Chapter 2

The Meeting Across Time

When her head had finally stopped spinning and her stomach settled. Raven looked around Iam never going to do that again! She thought shaking her head. Raven started up out of the well, she peeked her head over the top and what she saw shocked her. Kagome was yelling at a young man with hair black as a ravens wing dressed in an outfit of red and what looked like antique sword at his side. Off to the side of those too was another young man with short black hair pulled into a small pony tail at the back of his head, he was dressed in a purple outfit, on his hand was some sort of neckless. The young woman at his side had her long black hair spilling down her back she was wearing a pink and white thing that looked like someone had mixed a robe and a dress. On her back was what looked like a huge boomerang. What was the most disturbing was the two tailed cat in her arms, or in till Raven saw that the little boy by her side had a tail and the feet of some type of animal. After that the old lady with an eye patch, red pants and a white shirt noticed Raven just as Raven noticed her.

"Who have ye brought with ye child?" the old lady asked in a kind voice.

"Huh?" Kagome paused to look in the direction the old lady pointed out "What?...How?"

"Oh, this is just what we need another distraction! As if you running back to your own time ever 2 seconds wasn't enough!!" the man with long black hair continued to rant and rave but no one paid him much mind.

" How did you get here!" Kagome yelled at Raven " I bet you stole a jewel shard from my back pack!"

While all of the yelling was going on the rest of the people who were there gathered around to look at this new comer. They all noticed the merest flicker of hurt cross her face before it went glasses smooth like a dolls, that look was enough to shut everyone up even the man with the long hair. Only Kagome didn't see the transformation she was to busy heaping blame and imagined wrongs upon the shoulders of this new girl.

" Kagome" Raven said in a voice that was devoid of any emotion at all " I stole nothing from you."

"Aw, Come on! How did you get though the well if you did not have a shard! Well out with it!"

" I do not have any thing of yours" That same emotionless voice drifted around them.

"Maybe it in her bag" the small boys suggested

Raven's hands tightened unconsciously on her bag clutching it closer. " Again I didn't take your jewel shard. Look and see for yourself."

Kagome looks from Raven to her own bag and back again " Alright I will but you had better have an apology ready when I come back !"

The little boy ran over to her bag with her as she pulled out the jewel shards right where she had always kept them "Uh, Kagome it looks to me like they are all there?" the little boy said.

"Uh, huh, yeah, your right Shippo they are all there" Kagoma siad as her face began to turn a brilliant shade of red. "Um Raven" She began as she walked back over to where the girl was standing .

Before she could stumble through an apology how ever Raven broke in " Its alright Kagome, No problem this dirty little foreigner their will just give back all she stole from you"

Raven dug into her small bag and pulled out a small brown paper bag with the super markets where Kagome's mom like to shop name across it. Raven placed it one the ground by Kagomes feet "I'll just leave it there wouldn't want to get any thing i might be carrying on you"

Then she turned and headed toward the trees. "Raven wait you can't stay out their it dangerous!" Kagome said trying desperately to back pedal out of the mess she made with her big mouth and jealousy.

Raven let out a hideous laugh " Kagome I have lived in places that make these woods look like some thing out of a daycare!" with that she turned and walked on into the woods.

"Oh, no, oh no," Kagome moaned over and over as she sat heavily on the ground. The other girl who had been silent through the whole thing came over. Kagome looked up " Oh Sango what am I going to do I think I just did a very bad thing"

" Well first of all what's in the bag Kagome?" Sango asked

Kagome reached for it and unrolled the top after she reached her hand in the bag she gave a hiccupping sob that had the others drawing closer. One by one she placed the items one the ground, a brush, comb, small mirror, two changes of clothes and a picture frame with Kagome's family in it all around the frame in cheerful colors said Welcome To The Family.

"What are all those things Kagome?" the young man with the pony tail asked

Kagome sighed " This is all the stuff my Mom bought Raven when she came to live with us."

Keada looked out at the forest "Children lets all go back to my hut a storm is fast approaching. Kagome can explain all there." with one last look in direction Raven had disappeared they fallowed Keada back to the hut.

The man with long black hair still stood looking out where the girl had gone. There was some thing familiar about the way she acted he couldn't quiet put his finger on it. "InuYasha! Are you coming?"

" Feh! Yeah!" He turned to look one last time at the spot where the girl had vanished.

Later

They all sat gathered around the fire Keada had built in the center of the room, waiting for Kagome to begin

" Remember that time last week I had to go home" she looked around. They all nodded "Well my Mom told me that we would be having some changes. That was when I found out that Raven would be living with us" she took a deep breath then hung her head "I'll be the first to admit that I was not very nice at all to her. I didn't want any one new coming into my family let alone anyone from another country. I had no idea what to say to her, she was all was so quiet and always kept to herself, even at school. But Mom wanted me to try" again she looked up but this time the only one still looking at her was InuYasha.

"Well I guess you all can probably figure out how thing went from there." she said softly

The silence in the small hut was deafening. Mirko sighed " Well I guess we had better go and fined her before anything happens and Kagome has to explain to the Mother why there is no more girl to try and get along with."

They filed slowly out of the hut into the night.

None noticed the pair of eyes fallowing them from the trees.
