Chapter 1:
~~Sengoku Jidai~~
`Why can't my life be simple why do I have to go though all this…' thought Kagome as she readied herself for battle. This was the third attack they had in a week. `Why does my life have to be so difficult?' The group was walking through the southern lands of the modern Tokyo region, through forested areas they have been away from the well for about a week. `I miss my family so much, jii-chan, onii-chan, and osaka-chan… I miss them all!'
The neko youkai jumped down from the trees as InuYasha got ready to attack and Sango was positioned on top of Kirara. And Miroku was keeping his wind tunnel ready and Shippou on Kagome's shoulder as she held an arrow ready.
Soon the battle was over and another shard of the sacred Shikon no Tama was collected. They noticed it was about noon so they decided to stop for sometime to eat. Kagome got out of her backpack some ramen and made enough for the whole group. As they sat and ate they did it in most silence.
"My Lord, you fought a great fight today and received some of the shards too," complimented Myouga the flea.
"Oy Flea! Where were you?" InuYasha said with a snide, "Coward! We have no need for you to follow us if you keep running away!"
"My Lord forgive me I was only—"and with that InuYasha squashed his flea servant.
"InuYasha, you don't have to be so mean, you know!" Kagome stated.
"She is right, InuYasha-chan." Miroku complied
"Keh! What is a wench like you going to do about it?" InuYasha replied
"I don't know InuYasha-chan but maybe you should… OSWARI!" Kagome said.
*THUD*
"Hey bitch what did you—"
"OSWARI! That should teach you!" Kagome huffed got up and walked away towards the nearby river.
"Kagome come back," Sango pleaded as her friend walked off, "Don't go to far!"
~~*~~*~~
`I swear if it is not his mouth it is his attitude, it's like he has PMS or something,' Kagome giggled at this thought. Suddenly she felt a presence around her, `Damn him!' "InuYasha-chan you know I can sense your there, just come out already."
"Oh I'm not InuYasha," sounded an unfamiliar voice.
`Oh Kami, who could that be!?! It sounds like a ...girl?' Kagome quickly scoped the surrounded landscape and got a look at where the youkai stood. 'It didn't sound threatening though...' "What do you want? I am I miko, I'll shoot! " She searched the ground for her bow and arrows. 'Great! Now, I really am in trouble, I forgot them back at camp!!! I'm never gonna hear the end of this!!' "InuYa--"
Kagome was cutt off as the girl ran behind her and covered her mouth, "Please don't scream for you gumi yet!! I didn't mean to scare you!! Promise not to scream?" All the girl heard was a muffled voice, "Oh! Sorry," the female took her hands off Kagome's mouth. "I didn't mean to frighten you."
Kagome's eyes widened as the girl stepped in front of her; she looked to be from Kagome's time! She was about the same height as Kagome and her Japanese wasn't that good, she actually looked American. 'She doesn't look youkai, but I can sense the presense of youkai on her.' She had dirty blonde hair about the same length of Kagome's, long bangs that she kept brushing out of the way, and bright duel colored eyes, the outside being blue the inside amber. She wore a lavender top, jeans and sandals with sunglasses on her head and a hemp necklace, on her back there was a lavender quiver and white bow with lavender marked arrows and a rather large white quad fold backpack.
"Why don't you let me explain who I am..."
~~*~~*~~
"What's the matter InuYasha?" came the voice of a little kitsune on his head.
"None of your business brat, go away," InuYasha snorted.
"You have been acting weird since we stopped to make camp, what might it be," Miroku exclaimed.
"He's right," came Sango, "we are your allies."
"I've just smelt a youkai following us for a while now, don't know what kind though," he replied.
"What!? And you never told us?" Shippou ranted.
"Why would I? We aren't in any danger that I know of, it's off in that direction." he exclaimed pointing in the direction of the river.
"My Lord, You do realize that is the way Kagome went, right?" Myouga pointed out. InuYasha went white as he realized this and sped off after her.
"You three stay here, I'll be back with her in no time." he yelled as he departed from the group.
"Does the Lord not notice my presence?" Myouga said, noticing that he said 'you three' instead of 'you four'.
"He knows you would stay where it is safe, so he didn't need to tell you." the kitsune cub pointed out. Myouga then tear dropped at the comment.
~~*~~*~~
"You are Kagome-dono right?" as she bowed in greeting, Kagome nodded in response. "You don't mind if I show my true form do you?" Kagome nodded in compliance. "Great! It's easier to sense things in true form."
Dana proceeded to mumble an incantation "Neko youkai show yourself, Ningen miko hide your modern disguise."
And with that two cat-like ears came to the top of her head and a tail wrapped around her waist. Her hair remained dirty blonde and her ears and tail were of the same color. "By the way my name is Dana, I am from your time and followed you to the well, hope you're not mad."
"Hello… Dana-dono, but what do you mean you followed me into the well?" Kagome blurted.
"Well I saw you go in there and I followed you, I moved back here from America and I am majoring in anthropology at Tokyo University and was visiting shrines as an assignment, yours was on the list of Shinto shrines so when I saw you go into the hokura (small shrine) around the Bone Eaters' Well… I thought it was cool at first… the well I mean, but I followed you into the well after I saw you disappear, you could say some day curiosity will kill the cat on of these days! I followed your scent this far, but... um....by the way are you traveling with an inu youkai perchance?"
'Oh no InuYasha!' "Yea, umm, maybe you and I should go back to camp soon though…I dont' want my friends to worry..." Kagome finished. "But first tell me how you were able to transform like that? I didn't know Hanyou could hide there demon looks with a simple incantation."
"It really isn't that simple I had to train to do it for a long time, about two years, which may not be long for some, but it was for my grandmother, who was teaching me as I grew up. I um... am also part miko... that's why I can do it mostly..." Kagome gaped at the girl before her. "That's how I knew you were with a inu youkai mostly on my crappy ningen nose and my miko senses."Dana replied. "But didn't you want to get back to your friends?"
"Oh yea! We better hurry so they don't worry." `Oh Boy! I'm going to hear it for this one,' she giggled to herself `I hope InuYasha-chan got used to eating dirt eariler cause he might have a lot before today is finished.' Dana followed Kagome through the woods back to camp.
