A/N: I was going to wait until I got at least (the pathetic number) two but am feeling extra happy today for no reasons, so I decided to update. I do hope however, that my generosity will be paid off with more reviews.

Disclaimer: I do not own and will not own what's already someone else's.

Chapter 2 What's With the Light

We're back with Inuyasha's group

Shippou and Inuyasha are still emerged in the process of examining the beautiful pendant when a blinding pinkish light enveloped them and the rest of the little group. Everyone gasped in surprise and squinted to keep their eyes from getting way too much damage. Finally, the light died away revealing a completely different surrounding much to everyone's disbelief. Inuyasha and Kagome are the two who instantly recognized the place to be the Higurashi shrine. Now that the place has registered in their minds, all the two can bring themselves to do is to stare at each other while their jaws nearly dropped to the ground as if to say "what the heck has just happen". So while Kagome and Inuyasha are at their very well matched staring contest, the rest of the group are just as stunned though for complete different reasons than the duo and simply looked around at the unfamiliar territory that they had somehow arrived in. After what felt like an eternity but was really only less than a minute, the silence was gratefully broken by a motherly voice saying, "I did not expect you back so soon Kagome, and are those your friends from the Feudal era?"

Kagome finally managed to snap out of her wonder and replied, "Yes they are." And proceeded to introduce everyone along with a warning glare to Miroku that said "back off because my mom will not be on your list".

Just as Miroku signed sadly, an old man came bursting in front of everyone while yelling "Demons be gone" and throwing fake sutras on both Shippou and Kirara. Shippou who was scared out of his whims jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder and tried to hide himself in the dog's hair; Kirara on the other hand simply transformed into her more intimidating form and growled at the old man which earned her a "calm down" and a pat on the head from Sango.

Next it was Kagome who spoke which turned out to be a scold of "grandpa" and an apologetic glance to Shippou and Kirara. Kirara responded by transforming back and jumping into Sango's arms, while Shippou poked his head out and said, "Now I understand what Inuyasha meant when he said that your grandpa is crazy." With that said, Shippou just pouted.

When they were finally inside however, the group's curiosity got the better of them, so they started firing questions at Kagome none stop. Mrs. Higurashi saw the distress on Kagome's face and decided to take the explanations into her own hands, to which was met by a very grateful Kagome.

When the group's curiosity was finally satiated to some extend Souta came running home from wherever he had been with an extremely shaken up look on his face. He ran straight into Kagome's arms and cried out, "The worst possible thing has just happened!"

It took quite some effort from Kagome to finally calm down Souta and when that happened, the group was enlightened with the story.

Now we go back to a bit before the little group was enveloped by the brilliant light

Souta was playing in the school grounds (Why there? Because hopefully it will be somewhat less chaotic.) with his friends while everyone else had already went home. They were just playing tag out of pure boredom when suddenly out of nowhere came the same blinding light that had somehow managed to enveloped our little group of heroes. They don't know about that however, but than again, they also do not know the fact that it had chosen (well, not really) to happen at exactly the same time as it had happened to the little group, so it doesn't really matter. Anyways, out of the light appeared the all too familiar figure of…
