A/N: Hello everyone! This is my attempt at this sort of series so please be nice.

Summary: She had made the wish and was returning to the future when an unexpected variance occured in the course of fate. One that led to landing in an era, and quite possibly reality, where a certain yokai family was not broken.

Important: I OWN NOTHING, not Inuyasha and not any of the characters except the OC's. If any canon characters seem OOC in this fic, I'm trying to keep them in character as possible while working on the plot keys needed for this to work. Also, the farther you go in, the more you'll understand why some of them have had changes in attitude; even if small ones.

Now on with the show!

1.

She had made the wish on the Shikon no Tama. She had watched as it disappeared forever and magic form around her to return her to the future.

All of her comrades had gathered around, beaten and bloody, but watching her go with sorrow. All of them ready to accept that Kagome did not belong to them now. All except one.

And it had not been Inuyasha.

"Yōbo-san(1) don't leave me behind!" the young fox kit had cried out with tears in his eyes before pouncing into the swirls of magic with her.

Whether from some unknown desire or from fear of her dear adopted fox kit being harmed, she grabbed him just as the magic violently reacted and pulled them into a void. The last thing she recalled was hearing her friend's call out in alarm.

2.

When she awoke, she expected to be surrounded by the loud clutter of an urban city.

She did not expect to see herself at the bottom of the well, with clear skies instead of a shed roof hanging overhead.

3.

Her shock had been cut short when she heard the sound of her kit moaning.

Without thinking she immediately began checking on him for any signs of injure. Seeing nothing but a big goose egg on the back of his head, she sighed in relief. Checking for anything that could be used to help her hold Shippo to her while she climbed, she sighed when she saw there was nothing but vines.

4.

It took a few tries, since the vines seemed to have a mind of their own at times, but Kagome was able to climb up the well. Spilling out of it, she gently lifted Shippo to her chest and gazed around the well.

'The well was in a clearing during the feudal era.' she thought with dread, noticing how close the trees were to the well.

5.

She stared at the Goshinboku.

Or what she thought was the Goshinboku.

The tree was younger. There was no doubt. The scar left by Inuyasha's presence had disappeared and the tree was shorter.

'Given what I know about tree growth, if this is the same Goshinboku than Shippo and I landed somewhere close from one to two hundred years earlier than where we started, at least. That means we could still be in the Sengoku period at the least or the Kamakura period at the most.'

A thought filtered through her at that realization.

'Edo was not formed until the Kamakura period.'

6.

There was no village in sight when she reached the exact spot where the heart of Edo had been.
