*Another session of introductions and a long story of how everyone came to be here*
"So what I can conclude from all your ramblings is either most of you are idiots or you just suck at math, possibly both." Freya said in a very calculating tone.
"Why you little-" Inuyasha said reaching for his sword before Kagome interrupted.
"Calm down, Inuyasha."
"This wench just insulted us!" he yelled still with his hand on his sword.
"Just let her explain. I'm sure she has a reason. Right?" Kagome motioned for Freya to continue.
"You all introduced yourselves at the beginning and then told your story, but the numbers don't add up. Kagome you said your group was helping a detective before coming here and she came with." She turned toward Kagome's group.
"Yes and?"
"Do you see her any where?" Everyone looked around the room and realized no one had seen her in awhile.
"How could we have forgotten about her so quickly?" Sango asked really concerned about the disappearance of the weird stranger.
"Remember Sango. She is a demon and could have been using us the whole time." Miroku said adding his two cents.
"Whatever. If she wants Nana - by the way, thanks for telling me she was even here, Lily, Patricia" Freya said in an annoyed tone. "she can try all she wants. Many people have tried to take her for all kinds of reasons and in very imaginative ways. She always gets away and punishes her attacker without bothering anyone. By the end it's like nothing ever really happened and business goes on as usually."
"You are telling us to leave the intruder be." Sesshomaru said more than asked. He seem a bit irritated by her suggestion.
"You are free to do as you please within reason of course." The redheaded woman stood and put her dishes in the kitchen. "If you wish to help her you should ask first. It is the polite thing to do. I'm off to work. Lily, Patricia I expect you to have made a sizable dent in your new found chores." With that Freya left for the day.
In the hallway
Rapunzel was nearing the bedrooms. She stopped a few steps away when the door suddenly opened and Jack walked out with Krystal on his head. "Oh hey. We were just about to go see you."
"Welcome back, mother." Krystal said as she jumped down and changed into a regular sized fox. She sniffed all over Rapunzel probably checking for injuries.
"I missed you too, Krystal." She stopped sniffing once she got to the mokomoko and covered her nose with her paw.
"What is that? It stinks like a male."
"Don't worry about it. I'm about to give it back to its owner anyway. Would you like to join me?"
"I guess it couldn't hurt."
In Jack's rooms
It was decided (against Kagome's wishes) that Inuyasha's group would leave. They needed to get the two boys home soon and continue their hunt for the jewel shards.
"I'm going to miss you two." Kristen walked up to her two new friends really believing this was the last time they would speak.
"It was nice meeting you." Fox said giving her a hug.
"Yeah."
"You should visit us sometime, since you know where we are." Wolf hugged her also but held on and whispered in her ear: "No one will be there to interrupt, next time."
Kristen blushed brightly and the boys started bantering again.
"Come on boys. It's time to go home." Kagome called from the door.
"Oh wait just a moment. Boys you can visit her any time you wish back in your homeland." Rapunzel said as she walked in. She walked over to the small group and handed Fox a map and Kristen a book with a page marked. "Open the book to the marked page while I speak with your friends."
Rapunzel turned back to the boys while Kristen did as she was told. "Kid, I have given you a map of Japan. I marked where we are in your time. Come visit anytime, ok?"
"How did you know?" Kagome asked.
"Know what?" she turned back to Kristen to explain what she had given her.
"That their not from here."
"I pulled them out of the time well thingy. You'd have to be an idiot not to notice after that." She said like it was nothing. "Besides they smell like 2015. Anyway, go to this address to find your family and take this medicine. It will help with the memory loss. 3 times every day okay?"
Kristen nodded before taking a bag and leaving to do as told. "Thanks for everything."
"Go to the buildings on the west shores and you'll find us. Well sooner or later. Shouldn't be too hard to find with the big Atlantis University symbol right out front." Rapunzel pointed to what she was talking about on the map. Next to an X on it was a picture that could only be described as strange. It seemed like just a bunch of scribbles, but for some odd reason the boys looking at it could tell it was some type of animal.
"What is Atlantis University?" Miroku asked from the door.
"This building. This whole building is Atlantis University. Our symbol is the white bird."
"Now that you mention it this does look like a bird-ish thing." Kagome said now holding the map. "Okay, I guess I could give you a ride to this place. It isn't too far from the shrine, I think. Let's go."
Inuyasha's group had finally left, but Kouga and Sesshomaru's team were still in the room. "So do you guys want something?"
"Yeah. The kid wanted to ask you something." He pointed over to Jack who had come in room with her. He was standing nearby holding Krystal in his arms and started looking a bit nervous about being put on the spot.
"Yes Jack. What is it?" Rapunzel turn toward him with a sweet smile. He felt so guilty, but he really wanted to do this.
"Well, Kouga invited me to be trained with wolves." He paused expecting some type of negative response. When he got none he continued. "He said he would teach me about instincts and pack, but I would have to go stay with him in the eastern den with him."
"Okay."
"Auntie, I don't want you to think I'm running away or anything with you just returning and all."
"I don't think you're running and I'm not upset."
"You're not?"
"No. I knew you would want to leave home at some point and this could be very good for you. So if you want to go you can. It's not like I can stop you anyway." Jack seemed so relieved and sorry at the same time.
"Really? Thanks Auntie! I should have known you'd understand." Jack gave her a tight hug in thanks. She didn't hug back, but Jack was too happy to notice.
"Just wait until tomorrow to leave okay?" Jack loosened his grip and held her by the shoulders at arm's length.
"Sure. Can I ask why?" Jack asked curiously.
"You can't go away without a going away present. Just do this last favor for me before you leave, okay?"
"Thanks Auntie."
"You can stay here overnight if you want. Then you can take him with you sometime tomorrow." Rapunzel said looking at Kouga now. 'I guess. He'll have to stay just a few more hours.'
