A/N: Well I decided to continue my story anyways because I feel like typing. I don't really have anything else to say except the disclaimer...ahem...I don't own it. Oh yeah...does anyone know what Kaede's village's name is? Thanks to the pplz who reviewed. ^_^

Chapter 2 Welcome to 500 years in the past!

Bright. The sun was out. And there was grass. Huh? This doesn't sound like home? Kira opened her eyes. "Where in the world...?" her sentence was cut short. A large green monster with several big eyes and a giant club was approaching. "O...o...ONNIIII!!!!!" screamed Kira. "You have a shard of the sacred jewel. Hand it over and you will not be harmed as badly as you would've," growled the monster. *sweatdrop T.T;;* "Feh...I hate you peoples that make death threats. It makes you sooo much less scary," grumbled Kira. The oni raised its club. "Ahhh...I take that back!!!" yelled Kira. It was gone. The world was speeding by. "Aaauugghhh!!! I'm gonna die from the dizziness...@_@," gasped Kira. "Well you better stay alive. I don't want a dead body on my hands," said a mocking voice. Kira realized that she was being dragged at a rate so fast that she didn't touch the ground. And who was dragging her? "I feel sick..."

Aaahhh...it was warm. Wait! Wasn't she just being dragged? Kira sat up. "You're awake," said a voice. She looked around. A girl who looked five or six years older than her was tending a fire. She wore...OLD clothes??? They were white and red like the ones that mikos used to wear. "Aaarrgghhh!!!" growled Kira pulling her hair. "Hey stop!!" cried the girl. "You'll hurt yourself!" Huh? "...eh...sorry," said Kira. "It's alright! By the way, what's your name?" asked the girl. "Oh...I'm Kira," replied Kira. "Hi! My name's Kiki. I'm the miko in the village." Miko? Village? "Well...erm...where am I?" asked Kira. "Oh...you're." she trailed off. "What!?" said Kira. "Well the miko before me, Kaede-baba, she told me about another girl who wore an outfit just like yours and she came here through a well. Did you come like that?" asked Kiki. "Yeah," answered Kira, wonder who that could have been. "Well that happened twenty years ago. She had a mission and it's linked with that shard you have around your neck. "Huh?" "Well everyone in the village thinks that you've come through time like the other girl." "Eh...now I'm confused...by the way," said Kira. "How'd I get here?" Kiki grinned. "Look outside. He should be sitting under a tree by the river. Don't wander off!" said Kiki.

Kira walked outside. She could see men farming and children playing games. I never thought the past looked like this, thought Kira. She walked around and came upon the river and the giant tree. A boy was sitting underneath in the shade. ...or was it a boy? Large, pointy ears that were light brown stuck out from the reddish-brown hair. He also had...a tail? The ears wiggled slightly. He turned to look at Kira. "Hi," says the "boy." " Hi! Erm...so...who and WHAT are you?" asks Kira. "Oh...I'm a... normal person...heh..."Normal? Kira glanced up at the ears again but they weren't there! Instead, his ears were like a normal human being's and the tail was out of site. " But...but...weren't your ears just up at the top of your head?" stammered Kira. " Awwww damn! Ya caught me! *his abnormal ears and tail pop back out* But it's impossible for a human to sneak up on me unless..." Kira cocked her head to the side. " Unless what?" she asked. The boy hesitated a bit. " Unless what?" repeated Kira. " Unless they're not human..." Kira was surprised. Finding out about your-self already, eh? said a voice inside her. " How can you be so sure that I'm not human?" demanded Kira. " There are probably a lot of people that can sneak up on you!" " erm...not really. But to prove a little that you're not human, you don't got teeth but fangs like me."

"W-WHAT!!! How can you tell???" "They're too white! Human teeth are more colored!" "SO!!! Does that really prove something!!!" "YES!!" "Well can you prove it another way!?" "YES!!!" "WHAT!!" "Human eyes can never be that color unless they've had it injured and tampered with." "WHAT!! What's wrong with my eyes!!! I'm not wearing colored contacts!!!" "uhh..."

They argued for a long time. The boy concluded that she had some youkai blood but was mostly human. Kiki the miko came at dusk to find Kira and the boy arguing and dragged them back. They started a conversation while they ate supper in Kiki's hut. Kira was eager to hear of the things that had happened. "Well one time, everyone was tending the farm and there was a big explosion and everyone went to look. When they come back, they saw a little rabbit youkai was stealing all the carrots that we planted. So I went after it and it tried to fight me but I pinned it to the ground before it could do anything and..." (this is the boy talking) "Ha! You just walked in front of it and picked it up and took the carrots back. It was really mean of you to chuck it into the forest!" said Kiki. "Ha ha! Oh yeah...I forgot to ask, what was your name?" Kira asked the boy. "uh...well...I...don't really have one...but everyone in the village calls me Hayai (A/N: I think that's means "fast")," replied the boy, a bit embarrassed. "Okay! I'll call you that too."

Kagome was sick to her stomach. I can't go back, she thought. If I do, then demons will once again invade the land because of the Shikon no Tama. Kira is smart. She'll find her way to Kaede-baba's hut, she convinced herself. She started to hit her head against a wall. (A/N: *sarcastically* wow. The world's coming to an end. She's killing thousands of brain cells...). Back in Sengoku Jidai... "KAGOME!!!???" cried a voice. A boy who was standing in the doorway, staring at Kira. He was really short, had a big puffy tail, and pointy elfish ears. "Oh hi Shippou-kun!" said Hayai. "What are you doing here at this time?" Kira barely heard him. This...guy...had just shouted the first name of her mother. Maybe he knew something that Kira didn't. "You're mistaken Shippou-kun. This is Kira," said Kiki calmly. Shippou asked Kira, "Do you know anyone named Kagome?" Kira nodded. "She's my mom," responded Kira. Shippou's eye's widened. Before he could say anymore, Kiki dragged him outside (A/N: she seems to like dragging people a lot...). "Don't say anymore! Go straight to Inuyasha!" said Kiki in an urgent whisper. "Alright," answered Shippou and silently crept away. "What was that all about?" asked Kira. "Oh nothing really..."answered Kiki. "I think that we should all go visit the old well, ne?" she suggested. "Okay!" said Hayai brightly. He bounced out the door and into the darkness.
