(Disclaimer: YEah, if I owned any of the animes or characters from any of the animea mentioned in here, my computer wouldn't have just crashed on me a minute ago, right when I was well on my way with this fic!! Meaning I would have a better computer, meaning that, since I don't, I only own the plot.)
*glares at her computer darkly* Y'know, I hate this piece of sh-
*random passerby says 'Shiny day!'*
*blinks* Who the hell-
"random passerby says 'Hello!'*
This is giving me a strange sense of deja vu. . . . . .
*blink*
Anywho, no review responses since it might waste too much time and space. @.@ Maybe next time.
And yes, I have finally come up with a title. A cheesy one, but a title nontheless. Ha!
Okay, people are already voting for who they want to be with who. . . . . .*blinks and looks at the votes so far*
Re/Sesshoumaru - 1
Rei/Inuyasha - 1
Well, 'tis a tie so far, so you guys can all vote and see if you can persuade me to lean towards a certain couple, if you want. . .*sweatdrops as people shove in their votes at her*
Oh, before I forget, here are the plushies I promised! *grabs a plain looking sack on the ground next to her and pulls it open, holds it up and turns it over, shaking out the plushies*
There! Oh, what's this. . . . .*spots a spiffy plushie and takes it for herself, promptly huggling it, causing the plushie to make a face*
Onto the show! Er, fic! Er. . .whatever. *Sweatdrop*
KEY:
"talking"
'thinking'
(author's notes)
The KEY shall be done every four chapters from now on.

Rei sighed as the path before her grew less and less visible in the dimming light through the small gaps of the trees surrounding the path she was pacing upon.
With another sigh, she dug around in a pocket in her outfit, pulling out one of her handy ofudas. Begining a chant, the ofuda burst into flames, not scathing the girl for the flame was centered at the top of the sheet.
With the path ahead illuminated slightly better, Rei continued on her (un)merry way.
*******
"Osuwari!"Kagome yelled, causing Inuyasha to make a visit with his recent friend, the ground, who he then proceeded to teach some of his colorful language.
Kagome fumed and stomped off to Kaede's hut, ready for some sleep.
'He's always so. . .such a. . . .baka!'she thought, fuming even more. {baka=fool, idiot}
Meanwhile, back to Inuyasha, he was just now prying his face from the ground.
Spitting out some dirt from his mouth, Inuyasha perked up at a sound coming from the path leading to the well.
Turning his head, he looked to see what exactly was coming out of the path.
And out stepped a teenage girl, bearing remarkable resemblance to Kagome, with a slip of paper burning in one hand and a strange stick in the other.
She seemed to have sensed his eyes boring into her, for she stopped surveying her surroundings and looked back.
Rei hadn't been expecting to see anything familiar, even a person, after going through that path.
Imagine her surprise when she found the same dog boy that had taken Kagome standing there.
At first, she was slightly shocked, then she decided that waiting to see if he would be the first to say or do anything would be a good idea.
"Who the hell are you??"he asked, narrowing his eyes.
"I. . . .am I."Rei said smartly, quoting what Chibi Chibi had told Usagi.
Inuyasha puzzled over that statement for a second before realizing it was a trick.
"Hey! Give me your name!"he growled.
"Hmmm. . . . ."Rei paused to look like she was contemplating the matter,". . .Nah, I don't think I will."
"What?! Why you little-"
"Inuyasha!!"a new voice yelled. "Osuwari!"
Rei cringed as she saw the necklace around Inuyasha's neck glow before forcing him to meet the ground face-first.
'That has to hurt. . . .'she thought, turning to face the person who had driven her berbal opponent into the ground.
"R-rei?!?"Kagome stuttered a bit as Rei turned to face the girl.
"Kagome?"Rei asked, also a bit shocked.
"W-what are you doing here?"Kagome asked.
"I'd like to ask you the same question."Rei snorted.
"Guys, what's going on out here?"Sango asked, poking her head out of Kaede's hut, Miroku's following hers.
"That's what I'd like to know."Inuyasha snorted.
Suddenly Sango blushed a deep red color before a loud 'HENTAI!' echoed through the village followed by a resounding SMACK. {Hentai=big pervert}
Rei blinked and sweatdropped as she watched the before scene happen.
'Cripes, this is one strange place. . . .'she thought.
". . . . . . .Sooo, anyone know any good icebreakers?"Rei spoke up suddenly, breaking the resounding silence.
Kagome stiffled a laugh at this as the others just blinked slightly, not exactly getting the icebreaker part. . . .
"Well, we have a bit of explaining to do, so I guess we had better go inside someplace and start talkin'."Rei shrugged, not really up to explaining.
"Okay, then let's go."
*******
". . . .and that is the story."Kagome finished.
Rei nodded slightly, pondering how she should phrase her own story. Since no regular human could go through that well, they must suspect something about her already, so she had no clue how to start.
"Well. . . . .,"began Rei,"It started out when I was fourteen years old."
She paused to try and think of words to place without giving away her identity.
"Everyday was pretty much normal, until busses started disappearing after coming to the shrine. Everyone who had family members on the busses came and complained to us about it, even though we had nothing to do with the busses.
Around that same time, a new helper volunteered to help at the shrine, and he had these. . . .horrible, icy blue eyes. He gave me the creeps.
Also, a few days into the disappearing busses, a blonde haired girl with the most strange hairstyle showed up at the shrine, hoping to buy some good luck charms for love. She was with a couple of her friends. I ended up tossing one of my ofudas at the poor blonde, knocking her out."Rei smiled at the memory.
"Anywho, she came and went, and busses continued disappearing around the same time each day, one a day. One day, the blonde comes back to my shrine with her little black cat, and I find this. . . .strange pen on the ground."Rei brandished her henshin pen to the group.
"Anywho, it eventually ends up with me gaining a bit of. . .power, and I help around with defeating the people who made the busses disappear. That's it, basically. No signs of magic anymore. . . .Unless you count the ofudas and fire readings, but. . .that's it."she finished, happy with herself at barely giving much away.
Inuyasha scowled, glaring at the raven haired lookalike of Kagome.
"You're lying."he growled.
Rei blinked, wondering how he knew.
"How can I be? I gave you the story."she said.
"I can smell it."he growled again.
Rei sighed.
"You want the truth? I don't think you even want to know the truth. . . . . ."Rei sighed, shaking her head.
"But we told you our story!"Shippou exclaimed, suddenly seeming wide awake from the nap he had taken just a second ago.
". . . . .Fine."Rei sighed, running a hand through her hair and grabbing her cup of steaming tea, drinking from it.
"Kagome, you've heard of the Sailor Senshi, ne?"she asked.
Kagome nodded furiously.
Rei smirked. "Thought so. Well, I'm Sailor Mars, plain and simple."
Kagome's jaw proceeded to drop.
"I'm lost. . . . ."Sango said, blinking in slight confusion.
"The Sailor Senshi are super heroines with powers over the elements who help defend the world from evil and stuff like that."Rei shrugged. "I'm guessing that since you've never heard of them, they don't exist in this time. But I don't know why they would, seeing as the Queen sent us to a time where we were supposed to live normal lives and all. . . . ."
"Queen?"Kagome asked.
"Queen Serenity X. The great ruler of the Moon Palace. I'd brief you on the history, but it takes too long and Usagi is the only one who can really use her powers to show flashbacks of the place."Rei shrugged again, not really wanting to re-live the tale anyway.
"We have plenty of time."Miroku said.
"Well. . . . ."Rei paused, "We should get some sleep tonight since you are supposed to go traveling tomorrow morning, ne? I can tell you then, and afterwards we can form a plan for me to go home."
"Sounds good to me."Kagome yawned. "All these late nights are taking a toll on me."
"I'm actually used to staying up this late."Rei shrugged. "Youma attacks in the city and stuff this late, and all. But a nice night of undisturbed sleep sounds nice."
"Then let's sleep."Kagome yawned.
*******
Rei was abrputly awakened the next morning by the sounds of a fight. Yawning and sitting up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she stood up, glancing down at her old clothes from yesterday. Maybe she could just borrow some from this time or something. . . .
Standing up and observing her surroundings in the now-empty hut, she already found some new clothes, some robes like the ones she wore at the shrine doing chores, laid out and neatly folded next to her bed.
Sighing, she stood up and snatched the clothes, knowing that she needed a nice, refreshing bath now anyway.
Her greeting when stepping out of the doorway was finding Inuyasha face first on the ground in her path. Shrugging nonchalantly, she stepped right on the middle of his back like it was no big deal and continued on her way to find Kagome and ask her where a spring to bath in might be.
She found Kagome fuming silently on the other side of the hut.
"Hey, Kagome. . . .?"Rei ventured, causing the girl's head to snap her way.
"Yes?"asked the other girl.
"Where's a spring I can shower in?"
"Oh? Uh, let me come with you, who knows if Miroku might show up. . . .Might wanna grab Sango too, she can keep watch with me."
"Um. . .Ookay."Rei blinked.
"So, how's life been for you?"Kagome asked over her shoulder, keeping a good eye trained on the woods for any peeping toms.
"Fine. . . .Despite the occasional villian or villianess going around town saying 'I'm going to take over this measly town/city/world/galazy/universe mwahahahahaha!', but hey, you get it."Rei shrugged, grabbing the robes and quickly slipping them on and shaking her hair dry.
"And it's safe to turn around now."Rei added in, flipping her wet hair over her shoulder.
Kagome turned around and blinked in a bit of shock.
'Cripes, she look just like Kikyou. . . . .'she thought, staring for a second.
Rei huffed slightly at being stared at and snapped, "Hey, would you mind not staring? I don't swing that way."
Kagome blushed and sweatdropped, "Gomen, gomen, you just reminded me of someone I know. . .knew. . . .whatever."
Rei blinked and shrugged. "Whatever. And we need to get back to camp, anyway. Aren't you guys supposed to set out soon?"
*******
Meanwhile, back in Kagome's and Rei's time, Kagome's grandpa was freaking out about Rei's sudden disappearance.
And he was on the phone with Rei's grandpa, thus resulting in some interesting excuses on why she couldn't come answer the phone.
"May I speak to Rei?"Rei's grandpa asked.
"Uh. . .uh. . .She's. . . . .Busy!"Kagome's grandpa replied.
"Why is she busy?"
"She's. . . ..uh. . . .Helping Kagome with her homework!"
"Well, can I talk to her for just a minute? Her friends also want to say hi to her."
"Um. . .Er. . . .Well, she's going to take a shower now!"
"Well, I guess that's liable. . . . .Okay, I'll call back in an hour!"
"Okay Ja ne."Kagome's grandpa sighed into the reciever, placing the phone back on its cradle.
'I hope he doesn't call again. . . .'Kagome's grandpa thought wearily, hoping that he could come up with more excuses just in case before the next call.
And, as if to spite the old man, the phone rang again.
*******
Gwah!! That was chapter two for you!! Hahaha. *cough* Um, well, I checked over it, and I hope I didn't miss anything, but, seeing as I usually do, I might as well check again. . . . . .
Okay, done checking. *grin* Well, review and you'll make me a very happy authoress. Ooh, and the more you review, the more probable it will be that I'll update within the month! *nodnod* Yeah, that ought to be some encouragement for you readers to start reviewing, if you didn't already!
Anywho, review and you'll get a collection, yes, I said a COLLECTION, of bishounen/bishoujo plushies. Mwahahaha!
Oh, and remember, you can vote for the couples if you want to try and persuade me to make this a romance. *nudgenudgewinkwink*
