"Kenshin, Yahiko, Sano! Megumi and I are over here!"

"Ah. So that's where you were, Kaoru."

"Finally! Some water!"

"Does anybody have a bucket and some rope?"

"I do!"

"Thanks Yahiko."

The five had been traveling for quite some time now. Their throats were parched due to the lack of water clean enough to drink. Kaoru lowered the bucket into the well. But all they heard was a thunk?

"…"

"It's empty…"

Silence. All five leaned over into the well, looking for even the slightest glimmer of water. Suddenly a wind came down from the heavens and something started to suck them into the well.

"AHHH!!!"

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?"

"I DON'T KNOW JUST STAY TOGETHER."

Bright lights passed them and they fell out of the well? Kaoru sat up and rubbed her head, "What happened?"

"I have no idea."

A snap sounded to their right and they heard bickering voices coming near them.

"I'm telling you! It's the wrong herb!"

"But it looks just like you told it would!"

"No it doesn't! It looks completely the opposite of what I said it would!"

Two figures appeared. One was a stately woman in the garbs of a miko with long black silky hair, along with a long bow and a quiver of arrows. The other was dressed in blood red billowing clothes, he had a black claw necklace around his neck, and sliver ears and hair with a rusty Kanata at his side. Both stopped.

"…"

"Um…excuse me, but…" Kenshin began, "Just where are we?"

"…and I thought the well would never be used again."

"Oro!?"

Small footsteps came running towards them, "Kagome, Inuyasha! I'm back from the exams!"

"Shippo! Duck!"

The slivered-haired figure leaped in the air, with everyone's eyes following him. He drew out his sword which went from being a regular Kanata to a sword wider then Sano's head. He slashed at a on coming figure.

A boy, much younger then Yahiko, and with a tail, turned around, "FOX FIRE!" bundles of blue flames came out creating a shield for the protection of the five travelers. The miko charged towards them and leapt over the flames, "Inuyasha!"

"Right!"

She drew a arrow across her bow string and released just as the man brought done his sword, "WIND SCAR!"

The figure collapsed. The blue fire diminished with the five travelers staring with their mouths wide open.

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves." the miko said breaking the silence, "I'm Kagome, a priestess. This is my husband, Inuyasha, a hanyou."

"I'm Shippo! A fox demon!" the short cute little guy said, "How do you do?"

"…"

"Hey…um…can you tell us what exactly is going on here?"

Kagome smiled, "Of course. But first let's get some food."

Inuyasha glared at the group, "Just as long as they don't try anything…"

The group of five slowly got up and followed the odd trio.

"Now, will you young ones, tell me your names?" Lady Kaede asked.

"Yes. My name is Kamiya Kaoru."

"Himura Kenshin, that I am."

"Sagara Sanosuke."

"Takani Megumi."

"Myōjin Yahiko."

Lady Kaede smiled, "Kagome told me that you came through the well."

"Yes, I suppose you could say that…" Kaoru answered.

"Did you say someone came through the well?" a voice from beyond the door asked. He entered. All five could tell he was a monk with his purple robes and slender staff. A women in a flowered kimono and a small kitten-like creature on her shoulder entered. A large boomer-rang was on her back, "Really? I thought it was closed!"

Inuyasha and Kagome came into the hut. Kagome sighed, "Apparently not." she looked around, "Where's Rin and Kohaku?"

"Taking care of the children. Miroku and I are ready to go. What about Shippo, Inuyasha, and you, Kagome?"

"We're ready. But I think Shippo should stay here. He just came back after all."

"No way! We're finally gonna have a trip just like old times so don't think you can just blow me off! Even Myoga is coming!"

Kaede smiled. Kagome shrugged, "If you want too."

"I don't." Inuyasha grunted. Kagome smiled sweetly, "Inuyasha…"

Inuyasha flicked his head over to her and edged away, "Don't! Please don't!"

"Sit boy."

Inuyasha slammed to the ground. Yahiko and the others stared, "How'd ya do that?"

"That's my little secret!" Kagome winked.

"Damn you." Inuyasha mutter and slowly got up.

"Hm? What did you say? I couldn't hear you."

"Nothin."

Kagome looked the five and then sighed, "Well I suppose we might as well these five along. I have a feeling they won't get back where they came from through the well." Kagome thought for awhile before asking, "By the way, this is the Sengoku Period, what period did you come from?"

"…your kidding right?" Sano asked.

"No…don't worry if anyone understands you, it's me. Now what period or era did you come from?"

Kaoru blinked her eyes before answering, "The Meiji Period…"

Megumi looked questionably at Kagome, "Judging by the way your acting, what period did you come from?"

"…the Heisei Period."

"Oro!?"

"Let's just say, I used to be hundred-fifty years ahead of you. I don't really feel like explaining the rest to you…"

"We see. So to get home, we have to follow you to wherever your going…"

"Pretty much."
