So Midori is in Kagome's Time. Yup. That's basically all the happened in the last chapter besides some of her confusion about what's reality and what she wants to be reality. That's some deep stuff *rolls eyes*. Hint: I hate writing drama, but I love writing drama…I think my brain is just dead right now. *runs to kitchen for nutrition!*

Disclaimer: "Mwahaha! I is EvilDude! So I am evil! I am stealing this account and claiming that Inuyasha is-!" MidnightSummer punches EvilDude in the face epically and he falls out of the chair. "You shall no prevail villain! For I am the true author of this fanfiction and I don't claim the actual Inuyasha Series as being mine!" "Nooooo! My plan is foiled! If it's written down it's been established!" "Get out of here and…how'd you figure out my computer password?!" EvilDude runs away, arms flailing in the air. MS runs after him, now in a mission.

To be continued…But not really

Chapter Nine: Through The Snow

Snow. So much snow. Has it really been that long? I guess it must have been since my leg is almost completely healed, even the scrap I got on my knee was worse than the previous hole inflicted by the demon Naraku.

I stared out the window from my room at the scarred tree that I remember from my first day here. I've been here for a while now, not sure how long but I now know the people that live here is 'Gramps', Souta, 'Mama', and the one named Kagome that I have yet to meet. Sometimes I wonder if she's real but I've seen pictures of her. I don't really talk to the family much about anything besides where I came from and how I got here. I know little to nothing about them. I guess it's good to keep it that way.

I heard a knock on my door and little Souta walked in with all of his snow gear on, ready to play in the snow. "Midori, do you want to come out with me? It's better than staying inside with nothing to do?"

"It is," I agreed, "but I don't have much to wear outside."

"You can borrow Kagome's stuff. You're about the same age. You're both fifteen aren't you?"

I just turned fifteen not too long ago. "I guess so. She wouldn't mind would she?" I asked.

"She's never here to use them really," he smiled. "Not to mention, you're already using her clothes anyway."

"I guess," I smiled. "I'll meet you outside okay?"

"Yeah! Okay!"

He rushed out and soon enough I saw him outside, making snow angels. I closed the curtains and went into the closet with a few clothes I'm borrowing from Kagome until I go home. I moved out of the old pajamas and into a pair of jeans and a weird, blue, long sleeved shirt. I left my room and went out to the entry way closet where there was a pair of boots, a jacket, a scarf, gloves, and these odd things called earmuffs. I've seen Mama wear something like them before so it didn't take me too long to figure them out…after accidently slapping myself in the face a few times.

I went out the door into the cool winter day and it took me only a few seconds before I tripped and went flying into a snow pile.

"Here we go again," I sighed. I pulled my face out of the ground and Souta ran over to me.

"Are you okay Midori? You sure fall a lot."

"Yeah, I know, it's the shoes."

"Um okay, want to help me make a snowman?"

"Sure! Me and an old friend use to have made the best snowmen." I started rolling up the bottom part. "Do you want to roll the middle part Souta?" I asked, pushing the large ball in front of the shrine.

"Yeah, I have these rocks for the face too," he smiled, handing them to me. "Work on the head will you?"

I nodded and started to roll up a ball that was smaller than the one he was making. The tip of my nose started to get a little cold but it was hardly noticeable. Souta's cheeks were already turning red, but he was bundled up really nicely, he looked like he was drowning in his layers.

"Midori, help me!" Souta called.

I turned and he was trying to shove the middle part onto the base. I quickly set down the head and rushed over, not falling, and helped him lift it up. We put it into position then he grabbed the head and set it on top. As he arranged the sticks as the arm, I put the face on. I slipped the gloves off of my hands and put them on the ends of the sticks. I also took off my scarf and those devil earmuffs.

"There, that's a pretty awesome snowman in my opinion," I stated. "Good job there Souta."

He gave me a high five then we both froze when we heard movement from inside the shrine. I raised my eyebrow then the doors flew open and a girl ran right into out snowman. It toppled over with the girl on top of it.

"Aw! Kagome! You killed our snowman!" Souta whined.

She shook the snow out of her hair and made it onto her feet. She was my age with black hair that went to her shoulder blades. Her eyes were a dark brown and for some reason she had a bow in one hand and arrows strapped to her back.

"Huh? Who are you?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

"It's Midori, but are you the one who knows about the whole time travel thing? Kagome?" I questioned. I would have headed back by now if I thought I had something to return back to. My village got attacked by demons…I'm not in denial; they're probably not alive anymore. I won't believe it until I see it for myself though. Maybe if she can help me, I can go back and maybe find another village. Not many villages accept strangers but if she knows some people it would be easier.

Surprise crossed her face. "I am Kagome, how do you know about it?"

"I'm from the past so…"

"You're from back in the Feudal Era? How did you get here?" She shook her head. "Souta go inside will you?"

He ran inside without much of a thought and I didn't continue until he closed the door behind him.

"I fell through the well and I haven't gone back, those are dangerous times to be traveling alone," I explained. "So…is there a way you can bring me to some village where I can live?"

"Of course," she agreed, being friendly. "I was actually coming home for a few days but there's a village nearby where the well comes out. I have friends there and they'll set you up somewhere."

"Really?" Could it be that easy?

"Sure, it's not a big deal Midori. Just say that you're with me and you'll make a good home there," Kagome assured me. "I'll be back there in three days."
