Hey everyone! Sorry about the delay, but I had to think about this chapter after my reviews. You all want something different. Jeez! Oh well, here's the next chapter. Remember to read and review!

Eva walked into the hut and found Jordan still asleep. The fire was going also. She sat just outside of the sparks from the flames. About twenty minutes passed before she fell asleep.

Some while later, Eva felt herself being shaken. Opening her eyes reluctantly, she saw Jordan hovering over her body.

"You okay, Molly?" Jordan asked with worry in his eyes.

"I guess. Why do you ask?" Eva asked rubbing her eyes to get rid of the sleep.

"You were moaning something that sounded like 'Mom! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to let you die! I'm sorry! I didn't want to lie to him!'" Jordan said, his brow knitting with concern.

Her eyes widened a tiny fraction, "It was nothing. Just a nightmare. I'm okay now. Trust me."

Jordan nodded and scrambled to his feet. Eva sat up and pushed herself from the floor and onto her feet. They didn't know what to do or where they were going to go for the moment. Just as they were about to seek out Inuyasha and Kagome, the miko knocked on the doorframe and entered with a towel.

"Hey there. You're up? Good. Do you want to go to the springs and bathe, Molly?" Kagome asked politely.

"Umm..." Eva didn't know what to say.

"It's just a hot spring and you can bathe alone, if you want to. I just needed a long bath too, so I thought you might want to come." Kagome fumbled for the right words quickly.

"I don't have anything for a bath." Eva said honestly, blushing as she glanced at Jordan.

"It's okay. I have all kinds of bathing things that you can use." Kagome brightened.

"I need a bath!" Jordan perked up. Eva punched him in the arm.

"Hello! She's a girl! You're a guy!" Eva yelled at him. His eyes widened as he just realized what she meant. He was about to protest, when Kagome said quickly with a smile on her face, "It's okay. Inuyasha is going to get you after we're done and you two will bathe." Turning back towards Eva, she asked, "So, it's our turn."

Before Eva could protest, Kagome hooked her fingers around her arm and dragged her out the door, with Jordan staring after her. Kagome had taken her out of the village and through the rice patties, until they came to a woods and a clearing with swirling clouds of steam that twirled endlessly across the top of the hot spring that they happened upon. Kagome placed the yellow pack, that had been on her back, on the ground along with a bow and a quiver full of arrows.

Behind Kagome, Eva saw a dark form dash across an opening. Kagome turned around to see what Eva had seen. All of the sudden, Inuyasha leapt from a limb above their head and landed gracefully on his feet.

A shriek was heard from Eva, as Kagome tried to calm her down, the miko gave the hanyou a few mean looks.

"What is he doing here?! Aren't we going to be bathing?!" Eva was freaking out.

"Yes, Molly, we are going to bathe, but we need a guard." Kagome comforted.

"Why?" Her red eyes gleamed with a curiosity after she calmed down a little from the scare.

"This is the feudal era of Japan. There are demons around that are just waiting for people like us to be all alone, so that they could feed on our flesh." Kagome said quickly.

Inuyasha flinched when Kagome mentioned flesh being eaten. Eva placed a hand on her racing heart as to slow it down with the touch. "Is he going to watch us while we bathe?"

"No. He's just here to scan for anything out of the ordinary. Trust me. He won't watch us. Inuyasha has guarded me while I bathed many times before." Kagome reassured Eva. "Now turn around or else I'm going to start calling you 'Miroku'."

The silver haired hanyou turned around, scowling at the comment. The girls began to undress. Eva undress quickly, while hiding behind her towel that the miko had given her. She stepped into the hot water with the towel wrapped tightly around her and as soon as her towel was about to touch the water, she flung the towel off her body and sat down in the searing water, covering herself up with her thin arms. Eva heard Inuyasha's snickers as she had practically fallen in the water. Her cheeks flushed as she tried to calm down and just wash her body and get out quickly.

Next to her, Kagome calmly slid into the water and sat beside her. She covered herself a little, but not as much as Eva did. As they bathe, they were so quiet that they could hear mice scampering around in the forest along with the slight splashing from their movements.

"So, Molly. Where is Oban?" Kagome asked with her back to the black and red haired girl.

"Um...it's on the outer edge of the Milky Way." Eva replied in a whisper.

"Oh. What's it like?" Kagome asked.

"Excuse me?" Eva questioned.

"Oh...I mean being on a different planet." Kagome said with a far off look in her eyes.

"It's peaceful on Oban, but that's the only other planet I've been to, other than the prelimenary planet Alwas. The other planets that we have learned about in school, aren't so peaceful or nice." Eva said, casting her red eyes to the shoreline.

"I see. What are you doing on Oban? I forgot what you said as to why you there." Kagome said in a nice tone.

"I was on Alwas as a mechanic, but then our pilot had an accident and he wasn't able to continue on with racing. So...I took his place." Eva explained.

"You must be really good."

"Not like my mother was." Eva muttered to herself.

"What did you say?" Kagome turned towards her, arms covering her body.

"Nothing."

"Funny, I must be hearing things then, because it sounded something like,'not like my mother was.'" Kagome recalled.

Inuyasha straightened agianst the rock that he had been resting against. His back facing them, he stared at the trunk of a tree in front of his amber eyes and wondered how Eva was going to respond to what Kagome had said.

"Okay, you caught me. My mom was a star racer pilot a long time ago." Eva said with a fake smile on her face.

"Is she still a pilot?"

Casting her eyes towards where Inuyasha sat, she hoped that he hadn't revealed anything, "No, she...um...retired about ten years ago."

"How good was she?" the miko asked with curiosity burning in her eyes.

"The best." A sad smile crossed her expression.

An akward silence passed between the two.

"I think I'm finished." Eva said quietly.

"Me too." Kagome stepped out of the pool first, as Eva looked in the opposite direction.

Eva swam up to the edge and grabbed her towel up around her torso and thighs. She dressed as fast as she could and handed the towel back to Kagome. She shoved it into her pack and hitched it onto her back.

"Inuyasha, we're finished dressing. Let's go." Kagome called.

He sprang to his feet and said, "I'm coming."

A/N: And this is the end of chapter two. I hope you liked it. Please review and tell me any idea of what you might have to add to the story.
