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

When they returned to the present they found Ms. Higurashi. She looked a bit worried, but brightened up when she saw Makiko return with Kagome. "Makiko, dear where have you been?" Ms. Higurashi asked.

"I sort of fell down the well and as soon as I get my stuff from my apartment I'm going back with Kagome." Ms. Higurashi smiled; she had been startled when she couldn't find Makiko anywhere.

Kagome handed her backpack to her mom and followed Makiko to her apartment across town. Makiko's things hadn't arrived from the airport yet so Kagome planed to stay the night there.

Makiko put her bag down and took out her notebook and began the day's events, not that anyone would ever believe what she had written anyway. Then Kagome yawned and Makiko pointed to a spare bedroom where Kagome would sleep.

The next day Makiko's things arrived and she packed up some new cloths from her black suitcase and the essentials from her red one. 'I think that's everything,' Makiko thought to herself as she walked into the next room where Kagome was waiting.

Kagome decided to go back later so she could show Makiko around. Ms. Higurashi was happy to have Makiko stay for diner and said she would make something special. Meanwhile Kagome gave Makiko a tour of the town and it wasn't long before they ran into Kagome's friends plus Hojo.

"Oh, hi Kagome are you feeling better, you weren't in school today?" Hojo asked with a smile.

Kagome gave a weird smile back and a nervous laugh. "Uh, yeah and I wanted to show Makiko around town, she's new and--" Kagome was interrupted by her friends, minus Hojo, abruptly dragging Makiko away.

"Hey Makiko do you know Kagome's boyfriend?" Eri asked.

"Yeah he's really possessive and has a bad temper," added Yuka and Ayumi just nodded. Makiko shook her head and they all walked back over to Kagome disappointed.

"Uh, well anyway we really have to go now, so, bye," Kagome stated and rushed by leaving her friends behind.

"Kagome what do they mean by boyfriend?" Makiko gave Kagome a suspicious glare, but Kagome didn't speak. "Hmm, let's see. Your friends don't know him, he's possessive, and has a bad temper. Is it someone from the Feudal Era?" Kagome started to blush. "Ha. Now let's see who--" Makiko stopped in med-sentence with realization. "No way!" Makiko yelled.

Kagome's blush deepened as she said, "No way, what?"

Makiko grinned knowing she was right and blurted out, "Your boyfriend is Inuyasha isn't it?" Kagome quickly covered Makiko's mouth hoping no one heard her.

"He's not my boyfriend, they just think he is." Makiko barely heard her whisper. Kagome didn't want anyone to hear her.

"Maybe so, but you still like him don't you?" Makiko asked accusingly.

Kagome blushed again and looked down at the sidewalk unable to face Makiko. "Alright you got me, but you can't tell him, ok?" Kagome looked up pleadingly at her friend and Makiko nodded.

Then they started the walk back to Kagome's house, Makiko smiling to herself that she had uncovered yet another of Kagome's secrets.

When they arrived Ms. Higurashi had diner ready and they all sat down to eat. Afterwards Kagome and Makiko grabbed their bags, Ms Higurashi had packed some extra things for Makiko, and they headed for the well.

----------------------Feudal Era------------------------

"Where is she!" Inuyasha yelled while pacing around the well.

"Calm down! She said they would be back in a couple of days, she might not even come back tonight." Sango was getting really annoyed and so was everyone else. Inuyasha had been pacing and yelling ever since Kagome had left yesterday.

Inuyasha stopped pacing and faced the well. "That's it, I'm going to get her!" but before anyone could do anything the blue light appeared out of the well. "Where the hell have you been Kagome!"

For a minute there was no answer, then there came one word from out of the well, "SIT." Kagome climbed out of the well, helping Makiko who wasn't used to using the vines to get out. They where greeted by the sight of Inuyasha with his face in the dirt.

Then Shippo jumped into Makiko's arms and said, "I'm so happy you came back." he smiled up at her and quickly jumped over to Kagome.

"Hi everyone, it's good to be back," she said looking everyone over. Then she said "It's even nice to see Miroku and Inuyasha," she smiled at their blank expressions and turned to Kagome. "So now what?"

Inuyasha rudely interrupted "Now we go find the Jewel Shards. And what the hell did you just say before!"

Makiko glared at Inuyasha but for only a second, then she smiled and turned back to Kagome still smiling and waiting for an answer. Everyone felt a little creeped out by this.

Kagome spoke up after an awkward silence and explained how and why they needed to find the Jewel Shards and an evil hanyou named Naraku.

They spent the night in the village despite the protests of a certain hanyou who shall remain nameless. Before falling asleep, Makiko proceeded to write down the days events. ' . . . then Miroku went and got started with Sango again. His face is going to hurt for a while. Inuyasha was picking on Shippo, Shippo that cute little ball of fur. Kagome sensed some of these Jewel Shard things that we're supposed to be looking for, but they're not moving right now so we're going to go after them in the morning. Inuyasha had a lot to say about that but Kagome 'persuaded' him to stay.' When she finished writing she tucked her journal away and went to sleep.

Makiko awoke to the sound of a yelling Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku had already woken up from all the noise. "calm down Inuyasha the Jewel Shards are coming towards us aren't they!" Kagome was yelling back and getting in his face.

"Yeah, but their also heading toward the village. We have to get out of here and stop whatever it is," Inuyasha continued to yell.

Then Makiko broke in. "HEY! Don't you think we should be going now if that's the case?" she asked a bit irritated about the way she had been woken up. The bickering pair calmed down and started to gather their things.

InuyashaForever1989: sorry this took so long. I got a serious case of writers block but it's all gone now. Anyway I know I promised to reveal who Makiko is going to fall for but . . . I can't decide so HELP! Ok I have a few idea's but here's where I need help should it be Kouga, Sesshromaru, Naraku (not a personal favorite but still an option), or an OC that I made up? Please help me decide and don't forget to review thanks
