Here is Chapter four! PLEASE REVIEW!

Kagome's POV

I turned around and saw Neal, Mozzie, June, and Peter staring at me with large eyes. They all started asking me questions at once, not taking a break between each question. It felt like they were growing taller while I was shrinking. Without realizing it I started to close in on myself, pushing out the outside world and just focusing on the inside. My mind going back to Sesshomaru-sama's conversation. My shrine was destroyed … my shrine was destroyed … my shine was…

Neal's POV

We had followed Kagome's conversation with the white haired man with rapt attention. We held onto every word waiting to ask questions till the time was right. When the white haired man told Kagome he wasn't going to bring her with him she looked devastated, and I didn't blame her one bit. She wakes up at the bottom of a strange well in a place she doesn't know, surrounded by people she doesn't know. Then someone she does know shows up out of nowhere and leaves her with us strangers. I felt bad for her, I really did. She talked to the small black haired girl, I think they said her name was Rin, for a while before Rin followed the strange green thing out the door chasing after the while haired man. Kagome stood there staring at the door for a bit before visibly flinching. Then she turned around and looked at us. Peter, Mozzie, and June all started asking questions one after another. All that I asked was "Are you alright Kagome?" she didn't seem to hear me over the torrent of questions still being thrown at her.

I could see Kagome drawing into herself. Then her eyes started to cloud over, getting a panicked look in them. Out of nowhere Kagome threw her hands over ears, screamed, fell to her knees with her head touching the floor. She kept screaming and I saw tears falling fast down her face. Instantly everybody stopped asking questions. Everyone felt bad, but for some reason I knew that this reaction was from something different. Peter got that look that said he was in his protective/comfort role. He walked forward to calm the girl down when he suddenly stopped like he hit something. I thought I saw something pink, but I just brushed it off as nothing, just me being tired.

"Peter why did you stop?" I asked him.

"Something's stopping me, I can't go any closer." He told me. Mozzie was there in an instant to check it out. He also stopped the same distance away from Kagome. He put is hand out and he touched something that flashed pink. It stayed pink around his hand but a flash of it rippled and we saw a dome around Kagome briefly before the ripple disappeared.

I turned to June "Why don't you try? Maybe it just keeps males out." I reasoned to her.

June came out of a daze then told me "Oh alright, let me try then." She walked up with her arms out in front of her. Suddenly she hit something and it flashed pink.

"Well so much for that idea." Mozzie said.

I looked at Kagome very concerned. She was still crying and screaming. Well not so much screaming anymore it was more like very loud crying with the occasional shriek thrown in.

Peter gave me a calculating look "Neal why don't you try?"

I looked at Peter confused "Why would I be any different from any of you?"

Peter sighed at me "Just try it would you? What is the worst that could happen, you get stopped by a pink flash. Best case you get to Kagome."

Peter made a good point, there was no harm in trying. I walk forward one step at a time, wary of the pink barrier that was coming. Mozzie was still playing with the barrier so I could see where it was. I reached my hand out and touched a barrier that flashed pink. I repeated what Mozzie had said "Well so much for that idea." Mozzie took his hands off the barrier and shrugged at me. Well what are we going to do I thought. I had my hand on the barrier, sort of leaning on it to see if pressure had anything to do with it. As soon as Mozzie's ripples disappeared suddenly there was no barrier and I was falling forward. To say I was shocked was an understatement, but I have to say Kagome was even more shocked than I was. Kagome picked her head up from the floor and looked at me with wide eyes filled with tears.

"How did you…?" she started asking but then out of nowhere she lunged at me. I was startled for a second, but all she did was throw her arms around my waist and sob into my chest. I looked up at Peter with a 'help me' look in my eyes. Peter was just as surprised as I was, he knew I wasn't the best with crying people. He mimed putting one arm around her and the other petting her hair, so that's what I did. She squeezed my waist all the tighter. I thought I heard her say something that sounded like "My shrine" That rang a bell. Didn't that white haired man say something about a shrine? So she lived at a shrine. I thought back to the conversation then remembered him saying "The bone's eater well was destroyed along with the shrine it was surrounded by."

Then it clicked, her home had been destroyed. I put my hands on her shoulders and pushed her back from me. Her hands fell to her sides and her head fell, she was crying silent, sad, defeated tears now. I bent down so we were eye to eye. I put my one hand under her chin so she would look at me.

"Hey it's going to be okay. I'll help any way I can I promise. You see those people over there?" I waited until she looked and nodded that she did see my friends "Well they all want to help to, but they can't get to you because of your barrier thing. Do you think you could take that down?" I was talking very slowly and carful like I was talking to a child and not an almost adult. She looked at me confused mouthing 'barrier thing?' then it clicked in her mind what I was talking about.

"Oh, sorry it's a defense mechanism. If I am unable to protect myself that does it for me. It's part of my being a Miko thing." She said sadly. She paused for a while then looked back up at me with sad eyes. "Neal, I lost my home and I don't know how. I don't even know where to go now."

"Well you can stay here if you want. That way if that man comes back he'll know where you are." I told her.

"You. You would let me stay with you? A complete stranger?" She asked me with wide eyes, bot believing me.

"Yes I would, you seem like a trustworthy person. Kagome would you like to stay here with me and June? Mozzie is here most of the time as well. So how about it?"

She looked down at the ground in thought. Then she looked at me hopefully. "I would like that very much. Thank you." She said the last part in a whisper. With that the barrier came down.

June rushed forward and gave Kagome a big hug. "You'll be okay sweetie." Kagome's eyes teared up again but now for an entirely different reason.

"Thank you." This time she said it nice and loud. I could tell she meant every word of it.

"Neal I have to head home, I'll see you at work tomorrow." Peter told me then walked out the door. A couple of seconds later the door opened again to show Peter's head sticking in. "Oh, and El says hi." Then the door was shut once again and Peter was gone.

Mozzie was going upstairs to my part of the house while June was taking Kagome to her guest bedroom saying something about pajamas. I shrugged to myself then went upstairs to get some sleep before work tomorrow. Just because I found a girl under the floor doesn't stop my job. I wish.

Kagome's POV

I couldn't believe they were letting me stay here. I am a complete stranger they found trapped in a well under their floor. Didn't they wonder how I got under the floor without the floor getting torn up just like they had to do? Why hadn't they asked me any questions after my panic attack? Maybe they thought the panic attack had been brought on by the questions. Maybe that's a good thing though, if they believe asking me too many questions starts a panic attack they won't ask me questions! Well a girl can hope. I don't know what I should tell them, or how I'm getting back. Maybe I should try the well I came through this tie. It could be because the bone eater well was destroyed I have to use this well now. That's a theory I thought to myself. June was saying how she would find me some pajamas to wear when I informed her that I do indeed have pajamas with me. She looked at me shocked.

"How do you have pajamas with you?" she asked me.

"I have a pair in my back pack" I told her. I usually just sleep in my clothes because we usually sleep outside and the more often I change the more chances the perverted monk Miroku and Inuyasha have to see me undressed. But when we stay at an Inn, shrine, or someone's house I change into my pj's for a nice change. June showed me to the guest bedroom then left to go to her own. I laid down and fell asleep thinking about my friends from the feudal era and how I was going to get back to them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip to next morning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning I woke up to Mozzie yelling at Neal. Something about a key to a music box. My only thought was why would two grown men be interested in a music box? I got up and changed into a pair of jeans and a tank top. I came out of my room just as Neal was leaving the house. The mood in the house changed instantly when he left and I didn't particularly like it. So I did the first thing that came to mind, I followed Neal. It was really easy to, I'm used to following people who don't particularly want to be followed in the feudal era. I followed Neal all the way to a very large building that looked official. Now my curiosity was peaked, this looked like a police building but from Neal's aura it gave the indication that that he had an authority complex. I followed him in and watched him get into an elevator. I waited until I saw which floor it stopped at then I called the elevator for myself. I pushed the button for the 21st floor and waited, listening to that annoying elevator music. I got out of the elevator and walked through the glass doors. I was immediately, and annoyingly, stopped by a woman.

"Hey you, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?" The woman asked me.

I disliked her right from the start, and I hate to say but my bitchy side came out "I followed someone here if you must know. What are you doing here shouldn't you be doing some paperwork or something?"

The woman glared at me like she wished she could glare me out of existence. Which made me feel so much better that I had gotten under her skin. I gave her an innocent smile. "What did you just say?" she asked me very lowly.

"I said that you aren't doing your job and you should leave me alone and get back to work. I am in no way any of your concern so go away." I told her in a very nice and polite voice which made her even madder. I was slightly embarrassed to say that made me very happy.

"Why you little…" She started to say, buy I interrupted her. Remembering that Peter had seemed like a cop, also figuring that they would be working together since Neal had called Peter last night I made a choice and hoped I was correct.

With my loudest voice without screaming I yelled "Peter Burke! PETER BURKE!" the entire division had fallen silent when I yelled Peter's name the first time, but everybody seemed to shrink in their seats with the second louder yell. The woman then started coming at me with the intent to subdue me, but I had dealt with worse than her, I mean I've fought demons almost daily. One angry cop was no big deal.

Peter came out of his office and I saw Neal right behind him. Happy that my guess was right I smiled and waved at him. The woman was still coming at me, I had been flawlessly dodging her attempt to grab me. Peter was obviously about to ask what was going on, but I beat him to it "Hey Peter do you think you could call off your guard puppy?" I asked with a happy look on my face. The woman made an angry noise and dove for me again. I sighed and sidestepped her again all while looking right at Peter.

"Diana that is enough. Kagome what are you doing here?" Peter asked in a slightly aggravated voice.

"Oh that one is easy" I said the woman, Diana, had stopped chasing me and was now once again trying to glare me out of existence. "I was bored so I followed Neal here."

Neal gave me a shocked look as was Peter, but I do believe that they were in different kinds of shock. Feeling bold, and like I said BORED, I walked through the still silent room and up to Peter and Neal. I walked past them and into Peter's office, and then I jumped up and sat on top of Peter's desk. I leaned forward and smiled at Peter while saying "You know Peter I don't think the puppy likes me very much." Peter and Neal looked at each other then walked into Peter's office and closed the door so there was a barrier between me and the puppy which I now decided is what I am going to call her. She kinda reminded me of Inuyasha in the way that they both had very short tempers. Since I couldn't call Inuyasha puppy without being killed she was the next best thing, all she needed was the cute ears. I giggled to myself seeing puppy's glare still on me.

Peter must have come to some sort of decision because he gently grabbed my arm and pulled me off the desk and out of his office. He then ushered me to a room that I decided must have been the interrogation room. He had me sit in one seat while he sat in the other while Neal leaned up against the glass wall. For some reason puppy had come in as well. A minute later a black man came in as well. Everybody that Peter wanted here must have been here because he started talking to me. "Okay Kagome, if we are going to figure out what happened to you you're going to have to tell us your story."

I looked at him in shock, he was planning on helping me. Even with how much trouble I've been to him since we met? I looked down at the table trying to figure out what to do, then a brilliant idea came to me. I looked up put my elbows on the table and laced my fingers together. "Have you ever heard of the story of the Shikon no Miko? She was the person who was the guardian of the Shikon no Tama, or in English it would translate into the Jewel of Four Souls." I waited until all of them shook their heads negatively. I smiled then continued. "This a story that was passed down generation to generation and the Higurashi shrine, but what many people don't know is that it was a true story. To have you understand my story let me first tell you the story of the Shikon no Miko. Is that acceptable?" I asked them. Peter, Neal, Puppy, and the other man all gave positive answers. Alright it is a very long story so do you want me to tell it to you now or later, when you won't be interrupted by anybody?"

It was Neal that answered "Actually I think we should wait until Mozzie and June are present because they are involved in this as well and if it's a long story you won't want to tell it multiple time would you?" Neal asked me. He was completely right, to tell my story twice would be highly annoying. Neal turned to Peter, why doesn't everybody come to my house tonight and we'll have a get together. Peter told Neal that was a good idea and said something about bringing El with him.

I stood up and started walking towards the door, I turned to the three leaning up against the wall "By the way what is your name?" I asked the man.

"Oh right, my name is Clinton Jones, everybody just calls me Jones though." He told me.

"Alright I'll see you tonight Peter, Neal, Jones …" I stopped and couldn't help myself, I really couldn't I looked right into Diana's eyes and said "Puppy can't wait to see you tonight!" With that I ran out the door and down the hall before I saw her reaction to me. I kinda felt bad because I had probably left Puppy in a bad mood for Peter, but decided that it wasn't really any of my concern until later. I smiled as I left the white collar division making a big show of saying goodbye to everybody in the main lobby. They all looked at me like I had gone crazy but I didn't really mind because nobody knew me. I exited the police building and started the walk back to Neal's place.

Well how was that chapter? It was sort of a filler so Kagome could meet Diana and Jones, but I think it turned out well and I had fun writing it. PLEASE REVIEW!
