Disclaimer: Way back in the beginning of the story.


Lina had finally managed to pull her hand from Shippo's as he lead her along trying to find his friend Kagome. Every once in awhile she would glance over to Kurama, only to find him smiling politely at her, though she could always see a deep look of thought on his face. Shippo was constantly asking her questions about several things, but mainly her clothing. Something he seemed to think was weird.

"You clothes are like Kagome's, but different. Like her's aren't black or have skulls on the bottom part or show so much of her arms with the top." Shippo's voice was curious and had the pitch of a boy his age. Lina couldn't help but think he was very cute and adorable, though she had to resist the urge to reach out and mess with Shippo's ears and tail. "She also doesn't wear shoes like that...."

"They're just clothes Shippo....everyone wears different kinds of clothes it's no big deal..." Lina stated while brushing some of her hair out of her face. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the monk, Miroku, approaching them. A slight laugh past her lips as she noticed how Kurama went to lengths to avoid the monk and likewise. "Yes, Miroku?"

"Ah....nothing of importance. I was just wanting to get to know Shippo's new lovely friend." He put on one of those oh-so-charming smiles that really reminded Lina of Pietro. "Like for instance, what brought you here?"

"Not sure....the last thing I remember is fighting my father and then getting thrown into Kurama. Could you please drop the fake charming act? It isn't gonna work on me." Shaking her head a little, she looked away from him as Miroku dropped the smile with a slight sigh.

"Alright....then please consider this," Miroku moved in front of her and took a hold of one of her hands with both of his. "Would you like to bear my children? You're a very beautfiul girl and I'm su-"

He didn't even get to finish his sentence as Lina's free hand lifted up and slapped him across the face. "I don't wanna have your kids! I don't even know you!"

Sango was walking up to them and laid a hand on Lina's shoulder. "If it helps...it asks that of everyone pretty girl he sees. He even asked your friend when they met."

Hearing that Lina started laughing. The mental image of that happening was just too much for her. To her that would be like that happening to Logan. "Seriously, he asked Kurama that....well that explains why those two are avoiding each other."

"It wasn't that funny Sango." Miroku stated as he rubbed his red cheek while turning away from the two young women with a sad look on his face. He started to continue on their way, but stopped as everyone heard a couple of people approaching them.

"Where the hell did Shippo run off to now?"

"I don't know. Shippo?!"

Lina watched Shippo grow eager and run off towards the voices. "Kagome! There you are."

She was half expecting to find his sister or someone like that. Meaning she was surprised when he showed back up with a normal looking girl carrying him. Now she understood why Shippo was mentioning her clothes in comparsion to his friend's. She was wearing a school uniform much like Kurama's....thinking like that brought Lina to the conclusion that maybe this Kagome knew exactly where they were.

The others didn't react to Kurama and herself like Kagome did. Her eyes grew a little wide as if she were surprised to see anyone else around. "Who are these two? Where did they come from?"


"Allow me to introduce the two of us. My name is Kurama and this is Lina. We climbed out of a well that used to be on the land of a temple though we do not seem to be anywhere near that temple anymore." Kurama interjected before Lina could answer. He could sense that this girl had power that had him curious and like the kit he could tell not from the other man's ears that he was a youkai, but from his scent and aura. "Shippo found us by accident when he was looking for you. Then as luck would have it, his other friends found him just before you did."

The silver haired young demon that came with Kagome stepped closer as if inspecting the two. "You look like normal people...but you don't have a human scent on you. Not either of you...."

He was already drawing out a blade which did not sit well with Kurama. Reaching up to his hair he pulled out a single rose, resulting in a quizzcal look from the silver haired youkai. "Do you plan on defending yourself with a measley little rose against my Tetsusaiga?"

"INUYASHA! Don't attack them...they aren't mean. They haven't hurt me...though Lina did slap Miroku, but he deserved it." Shippo yelled at Inuyasha while jumping from Kagome to the ones he was defending. "They helping find 'Gome. So don't hurt them."

"Why are you defending us, Shippo? He's right. We aren't normal humans. We lied to you about that." Kurama asked curiously as he looked to the little kitsune. "Though being a kitsune, you might have already picked up on that."

"Move it Shippo. You heard him....they're probaly working for Naraku." Inuyasha said as he picked Shippo up to move him out of the way. Kurama could see the others standing in a tense manor and Lina readying herself for a fight.

"Inuyasha. Stop it. You don't know that and Shippo is right. They haven't done anything to hurt us or attack us," Kagome said as she put a hand on the young youkai's shoulder while taking Shippo from him. "Let's at least hear their story before jumping to conclusions."

She looked to Kurama and Lina with a curious look, yet Kurama couldn't help but think she was looking at them for answers he could not give to her. It was that or she was trying to figure out what exactly they were. This was going to something to remember since he wasn't sure how to start out their little tale. "It's hard to explain really. Though I suppose to give you the basic explanation would be easier, wouldn't it Lina?"

"I guess so. I mean what's so hard about saying we fell down a well one place and ended up somewhere else..." She still hadn't changed her stance. Kurama assumed she would once everything calmed down, but since he didn't know her, even if he thought he did, he wasn't sure. He noticed that Kagome seemed to know a bit about what Lina was talking about because her face changed to show more curiousity.

"I thought that only I and Inuyasha could go through the well."


This is where I leave it for now. I know it's kind of short, but I promise to make it up to you. Also expect to see Logan, Hiei, and Yusuke to show up soon.

Before I forget...one of my reviewers pointed out that I was spelling Yoko Kurama's name wrong. True most people spell it Youko, but it can be spelt the way I have been spelling it. I got the spelling from the offical site from Funanimation and from the TCG, so either spelling is correct.
