Kagome pulled herself out of the well just as Inuyasha appeared, rising from the ground. He called up to Kagome, who waved and laughed as Miroku came forth below Inuyasha, who was thrown to his feet. The two were hopelessly entangled below.
Kagome giggled as Inuyasha finally removed himself from the well and stood beside her. Miroku was a bit shaken, but had come through alright.
"That was…an interesting journey…" he said spacily.
Kagome gestured and she opened the sliding doors cautiously. She wouldn't know how to explain the strange-eared boy and monk to any passer-by who noticed and didn't even want to think about how she was going to talk to her family about it.
"Quick, follow me into the temple!" she whispered. The men followed behind her as she ran to the door and shoved them inside. Luckily, the house was empty.
"You both can stay in the guest room," she explained as she led them there and opened the door. "It's got two beds, and I'll break the news to my mom and grandpa some way or another. Sota will be happy, though. He hasn't shut up about you since you last came, Inuyasha."
She left them in the room, staring at four walls, two beds, a dresser, a nightstand, table, and each other.
"You've…met her family?" Miroku finally broke the silence.
"Once or twice," was the reply.
