Magatsuhi knew that something was desperately wrong the moment he felt his jewel soul partner's energy flare dangerously high. He let out a swear as he took off looking for Midoriko. After ten minutes of not finding a single hint of the still insane Miko, he turned his attention to the outside of the jewel. He tapped into his sword to see if he could see what was going on. Thankfully he saw Kagome lying peacefully on her bed, there didn't seem to be anything particularly wrong with her. He didn't see nor sense Midoriko in the home either. So, where in the hell was Midoriko?

He decided to manifest himself and he walked over to the sleeping kid. Yeah, he had been a bit of a jerk the past week, but he was tired of the kid underestimating herself. The initial damage that damned Inuyasha did to her self esteem was really freaking hard to get her past. While the half-breed may have stopped shitting on her after about a year and a half the damage seemed to be already deeply buried. He had been hoping to be a bit of a wake-up force in the matter. It hadn't seemed to help and only strained their relationship. He had to remember that the kid wasn't a demon, her brain didn't work the same way demons did. Tough love wasn't the way to go with this kid.

He reached out shook her shoulder to try and wake her up. A frown pulled at his lips as she didn't even twitch. He shook her harder, again nothing. Worry started building within him as he remembered Midoriko's power flare. He flared his own Yokai in an attempt to shock her awake. To his horror, he had to jump back as a barrier of Midoriko's Ki bloomed up around the kid. What did Midoriko do to his kid?

He immediately knew that he needed help. As long as that barrier was hidden around the kid he couldn't do anything. He tried his best to avoid interacting with other humans in this world, but now he would have no choice. Not if he wanted to try and interrupt whatever Midoriko's plan was. He had only met the kid's new brother once and a half. The first time he had manifested he knew that the brother was closeby but he hadn't interacted with him then, and he had manifested during one training session to see how well he could handle the environment in this world. Looks like he would have to talk to him once again.

He walked out of the kid's room and headed towards the older human's room. Thankfully the red-headed female was out in a mission so he wouldn't have to deal with her. He honestly, didn't like her. Kurama he liked, his prison warden he did not. He already naturally didn't like humans, to begin with, Kagome was the cute little exception. The way these humans disrespected and practically tortured the demons in their world truly pissed him off.

He sensed something was off the moment he opened the door. Kagome's own Ki was practically wrapped around the man. Had she sensed something was wrong at the last minute and called out with her Ki? If that had happened and with Minato being the closest person her Ki would have simply latched onto him. Well, now what the hell was he supposed to do? Would he even have enough energy to be able to leave the compound and find other help? The closest ally that actually knew shit would be the spiky-haired smartass. Would he be able to get further than the compound gates without Kagome grounding him? He wasn't even sure if he was supposed to be able to be out now with her technically unconscious. He should be able to manifest no problem while she is asleep, but unconsciousness was different than simply being asleep. He wasn't going to think too hard about it, however. Don't question the things that are going for you was the general rule he worked with.

To better ground himself, he ducked back into Kagome's room and grabbed his sword. The weapon would hopefully give him enough time to get the ally and make him understand that something was very wrong. He had never met any of her other allies other than her teacher, so best case scenario he would actually listen to a complete stranger.

He took off at a sprint towards the Nara district. He could feel himself being drawn back towards the jewel by the time he got halfway to his goal. By the time he got to the door of the guy he needed it was actually painful to keep himself manifested. He was already flickering in and out visibility. He did NOT have long. He didn't even bother with knocking, he just blasted the door down. The human could replace it later.

The human clearly must have heard the destruction of his door as he suddenly appeared in the doorway he knew was his bedroom from the kid coming here so much. The shinobi was already activating his shadow jutsu and to his shock Magatsuhi actually got caught. He froze against his will, but he didn't really care. He was running out of time and he needed this human to listen to him. He saw the moment the human saw the sword in his hand as his eyes narrowed him suspicion and slight rage. Good, he would know that something was wrong with the kid.

"You need to listen cuz' I don't have long. Midoriko has done something to the kid and I can't wake her up. She accidentally pulled her brother along with the crazed Miko's plan so I couldn't go to him for help. Can't wake him up either. You need to do something to help her because I can't." Magatsuhi rushed out as he flickered out of sight once again before he pulled himself back together. The slight moment of fazing out, let him escape from the man's jutsu. Huh, that was interesting to know.

"Who are you?" Shikaku asked out cautiously. He knew way too much about Kagome's situation for him to be a complete enemy, but it was always best to be on the cautious side. He was surprised when the man flickered out of sight and escaped his jutsu, but he didn't reactivate it. He would give the man a chance. Especially since he was actively able to hold onto Kagome's sword without getting miasma burns.

"I'm sure the little princess told you about me, the name's Magatsuhi." His face scrunched up in pain as it felt he was getting torn apart, "I'm out of time, you have to help her." he held out the sword to the man, "Get this back to her would you. I needed it to stabilize myself long enough to get here."

Shikaku raised an eyebrow, "I am not touching that sword. I know what happens to people who touch that."

Magatsuhi rolled his eyes, "Just don't touch the hilt. The sheath is safe enough as long as Kagome trusts you and you definitely land in the trust zone." He didn't even give the man a choice as he tossed the sword at him before forcefully getting pulled back into the jewel. It would take him a while to be able to manifest again, so hopefully, the human believed him enough to look into it.

Shikaku looked down at the sword he had caught on reflex and simply marveled for a moment that he wasn't getting burned. So, the man wasn't lying about that it would seem. He needed to get in touch with Inoichi and the Hokage if the man was telling the truth. The Hokage would then track down Jiraiya and they could begin their plan that they had been working on. Jiraiya had believed that he completed the necessary seal to finally make Midoriko not a problem anymore. It was apparently very close to the seal used to seal the tailed-beasts into jinchuriki. They couldn't tell Kagome about it as there was always the risk that Midoriko was listening in on the conversation. Unfortainetly, they needed to wait until Midoriko showed herself once again as they had to place the seal onto the insane lady herself. He made two clones of himself, one to go grab Inoichi, and the other to inform the Hokage, before heading straight towards the Namikaze district.

Minato was beyond confused. He had been in the middle of a pretty nice dream when he was violently ripped out of it. For a moment he thought that somebody had woken him up, but that wouldn't explain the fact that he had no idea where he was. He quickly glanced around and saw two women, one standing not too far from him and the other sitting on the edge of an old well. Neither looked like they were suddenly going to attack him so he couldn't stop himself from asking…

"Where the hell am I?"

He heard the woman standing next to him say out, "You're alive." At about the same time.

The woman on the well stood up and spun towards them and Minato felt his breath catch in his throat. She looked very much like his little sister only grown up as she used to be.

The woman standing close to him suddenly rushed forward and pulled the older Kagome, who he wasn't 100% sure about actually being his little sister, into a tight desperate hug.

"We all thought you had died." The woman breathed out desperately.

'Kagome' returned the hug but made eye contact with him and it was then he knew he couldn't keep denying the woman was his little sister. Who now looked a year older than he was.

"How are you here?" Kagome asked them both.

"I honestly don't know where here is," Minato answered.

Kikyo pulled back and seemed to look Kagome over for any injury, "I felt a pull originating from the small bit of your soul that I still hold and I willingly followed it. Where is here?"

Kagome motioned for Minato to come closer as she started trying to explain, "I had originally thought I was in my mindscape, but now I don't know about that. Right as I fell asleep I felt Midoriko's Ki flare and I'm unable to wake myself up. So, I don't know for sure where here is, but it does look a lot like the actual feudal era. My mindscape doesn't extend further than the god tree it usually just ends in shadows, but I can clearly see mountains that I normally can't."

Kikyo glanced at Minato with a look of distrust, "Who is he?"

Kagome glanced at them both and she realized they wouldn't know each other, "Oh, sorry. This is Minato Namikaze, he took me into his family and he's my brother now. Minato this is Kikyo, the person that I was reincarnated from." She turned her attention back onto Kikyo as she started explaining, "When I fell through the portal I was thrown into an entirely different world. It would have killed me but I was saved by someone Midoriko didn't see coming."

Kikyo frowned, "You talk like you have been there for a while."

A frown pulled at Kagome's own lips, "How long have I been gone?" she asked in a concerned tone.

"Nearly a week," Kikyo answered bluntly.

Kagome's jaw dropped and she quickly shared a look with Minato, "It's been nearly two years since I arrived. Right?" she asked Minato for a second opinion.

Minato nodded, "In three more months it'll have been two whole years."

Kagome sent him an odd look, "Why do you know that to such a specific degree?"

A light blush flushed across his face, "It's important to remember certain events. It's your anniversary to coming into my life."

"Awe, you big old softy." Kagome teased before turning more serious, "What are we going to do? How do we get out?"

Kikyo frowned in consideration, "I believe I have heard of something similar at one point. If I am correct it is something that Tsubaki did a few times in her career. We are stuck in a dreamscape with the only way to escape is to destroy a totem. Tsubaki would trap people in a dream where nobody could wake them up and in turn they died."

"We should find this totem then, what do you think it will be?" Minato asked seriously.

"I am unsure, nobody ever escaped from Tsubaki's curse to tell, and Tsubaki herself never told anybody what she used. Plus, Midoriko's totem could be something very different from Tsubaki's." Kikyo explained then she thought in consideration, "We will need extra help, or we will never find it in time. While we might not be able to escape, I might be able to pull more people in."

Kagome froze in shock, she clearly meant her feudal family. There was a chance she may be able to finally say goodbye for good? However, she didn't want to risk their safety for this, "There is no reason to risk their lives for this." She said with a bit of sadness in her voice.

Kikyo put her hands on Kagome's shoulders and gave her a hard look, "Do you honestly think that they would hesitate a single moment to help you?"

Kagome merely shook her head. Kikyo nodded before walking away a bit to sit down and start meditating.

"What is she doing?" Minato asked.

"She's going to search for our friend's minds and pull them in one by one," Kagome told him.

Minato lit up slightly, "I'll get to meet your old friends?" it was something he always wanted but knew that it was impossible due to being on separate worlds.

"It would seem so," Kagome said worriedly. She was extremely excited to see her friends again, most likely for the last time, but if something happened to them because of her she would never forgive herself.

Minato bumped shoulders with her, "We'll be fine."

Kagome let out a worried laugh, "You don't understand just how brutal the feudal era can be. The elemental nations can be plenty deadly, but the feudal era is an entirely different danger all together."

"It's odd you nearly being the same height as me." He commented lowly.

Kagome nearly glared at him, "Nearly the same height, are you kidding me? You are still almost a whole foot taller than me."

"Still odd," Minato stated.

"Don't worry, it's temporary. Even looking like this feels fake, like its simply a glamour."

They were interrupted by a shout of surprise as a body appeared out of nowhere. Kagome let out a gasp as tears filled her eyes as Inuyasha jumped to his feet already on guard. When he saw Kikyo he relaxed a little but Kikyo was still deep in her meditation.

Then he turned to see Kagome and his ears drooped on his head a bit, "Kags?"

Kagome choked on a sob as she practically sprinted to the dog-eared boy and smothered him in a tight hug. Inuyasha just as desperately returned the hug.

"I missed you so much." Kagome sobbed out as she clung tightly to the boy who would always be her best friend.

Inuyasha eyed the man he didn't recognize warily as he simply stayed quiet and let his best friend cry her heart out. The man held his hands up in the universal sign of meaning no harm. He kept his eyes on the man and held the girl crying into his shoulder tighter. For now, he would give the man the benefit of the doubt as Kagome had been standing next to him before ambushing himself. He would keep his guard up, however.

He noticed the moment that Miroku appeared in the field and he noticed the moment the monk realized just who was in his arms as his eyes went wide in shock, "Lady Kagome." Miroku breathed out in amazement as he caught sight of the girl he came to see as a little sister.

The moment Kagome heard Miroku she broke off from Inuyasha and launched herself at Miroku. She didn't even care if his wandering hand made its usual appearance. Miroku gently held his little sister and simply lent her the strength she clearly needed. He was rather confused as to what was going on, but he didn't particularly care. He got to see Kagome again. He could sense that this wasn't technically reality as the very air was completely drenched in magics.

It was Kagome who noticed Sango appear as she let go of Miroku to practically tackle the slayer with a tearfully shouted, "Sango!" Sango caught Kagome on pure reflex but it took her mind a moment to come to terms with what was happening. The moment she realized she was holding her soul sister in her arms she broke down sobbing alongside Kagome. They stood there holding each other up. She had thought she would never see the only real girl friend she had ever again.

Kikyo waited for a bit for Kagome to pull herself together a little before she pulled the last one into the dreamscape. This last one would be the most emotional for both sides.

Kagome had just let go of Sango and started wiping her tears off her cheeks when she sensed her little Shippo appear. She turned around and smiled at the small red-headed child, "Shippo, baby." She whispered out as she chocked back even more tears. She needed to be the strong one here.

Shippo's eyes immediately filled with tears as he took off towards Kagome in a full sprint, "MAMA!" Shippo wailed out as he launched himself into his mother's arms. He didn't remember his birth mom, she had died when he was just a baby. Kagome was the one that perfectly fits into the mother role in his life. He didn't care if she was human or a Miko, she was his mother. And he had thought he had lost his mother once again, but she was back.

Kagome shared a pain-filled look with Kikyo, who besides Minato was the only one of them to really understand that this reunion was very temporary. She would have to leave them once again after they found the totem that kept them locked within this dreamscape. She simply stood there holding her bawling child as everyone that was there crowded around her.

"What's going on Kags? Where have you been? How are you back? Who's the blond?" Inuyasha questioned her.

Now came the hard part, letting all of them know that she was no longer the Kagome that they all remember. Gods for them it has only been a few days, not even a full week. Would they even understand? Well, she wasn't one for lies and they deserved the truth. False hope would be infinitely crueler than simply telling them the truth.

Kagome took a deep breath as she adjusted Shippo into the crook of her arm, "We are all stuck in a dreamscape created by Midoriko with the specific purpose of having us remain here until our bodies die in the real world. Kikyo pulled the rest of you in to help." She took a couple of calming breaths as she shared a look with Minato, "I'm not back, not really. As much as it pains me I can't come back, not anymore."

"What?" Shippo shouted out tearfully.

Kagome planted a few kisses across his face trying her damnedness to plaster her love for him into him, "I'm sorry baby, I really am. As I explained to Kikyo earlier, Midoriko sent me into an entirely different world. What I didn't get a chance to explain to her was that the world should have killed me. There is a substance in the air there that is not compatible with our bodies called chakra. For me to be able to survive there a Sage that I luckily ran into had to change my… composition. To put it bluntly, he had to de-age me to be able to place proper chakra channels within my body."

"And now she's my adorable little sister." Minato teased.

Kagome playfully stuck her tongue out at him, "I've been in Minato's world for nearly two years already and I just turned nine again not too long ago." She took a deep breath and gave her feudal family a sad smile, "So, how about one last adventure together?"

"Keh, like I'd say no," Inuyasha grunted out, but Kagome could see the wetness in his eyes. He would never let the tears fall, but this made it official. He was going to lose his best friend after this.

"You don't even have to ask," Sango said determinedly.

"Honestly, Lady Kagome, after everything you've done for all of us it's the least we can do," Miroku said with a smile.

She felt Shippo hug her tighter, "I really don't want you to go, but I'll help too."

"Of course," Kikyo said with a nod. They all felt her flare her powers and a small blip flashed back, "I believe we should head in that direction."

They traveled for a few minutes with everyone asking Kagome all about her new life. She answered everything truthfully and willingly. It was really nice to be able to talk like this again with people who wouldn't judge once they learned the whole truth. The only one back home right now that she would have some luck with would be Guy, and one can't exactly expect Guy to keep his mouth shut about anything. That was really something that he was going to have to learn, and soon. Or he would be absolute pants at many missions and he would stop getting jobs.

Kagome should have noticed, honestly, she should have. She should have put it together the moment that Miroku settled in behind herself and Sango who had moved to walk right next to her a bit before. Both Sango and Kagome froze as they felt their rears being fondled. Anger filled both of their eyes and as one they swung around and each got a good slap on his face as they screamed, "Hentai!"

Miroku fell down with a masochistic chuckle as he rubbed his cheeks, "I think your slap has gotten stronger Lady Kagome."

Minato's eyes narrowed in anger as he grabbed the front of Miroku's clothes and pulled him in close, "You keep your hands off my sister, you hear me?" he threatened him.

Kagome rolled her eyes as she pulled her brother off of her friend, "Relax Minato-Nii, we are beyond used to it by now. Miroku won't change his ways ever."

Miroku grinned at them sagely not even remotely bothered by Minato, "It's not me my good friend, my hand is cursed I tell you. It simply can't help itself when I catch sight of a lovely woman posterior."

Kagome chuckled at the excuse he had never given up on, "Honestly, Minato, it's fine. It's just Miroku." Minato finally let go of Miroku with a withering look before he suddenly turned pale as he stared at Kagome. Kagome started to get a bit worried, this wasn't normal behavior for her brother. She approached him and put a hand on his arm, "Are you alright?" she asked softly.

Minato stared at Kagome like he had a sudden revelation before he whispered out in shock, "I'm going to have to chase so many boys away."

It was obviously still loud enough for everyone to hear, however, as laughter ran through the group. Kagome turned bright red, "You will do no such thing. I can handle myself thank you."

Minato practically ignored her, "It's bad enough with that Uchiha boy."

Kagome looked at Minato incredulously, "Stop that. Obito does not have a crush on me, Obito likes Rin. And even if he did have a crush on me, there is nothing wrong with him being an Uchiha."

"But then you'd be under the thumb of Fugaku and that's the last thing I want," Minato whined out.

Kagome snorted, "Well then, I guess it's a good thing Obito doesn't have a crush on me."

Inuyasha seemed to have gotten stuck on a certain thing she said, however, as he let out a short laugh, "You can take care of yourself? Really Kags? How many times did I have to rescue you from being kidnapped?"

Kagome flushed as she spun to glare at Inuyasha, "How many of those times were instigated by something that you did? And I got better during that last year."

Shippo knowing better jumped off of Kagome's shoulder and latched onto Minato's. Minato gave the kid a questioning glance, he was a lot lighter than he had expected. Shippo shrugged, "Mama can be scary when she's angry." He explained before turning his attention back onto the fight that was about to break out.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Didn't stop you from getting kidnapped though." He completely ignored his role in many of those abductions.

Minato watched in a type of fascination as Kagome and Inuyasha practically start screaming at each other. He had never seen his sister like this. She was usually the peacekeeper of whatever group she was with at the time. Sure, she had a wicked temper, but she was able to keep it under check most of the time. Usually, if she wanted to get her point across she would go calm and quiet and that was when you knew that she was at her most pissed. He had never seen her actually scream in anger at someone. She would yell at people, to scold them mostly or to get her point across, but never like this.

"Should… should we stop them?" he asked uncertainly after a few minutes.

Sango shook her head and gave him a look filled with humor, "No, let them get it out of their systems. They get like this all the time. Inuyasha just knows precisely which buttons to press to completely tick Kagome off. This will end as it always does." She ended with a twitch of her lips.

"How does it always end?" Minato asked as he glanced at the two who were right in each other's faces just screaming. How were these two such good friends if this happened so much like they were insinuating?

Shippo laughed gleefully, "Mama always wins, just watch."

Not even a minute later Kagome suddenly went quiet, in the type of rage that Minato was familiar with after Inuyasha said something particularly cruel. Shadows covered her eyes for a few seconds before she looked up at him with a bright smile, "Inuyasha~" Kagome called out in a very familiar tone.

Inuyasha's ears went flat to his head and he stopped yelling as well, "No, Kagome don't, I'm sorry."

Rage built up behind Kagome's eyes as she suddenly yelled out, "SIT BOY!"

Amusement filled Minato as the dog boy violently face planted into the ground. And he didn't use the word into lightly, there was an actual crater around him.

"Ugh, you're such a jerk!" Kagome yelled out before practically stomping away.

Without even batting an eyelash Miroku, Sango, and Kikyo started following after her. This was a regular occurrence for them so it didn't even phase them anymore. Shippo pointed after them, "We can go with them. When Inu-Baka recovers he'll catch up."

In the end, Minato simply shrugged and jogged a bit to catch up to his sister. Yeah, he had to say, he was not a fan of the dog boy. He liked to dig into his sister just a bit too much for his liking. A little while later Inuyasha did indeed catch back up to them and he stayed suspiciously quiet. The small smirk of victory on Kagome's face made him smile, however.

To his surprise, Shippo didn't jump back to Kagome and stayed on Minato's shoulder. He found that he didn't actually mind though. He would have thought the extra weight on his shoulder would throw him off, but after a while, he barely even registered that the kid was still there. He saw out of the corner of his eye as the fox kid leaned forward a bit to talk to him.

"Is Kagome happy in your world?" the kid asked quietly.

Minato glanced at him before turning his gaze onto his sister, "I like to think so. She's got a pretty tight group of friends that she adores. She mothers them so much and they don't mind, most of them appreciate it if I'm being honest. She's doing her best to better herself, in fact, she's going to be participating in the chunin exams in about a month or so. She's been preparing hard for them the past week."

"What are the chunin exams?" Sango asked curiously which made Minato realize that he had started talking loud enough for everyone else to hear during the last bit. Kagome gave him a look that said he was free to explain whatever he wanted to.

"In our world, one of the career paths is becoming a ninja. There are different levels within that both become harder and pay better. Genin is the most bottom level, usually just for kids who have graduated from the academy. The next step is chunin, there is a group exam with all of the other villages that choose to participate. It's usually a three-teared test that eliminates people from each round. The next step is Jonin, which is the most common highest level to achieve. The Kage from each village are the ones that promote people to jonin. There is also one more step, which is Anbu. Anbu are hand-picked by the Kage's of the villages. Anbu can be chunin or jonin, but they are usually people with exceptional skills or a unique talent that puts them above the rest." Minato explained at an almost school teacher level.

Inuyasha let out a quiet scoff, "And Kagome's already going into that chunin thing?"

Minato frowned sharply at him, "I don't know what you think about my sister, but she is more than capable of taking care of herself. She's been doing borderline jonin level missions since her very first mission."

Inuyasha didn't look like he believed it but he smartly kept silent.

Shippo turned his attention to his mom, "What are you like in the other world?"

Kagome shrugged, "Pretty much just like I am now, just smaller. I have a lot more skills under my belt now as I train extremely hard nearly every day. I need to, to be able to keep up with Jiraiya-sensei. I mean he's on a whole different level. I would show you some stuff, but I don't think I'm able to when I'm like this." Like she had planned it a glow surrounded her entirely before flashing away. In her place, she was her once again nine-year-old body. She smiled slightly as she felt her extra strength and power return to her. Who would have thought she would ever miss her smaller self?

Shippo's eyes went wide and he jumped from Minato's shoulder to the ground in front of Kagome. She was now only about half a foot taller than he was, "Woah~" he cooed in amazement. He carefully looked her over and was slightly surprised by his findings. During the half a year that Sesshomaru's group traveled with their own the Western Lord trained with him one on one as a favor to Kagome. He now noticed a bunch of things he wouldn't normally. The first thing he noticed was how differently she held herself, Kagome practically oozed confidence. She held herself up straight and shoulders back. She had very defined muscles that he hadn't had before. She was wearing a very nice looking battle kimono that offered easy movement. While she wasn't exactly his Kagome anymore, she was still his mom. Even if they were nearly the same age now. It was more of the soul that counts than the physical body.

Minato smiled widely at the return of his little sister, it had been a bit too odd to see her at her older age, "Yay, my sister is back." He teased lightly.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "I'm still me no matter what I look like you dork." She teased right back.

"As much as I hate to interrupt, I believe we should keep going," Kikyo said calmly as she pointed in the direction they were heading.

"You're right, sorry." Kagome blushed slightly.

"Well, how are you going to keep up now? You could barely keep up when your legs were longer." Inuyasha said with a frown. He didn't like this new Kagome, he wanted the old Kagome back. His best friend, not this kid.

"I'll be able to keep up just fine, if not easier now that I have access to my chakra again. Don't worry about me." She smirked slightly, "In fact, if we went all out I'd say it would be you having a hard time keeping up. Especially against Minato-Nii."

Minato snorted in amusement as he ruffled his sister's hair before starting to lead the way in the correct direction. Kagome let out a shout of annoyment as she chased after him in fake anger.

Shippo laughed happily as he took off after Kagome. Maybe they could have some fun before she would have to leave. He had already come to the decision that even if it was impossible for Kagome to come home to them, then he would find a way to get to her. Getting there was obviously possible, the evidence was Kagome herself living there. Maybe if he talked it over with Kanna, she would be able to help him.

They traveled in good humor for the next thirty minutes before two shouts of surprise/fear caught their attention. Kagome looked up quickly to see what caused the noise only for her eyes to go wide as she saw two very familiar people falling to their doom, "Kirara, catch them!" Kagome shouted out worriedly. Kirara didn't question Kagome for a second as she launched herself off of Sango's shoulder and transformed before taking off to intercept the two falling humans. A type of frustration filled Kagome after her worry went away, Kirara would catch them so no more need to worry. How in the hell did Shikaku and Inoichi get into this trap as well? She knew for damned sure that she didn't accidentally pull them in as she had done with Minato. So how were they here?
