A/N: Well, apparently the powers that be don't want me working on the sister story. So, you lucky people, you, you get the sequal. Wooooooah. Thumbs up!

There've been cries for a sequal, so, I did one… I hope it measures up to the first…

"D-Do we have to fly on the big metal bird thing?" Sango asked, shuddering a bit. Kagome giggled and shook her head.

Miroku, curled around Sango, looked dissapointed. "So we get to go in the small, slower creature but not the bigger, faster one. How does that make sense?" They'd seen airplanes when Kagome had taken them to pick up Siri at the airport—they'd been fascinated with them since. The train had been even worse, they'd actually gotten to ride it. She'd made sure they were well aquatinted with the minivan on the drive back home.

Siri chuckled, on her way out the door—when she'd insisted on spending the summer with Kagome's family, her parents had insisted on a cram school in Tokyo… she convinced them it would be a 'worldly experience.' She'd also claimed that Kagome would need her there for 'emotional support.'

Siri instructed, patting her friend on the shoulder with a free hand. "You're never going to completely modernize them."

Kagome made a face at the blonde's retreating back, then looked around. "Hey, has anyone seen Inu-Yasha?"
