6 Act 3 : Vague Solution

"Speaking of, I still haven't gotten to that lecher yet. . ."

Kagome sighed irritably, "Come off it Inu Yasha, you can kill him later. He's still sleeping."

Sango spoke up, "It sounds like that Kikyou knew what was going to happen. . ."

"If I had gotten her face instead of the portal this might not of happened." Kagome's eyes began to fill with tears. Inu Yasha moved uneasily, "Hey now, I'd also probablly be in hell. . ."

"Like that would be a loss." The fox-boy chirped.

"Do you want squished like Myoga kitsune-chan?"

"Get off your high horse Inu Yasha."

"Grrrr. . ."

Ok, I personally have no clue what's going on. Something about a magic marble and a vortex. I know that we're here instead of where we're supposed to be, which I guess is Tokyo, in which this place is definatly not. I'm gonna leave that up to the smart people, figuring out what happened. I just wanna know how to get back.

While that Inu Baba, whatever his name is, was talking, I noted that we don't look like the other people here. And they seem to be giving very strange looks. Why, I wouldn't know. The houshi's waking up. Wonder why he's not sitting. AHHH, he's got a very good veiw from the Sango girl. I think me and him might get along. Unlike the Inu Yaba guy. He's got a knack for fighting though, I might see if anyone will need a sell. . .

Kenshin nudged my arm, "Two things Sano, no Zanza'ing with Inu Yasha, and do you see those two girls behind the tree?"

I was about to ask which tree, when I saw two girls peering from a giant tree about 50 yards back. One was holding a silver contraption with a shiny lense looking thing, the other was taking books, looking at them, looking at us, then saying something to the one with the silver thing.

The taller girl (with the silver thing), had blonde hair that fell to her shoulders and her face was a bit longer. She was wearing some kind of pants, they were blue, and a blue top with short sleeves with something written on it that I couldn't read.

The other girl, was wearing glasses that kept slipping down her nose, she had on a giant black baggy thing that almost covered her hands and equally giant pants that almost looked like a lumpy black version of a hakama. She had black hair pulled back in a low ponytail.

"They look odd. . ." I muttered. "Yes, they've been watching up for the past half an hour." "Yo, do you think I can't hear you??" Yahiko seemingly popped out of nowhere in between me and Kenshin. He looked up to where the girls were, "Anou, at least they're not a as ugly as busu there." I could've sworn I saw Kenshin's hand twitch towards his sword before Yahiko received a knock on the head with a bokken. Kaoru turned back to Kagome without a blink,

"Anyways, you think there might be another group coming?"

Kagome nodded, "Yes, Kikyou said that three worlds would touch the jewel at once. We're obviously two, so this is either the third, or another shard was thrown through time."

"Speaking of, how are we going to get the piece I lost back?" Kaoru stated weakly. Kagome and Sango had blank expressions, "Anou - -"

"Sumimasen."

Everyone looked up. The two girls had come over, the black haired one shyly speaking on the blonde's prodding forward.

"Um, me, and my friend, noticed that you don't seem to be from around here. . ."

The blonde looked from behind the silver thing, "And we were wondering if you needed help or directions." Her voice was much louder then the black haired girl's, who was blushing furiously. Kagome stood, brushing off her skirt, "Yes, in fact, this may sound like a silly question, but where exactly are we?"

The girls glanced at each other, "Anou, you're at California's Language Association in Negrogato." Kagome paled, "California?" The girls nodded. "What year is it?" "2004."

Kaoru's hand went to her mouth, "Oh my." Even Inu Geisha looked surprised. I raised an eyebrow, "That's quite a jump from 1879 missy." "That's quite a jump from the 1500's Kagome."

Sango added irritably.

Inu Fasha grumped, "And were is this California?" The blonde piped up, "A place called America Inu Yasha."

Oi! Did we tell them our names? Ahhh, something's really fishy now. Even I can tell when people know something they shouldn't. Kenshin studied the girls carefully, "My pardons if you don't mind, who are you?"

The black haired girl turned an even darker shade of red, "My. . name . . . yeah. . Bob. . ." She finally squeaked out before fainting dead away. The blonde stared at the limp body, nudged it with her foot. "My name is Stephanie, and she is Tess." Stephanie pointed to the other who seemed to be in a coma.

Man, I wonder if all Americans are like this.

"Ok, 'Stephanie', how the hell did you know my name." Inu Yasha growled. I could've sworn I saw her go starry eyed before she said vaguely, "Heh, uh yeah about that. . . we're oracles. We know who you are and everything that has happened to you. Oracles. .. hee. . hee."

INTERRUPTION # 1

Stephanie: Yeah, expect to see a lot of us in this fanfic.

Tess: I'm actually the author, I just had put us in here. Please don't think as this as a down play in the loveliness of the story, it was getting too serious for my liking.

Stephanie: From this point on we're mostly gonna be in the back ground snickering and acting wildly jealous of the fact WE CAN'T HAVE THEM!! (cries)

Tess: But we play an important part, we'll be making these poor out-of-date fashion statements into fashionable lookable type people (cackle)

Stephanie: And just to let you know for no real reason, as tough as Tess acts, I could beat the crap out of her

Tess: shrinks back Heh, heh pulls collar Yeah, anyway, don't be angry at the fact I've decided to go on teeny-bopper instincts and insert ourselves in here.

Stephanie: BUT ANYWAY!!

Together: BACK TO THE STORY!!

END INTERRUPTION #1

Sanosuke:

If they have a seizure I'm outta here. Kagome smiled sweetly, "Say, since you supposedly know everything about us, would you mind giving us a place to stay until we have to leave?" Stephanie eyed dog-boy before replying, "Yep, sure why not, we have nothing better to do."

The other girl seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "No no Steph, we can't, what if the land lord finds out we have a bunch of people that aren't paying rent. And you know Mason won't exactly be happy about having to cook for --" She paused and counted on her fingers, "12 people, and --"

Stephanie turned Tess by the collar and slapped, "Mason's such a perv, he would be too busy gawking to actually cook, and if they keep it down. . ."

Inu Washa threw his hands up, "Nope, won't work." I shook my head, "You'll have to find a different place." Kenshin nodded his agreement, "Considering this particular gathering I doubt there will much quiet de gozaru."

A sudden brilliant idea hit me, which is a rather rare thing, "Say, could you tell your land lord that you're having some kind of party??" The two girls looked at each other, shrugged.

"Close enough." Stephanie said.

Tess stood, dusting invisible dirt off her pants, "Ok then, to our place!"

Kagome's mouth seemed to hit the ground when we walked into the two Americans house. Or, A - PART - E - MENT. Something like that. Do I really care about small details? Anou, the A - PART - E - MENT is pretty big, with a something that you can sit on against a large window, a kitchen to the immediate right of the door, and a hallway to the left.

There are decorations that seem to all be Chinese related. Obsessive? I think so. Anou, except for the two goldfish sitting on a counter outside the kitchen.

The two girls talked for a moment before the blonde came over. "Please, make yourself comfortable, but, try not to break anything." She turned to Kagome, "Say, could you show them the things they wouldn't recognize? Me and Tess need to take care of a few things."

Kagome nodded, "Sure, no problem."

Yeah, no problem. Inu Katta seems puzzled by a giant white box with food in it and Kenshin is inspecting some kind of miniature model of the contraptions in that lot.

Oi! What happens when I twist this knob??
