Chapter Four- Not AGAIN!!

Disclaimer- I wish I owned Slayers and Inu-Yasha. sigh

Sota looked out the window and sighed. It had been days since Kagome had been home from the other world. He hoped his big sis was okay. He walked outside and started playing with Buyo near the mini-shrine. The scent of incense floated from the small building.

"Hey, Buyo," Sota tried to fill up the lonely silence. "Why does Grampa always do that phony 'Get-Out-of-the-Well' Chant? It's never worked, and he always ends up splashing her with that rice wine stuff."

Buyo merely meowed and rolled over.

Sota got up to go back inside, when an unfamiliar voice came from the mini- shrine.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT AGAIN! AUGH! WHAT IS THIS STUFF!? WHY ME?! WHY? WHY?! WHYYYYYYYYYYY!?!!"

Kagome's Grandfather came shooting out of the well house and ran into the house screaming something about fiery demons not liking ceremonial sake and preparing to take over the world with their evil black headbands. Sota just stared.

"Okay then." he said, sweatdropping.

Quietly tiptoeing into the mini-shrine, Sota peered around the door. From inside came more voices.

"AUGH! THIS REALLY SUCKS! WHERE ARE WE THIS TIME?!" The voice from earlier still seemed to be really upset about something.

"Lina! Please calm down! I know where we are! It's okay!"

Sota started. That was Kagome's voice!

Running to the edge of the well he looked in.

"Sis, is that really you?"

Kagome looked up to see her little brother.

"Hey, Sota! Sorry it took me so long to get back!"

"Oh, that's okay.Hey, Inu-Yasha, Shippo! Um. who're they?" Sota stared at the other five people with her sister.

"Them? Oh, they're--"

"HI!" The tall blond guy with a big sword cut her off cheerfully. "I'm Gourry, that's Lina, that's Amelia, that's Zelgadis, he's a chimera, but we usually call him Zel, and that's Xelloss, he's a mazoku, but he's usually okay, even if he does say 'that's a secret' a lot and it gets kind of annoying.what's your name?" Here Gourry had to sit down and catch his breath.

"Um.hi. I'm Sota. Er.nice to meet you." Sota began wondering if the phone book had the number for the nearest mental institution.

"Nice to meet you too," Gourry replied. "I'm Gourry, that's LinOWCH!"

"JELLYFISH BRAINS!" Lina yelled at Gourry who was currently half-conscious on the well floor. "YOU JUST SAID THAT!! CAN'T YOU EVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT?"

Gourry's only response was, "hi, cute 'lil birdies, how are you today?"

Kagome turned back to her little brother.

"Sota, d'you think you could go get us a ladder? I don't think we should stay here all night."

Lina stepped forward with a superior smile. "No, that's okay. Hey, Sota? Just forget that ladder, okay? We'll be fine on our own!"

"But." Kagome began, then stopped as Lina glowed gold.

"LEVITATION!"

Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and Shippo stared as Lina grabbed Gourry, who was still enjoying the little birdies, and flew out of the well, Zel and Amelia behind her. Next to her, Xelloss suddenly disappeared and reappeared outside of the well.

"Wierdos," Inu-Yasha proclaimed after a moment. "C'mon Kagome."

Kagome jumped onto Inu-Yasha piggy-back style as the half demon leapt out of the well, Shippo close behind.

Sota pulled himself back together.

"Kagome, we should probably go see Gramps. he's a bit--"

"HA!" the aforementioned geezer yelled, springing into the min-shrine. "Take THIS, foul DEMONS!" He began throwing seals all over the room, in his attempt to exorcize the "evil creatures from beyond." Inu-Yasha caught one in the face. Pulling it off, he examined it.

"What the hell are all these scribbles about?!"

Kagome's Grandfather fell into a state of shock.

"My.my scrolls did not work on the demons?!"

"As always," Sota muttered.

"Nooooooo!" the old priest wannabe began his ritual "Home-Alone-Face-With-A- Lot-Of-Waterworks" because his seals once again didn't work.

"Okay, let's go see my mom," Kagome said cheerfully.

Amelia looked doubtful.

"But. Miss Kagome, shouldn't we make sure that.um.. Mr. Priest-Person-Who- Can't-Get-His-Seals-To-Work is okay first?"

"Naw, this is normal for him. Let's go." Kagome led the others to her house.

"Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

Authors Note-

To anyone who was looking forward to the Inu-Yasha cast in the Slayers world, I send my apologies. Still, do not abandon poor 'lil me. who says they're not ever going to end up there? Heh heh heh. I really thank everyone who has given me ideas so far. I'm going to try to fit as many of them in as I can. I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can figure out what happens and get it typed! Merry Christmas folks! Enjoy your holidays!

PS- HEE HEEE! I'm soooo happy! I got Slayers The Motion Picture from my uncle for Christmas! The strange thing is, he has no idea what series I like, just that I love Anime, but he randomly gets my favorite series. hmmm.. Telepathic uncle. COOL! -Reina-Chan ^-^
