(Chapter 1)

Inuyasha sat by the well relaxing. He couldn't help but think about Kagome's family. It had been awhile since they last visited them, things had just gotten so busy.. with the kids and everything.

He stood and jumped into the well like he had done a million times before. Coming out at Kagome's family shrine. He could see Mrs. H working in the garden. He swiftly walked over to her.

"Hey what ya doing?"

"Oh hello Inuyasha" she beamed, standing and dusting off her dirty clothes, she looked at the young man expectantly.

"Did you get the pots for me like I asked?

He gave her a puzzled look.

"Uh you didn't ask me to get any pots? I just got here."

She smiled

"Oh InuYasha your such a kidder! Did you do something different to your face? You look kinda... different?"

He gave her another puzzled look.

"My face?" he asked.

"Oh never mind must be my imagination. Oh! look at the time I better go get dinner started!"

She ran inside, leaving the gardening tools and a very confused hanyou in her wake.

"My face? She's the one that looks different... somewhat.. older?"

He shook his head and went inside. For some odd reason the house looked very different...

"Ok what the fuck is happening..."

Walking into the very remodeled kitchen his Mother-in-law was already hard at work on dinner.

"Uh what happened to the house? Why does it look so different?"

She turned around and looked at him concerned.

"What do you mean? We remodeled the house a couple years ago.. you helped. Are you feeling alright?"

He stood there trying to process what Mrs. H had just said. He remembered that the first time Kagome had traveled to his time it was the year 1996 here. Then it took a year to kill Naraku so 1997, plus the three years they were separated so 2000. And they just had their two year wedding anniversary... so the year here should be... 2002.

"What year is it?" he asked bluntly.

"It's 2014 silly! You know that."

"2014!"
