A Journey in a Different Time
-Chapter 5-
Meeting the Demon Koga?

Since the venom in her body was all gone, Michelle has been happy and free as a butterfly. She still had her hair in a ponytail, but now she's thinking on putting it down. Not right now...she's not done on enjoying the moment.

She was running on ahead happy as ever to be free. Everybody followed her. Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Shippo were smiling at her but Inuyasha ignores her completly. (_ Man! He must really hate her!)

Michelle ran to a nice green hill and stopped at the top to see the view. The wind was blowing in her hair but she didn't feel any movement in her hair. So she took the scrunchy out of her hair and put the scrunchy back on around her right wrist. Now she felt her hair moving along with the wind. It felt so good to feel so much wind...

Kagome caught up to her and stood right next to her. Her arms were behind her and she was smiling. She turned her head to Michelle who was smiling as well.

"Feel better?" Asked Kagome.

"Better then ever!" Answered Michelle. "Maybe I want to practice on shooting the arrows...It would be better to do that!"

"I agree! You need to aim better!"

Michelle smiled at her. But all she wants to know is how she can put the pink glow around the arrow like Kagome. She did saw it was because of the miko powers but Kagome is not a miko, is she? Michelle has been training to become a miko for a year now, she trained everyday to make sure she has reached her limit.

But the thought of becoming a miko made her think about her family. She's only been there for ONE day. And her mom doesn't even know where she is! So she asked Kagome.

"Kagome? This just came to thought, my mom doesn't know where I am! She might think I have been kidnapped or something! She's going to freak out and call the police if she doesn't know where I am!"

"Relax! My mom probably told her already when they both noticed you were gone!"

"You mean your mom actually lets you come here?"

"Yup!"

"No wonder you hardly come to school...I have heard that you had all sorts of diseases! But it was actually this!"

"Yeah but it has to be a secret! Once we go home, you can't tell anyone!!"

"I won't! I can see why this place has to be secret...they won't be able to survive in a place like this!!" They both laughed when they imagine the other people being here. They would just get killed in an instant!

Sango was trying to ignore Miroku most of the time because of her having a crush on him. Miroku just stared at Kagome and Michelle and that made Sango jealous. (_ A little warning to guys...watch out if your girlfriend is ever jealous...they can make a rampage!)

Shippo really likes Michelle as much as he likes Kagome. They both are like...the same. Nice, wearing the same clothes, almost the same hair but Kagome's hair is more out and longer, while Michelle's has short hair and is not really out. (_ If you all know what I mean.)

Kagome...she was thinking that if she should take the food out of her backpack again for dinner. She hardly has any food from her world and she can't go back to get more. So maybe she should skip her food and eat the food here. But what kind...Wait! She feels a presence of a jewel shard coming. Oh no...it can't be!

"Ah guys? I sense a jewel shard coming this way," said Kagome.

That got Inuyasha off the chart. He ran to her with a hated look on his face. "You don't mean it's HIM!?" Asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah, it's him again!"

Michelle looked at them and didn't know what they were talking about. Inuyasha saw Michelle looking at them and gave her a look. A don't-look-at- us-and-don't-ask-what-we're-talking-about look! That scared Michelle and she looked at the sky and then back at Sango, Miroku and Shippo.

She saw a gust of wind coming from behind them and it was heading towards her, Kagome and Inuyasha. Before she knew it, the gust of wind disappeared and what came to be the gust of wind was a guy with black hair, with a tail like a wolf? That wasn't right to her at all!

He held Kagome's hands in his.

"Kagome! I'm so happy to see you again!" Said the guy.

"Why are you here, Koga?" Asked Kagome.

"What else!? To take you with me for you to get away from that mutt!"

"Koga!" He looked down and realized he was standing on Inuyasha's head once again. Inuyasha was on his hands and knees, waiting for Koga to get off as soon as possible. "Can you...GET OFF!?" Inuyasha used his claws to get rid of Koga, but he jumped off of his head before Inuyasha land his attack on him.

"[His name is Koga? He's...wierd!]" Said Michelle. She was waiting for the guy to notice her so he can question her too. That's what people do these days, they question people.

Koga turned his attention to Michelle. She flinched when she saw his face. She noticed his ears...she knew he was demon. But the thing was she wasn't use to demons yet.

"Kagome...who is that girl?" Asked Koga.

"Her name is Michelle, she's traveling with us to look for the shards," answered Kagome, she gave Michelle a smile to tell her to calm down, Koga won't hurt her.

Koga walked up to Michelle to get a good look at her. He leaned forward to get even a better look at her. But she leaned back whenever he leaned over to her. He sniffed her...what is she? A twin sister to Kagome? She almost looks like her but different.

"Uh..." was all Michelle could say to Koga.

"Well, I can tell you're not my enemy at least!" Said Koga. He stood straight, so did Michelle. "Well?"

"Huh?"

"Aren't going to say anything!?"

"Not...really."

"You just did. Kagome, can I talk to you in private?"

"There's no way you're going to do that, Koga!" Angered Inuyasha.

"Relax..." Koga pushed Kagome to go behind a tree. His hands was on her shoulders just to push her. When they were behind the tree, he moved her to make her face him. "Maybe it's a bad idea to hang around that girl."

"Why would you say that?" Asked Kagome.

"Something is not right about her. If she doesn't talk much then you shouldn't be hanging around with her. She could be planning something to ditch you guys."

"What do you mean?"

"I just smell demon blood on her, that's all!"

"Demon blood? Hmm...Kagura did mention Naraku sending a demon to follow me to find someone who was like me. That demon was suppose to have a Shikon jewel shard. Maybe she somehow killed the demon in her sleep or something."

"Maybe the demon was commanded to kill itself!"

"Maybe when we find a hot spring, the blood smell will wash away."

"Hopefully...but just take my advice...watch out for her. She could be planning on turing against you all."

He took her hand and pulled her back to the others. Inuyasha growled at him when he saw he was holding Kagome's hand and when he walked passed by him. It's like Kagome wants to get back at him for being so rude ever since someone came and interfere with their journey.

Koga left Kagome by Sango and was left with a confused look. Kagome's eyes followed Koga, who was walking to Michelle. He grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her to the same place he dragged Kagome to. After when they were completly behind the tree, Koga pushed her against the tree. Probably to show off a little anger.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Said Michelle.

"I don't care! I'm just worried about you!" Said Kouga.

"What?"

"Not that kind of worried about you, I'm worried you might hurt Kagome!"

"So you're saying you're actually more worried about her! I'm not going to do anything! I don't even know what you're talking about!!"

"Once you get use to it, you'll understand!!"

"Shut up!"

"You can't tell me to shut up!!"

"Didn't I tell you to shut up!!"

Koga was getting angry, so he grabbed her arm hard and dig his nails in her arm. "I'm kind of getting angry right now! Why are you getting pissed by me!?"

"That part is none of your business! So let go, wolf-boy!"

"Don't call me wolf-boy!!"

"Then let go demon boy!!"

Koga growled and just threw her to the ground. He was really pissed at her. Michelle didn't want to get up from the ground. She didn't want to see his face...didn't want to see how angry this demon is.

Koga put his hand on her shoulder and twirl her around so she can face him. Now her back was facing the ground and her face is facing Koga.

"You're....stubborn!! You know that!? I'm getting sick and tired of you!"

"I don't care! You're the one who tries to beat up someone you haven't even get to know yet!!"

*~*~

"What was Koga talking about, Kagome?" Asked Sango. Kirara was on her shoulder and Sango...she just wanted to know what was going on. "Did he do something romantic or something like that?"

"No..." answered Kagome.

"Then why did he wanted to talk to you?" Asked Miroku.

"He keeps telling me to stay FAR AWAY from Inuyasha! He's doing that a lot these days-"

Kagome was cut off by the two people that were...fighting? Somehow, they all heard punchs and some kicks from Koga and Michelle but they couldn't see them actually fighting and it didn't sound good. Kagome thought she heard Koga shouting out something: "MAN YOU'RE SUCH A PAIN-IN-THE-BUTT!! AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"

Then they heard Michelle's voice. "EXCUSE ME!! YOU ASK WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!! YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE WIERD EARS! WOLF- BOY!!"

"STOP CALLING ME WOLF-BOY!!"

"WHY!? YOU'RE A WOLF ANYWAY, WOLF-BOY!!"

"HOW CAN YOU TELL I'M A WOLF!!"

"BECAUSE OF YOUR TAIL BAKA!!"

Man things are getting pretty rough with those two. (_ Wait until you read what happens later in the next couple of chapters.)

After they heard the punching and kicking stopped, they waited for Koga and Michelle to come out of the bushes. They were scared of them now...especially Koga.

Then they heard some rustling in the bushes. Maybe one of them is coming out of the bushes. They saw Michelle came out first but they were shocked on what happened to her. There was some cuts on her legs and she was limping.. Her right arm was hanging like it had no strength in it to move, so her left hand was holding on to the right arm.

They had no idea what to say to her...actually they wanted to wait until Koga came out of the bushes so they can talk to both of them at the same time. When Koga came out of the bushes, they were shock too.

Koga had all kinds of bruises on his arms and legs. Did she really beat him up that bad? When Koga saw Kagome, he smiled at her with his mouth open. But she was shocked...one of his fangs were missing. She knocked his tooth out too? Before they got over their shock, Michelle and Koga stood straight to face them correctly.

"W...what happened to you guys?" Asked Shippo. He had a little trouble asking because of the shock.

Michelle smiled and put her hand on her forehead. "We just got off the wrong foot so we beat each other up for it," answered Michelle.

"After we were tired and out of strength, we made peace and decided to come out," explained Koga happily.

"Are you sure you guys made piece?" Asked Miroku. "It looks like you're both are very pissed at each other."

From the look on their faces, yes. Sango thought this was way too wierd, but then she remembered that Michelle did take self-defense class...but did she also take martial arts class to increase her strength? Maybe not...sometimes anger makes you stronger then ever.

"We're fine...just fine!" Said Michelle. "Just need to relax for a little bit!"

Kagome ignored all of this and walked up to Koga to make sure he was alright. She touched one of the bruises on his arm when her eye caught sight of it. Koga backed away from her.

"Ow! That hurts!!" Said Koga.

"Sorry Koga! Do you need any medical items to heal those bruises?" Asked Kagome.

"Not really! I'm a demon, my wounds heal fast! I'll catch you later Kagome! Bye!" Koga has left there sight, but that left Michelle an angry look at him. While she see's the gust of wind going away, she thinks of the fight she has gotten into.

Sango put her hand on her forehead to be relieved. At least Inuyasha and Koga didn't start off like Michelle and Koga. But she was right about one thing. "[I was right....letting out her anger just makes her stronger...strong enough to beat a demon. That's for sure!]" Said Sango.

"How can you survive a beating from Koga?" Asked Shippo to Michelle.

"I had worse then that! This is just a fine, fair fight I have got into. This was easy to survive from," answered Michelle.

"You mean you have been into other fights?"

"Yeah, one of them I actually had a trip to this healing place!" Since they don't have hospitals in the Feudal Japan Era, she decided to call it a healing place. At least they won't get confused about it.

"Michelle? Do you need your bruises fixed?" Asked Kagome. She looked irritated for some reason. Mabye because she got into a fight with Koga the first time she met him like what Inuyasha did to Koga.

"Ah...no thanks! I think I can manage. So, why don't we go on ahead! LET'S GO!!" Shouted Michelle.

"[I wish she can stop showing off!]" Said Inuyasha.

He's the one that walked up ahead and then the others followed him. He didn't know who he was pissed at the most. Michelle or Koga...or Naraku! Right now...it's Michelle because she is with them right now. But if Koga or Naraku comes to the scene, he forgets about that twit and concentrates on them.

But right now....he wants to ignore her for awhile...but then again he always ignores her. Ever since she came here she's been nothing but a show off...but that's what he thinks. Getting more attention, getting a bite from the tarantula to put venom in her body, and get in a fight with Koga. Only HE was suppose to get in a fight with Koga.

But maybe that would change if she stays around them!
