Episode 2: Packing Bags and Crossing Time
Kagome raced home from the bus stop where she left Ayumi waving good-bye.
Kagome: *Oh! I'll never make it... I still have to pack!*
She raced across the shrine grounds, through the house, and up into her bedroom, thoughtlessly setting the little love potion bottle with her stuff to be packed. In a fit of clothes and potato chips, somehow she got all of the stuff into her bulging backpack and made to the door of the house.
"Kagome!"
"Oh, mom! I've got to go! No time for chat!" Kagome cried, stopping for a second at the front stoop. Her mother's smiling face met her for a moment.
"But didn't you say you needed soda for that lunch you made for your friends? Here, I went out and bought four bottles. I hope it's enough," the older woman said, presenting the small bottles filled to the brim with clear liquid. Kagome smiled.
"Yeah, mom. Thanks," she said, setting down her bag for just long enough for her mother to put in the little bottles.
Mother: *That's strange... Kagome had one bottle already in her bag...*
"Bye mom! I'll be back soon!" Kagome called back as she flew out the door. Her mother waved as she watched Kagome disappear into the well house.
Mother: *Oh, well. Maybe I did buy five...*

"Where is that stupid girl?!" Inuyasha cried, pacing back and forth on the wooden edge of the well. He stopped and leaned over it again, grumbling irritably to himself. Shippou softly giggled behind him.
"What the heck are you laughing at?!" Inuyasha yelled back at the fox, sending darts at him through his eyes. Shippou just smiled. A deep growl could be heard in Inuyasha's throat.
"It's so obivious," Shippou said all-knowingly. Inuyasha began pacing again.
"What's so obivious, you little..."
"How much you worry over Kagome... 'oh, Shippou when's Kagome coming back'... 'where's that stupid Kagome'..." Shippou said, mocking Inuyasha happily. "It's so obivious that you like her."
"What do you mean 'like'?" Inuyasha asked coldly, ignoring the other parts of Shippou's mockery. Shippou just laughed.
"Oh, forget it..." Inuyasha mumbled. He looked into the well again with a loud sigh. Still not there.
"Come on, Inuyasha. Lady Kagome will come soon enough. Just be patient, no matter how much you miss her," Miroku said all too wisely, sitting crosslegged near the whistling Shippou. Inuyasha's face turned bright red.
"I do not miss her!"
"Please, it's okay to be open with your feelings, Inuyasha. We're all good, honest men here," Miroku said, appearing near the dog demon and patting him on the shoulder. Inuyasha's face grew even deeper red. He laughed nervously.
"I don't know what your talking about but I have absolutely no feelings whatsoever for that stupid girl!" Inuyasha said, getting louder as he went.
"SIT!!!!"
"Nicely put... Kagome," Shippou said, stopping his whistle to watch the comedy at hand.
Inuyasha fell flat on his face, followed by a huffing Kagome climbing up out of the well. Miroku offered her a hand and then dragged up her backpack behind her. After some struggling, he managed to get it out of the well and on to the wooden ledge.
"My, Lady Kagome, what have you packed in here?"
"Oh, just a few things. A change of clothes or two, some food for lunch..." Kagome replied walking over to where Shippou sat. Inuyasha got up from the ground and sat beneath the backpack.
"Inuyasha, I wouldn't sit there if I was..."
The backpack landed hard on his head. He fell over, his eyes swirly.
"...you," Kagome finished with a cring.
