I'd like to thank any and all of you who have read this. Unfortuantely I have a sad feeling that no one is actually reading this. I have been working my butt off on it and am now second guessing whether I should be putting forth all this effort. If you ARE reading this then PLEASE PLEASE review. I'd like to know if someone else will enjoy this as much as I do. Will I give up on it? Not likely...I am very interested on how this will turn out, and I hope someone else is too. :)

" I'm starving! I hope this Kaede lady has some food at her house," moaned Horo Horo.

" I hope for her sake that she doesn't! Otherwise you're eat her out of house and home!" laughed Yoh. The others found this quite funny as well except for Horo Horo, who was too busy trying to figure out what Yoh had meant.

" This is it! This is Kaede's!" cried Shippou with excitement. As they walked through what looked to be a garden, they came across an older woman. Shippou ran towards the woman and jumped into her arms. He swung his arms around her neck and cried, " Kaede! It's so good to see you! I want you to meet my new friends!"

Shippou introduced everyone to Kaede, and explained that they were looking for someone. After hearing this news, the woman spoke, " I believe the one ye are looking for is residing inside with the others." They walked inside to find Manta enjoying a dinner with his new friends.

" FOOD!" Horo Horo started filling his face. Through a mouthful of food he managed, "A Manna!"

" Hi Horo Horo," Manta smiled slightly.

" Good thing we rushed right over, because we thought you might be in danger or something," said Saiyaka jokingly.

" Saiyaka?" a girl's voice came from the corner of the room.

" Kagome?" Saiyaka ran over and put her arms around Kagome's neck and hugged her, "It's so good to see a familiar face!"

" Oh and what are we?" exclaimed Ryu.

" Oh please, I came with you guys, you don't count." Saiyaka and Kagome continued hugging each other while Manta explained what happened. After he had finished, Ryu looked at Manta and then at Shippou.

" Hey Manta, you're the same height as that fox kid," he turned to look at everyone else, " See! It's not my fault I got the wrong person…or fox person…or whatever…you guy-" Ryu was cut off by a high pitched yelp from where Kagome and Saiyaka were standing. They turned their gaze to see Miroku's hand suggestively rubbing Saiyaka's behind.

" Miroku!" cried Kagome and whacked him on the head with her fist, " You'll have to excuse Miroku he's a bit of a let-"

" My dear Saiyaka," Miroku had stood up and taken Saiyaka's hands in his own, pulling her close to him, " I would be honoured if you would bear me a son."

" WHAT?" Everyone cried, including Saiyaka. They were staring with gaping mouths in shock. Kagome put her head in her hands, and Sango glared at Miroku. Inuyasha got up, walked over to Miroku, grabbed him by the ear, and dragged him to the opposite side of the room.

" I'm sorry Saiyaka, Miroku's like that with every girl. How'd did you all get here?" Kagome asked.

Saiyaka held up the small green journal she had gotten from Kagome's room, " We had stopped at your house on our way to the airport to pick this up, before we knew it, we had fallen through the well in your yard, and ended up here."

" But I don't understand it," Kagome looked at Saiyaka and all her friends, " How were you all able to get through the well?"

" We're not too sure, we were hoping maybe one of you guys could explain it," answered Yoh. Kagome took a moment to think when suddenly she reached out towards Saiyaka's neck. She pulled out the necklace that Horo Horo had gotten for Saiyaka.

" I think I know how you got here," answered Kagome, " but where did you get this?"

Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha were now staring at the jewel hanging around Saiyaka's neck. Horo Horo couldn't understand how the jewelry that he had bought them could possibly bring them somewhere like this. They all sat down and had something to eat while Kagome explained about the jewel, about how she frequently went back and forth from the Feudal Era herself, and about other things such as the demon that they had heard earlier.

" So you were never really sick?" asked Saiyaka.

" No, I'm usually just spending my time here with Inuyasha," replied Kagome. Just then Inuyasha stood up.

" What is it Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.

" Kagome, do you sense a jewel shard?" asked Sango.

Kagome closed her eyes and concentrated, " Yes. There's 1…no there's 2!"

Inuyasha drew his Tetsusaiga and ran outside followed by Miroku and Sango. Kagome turned to face the group still sitting, " Just stay here, it'll be okay." With that she grabbed Shippou in her arms and ran after them.

Yoh stood up, " Come on Amidamaru."

"Yoh! What do you think you're doing?" cried Manta, who was perfectly comfortable letting Inuyasha take care of the demon on his own.

" Come on guys were shamans! We can't just sit here while they get to have all the fun! Amidamaru, Spirit Flame Mode! Into the sword!" There was a quick flash of light as Amidamaru integrated himself into the sword, then Yoh raced outside after the others.

" Wait for me!" cried Ryu, " Tokagero! Spirit Fla-" Ryu's voice trailed off as he ran outside.

" Alright Kororo, let's show them what we've got!" and Horo Horo chased after Ryu to join the others. Manta followed close behind him.

" BASON! SPIRIT FLAME MODE, INTO THE QUAN DAO!" a flash of red light emitted from Ren's Quan Dao, " IF YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST LEAVE ME HERE YOU'RE SERIOUSLY MISTAKEN!" he screamed as he ran after them.

Faust silently rose from where he was seated and calmly walked outside.

" Lady Saiyaka, shall we join the others?" asked Setsuna, her guardian ghost.

Saiyaka unsheathed her sword and smiled at him, " Let's go kick some demon butt."
