------------------------------------------

Just then Makiko opened her eyes and said, "Where am I?" She looked around and she seemed to be in a forest with Kagome and . . . 'that jerk!' she thought as she saw Inuyasha as he was standing up. She turned to Kagome and asked, "Kagome are you ok? Where are we? How did we get here? Who the hell is he?" at the last question she pointed to Inuyasha.

Kagome Calmly answered all her questions and in order "I'm fine, this is feudal Japan, we got here through the well, and that over there is Inuyasha, don't worry he's ok." she whispered the last part.

Makiko laughed thinking that it was a joke then she looked at Inuyasha suspiciously and asked "Are you sure he's ok? He seems a little weird, ok more than a little weird."

Inuyasha was getting mad because even though they were whispering he could still hear them. Then his ears began to twitch. Makiko jump back and stuttered as she spoke "T-those t-things ar-are r-real?"

Kagome was starting to get worried that Makiko would totally freak if she knew every thing that she had just told her was real. 'What am I going to do? Oh I know, I'll tell her it's all a dream.' As Kagome looked back down to where Makiko had been lying she found that she wasn't there any more she was walking towards Inuyasha. Makiko stared at him for a minute then as if on impulse she reached up and rubbed his ears. Then she sighed "Glad that's out of my system." Kagome tried hard not to laugh, which wasn't working, and Inuyasha was burning mad.

Kagome looked to Inuyasha and said, "Calm down n-now it's n-not t-that b-bad." But Kagome just couldn't stand it and she dropped to the ground laughing. Inuyasha walked off toward the village leaving the two behind.

"Soooooo, this isn't a joke is it?" Makiko asked looking out into the forest.

Kagome shook her head and walked toward Makiko. "Hey before you go back why don't you meet my friends first?" Kagome asked with a smile. Then she grabbed for Makiko's hand and walked her off in the direction Inuyasha had gone.

When they arrived at the village they were greeted by a jumping ball of fur as it hopped into Kagome's arms. "What is that?" Makiko asked looking at the thing in Kagome's arms. As she got a good look she squealed at the sight of the cutest thing she had ever seen, it was of course Shippo.

Shippo looked up from Kagome's arms and stared at the strange girl. "Kagome who is this?" he asked in bright eyed wonder. Kagome introduced them and then motioned Makiko toward the hut. Inside was Inuyasha who was lying on his side propped up on one elbow and pouting. Next to him were two others, a man and a woman, who rushed to greet Kagome as well.

Miroku and Sango stopped to turn two the new face. Just then Kagome and Makiko noticed a rather red hand print on Miroku's face. Kagome sighed and said, "This is my friend Makiko, she's from my time and she sort of fell through the well with me and Inuyasha." She grinned at them and turned to Makiko. "Makiko this is Sango and Miroku, it would be best to just ignore him," she whispered the last part to Makiko, but Inuyasha heard it and took it personally.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Inuyasha yelled assuming the comment was about him.

"Oh Inuyasha calm down, I wasn't talking about you!" see replied and Inuyasha blushed slightly at his mistake and sat back down.

"Hello it's nice to meet you," she said in English just out of curiosity to see if anyone would understand, they didn't. Everyone gave a blank look at Makiko wondering what she could have said to them. Then smiling to herself she repeated herself in Japanese. 'I have a little secret language,' she thought.

"Hi it's nice to meet you Ma--" Sango was cut off suddenly, though she should have expected what came next.

Miroku had stepped in front of her and clasped Makiko's hands in his own. "Excuse me, would you consider bearing my child?" he asked with a slight smile knowing what was coming and just as Sango was about to slap him once more he was suddenly flipped through the air by none other than Makiko. (A/N: Makiko has been studying karate for the past 10 years.)

Everyone stared at Makiko gaping. She shrugged off the stares and asked, "What?" All except for Miroku seemed to smile then, thinking he'd gotten what he deserved. Soon they were all good friends and she even, sort of, got use to Miroku. Then the sun began to go down and it was time for Makiko to leave.

"Do you have to go?" Shippo whined as she stood to leave with Kagome. Makiko bent down to give Shippo a hug and then walked out the door to wait for Kagome. "Kagome . . ." Shippo looked at her with big teary eyes, he had grown attached to Makiko in her short time there, "Please don't make her go."

Kagome sighed "Shippo she can't--" but she was cut off by Shippo's crying and she sighed again. "I'll ask her, ok?"

Shippo immediately cheered up and started to smile. Inuyasha opened his mouth to protest but thought better of it when Kagome gave him a glare that told him she wasn't going to let him get off easy if he started something. Then she walked outside to join Makiko.

Makiko was looking up at the sky and spoke without looking away "You don't see stars like this back home."

Kagome smiled "No, you don't." She walked around in front of Makiko and asked "What do you think of traveling with us, but first you should know that it's really dangerous."

Makiko looked down from the stars to Kagome. "Really? I can stay?" she asked in amazement and Kagome nodded. "I would love to come, but I still have to go back right now and get my stuff."

Kagome went back over to the door way of the hut and yelled into it, "We'll be back in a couple of days." Then she grabbed Makiko and ran off before Inuyasha could object and headed toward the well. As they reached the well they jumped into it and were engulphed by the bright blue light.
