Kagome woke the next morning feeling warm and rested. She sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, then looked around her. Laying on either side of here were Shippo and Starfire. So it wasn't just a dream then. She really was stuck in another time. But at least she had found her familiar. She noticed that Inuyasha wasn't in the room. She got up carefully trying not to disturb Shippo. Starfire, who had woken just after she had, greeted her cheerfully.

"Good morning," she chirped, speaking mind to mind, so as not to wake the sleeping kitsune.

"Good morning," Kagome replied. "Any clue where dog boy went?" Starfire shook her head.

"No, but I can guess that he's out eating or something." Kaogme had been thinking the same thing.

"I guess we should just wait here then," she said. Starfire agreed and they sat talking about Kagome's past at the school for witches and wizards and about all the times she had gotten into trouble with her friends. Shippo woke while they were talking.

"G'morning Kagome, g'morning Starfire," he greeted sleepily.

"Good morning Shippo," Kagome replied smiling. "Did you sleep ok?"

"Uh huh," he said. He looked around. "Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome shrugged.

"No idea. We're waiting for him to get back."

"Hopefully he'll bring breakfast," added Starfire. "But for now why don't you sit and talk with us while we wait for him to return?"

"Ok," he replied, climbing into Kagome's lap. They didn't have long to wait. Kagome had just finished telling them about the time she and her friends had pulled a prank involving illusions of ferocious animals and flaming the ass of their least favorite teacher when he had made a nasty comment about them not having familiars. Inuyasha looked at their laughing faces curiously.

"What's so funny?," he asked. Kagome repeated the story for him. He chuckled lightly. "Well it seems like he had it coming. Here." He held out one of the containers he was carrying. "Eat up, there are some things I want to talk to you about when you're finished." Kagome accepted the container and opened it.

"Thanks," she said as he handed Shippo and Starfire the remaining containers. They settled down and ate quietly. Inuyasha watched the dragon eat with interest.

"I wasn't sure if dragons could eat eggs or not," he commented. Starfire looked up at him.

"Dragons eat lots of things," she informed him. "But our favorite foods are meat and fish." Kagome put down her bowl when she had finished and looked up at Inuyasha from her seat on the floor.

"So what did you wanna talk about?," she asked. Inuyasha looked at her and then over at Shippo.

"Hey brat get lost, I need to talk to Kagome alone," he growled. Shippo began to protest before Starfire interrupted him.

"Come on Shippo, we'll go explore the grounds while they talk." Shippo agreed reluctantly and followed Starfire out of the room. Kagome narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Inuyasha. What could he want to discuss that couldn't involve Shippo? (a/n: I know exactly what you're thinking you hentai people) Inuyasha noticed her look and rolled his eyes.

"Nothing we talk about is that brat's business," he said. "Anyway I wanted to talk to you about some personal things that probably won't interest him." He crossed his arms over his chest and waited for her to respond.

"Go ahead and ask," she told him calmly. "But if it's a question I don't think you need answered then I won't say anything." Inuyasha ignored that last comment and asked his first question.

"You talk alot about your friends," he said. "But you never mention your family. Were you disowned or something?" She thought for a moment, then decided to tell him the story.

"My parents and brother were all full fledged wizards and witches," she began, staring at the wall while she spoke. "They were part of a special combat force against dark wizards and witches. One day and evil wizard attacked and they were sent to deal with him. I wasn't allowed to help because I still wasn't a full fledged witch. They were all killed during battle. Rin, Sango, and Ayame's parents were also part of the combat force. They met the same fate as my family, along with Sango's younger brother. Finally the Elder Witch had to step in to stop the evil wizard. She used her power to seal him away, never to bother anyone again. She just didn't do it in time to save them. That was three years ago in August." She sat silently waiting for him to speak again. He had just opened his mouth when Sesshomaru opened the door and walked into Inuyasha's room. Kagome's eyes flashed in anger at seeing her former captor. Inuyasha looked at his brother in annoyance.

"What do you want Sesshomaru?," He asked. Sesshomaru looked at him, completely ignoring Kagome.

"I came to see if you had decided to keep the girl," he said. "I see you have." Kagome glared at him, and was seriously considering setting his fluffy thing on fire when a young girl stuck her head in the door. She had long black hair with a short side ponytail and chocolate brown eyes.

"Hey Sesshomaru, that creepy toad Jaken sent me to tell you..." She trailed off when she saw Kagome. Her eyes widened in shock as did Kagome's. "Kagome? Is that really you Kagome?"

"Rin?," was the stunned reply. "Rin what the hell are you doing here?" Rin ran over to Kagome and hugged her happily.

"Oh wow, I never thought I'd see any of you again!," she exclaimed. Then she pulled away noticing Inuyasha. "Let me guess, you got separated from the others..."

"And fell down a hole," continued Kagome.

"And was caught by a demon and made into a slave," finished Rin.

"That's about right," said Kagome grinning. Rin looked thoughtful.

"I wonder if the others-," before she could finish her thought there was a loud screech heard from somewhere outside.

"TAKE THIS YOU HENTAI!" Rin and Kagome stared at each other then ran into the hall following the voice. (a/n: Gee who could that have been? ^-^) Inuyasha and Sesshomaru followed curiously. They found a girl with her hair up in a high ponytail standing over a male demon who seemed to be unconscious. Kagome and Rin grinned recognizing their friend.

"Wow Sango, what did you do to the poor guy?," Kagome asked, eyes twinkling in amusement. Sango turned and saw her two friends.

"Rin? Kagome? Oh wow I can't believe it!" She ran up to hug her two friends while the two inuyoukai (spelling?) went to examine the injured demon. Then another voice spoke behind them.

"I shoulda' known you guys would end up here too. Not even space and time can keep the four of us apart for long," commented the voice.

"Ayame!," was the happy cry as the girls turned to the last of the quartet. Standing behind her was a wolf demon. He looked at the group of girls then over at the demons near them. He walked over to help Inuyasha and Sesshomaru wake the unconsious demon. Ayame looked over at the demon and shook her head.

"Damn Sango, what did you do to the guy?," she asked. Sango glared at the man as he began to stir. "Who is he anyway?"

"His name is Miroku and he deserved it," she replied contemptuously. "The fucking bastard groped me so I used my wind to slam him into the wall." Miroku was finally awake and standing. Inuyasha looked at the group of girls.

"What the hell is going on here?," he demanded turning to Kagome.

"These are my friends I mentioned before," she told him. "Rin, Sango, and Ayame," she said pointing to each girl as she said their names. "It seems they fell through that same hole in the cave sometime after I did." She grinned. "We're back together!" She turned to her friends. "Let me guess. You're stuck with those losers like I'm stuck with Inuyasha right?" She spoke in English instead of Japanese. It was more comfterble for her. They all nodded in affirmation.

"I'm stuck with Fluffy aka Sesshomaru," Rin said, also speaking in English.

"I'm stuck with the wolf demon. His name's Koga," said Ayame.

"And I'm stuck with the perv Miroku," said Sango.

"What the hell are you bitches saying?," Koga demanded to know. "I've never heard that language before." Ayame glared at him. Kagome almost felt bad for Koga. Ayame was the most aggressive of the group. Her and Sango were ten times as bitchy as Rin and Kagome could ever hope to be when they felt like it.

"It's English dumb ass," she said. "It's our native tongue and what we said is none of your business."

"But you mentioned our names," commented Miroku. "So it is our business." The girls ignored him and began to talk about other things.

"Oh hey Kagome I have your bag by the way," Sango said. "I found it in the cave before I fell through." Kagome's eyes lit up.

"You do? Great! My CD player and Kenshin manga are in there!" Her friends stared at her.

"Why did you bring a CD player and manga on a cave exploration trip?," Ayame asked. Kagome shrugged.

"I dunno, I just did," she replied. Inuyasha was getting tired of not understanding what they were saying and spoke up.

"Hey bitch quit using that weird language and speak in Japanese," he growled. "I don't trust you talking without us being able to understand." Kagome made a face at him.

"Geez there's no need to be paranoid," she said. She turned back to Sango. "Can I have my bag please?"

"Sure," she replied. She used her magic to summon the said bag into her hand and gave it to Kagome. She checked her CD's. To her relief none of them had broken.

"Good thing my CD's didn't break," she commented. "I would have gone through music withdrawal." Her friends laughed remembering Kagome's intense love for music.

"So is there anything we haven't mentioned?," asked Rin. Kagome suddenly remembered Starfire.

"Oh yeah guess what you guys," she said smiling proudly. "I finally found my familiar! Her name is Starfire and best of all she's a dragon!" Her friends congratulated her, then shocked her with news of their own.

"I've found mine as well," said Rin grinning.

"So did I," Sango and Ayame said at the same time.

"Mine's an ice otter named Riverswift," continued Rin.

"Mine's a wolf," said Ayame. 'His name is Earthsong." They all waited for Sango to say what her familiar was. She beamed with pride as she spoke.

"Mine's a griffin," she said. "Named Darkwing." Her friends gaped at her. Griffins were just as rare as dragons! Ayame looked at Sango and Kagome enviously.

"Wow, you guys must be pretty powerful to get those kinds of familiars," she said. Rin nodded in agreement.

"It makes sense though." she said thoughtfully. "They were always the most powerful out of the four of us."

"Aw come on you guys," Kagome protested. "You're just as powerful as we are." Suddenly Sesshomaru interrupted their conversation.

"As interesting as this is, didn't you have a message for me Rin?" Rin looked over at him startled.

"Oh yeah, that freaky toad servant of yours, Jaken, said that your father wanted to talk to you about something." Sesshomaru cursed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?," he demanded. She opened her mouth to reply, but he cut her off. "Never mind. Come along, you will see these other humans some other time." He swept quickly out of the hall. Rin rolled her eyes and followed, waving good bye to her friends. Koga turned to Ayame.

"We should go too," he said. "We have alot to talk about." He turned and walked off. Ayame glared at him but followed anyway.

"I'll see you guys later," she said to Sango and Kagome. In English she added, "make sure you give 'em hell girls!"

"We will," they assured her grinning at each other. Kagome looked around.

"I'd better find Starfire and Shippo," she said.

"Who's Shippo?," asked Sango curiously. Kagome sighed.

"I'll tell you later ok? I really need to find them."

"Sure, I might as well go find Darkwing too. I'll see you later then." She turned and began to walk away. Miroku followed, not knowing what else to do.

"Ciao," Kagome called waving. She turned to Inuyasha. "So why don't we go find Shippo and Starfire?"

Miroku: @_@

Varan: Sango I think you hit him a little too hard

Sango: He'll be fine. He heals quick

Varan: I hope so

Miroku: *blink blink* Where am I?

Sango: Just ignore him

Varan: Ok then see you in the next chapter?

Sango: Yep

Varan: Ok I'll see you then!

Shippo: REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
