Chapter 4~ A bewildering deal
Sango fell to her knees tears streaming down her face.
"Well, I can't explain to you… Not yet. I just-" the boy started before Sango got in his face.
"Why! Why are you showing me this! You send me back to your time to help you and you show me this! But you don't tell me a thing about it! If you don't start telling me some answers then I am leaving!" she cried out standing up.
"No wait! Umm it's just that… This might not be the best palace to tell you." he started looking around for words to explain.

Climbing out of the well Miroku hurried after the pissed off hanyou. "Inuyasha wait!" he yelled when Inuyasha began pounding on Kagome's back door.
"Kagome!" he yelled pounding on the door. The door opened quickly, but the still mad hanyou. He was about to pound on Mrs. Higurashi literally until she told him where Kagome was she asked suddenly, "Where's Kagome? She didn't tell me she was bringing you home for a visit. You know if she would spend ¾ of the time she spends in the Feudal doing her schoolwork, she'd be in excellent shape. You always have her over there and I bet not once were you intending to help her study her schoolwork. So where is she? Speak up Inuyasha, you don't have a mouth for nothing."
Inuyasha shrugged then mumbled "I don't know wench" before pushing his way into her house. "Where is she? Teach her to blow me off," he mumbled heading up to what he supposed was her room.
"Uh uh, Inuyasha, get your butt back here!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled. Suddenly a muffled but still audible to Inuyasha's ears "sit" was heard. Inuyasha flew to the ground mumbling, and groaning in pain. "That stupid bitch!" he yelled into the carpet. Walking up to the half-demon she grabbed his ear while he was still pressed to the ground.
"Is that how you talk to my daughter? If you continue to talk like that then you will be forbidden to talk to or see her again. I don't see why she hangs around a troublemaker like you. But she does. I will just have to teach you a lesson, I'll guess I'll wash you mouth out with soap. You will show reverence and civility towards me daughter. Understand. Am I hurting you? Please get up off the carpet you'll leave a mark on both it and your face. You aren't all that bad, just don't let it happen again. I suppose Kagome is in her room, I don't know, the last thing she told me was that she was going to your world. But apparently she didn't. I'm sorry if I offended you Inuyasha, but if you continue to act that way around my daughter there will be consequences." Letting go of his ear, Kagome's mom offered him a snack. Suddenly he looked up, he had gotten up a while ago (off the ground) and since he was here…
"Do you have any Ramen noodles?" he asked. Mrs. Higurashi laughed and left to get some after nodding yes.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called.
"Yes," a voice answered. A door opened a Kagome stepped out. "What are you doing here Inuyasha?"
"You ditched me you baka!" he accused.
"I did not! I tried to go through the well, but I got blocked or something. I climbed out of the well only to discover the well house still there so I knew that something had happened. I tried again, but it didn't work. I thought I'd wait awhile before trying again. I seriously don't know what happened. But when I woke up I had an ominous feeling about today… And that feeling still hasn't gone away…"
"What feeling?" Miroku asked walking up to them. "What is ominous? Where's Sango-san"

"As you know, I'm here to fix my time. To undo the past," the boy explained.
"So? Your present is your present. Shikata ga nai." she said simply.
"But, what if It can?" he pleaded.
"Even if it could, wouldn't we need to go back before it happened to alter it? And if this is your time then shouldn't we have gone back to a time before this." Sango reasoned.
"Yea, demo I need to explain… look Sango. You wanna know the truth. The truth is that Shippo is dead, Miroku is dead" he started emphasizing the dead after Miroku, "Kagome's dead, Inuyasha dead, Myouga's dead, shall I go on?" he asked
"Am I dead?" Sango asked bluntly.
"I can't tell you that because it could affect your future." he spoke to her softly, a hint of sadness in his voice. "I really didn't want to tell you my name because it could affect ou- your future. But you could call me… Hojo."
"Hojo?" Sango asked. She knew that name from somewhere. Of course! "You're Kagome's friend Hojo!" she exclaimed.
"Lie! I'm *loud exhale* I cant tell you who I am and I just chose an easy name that you already knew, so you could call me by a name, instead of 'boy'."
She looked at him skeptically. She gave him a sweet smile. "Ok Hojo."
"…Well see the favor I had asked you is… I want you to stay here," he said giving her an innocent smile.

Kagome looked at him and answered sadly, "I don't know where Sango is Miroku, I-I thought she was with you."
"Kagome-san I thought she was with you." he replied. Then his look of sadness was replaced with that of determination. Running madly towards the well he was determined to find her. Yes, Sango could take care of herself, but what if Naraku had come early? What if she had met up with him? Hold on Sango, he pleaded opening Kagome's back door and carefully closing it. He would get Kaede if he couldn't find her. Kaede could do something to bring her to them… or at least he hope so.
"Where could she be?" Kagome asked. "Okaa-san, I'm going to the Feudal Era, be back as soon as I can. I'll be back before school on Monday!" She called to her mother before running after Miroku.
Stupid Bouzo, I never get much alone time with Kagome. You're always there. Go flirt with Sango. Inuyasha thought angrily before following Miroku.
"Inuyasha, please wait!" Kagome's mother called out running toward him holding up her daughter's backpack. "Take this, it's got Sakura, Ramen noodles, a few drinks and some snacks in it, along with a few sandwiches. Next time, please give me some more time to prepare things."
"Sakura?" Inuyasha asked perplexed.
"It doesn't really concern you. Kagome will know what it is." she answered. Inuyasha hurried after Kagome with her backpack in his hand.
