Here's the next chapter! You are all awesome by the way!!!!!!!

Chapter 2 -What the hell-
Ryu looked into the amber eyes, 'the girl from my dreams is from the future?' He grabbed her neck and turned it, looking at the mark. She had it, right where the man bit her.

Before he could look at it more, she grabbed his hand and pulled it away, landing a kick on his shoulder. He tried to grab both her shoulders to throw her back, but instead she flipped and landed behind him, kneeling ready to launch at her attacker at any moment.

Ryu turned around and jumped onto the lip of well, before jumping over it, making it seem that he was retreating. Kaida relaxed slightly before she noticed he had planned it, as he launched back at her, gripping her shoulders and making them roll until she was under him, on her back with his knees on either side of her body.

She growled at him, demanding to be let up. He just growled back, trying to make her submit without a fight. She freed one of her claws and took a swipe at his face, drawing a slight amount of blood.

Kaida jumped free and landed a couple of steps away, growling loudly and rebelliously, "I don't lie down for anyone!"

Ryu stared at her, she had his father's eyes, and the scent it was familiar. Something he knew. The person he was suppose to remember, the one it was too hard for anyone to talk about. He should know her.

Kaida watched him carefully, his face showing a look of concentration. She took that moment to try and make a break for the well, before his hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back down, "don't go anywhere yet, bitch."

She turned to him and swiped her claws, this time he avoided it, "no shit sweetheart," she mumbled, baring her fangs and flicking her ear with her free hand, "what did you think I was? A kitsune?"

He growled at how annoying she was becoming and threw her down, holding his hand at her throat, growling again for her to submit, "if you're a bitch then you should learn to submit to your superiors."

"I submit to no one," she ground out, not daring to move, knowing how claws could cut, "the only male who has a sliver of respect from me, and I sure as hell mean a sliver, is Ookami! That's only because he knew my father!"

That did it, Ryu snapped and pushed her into the ground, his knee grinding into her stomach, making her cough, "as long as you are in this forest, you better learn some respect." What she said though finally registered in his brain, "you know Ookami?!"

"Yes I just said that! He lives with me, baka. And like I said, I only respect him because he knew my father!" Kaida used all her strength to push him off of her, sending him into the nearest tree.

Ryu looked at the girl, as she pulled herself up, graceful and unharmed. 'Amazing', he thought, 'she's just amazing. Just the kind of fighter I am.'

She walked over to the fallen Ryu and lifted up his chin, smiling at him with a soft look, before her eyes went dark and her claws caught his neck, drawing blood, lots of it.

She was suddenly pushed on the ground, a strong pair of arms attacking her sides, bruising her badly, worse than she ever felt. She tried to break free to see the eyes of a very pissed off youkai, red. His white hair hung on the sides, making a curtain. He was snarling at her, demanding that she submit immediately and then explain what the hell she was doing. The voice was harsh, making her cringe so much that she whimpered.

This caught the youkai's ears and suddenly his eyes changed to amber, her amber, the streaks disappeared and all that was left was a face that looked like the younger youkai. He suddenly sniffed her neck before pulling her into a tight embrace, letting a sound of joy escape his mouth.

Shippo was helping his brother off of the ground, when he saw Inuyasha hug Kaida close to his chest. He looked on in awe when he saw who it was. He was about to go over to them when Ryu's questioning eyes stopped him.

Kaida knew this place, that purr. This was her, father. She nuzzled in his chest, breathing in his scent, imprinting it in the fading spot. She bit down on her lip, drawing blood, to stop herself from crying. She licked it, to heal it when a bite came on her ear. She yipped in pain and looked at her father questioningly before he turned his head to Ryu and Shippo, Ryu who was holding his bleeding neck.

She blushed before tackling her younger brother to the ground, laughing at seeing him again. His arms came around as a chuckling escaped his lips at his older sister's show of affection. He licked her ear to heal it, as she did the same to speed up the process that was starting on his neck.

They burst into a fit of laughter and Kaida rolled off of him to hug Shippo, remembering slightly how they use to all play. In the field with her father and mother watching close by. She giggled and hugged Shippo tighter, not wanting to lose him again.

Inuyasha watched his three pups reintroduce themselves, he stood up and smiled. That quickly turned into a frown when he remembered the reason Ryu had left the cave last night. He would ask Kaida about the dream later. He didn't want her to get frightened. "Kaida, where's your mother?"

Kaida turned to her father and saw a look of desperation deep in his eyes, "I jumped into the well, after, after I had a rough night. I left early and sensed something that wanted to fight me coming. I wasn't in the mood so I jumped into the well, and here I am."

Inuyasha growled. He wanted to know what the hell was going on, how did she get to come here, when he couldn't get through, "so Kagome doesn't know you're here?"

She shook her head, "she'll smell that I was out there, and I'm sure that Ookami-niichan knew I was going out to think. They'll smell," she bit her lip, not wanting to tell what it was that was after her. She knew from stories how her father was, telling him that Naraku was back in her time, she assumed he wouldn't be happy. None the less how he came back.

Ryu suddenly thought of something, "hey if you know Ookami then why the hell did you attack me? Shouldn't you know me? I mean I'm in your time as well."

She gulped and looked at her father, sighing she bit her lip and muttered, "you can't be. You died, along with everyone."

He blinked, "nani?"

Inuyasha shot his head up, "how'd we die?"

Kaida turned away, she wanted desperately out of this, why couldn't something intervene. Something, anything, kami she'd hug Sango or Rin if they showed up through the well and tried to kill her. Inuyasha approached his pup and lifted her up to his eye level, "pup, how did we die?"

She closed her eyes and breathed out a sigh, seeing as it was unavoidable, "Naraku. He was reincarnated when Ookami was about 300 or so. You all died to kill him. Ookami only lived because Tama, his mother wouldn't let him fight."

Inuyasha growled, "so Naraku's gonna be reincarnated. And what the fuck is in your time now? You said you had a rough night, why?"

"Bad dream," she muttered.

Ryu looked at her and suddenly remembered, the girl from his dream, was Kaida. She had been raped. He growled, the person who did that to his sister would so die a painful death. Inuyasha was feeling the same as Ryu and grabbed his shoulder, shaking his head. Kaida sighed and looked around, "maybe we should get back home, I didn't really have a long sleep."

Inuyasha nodded, deciding to talk to Kouga as soon as possible. He knew telling him sooner was better than later. "I'll be back, I just gotta go get the wimpy wolf," he said before running off. The three kids blinked before Ryu picked his sister up on his back, as Inuyasha use to do for Kagome, and started running, Shippo close behind.

"Baka! Put me down! I CAN walk you know! Ryu you are so dead," she shouted in his ears, making him cringe.

"Bitch, quit that! I'll be deaf by the time you leave!"

She sniffed and turned her head towards her other laughing brother, "I can't believe I would have missed this if I had remembered." She stopped all ranting upon being unceremoniously dropped on her butt.

Her mouth dropped open in awe at how beautiful the cave was. It was by the river, and she knew the village was about 1/2 of a mile away. She walked into it, looking around her first, and what she had wished to be her only home. She knew that in the back was her father and mother's bedroom. Four guest bedrooms and then Shippo and Ryu's bedroom.

She stepped on the pelt that lay as bedding for her brothers' room and her eyes fell on the sword that lay across the room. Walking and avoiding ripped kimonos, black for Ryu and blue for Shippo, she shook her head. They were messier than Ookami. She picked up the sword and noted it was heavier than it looked.

"You shouldn't be touching stuff that isn't yours," Ryu scolded gently.

She giggled and put his sword back, "who made that? The one who made Tetsusaiga?"

Ryu nodded and picked it up, looking at it with a proud expression, "it was made from Sesshomaru's fang. And Sesshomaru's son has a sword made from dad's fang. Some kind of peace offering I guess."

"Mom never really trusted Sesshomaru, not until after they defeated Naraku the first time, and he stopped trying to kill us."

"He's tolerable. We never talk though. They made the peace offering and then that was it."

Kaida nodded and laid on the pelt, sniffing it, "this use to be my room too. And then mom left with me."

Ryu nodded hugging his sister, "what's it like in the future, on the other side of the well?"

"Dark, hell. I remember that I always was teased in school, because everyone called mom a whore. That I was a bastard. My grandfather never liked me much, saying I was the spawn of satan or something. There was this guy, Hojo or something, that use to show up until mom ran him off our property. He was really annoying. If I was older I would have killed him for all he would say to mom."

Ryu nodded, wanting to know more about what his sister's life was like, "is that why life is hell?"

"No, that was when life was nice. When mom didn't have to walk on eggshells. This was before Ookami showed up."

"What happened what Ookami showed up?" 'I swear to god if he was the one who touched my sister I will kill him so slowly and enjoy every second of it.'

Kaida sat on her brother's lap, trying to remember how safe it felt to be with him, "it happened about 15 years ago, maybe a little more. I was out running, just cooling off before dinner. When I came back I smelt a youkai. He was strong, really strong, and he was in our house. I looked in the window and the youkai, he was hugging my mother. The thing was that she wasn't protesting, she was hugging him back, seeming to soothe him. Obviously I flipped, I knew this couldn't be what it looked like, whenever mom would talk about dad, her eyes would always light up, until of course," she hid her head in his chest, "I the caught the scent of tears. Mom was crying, that bastard made her cry. I walked in and demanded to know what the fuck was going on. I had that right, right?"

Ryu nodded and started to rock Kaida who was shaking slightly, "it's alright. It's alright. What happened after that?"

"Mom's eyes went to me and she hugged me, crying and looking in my eyes. Saying how I had my father's eyes. How much she had always wanted me to see that I did. She wanted him to have seen how much I had grown. How that couldn't happen anymore. How it was just an impossible dream, one she would live in forever. The youkai turned to us and picked up my mother, she told him how much he looked like his mother. How he looked like Tama, but still had Kouga's eyes. She was remembering every detail that happened while she was in this time."

Ryu nodded, hugging his sister to his chest as tears started to stream down her face, "that's how you found out? That we, had died?"

She nodded, hugging him to her tighter, "we could never, never get it out of Ookami how it all happened. All we knew was he had come back. That he had been reincarnated, and killed our family. Mom could never talk about dad again. She never talked about you or Shippo, losing her two sons must have caused her so much pain."

Shippo was standing in the door, watching his siblings talk amongst themselves. He watched Ryu hug her closer to his chest, purring to soothe her. Shippo's attention turned else where when Inuyasha entered the cave, talking to Kouga who had Tama on his back. Kouga's eyes were bleeding red at what Inuyasha were saying and Tama looked ready to strike someone. Kouga placed his mate down and followed Inuyasha deeper into the cave.

They passed Ryu and Kaida and entered the back room, sitting down a talking amongst themselves. Ookami followed only to be stopped by the scent of someone. It was new and tired. He looked over Shippo's shoulder at his best friend and saw Ryu holding a inu-hanyou in his grip, her playful eyes sullen for the moment.

"Shippo, that going to be Ryu's mate or something?" he whispered in the kitsune's ear.

Kaida fell out of Ryu's lap, clutching her throat in a mock vomit stance, while Shippo fell forward out of shock to the suggestion. Tama was behind her son in a second and wrapped him over the head, "BAKA! THIS IS MY FUCKING NEE-SAN! THE HELL I'LL BE MATING HER!"

"So she's available?" he asked.

"NOT FOR YOU!" Ryu shouted, standing in front of his sister, with a protective glare. Shippo cuffed the back of Ookami's kimono and tossed him backwards with a flick of his wrist, "don't even try it wolf."

"Kami, you weren't kidding when you said all you weren't always this calm, semi-scared, strong and practically unbeatable wolf. You really did use to be a horny little fucker," Kaida exclaimed looking at the younger version of her idol, of sorts.

Ryu looked back at her, "so that's how Ookami, the only male you give any respect to is in your time?"

Kaida blushed and then that red came from anger, "baka. I said that so you wouldn't think me a submissive bitch. If I acted like I let people walk all over me, you might have," she cut herself up and held her neck instantly, rubbing the bump of the mark.

"I woulda what nee-san?" he watched her with a critical eye. She was backing away, her eyes distant and unfocused.

Inuyasha sensed his daughter's change in mood and also the way she was holding her neck, "Kaida, what's that on your neck?"

She snapped back to attention, "oh it's, this is nothing. Just a scratch."

Inuyasha was on her faster than anyone could blink and had pulled her hand away, pinning her claws down as he sniffed at the mark, "it's a mating mark, but it, has no scent. Why the fuck doesn't your mark have a scent?"

Kaida tried to pull away, "get the fuck off! The scent is protected by miko magic. Kaa-san and Ookami, along with myself hate the scent that the mark gives me so she blocked it off."

Inuyasha growled, "who marked you?"

"None of your business."

"The hell with that theory little girl. You will tell me what the hell is going on in your time right now before I go through the fucking well and find out myself."

"Try it! Go through the damn well. If you think you can kick Naraku's ass when you died just to take away most of his power you're more of a fucking baka than kaa-san ever thought!"

Inuyasha pulled his disobedient pup up with him, and bit into her ear hard, making the room smell of blood, "pup, your mother may be loose with punishments, but I am NOT a patient person. You will tell me, along with all of us, what the hell is going on beyond the well. NOW!"

Kaida whimpered, and watched as everyone sat down, looking at her expectantly. Ookami between his parents, while Shippo and Ryu sat in front of her. Begging with eyes to know what had hurt her. She dropped her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and spoke in a whisper, starting to tell just what the hell was going on.

"Ryu, you know what I was telling you. About how I met up with Ookami, and he told us that you had all died?" when she saw him nod she took another breath and continued, "kaa-san, she wanted to know why he was back now. Why he chose this moment to show himself. He told us that you guys hadn't killed Naraku, merely stalled him. Took away most of his power, he still had a soul and it was plotting. It just needed a substantial amount of life energy to come back.

"Ookami also told us that, Naraku was again after the jewel. The jewel isn't in our time. Kaa-san can't sense it and knows that it is in this time. Naraku doesn't though. No one knows why he wants the jewel though, when he was reincarnated, he was youkai, not hanyou."

"So Naraku still wants the jewel? Is that what drew him back to be reincarnated?" Tama asked with a look of thought in her face.

"Yes, I think so. About a month after Ookami came, Naraku got his life force."

"How?" Inuyasha asked in a low growl.

"He just did, we don't know how, but he did," Kaida answered in a harsh whisper, "he came back. That's all we know, he was back and he wanted the jewel. He made these spawn, his alter selves. They were the body's the actual body's, not clay and mud and ash like Kikyo, but real flesh and blood. Sango and Rin. That's who he used."

"He took Sango's reincarnated form?" Inuyasha demanded.

"No, it was kinda like Kohaku, that's what kaa-san always compared it to. Except their eyes were clear, they were conscious of all the actions they were doing, the only difference in them was their hearts. They had cold hearts."

"Like Kanna and Kagura," Kouga mused.

"I guess. Rin and Sango fight us now, Ookami can't bare to fight much anymore, it doesn't help that Naraku's miasma got to him awhile ago. Naraku is still trying to, regain his lost energy. He doesn't send out puppets, not like with you guys. Since he killed most youkai the first time he was back, and more just died out, kaa-san, Ookami and myself are the only ones, of the very few left," Kaida finished and held onto her father for dear life, until he deposited her in the lap of Shippo.

"Everyone stay. I need to go see something," Inuyasha said before running off.

Ryu looked at his sister in the arms of his older brother, "that still doesn't explain the mark," he growled, "or the dream."

Her eyes widened before trying to compose herself, "what dream?"

"You know which one. The one that sent you to the well in the first place. The one that gets shorter the more vivid it gets. The one where you are being fucking RAPED!" Ryu couldn't handle being subtle, he needed to break something, kill someone. Take the pain that his sister shared unknowingly with him. If he was never there and felt that much pain, to be the one, getting hurt, he couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of hell she had been through.

The breath caught in her throat and both Tama and Kouga had stopped talking amongst themselves, watching the scene that was in front of them. Ryu was just giving brotherly instincts to protect his sister from harm, while she was obviously hiding something, leaving an important detail out of her whole tale.

Kaida shook her head and looked her brother in the eye, "a dream, nothing real. I just made it up, you know childish fears."

"You've been having it for 15 fucking YEARS! NOT ONE DAY! THAT KIND OF SHIT DOESN'T HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE IF IT'S JUST A CHILDISH FEAR. AND ISN'T IT SUCH A STRANGE THING THAT IT STARTED ABOUT THE SAME TIME OOKAMI SHOWED UP IN YOUR TIME? YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T JUST JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS AND RIP THAT BAKA WOLF'S THROAT OUT BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE LOOKED AT YOU!" Ryu took a deep breath but Kaida wasn't about to let her protector get bashed.

"DON'T YOU LAY A FINGER ON OOKAMI! IT'S NOT HIS FAULT! HE NEVER TOUCHED ME!"

"THEN WHY THE HELL DO I SMELL HIM ALL OVER YOU?!"

"BECAUSE I SLEEP WITH HIM!" she shouted but realized that was the wrong thing to say. With that said Ryu turned and jumped on Ookami quickly, digging his claws into the wolf, who didn't try to fight, to shocked at how that was taken.

Kaida tried to get to her brother but Kouga already had grabbed him off of Ookami and flung him across the room, "don't touch my son hanyou!"

Ryu picked himself up, his eyes bleeding red, "he touched my sister. I don't care if it was in her time or not, he touched her, so he will die!"

Kaida finally turned to Ryu and put herself between him and Ookami, "no Ryu! Ookami never touched me!"

"But you said," he pointed out.

"He sleeps with me, yes. But not in the way you're thinking He does that because then my mate can't try and contact me. It's a disturbance. He's like my older brother. He watches out for me and never tried to do anything to hurt me. Now I know why, he was your friend. He was merely doing the exact same thing you would have done."

"I'm your brother."

"Not in my time. In my time Ookami and kaa-san were all I had. If kaa-san couldn't get there in time Ookami would calm me down! He would help chase away the terror that haunted me. Yes I was raped 15 years ago. I'm fucking coping. Don't you dare start and try to put blame on yourself, and never attack Ookami over me! He's my older brother. I love him. He is the only male in my time I respected, and the only male outside of my family I would lay my life down for. If you can't handle the fact that in my time we shared a bed, in the least sexual way possibly way then back down!" Kaida said now on the verge of tears for opening herself up so much.

Tama wrapped her arms around the girl, "it's alright Kaida, Ryu wants to protect you, you're his sister. He knows you've been hurt, he doesn't want that to ever happen again. No need to get mad."

"But Ookami is so special to me, he always protects me. I can't bare to watch him die."

Tama chuckled, "Kaida dear, Ryu would never hurt Ookami intentionally, well that's not true. He would never kill him without good reason. They're best friends, just like my mate and your father."

"I only tolerate that mangy mutt, because of Kagome," Kouga muttered watching his son with weary suspicion.

Tama rolled her eyes, "he really does care about your father, as impossible as that may sound." Kaida giggled, feeling more relaxed than ever.
*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha reached the well and jumped onto the lip of it, "here goes nothing," he muttered before jumping into the well, landing on his hands and knees. Nothing.

"How the hell did Kaida get through?"

"Inuyasha-sama?" a voice asked.

Inuyasha looked down at the flea on his shoulder, "well, well Myouga, I'm in shock. What the hell do you want?"

"You are trying to get through the well are you not?"

"Very observant flea, do you know a way to get through or not?"

"Well may I first ask why you wish to go through it in the first place?"

"To get my mate out of danger! Kaida's here and she's been marked, ain't telling us shit about it. And on top of that Naraku is back! If I can hold that bastard off then I'm happy."

"Uh, Inuyasha-sama, then why not try to use the jewel. Would Kagome-sama not sense the jewels if there really is an opening in the time change and be able to pull the jewel through, like she has done before?"

Inuyasha looked at the flea in shock, "when the hell did you get so smart?"

"Well I like to think that I," Myouga started off only to have Inuyasha bound off quickly, making him have to hold on for dear life.

Inuyasha wanted to get the jewel, but that would require asking the monk's grandchild to let him see it, and he smelt the anger in Ryu's scent. He could risk him going youkai on them at the moment. He would get the jewel, and get Kagome back here. In her real time, right where she belonged.
END CHAPTER
AH, 12 pages of absolute explanation and no action, well very little action. And swearing! Tons of swearing, not good right? Hope you liked it, and please review. It's so nice when you review, makes me know I'm not wasting my time when I procrastinate important things, like writing something else.
