Kagome glanced up at the sky, sighing softly. Her gaze lowered as she looked toward Inuyasha, but then quickly looked away from him. She emitted another soft sigh and began to turn back in the direction of the well.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, but I need to go back. I feel horrible for leaving Kaya so suddenly like that." Kagome made a full turn back towards the well when suddenly Inuyasha's hand grasped her shoulders, and he turned her around.
"Oh no you don't! You've already spent wayyy to much time at home. That girl will be fine, she even told you to come back."
Kagome looked towards Inuyasha, shaking her head as she began to turn away once more. "No, she was just saying that to be nice, I could tell. I need to go back."
Inuyasha growled and grabbed her shoulder, turning her around once more. "No! You've been gone long enough! We need to find Naraku and we need to find more jewel shards! Now lets go!" Inuyasha suddenly grabbed Kagome and swung her over his shoulder, grabbing her legs with his free hand to make sure she didn't try to get away.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and began to kick, "Inuyasha, put me down now!"
Inuyasha ignored her question and began to jump through the forest, making his way back to their group.

Where was she? Kaya's head lifted slightly from her knees, her eyes peeking out from behind her hair as she studied the area before her. There was nothing here just.. forest, and the well. This was all to strange, so bizarre. She had to be dreaming, that was it. She was just dreaming. She huffed softly when she suddenly saw a blurr of red pass right in front of her. She blinked as she turned her head to the side, seeing Kagome being carried by that Inuyasha dog. She lifted her hand, waving it around as she yelled, "Kagome!"
Kagome huffed as she yelled, "Sit boy!" She jumped off Inuyasha just moments before he fell to the ground. She huffed once again as she brushed herself off.
Kaya smiled and ran towards Kagome, leaping over Inuyasha but accidentally hitting him with her foot. She didn't even notice. Her arms opened as she threw them around Kagome. "Oh Kagome! God, I'm so happy to see you!"
Kagome's eyes widened as Kaya hugged her, her arms wrapping around her delicately. Kagome swung her backpack off her shoulder and let it fall to the ground, her eyes remaining wide, "Kaya?? How did you get here?!"
Kaya shook her head, "Oh, I don't know! I threw a stick into the well and when I went to go get it some strange purple light lured me into it and now I'm here and I was attacked by some blue creature but another creature saved me and oh god, I'm just so happy to see you two!" She spoke quickly, her words slurred together but she didn't care. They were here!
Kagome shook her head, her hand patting Kaya's back gently. "There there, it's okay now." Kagome flashed her a reassuring smile, a genuine one.
Inuyasha looked at Kaya, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinized her. "Lured you? Hey Kagome, does Kaya have any jewel shards on her?"
Kagome blinked once more and looked over Kaya, shaking her head, "N-no, she doesn't."
Inuyasha blinked, "Then how the hell did she get here?!"
Kagome blinked once again, "I have no idea." She stared at Kaya in disbelief. How the heck?
Kaya looked completely dumbfounded as she stared at the pair, "Erm..am I missing something?"
--
"Why am I here?"Kaya sat with her legs criss-crossed on the ground, the slowly fading light of the dim fire reflecting off her pale features. Her gaze remained fixated on the fire, as if she was in a trace. Kagome had explained to her all about the Feudal Era, along with Inuyasha and also Miroku, Sango and Shippo when she met them. They all seemed very nice, well, except for Miroku. Immediately upon seeing her he asked if she would bear his children. That was weird. But this whole thing was just so strange. Kagome could travel into the past and so could she, but why? She had no affiliation with this Sacred Jewel so how could she pass through the well? Her eyes continued to focus in when a voice suddenly pulled her from her trance-like state, her head jerking upwards and her eyes blinking a few times. She shook her head before her head moved slightly to the side, staring at Inuyasha whom had just spoken to her. "Erm, I'm sorry, I space out. What did you say?" Her tone was a whisper.
Inuyasha rose to his feet, moving a few paces towards her. He knelt down, studying her features rather curiously. "I said you seem strangely familiar."
Kaya quirked a brow as she stared at Inuyasha. "Familiar? What do you mean?"
Inuyasha fell back onto his haunches, crossing his legs. He shrugged, "I'm not sure, you just do. Like your scent does, I don't know."
Kaya snorted softly, shaking her head as she looked back to the fire, "Whatever, doggy."
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and jumped up and said in a rather loud voice, "I'm not a dog! I'm a dog demon!"
Kaya's eyes widened as she grabbed onto Inuyasha's pant leg, jerking on it, causing him to fall to the ground. She got a rather sour expression on her face as she leaned in towards him, whispering in a rather hushed voice, "Will you shut up?! Everyone is asleep!"
Inuyasha snorted as he slowly sat up, crossing his arms, "Sorry."
Kaya shook her head and slowly stood up.
Inuyasha looked up at her, raising a brow, "And where do you think you're going?"
Kaya shrugged, slowly beginning to walk off into the distance before stopping, peering over her shoulder at Inuyasha, "Just for a walk. Why do you care?"
Inuyasha snorted, crossing his arms and looking away, "I don't, but there's plenty of demons out there that would just love to have you for a snack, and Kagome would kill me if I let you go out a-Hey, get back here!"
Kaya chuckled as she began to skip into the woods, disappearing into the darkness.
Inuyasha quickly jumped up and growled, yelling rather loudly, "Dammit Kaya! You stupid human!"
