SORRY FOR THE OVERLY LONG WAIT! I hope you all enjoy this chapter it is the last one in this story. I have loved writing this and reading your reviews.

RECAP:

I put a hand on my stomach in surprise and slight embarrassment then I looked down at Shesshomaru and found two golden eyes watching me. "We will talk about this, whatever this is, later. Right now I am hungry and going to get something to eat." I told him in a very no-nonsense tone before I turned and headed for the cave entrance.

CHAPTER TWELVE

I didn't get to the entrance of the cave when Shesshomaru had me pulled back against him, his one hand splayed across my stomach holding me to his chest as he nuzzled my neck which was feeling tender, almost like the bit from the chibi Shesshomaru had been re-bitten by the older Shesshomaru.I was surprised and slightly embarrassed by his ardent show of love as he begin to growl low in his throat and plant kisses on my neck and shoulders. I was torn between the feeling of wanting to return his affection and wanting to get something to eat. Finally I turned and began to return his affection and for the next several weeks we only left the cave to hunt and eat, as I learned how to use and control my new gifts.

I also found to my surprise, Shesshomaru had my backpack which I had forgotten oh so long ago, and he hadn't touched anything inside. I immediately opened it and washed my clothes and gave him the present that I had been meaning to give to him before. He was surprised and slightly confused by my giving him a gift so I explained that I had seen it and thought of him and therefore bought it for him. He opened the gift and I watched curiosity spark in his eyes as he looked my gift over, it was a puzzle box that when done just right the center would pop out and inside that there was a picture of a painting I had done of Shesshomaru and myself sitting in the Castle Garden with Shesshomaru laying his head on my shoulder while I read a book. I told him how to open the box and he played around with it here and there and finally one day opened it. He was amazed at the picture within it and he made sure to leave it in there so nothing happened to it.

Finally one day after we washed and dressed, we left the cave began to head for the well. Over the past several weeks I had only thought of home when I first woke up on the first day but after that my thoughts of home vanished and were only now returning. Shesshomaru's tail was wrapped around my waist holding me close to him, and my tail in turn was wrapped around his waist keeping him close to me as well as we walked through the forest. Walking it took us over ten hours to reach the well house, we only stopped once and that was because I had been thirsty.

When we finally reached the well-house I was only slightly surprised to see it was surrounded by the same faces I had seen hugging Kagome good-bye the last time I had been over here, including Inu-yasha. Whom I now knew was Shesshomaru's half-brother. Everyone gasped as soon as they saw me and how close Shesshomaru and I were except Inu-yasha he looked surprised but didn't gasp or say anything. I ignored all of them and headed straight for the well-house, Shesshomaru keeping pace at my side. I was about to jump in when the pink light shown and the scent of honey and vanilla with a touch of cinnamon met my nose. I curiously looked down the well and felt my eyes widen slightly as I saw Kagome standing at the bottom. "Kags, Grab my hand." I said as I reached my clawed fingers down into the well.

After several moments of me wincing in pain from her loud voice hurting my sensitive ears I managed to make out that she missed me and everyone had been worried about me. "I'm fine my mate would never let me face danger alone." I said without thinking about it. I heard Shesshomaru's low growl of approval and then once again my sensitive ears were attacked by Kagome's loud voice as she began to holler at Shesshomaru. I stepped in between the two of them and held a hand up to stop Kagome. "Listen, I need to go talk to mother right now however after that you can ask me any question you like and I'll do my best to answer it, but please lower your voice your injuring my ears." I said.

"Fine Mystique but I expect you to answer all of my questions!" Kagome said. I raised an eyebrow at her tone, a low growl surprised both me and her as it came from my chest. "Do not treat me like a kid Kagome I am your elder, and call me Isami it is after all my birth name." I said, baring my teeth slightly. I was stunned at my own actions but I could tell Shesshomaru approved of them which led me to think my actions had something to do with the new 'me'. "I'm going over, I'll be back soon, don't go into a rage okay?." I said giving Shesshomaru a kiss before jumping down the well, pulling Kagome down alone with me.

The pink light that I was beginning to regard as normal surrounded us and once again we were back to our time. I easily jumped out of the well in a single leap, pulling Kagome up and out with me. I peeked out the well-house door and immediately clenched my hand over my nose, I hadn't realized how much the 21st Century stunk. It was dusk so after listening for a minute and finding no-one near I dashed out of the well-house and hurriedly entered our home, holding onto Kagome the whole time. Letting Kagome go and taking a few tentative sniffs with my new nose I found that the inside of the house contained more pleasant odors so I was able to breathe through my nose. "Mother, I'm back…and I've changed a little….again." I said.

Thankfully mother didn't faint this time however I was in a hurry to get back to my mate, a.k.a. Shesshomaru so I had everyone sit down in the living room, including Inu-yasha who had followed immediately after us. I figured his main reason for following us over to our time was mainly to tick of Shesshomaru who by himself couldn't pass through the well. Anyway once everyone settled down I started telling them everything, from the day I had left Japan to what had transpired just a few minutes before I came back to the 21st Century. The whole time everyone listened but I could feel mother staring at my ears, I had a bad feeling about that and so I stayed tense, ready to move within seconds.

"So basically I'm a Inu-yuki, and I have miko powers. I have decided to start going by my first name, also I'm mated to Shesshomaru and I've decided to live in the Feudal Era from now on with my mate, which is why I want to stock up on personal items while I'm over here so I'll be leaving now." I said summarizing everything before I stood up and headed to my room to get changed into clothes that would hide my new appendages and fit my new form. I used a black hat with a violet sparkly bow on the side of it to cover my ears. Then I grabbed a black off the shoulder quarter length sleeved shirt, and a pair of jean hip-huger jeans that had been a size and a half to big for me before, I wrapped my tail around my waist making it look like it was a belt. Then I pulled on a pair of black leather ankle boots and my wallet before heading for the door, my magic bag in hand and hit the town.

Ten hours later even my new stamina was taking a slight dive, the sights, smells and sounds all around me weren't helping me and I was eager to finish my shopping and get back to my mate. I was passing by a child's store when I saw a toy I knew Rin would love. I came back out forty minutes later with 165729.43 Yen less then what I had before. I had spent roughly the equivalent of 1,365 dollars. I couldn't help but laugh at myself as I walked back to the Sunset Shrine. I walked up the stairs as there were people walking past below me, when I finally reached the top I went back inside the house intent on packing up everything in my room except of course anything that contained technology. I was back down in the living room not twenty-five minutes' later, I could feel the magic bag getting ready to burst from everything that I had shoved in it that last eleven hours.

I went to tell my family goodbye, my mother was furious, "You will NOT be staying over there! In fact I don't want to hear you mention anything about that well-house ever again." I raised an eyebrow and walked to the front door and opened it before turning to face my mother, "One I know technically to you I am still a teenager that you have the right to tell what to do but I am older than that, I have lived several years in the past and I am well over the age of adulthood. Two you cannot expect me to leave my mate and never see him again that would kill both him and me. Three, I love you and more than likely the present me will come see you within a short period of me leaving now." I said. Mother, Ojii-chan, Kagome and Souta were all crying at this point looked at me with confusion. "What do you mean the present you will come see us, you're leaving are you not?" Kagome asked.

I smiled at her, "What I mean by that is, the well takes me to the Feudal Era which is this day's past however for me who will be living in the past, this is my future and since I'm an Inu-yuki now I have no doubt I will live to see you guys again in this Century. I have to go now Shesshomaru's probably getting really upset right about now." I said giving all four of them a hug and a kiss on the forehead. "This will be the last time 'I' see you however you'll see 'me' again real soon, I have no doubt. And mother more than likely you're going to be a grandma." I said before giving them all a great big smile, even though on the inside I was hurting at the thought of going hundreds of years without seeing my immediate family again.

"See you soon!" Kagome hollered as I opened the door to the well house, I turned back for one last look at my family that was gathered on the porch and gave them the biggest smile I could muster before turning and jumping down the well.

EPILOUGE

Isami and Shesshomaru adopted Rin as their child for all to see and acknowledge. There were those who disapproved but Isami and Shesshomaru made sure that Rin could handle herself if they weren't there and soon everyone knew better then to bother the human who was considered to be Isami and Shesshomaru's first pup. Isami and Shesshomaru traveled with the Inu-gang and after a year of traveling together they were able to destroy Naruku once and for all. Kagome and the well-house vanished from the Feudal Era after Naruku's defeat and Inu-yasha and Isami were almost inconsolable at first. However they decided to hold onto the knowledge that they would see Kagome again one day in the future and they begin to live again.

Two years after Kagome and the well disappeared, the well re-appeared and Kagome came back. She had chosen to live in the Feudal Era with Inu-yasha and her sister and friends. At first Isami was worried that Kagome wouldn't live long enough to meet up with their mother, grandfather and brother again however Inu-yasha mated with Kagome four months after Kagome came back and Kagome became 1/4th Inu-Yuki and with her miko powers, which had continued to grow the two years she had been gone it was assured that Kagome would live a long life. Isami found out that she was pregnant not two weeks before Kagome had come back and was excited to share that with her little sister. Life continued on for them, Kaede, Miroku, Sango and Rin died one by one, however they all lived full and rich lives and their children and grand-children were constantly watched over by Kagome, Isami, Inu-Yasha and Shesshomaru. Inu-yasha and Shesshomaru made up and over the years they both grew up and grew close, having no other choice as their mates were sisters and refused to miss out on each other's kids just because of their stubbornness.

And one day, a week after Kagome had left for the Feudal Era there was four adult visitors each carrying a little bundle of joy. Two tall men with silver hair and two women with black hair, one of the two women knocked on the Higurashi front door, the door opened a moment later and both women outside the home broke out into large smiles, "Hello mother. We're home."
