"Oh shoot!" exclaimed Kagome

"I was sapposed to be home a half hour ago!" she said as she gathered all her stuff.

"And just where do you thing your going, onna!" Inu-Yasha snorted through gritted teeth

"We have to finish searching for the shards of th--" said Inu-Yasha as he was cut off by Shiipo

"The shards of the sacred Shikon Jewel... I know, I know.... that's what always comes out of your mouth!" the little fox boy said as he was on the shoulder of Kagome

"Why you little pest!"

"Why don't you do something about it dog boy!"

"I wouldn't talk you little flee bag!"

Kagome, Miroku, and Sango just stared at the two dog type demons argue.

"Listen, Miroku, Sango... I have to go back home for... some important meeting..." said Kagome sortta disappointed

"What kind of important meeting?" asked Miroku with a certain tone

"Just a meeting, that's all... well I have to get going... I am late as it is." Kagome said as she rode off on her bike to the well leading back to her home

"I think it's a boy." Said Sango as she watched Kagome ride off into the distance

"What do you mean a BOY!?" exclaimed Inu-Yasha

"Oh, your back...so how did the little fight go?" mocked Miroku

"I kicked his butt." Popped up a little Shiipo

"What a lie!"

"You lie like a dog, Inu-Yasha!"

"Oh... your gonna be dog dinner in a minute!"

"Here we go again." Said Sango

II**In Tokyo at the Masaki's Residents** II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kon'nichiwa, Minna-Chan." Said a young and chipper Sasami

"Hey, what's up kiddo, where is Tenchi?" asked Ryoko

"Um... I think he's at the shrine with Jii-chan... he asked me not to let anyone up there though."

"...Wonder why........tehehe..... this I gotta see." Ryoko said in a sly voice

"Do you know where Ayeka is?" asked a cute little Sasami

"No! Why would I care....." Ryoko started... but decided not to finish. Hey, Ryoko WAS a demon, but she had to admit, Sasami is quite kawaii... for a Jurain

"Um... Sasami, I think that she is in the onsen, but I can't recall that clearly."

"Oh, thank you Ryoko-Chan and Rio-Ohkie is with her I presume?"

"I think...um... no she is with Washuu."

"Oh! Well see ya later Ryoko-Chan... and don't go up to the shrine, Tenchi, and Jii-Chan both told me to say that." Said Sasami as she happily walked off to do her daily doings.

"Um....yeah okay." Said Ryoko with a little evil chuckle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

II**The Masaki Shrine**II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where is she?" Tenchi asked as he grew impatient and tapped his fingers along the tea table

"Why so impatient, Tenchi?" asked Grandfather Masaki

"It's just that I haven't seen her since mom... died..."

"Well, she is your distant cousin... Tenchi... and you are still young..... and Kagome has grown up to be quit a women"

"What are you implying?"

At this time Ryoko had phased through the wall behind Tenchi, and hid herself behind the shutters. She had heard Tenchi and Grandfather Masaki talk but could not make out the exact words so far. So she continued to listen in on their conversation.

She would see what was going on... and what was such a big deal, why she couldn't come up to the shrine.

"Oh, nothing Tenchi... nothing at all."

"Grandpa...I am worried... she is almost 2 hours behind... where is she?" asked a frantic and yet, still bored Tenchi

"Tenchi, while we are on the subject of Kagome, you know that cousins are often married to keep the family together." "I mean... on Jurai we were to marry within family, unless of a sudden exception."

"GRANDPA.... I thought I told you... I will find someone when I am ready..." "Besides... I don't think that someone as pretty as Kagome would want to marry me...but...then again...." Tenchi said in a mocking tone to tease his Grandfathers intended thoughts.

'Who is Kagome... and what is Tenchi talking about?!!' thought a panicked Ryoko

'I guess I will just have to find out'

A few minuets passed and suddenly a young girl with mid-back length black hair and grayish blackish eyes stepped through the door. She was obviously tired from walking up all those stairs.

"Ah... Kagome-san!" called Tenchi as he got up to hug her

"You must be Kagome... my, my, my you sure have grown since last time." Said Grandfather Misaki

"And you must be Tenchi and Grandfather Misaki; it is so wonderful to see you guys again!"

"Oh, and my grandfather couldn't make it, he said he was sorry, but he had two weddings he had to attend to and his old back wouldn't have made it through that bumpy train and bus ride." "But he did give me this note for you to read." Said Kagome as she handed the note to Grandfather Misaki

"You must be tired Kagome-san, um... I know it's a long walk back down to the house... but I will carry your bags." Said Tenchi as he grabbed her bags.

"Thank you SO much... and by the way... just call me Kagome or Kagome-Chan."

"Sure thing, but only if you call me Tenchi-Chan."

The two walked back down the steps.

'NO!... why would he choose another woman over me?' 'I know I am not perfect, but...........it just can't be.' 'Please... Heaven don't let it be...please....' shouted Ryoko in her mind. Of course she wasn't going to let this new woman get in the way of her emotions for Tenchi... she truly did love Tenchi with all her heart, there is no way in Hell is she going to let this woman get in her way. Ryoko had phased out of the shrine and silently crept behind Tenchi and Kagome.

"I know you'll like Sasami, and Mihoshi and Kyione are nice people too, of course there is Washuu she can be a little... well... different at times but she is nice, and then after those four are um....well there is Ayeka, she is very polite and she can be a little pushy at times... but she is nice too."

"Wow, how do you live with all these women?" asked Kagome with shock

"Um...hehe.....well I think they were Heaven sent...in a way...."said Tenchi with the memory of his Heavenly visit of stars with the battle of Ayeka and Ryoko.

By this time Ryoko had taken off. 'How... how could he?' 'He didn't even mention me or my name... like I don't even exist!?'

Ryoko had flown off to be somewhere by herself.

With the thought of the fight between Ayeka and Ryoko, he was reminded of Ryoko.

"Oh, Kagome, I also forgot one of my other close friends, her name is Ryoko, she's not normal, but she too can be nice, when she wants to be.....but I like her...a lot...and she is someone you can get used to and get to know..." trailed off Tenchi as they continued to walk to the house

II**Back In Ancient Japan**II

"Why would she go out with a boy?" growled Inu-Yasha

"Human boys are weak, and they usually tend to be ugly."

"And they are soooo boring."

"It may seem that way to you, but remember Kagome is a human too." Said Miroku

Inu-Yasha who had been sitting in a tree, had jumped down and ran to Miroku's face and said, "That don't mean one damn thing!"

"But I thought that you didn't like Kagome... since when did all this change this?" asked Sango

Inu-Yasha had gotten a little flustered and started growling. "NOW WHEN THE HELL DID YOU COMPREHEND THAT!?" he yelled "The ONLY reason I worry about her and don't want her going off with some human jack-ass is because if she gets distracted then she won't pay any attention to the mission of gathering the Shikon Jewel Shard!!" Inu-Yasha said as he walked off.

"And where the heck is he going?" asked Shiipo

"It looks like he's heading towards the Bone Eaters Well... is he going to... no wait... I don't think he's aloud to because Kagome's grandfather sealed the well with anti-demon ofuda's after that one incident." Miroku said as he looked at Inu-Yasha until he disappeared over the hill.

"What incident?" asked Sango

"Oh, yeah that's right; you weren't there at the time." Miroku said

Miroku, Sango, and Shiipo prepared a small campfire and made a little camp site, after that Miroku told Sango the story about Inu-Yasha going back into time, while Shiipo went to go check up on Inu-Yasha

"Well you see, what happened was Kagome had gone back to her time to get some provisions and she had taken almost all day to arrive back in this time, so as impatient as Inu-Yasha was... he decided to jump through the well and see what was taking her so long." "When Inu-Yasha got there he looked for her everywhere, and of course he being from this time period of Ancient Japan...to them... the people of the future Japan... not to mention... his *cough* dog ears and *cough* fangs, you see where I am going." "Well he had caused some trouble, as Kagome described it, a few 'car' accidents, and the destruction of a few 'mini markets' and some injuries to people and of course property damage." "It turned out that Kagome had just gone to a friend's house to get some school work from her missed classes." "After the whole incident Kagome's grandfather sealed the well so no demon from this time could come through." Miroku finished with his normal tone of casualness.

Shiipo had run back, and he was on all fours. Miroku and Sango looked towards him. "Miroku, Sango, he made it through the other side! Inu-Yasha made it to the other side!"

"Well, you mean that Inu-Yasha made it to where Kagome is?" "But how, Kagome told me that her grandfather sealed the well from evil demons."

"That's what I thought... but... who knows... we'll just wait in the area until they return." Sango said

"Better yet, Lady Kiade's village is no to far from here, tomorrow let us go and stay there, it's not to far from the well also." Said Shiipo

"Fine, but for now let us get some rest." Said a sleepy Sango

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

II**Tokyo, Japan, Misaki Shrine**II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grandfather Misaki had opened the letter and started reading it, "Ah, hello old man, it had been a while since we last talked to each other." "But I am sure you're the same, old ecchi baka you always were since your wife died and your daughter died, hehe, well I hope you forgive me for not coming...hehehe, I have two weddings to lead, and... I've seen some of the brides maids and maids of honor.....and sure are the 'one's' that have the 'shapes'!" "Well Katsuhito, I do hope that Kagome enjoys herself, I really had her come to stay with you because of some demon trouble, the one I told you about in the last letter I sent you." "I hope that Tenchi is doing well and that those two become.... close..hahaha..." "Well this old man has got to go now, but next time you get the chance to write, I'll tell you about the ladies...haha sayonara!"

"Old man still hasn't changed." "I really wonder who this demon is that they've been having troubles with is." Said Grandfather Misaki as he closed the letter up and placed it on the table. "It's a good thing that he's never met Ryoko... she's a demon all right, but....." Grandfather Misaki was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Yes, who is it?"

"It's me, Washuu, Lord Katsuhito, I had just picked up a high energy signal from around the Tokyo area, and it is... a different kind of energy, and it appears to be heading this way."

"Hmmmm... I am not sure, but what ever or who ever it is, I am sure we can manage, I mean, Ryoko is a demon after all and with the Galaxy Police, and members of the Royal Jurain Family, not to mention the Greatest Scientific and Mathematical Genius in the entire Universe on our side, I highly doubt any trouble."

"Yes I suppose your right, well I must be going now, after all this Kawaii Chibi Scientist does have work to take care of." "Good day Lord Katsuhito."

"To you too Miss Washuu."

"Oh, and Lord Katsuhito, who was the girl with Tenchi?" "The girls won't like this."

"Well, that is my distant niece, Kagome." "She will be staying for a few months, I do hope that the girls will accept her."

"Don't worry tooo much, your only problems are Ryoko and Ayeka, and we can manage with those two if we have to."

"I hope your right."

"Well, see you later Lord Katsuhito." and with that Washuu disappeared

~~~~~~~~~~~

II**In Tokyo**II

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stupid ofuda's... Kagome's old gramps is worthless when it comes to casting spell and using ofuda's." said Inu-Yasha as he pulled off the ofuda's that stuck to his kimono(I forget what the specific name for it is.... I know....right now my head is blah....) and then he walked out of the shack that the well was housed in. He then started to sniff the ground and then the air. "Got it, her scent is very strong, and that crappy perfume she wears is VERY strong... what was the name of it again..... Fragrance La France...or some crap like that..... what ever who cares." "Better get a move on it unless I want to loose her forever......just like...Kik.....lets go." and with that Inu-Yasha left, clearly sadness struck his heart at the thought of loosing Kagome to some human man, and yet again loosing someone he loved. He had to travel discretely because he clearly remembered his last trip to the 21st century, and the reactions of the humans. So he decided to travel amongst the heights of the buildings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

II**5 Minuets Later**II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"AHHH! HELP, YOU BASTARD!" "GET OFF ME!" SOME ONE PLEASE HELP, HELP MEEEEE! came a scream from a long ended alleyway the noises from the entrance to the alleyway were drowning out the screams and plee's for help that came from the back.

"Shut-up onna, and I'll go delicately." said a husky male voice

"Let her go... and I promise ' I MIGHT ' go delicately on you." came the voice of an angry demon

The man quickly turned around but still had a vice grip on the woman "Oh.... and who the hell are you supposed to be, some freak from the 18th century?" the husky voice replied

"Well, you could say that... yeah, but enough of this, your on your last chance to get going..." Inu-Yasha replied getting quite ticked off at this humans stupidity

"I don't think so!" and with that the man pulled out a gun and shot at Inu-Yasha hitting him once in the arm, the chest, and grazing the cheek, Inu-Yasha fell to the ground, not because of the shot, but because he never knew that such weapons existed, so of course he was unprepared. The woman screamed not just because of her life was on the line, but someone who actually cared enough to save her was struck down in her clear site.

"NOOO!" "YOU KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN!!" she again screamed

"Oh NO he DIDN'T!" "You little scum bag... your dead AS HELL NOW!" and as soon as Inu-Yasha got up, he took out his sword and sliced at the guy's face, just slicing his cheek a little, he then sheathed his sword and said, "You know, the only reason I won't kill you is because I promised someone I would never kill a human no matter how much of an ass he or she was, and cause I don't want to scare the woman." Inu-Yasha moved with such speed that the man didn't even see Inu-Yasha move, all he felt was a hard blow to the gut. "How did you do that you little jerk?" all the guy did was drop to the ground and pass out.

"Thank you SOO MUCH!" said the girl as she ran to hug her savior

"No prob, but next time, why don't you get a sword or a metal shooting device or learn martial arts or something." said Inu-Yasha as he patted the woman on her back with a classic anime face (eyes bugged out and in a cemi-circle look with a sweat drop).

"Oh my... I forgot, you were shot, are....are you okay?"

"Of course I am, I am a demon........I mean.....I am....." It was to late, the woman had heard what Inu-Yasha said and sortta backed away, not sure to believe him, but how else could he have survived the shots and move so fast and deal such a critical blow?

"Go ahead and scream, hit me, do what ever, just hurry because I have things to do." said Inu-Yasha as he looked toward the sky

waiting to hear a scream, but was only greeted with a hand... in his hand.

"Come with me, and I will help you... in return for your help." the girl said in a kind voice

"But, I can't... I have to find someone." Inu-Yasha protested

"Don't worry it won't take long, i just want to take a look at your wounds and make you something to eat." she insisted

"Fine, I am sortta hungry....well I haven't eaten in a day or two....and that stupid metal shooting device thingy does annoy me with the stinging, fine I guess I can for awhile." Inu-Yasha finally accepted as he looked down a bit to see her smiling brightly.

"Now let's get to know each other, what is your name?" she asked

"......Inu-Yasha... not Inu, Inuga (Japanese for puppy), and not Yashy, JUST Inu-Yasha!" said Inu-Yasha in a sortta angry tone. He knows that's what Sango and Shiipo and Miroku and Kagome call him just to tease him by, and he wanted to make it clear to this girl not to annoy him, maybe he would get the respect a deamon deserves.

"Okay, Inu-Yasha, my name is............."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

II**Tokyo, Japan Masaki Household**II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome, my name is Kagome, and it is nice to meet you all, I hope to become friends with you, I heard alot of nice things about you from Tenchi-Chan, and by seeing your faces, I know that they are all true." said Kagome, as she bowed respectfully.

"You look like a nice person, you and I will be good friends and we will have a good time while you are here." said a happy Sasami

"Mihoshi, don't be shy... stop it will you..... come on.....!" Kyione said to Mihoshi, Mihoshi was hiding behind her back due to shyness. "But....um Kyione, can you stay with me so I can introduce myself in person?"

Kagome had sortta blushed, everyone in the room was crowded around her and wanted to meet her, except for the purple haired one, who seemed to be shooting death glares at her

"Hi, I am Kyione, and this is my......partner and friend, Mihoshi."

"Hello....nice to meet you....I am....Mihoshi...hehe I don't know what Tenchi said about me....I hope they are good things, and not bad things, like when I fell asleep on the coffee table and got drool all over the T.V. Guide magazines, or the time when I sneezed at the table and caused my bowl of Miso Soup to spill on his only clean school uniform, or the time when I accidentally poured orange juice in his bowel of cereal....or when......"

"ENOUGH ALREADY!!" shouted Kyione cutting off Mihoshi's stupid ranting

"Ehehe.....I am sorry, Mihoshi is a really good person....but she is a pure idiot."

"Hehehe....yeeeeup that's me."

Kagome just looked at the two with confusion, but then smiled and said it was okay, cause she too had to travel with an idiot... and a pervert.. and well... a nice girl and little 'boy' and said that she could sympathize for Kyione for the most part.

"It was nice meeting all of you, and you too um....Miss.... Ayeka." "Maybe you and I could talk later about ourselves and get to know each other better."

"Yeah, sure okay...... it was nice meeting you too, MIss Kagome." Ayeka had got up and they both respectfully bowed.

"Well I am tired, and I really need to sleep, so do you know a place where I can stay?"

"Yeah, I had just prepared a place for you." came Sasami's cute little voice "Just follow me, and all your baggage and bags are already there."

"Oooo......thanks........" Kagome was really tired

"You will be sleeping next to Tenchi." Said Sasami in a casual voice as she kept walking up stairs

The room froze and everyone turned to stone. Kagome had turned around in fright to see Ayeka and a clueless Ryoko (she just fazed in when she saw everyone standing there weired) standing behind her, Mihoshi and Kyione standing next to each other and standing next to the kitchen door way, where a casual voice came through and broke the eerie silence.

"Hello every one, how are you guys getting along?" Tenchi said

The room slowly returned back to normal as Sasami came back down and sortta sounded upset and confused, "Kagome, why aren't you coming?" "I thought that you were behind me." "Well anyway... as I was saying, you'll be sleeping next to Tenchi's room, and that's across from Ryoko's room, and then and then my sister and My room is next to hers so that means that your room is across from ours, oh and Kyione and Mihoshi's room is on your other side."

Everyone let out a deep sigh of relief....and everything turned back to....um...well normal....or as normal will ever get around here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well that's it for this chap... if you think you know who the 'girl' is... then email me or better yet Review and while your there tell me what you think of this story so far.
