Yasha?

It's been a long year and seven months hasn't it everyone? I'm sorry that I left you all hanging I didn't mean to. For my apology I have made the chapter extra long, all most more then double what I would normally write. I pretty sure that some of you will enjoy the chapter. Hopefully I'll be able to update maybe two more times this month before I go back to stay with my sister again. At the most I know for sure I'll update again before the month is over with. Now that I have learned the magic of a floppy disk maybe I'll be able to update over the summer at my sister's house. Then I won't leave you guys waiting in suspense for so long.

I do not own Sailormoon or Inuyasha. I do not own any characters that are in way associated with them.

Yasha? Chapter 16- Yura of the Demon Hair

Inuyasha growled in annoyance at Kagome's retreating form, her actions and the way she acted around him frustrated him to no ends. She was one of the most complicating humans that he had ever meet and it didn't help the fact that she was a girl human. Women always made things more complicated then they were, they also stretched things way out of proportion. "I didn't say you should get naked, I want you to wear those weird clothes hanging over there that you had on earlier."

"Is it that disturbing to you that we both look exactly like Kikyou Inuyasha?" Rei asked as she watched the hanyou for any indications that showed that he was indeed bothered by the way they looked in the priestess clothing.

"Ah...? What are you talking about." Inuyasha replied he didn't have the slightest clue about what Rei was trying to get at.

Kagome stopped her retreat and made her way back to where Inuyasha was and stared him in the face. Her brown eyes looked into his golden ones searching for the truth that she wanted to know. "So... do you hate us that much? You hate us for the simple fact that we look like Kikyou to you and the rest of the world. That's a stupid reason to hate someone you don't even know." Kagome broke her eye contact with Inuyasha for a moment as she looked after to the side thinking about something. "You're not evening giving yourself a chance to get to know us but yet you are already judging us because of something someone did to you fifty years ago. And for crying our loud they're dead now. Now listen here buddy time goes on and things change; we can't always go on holding a grudge against the rest of the world because of something that someone did to you. We only have one life to live. One day we're here and the next we might be gone. Sometimes the world that we live in doesn't seem so fair and giving."

Inuyasha eyes narrowed as he realized what Kagome was accusing him of and he didn't appreciate it. "If you've been through what I have those words wouldn't even have came out of your mouth or cross that stupid, human mind of yours." Inuyasha stared at Kagome and Rei without any facial expression. " Why should it bother me that you look like some dead bitch." He simply stated before he took off.

Kagome clutched her hands in fists. That damn dog demon was really starting to get on her nerves. She was starting to wish that Usagi didn't pull that arrow out of his chest even if it was to save her life. If she hadn't they then wouldn't be in all of this mess. Of course, that would mean that she would be dead right now, so she guess she did owe her life to the half demon. She unclenched her fists and picked up her wet clothes and flapped them out making sure that they would dry properly. " Let's head back to the village now Rei." Without waiting to see if the girl was going to agree with her she started to head back to the village where old priestess lived in. Rei followed her as she glanced in the direction that Inuyasha fled

"Kaede-sama?" From around a trunk of a tree a village woman steps out, hold her hand was a small child, and she was carrying a baby on her back.

"Yes Amial." Kaede answered the mother.

Amial approached Kaede, fully coming out from the shade of the tall trees. "It's about my daughter.... Kaede She suddenly collapsed when she was doing her daily chores for no apparent reason."

Kaede raised her eyebrow, at the information. It was too early for any of the villagers to be falling out because of the heat and she knew for a fact Amial's daughter wasn't overworked or under any stress. " Hnn. She suddenly collapsed you say?"

"Hai."

"I will come back to the village to see her." Kaede looked off into that Inuyasha had retreated. "Try not to fight with Kagome or Rei any more then you have to Inuyasha. It will be in the best interest of you and the girls if you all were friends instead of enemies constantly bricking and at each other's throats." Kaede advised the young half demon before she followed the woman with the children back to the village.

Inuyasha looked at the old woman's back with an annoyed expression "Fleh, the old bag doesn't know what she is talking about.". Inuyasha stated to no one in particular, just to anyone that happened to hear what she said. " She's loosing it."

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes as he watched the two girls leave the lake. He ducked down on the branch that he was on when he thought that Kagome had spotted him when she looked back. He shook his head at his paranoia as he mind drifted to the thoughts he was having earlier.

Kikyou. That bitch tried to kill me not once, but three separate times. The first time was when she pinned me to that damn tree for the longest fifty years that I have lived. I was able to hear and sense everything around me. Being pinned to a tree and never being able to interact with another soul, it was torture with being put in any pain at all. I wouldn't even wish it on my own enemies, except for Kikyo. The second when she was brought back from life and immediately tried to kill me with her purifying arrows. The third was when she and Usagi fell off that cliff to their deaths. When I tired to help her and all she tried to do was pull me over and send some kind of electrocuting energy into my hand. You think that after all those attempts to take his life he would a happy go puppy, hell na'll. He was glad the bitch was dead again, it was a shame that Usagi had to die too but in the end Kikyou was gone and it was for the best interest for him and the rest of the world that she was at rest again.

Rei did point out the obvious to him; it was too disturbing on how much they looked like the dead priestess to him. If it weren't for the fact that Kikyou had been dead for fifty years, not counting the recent event, one would swear that she was standing in front of them if they only saw one of the pair.

He slightly tilted his head to the side as he examined the girls with his eyes. He noticed that Rei had more womanly defined curves, which she probably got from doing a lot of exercise he mentally noted, and less body fat and that Kagome looked more like Kikyou because of her hair and eyes. Kagome's eyes were the same chocolate brown eyes that Kikyou had and Rei's were a dark shade of purple. Her hair also had a violet tilt to it while Kagome's held a brown one.

He slapped himself in the head when he realized what he was doing.

They are not Kikyou, Inuyasha and they will never be.

Kagome looked behind her and off into the forest in which she knew the dog demon had fled. "Inuyasha why are you so defiant? We can't afford to be together from now on... Inuyasha."

"Are you coming Kagome?" Rei asked as she turned around and noticed the smaller girl looking back at the forest by the lake.

"Hai I am." Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and went to catch up with the raven-haired girl. "You know what Rei, if he hates the way we look so much then I say we don't show our faces around here anymore, let's go home."

Rei's head jerked around at the last three words that came out of the girl's mouth. She stared long and hard at Kagome's form before the words that formed in her head decided that they wanted to come out." What do you mean we should go home? How are we supposed to do that? We have no idea what so ever how to get back to the present, we don't even know how the hell we got stuck in this time." Anger began to rise in Rei as she reached her hands as if to throttle the girl but lowered them just before she turned around. If Kagome had known all a long on how to get back to the present time then why was she just now bringing it up? They could have been back home before anything had ever happened… it couldn't be because she actually wanted to stay here could it? She shook her head, there could be no reason why Kagome would want to stay in Feudal Japan, even if she had developed feelings for Inuyasha it wasn't enough to keep her there was it? Or maybe it was in Kagome's mind but it didn't matter what she wanted what matter was what is going to be best for the both of them

Rei counted to ten twice in her head before she started to say anything else, whatever was going to come out of her mouth this time she wanted it to sound civil even though she felt like torturing the girl's body with her fireballs. " How long have you known how to get back home Kagome." She stressed her named through her clenched teeth. She wanted, no she need to say what was on her mind but she needed to know how to get home first before she told the naïve girl off for withholding what she knew. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I've known how to get back ever since we were kidnapped by those men and I accidentally shattered the Shikon no Tama." She simply stated as if it was an already known fact of the world. Kagome didn't know what she was setting herself up for; she would have been better off lying to the taller girl. She knew that Rei had a bad temper, was easily angered and provoked, what she failed to realize was that when important things were kept from her, like knowing how to get back to their original time, was a big no, no. Her actions could result in someone getting hurt really bad. Hopefully she would correct herself and save herself from a world of a lot of hate. "But I just recently figured out that it was the Bone Eater's Well that allowed us to travel back in time. Yesterday when I went to the well to think about the things that have been happening I got this feeling, like I wanted to jump down the well. Anyway, I think that there is an activated time portal, loop or whatever you want to call it at the bottom of the Bone Eater's Well. For some reason or another it became active when we all went into the well's shrine. With Mistress Centipede on the other side of the well she must have been closed by and sensed the jewel that was in my body and decided to come through to retrieve it."

Rei let loose a little steam, she couldn't be too mad at the girl if she just now figured out how they could get home. What she should have done though was tell her she had a theory on how to get home.

If Kagome had this idea ever since that kidnapping incident that means that Usagi could still be alive right now, she wouldn't be in some deep pool of water along with Kikyou.

Kagome held her check as she felt as if a thousand fire ants were stinging her cheek. She looked at Rei surprised with her reaction to her theory and the strength behind the blow that she had been dealt. Rei was always one to hand back but this was one of the few times that she let loose.

"What the fuck were you thinking!" Kagome took a step back as she became frighten when she saw the hatred that the priestess eyes held for her. "If you would have mention this earlier, instead of worrying about your feeling for that bastard, then Usagi would still be alive. I understand why Inuyasha hates you now, you don't think of the consequences of your actions, you think of only yourself. Well let me tell you something Kagome the world doesn't revolve around you. Not every person in the world has to bow and worship the ground that you walk on. Only one person deserves that kind of treatment and its Usagi for all the things that she did for us and everyone us…." Rei shut her mouth when she realize that if she kept going on then she was going to reveal to Kagome that she and Usagi were Sailor senshi.

Inuyasha's doggy ears began to pick up in the heated conversation that Kagome and Rei were having.

Go home? What does Kagome mean by that?

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out startled by the silver haired teenager's appearance. She clutched her chest at she glared at the demon. " What do you want?" Kagome questioned after she let go of her chest feeling that her heart rate had return to normal.

"No." Rei said as she stepped in front of Kagome. She guessed that Inuyasha had overheard their 'talk' and decided to either come and break it or was here for the jewel shard that they had. Kaede had hidden it in Kagome's clothing when neither Kagome nor Inuyasha was looking.

Kagome looked puzzled as Rei stood protectively in front of her. Rei seemed to know why the half demon was there. " Give me the jewel shard," was the simple command they received from the boy. "You've got the Jewel fragment, leave it here with me."

Closing her eyes, Kagome gives a command..."Osuwari!" Inuyasha's face meet again with the earth for the second time that day. Inuyasha glared at Kagome as he brought his face out of the ground. "I'm sorry Rei, if I had known that there was a chance I would have mentioned it sooner."

"It's alright." Rei accepted Kagome's apology, Kagome was all she had left in this strange world and she wasn't going to lose her to some anger management problems she had. " I should be the one to apologize I let my anger get the best of me and cloud muy judgment. Amigas?" She asked as she stuck out her hand for Kagome to shake.

"Sure." Kagome answered unsure at what the amigas meant. She turned to Inuyasha. "You'll be OK without me, won't you?" Kagome began to walk off with Rei, carrying her school clothes, while Inuyasha turned and looked at her back questionably.

" Kagome…what do you mean?" Inuyasha asked unsure if he wanted to really know the answered. "Where are you off too. Kagome I…"

Rei turned her head back to explain to Inuyasha. " Kagome and I are going home. Goodbye Inuyasha."

A look of surprise suddenly crossed Inuyasha's boyish face as he watched the two walk off to whatever their destination was, there hair blowing in the wind.

"This way, Kaede-sama. " Amial said as she showed Kaede in a room where a girl was lying on some mats with a kimono cover her body except for her head. Kaede, who had been carrying a jar in her hands, sat down while the girl's mother closed a curtain behind her, while she instructed her other children to go play with the other village children. Amial turned to Kaede. "She was perky in the morning, but... I just don't know what happened. She won't wake up at all and she doesn't seem to be dead.

Kaede placed the jar beside her as she stared at Amial daughter unmoving form. "Let's see... " She said as she began her work.

Rei and Kagome made their way towards the well from which they had came out of not so long ago. "The dry well where we came out from. Rei peers over the edge of the well to look inside. " Kagome I think we should be able to go back from here to the other side...I can sense that there is something down there. I don't know what it is but the presence there is very faint." Kagome looked at Rei with a smile. " You mean we should be able to return to modern day Tokyo?" Rei nodded her head as a conformation. "What are we waiting…

Holding the rim of the well with her hands, Kagome sat down in defeat. " I can't... I'm afraid to enter..."

Rei stared at Kagome what had caused the change in heart in the girl, was it Inuyasha. Rei sat down deciding to give the girl some time to think when she noticed a small bird does a nose-dive into the ground beside her. She looked around and noticed that since they had arrived there were several dead birds around them. All of them seem to have their wings cut from their small bodies. "What the hell is going on here?" She questioned as she began to see threads.

"Hmmm, so you... can see it." A voice somewhere off stated.

"Where are you and who are you?" Kagome cried out to the unknown presence.

Kagome and Rei happened to look up and standing on a wire way up in the air was a human looking girl. She appeared to have short black hair and wore some longish black, no finger gloves. A black ribbon was tied in a bow around her neck. Black knee highs covered around her feet, leaving her toes and soles bare. Her outfit consisted of wearing a black, short, with a white sash tied around her waist. In Kagome it was a rather revealing one-piece. A katana was attached to her waist on the left-hand side. Fanning out from her fingers there appeared to be many threads. She looked down at Kagome and Rei with a slightly mocking expression. "This," she lifted her fingers to indict the threads on them, " are my Kushi no Kago. Being only able to see them is going to be useless to the both of you."

Rei stared at the strange girl not caring about her threads. "Who are you?

With a smile on her face, the girl introduced herself. "I am the beautiful Yura of the demon-hair. However my name will not matter seeing as how you two will not love to tell others of me." Yura then moved her fingers and the threads of hair lifted both the girls. "What a shame that you are the one that broke the Shikon no Tama." She stated as she took the jewel fragment from Kagome. "Now be gone with you!" Was the last thing Rei and Kagome heard before the world went black because of the lack of oxygen to their brains.
