointing at his answer as he face palmed and shook his head.

"Because when your multiplying a negative by a positive it always turns out as a negative." He told me. "Now if you have two negatives or two positives your answer will always be positive no matter what." He added and grabbed his bag and pulled out a bright red book.

"Here, these are all my notes explaining it. Look at it and see if you can understand it." He told me and went back to his work while I looked at the notes.

An hour later my head hurt but I thought I had gotten the basis of the notes, well gotten enough to know I didn't want to learn anymore of it.

"My head hurts." I thought as I rested my head on the table while Souta sat nearby with his feet propped up on the wall and Kagome went to go see Sango with Masaru. After another minute I turned my head to look at Souta. He was still playing that game from before and it seemed to have his undivided attention, meaning I was on my own for the moment.

"I'm bored..." I groaned mentally just as I heard someone walking towards the house. "Smells familiar...like a cat, and Dad's with whoever it is." I thought and got up to walk to the door.

"Where're you going?" Souta asked as I pulled the door open slightly to look outside so I could see who was there.

"Dad's home and we have company." I told Souta as I looked around carefully as the scents grew stronger and I could hear the sounds of talking. "I'm going outside." I told Souta and walked outside, leaving my shoes inside as I avoided the wet patches of mud and snow on the ground.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" I heard Souta call out as I jumped up into what I had deemed as my tree and settled down in it's branches to watch InuYasha and the other person approach.

`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`

"So, Kagome and the others are in danger." InuYasha said to summarize everything Setsuna had told him during their walk back to InuYasha's hut.

"Yes. It would seem like that." Setsuna told him while scratching Riku beneath his chin. "I suggest finding a safe place for you and your pack to lay low for a while." He added for good measure, his face turned towards his neko matta partner but his eyes watching InuYasha closely.

"My pack is fine. I'll have them disperse and lay low on my own terms." InuYasha said in his usual gruff tone.

"Yes, I understand but what of your pack's pups? Surely you wish to protect them?" Setsuna pushed the topic and swallowed slightly at the look of warning InuYasha was now giving him.

"The pups of my pack are my priority. Don't you dare think I won't protect them." InuYasha growled lowly and Setsuna stepped back and bowed slightly in respect.

"Forgive me for my carelessness then." Setsuna said calmly and looked at InuYasha as he straightened up. "I believe now would be a good time for me to seek out your elder brother. Head the warning InuYasha." Setsuna said and flashed away without another word, leaving InuYasha to his thoughts.

"You can come out," he said calmly after a minute of silence and looked over at Akari as she dropped down from her tree and dusted herself off. "How much of that did you hear?" InuYasha asked her as she crossed her arms and turned her head to the side.

"Enough to know that we're in trouble again." She told him and gave him a look that made him blink in surprise. "We're all going to be alright, right?" She asked him with a look of fear and uncertainty in her usually stubborn eyes.

"We'll be fine Pup. Ain't no one going to be able to get any of you." He told her with his usual cockiness as he ruffled her hair before lifting her up onto his shoulders, earning an 'eep' from her as she grabbed onto his hair tightly. "Besides, you'll be fine where you're going." He added for good measure as he walked towards the hut just as Souta came stumbling outside.

"InuYasha! Sis went to go see Sango," he told InuYasha while grinning and rubbing the back of his head.

"Well let's go get her. I got to talk to that Monk and Sango anyway." InuYasha told him with a shrug as Akari laid her head down on his. "Go get your stuff, after we go see that Pervert we'll be heading to your time." He told Souta, who gave him a look of confusion before nodding and running back into their hut.

"I don't want to go there. It smells bad and it hurts my ears." Akari told InuYasha with a huff as she blew air and tickled his ears.

"To bad, you're going to be staying there for a while." InuYasha told her as he started walking towards Sango and Miroku's. "Hurry up Souta!" He called over his shoulder and heard a small crash followed by cursing before he heard Souta run out of his house, slamming the door behind him.

"I hope you fixed whatever you broke." InuYasha told him and smirked at the red blush on the younger boy's face.

"Nothing broke." He muttered under his breath.

"Sure," Akari said in a teasing voice and InuYasha rolled his eyes at the arguement that was bound to start as soon as Souta responded.

`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`

"So we have a mercenary possibly coming after Kagome and the rest of us?" Sango asked InuYasha as all of the kids, minus the two babies, played outside.

"Yeah, basically." InuYasha told the group with a shrug as Kagome bit her lip and Miroku starred into his cup of tree.

"What do you suggest?" Miroku asked him with a serious look on his face.

"I'm not sure, you guys should go stay with Kohaku and help him out in the Demon Slayer's Village. I'll take Kagome and the pups to Souta's time, then come back here and go warn Shippo and my idiot brother." InuYasha said after a minute of thought.

"I don't like that you'll be moving around like that." Kagome said with worry on her face as she looked at InuYasha.

"Keh! Don't worry about me wench, I'll be fine." InuYasha told her with a grin before looking at the others. "I'm thinking we should lay low for about a month and see what happens." InuYasha said with seriousness.

"Alright then, we'll leave with our three in the morning. What about you?" Miroku said with a nod as Sango picked up their son, Uryu, and placed him in her lap.

"I'm going ahead and taking Kagome and the pups tonight." InuYasha told Miroku and looked over at Kagome, who was running her fingers through Masaru's hair.

"As much as I don't like it, it is a good plan. Just be careful everyone." Kagome said and looked both Miroku and Sango in the eye.

"You make it sound like we're going off into battle!" Sango said with a light laugh in an attempt to break the tense atmosphere. It worked, though barely and all four friends got up to go their separate ways.

"We'll see you soon!" Kagome told Sango as she and her family walked to the old well that would take them to her brother's time for next month.

"Alright! Be careful Kagome!" Sango called back as the small family vanished amoung the trees.

`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`

"Just make sure to visit us as often as you can." Kagome told InuYasha as we stood beside the well an hour after arriving in Souta's time. After we had gotten hear Masaru had started to cry, not that I blamed him, and Kagome's mom and shown up and helped Kagome calm him down before talking to InuYasha while Souta had dragged me off with the promise of flying around the Shrine on his hover boards.

"I will, don't worry." InuYasha said and I gagged when he kissed Kagome. "Anyway, behave Akari or I'll make sure you'll regret it." He told me, while thumping my ears lightly.

"Hey!" I yelled at him as he smirked at me before diving down the well. "I still don't see why I can't go with him." I muttered as Kagome sighed and looked at the well sadly.

"Don't worry about it right now. He'll be back before you know it." She told me but I got the feeling she was mostly saying it for herself.

"This is going to be a long month." I thought with a shake of my head as I jogged out of the well house with Kagome following behind me a minute later.
