The scene sat still on a young looking couple, at their bedside with their young child. A young woman with beautiful long raven black locks holding yet another young female, her hair a shade lighter due to her fathers hair.

The father held a content smile staring down at his precious people. His long, snow white colored hair, purely natural, and not at all old by facial standards, wrapped his arm around his love and kissed her chastely on her head, his body thoroughly and passionately pleased.

-Year 2004-

Down in the area of Tokyo, Japan, farther looking into the surface of the earth where humans reside, was a normal looking home on Sunset Shrine. But on the inside, it was anything but normal.

"Kagome! Where are you, Kagome?" Kun-Loon Higurashi screamed out, terrified. She just lost her husband, she didn't ever want to lose her baby too!

"Kagome," She cried, "Please if you can hear mommy, answer her; Please honey!" A hand rested on her side, scaring her even more.

It was a police officer, coming to investigate the disappearance of young Kagome. "We noticed the well had been tampered with; opened and everything. The dogs said her scent was down the well, but oddly enough, she isn't there."

Covering her mouth, she choked back a strangled sob. Her baby... 'Oh kami-sama, please let her be safe where ever she is.'

Kun-Loon prayed deeply, never noticing her father standing next to her and doing the same. "Mommy...Oji-chan...help me!" They gasped, running to the well.

"Kagome-chan, is that you honey?" Silence and heavy breathing from anxiety were the only things blaring in their ears. A nearby police dog barked, sniffing the ground incessantly and pawing at the well.

"...Sesshoumaru?"

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

After being safely returned home, the police and co. left for their own home. Kun-Loon wouldn't let go of Kagome, asking where she was, how she got into the well, ect., etc.

Drawing a bath, cleaning up her messy wounds from various thorns, and getting her dressed for a nap, Kagome fell asleep with the thought of Sesshoumaru, Touga, and Riouga.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Touga paced around the camp.

Sesshoumaru was asleep next to Riouga whom was contemplating about Kagome. She came and left in a matter of moments, but what if she never came back? What if she never did return into their mediocre lives once more and that was all of a fluke?

"Riouga, stop thinking. You'll wake the children." Touga smirked, teasing his elder brother. Turning red, he slowly got up and placed his hoari over Sesshoumaru, before going to Touga and giving him a noogie.

"Laugh all you want, but at least I don't look like I have to soil myself when I think." They laughed brother-like, settling down.

"Actually, you looked pale. Like you had seen Father from his grave," Touga told truthfully. "I was worried."

"I as well. The young female- Kagome. How can we tell that we'd be able to have her with us once more?" Touga look solemn.

"I don't know, but she told us in truth that she shall once again return. Perhaps where she is from she can get help, heal and return fully healthy."

They sighed. They didn't know when she returned, they loved her already like their own. And they both secretly wanted Sesshoumaru to have mated in the future. But without her here, what would be of him?

What would be of them?

Owari.
