For those of you who have already read this chapter please re-read it, I have made a few changes and the story continues. To answer a question yes Kagome is a hanyou, but I think you will like what kind she turns out to be. I maybe jumping just a little ahead of myself, but just want you to know that you find out in a few chapters I think why Sesshoumaru is so protective of Rin.

Inuyasha's Summer Vacation

A Window to the Past - Part 2

Last time

Inuyasha and Kagome are out cold, Ji-chan and his group of dirty old men are in Fl, Souta is some at camp in the US, Sango and Miroku are on their way back to Keade's village while Sumi and Shippou met up with Sesshoumaru and are being told stories of the past.

Continuing her story Keade told them about these two young mikos and the youkai who loved them.

Both were beautiful with long, wavy, black hair, brown eyes and flawless cream-colored skin. Namikki was a very quiet, but she was full of life. She caught the attention of the great dog demon. Sumi was very talkative and just bubbling with energy. They had been sent to the village to train with the priestess of that village. They had been there since the age of five. When the village was attacked, they had just about finished their training so they were hidden in a closet and told not to make a sound.

Both of the women were taken back to the castle. Being that one of the other villages that had been attacked was their home they had nowhere to go, neither demon was could bear to part with them. As time past the four soon became close and later mates. The young women agreed that when they gave birth to their first-born that they would be betrothed and later married thus joining the two families.

Inutaishi already had a son, Sesshoumaru. He had never mated Sesshoumaru's mother, it had been a spring fling and he never knew that she was pregnant until one day the child was left at the castle gates. By the time Inu found her to ask her why she hadn't let him know sooner it was too late she was dead. He never knew it he had any real feelings for her, but out of respect that she was the mother of his child he gave her a proper burial. Sesshoumaru was heir to his lands, but when Inuyasha was born, he decided to divide his land in half so that both sons would have equal shares. He also had swords made for each of them.

Kami and Sumi had a girl child the same day that Inuyasha was born only a year later and named her Kagome. Being that they were the only two hanyou in the land, these two were deemed as special, and sign as the start of a new order. This was sign that youkai and humans could live in peace and harmony.

Both sets of parents decided to hold a betrothal ceremony when Kagome was six months old. Over the next six months after the ceremony as they grew, they were inseparable along with their protector Sesshoumaru. Little did the families know that trouble was brewing right under their nose, it was close. There were a few youkai that didn't like humans at all then there were others that could tolerate humans as long as they stayed where they belonged… far beneath them. It was one thing to come into their home as slaves, but it was another to let them think that they were on the same level as a youkai. Now there was a new breed, it was just too much to handle.

By the time Inuyasha was two and Kagome was one, all the youkai who hated the idea of demons with humans, started to revolt. It wasn't safe for the women and children to stay in the castle. Inutaishi sent Inuyasha and Namikki to his castle in the middle of a secluded lake and he told her cast a spell to hide it from view. Sumi and Kagome were sent to the village that Kikyo was living in with her mother at the time.

Kikyo was three at this time so upon meeting the new little girl she was happy to have a new little playmate. (I know Kikyo being happy is hard to believe. Well in my fic for now she is.) Namikki helped Sumi cast a spell on herself and Kagome to hide their scent as well as change their appearance. So to everyone in the village they were just two people wandering looking for a new place to live because of their village being destroyed.

"Kaggie come play with me."

"K Kiki," said a little Kagome as she ran to play by the river with Kikyo and her mother.

Tsuki, Kikyo's mom watched Kagome while Sumi continued with her training as a priestess. Kagome was adjusting to her new life very well. She didn't know what was going on, but she had someone to play with so she didn't think about the little Inu hanyou that was very much missing his partner in crime. Kagome was with Tsuki so much that most of the village was saying that Kagome could past for Kikyo's twin if she had been the same age. They had been in the village for at least a good four months when one day Sumi was sent word through her link with Kami that things were getting out of hand, that he would need for her and Kagome to go farther away, and that he would send word when he would come for them.

"Tell Kagome that I love her and to be good until we are once again together. I love you Sumi and we will be together before to long. I promise."

"Just be careful Kami and hurry, please."

Sumi thought it would be a good idea to leave in the middle of the night that way she wouldn't have to explain why they had to leave and no one would try to stop her. Relying on her resent training Sumi was suppose to cast a spell that would cause the villager to forget that they were ever there, but some thing went wrong. Instead of her just erasing any traces of her self and Kagome, she mispronounced the incantation and sent them five hundred years into the future. There were a few good things about the mistake she made, one was that Namikki knew of the mistake she made, though she could not fix it, she could still find away to help Kagome and Inuyasha meet again one day; and two Ookami would one day be able to see his family again. Sumi was trying to do two spells at once and in her haste she did erase everyone memory in the feudal era to include her mate, well everyone that is except Namikki who was a more powerful miko than Sumi. Sumi was also suppose to send Kagome and herself to some where safe, but close enough to her mate so that she still felt safe. Instead, they stayed in the village just in a different and safer time.

As for Inuyasha, the betrothal had not been called off just an added clause to insure that Kagome at least got a chance to meet Inuyasha in the future should things work the way she was planning them. Namikki got to work and cast a spell that would allow any Inu youkai to pass through to the future. It would go into affect when the fighting was over and there was some tolerance of peace between humans and youkai. After the war finally ended about two months later most of the youkai that had started the revolt had been killed or mortally wounded and would not last through the night. However, with the ones that lay dying on the battlefield was Inutaishi and his best friend Ookami. Inu called to his son and made him promise to look after his brother, stepmother and the family best friend and comrade. Ookami had died just minutes before and he asked Inu to watch over his family for him. Not wanting to deny a dying man his last wish because he knew he would never see his family again either he agreed. Thus passing on the last minute instructions to his son, he took his last breath and joined his friend in the after life.

Namikki moved herself and Inuyasha to a hut just outside of the castle hidden in the forest for one to protect her son and this way she felt that she could keep an eye on her best friend and her daughter.

Keade finished telling them what she knew of Kikyo and Inuyasha's history, and sipped her tea quietly.

Meanwhile in a clearing not too far from the village:

"My dear Sango, what will we tell Kagome and Inuyasha? Surely they will be hurt if we wait too long to tell them that we are going to be married."

"We'll tell them as soon as they get back from their vacation."

Not only would they have news about a wedding, but also a baby was on the way.

Ok, I need to know if you want this to be strictly a Kagome/Inuyasha fic or do you want me to add the other as well. If I do any lemons, they will be posted on Media Miner. Just let me know how I am doing. I'm not a writer so I really do need your help to let me know if I am doing ok. As long as the criticism is good, I don't mind reading it. I will make Sesshoumaru and Rin a couple and find out more about the relationship between all of them in later chapters. Since you all know about the what happened to Kikyo and Inuyasha already I won't go into that, that way I can jump ahead and start with Kagome's transformation, training for them both and why Rin was able to change Sesshoumaru.

Do your duty! Read and Review!!!
