Both Anika and Sinu had finishe, and Upon hearing Kagomes words, she asked. "Where are you going Kagome, I just got here do you have to leave."

Inuyasha had muttered "Finally." before leaving the house and going to the well.

"She has to drop that stuff off at a friends house. She'll be back soon ... don't you worry." Kagome's mother said giving her the chance to leave.

Kagome took the oppurtunity and ran to the old well where Inuyasha was waiting. "Sorry ... lets go."

Anika watched Kagome leave. "Auntie, how does Kagome know that Inuyasha?" She asked.

Inuyasha glared at Kagome. "Lets get back. By the way, whats with the silver hair and gold eyes on that kid."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. "I could ask you the same question." She climbed over the edge of the well and jumped in not waiting for his answer.

Inuyasha growled and jumped in after Kagome.

Anika still looked at her Aunt, waiting for an answer.

"Well dear, she met him on an out of town trip you might say." Kagome's mother cleare the table and began to wash the dishes.

Kagome climbed out of the well and looked around. It was still as beautiful as always, and just as dangerous.

Anika nodded. "I see, well, i think I will take Shinu out to look around." She said as she took her daughter out to the yard.

Sango tended to a small flower bed. It was getting late. She looked up at the sound of footsteps and smiled seeing Kagome and Inuyasha.

Before Anika took Shinu outside. She grabbed her pack and made sure that the only thins in it were clothes for her and her daughter. Once out side Shinu went straight to the well house. "Mama, doggy." She saidf and pointed. "Just as i thought." Anikas said approching. "Inuyasha is from the feudel era." She took her daughter into her arms and held her tight as she went to the Well. "Shinu, don't be scared." the little girl nodded just before Anika jumped. When Anika looked up, she saw trees and some sky. She was ready to cry, but knew it had to wait. Having Sinu hold on to hert back, Anika Climded out of the well.

Inuyas mumble something about women befor jumping into a near by tree.

Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled at Sango. "Oh well ... guess he doesn't want his ninga snacks." She walked into the hut and set her pack down. "Where's Miroku and Shippo?" She asked looking around.

After climbing out of the well, Anika looked around and sighed. "Shinu, we're home." She said and continued walking. It wasn't long before she heard her cousin. That was when Shinu pointed up and shouted. "DOGGY!"

Inuyashs heard the child shouting and looked, ther was Kagomes cousin and her kid. "What the. . .?"

Kagome stepped back out of the shack when she heard a noise. She saw her cousin step out of the trees. "Anika... what ... how... why did you come here, it's dangerous ... especially with Shinu."

Anika swallowed. "I know whats it like here Kagome. I used to be able to come to the past alot until two years ago." She put Shinu down. "Truth is, Shinu's father is of this time."

Anika's words made Kagome glance at Inuyasha. "Oh?" She asked turning her attention back to her cousin. "Well ... perhaps we could help you find him."

_________________

Anika smiled as she remebered the father of her child. "He will be hard to find. I met him out of pure luck when I first got here. Well, it was more like I bumped into him when running from a demon, he killed it, and I followed him. He also dosedn't like making him self known widly, and he doesn't talk alot. H'es really protective." She started having a dreamy look on her face as she continued. "He would do what ever it took to keep me safe, even if it meant making the toad with the staff look after me." She laughed. "And when ever that toad insulted me for the first while, Mybeloved would hit him untill the little guy squealed for forgiveness."

Anika's words caught Kagome off guard. She looked over at Inuyasha once again, then back at her cousin. No ... she can't possibly have ment ... could she? She thought, then dismisssed it. "Why don't we go inside, it will be getting dark here soon." She reached up and clasped the pink jewl shard that ung round her neck.
