AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay so first off BIG THANK YOU to LoveSesshomaru65 for Following this story and cookies to princess-j3ss for Reviewing. You two are MEGA AWESOMENESSS! So this is a short chapter, hopefully I will make it up to you latter in the week...

Again I don't own Inuyasha, but I do own this particular plot bunny and Sakura.

After being rained out of their campsite by the well there had been 14 demon slaying contracts for Inuyasha and Miroku, 10 villagers with the flu, 5 proposals for Rin's hand (which Sesshomaru promptly said no to), and a visit from Koga, Ayame and their brood which resulted in 4 fist fights between Inuyasha and Koga. And there was still 4 days left until the full moon.

In the meantime Sesshomaru had decided that both his younger siblings needed to learn hand to hand combat. Both had protested this but were swiftly cowed when Sesshomaru knocked them both on their asses using none of his natural abilities. In addition, Inuyasha had sword fighting lessons with Sesshomaru which the younger male both loved and hated.

"Ow..."

"Come on quit whining. I didn't hit you all that hard."

Inuyasha had just landed a powerful punch to Sakura's unguarded left side knocking her flat on her back and winded. He held out his hand to help her up. She took it and wiped the sweat off her face. He didn't even look remotely tired, even after the 3 hour sword lesson with Sesshomaru earlier. Where the hell did he get all that energy from?

"You need to keep your body turned more to the side. Your enemy will exploit every weakness you show him."

Sesshomaru lectured her as he adjusted Sakura's stance once she was back on her feet.

"This just feels so awkward."

"You will adjust."

Sesshomaru moved to his previous vantage point, as Inuyasha got into his stance again.

"Go."

It was another 3 hours later and Sakura had been thrown to the ground another 8 times, while she had only gotten Yasha twice. She seriously thought he handed those matches to her out of sympathy. Even so, Sesshomaru did say she was improving.

If I was allowed to use my sai Inuyasha would be on his back more times than he could count.

That night, after a long soak in the hot springs, Sakura passed out.

Sesshomaru watched as Sakura fell onto her futon and promptly started snoring softly.

"I do believe you wore her out, little brother."

"No, it was your drills that did that."

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were sitting in the corner playing GO; Shippo watching sleepily nearby. Sesshomaru had taught Inuyasha how to play and as it turned out Inuyasha was an excellent player. So far Sesshomaru was winning and it was Inuyasha's turn. He was studying the board looking for a way to kill Sesshomaru's stones near the center of the board. He failed to find one and decided to pass this turn.

"Your turn."

After looking at the board for two seconds Sesshomaru placed his white stone and captured a large amount of Inuyasha's stones. Realizing he had no way to make up the the massive loss of points with his few stones left, Inuyasha resigned.

"Another round?"

Sesshomaru nodded and set the board back up again. As he did, Sesshomaru thoughts turned once again to his failures concerning his two siblings. He had decided to breach the subject with Inuyasha but he truly didn't know how. By this point Shippo had passed out.

As Inuyasha studied the board to make his next move, Sesshomaru decided to try to bring it up casually.

"Inuyasha..."

"There you are. Yasha, come to bed, please."

Inuyasha looked up at his wife. She was obviously ready for bed and lately couldn't sleep with out him beside her. Inuyasha looked at his brother.

"You wanna finish this tomorrow or just start all over again?"

"We can restart tomorrow. Go ahead your mate needs you. I'll clean this up."

"Thanks."

He got up to follow Kagome back to their hut but stopped right at the door. He turned and looked back at his brother.

"You know what? I'm glad we're getting along now. It's nice having a brother."

Sesshomaru sat frozen, a black stone midway to its bowl. Did he hear that right? He didn't know what to think, didn't know what to say; he didn't even want to breathe if it meant disturbing the very air his brother's parting words sat in. At least now he knew Inuyasha would be open to repairing their familial bonds. Maybe they could truly be a pack?

The last 4 days speed by in a blur of training, sick villagers, and never ending rounds of GO. As night fell on the last day, the entire group left for the well.

Once again, Sakura's nerves were shot all to hell worrying if the well would allow entry, if she had enough power, and if everything went right how long before they had to come back.

All to quickly, the trek was over and Sakura had to face those fears of failure. And yet she was unable to do so. All she could do was stand there, staring at the well, frozen. Someone nudged her and she took a tentative step forward. Then another. And another. And another until finally she was standing right in front of the well. She knelt down, reaching her hand out. She turned her head looking back at the group behind her. She looked at each of their faces; she saw hope. Hope that they could go to the other side of the well; hope that they could go home; hope to find a new adventure; hope to see new things.

She let out the breath she didn't realize she had been holding and laid her hand on the lip of the well.

You came back, Daughter of the Moon.

Yes. I'm hoping for your answer. Will you allow my friends and I through to my time? Will you accept my powers to do so?

For a long moment it appeared that the well had refused her.

You are allowed passage.

Sakura's heart leapt for joy. Finally she could see her brothers!

You will need to combine not just your Kami powers, but your yoki as well.

How do I do that? I've never been able to call up just my yoki, much less combine it with my Kami powers.

Do not worry, I will guide you.

Damn it what's taking so long!

Inuyasha was starting to get impatient. The night was half over, the moon had reached it's zenith. Suddenly he smelled blood, Sakura's blood. Catching a sideways look at Sesshomaru and Shippo he knew they smelt it too. Just as he stepped towards her to pull her from the well, a bright blue light lit up the clearing. Everyone looked around trying to find the source of it. It only took Inuyasha and Kagome 2 seconds to realize it was the same light that would envelope them in their travels between her time and his.

"Jump."

Sakura's voice was strained and it frightened everyone to stillness.

"If you want to go, you need to jump now. I have to be the last one to leave. Now, GO!"

This spurred everyone to action. Sesshomaru and Rin jumped first, then Sango and Miroku, Shippo jumped in after them, last to go was Inuyasha and Kagome. Once they were clear Sakura hoisted herself up and fell into the well.

You will have one month to visit. It will take you that long to recover the power used to open the portal. The same will happen when you return to this time, Daughter of the Moon.

Thank you.

The last thing she remembered was being laid down softly on the bottom of the well and several people shouting her name.
