A/N: hey guys. Sorry I haven't updated my other story in so long, but I'm trying my darndest to come up with Ideas for it. I really hope you like this chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter Two

As the hut came into view, Mari was preparing herself for what she would find. She

wasn't really all that surprised when she was taller than Kagome. But she was thinking a

bout how much of a difference in height there would be for the others. "Kagome? How

much difference is there in height here?" she questioned. "Actually there's not as much

difference as I would have thought. One of my friends is actually taller than you." K

agome told her smiling. Mari started, they were at the flap for the hut. "Kagome, I don't k

now what to do. I can't speak more than a few words of Japanese. I don't know any of

the customs, and I'm not a very social person." She said backing away slightly, "And, I

look completely ridiculous in this uncomfortable outfit." She muttered, but Kagome just

laughed and pulled her into the hut. When Mari got a good look inside the hut she made

a good job of keeping her jaw from dropping. Okay, so she had been prepared for

inyasha, and even Miroku, to be hot, but she really wasn't prepared for the both of them

being Drop-dead-gorgeous. She wasn't able to keep her eyes from widening. Then she

looked over Sango, Shippou and Kirara. When she saw Kirara she felt her eyes start

watering, Kirara reminded her so much of her cat. 'I can't cry in front of these people,

they don't even know me. I know Inuyasha will think I'm weak if I do. What about the

others?' she thought to herself as she nodded her head to all of them. "How am I

supposed to talk to them?" She asked Kagome. "I'll just tell them what you tell me."

Kagome answered simply. Mari nodded. "My name is Mari." She said softly. Kagome

translated for all of them and they nodded to her. "This is Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha,

Shippou, and Kirara." Kagome told her. Mari nodded and sat down by the fire.

"Kagome, I need to tell you something, and it's better if you don't translate for them."

She said. Kagome nodded. And Mari started, "Kagome, I don't know how I got here, but

I know that I don't belong here. Were I come from this world that you live in, It's

written in a Manga. I already knew who you all were. I know parts of their pasts. I..I

think that Inuyasha and Miroku are dead sexy," Kagome laughed softly, "This is

something most girls in my world dream of. Being 500 years in the past in Japan. With

you guys. But what the stories don't say, is how you're torn apart from everything you

know. Everything you love. I feel so lost." Mari was trying her best not to cry.

Everyone in the hut had their attention focused on the girl thrown into their world by

chance. Mari quickly covered the tears and cleared her throat. "Does anyone here want

to spar with me?" she said, in a complete turn of subject. Kagome laughed and relayed

the message. Inuyasha said something in a harsh voice. Mari didn't understand most of

it but she did understand the word weak, even if it was in Japanese. She stood up quickly

and flipped Inuyasha off, then walked out of the hut. She could hear confused remarks

coming from inside and she could also hear Kagome's laughter. She smirked at herself

and walked to the tree line. She looked at the tree she was in front of and made quick

work of climbing it. After a few minutes of silence she heard someone push the reed flap

of the hut aside. Thinking it was Kagome she just sighed, "I'm not coming down yet."

She said softly. She was surprised, however when Inuyasha jumped into the tree next to

her. She jumped, "What the Hell!" she said, putting her hand over her heart. Inuyasha

just smirked and looked at her. He said something but Mari just gave him a bored look.

"I can't understand you, remember?" he just kept looking at her. She growled and

jumped down out of the tree, landing on her feet, and ran inside the hut. She turned to

Kagome, "How the hell do you deal with him?" she asked incredulously. Kagome just

laughed and shook her head. "I don't even know what he said to me. He just jumped

into the tree I was in and said something and smirked at me. He bugs the hell out of me."

Kagome just giggled, "He's always like that, but he grows on you." She had sort of a

shine in her eye. Mari remembered something and looked at Kagome, her features

softening. "You're in love with him aren't you Kagome?" she asked softly, looking

down. Kagome just looked at her, shocked. Mari just shook her head, "Never mind.

You don't have to tell me, but I'll listen if you ever need someone to talk to." She smiled

at kagome and walked back to the Sunset Hill (A/N: that's the hill were Kaede took her.)

when she got there she just laid there, staring up at the sky. She remembered all the days

when she was in her time at school, or otherwise and she would see couples. She'd be so

jealous and feel so lonely. She thought back to the present and realized something, she

had a purpose to be here, she wasn't going to see her home again, and she really didn't

care. As far as she was concerned, she was home. But she couldn't help but wonder if

her family actually even knew she was gone. She had read stories were the girl in the

story was really just in a virtual world waiting to come to another, but that was just to far

fetched. "Why am I here?" she asked her self out loud, then shouted, "Why am I

Here!!!" to the skies. She cursed herself as she felt tears coursing down her cheeks. She

wiped them away furiously. "If I keep crying like this, I'm gonna come off as weak."

She whispered to herself. She dried the remainder of her tears and stood up, taking a

deep breath of air, before starting back towards the hut. When she was out side out the

door, she took a deep breath and walked in, holding her chin high, and praying that it

didn't show that she had been crying. She sat down next to Miroku, coincidentally

forgetting about his wandering hand, and almost immediately stiffened as she felt a

massaging of her rear. She smirked inwardly and thought of a little bit of payback, she

groped him. He immediately stopped squeezing her but and his eyes went wide and his

cheeks flushed. He yelped and jumped up, walking out of the hut. Kagome looked at a

now smirking Mari. "What did you do to him?" She asked her. "I squeezed his ass. It

served him right." Mari responded, frowning. Kagome's eyes went wide and she started

to laugh so hard, she had tears in her eyes. Sango still looked confused. "Nani?" she

said. Kagome looked at her and explained what had happened. Sango's eyes

immediately went wide and she shook with mirth. She said something rapidly and almost

excitedly and Kari looked to Kagome for a translation. "She said that maybe now

Miroku will stop groping her." Mari laughed. She then remembered something she had

been meaning to ask. "Kagome, is there any sort of spell or anything that you guys could

do to me so that I could understand you all?" Kagome looked thoughtful for a moment,

then her face lit up, "There is! I just have to get the right things. I'll have it ready

tomorrow afternoon. It's a potion though, not a spell." Kagome smiled at her and whent

into a separating room to sleep. Mari was ecstatic. She fell asleep, waiting for morning.

When dawn broke, Mari was already at the Sunset Hill and watching the sunrise. When

she was finished watching it, she ran back into the hut. Kagome was already there,

finished eating her breakfast. "Kagome, is there a place were I can take a bath and….."

but she was broken off with a crash and a scream of "Hentai!" mari looked and saw

Miroku with a red mark on his face. Mari cleared her throat. All the occupants of the hut

looked at her. "Kagome, ask Miroku if he felt violated when I groped him." Kagome did

so and Miroku answered her. His answer, shocked Kagome. "He said that he did feel

violated. He wants to know why you did it." Mari looked at him with a disbelieving

face. "You can't be serious! If you felt violated then imagine how it feels to women

when you grope them! How do you think Sango feels if you grope her on a daily basis?!"

Mari shouted at him. Sango heard her name and blushed when Mari pointed at her.

Miroku just looked confused. Kagome translated word for word what mari had said.

Miroku had a look of dawning comprehension on his face and then went back to a solemn

expression. Kagome cleared her throat. "Mari, I got the potion done last night. I don't

think that you will ever need to take it again." Mari smiled at her and hesitantly took the

cup. She smiled before she drank it. "Cheers." She said, and downed it. It tasted

horrible! She felt dizzy. She smiled weakly before her world went black. When mari

awoke, she had a splitting headache. "Oh my head." She moaned. She opened her eyes

and looked around the room. They were all in there watching her. Even Inuyasha. "So

you're awake huh wench." He said smirking, knowing that she would be able to

understand him. "Fuck you asshole." She groweled at him. He looked shocked.

Kagome just laughed at him. Mari looked at kagome "So hows about that bath." She

said hopefully. Kagome laughed and grabed her backpack and Shippou, leading Mari

and sango to a hot spring.

A/N: so how was that. Don't forget to review. Bye guys.
