Chapter 2

Late Night Talk Show

Mimi continued to run through the forest. She knew if her Mom found her she'd be grounded forever. She wasnt going to be treated like a normal girl. She wasnt going to be yelled at. She belonged here. She knew she did. But her mom idnt understand that. Just like her mom didnt understand when she'd discovered she had weird witch powers. Mimi finally stopped but when she did Inuyasha jumped out and grabbed her.

"Mimiru! Whats the matter with you?" He asked her. Tears leaked from her eyes.

"I wanna stay here with you. I dont wanna go to school! I dont wanna get picked on for being differnet! I dont wanna get in trouble for defending myself when other people attack me!" Mimi yelled the buried her face in her dads chest to cry. Inuyasha knew he'd done wrong by letting Josh stay here. Mimi really was like his double. She was arrogant, strong-willed, hot headed, and she had a major temper. Just like her dad. But from what Inuyasha had heard, Mimi had always gotten in trouble for beating up bullies who were picking on younger kids. Always helping the ones who cant help themselves. Again like her dad.

Inuyasha picked Mimi up and carried her back to the village. Josh was more like Kagome, Inuyasha realized. He didnt like fighting, he was quiet, and he wasnt that good with a sword either. So Inuyasha decided to let the kids switch plces for a while. As long as Kagome was cool with it. He really didnt want to get sat.

About midnight, back at the village, Inuyasha told Kagome about what he had decided about the kids and Kagome thought that was a cool idea. So the next day they'd break the news to the kids. To bad they'd both been listening to the whole conversation.The two kids who were in another room of Kaede's cottage "sleeping" looked at each other. They could tell by the expression on each others faces they need to talk about stuff so the quietly snuck out the window in the room and headed for a grassy field just outside the village.

When they got there they just stared at the sky in silence for a while until Mimi broke the silence.

"So Josh, what's it like around here?" Mimi asked. She'd taken her hat off which never happened and her hair was gently blowing in the wind.

"Aww it's ok I geuss. Dad's always pushing me to get stronger, but I hate it." Josh said. "I would much rather live your life." Mimi just looked at the ground.

"Looks like we're both living lives we hate. I dont look like everyone else and I get picked on and I've even got thrown out of a school for fighting too much." Mimi said laughing. She wasnt ashamed of her strength. Not many girls could put 7 high school kids in a coma in under 5 minutes. Josh just kinda looked t Mimi weird.

"Wow. Dad'll love you. Looks like you got more demon power than I did." Josh said smiling. Mimi noticed he seemed glad of that.

"Anything I should know about this era?" Mimi asked looking at her brother. He smiled.

"Yeah, this place is crawling with demons, so be careful and watch your back." Josh said. Mimi knew she could take anything this place threw at her. She wasnt a wimp and defeat wasnt in her vocabulary.

"Ha no problem. Any of Dad's enemies I should know about?" Mimi asked smileing and laying back in the grass with her hands behind her head.

"Yeah, there's Uncle Sesshomaru. Dad fights with him all the time and then there's Koga but he's not really an enemy just a rival." Josh said. Mimi nodded. 'Uncle Sesshomaru huh?' Mimi thought, 'Wonder why dad would fight his own brother...' Mimi's ears twitched. She heard someone behind her. Someone was walking towards them. She flew up.

"What's up, Mimi?" Josh asked. She told him to shush. She didnt see anything and neither did Josh. Suddenly Josh felt a hand on his shoulder. He grabbed the hand and threw it over his shoulder.

"Josh! What was that for? It's me!" the shadowed figure said. Josh looked stunned for a moment until his eyes asjusted to the figure. It was his best friend, Mitchel, Mirouku and Sango's 15 year old son. Josh laughed. Mimi jut sat down all ticked.

"Dont sneak up on me like that Mitch. You know I dont like surprises." Josh said still laughing. He heard rustling in the tree behind them. He turned to see a girl running towards them. She was about Mimi's age maybe younger.

"Mitchel! Wait until I tell mom you left me back there in the woods!" The girl said. She hd short black hair pulled back in two small pigtails. Mitchel was laughing.

"Aw shut up, Selema." Mitchel said. Then he looked over at mimi who was staring at him with hateful eyes.

"Hey babe, whats up?" he said scooting closer to her. She flexed her claws in his face.

"Come any closer and these will be in your gut." Mimi said. He backed off. Selema giggled. Mimi stood up and started to walk back to the village.

"Where are you going?" Josh yelled to Mimi.

"To bed. You should go too. You got a nig day tommorrow school boy." Mimi said running back to the village. She didnt go back into the house. She didnt like sleeping on the floor. She climbed up into the tree out side the hut and fell a sleep in one of the top branches, dreaming of her new life.
