Ren groaned, and rubbed her eyes with the heels of her hands. One thing
was for sure. She had a fucking BAD headache.
She moved, and felt the weight of her back pack. She had slept in her
clothes, and had apparently kept her back pack on...
"So you're finally awake huh?" Ren's head snapped up as she oriented on the unfamiliar voice. "And WHO the hell are YOU?" Ren asked pleasantly.
The guy in front of her blinked in surprise. "I'm a youkai." "THAT'S fascinating dear, or at least I'm sure it would be if I FUCKING KNEW WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS!!!!!!!!!!" "My name is Hiroshi. I'm the second in command to master Kouga." The man said proudly. Ren sighed, massaging her temples. "Have you seen a girl with shoulder length black hair, about 5'2, wearing a sailor fuku?" Hiroshi looked confused at the 'sailor fuku' part, but he nodded nevertheless. "You mean nee-chan?" Ren smiled encouragingly, sensing that this guy wasn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box. "Hai! Could you take me to her please?" she asked putting on her best puppy dog expression. The guy put up an impressive fight, but he was no match for how cute she could be when absolutely necessary.

Kagome's eyes blinked open, and she groggily focused on her surroundings. Kagome would have continued to make sleepy noises, or maybe even roll over and go back to sleep, however, she was stopped by the fact that a pair of rather insistent blue eyes were staring.insistently.at her Of course she did what any girl in her situation would do. She screamed her bloody lungs out.
~!@#$%^&*()_+
"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" "That's my queue!" "Huh?" Ren didn't comment as she slid across the cave rock, her socks making soft 'shhhk' sound on the floor. Her grey blond/grey brown hair fanned out behind her, and the tail of longer hair softly smacked Hiroshi in the face as she skidded to a halt. Ren's eyes narrowed fractionally in confusion. Kagome sat near a fire, next to a guy wearing way too much fur and his hair pulled back into a ponytail. He was chattering at her happily and she seemed to be humoring him. The author feels an obligation to inform the esteemed reader that Ren is usually a kind and caring girl. However, when her life is threatened multiple times, she wakes up in a strange place, and then sees her partner in crime yukking it up with some strange 'hunk', even the nicest girl with become angry. Ren, fuming, silently stormed up to the couple and shoved the boy out of her way. She then proceeded to take his place by the fire, and scream at Kagome. "KA-GO-ME!!!! SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOUR LITTLE CHAT WITH FUR BOY BUT I'D LIKE TO GET HOME!!!!!!!" "Calm down! It's not what you think!" "LIKE HELL IT'S NOT!!!!! JUST GET ME HOME!!!!!!" "It's not that simple Ren." "WHY NOT?!?!?!?!?!?" "Because, When that guy I was with yesterday came through, it destroyed the well. He got the.thing.but it destroyed the well before he could stop it." Ren just stared at her for a few minutes, then turned and stared into the fire, eyes reflecting the light of the flames. "S-s.so.so you mean.we can't.get home?" "No. We can't." Ren drew her knees up to her chest, and rested her chin on the tops of them. "W-what.what are we gonna do Kagome? What is this place?" "Ok. You're not going to believe this, but I'll tell you the story. A long time ago there was a priestess named Kikyou. She was very powerful, and she loved a half demon named Inuyasha. She guarded an evil object called the shikon no tama that Inuyasha wished to use to become a full demon, however, he had agreed to become human for Kikyou. Both Kikyou and Inuyasha were attacked, and after a lot of messy details that I won't go into, Kikyou killed Inuyasha. Fast-forward fifty years. I get pulled into a well by an ugly demon centipede-lady-thing. After a long drawn out ordeal, I freed Inuyasha, we saved the shikon jewel and I kept a hold of it. Then the jewel was shattered and we are currently looking for more pieces of it. Kikyou was resurrected, and stole a piece of my soul, so that she could stay alive. Kouga is a friend of mine..yeah.There's more too it, but I'll tell you later when we both feel better. Basically, we're stuck in an insane world that will eventually give us major headaches at the very least. " Said Kagome miserably. "We're never going to see our families again are we?" asked Ren in such a quiet manner that Kagome knew she was just covering up hurt. "Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you. Why is your middle name Hisano?" "It's a family name. Every woman in our family is cursed. We don't know why." "And yet you still keep the name?" "The NAME isn't cursed. It describes the soul of what is us." "Maybe, but it's still kind of a creepy name." ".How long do ya think.before.they notice we're gone?" "Souta will probably call Mom in the morning. She'll see the smashed well and know what happened." "Aren't you going to miss her?" "..Yeah.but being unhappy won't do any good Ren sighed and sniffled slightly. "Why is everyone dressed funny?" "Well, you're REALLY not going to believe this, but.We're in the Sengoku Jidai." "Ok. You'd be right. I don't believe it." "Yes well, you will when you---" Kagome was interrupted when an angry clash and two yells were heard from just outside the cave door. "Where the hell is she you wimpy wolf?!" "Why should I tell YOU Inu korro?!" "Cuz if ya don't, YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!" "So you say DOG BOY!!!!!!!!!" "Whatchu doin?" Asked Ren in a drawling voice, exhibiting both curiosity and annoyance. Kouga took this opportunity to drag Kagome against him in a fashion that would suggest romantic involvement between the two. Inuyasha would have beaten him into a bloody pulp most likely, however Ren saved him the trouble. When Kouga, who the author feels obligated to had a legitimate reason for not paying attention, looked down from grinning teasingly at Inuyasha, Ren had taken Kagome's place, and was glaring at him. She slapped him across the face, and glared some more. "Why I NEVER! Someone I just-wait, scratch that. Someone I NEVER met, comes up and sticks his hand on my ASS?!" "He did WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" "Well, I just kinda screamed it doncha know." Ren drawled in Inuyasha's general direction. She shoved Kouga to the ground with her hip and helped Kagome up before she made her way over to Inuyasha. "Hello. I don't believe we've met. My name is Ren Akamizuno." She stated, hand outstretched. Inuyasha looked at the hand confusedly before hesitantly sniffing it. "Erm..okey?" said Ren terribly confused by this point. "Kagome, what the hell is she trying to do?" "She's attempting to shake your hand Inu-baka." Inuyasha growled at the evil nick name. Ren's pant leg twitched. This went unnoticed by Kagome, but Inuyasha picked up on the movement immediately. Now that he thought about it, Ren's smell all together was kind of weird for a human. In fact, he didn't think he smelled human blood in her at all. He glared at her. She didn't comment save to arch an eyebrow. "What are you?" "Huh?" "Inuyasha! Don't be rude!" Inuyasha ignored Kagome, and continued glaring at Ren, making it obvious that he expected an answer from her. "Um.I'm a girl.?" "You know what I mean. What species are you?" Ren looked at him as if he were insane, and raised the other eyebrow. "Um.I'm human?" "Stop lying." Growled Inuyasha, seeing her pant leg twitch again nervously. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm human as far as I know." Said Ren with the kind of perfect confidence that is impossible to fake. He growled, grabbing her leg, and ripping the leg of her trousers off at the knee. She growled in a similar manner, truly pissed at this point, and gave him a right hook to remember. It connected with his right eye, and sent him flying into the opposite wall of the cave. She stared numbly at his crumpled form, her fist still in the position it had stopped moving at. "Oh..my god.what just happened?" asked a very confused Kagome. "Dude..I'm sorry I hit your boyfriend...i really hope he's ok...but..still...he fucking grabbed me! It was self defense!" "You call that self defense? I'd really hate to see what you call an all out brawl." Stated a sullen Kouga. Ren most likely would have answered, however, this will never be known as the happy group was interrupted at this moment by the yelling of Kouga's wolf youkai 'buddies' and a rumbling that was coming closer by the second.
The small group rushed out of the cave, Kouga following Ren, who pushed him out of the way in her rush to see what on earth was going on. Kagome glared, bringing up the rear, and lamenting the company she was in as a general factor. As if a jealous dog demon and a thick headed wolf youkai weren't enough, add a Yank to the mix and you'll either have world war three, or hell. Kagome was stopped her musings, and her movement when she ran into Kouga, who appeared to have run into Ren, who was stationary a few feet from the cave doorway. Inuyasha stood nearby, in a cleared area, with Tetsusaiga drawn, and charged up. Kagome followed the gazes of the others, and stopped dead when she reached her destination. Ok. This was definitely quite strange. There was an 80-foot rock monster thing of doom or some such quality facing off with Inuyasha. "I am GENCHI son of GOLEM. I am here to FIND a hanyou by the name of INUYASHA." Inuyasha growled at the mention of his name and returned to a ready stance. "WHY DO YOU SEEK THE ONE CALLED INUYASHA?!!!!!!" yelled Inuyasha. In all seriousness Ren was kind of surprised when the thing answered Inuyasha's corny reply. With all that height she would have figured it wouldn't be able to hear them. You learn something new every day. "My MASTER Naraku has sent me to DESTROY him so that he can RETRIEVE the rest of some rock. You are HE yes?" "THAT'S RIGHT! BUT I'M SORRY THAT I CAN'T LET YOU TAKE THE JEWEL!" The rock monster thing of doom or some such quality laughed, or at least, Ren assumed it was a laugh. She didn't suppose there was much ELSE it could be, although it sounded a bit.um.gravely.no pun intended. "Little PARASITE creature, you do NOT have a CHOICE in the matter." "WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT YOU OVERSIZED DIRT-CLOD!!!!!" Kagome rolled her eyes. Oh yeah. THAT ONE WAS ORIGINAL. The author feels obligated to insert and exaggerated eye roll here. Inuyasha lunged at the thing, cutting it neatly in half. The assorted wolf youkai started cheering, only to be silenced by a grim looking Kouga. "It's not over yet." He said simply. That phrase was enough to silence all of them.
"So you're finally awake huh?" Ren's head snapped up as she oriented on the unfamiliar voice. "And WHO the hell are YOU?" Ren asked pleasantly.
The guy in front of her blinked in surprise. "I'm a youkai." "THAT'S fascinating dear, or at least I'm sure it would be if I FUCKING KNEW WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS!!!!!!!!!!" "My name is Hiroshi.
