Kagome's Strange Era

Ch. 1

"Kagome, where's the Ramen?" Inuyasha yelled while hunting through Kagome's oversized backpack.

"Isn't it in there?" she called back. I know it's in there somewhere, she thought to herself.

Inuyasha shuffled around again quickly and still couldn't find it.

"No, and I'm hungry. Get me some Ramen now, wench!"

"Well you could at least say please."

Inuyasha stuck out his bottom lip and said "Feh," but finally he said, "Fine, please get me some Ramen now, wench."

Kagome sighed, but decided that it was better than nothing, and said, "Okay, I'll just go back to my own era and-"

"Oh, no you don't! You'll just go take tests!"

"I will not! And anyway, it's the only way to get more Ramen. They haven't invented it here yet, remember?"

"Fine, then I'll just go with you to make sure you don't try anything."

Kagome agreed, and they went off together through the Bone Eater's Well.

"Hi, Mom, we ran out of Ramen, so we came back to get some." Kagome said as she and Inuyasha came inside.

"Oh hi, Kagome. I have a shelf full of Ramen in the pantry, for just such an emergency," the woman said as she dusted an old vase from some dynasty, she could never remember which one.

"Thanks, Mom!" Kagome yelled after her on the way to the pantry.

I fell so grimy, Kagome thought. How long has it been since I took a bath? I know, I'll take one here! Inuyasha won't mind a few extra minutes, will he? Of course not, she decided.

Mrs. Higurashi heard water running upstairs and sighed. All of that shard collecting outdoors without baths must have finally gotten to Kagome.

An hour later, Inuyasha was pacing the floor. What was taking her so long? It was just a simple bath. If she didn't get down here soon, he would-

But as he was thinking this, Kagome came running down the stairs.

"Sorry I took so long," she said. Inuyasha just muttered something that sounded a lot like "Yeah, I'm sure you are."

"We better get going," Kagome said. She gave her mom a hug. "Bye, Mom."

Inuyasha was already out at the well.

"Come on, we've been away for an hour already!" he said as the girl came running out the door.

With that, they jumped into the well together. After a moment, Kagome looked around and…realized that nothing had happened.

A/N- How do you like my first fic so far? I'll keep going if someone reviews, so do it. And if it sucks, feel free to flame me. I've already got the next couple of chapters planned, so hurry up.
