))Morning at Misaki Residents((

----------------------------------------------

BOOM! BOOM! BANG!! came from the Misaki House at 7:30 am in the morning

"Nnnn..." "Huh... what in hell was that?" "Huh... it's a lil drafty in here." Said Kagome as she rolled over on her back.



As another slight gust of wind blew into her bedroom, Kagome opened her eyes with a look of shock and confusion.

"Ehehehe... no wonder it's drafty... there's a gigantic hole in the ceiling.... or... what's left of the ceiling."

Kagome rolled over to her other side and looked to see the time. As she glanced at the clock she decided to just get up and go downstairs, "There's no point in falling back to sleep now." she said to herself.

Kagome got dressed in a simple pair of blue denim shorts and a white tanktop with a little DiGi Charat character on the front of it. She then went into the bathroom that was in her room to wash her face and brush her hair and teeth.

------------------------------------------------

))Downstairs in the Living Room((

------------------------------------------------

"Miss Washuu." came Ayeka's tired and 'slightly' annoyed voice

"Yes, Miss Ayeka?"

"What crazy, odd, annoying, strange, freakishly wired experiment WERE you working on at the break of dawn that caused that obnoxious explosion that awoke me and Sasami and probably Lord Tenshi and our guest, and anyother inocent person living within 10 miles of here?! asked Ayeka sucking in a big breath at the end of that sentences

"Yes, I'd like to know to!" "Do you know how that makes me look as a host to our guest?" "She's probably upstaris right now packing to go home and tell her parents what an awful time she had here." Came Tenchi

"Hey... wait a nano second here... I was up all night last night with Nobuyuki, Lord Katsuhito, Mihoshi and Kiyone drinking sake." said Washuu "And I didn't get back till about 5 minuets ago." "I thought that explosion was from Ryoko and Ayeka fighting over you." she explained in her defence. "When Mihoshi, Kiyone, and Nobuyuki wake up and come down here they'll tell ya."

"If dad, Mihoshi, grandpa and Kiyone are up at the shrine, us three are here, and Sasami and Rio-Ohki are in the kitchen... then where is Ryoko?"

As if on que Ryoko came coughing out of Washuu's lab, covered in black.

"RYOKO!" all three of them said in a growl

"What the hell where you doing in MY lab without MY permission?!" growled Washuu

"Did you know you awoke the entire area with your stupidity?!" shouted Ayeka

"Tell us why you did that Ryoko?!" yelled Tenchi

"Uh... Ohayoo gozaimasu." said Kagome trying to be polite having noticed the little 'discussion' that those three where having

"Good morning Kagome, good morning everyone, I see your up, breakfast is almost ready in about 15 minuets." "Tenchi, can you go and get the minna from grandpa's?" "And Ayeka can you go get some carrots from the shed?" came Sasami's as always cheerful and chipper voice

"...(sigh)... Sure thing Sasami." said Tenchi walking out the door

"Okay sis." said Ayeka still trying to wake up

"Kagome, if you don't mind can you help set the table, I'd really appreciate it." asked Sasami

"Sure thing Sasami, just tell me where the plates are." she said walking off with Sasami

Ryoko tried to float away with out anyone noticing...

"And where do you think you're going my dear?" "Come with me." Washuu said floating up and pulling Ryoko by the ear.

-----------------------------------

))Shinobu's Apartment((

-----------------------------------

As Inu-Yasha slowly opened his eyes and sat up, he glanced into the kitchen to see where this certain smell was coming from. As he stood up and walked over to the kitchen entrance he sniffed the smell that was triggering his appetite and leaned against the wall to recall what had recently happened. As he did he heard her voice, "You didn't eat your dinner, you must have been really tired." "And I forgot to check your wounds from the gun as well

"Huh... oh, well I've been busy doing alot of things lately, it's rare when I can get a good night's sleep." "And don't worry the small metal things didn't go into my skin... it just phased it a little, but that'll heal over time." he said as he looked over to Shinobu.

"That's good, I was hoping that I wound't have to take you to the hospital... I could never explain a demon." Shinobu said with a small laugh "I know you have to leave today... to go and find the person you looking for, but I hope you'll at least stay for breakfast." she said as she made enough food for at least 5 or 6 people.

Inu-Yahsa didn't say anything, but his stomach did, as it let out a little growl. Inu-Yasha blushed a little bit as his stomach took over. Inu-Yasha didn't say anything, instead he just walked up and sat down at the table. It was about 5 minuets of silence untill Shinobu placed everything on the table and handed Inu-Yahsa a plate.

"So, Inu-Yasha, what is this person like that your going to find?" asked Shinobu starting a conversation

"Well, she's sortta tall, she has black hair and dark eyes, she is VERY bossy, and she can be very mean at times, she isn't a very easy person to understand." "But, I guess she CAN be nice, and she is SORTTA pretty, and she is a very friendly person, well atleast to Miroku and Shiipo and Sango and Kylala and practically any other person but me." "Ta tell the truth... I don't really know why I like her, in a way she reminds me of things I'd like to forget, and at the same time things I'd like to try and remember." said Inu-Yasha between mouthfulls of food

"So I guess this person is a she, and obviously she must be important to you?" she asked while politely eating and chewing her food.

"Yeah, her name is Kagome, and well... she is 'important' in a few ways."

"Did you say Kagome?" piped Shinobu

"Yeah, her name is Kagome Higarashi." he said still scarffing his food down at Goku-paced speed(^^V)"Why you know her?"

-------------------------

))Washuu's Lab((

-------------------------

"Ryoko, why were you in my lab?" "You know that you are NOT aloud to be in my lab." "This is a serious matter, I have things in here that if they were set free could reak havoc in all dimensions!"

"I... I... I'm sorry."

"Look at this mess, it's a good thing I have a boot disk for all this or else you'd be in big trouble Ryoko."

"I said... I'm sorry."

"But still even though I ha......" "Ryoko?" "Did... you say sorry...?"

"Dammit Washuu!" "Yes I did now don't get all stupid over it!"

"I'm not, it's just that... I don't think I've ever heard you say that before." "But still, why where you in my lab?"

"Because, Washuu... I'm not going to pretend, you know how I feel about Tenchi, and I love him very much, but it's just that I don't think he notices me." "With all the other women, plus KAGOME..." "I came into your lab cause... I wanted to barrow this."

Ryoko held up 2 small disk labled: 'How to Live Like An Earth Woman in 2 Months' and 'How to Get Your Crush's Attention'. Ryoko was sort of embarresed to show them to Washuu, fearing that she'd just fall on the floor and laugh.

"Ryoko..."

"But I accedentally tripped on 'some...thing' and I lost my balance and as I went to catch my balance my hand landed on a button and I guess thats what triggered the explosion."

"Ryoko, ya know... all ya had ta do was ask."

"But... you KNOW if I had asked you, you would have laughed."

"Your right I would have." "But then I would have helped you find it without causing this explosion."

"Yeah, well breakfast is probably about done... so, I'll just get..."

Once again Ryoko tried to phase out and was stopped by Washuu grabbing her ear.

"And where do you think you going?" "As I was saying before, I may have a boot disk for all the information to everythings lost, but that doesn't clean up all this mess." said Washuu as she pointed to all the black marks and debris from the computers and miscelanious objects that where scattered all over the black and what was soppossed to be cherry oak floor.

"So... get one of your robots to help, I'm hungry."

"Trust me, I would, they'd do a better job than you'd do, but... all the maintnence robots where stored in this dimension."

"WHAAAAAAT!" shouted Ryoko as she just stood there with her mouth open

"Buuuuuuut, since I'm such a nice *mommy* I'll let you eat first then you can come back here and help me clean up you mess." said Washuu in a cute little voice

"Really, busy moms like me shoudn't have to clean up after their childeren when they can do it themselves... well if I don't win the parent of the year award... then thank God... last thing I need is to be known as the cosmos greatest mom....." trailed off Washuu as she left to go eat breakfast.

Ryoko just shook herself and blinked... "Did, I really say sorry... did I even have that conversation with Washuu... tch, like I'm really gonna help clean all this up, she can go and find herself a good samaritan, I'm starved!" said Ryoko as she phased out into the dining area.

-----------------------------------

))Shinobu's Apartment((

-----------------------------------

"Yes actually I do know Kagome, I used to go to her school 2 years before I left for college." "She and I met on the campus grounds the day school started, when they were having school gathering." "We bacame close friends and we would hang out all the time." "But now... I rarely see her, because... she's been so sick." "Everytime I call to see if she's okay, she always develops some new, deadly, contagous sickness... and I can't see her." said Shinobu worrying about Kagome.

"Don't worry about her... she's as healty as ever, her stupid grandpa just makes those up as excuses." "The truth is... she's with me in my time helping me find the shards of this." said Inu-Yasha trying to comfort her by showing her, his shards of the Shikon Jewel

"What do you mean 'your time'?" "And why is this 'Shikon' Jewel so important?"

"Well it's a looong story, but it all started when a priestess named Kikyo and I were decieved by a demon named Naraku." "You see Kikyo and I fell in love, dispite the fact she was a priestess and I a demon." "Well Naraku fooled Kikyo into thinking he was me and he attacked her." "Later he fooled me into thinking he was really Kikyo and attacked me." "Once that was settled he dissapeared leaving us to fight eachother." "I was furious thinking that Kikyo attacked me, so for revenge I attacked her villiage and stole the Shikon Jewel, but with the remaning strength she had left she shot a sacred arrow at me pinning me to a tree, where I lie sleeping for many years." "Well after years of sleep pinned to a tree, Kagome, had pulled the arrow freeing me from my unconcious prison... and that's how I'm here today." "This Jewel is special though, it allows it's holder to cross between this time and the Feudal Era even he or she posses just one shard." finished Inu-Yahsa trying to act smart

"Wooooow... this is like some really wigged out dream." "So your saying my friend Kagome really travels between two different times pairing with a demon to search for powerful jewel shards!"

said Shinobu with pure amazment

"Well, it's not just us two, it's also a perverted monk, an annoying little fox demon, and a bossy demon exteriminator." "And what's worse they want to use my power to gain their own fragments of the the shard for their own perpose." said Inu-Yasha sounding used

".....Kagome always did know how to pick the weird ones." "So, you're here because you're trying to find Kagome I presume?"

"Yes, she said she had an important meeting to attend in this time." "But I doubt that, it's probobly a weak boy isn't it?"

"Actually, no she does have an importan meeting to go to, her grandfather had to send her to visit her Great Uncle Katsuhito." "He to owns a shrine." said Shinobu in Kagome's defence

"Do you know where this shrine is?"

"Yes, Kagome and I spent two summers ago up there with her second cousin Tenchi."

"Who the hell is Tenchi?"

"Hehehe, I just said he was her second cousin, but mostly by marriage."

"Shinobu... would you take me to where Kagome is?"

"Inu-Yasha... I don't know, just dropping in like this... it seems, rude and well it's a long ways away... from one end of Tokyo to the other end of Okayama."

"So... I can get us there in a few hours." "And I don't care if they know where coming or not."

"Will you help me or not?"

"...Inu-Yasha... I guess so." "I don't want to see you on the 10:00 news causing a comotion."

"Aha alright!"

------------------------

))Feudal Japan((

------------------------

"Miroku when do you soppose they'll be back?" asked Shiipo

"I'm not sure, but I'm really worried about Inu-Yasha, he's been gone for almost a day."

"Don't worry I'm sure he's just with Kagome." said Sango trying to cheer them up

"How about we go to Kagome's time and see where they are!" exclaimed Shiipo

"You know, that's not a bad idea! as long as we don't get in trouble then we'd be fine!" said Sango agreeing with Shiipo

"I don't think that would be such a good idea, we woudn't know where we were going let alone know where we are, and not to mention we're from the past... existing in the future might disturb the balance of time causing everything to go out of order." said Miroku, slowly bringing the hopes of Shiipo and Sango low

"Yeah, your right." said Shiipo frowing

"Not really... Kagome let me borrow her map of her home land, and she also let me borrow one of her 'mag-a-zines' with all the lates 'trends' of her era!" "All we have to do is get someone in Kiade's villiage to sew us up some outfits and there we go!" piped up Sango

"Heeey, that sound cool!" "Now I can finally see what a car is!"said Shiipo

"You didn't hear what I said about the time flow did you?"said Miroko in a calm, yet annoyed voice.

"Nope." said Shiipo plainly

"Relax Miroku, if Kagome and Inu-Yasha can travel between time and nothing happens, then why can't we?" said Sango in a positive tone

"...." Miroku said nothing

Miroku then stood up and started packing everyting of his up and slung it around his shoulder. Sango and Shiipo looked at Miroku as if he were possese untill, "All right, lets go to the future!"

Sango and Shiipo jumped up and smiled. They too packed everyting up and started walking towards the villiage.

-------------------------------

))Misaki Residence((

-------------------------------

"Sasami, I'm all done setting the table, do you need help with anything else?"

"Nope, I've got it from here, just go sit down cause the others will be coming in about 2 minuets and... 30 seconds, so just be patient."

"Oh, okay, if ya say so."

Just as Sasami said, 2 minuets and 30 seconds later Tenchi came through the door with a groggy and tired Mihoshi, Kiyone, Grandpa and Nobuyuki, out of no where came Ryoko and Washuu came from the 'closet', and a dazed Ayeka had come in from the kitchen with a small basket of carrots for Rio-Ohkie. They all sat down and started a small converstaion untill Sasami had rolled out the cart of food and placed it all on the table.

"Wow, Sasami not only are you a great cook, but your also very precise." said Kagome as she started at her food

"Well thanks, it's something you gain from experience and time."

As everyone started eating, with the occasional glarring match between Ayeka and Ryoko every few minuets and loud outbursts from Mihoshi, Kagome noticed a few odd things.

'Did Ryoko just come from no where?' '...And wasn't there a big hole in the roof ealier?'

'...And what is the weird mark on Sasami's head?' 'Tenchi, is their something your not telling me?' 'Well he did tell me they where a wierd bunch, but I didn't think THIS wierd.' 'Well then again, I didn't exactly tell him about MY friends all the way now did I?'

"Are you okay Kagome?" asked Kiyone

"Huh, oh yeah, I was just thinking about you things... I mean... the things, I mean..." Kagome said as she blushed

"Um... I mean, I was just thinking about...." Kagome thought of something to say quickly...

"Sasami, where did you get that mark on your head from, that's what I was thinking." "And... I'm sorry, I shoudn't be asking something like that..." Kagome felt stupid, 'Why did I say that... is she going to hate me now... great, just when I make a new friend....'

"Oh, you mean my this mark?" said Sasami as she pointed to it

"Yeah that one, and I am really sorry."

"Oh no, it's okay, I know it's not a normal thing." said Sasami trying to calm Kagome down

"This is the Mark of Jurai." said Sasami

"Mark of Jurai?" questioned Kagome

'Oh no!' 'I didn't tell Kagome that they where all from space, I just said that they were from another country!' mentally screamed Tenchi

"Yeah, it's a..."

"It's a new fad." quickly said Ayeka

"A new fad?" asked Kagome

"Yeah, from... Australlia." said Tenchi to back up Ayeka

Sasami looked confused, but then realized that Tenchi didn't want Kagome to know that they were 'different' in that kind of way, so she just nodded and agreed with Ayeka and Tenchi.

"Sasami is Australlian?" "But she doesn't have that accent."

"Well you see, everyone here is an exchange student." "Remember what I told you yesterday?"

Tenchi said trying to pull it off

"But I thought you said that they were your relatives on your fathers side?" Kagome said sort of confused

"Well... you see...." Tenchi was at loss of words

"Well you see, we are his relatives, I'm his second cousin from America, and Washuu is my adopted mother wich make her his great aunt." "Ayeka and Sasami who are sisters are his cousins from Australlia and Mihoshi is from Brazil, and Kiyone is from England and those two are his second cousins also." "But you see, we were all born in Japan, but at a very, very young age... probably before we were 1 or 2 we moved out of Japan for personal reasons... so now we've come to Japan as exchange students and our favorite cousin has such a big heart that he invited us all to stay at his place." "And also Rio-Ohkie is my cat, when she was born some cruel harted scientist inject rabbit DNA into her... and my mom who is a scientist also stole her from the lab and gave her to me..." "There is that clear enough for you?" said Ryoko to cover everything up.

"Yeah, I get it now... I've never really been out of Japan, so I guess I'm not into the other cultures and their fads and trends." said Kagome now understanding almost everything

"Well is everyone done with breakfast?" asked Sasami

Everyone said yes and slowly got up to do what they had planned for the day. Of course Tenchi, Kagome, Sasami, and Kiyone where the only ones who stayed to clean up the mess. Ryoko had phased outside when no body was looking to a tree, she then sat on a brach and put the disk into the cd player she found in Tenchi's room and clicked the on button. Ayeka had went into the living room to watch her soap operas and after they where over read her book in the onsen. Mihosi did as always, went to her favorite part of the deck outside and took a nap under the sun. Washuu had returned to her lab to fix it up, even though she knew where Ryoko was, she decided to just leave her where she was, she would only get done faster and more efficient without Ryoko's help.

-----------------------------------

))Shinobu's Apartment((

-----------------------------------

"Inu-Yasha just let me get some stuff and put enough food down for Nyanko... how long do you think we'll... I'll be gone from home?"

"I don't know, why don't you just bring her?"

"Well I don't want her getting lost."

"Don't worry she won't get lost, I'll make sure she won't." "Now lets hurry!"

"Okay lets go... um Inu-Yasha, you don't plan on jumping the whole way do you?"

"Yes of course!" "I won't ride in one of those boxs with wheels that's for damn sure."

"Oh, okay if you insist."

Inu-Yasha walked out on the ledge and waited for Shinobu to get Nyanko. When she came back he noticed how Nyanko was in a little box.

"What is that poor cat encaged in?" Inu-Yasha said with sympathy for the cat

"It's so she won't jump off whil you're jumping from place to place, but don't worry, she's fine she dosen't mind it."

"That looks like it's boring being caged up, she's a wild animal and they should be free." "But I guess your right, it would be safer for her to be in that cage."

Shinobu put her bookbag on and climed on Inu-Yasha's back, she then grabbed the cage with Nyanko and put it between her chest and his back.

"Ya ready!?" he said boldly

"Hai!" she said in return
