Chapter 2-Where...am I?
After staring at my hands for who-knows-how long, I sat back down under the tree and started to think. Where was I?
POP
"Jesus!" I screamed, very startled. "Who are you? Well, it couldn't get much worse than it already has. So, what do you want?"
"Well, I'm here to lecture you about how your life could be," Said the strange man who appeared out of nowhere."
And, then, just as he promised, this random man who just appeared suddenly started lecturing me. I didn't pay attention to anything he said. I picked up a good sized rock to throw at him. It missed, but it was enough to scare him away.
So now I was back where I started from. I was in some strange place, with weird fog, and everything looked...animated. Maybe I should've listened to that guy...oh, well...
Far above my head, I could've sworn I heard someone yawning. I looked up, and almost died. "Inu..Yasha...?" I choked out.
The sleeping figure in the red kimono looked down from his perch. "Huh? Who are you, girl?"
"My name is...Cindy."
"Are you here to steal the shards of the Shikon no Tama?" Inuyasha jumped down. "Because if you are...gonna have to get through me." He cracked his knuckles for effect.
"No, no it's nothing like that, see I don't even know where I am, or why my skin is all grainy. See, I come from the year 2004, and-"
"From Kagome's time? I don't believe it." He took a step closer, and held out his claws. My knees buckled. "In fact, I just might have to-"
"Inuyasha! Osawari!" I had been too busy worrying about Inuyasha to notice Kagome come up behind us. "Gomen. Inuyasha is just a little jumpy."
I took a deep breath. "Oh, I know."
"Huh? You know Inuyasha?" Kagome raised her eye brows.
"Well...sort of...not really, but..." I stumbled, trying to find the right words.
"That's okay, you don't have to say." Kagome reassured me with her best smile. "By, the way, I noticed that you're not wearing clothes from around here. Where are you from?"
"Oh, I'm from your era." I smiled back.
Kagome gave me a look I couldn't quite interpret. "Okay, whatever. Come with us, though, alright?"
"Um...okay..."
"Great!" she grabbed my hand and started pulling me along. "Inuyasha! Sa!"
Inuyasha was now sitting up, with his back to the tree. "I'm coming....I'm coming..." but Kagome and I were already far ahead of them. "Oi! Kagome! Matao!"

More Commentary:
There is some Japanese in this one...I'm not sure about the spelling of the last two, but "Gomen" is "Sorry," "Sa" is "Come," and "Matao" is wait. As the story picks up, you might notice pieces of our personalities rub off on Cindy. Here's a hint: if she quietly adapts to the situation, I'm probably writing. She'll say things like, "Ok...whatever." If it's Carrie, she'll start questioning anything new, and be really reluctant. That's when she says stuff like, "What? Why should I?!" Christy is writing when Cindy starts spazing out about everything. Then, she says things like, "Oh my god! What? I can't believe it!" and it's got a bunch of sentences with exclamation points in a row. For those of you who are wondering, the guy in the beginning, the one who lectures Cindy about what life could be for her...he never comes back. Why is that there? Somebody tell me! You know that this is going to be an interesting story when the co-author/editor doesn't have the slightest clue what's happening. Read on!
