Yasha went outside as he walked straight into the woods- he could tell where Miroku was through his scent. He found both Miroku and Kiona easily as Miroku was teaching his daughter how to cut the wood.

"Now just make sure the wood sits up right at a vertical angle and then bring the axe down." Miroku quickly moved his hand off the woods as the axe came down, "Wait till I move my hand Kiona."

"Sorry dad." She laughed as she tried to pick the axe up to give it another whack. She struggled when it didn't come out of the log right away. "Dad it's stuck." She said distressed.

Miroku sighed as he grabbed the axe from his daughter and got it unhooked from the wood with ease. "Take a break Kiona. You have been trying to cut this log for a while." He whispered before looking up to see Yasha watching them. "Didn't see you come around." Miroku said to the child.

"Mrs. Sango said to come find you." He whispered.

Kiona jumped up running at him, she gave him a hug. "I knew you would be back!" she said happily.

"Kiona leave him alone." Miroku told his daughter as she released Yasha from her hug.

"Sorry dad."

"Come over here Yasha. Sango told me that you would probably do well to learn how to cut wood. Your father was a pro at it; let's see how well you can do it. We are cutting the wood for tonight's fire."

"Which should have been done months ago." Kiona whispered.

"I don't see you helping." Miroku whipped back at her. "Besides it's been dried for a few months so it should still be good for tonight."

Yasha grabbed the axe from Miroku's hand as Miroku put the piece of wood down on the stump.

"Now just aim and split it right down the middle." He said as he stood behind Yasha.

Yasha put the axe into the air as he made the axe go straight down the middle of the wood, almost splitting it in one hit.

"That's remarkable Yasha, you will be able to split it fully the second time." He said as the child struggled to get the axe out of the wood.

"Can you help me?" he asked with a smile.

"Of course." Miroku said as he pulled it out of the wood. "Being able to pull it out will come with practice."

Kiona stood up appalled, "You help him but you yell at me for needing help?"

"He didn't try and cut my hand off." Miroku told her as he looked at Yasha, "Try again now."

Yasha held the axe up as he let it fall on the wood splitting it in two. "I did it!" he yelled

"Show off." Kiona whispered as Miroku gave her a glare.

"Good job Yasha." Miroku said as he grabbed the axe and put another piece of wood up, "Now split this one!"

The next thirty to forty minutes was Yasha and Kiona learning how to split wood. Yasha yawned while doing his last one.

"Let me do the last one." Miroku said grabbing the axe. "No use making you cut yourself just because you're tired." He said as he hoisted it up and cut the last one.

Yasha yawned as they were all holding the wood making their way back to the hut.

"What took you so long?" Sango said as the three walked in.

"Kiona only cut one or two pieces the whole time we were out there. Although, Yasha seems to have taken to the skill very easily." Miroku said pointing to a yawning Yasha.

Kagome smiled, "That's my boy. Why don't you two kids run out and play with the rest while we cook dinner?"

"Can I mama?" Kiona asked.

"Sure." Sango said laughing at her daughter change in attitude.

"Thanks mama." Kiona said smiling as she grabbed the tired Yasha's hand to bring him out to play.

Kagome smiled, "That boy is going to sleep good tonight."

"Everything in this era seems to come easy to him." Miroku said while starting the fire.

"He read a lot of books on this era. I bought him so many books of this era. History is definitely his strong point." Kagome smiled, "I was glad to see he had an interest in the feudal era."

Sango put her pot on the fire. "Well he has only been here twice. I am sure there will be something he will need a lot of help with."

Kagome nodded.

All of the kids came in later in the afternoon when the food was down. All of them were smiling as Yasha still yawned again. "Yasha you can't sleep yet." Kagome laughed as she handed him his bowl of stew.

"I know, I'm not tired." He said as he grabbed a chopstick and started to eat with everyone else. This stuff was a little blander than he was used too but he remembered reading about the blander foods in the feudal era in one of his books. It was something he would have to get used to.

Later into the afternoon, the sun was finally setting, all of Sango and Miroku's children were asleep in the corner as Yasha was leaning on his mother closing his eyes then opening them quickly. Kagome noticed this as she sat her back against the wall grabbing Yasha into her lap as he placed his head directly on her shoulder and quickly fell asleep. He was clearly passed out from today's adventures.

"He has never slept this early before." Kagome smiled as she gave her son a quick kiss on the forehead, patting his hair.

"That's what happens when you have kids out where they can run loose." Sango smiled looking at her kids.

"You always seem to have your children running around, don't you ever school them?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, they all know how to read and write. They have their chores that need to get done but since there is so many of them, they get it done really quickly. The oldest will be going to another village soon so that he could learn how to be a monk like his father. Although there are some things I wish he didn't inherit from his father." Sango said glaring at her husband.

"I couldn't help teaching him how to talk to girls- it is a crucial part of any young man's growth." Miroku said in his defense.

Sango rolled her eyes.

Kagome saw the sun setting as Yasha changed into his human form right in front of everyone. He stayed asleep during the transformation, only showing signs he was alive by scratching his nose. Kagome smiled as she stood up- "Well, I guess I should head out then. We can talk more tomorrow. Plus I want to get home before demons start to walk around."

"Have Miroku come with you." Sango said to her friend knowing she didn't have her bow and arrows with her.

"Nah, I will be fine. We don't live that far out of town." Kagome smiled.

"Alright then, we will see you tomorrow." Sango smiled as she hugged her friend then watched Kagome walk out of the hut.

Kagome walked out of the village still holding the sleeping child as she whispered, "Man, you are getting heavy."

She walked along humming random songs to keep her nerves down. She never liked walking into the woods at night. Her hut seemed so much farther away than it did earlier. Kagome heard a movement in the woods as she shrieked at a squirrel jump out holding a nut.

Kagome let out a sigh of relief before the squirrel looked back into the woods then put the nut in its mouth and ran up a tree as it flung from tree to tree. Kagome thought it odd until she heard something else, a bigger something else coming her way. She started running hoping that whatever it was- it wouldn't come after her.

Whatever the thing was, it was picking up speed quickly behind her. She knew she could run a lot faster if she didn't have Yasha in her arms. She stopped as she woke her son up. "Yasha, Yasha."

Yasha stirred, "five more minutes and I will get up for school." He whispered.

"Please get up. This is different." Kagome heard whatever it was coming closer as Yasha opened his eyes. Both of their eyes went wide as the demon that was chasing them had shown itself right in front of them "Come on." She yelled pulling her son.

"Mom, we can't out run the demon." Yasha yelled looking back to see it coming after them.

Kagome looked to see a hole under some rocks. She ran faster and then took a sharp turn to go to the hole. She climbed in and then made Yasha follow. Kagome sat there in the dark holding her sons mouth as she tried to calm her breath.

"Come out come out wherever you are." The demon said as it walked by.

"Stay quiet, don't make any noise. Mommies right here." She kept whispering in his ear as he kept trying to scream every time the demon came by. "You're doing a great job."

The demon finally gave up and walked off. Kagome still kept her hand on his mouth for a little longer before finally deciding the demon was gone. As soon as she let go of Yasha, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath. Yasha looked at his hair; he forgot he was going to turn tonight.

"Stay here, I am going to make sure it is gone. Don't come out till I tell you that you can." Kagome whispered as she got out of the small hole and looked around.

Yasha watched as she looked around, she was about to turn around to give him the okay when the demon came back hitting Kagome into a tree. "Mom." Yasha whispered. He was about leave when he remembered his mother telling him not to move.

"Now I will finally get my meal." The demon said as it walked over to Kagome.

Kagome looked around, she had to get away, she had to at least make the demon leave this spot, and even if she died at least Yasha would live. "I would never be a meal for any filthy demon." She yelled as she turned to run.

The demon didn't let her get too far as she was pushed back and thrown. "No." kagome whispered.

The evil thing smirked as it walked over to her.

Kagome couldn't get up; it hurt her to much to move.

A white animal ran out of the wood line straight at the demon. It was Shiho with her lead still following her as she jumped onto the demons back making it scream. She bit into its neck before it throw her down. Shiho quickly recovered as she barked and growled at the demon. "You are a pesky thing." It said to her.

"Inu…Shiho it is too big for you, you can't kill it alone." Kagome yelled. Shiho was clearly at a disadvantage when the demon was at least five times her size if not bigger.

Shiho kept growling at it before lunging for the throat again. She was quickly smashed into a tree as she fell to the ground letting out a whine. She tried her best to get up but every time she tried she would fall back down to the ground.

The demon walked towards Kagome again as she tried to find anything to help her kill it. There was a stick only two feet away from her, if she could grab it, at least she would have something. She reached out as she saw the demons foot snap the stick. "No." Kagome whispered. The demon was about to finally be able to kill her, she closed her eyes, awaiting the impact.

Shiho took all the strength she had to run at the demon as she bit onto the demon's leg not letting go. "Let go, you insolate beast."

Shiho gave the demon a glare almost daring it to try and stop her.

"Let go this instant." The demon said once more shaking its leg back and forth. Shiho refused to let go as she held on tighter. Finally the demon had enough and punched Shiho into the side, making her let go and yelp in pain as she flew a few feet away from the demon and into a bush. Shiho struggled to get up; she refused to let down now matter what. She was limping out of the bush when she realized the leash was caught on the twigs that were in the bush. It was tangled within as she struggled to get out.

"No, Shiho." Kagome yelled, rising to get to the dog.

"And where do you think you are going?" the demon asked grabbing the girl.

"Let go." Kagome yelled.

"Or what?" the demon asked.

Yasha stared in horror what could he do? He started to come out of the hole, he could unhook Shiho, and maybe Shiho could still defend his mother, even if she was hurt already. Shiho started to gnaw on the leash trying to free herself.

"Kagome." A man yelled coming at her and attacking the demon. Yahsa hid immediately back into the hole. He saw the man had a tail and pointy ears much like his uncle. The man easily killed the demon which impressed Yasha greatly. After all that work- this man was able to kill it no problem. "Hey, I haven't seen you in a long time." He said smoothly coming to her. "Finally decided to be my woman?" he asked holding her hands, not seeming to care that she was hurt.

Yasha squeezed out of the hole as he walked over to the two. The man seemed to have an odd look in his eyes and his mother seemed more embarrassed that he acted like this.

"Actually Koga, I have a child now. You remember him right?" Kagome said quickly.

Koga looked down at Yasha, "That punny thing?" he yelled.

"Koga this is Yasha, Yasha this is Koga." Kagome said.

Shiho finally broke the leash with her teeth as she jumped in between them barking at Koga.

"Shiho down." Kagome commanded trying to grab her collar and pull her back. Shihos hairs were on end as she kept snarling at Koga.

"What is this thing?" Koga asked impressed that it would go against him.

"This is Shiho, she is our dog." Kagome said nervously. She knelt down to the dogs ears to whisper, "And you better start acting better." Shiho looked up at her to see she was serious as she loosened up and Shiho stopped growling and barking at the once rival. She let out a few whimpers to show her apology, towards Kagome NOT Koga.

"You really need to teach it some manners." Koga said staring at it.

Shiho let out a few barks making Koga stare at her.

"No your not." He said bewildered.

Shiho barked a few more times.

"That's ridiculous."

Kagome hit her head on her hand while Shiho started to have a conversation with Koga.

"So you're mutt face just in a smaller version? If that was even possible." Koga laughed.

"Koga." Kagome whispered.

"Yeah." He asked looking up from his conversation.

Kagome whispered, "Yasha doesn't know yet."

"Doesn't know what?" Yasha asked.

Koga stared at them both, "Wait if mutt face is a dog then you have no need for him anymore." He whispered sliding past Shiho and holding Kagome in his arms.

Shiho in return grabbed Kogas tail and pulled. After Koga flipped his tail out of her mouth. She weaseled her way in between them and pushed Koga away.

Yasha was so confused, was everyone in the era weird?

"Well I gotta get going, I hope you will be around." He said to Kagome.

"Yes, we will be around for a month." Kagome said to him relieved that Koga was going.

"Great! Then I will talk to you later." He said as he tore off to go find his pack.

"Come on guys, let's get home." Kagome said picking Yasha up as Shiho watch Koga running off, "Shiho come."

Shiho limped behind Kagome back to the hut.

Kagome laid Yasha down in his sleeping bag before turning to Shiho, "Let me see your leg." Shiho had lay down as Kagome looked at her back leg.

Shiho let out a whimper when she touched it.

"Well nothing's broken so it should be better in a few days." She smiled at the dog. "You probably have my mom scarred that you got out." She pet the dog on the head.

She looked down at the cut on her arm as she tried to touch it only to recoil from the pain. Shiho licked her arm.

Kagome smiled, "I will be fine." She whispered as she went into her room and grabbed some of the medical supplies she brought and went out into the other room where she still had a candle burning. She cleaned out a few of her worse wounds as she bandaged them.

Shiho sat next to her the whole time until she was done.

Kagome place the last bandage on herself, "Let's get to bed, we got a busy day tomorrow." She yawned as she got up to go into her makeshift room. Shiho struggled to get up as she walked into Kagome's room; she lay down beside Kagome's head as Kagome blew out the candle. "Good night Shiho." She whispered.

Shiho let out a low noise as they both fell asleep.

There we are- another story down! Yay!

JUST TO CLARIFY because I got a PM from a person who wishes not to review and send me a message instead (which is fine) but no I am NOT placing myself in this story. I am NOTHING like the hyperactive girls in my story. That's probably why I made them hyperactive so that I unconsciously know that I don't insert myself. Actually throughout this whole story, my personality is closer to Yasha's than anyone else which is odd cuz I am a girl and I did make him to be a guy. But I like video games, I did well in school (although I never jumped a grade), I do look seven to eight years younger than my age (although I just did it for Yasha cuz Inuyasha doesn't exactly look like he is two hundred in the anime/manga), and we both are very quiet and reserved (which I only did for Yasha cuz he never had a chance to really open up to people plus he did start to act like a teenager when he defied his mom a few times). Also, Azami is the only decent girl in the story because she is the one who is suppose to have the closest personality to Yasha. Thanks for the concern and whenever I get a concern I like to address it to everyone so that it is cleared fully!

Thanks for the reviews and please REVIEW AGAIN!!! I don't know how well I am doing with my story unless if you guys tell me!
