The blue lights and weightless feeling swirled around Kagome and she breathed a sigh of relief to see Sango and Miroku still clinging to them in the time slip. Kagome could see Miroku had blanched and she could feel Sango trembling against her. �I forgot how unnerving this could be. I�ve been doing it so long it doesn�t even register anymore.� She thought as she gave a reassuring squeeze to Sango. Sango smiled meekly at her gesture and seconds later the quartet felt earth beneath their feet as the magic of the portal faded. Looking up, Kagome saw the roof of the well house over head and smiled at her friends.

�We�re here.�

Inuyasha was out first and lifted Sango and Miroku out, while Kagome climbed the rope ladder to the top. Opening the well house door, the four stepped into the shrine courtyard and she heard her friends gasp.

�I have never seen a shrine like this before, Lady Kagome. It is most impressive!� Miroku said, gazing in wonder at the expanse of the shrine she called her home. Sango was staring at the sky with a look of confusion and mild fear. Kagome looked up to see a plane over head and laughed.

�That�s an air plane, Sango.�

�An air plane?�

�Hai. In this time, man has learned how to create machines to do many things we were not able to before. An air plane is a large machine that is able to carry people inside and move them from one place to another quickly. It�s even faster than Kirara.�

�It�s not a demon then?�

Kagome scrunched her forehead thoughtfully. �No, Sango. Actually, I�ve never felt any demon presence in my time. Well, except the Noh mask. But it�s possible that those who are around have learned to blend in with the general population and are no longer fighting with humanity. It�s just a guess though.�

�Hmmm. You will show us what other marvels you have in your time?�

�Hai.� Kagome nodded and smiled. �Well, guys, we should probably go inside and see if anyone�s home. I need to talk to my mother, then we can get started.�

Inuyasha sniffed and nodded to Kagome, �Your Okaa-san and Jiji is home. Souta�s out, though. Oh, wait, he�s almost home.�

No sooner had he said that than he heard the shrill cry of his teen worshipper. �Inuyasha-nii-chan! You�re back!� Souta ran and jumped at Inuyasha and threw his arms around to hug his idol�s waist. Miroku and Sango looked on, mildly amused by Souta calling Inuyasha �big brother,� and saw Inuyasha ruffle the boy�s hair affectionately.

�Oi, runt. What�ve you been up to?�

�Inuyasha-nii-chan! Will you be staying long? I have a new game I wanted to show you. And you promised to give me a ride on your back last time you were here, remember?�

Inuyasha laughed at the enthusiasm. It felt so good to be admired in spite of his heritage. All this little boy saw was a cool guy his sister brought home, who carried a sword and could kick the ass of anything that got in his way. Inuyasha crouched down to look the young man in the eye, �Souta, we�re only staying a few days. I�ll make sure to save some time for you to show me that game, and I think I might find some time to keep my promise.� Inuyasha winked at him. Miroku and Sango were a little shocked to say the least. They had never seen Inuyasha so warm, especially with a child, and a human one at that. It was clearly evident the admiration the young one had for the hanyou, so they could only hypothesize that the ego boost had tempered the insecurities of their friend. Souta nodded happily and bounced up to the house.

�Mama! Gramps! Kagome-nee-chan and Inuyasha-nii-chan are home!� He called through the door. �He looked back and noticed the other two for the first time, �Oh, and it looks like they brought guests!�

The four followed after him and found Kagome�s mother in the kitchen.

�Inuyasha, can you take Sango and Miroku to the living room while I talk to my mom, onegai?�

Inuyasha nodded and motioned for the two to follow him. Souta was lounging on the couch reading when they entered, and after an introduction, launched into a long babble about television and the other modern amenities in the room, pointing as he explained, until the two�s heads were reeling.
~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sat in the kitchen as her mother brought a kettle of tea to the table. Wiping her hands on her apron, her mother sat across from her, smiled, and waited silently for Kagome. Kagome took a deep breath and began.

Kagome first told her mother that they would be battling Naraku soon, that most, if not all of the remaining jewel shards were in his possession, of what an evil half-youkai he was, and then about the plans she and Inuyasha had formed. She explained that she had brought Miroku and Sango over so they could finalize plans without threats.

�Gomen, mama, for not asking first. We were in such a hurry. This is very important. Gomen,� she said again, bowing her head.

Her mother smiled at her and patted her hand, �Kagome, dear, your friends are always welcome in this house, you know that. We�ll figure out some sleeping arrangements for them all and we�ll pull some clothes together for when you need to go out. Your monk friend should be okay around here in his robes, he�ll blend in just fine. And we�ll get something for if he wants to leave the shrine. Inuyasha already has his things here. And I�ll bet your Sango friend can borrow some of your things for the time being. I�ll make plenty for dinner tonight, so don�t you worry about a thing.� Her mother leaned back and sipped her tea thoughtfully, �But that isn�t all you wanted to tell me, is it? Hmmm?�

Kagome started to speak but closed her mouth, unsure of where to begin. �Hai, mama. Ano�ano�well, first, I think we�ll go shopping tomorrow for supplies to help in the battle. I�ll use some of my college money, so you won�t have to worry about it.� Her mother raised an eyebrow but continued sipping her tea. �And IthinkImgoingtodropoutofschooltomorrow.� Kagome finished, wincing and waiting for her mother�s reaction. Mrs. Higurashi still said nothing, continuing to sip her tea. After her mother did not respond after a long silence, Kagome became apprehensive. �Mama?�

�Hmmm?�

�Are you going to say anything?�

�Well, honey, how �bout you tell me why you want to withdraw from school. Then, we�ll go from there.�

Drawing a deep breath and steadying her nerves, Kagome said, �Well, first off, I�ve missed a lot already. The only way I will graduate now is if I take the equivalency test anyway. So there really is no point in trying to get back for classes now and then, especially when there is only half a year left. Secondly, I don�t know how long we�ll be gone or how long it will take to find Naraku. Third, I won�t lie. It will be dangs ans and I don�t know what will happen. I want to tie loose ends, just in case. And even if things turn out okay, we don�t know if the well will let me back through once we have completed the Shikon.� Kagome fidgeted, unable to look her mother in the eye. Finally, she finished in a whisper, �Even if I can get back, I�m not sure I have a life here any more. I think I belong there.�

Kagome�s mother said nothing for a few minutes and Kagome began to sweat profusely from the tension. Finally her mother smiled and stood up. �Stay here for a moment, I have something to show you.�

After her mother left up the stairs, Inuyasha peeked his head in. �How�d it go?�

�I�m not real sure. She didn�t say much and I couldn�t tell if she was mad or not.� Inuyasha wrapped a protective arm around her and sat next to her. She leaned her head against his shoulder and relaxed. Her mother returned, so Inuyasha began to rise to give them privacy, but Kagome�s mother stopped him with a hand on his arm and a smile.

�Please stay, Inuyasha. This concerns you as well as my daughter.�

Mrs. Higurashi laid two very old scrolls on the table and began to unroll one. It was aged and yellowed, parts were burned and in other areas the ink had faded completely. �First, Kagome honey, I can tell you have put a lot of thought into this. I will support whatever you decide to do. But about these.� She motioned to the scroll in front of her. �Both scrolls have been in our family for generations. This first scroll claims to be a first hand account of the legend of the Shikon no Tama, as written by one of our ancestors.� Kagome and Inuyasha stared at the parchment, afraid to look at what lay before them. Kagome�s mother noticed their apprehension. �Don�t worry. It won�t tell you anything you don�t already know. I have read and reread this scroll since your fifteenth birthday, Kagome. I never questioned you about your injuries, or your battles, or Inuyasha, because I knew what would come to pass. It was all written here. No specifics like your name or anything, but it�s about you and your friends just the same. But the scroll ends here. It was badly damaged by water after a fire in the shrine centuries ago, and the ending of the story was lost.� Kagome and Inuyasht int in stunned silence. Hesitantly, Kagome touched the scroll and began reading. There before her were all of the journeys she and her friends faced. From Mistress Centipede and the release of the hero hanyou whose name was not mentioned, to the meeting of Miroku, Shippo, and Sango. The battles against Hiten and Miten were told, Kouga was introduced, even Kagura, Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken, the Tetsuiga and Tensaiga and the battles for the swords were narrated before them. Inuyasha�s demon side and Kagome�s part in his control was told. The story of the Minx tribe and Totousai and Inuyasha�s training were listed. Kohaku�s betrayal and the destruction of Sango�s village was played out before them. The water demon and the pig youkai were there. Even Myoga. The absence of the mention of Kikyo was noticed, but neither Inuyasha, nor Kagome, remarked on it. The names of the traveling band of fighters and friends was never mentioned, they were characterized as the inu-hanyou, the miko, the taiyaji, the hoishi, the kitsune cub, and the neko-youkai. As thearedared the end, after a battle against the rat plague, the scroll was faded and the ending was lost. Inuyasha and Kagome remained in stunned silence, as Mrs. Higurashi continued.

�Kagome, Inuyasha, I trust you. Your destinies are great, as told in these scrolls. I know you will look after my daughter, Inuyasha. And I trust your decisions, Kagome. You are an adult now. You must do what you feel is right. And you must follow your heart. I will not stop you from whatever path you must follow now.� Kagome�s mother got up from the table and came around to hug the pair, before returning to her seat to open the second scroll.

�This is the Higurashi family tree. It is very, very old, Kagome. But I think you may decide to keep this information to yourselves, at least for the time being.� She slowly unrolled the scroll, first showing the current Higurashis, Kagome and Souta included, and unrolled farther to reveal the patriarchs that preceded them, then farther to reveal more ancestors. Inuyasha was in awe to see so well kept a piece of lineage. Finally, the scroll was unrolled to reveal the first on the ancestral family tree.

Inuyasha and Kagome gasped.

The names were ones they recognized, having spent spent years in their company.

Kagome�s great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents were Miroku, the monk, and Sango, the warrior.

A/N: HA! Betcha didn�t see that coming. Hope you enjoyed the slightly longer chappie. My muses are having a blast. I have five chapters all planned in my head, I just have to get them to paper, so more updates will be coming soon! Thank you to my reviewers- hugs and kisses!

Response to Reviewer Anglestars: Kagome called Kouga fleabag because he started to grope her like Miroku�.
