Chapter 2! I know that chapter one didn't make much sense yet ~ especially
if you haven't read The Fire Demon's Heart, but chapter 2 will hopefully
change that.

Bump bump bump. The plane bounced up and down as it landed on the runway. After five minutes, Kurama felt as if he was about to throw up. He reached for the brown bag in the pouch in front of him. His face became green and she put the bag to his mouth. *Bleh!* The plane came to a screeching halt and they all fell forward. At that moment, the stewardess had been trying to get to the front of the plane and was making her way down the tight walkway. Kurama's bag of barf flew out of his hands and landed on the stewardess's skirt and blouse.
"Ew, ew, ew! That did not just happen. Tell me that did not just happen." She shrieked.
"I'm so sorry miss, I just got a little sick and when the plane stopped, it startled me and,"
But she didn't hear him. She was to busy shrieking and waving her hands. The people sitting in the front of the plane turned around and stared at her.
"Nice one Kurama!" Hiei complemented.
They began to get off the plane and walked into the crowded airport. They went over to retrieve their bags.
"Um, Hiei, we may want to hurry out, you know, because of your katana problem." Kurama suggested.
"Yeah, ok." They grabbed their bags and casually ran out of the building. Security saw them running and began to chase them, but with Hiei and Ayisa's speed and Kurama's intellect, they disappeared. Three minutes later, they walked towards a small town and decided to get some food and then find a place to stay.
***********************
Kagome's House
***********************
Its so nice to be able to eat regular food, on a table, while sitting on chairs, not having to worry about random demons attacking. Although, Inu- yasha always took care of me and protected me. But then Kikyo had to barge in. I can't believe Inu-yasha still loves her. She's out to kill him and he can't see that. Or maybe he won't see that, I almost feel sorry for the guy. I'll go back when he comes for me, just as long as he doesn't come before I take that big test tomorrow. Oh well, I'll think about it more later when the time comes.
"Kagome! Kagome!" She looked up and saw her mother standing at the door. "What's wrong dear, you were just sitting there with a spaced out look on your face. Are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry mom, yes I'm ok, I was just thinking."
"Dinner is in fifteen minutes, could you run to the store and pick up some bread?"
"Oh sure, let me just get my coat." She went to the closet and grabbed her coat and slipped it on as she ran out the door. As she put her hands into the pockets, she felt something cold. She pulled out a small jar of shikon shards. "Oh, I forgot I had these." She shoved them back into her pocket and ran off towards the supermarket.
She reached the store as Kurama, Ayisa, and Hiei were walking out. "Hey this sugar stuff is pretty good." Ayisa said as she stuffed a bunch of sugar packets, followed by a can of mountain dew into her mouth.
"Um, First of all, I don't think you're supposed to eat the rappers, and second, I don't think you supposed to eat sugar that way anytime." Kurama informed.
"What's the worst that could happen?" She asked. Suddenly she began to shake and jump up and down. "Heythissugarstuffisnotallthatbaditmakesmehappybuticannotconcentrateandcanno tfighttheurgetogouptopeopleandbugthem!" She said in one breath. "Heylookoverthere!"
Kagome was standing in the middle of the parking lot when a flash of red flew by and Inu-yasha appeared.
"Come on, lets go." He muttered.
"No, I have a test tomorrow and I need to pass. Can't you wait another day?"
"No, we need you to help us find more shards." He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Lets go."
"Aeiiiiiiii!" She screamed. "Inu-yasha! Put me down right now!" She waved her arms and her coat bounced up and down. The bottle holding the shards flew out of her pocket and landed on the ground.
"Look she's in trouble!" Kurama yelled.
Ayisa sped over to where the girl had been standing and picked up the bottle. "Waityoudroppedthis!" She yelled.
They did not stop so she ran after them with Hiei and Kurama following closely behind. They followed the white-haired boy until they came to a well. The boy walked into the building and the three demons followed him. When Ayisa got inside the building, she began to slow down and rest for a minute.
"That sugar stuff is fun, I want more." She stated. She reached for the bag of food but Kurama stopped her.
"Um, maybe later." He said, "Lets go give these back to that girl." He held up the bottle of shards. They looked around the room and noticed a large well down below, but no people.
"Didn't they come in here?" Hiei asked.
"Yeah, I thought they did." Kurama answered.
"Look, there's some marks on the edges of that well, they look like fingernail indents." Ayisa said as she pointed to the well.
They ran down to the well and looked in. It was pitch black and they couldn't see the bottom.
"Um, maybe they went down there." Ayisa said as she looked into the nothingness. "I'm going to jump."
"Are you crazy, that's suicide." Hiei claimed.
"Yeah, but if you and Kurama come, it'll be murder!" She laughed. They looked at her with big eyes and sweat drops. "I was kidding!"
"Hn. I'm not scared." Hiei said. He grabbed Ayisa's arm and she grabbed Kurama, and they jumped into the well.
The only problem was, "Why haven't we hit the ground yet?" Kurama asked.
They fell for what seemed like ages and finally, they hit the ground and looked up. There was a bright light streaming in and the sun was shining. "What the?" Hiei said as he jumped to up and landed on the grass. He looked down into the well and yelled, "Weren't we in a building when we jumped?"
"Yes, it was an old well house." Kurama answered. "Why? Where is that light coming from?"
"I don't think we're in Japan anymore." Ayisa said as she jumped up and looked around. "Oh, oh, maybe a tornado hit while we were in the well and carried the well to this place! I bet we're somewhere over the rainbow!"
"Kurama! I told you not to let her watch that movie!" Hiei yelled.
"Sorry, I didn't think she'd like it that much." He said as he jumped up and landed on the edge of the well. He stood there and looked underneath the well, just to make sure they didn't kill anybody, you know, just in case they were somewhere over the rainbow.
"I don't remember there being a forest." Ayisa said. "Look! There's smoke over there."
They began to walk towards the village where the smoke was drifting up into the sky. As they walked through the streets, the villagers cowered in fear and locked their doors. The people looked at them through their windows and would duck whenever one of the demons would look in their direction.
"What's up with this place?" Ayisa wondered.
They continued to walk down the path towards the smoke and they came to a clearing. They saw an old woman and the girl cooking food over the fire. The girl looked up and looked at them. She whispered something to the old lady and the got up and came over to the demons.
"Hi, you look lost. My name is Kagome and this is Lady Keade. Is everything all right?"
"Um, here, this is your bottle, isn't it?" Kurama said as he held out the bottle.
"Oh, yes, thank you. I must have dropped them when Inu-yasha carried me here. But who are you and how did you find me?"
"We followed you into the well house and when we didn't see you, without thinking, we jumped into the well and we ended up here." Kurama answered.
"Yeah, this is my brother Yoko, but everyone calls him Kurama, this is Hiei, and I'm Ayisa."
"But that does not explain how ye ended up here. If ye are from Kagome's time, then ye shouldn't have been able to come through the well. Unless, it was the shikon shards that brought ye here." Lady Keade began to think, "But if it were the shards that brought ye here, then ye must wait until the shikon no tama is complete to go home. For if ye need the shards to get here, ye need the shards to get home, so ye will just have to wait."
"The shikon no tama? I think I've heard of it before. It's supposed to grant the beholder imaginable powers right? But I heard it was a jewel, why is it that all you have a few shards?" Kurama asked.
"Well, yes, it was a jewel, but I accidentally broke it and now it's spilt into hundreds of shards. We must find these shards to complete the jewel and stop the demons from gaining power." Kagome answered.
"A jewel that increases demonic power? I could use that." Hiei said.
"You could, but you won't." Kurama snapped.
"Hey where's my food!" Everyone turned and saw Inu-yasha walking towards them. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango were following.
Kurama began to stiffen up when he saw Inu-yasha. Now there's a dog demon? Just great. He thought.
"Inu-yasha, this is," Kagome started, but was interrupted by Miroku.
"Oh, your ears are so pretty and I have no problem with you being a demon, will you bear my child?" He asked Ayisa.
She looked at him, held one hand out and grabbed his, and whacked him over the head with the other. "Sorry, I'm taken."
Still rubbing his head, he said, "Oh well." He turned to Kurama and began to rub his hand, "Your red hair is so pretty, I can tell that you are strong and loyal. Will you bear my child?"
*Kurama sweat drop*
"Um, Miroku? That's Kurama, he's a guy." Kagome giggled.
"Um, right, sorry." He began to get red and snuck to the back of the group.
"So where'd you come from? Two demons and a half breed, you almost never see them together." Inu-yasha questioned.
"Well, we followed Kagome here from our own time. I'm Ayisa and this is my brother Yoko, but call him Kurama. He's a kitsune trapped in a human body, and then this is Hiei."
"Stuck huh? To bad." Inu-yasha laughed. "So you're a thief, a fox, a low- life."
"Yeah, you're lucky I'm stuck. In my demon form I could make you whimper with your tail between your legs." Kurama snapped. His eyes were dark and he reached behind his ear to pull out his rose.
O.o
"Yoko? What's wrong? You're scarring me." Ayisa whispered.
"Inu-yasha! You're so insensitive! How could you say that to him?" Sango snapped. She ran over to Kurama and gave him a hug. "Don't listen to him, ok?"
Kurama pulled out his rose and seemed as if he were about to create his rose whip, but then handed it to Sango. "Thank you, I don't know what I would have done had I gotten any angrier."
She began to blush, "S-sure." "What's your name?" He asked her.
"S-Sango." She stuttered.
"Why does he get all of her attention? Who does he think he is just waltzing in here and stealing her away from me?" Miroku whispered.
"Excuse Me?" Ayisa snapped. "My ears are better than you may think. By the way you're dressed, I'd say you were a monk. Just what business does a monk have with her." She walked up to Miroku and pointed her finger at him. "And what kind of person asks a girl he just met if she would bear your child? You make me sick. You better leave my brother alone or you'll get it."
"S-stay back! I have the power to pull you into oblivion!" He stuttered.
"Whatever you slime ball. Like you could trap the fox, the most cunning of creatures." Ayisa snapped.
"Hn. This is pathetic." Hiei groaned.
"What did you just say?" Inu-yasha yelled.
"I just said that this was pathetic and meaningless and I'm about to get very mad." Hiei stated.
"That's it. I'm already fired up because of that darn fox, I could take you on anyday." Inu-yasha said as he grabbed for his Tetsusaiga.
Hiei reached for his katana and sped around Inu-yasha's back and pointed the blade at his throat. "Now I suggest you quiet down and leave us alone."
Inu-yasha lowered his blade and turned around. "Ok fine, now why don't you and your friends leave."
"Maybe we will!" He snapped. "Come on Kurama, Ayisa, lets go." He began to walk back towards the well.
Kurama glared at Inu-yasha and Miroku and followed Hiei.
Ayisa turned to Kagome, "Well, it was nice meeting you at least." She left and ran after Hiei.
"You just had to go and tick him off didn't you?" Kagome snapped. "They could have helped us get more shards. You saw how skilled they were!"
"Oh shut up." Inu-yasha yelled back. "Go after them." She said.
"What?!" He said in disbelief.
"You heard me. Go after them!" She repeated.
There was a sudden chill in the air and the cold shot down Inu-yasha's spine. "Ok, ok, I'm going. You don't have to get so upset!" He turned and slowly walked towards the well.

Thanks to the snow day, I've had time to finish chapter 2. Hope you enjoyed it. Chapter three will come as soon as I find time to write it *cursed homework* Oh well. Don't forget to review!
