Chapter 1 -50 years later- <Kagome's time>
Kaida ran, that's all a hanyou like her could do against Naraku's alter-self. A youkai killer, and the prey was her. She ducked when she heard the swoosh that signaled the boomerang was launched. It hit the well shack, demolishing it and headed back.

She stepped on it, knocking it to the ground and faced the exterminator, "ready to die yet hanyou?"

"Not by your hands!" she cried.

"Just tell Naraku where the jewel is, where your pathetic mother is hiding it."

"I'll never tell him! He can burn in his name sake! He made life for all the people Ookami knew hell!"

The girl smirked, "that pathetic wolf? Such a shame Tama sent him away before the end. Killing them must have been so fun."

"Die Sango!" Kagome cried shooting an arrow at the girl, hitting her in the back. Sango turned around and pulled the arrow out.

"You really got cut up huh hanyou? Rin got the best of you?"

Kagome fell to her knee, "shut up! You despise Naraku! Why follow him?"

Sango smirked, "I am Naraku girl!" she drew her katana and charged.

Kaida dove and cut Sango's leg. She flipped and landed in front of her mother, her amber eyes flared red, sending a chill down Sango's spine. She disappeared leaving Kaida to take three deep breaths and looked at her mother. The hanyou miko, protector of the shikon no tama. She took her hand and helped Kagome up, "mom are you alright?"

Kagome nodded, looking into her daughter's eyes. Life was hell, to be blunt. 15 years ago he came to power. It was a long difficult story to tell, and to get it out of Ookami, one of the few youkai left alive, was pure torture.

"They'll all dead, my father, mother, best friends. Everyone's dead, the lord of the western lands, his mate and children. My best friend's father. No youkai survived when they stalled him, held him up, made him powerless until now," that's all you could get out of Kouga's son before he broke down.

Yes Naraku lived, his power held back by the sacrifices from all of Kagome's friends and family. Ookami was the only one who lived, because Tama couldn't bare to let him fight.

Rin and Sango were Naraku's alter selves. Named after Sango the demon exterminator who helped defeat him the first time, and Rin, Sesshomaru's only real weakness. Made a youkai by mating with him. They looked just like them, had their eyes, everything. The only difference was their hearts, they were cold. Ice cold.

Kaida couldn't think of the worst, and deepest cut that Naraku had made to their very small group. Her hand came up to the mark on her neck, it still stung when she moved away from him. When that had happened it was the only day she had ever seen her mother have a pure look of terror in her eyes. This stupid thing brought him back. One stupid mistake and hell broke lose.

They arrived at the safe house and were ushered in by Ookami, who was paranoid. He sat down and looked at them, "you were attacked?"

"Hai, Ookami. Sango attacked Kaida and Rin me," Kagome said. 'The jewel isn't even here. It's in the past. Inuyasha has it, if only the well wasn't closed off. Then we could just abandon this time.'

Kaida sighed and sat down, "Ookami-niichan, have you been inside all day?"

"No, I actually went out," he answered looking at her with a faint smile.

Kagome turned in for the night and remembered what had happened, her mother had flipped when she came back not only as a hanyou but with a child. She almost had a cardiac arrest when she found out she had two grandchildren, three counting Shippo. Her grandfather tried to attack her, release the "evil" spirit within her and "purify" her child. Hojo had left her alone and she lost all of her "friends" that existed in this time. She was called a whore when she brought Kaida out, her school mates sent her glares and whispered behind her back all the time. She let it roll off her back, she didn't care. She was in a bond, had a love that none of them could ever have.

She wanted to get to Inuyasha, he always knew how to fix these problems. He would come up with some plan that would either save the world or not work and something else would. He would, she just knew it. And that's why she waited for him. Even if he was dead in this time. She still loved him.
*~*~*~*~* <Inuyasha's time>
Ryu breathed drawing his sword, made by Toutosai, and looked for his attacker. He caught sight of the white hair and amber eyes to the left of him, but when he turned to strike he was hit in his right shoulder.

Inuyasha landed next to him and slung Tetsusaiga over his shoulder. He hadn't aged all that much. He looked wiser if that was possible, and maybe in his early 20's. Ryu looked about 17, even though he was over 50. <In my story youkai age normally meaning like humans until they are 15, then they start to age like youkai.>

"Still trusting your sight pup. You have hearing and smell, use them," Inuyasha said. When Ryu made no move to get up he cuffed the back of his neck and lifted him up, "are you listening to me?"

"Not really," he said, "hey there's Shippo. Onii-san! Hey!"

Inuyasha sighed, Ryu was a strong hanyou, and a lot of the dangers had disappeared since the jewel had been complete. In short, he was growing up in a time of peace, he was strong enough to get by, he didn't need to fight to survive so he didn't. He still fought once in awhile, with Ookami or Shippo.

"I would fight if something dangerous came our way. Course I would. And then we would all fight together," he heard Ryu say to Shippo.

"Hai baka, but if you want to win you gotta train so you can kick dangers ass. You think I got this strong sitting on my ass?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well Inu-papa, you were pinned to a tree until Kag-mama set you free," Shippo pointed out. He was now a tall kitsune, able to use fox fire and everything, even his pink ball if still he wanted.

Inuyasha snorted, "I didn't lose the power at least. I fought youkai all the time."

Shippo grinned, "I did too. There aren't any good youkai to fight, minus Ookami and Kouga."

Inuyasha sighed and sheathed Tetsusaiga, "so what do you want me to do, start praying to the gods that a great monster will come out so I can finally start training you two?"

"I'm a kitsune."

"You're still my pup, runt!"

Ryu looked up into the sky, it had been like this for as long as he could remember, just him, Shippo and his dad. Kouga and Ookami on occasion and maybe a human, Sango or Miroku's heir, but that's it. They had always been together, ever since his mom left when he was still too young to remember her. Inuyasha said they'd meet her in 450 years. He was immortal sure but why so long.

He wanted to meet her. To get to know her. She was a miko, how often did you find a miko that liked youkai, let alone mated with one. On top of that she protected the Shikon no Tama, the whole reason why she came and met his father in the first place. If she could love his dad, she had to be worth meeting.

He hauled himself to his feet and shot into the air, back to the well. He knew he couldn't get through, he spent the better half of his childhood trying to jump through. His father even went so far as to take the jewel and try to get through, that didn't work though. He sat on the lip of the well and closed his eyes.

He sat there for a minute before twitching his ears to the sound of feet pounding on the ground. He tensed his body, before he was knocked off the lip and into the grass, a smirking wolf pinning him down, "got you."

He growled and tried to swipe Ookami, "baka! Get back here!"

Ookami chuckled and jumped up, landing in front of the irritated hanyou, "what you doing, drifting off on the well?"

"Just that! Drifting off on the well."

"No one's ever gonna come out of that stupid thing. It's pointless. We're gonna meet them in 450 years, we can wait. We have all eternity."

"You wouldn't be saying that if you didn't know your mother!"

Ookami shook his head, "inu-oniisan, you must have patience. It is a virtue."

Ryu sucked in his breath and counted to 10 before launching onto the wolf punching him repeatedly, "what you say, stinkin' wolf!"

"Boys!" Tama shouted pulling them apart, "for shame, Kag-chan would not have stood for this. Wait until I tell your father's what brats your have been."

Ookami gulped, "demo, mom, it was just play fighting. Me and inu-oniisan meant nothing by it."

Ryu smirked, "course not Ookami, why would I waste my time on a weakling like you?"

"What did you say baka!" Ookami shouted looking at him angrily, "I'm trying to protect us here!"

Tama shook her head and slapped both boys squarely across the face, "you two are just like your fathers! Kami, I don't know how Kag-chan stood for all of this. When they were fighting over her no less. She had to slap them at least once."

Both boys stared at the wolf, they had never known their fathers fought over Kagome, they knew they didn't like each other that much when they were younger. But they fought over Kagome. That was news to them.

Shippo, having heard the better part of the conversation, decided to take that moment to step in, "Tama, Kag-mama just sat Inu-papa until his back broke. And then she would scold Kouga when ever he ran off with her, or scream in his ear. I think she may have slapped him once or twice, but most fights ended in Inu-papa getting sat." The three stared at him. A look of confusion on all of their faces. Shippo sighed, "when Inu-papa was released from the well he wanted to kill Kag-mama. He would have succeeded if Kaede didn't place the beads around his neck and let her get control of them. The word of subduing was 'sit.' When we beat Naraku she removed the beads after finding out Inu-papa didn't want the jewel to become full youkai."

All three continued to stare until Tama finally broke into laughter. She had never known Kagome as a human, but she must have been pretty intimidating, subduing the hanyou with a single word. Of course she could make him do anything to a word when she knew her, but it was different circumstances. Ookami and Ryu soon joined, imagining what the spell had to be able to do, for a then human to stop one of the strongest beings they knew.

That was the scene that Inuyasha and Kouga came upon minutes later. They had calmed down slightly but looking at Inuyasha and Kouga brought back the laughter. Inuyasha finally had enough and screamed, "what the hell is so funny?"

Tama looked up at them and hugged her mate, "oh, Kag-chan must have been one hell of human. I knew she had you both wrapped around her finger, but scolding you mate. And sitting you Inuyasha. It must have been some travels."

Inuyasha growled and looked at Shippo who was trying to look innocent, "runt, you were lucky that she had that or else you wouldn't even be here!"

Shippo glared back at him, "Kag-mama loved me better than you back then. She would have just left you behind, and taken me with her."

Inuyasha would have started chasing him around if they were back looking for the Shikon no Tama but instead he smirked, "who's up for kitsune tonight?"

Ryu would have joined in the teasing of his older brother, as would Ookami, it was only tradition but Shippo beat them to the fun of it, "I would!"

Everyone got a laugh. Shippo had grow use to the teasing, it was something to remind him of the times he and Inuyasha use to concealing that they actually might have cared. Inuyasha still thought of Shippo as his first pup, he had a special place in his heart. A smile tugged at Kouga's lips, "let's say we head on in, a storm will be coming soon. We don't want to get lost."
~*~*~*~*~*~* <Kagome's time>
Kaida moaned slightly, then let out a blood curtailing scream as blood was being lapped from the mark on the side of her neck. Two dark eyes glared down at her, a smirk on his lips and her own blood reflecting on his teeth. His eyes grew more intense as his muscles started to bulge, reforming, becoming stronger.

She bolted awake, reality coming back. Ookami's grip was on her, she wasn't there. She wasn't there, "it was all a dream," she muttered. "All a stupid fucking dream."

Ookami had awakened to his sergeant sister's tears and he hugged her to him, "Kaida, what's that matter?"

She bit her lip and fisted his kimono in her hand, "the nightmare, it's come back."

He sighed and hugged her to his chest, running his claw over her mark. The only proof her nightmare was reality. He purred for her, keeping her in his lap, protecting her from danger as he knew Ryu would want him to do.

As Kagome did when she entered the room, having heard her daughter crying. Kaida wanted to smack herself for being weak, for letting a stupid mistake happen. She just wanted to be happy. Kagome picked up her baby and carried her outside, to the well. Where she always thought.

She rocked her daughter, letting her cry and let out all her frustration. She sat patiently waiting for the tears to subside, for Kaida's facade to fall back into place. Kaida calmed down eventually to her mother's rocking and purring. She curled into her body, as she did when she was just a tiny pup.

Kagome touched her babies forehead, brushing the blue hair away from her eyes, "oh Inuyasha where are you? Come back for me. I need you."
~*~*~*~*~*~* <Inuyasha's time>
Ryu woke up holding his head, that nightmare, the one where that girl he never knew was being attacked, raped, marked. It plagued his head for fifteen years now, getting more descriptive, but shorter as each one came.

He had learned, or at least guessed the girl's name, but not the man who did this. Sometimes he would wake up crying, he never let his father or Shippo see. He never even told Ookami of the dreams. How much they haunted him, stopped him from sleeping. He needed to think.

He tried to sneak out but his father caught him, "where are you going?"

Ryu sighed, "I had a nightmare, I can't sleep I'm going to the well to think."

Inuyasha didn't get how his son could have nightmares, he hadn't gone through hell and back to live and tell about it. They had been haunting him for sometime though. Fifteen years. He would wake up to Ryu's tears penetrating the air. "What are they about?"

Ryu tensed but sighed, "I don't understand them, but they started fifteen years ago. At first it was just moaning and then a loud scream. Those were the longest ones. Then I could see figures, a small girl sprawled beneath an ominous creature. She was making the moaning and then the scream. In the past year or so I could make out what was going on. It was a youkai mating, the girl starts to scream when he marks her. They stop there.

"After awhile I figured out the girl's name. Never the man's and it's pissing me off because I feel her pain. It sounds stupid as fuck but I feel her get raped by this man. She's just there and I can't stop it. I feel like I should of. I should have been there to prevent it!"

Inuyasha bit his lip, he didn't want to admit it. He was worried, but he had to make sure, "what does she look like? Hair color, eye color, something."

"Blue hair, an inu-hanyou, her eyes aren't visible, they dissolve. They don't exist. Just mist. From what the man says, her name is something close to Kaede or Kaida, something like that."

Inuyasha froze, that wasn't Ryu's dream, it was Kaida's, she was giving him the dream. It was her. How did, what had happened to her? He growled and sat down, he was going to figure this out. Ryu noticed his father had sat down and decided now was as good as time as any to leave to think.

Ryu laid down on the lip of the well, he didn't want to admit it but sometimes he swore he smelt his mother. He didn't even remember her yet he knew her scent. It was strange but his father didn't believed it was, therefore he figured she must be close by the well. Maybe waiting for them. No why would she be waiting? She probably already found them in the future.
*~*~*~*~*~* <Kagome's time>
Kaida sighed, it was dawn. She was awake and up, and it was only dawn. Her black pants blew in the wind and she sat on the edge of the well, her legs hanging down in the well. She sniffed the air and detected a scent of an inu-hanyou. One that had been at the well recently.

She shrugged and was about to turn around when a shiver ran down her spine, generated from the mark on her neck. She looked around and jumped into the well, deciding to hide there from Naraku instead of fighting him so early. What happened wasn't as she planned. White light surrounded her and she felt herself start to disappear slightly. She closed her eyes only to open them again and see herself inside the well. She jumped up and was greeted by two gray blue eyes of a boy.
~*~*~*~*~* <Inuyasha's time>
Ryu woke up and stretched falling into the grass below the well. He had slept well. The scents had been enough to relax him. He was almost asleep again when one scent started to get stronger. Like it was coming closer, very fast. He turned his nose up and followed it.

The well was giving off the scent. He looked down into it and saw a girl getting up with blue hair and dog ears. She looked around and jumped up, looking him square in the eye. His mouth opened, 'it's the girl from my dream.'
