Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters; I do own Ru, Ko and Kyo

Kagome looked up at the family darkness and began her climb up the well, Ko still on her back now wide awake. When Kagome reach the top and climbed over the edge she set Ko down next to the well and looked down at the two who were very scared and surprised. "Kyo, Ru are you coming up?"

"In a moment mama," Kyo called up and looked at his sister’s terrified face and put a hand on her shoulder before getting ready to jump up.

Ru saw what her brother was doing and followed what he was doing. Soon both of them jumped out of the well and stood next to their mother.

Kagome felt Ko's hand grab hers, and she held it for reassurance before walking to the well shrine door and opened it to a very familiar shrine.

Inuyasha stomach growled and he looked up at the sky seeing that it was past lunch time, "where is that miko, usually she and the brats would be coming to get me for lunch..." He said out loud before jumping down from the tree he had been relaxing on for hours now, "maybe they’re with Miroku and Sango." He said and started heading to their hut where he was greeted by two 13 year old girls who looked exactly the same besides their kimonos.

****

Kagome began walking to the tree as the children followed her close behind, and Ko holding very tightly to her hand.

Ru spotted the tree and looked at her mother with a confused look, "mama isn't that the same tree we saw a short while ago."

Kagome nodded walking and stopped in front of the fence that was around the tree, "yes Ru it is." She said turning and looking around the shrine, "this is the place I grew up at."

Ru and Kyo looked around in amazement and then was interrupted by an angry voice

****

Inuyasha after being question by the two girls, Kia and Mia, he sighed happy to get away from the two.

Miroku looked up from where he sat in front of the fire eating as Sango got food for their 11 year old son Mirozo. Putting his bowl next to him he looked at Inuyasha who was looking around the hut.

"Inuyasha is something wrong?" Miroku asked looking around the hut to see if anything seemed wrong.

Inuyasha growled in frustration, "No nothing I just can't find Kagome or the brats, I thought they would be here."

Sango shook her head looking over to Inuyasha, “I haven’t seen her sense she visited us this mourning..." Sango said thinking, and before long she lifted a finger which told everyone she remembered something, "she did say something about go to the tree and well to show the kids where you guys had met."

Inuyasha grinned and turned away from them, "thanks Sango, I owe you one." He said and started running toward Kagome's scent which was freshest near the well.

"Oi you people, what are you doing near the sacred tree?" A at guy you looked to be in his early 20's, yelled at them walking very fast toward them.

Kyo growled his ears perked forward and Ru and Ko his behind Kagome. Kagome giggled at them before stepping forwards to met the man and hugged him.

The man stopped utterly surprised by the hug and tried pushing Kagome away, "who are you and what do you hug me as if we were close."

Kagome let out a sigh and stopped hugging him, no wonder he didn't recognize her she did look totally different with the kimono she was wearing and her longer hair. "It's been a while Sota, at least 11 years since the last time you saw me."

Sota took a step back looking her in the face, when she smiled he knew who this was. He flung his arms in the air and yelled "Kagome!" And hugged her.

Kagome giggled hugging him back before she pulled out of the hug. Still smiling, and looked back at Kyo, Ru and Ko before gesturing for them to come over.

The children hurried over all but one hiding behind Kagome. Kyo looked

At Sota sniffing at his scent, it smelled a lot like his mother's did. Sota looked at the kids one by one before looking back at his sister.

"So who are these kids?" Sota asked

Kagome stepped to the side so Sota could see Ru and Ko. She pointed to Kyo and started introducing pointing to each one when she said their name, "the eldest and bravest on is Kyo, next to him is his twin sister Ru who is the most beautiful daughter ever, and the youngest is Ko, who isn't that talkative." She said and pointed to Sota, "children this is your uncle Sota, my brother."

Sota smiled at the kids and then started talking to his sister again, "if you’re not going anywhere are they aloud to pay while we talk."

Kagome nodded and looked down at the now calm kids although still jumpy with being in a new place, "you guys want to play with a ball?"

They all nodded and Kyo was the first to spot a ball that was black and white (a soccer ball) and ran to it followed by his siblings.

Kagome and Sota sat on a bench and began talking about the time they haven't seen each other.

"So I see your life with Inuyasha I going great." Sota said watching as his nephews and niece play.

"Yes, I have been taking care of them and teaching them how to help people and be nice, Inuyasha on the other hand has been teaching Kyo how to be like him." Kagome said, “other than that I've had a very happy in the feudal era."

Sota smiled at his sister, "I'm glad sis" he said looking off in the distance, " things around here changed after you left, grandpa began to calm down about history and mom made sure I got good grades and really stayed herself, although she did really miss you."

Kagome felt good to hear about gramps and mom, " Sota where are mom and gramps, I've only seen you and the house seems quiet."

"Mom had to take gramps to his doctor appointment and should be back any second." He said and then looked at the steps to see two figures reach the top, “speak of the devil" he said and waved to them.

The two looked at Sota and then at the kids, the two walked over to them and started the questions.

"Sota why are their kids playing with your old soccer ball? And who is this women you are talking to," then miss. Higurashi pointed to the open door that held the bone eaters well inside. “and tell me why that door is open" she said in a calm yet concerned voice.

Sota stood up and faced his mom, Kagome after standing up stood next to Sota. "Mom you might not believe this but those kids are your grandchildren and this girl next to me is Ka-"

Miss Higurashi eyes lit up and tears started to forum In her eyes, she jumped forward and took Kagome in a hug, "Kagome dear!" She yelled as she cried cutting off what Sota was saying.

Kagome hugged her mom back and cried into her shoulder as her mom did to her. She was overcome with joy from being able to see her after all this time in the feudal era.

Grandpa walked over with his cane and hugged Kagome as well. This ended up beings family hug when Miss Higurashi pulled Sota into the hug, and whispered "what a pleasant surprise"
