The next morning Kit awoke remembering the day before. She slowly stood up from her bed and began to climb down the stairs when she realized her parents weren't home. Kit called out a couple of times, but soon decided to go on with her day and ask them about it later.

She showered and had a fruit bar for breakfast. Kit looked at herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth and noticed the tips of her hair was still red. For the first time she realized that her hair had changed color too, something that had never happened before.

The more she stared at it the quicker it turned purple. Kit returned to her morning habits and started her way to the bus stop.

It didn't take long to get there and Mal had come back.

"Hey Mal! I'm so glad to see you."

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"Why are you so glad to see me?"

"You're my best friend, why wouldn't I be glad to see you?"

"Oh I don't know."

Mal gave Kit a cold glare and walked over to Norma and Scot and began conversing with them.

Kit shrugged and watched for the bus. It turned the corner and pulled up, as usual she was the first on the bus. She noticed the driver was gone but in his place was a kind old grandmother person.

"Good morning ma'am."

"Don't ma'am me, just call me Grams."

"O.K."

Kit took her usual seat behind the driver and waited for Mal to join her. Kit waited and waited and finally Grams yelled to the people still on the curb;

"Get on now or you'll be walking!"

They rushed on, but no one seemed to look at her. Mal walked to the back with Norma and Scott. When she glanced back at the three Norma merely gave her a smug grin.

"Don't worry Kit thing's will be ok."

"Umm, Grams, how'd you know my name?"

Realizing she had said her name without having Kit introduced to her, she searched her old brain for how, and quickly something was found.

"It's on the name list up here of who rides the bus."

"Oh….okay."

Kit still found it odd but forgot about it quickly. As the bus turned into the school drive she gathered up her things. As she stood Mal walked by knocking her down. As Kit tried again the same was done to her by Norma, and Scott.

"What the heck is going on here?"

"Who knows Kit, you should ask Jacob tonight on the computer." Grams replied.

Kit caught the name Grams had mentioned and her head flung in her direction and her eyes widened with amazement.

"what'd you say?!"

"Shoot! Nothing better hurry up or else you'll be late for school!"

Grams shoved Kit off the bus and closed the doors moving on to the next school to drop off the rest of the bus. Kit thought about what Grams had said and tried to reassure herself that she had not said Jacob. But no matter what she knew what Grams had said, and was extremely confused about the whole subject.

Kit made her way to the large school, that for some reason today seemed even larger then usual. She paid no attention to the people walking by and was surprised when she heard someone talking to her.

"Hey Kit, how ya been?" When Kit turned she saw Todd looking at her a bright smile a crossed his face.

"Oh, umm fine."

"Are you sure? You don't look fine. I mean, well…"

"It's ok, my day's just a bit weird so far."

The two chattered all the way to the first hallway of the school where big glass cases of trophies lined the walls.

"So Kit, wanna be my Lab partner today?"

"Umm, sure that'd be cool!"

"Great see ya."

Todd went his way but turned and waved to her. Kit went hers and waved back to him. She quickly went to her locker where she found a note that read;

"BETRAYER! WHY YOU DID THIS I DON'T KNOW, BUT MY HATE FOR YOU IS GONNA SHOW!"

No name was on the note and Kit was frightened for a while, not sure of who could have done this, or why. She tried to forget it but as she walked to her first hour class the message would not leave her mind, it was all she could think of.

When she got to her first hour-Math- Kit took her usual seat next to Mal. Mal turned to her quickly a sharp glare upon her face.

"What do you want?"

"To talk, you'll never believe this note that was -"

"I know Kit, now get out of Norma's seat!"

Kit left and went to the back of the room. The math teacher was shocked to see a usually excellent student sitting all the way back there but figured it'd be fine. But when she didn't answers any of the question, or even try, he became terribly worried.

"Kit, would you see me after class?"

"Yes Mr. Lambert."

He continued with his lesson and occasionally glanced back to Kit. What seemed to be an eternity-and was really 45 min.- the class ended and Kit approached his desk.

"Yes Mr. Lambert?"

"Kit, you didn't seem your usual self today. Is anything wrong?"

"Kinda, nothing major."

"Okay but I'm gonna ask your other teachers how you did today and if the say you seemed down, I think you should see the counselor."

"Yes, Mr. Lambert."

Kit didn't take it as a threat, she didn't take it as a warning, actually half the time she didn't pay attention. She walked to her next class; Science. When she remembered that Todd would be her partner, and that Mal wasn't in that class, she began to feel a lot better.

She entered the room, and made her way to the table Todd sat in.

"Ello, there Kit."

"Hey Todd."

"So has your day gotten any better?"

"No not really, if anything it's way worse."

"That's to bad."

"Tell me about it."

Todd looked at her confused now.

"I can't tell you about it it's your day."

"It's an expression?"

"Oh, yeah right."

Todd turned as did Kit and soon Ms. Keylonky came in.

"Good morning student, Have you found your partners yet?"

"yes!" The entire class yelled back at her.

"Good, then just turn to page 96, and begin the activity. You all should know where everything is."

Kit turned the page, Todd got the supplies, and they began to get started.

"So why has your day gotten worse?"

"My best friend Mal won't talk to me, and she's hanging out with Norma and Scott."

"That's a bummer."

"I know."

The class continued, as did their conversing. Kit was pleased to see Todd agreed with her that Mal was acting funny. Ms. Keylonky checked her mail and get the message from Mr. Lambert and she too began to watch Kit carefully, but replied she seemed normal.

The class was quickly over and they picked up. Kit gathered her things and said good- bye to Todd. She walked quickly to History where Mrs. Noble was reading her e-mail.

Kit sat down in her seat far away from Mal. But not clear in the back like in math. Her day had turned around in Science and she wanted it to stay that way. But when she could hear Norma, Scott and Mal talking about her, and from the sounds of it not nicely her day slumped back to the dumps.

"Okay class get out your free reading books, today all you have to do is read. You can work on homework if you have any yet."

Kit got her book out and began to read. This was the best class to her, all she had to do was read, and the teacher's test were always easy enough you could sleep in her class and still get an A on everything.

Mrs. Noble watched Kit carefully, looking for anything unusual in her behavior, but the only thing strange she could find was the fact that she and Mal were not sitting together. She reported this to Mr. Lambert and the class continued on.

Kit's classes continued much like these, though she didn't have anymore with Todd the classes seemed to be okay. She had forgotten about what Mr. Lambert had said and continued on.

Soon the day was done and Todd approached her.

"So Kit want another ride today?"

"Sure."

She walked to his car where he opened the passenger door for her. He then went to his side, got in and started the car. As they drove down the street they talked about her day, if it got better, if it got worse. And their conversation continued all the way to her house.

"Well Kit, sorry you had a bad day. Want me to pick you up in the morning?"

"Umm, I don't think that'd be bad so sure."

"Okay then, see round 7:30 on Monday."

"Okay, bye!"

Kit waved as he drove off. She entered her house and remembered her parents hadn't been there this morning, and was shocked to see they still weren't there. She ran up the stairs and got on the computer.

Jake was already on an ready to chat.

"So Kit it's Friday, wanna spend the night at your parents?"

"Well I'd have to check with my parents here, but they haven't been home all day."

"That's strange, think I could come over?"

"I think that'd be okay, I don't like being here alone."

"Okay be there in a minute."

He signed off and Kit did the same, she went downstairs and got some snacks ready for them to munch on. It wasn't long before she saw him coming from the shrine to the door. She went to the door and opened it right as he was about to knock.

"Ello Kit."

"Hey Jacob."

"Got any munchies? I'm starving?"

"Yeah, I've got plenty."

Jake had looked around her and saw the snacks, his ears twitched and turned as he listened to all the sounds and sniffed out the house.

"HHmmm, you got a ride home today from a guy at school."

"How'd you know?"

"I could smell him on your cloths. You shouldn't sit so close to him."

"Why? I kinda like Todd."

"He's not that smart from the smell of his, and I don't think he's a nice guy.'

"That's your opinion. Anywho let's eat okay?"

"Okay."

Jake and Kit got the tray of food and sat on the couch. They watched a few movies and before long it was eight o'clock.

"Well Kit your parents still aren't home. And I shouldn't spend the night-"

"Why not?"

"What would happen if you parents came home and they found a boy on their couch with dog ears?"

"Good point."

"Do you think you can handle being here alone?"

"No, I think I'll leave a note and spend the night at my other parents house."

"Sounds good to me."

He walked away to the door as she wrote the note. When she finished he opened the door for her and they walked back to the shrine where they both jumped in the well.

For the second time in 48 hours bright colors flashed before her and a strange feeling overcame her. Soon their feet where firmly planted on the ground of the bone eaters well.

"Hold my hand."

"Jake I thought I told you-"

"No, I would like that but I'm gonna jump us out of here."

"Oh, okay."

Kit grabbed his hand and he jumped from the bottom of the well to the surface.

"Remember the way?"

"Not really."

"That's fine, you can get on my back and I'll jump there if you like?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yep, just get on."

"Okay"

She got on and he started to jump from here to there and actually not very far and they were in the yard of her parents house.

"Okay, down you go."

"Thanks Jake."

Just then she remembered Grams

"Jake do you know an old woman named Grams?"

"Yeah, why? Oh, she let it slip didn't she?"

"what do you mean?"

"She was sent to make sure you'd be okay. Demons and half demons here think your world, your time is dangerous and unfit for living."

"Oh, well then yeah she let it slip."

"Oh, well."

The two walked up to the cottage. Jacob again opened the door for her. Her parents Akiro, and Ayame where sitting at the table, with none other then Grams.

"Well ello there again Kit!"

"Grams?!"

"Yep, I'm your granma. Sad to Say you granpa didn't come."

"I thought he was dead?"

"Nope, still beating up the little whelp Shippou and his kids." Everyone but Kit bow and shake their heads

"So Inu-Yasha's still alive?"

"That's' what I said."

"Wow."

"Yep, you have a long life span to enjoy Kit."

"Cool. Oh yeah, can I spend the night?"

"Sure dear, we have a room just for you. And Jacob sleeps just a crossed the hall."

"He lives here?!"

"Yeah, I do. My parents don't like me talking to your family so they gave me the boot."

"Wow."

Just then Kit remembered she didn't have any clothes or brush or anything!

"Oh my gosh!"

"What?"

"I left my cloths and everything at my other house!"

"It's ok Kit I'll go get it."

Before she could stop him he had left her alone.

"Come Kit sit down, tell us about how your life has been. We want to know everything."

So Kit began telling her the major things she could remember.

On the other side of The Well Jacob walked to her front door. No one was home and he just let himself in. We wondered up to her room and gathered a ton of things from cloths to makeup to toiletries-just in case-. He put them all into a big green garbage bag that he slung over his shoulder.

Hunched over he walked down the stairs and just as he was about to leave the door bell rang. He looked out and it was Todd. Not thinking Jake opened the door.

"Yes, may I help you?"

Shocked to see a guy there with dog ears like Kit Todd stumbled backward.

"Oh, it's you Todd."

"How do you know who I am?"

"By your smell of course, it was all over Kit earlier."

"Were you sniffing Kit?"

"I guess you could say that?"

"Stay away from Kit!"

"Why? She's not your girlfriend?"

"Because, I want her. Plus I'm the hottest guy in a school and chicks always go for looks."

"Really?"

Jake stood puzzled for a minute thinking.

"Do you live here dog boy?"

"No, just getting Kit's things that's all."

For the first time Todd noticed the big bag on Jakes back.

"You're a burglar who likes Kit aren't you?!"

"No, I'm a friend, and she sent me here to get her things for her while she spend the weekend with her parents."

"This is her parents house, what do you mean?"

"Oh, she'll have to explain, it's none of my business."

"What you mean?"

"I mean it's not my place to tell you. Now if you'd excuse me-"

"No, we fight here for Kit."

"You're kidding?"

"No, now fight!"

"Or not, I don't like violence."

Jacob bent down then sprang high above Todd's head and right to the other side of him.

"Wow! What are you?! WHO are you?!"

"I'm a dog demon, and my name's Jacob."

"A demon!"

"Yep, now I must go, bye."

Jacob walked away but knew Todd was running close behind him. So Jake took to jumping and jumped into the air and in one leap landed next to the shrine.

"Nice talking to you Todd!"

He ran inside and jumped down the well. As Todd entered into the Shrine he saw Jacob was gone.

"He must've jumped in the well. In that case there's no hiding demon boy, I'm coming after you!"

Todd jumped into the well and quickly became terrified……
