Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha, yadda yadda yadda. Just don't feel
like coming up with an insane disclaimer today. You understand, right?
Author's Notes: Thanks to Rachel, Hanakin, and Kaze-chan for reviewing. *glares at everyone who didn't review* People, reviews are the only way for me to know you're reading. I have a slight insecurity complex, so I get *really* discouraged if I don't think people are reading my fic. And then I stop writing. And then it would be the fault of everyone who didn't review. So if you like this fic, review! If you don't like this fic, review! If you want to flame me, go ahead. Seriously. I love flames. They're so amusing. Don't be afraid to review more than once. It lets me know that you're still reading and haven't given up from sheer disgust. So I beg of you: review.
They had arrived at the well. Katherine stared down questioningly and looked back up at Kagome and Inu-Yasha. Kagome motioned for her to jump in. Katherine looked confused at first, but caught on quickly enough. Katherine jumped in the well eagerly, but a yelp of "Itai!" told Kagome that something was wrong. She peered down, and Katherine stood in the well, wincing and cursing in English.
"What the hell…?" Inu-Yasha was puzzled. Only he and Kagome could travel through the well, but if the girl hadn't gotten there through the well, then how?
Still cursing, Katherine climbed out of well, glared at the two and sighed, crestfallen. It seemed like she would never get home.
Kagome picked up her pack. "Miroku and Shippo are waiting for us at the village. Come on."
~**~
"Kagome!" Shippo greeted the teenager enthusiastically, running up to her. Miroku's greeting was more restrained, a simple "Welcome back."
Then his eyes fell on Katherine. He took his hands in hers and said. "It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask you a favor?" Katherine cocked her head slightly and looked at him questioningly. "Will you bear my child?"
At that moment, a skinny teenaged girl came running out of a house yelling, "I will, Miroku! I'll bear your child! I looooooooove you!"
"Eep! Hanakin!" Miroku ducked behind Kagome and hid. He tried to hide under her skirt, but she wouldn't let that fly, so he had to be content to cower behind her back.
"Mirooooooooooooku! Where are yooooooooou?" The girl who Miroku had called Hanakin looked around and asked Kagome, "Did you see an incredibly sexy priest go by?"
"Uhhhh, yeah. He went that way." She pointed in the opposite direction.
"Oh, okay. Thank you!" Hanakin ran off in the direction Kagome had pointed.
Once she was out of earshot, Miroku stood and resumed his previous position. "Now, back to where we left off. Will you bear my child?"
Katherine looked at Kagome for explanation. Kagome just pointed at Miroku and said one word:
"Pervert".
Katherine shrieked with rage and punched him in the stomach. "PERVERT!"
Miroku fell down with an "Oof!" and appeared to have the breath knocked out of him. When he recovered, he said, "She's very strong."
Katherine, however, didn't seem to notice his critique. Instead, she had noticed Shippo. "EEK! CUTE!" She began to have a spazz attack Shippo, which consisted mostly of squeals of "You are so adorable!" And he seemed to like the attention.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group was watching and sweatdropping. "Uh…this is Katherine, you guys. She's from my time…I think…and she doesn't speak very much Japanese. I *think* she's from America."
Katherine, upon hearing her name, stood up and looked around at the people around here. Everything looked so…so *foreign*. So different from what she was used to. She was trapped in a time not her own, in a country not her own, surrounded by people who spoke a language not her own. Kagome was nice, and she liked Inu-Yasha despite his unpleasant nature. The little fox-boy was adorable, but she wasn't so sure about the pervert. Kagome introduced the fox-boy as Shippo and the pervert as Miroku. *Will I be able to be with these people 24/7? I mean, one's a demon who calls me "stupid girl", and another is a pervert. But hey, I'm not always right in my first impressions. I can get along with Inu-Yasha, I think. I have – had – friends that I argued a lot with. And maybe Miroku isn't so-* Her thoughts were cut off by Miroku's hand on her butt. She reddened and slapped him across the face. She began to shout in English, "How dare you…" then stopped. *No. I have to have restraint. Otherwise, they might find out.* Tears of homesickness, uncertainty, and exhaustion welled up, and, to her horror, began to run down her cheeks. "Sorry," she said softly in Japanese. "I'm so sorry." And she began to sob quietly, apologizing frequently.
Kagome, moved by pity and sympathy, put her arm around the silver-haired girl and said, "It's okay. You can cry. I understand." Katherine didn't understand her words, but she understood her tone. So she cried.
End Notes: Okay, this is a reeeeally short chapter, I know. But I wanted to leave off from here, and I didn't know any way to lengthen it. So I just left off here. By the way, did anyone see the article in Time magazine about ff.net? ^_^ Yesterday was so perfect! First they had two of my very favorite songs on the radio in the STAR LOUNGE! Then, there was something in YM that I actually liked. I hate that magazine, but my mom got a subscription for God-knows-what reason. But they had a big picture of Alex Band in it, so I was very happy. *swoon* And then there was that article! So I had a pretty good day yesterday. ^_^ Anyway, pleeeeeeeeease review! Help improve my self esteem! Ja!
