Disclaimer: Way back in the beginning....though I really wish I owned some of the characters....guess I'll just stick with my Inu plushie and Lord Fluffy plush. Plus I did create Lina so I can do whatever I want with her. grins evilly as Lina raises an eyebrow and slowly starts walking away.

Sorry it's taken so long to update, but I had a case of writer's block on this story over the holiday's.

Anyways....on with the story and like always please read and review.


Lina had finally relaxed her stance, much to Kurama's relief as Kagome said that one sentence that surprised them both. So she arrived at where ever they were from going through a well too. That was confusing and yet intriguing at the same time to the fox youkai. Before he could voice his curiosity, Lina spoke the question first.

"What do you mean you came through a well too? Where in the hell are we exactly?" She asked in an annoyed tone. Kurama sighed inwardly, hoping that she wouldn't end up acting like she did at the front of Genkai's temple. Why does this one girl seem so familiar? And why the hell can't I figure out how?

Maybe because I'm too busy trying to figure out other more important things..... He answered that youkai voice of his with the human one. Kurama had so many things going through his mind that it was very hard for him to find one thing and keep to it. First the mission Konema was sending them on, then Lina and how she seemed so familiar, and now this mystery of how they both ended up somewhere they didn't recognize after falling down a well.

Rubbing his temples slightly, he was so lost in thought that he completely missed out on what Kagome was saying to Lina in answer to her questions. He did however hear the last few words spoken and that brought him out of his thoughts. "....500 years in the past."

"What?! How is that possible? I mean it was just a well...nothing special about it at all," Lina paused a look of shock and confusion planted on her face. "Logan is so going to kill me when and if we get back....."

500 years into the past....this is not good. Kurama thought to himself as he looked back in the direction of the well. "Kagome, how can we get back to our own era?"

Kagome was trying to answer Lina's when he asked his which resulted in her being a bit annoyed, but both ignored it. "It is kinda hard to explain how it's possible. As for getting back, that's easy. Just go back through the well you came through. That's what I always do."

Looking to where Lina stood, he didn't even get the chance to stop her as she turned and ran back towards the well. Kurama turned and quickly followed after. He remembered that they crashed through the well, so he wasn't sure that it was still up in their time. Following behind her, they made it back to the well within a few minutes while they left the others standing in confusion. Leaning over the edge of the well, Kurama looked down into it's depths.

"A well? How can this have brought us here?" Kurama thought out loud to himself not really wanting an answer. He started to move over the ledge to jump down into the depths, but was beat to it by Lina as she jumped down. He was half expecting that light to surround her like it had when they fell the first time. Yet when it didn't, he sighed realizing that it wasn't going to be simple to get back to the others.

"I guess we're stuck here now, aren't we Kurama?" Lina called up to him as she stood at the bottom of the well. "At least until we figure out how to get back to the others. I'm sure your friends are about as worried as mine are."

Kurama nodded in agreement as he pulled out his rose whip and lowered it for her. As soon as she had a firm hold on it, she climbed back up and sat on the well ledge. Knowing that there were thorns on the whip, Kurama glanced at Lina's hands to make sure she wasn't hurt much by them. "I hope none of the thorns pierced your hands...."

"A few, but it's cool. I'll get over it in a few moments....so don't worry." She replied with a slight shrug. "Maybe we should at least head back to Shippo and the others. I did kinda run off in a hurry." Slipping off the ledge the two of them started to walk back towards the others. As before they didn't go very far before hearing the high voice of Shippo coming towards them.

"Hey! Why'd you two run off like that?!" Shippo exclaimed as he came into view, running towards the two. As he reached them, he jumped up onto Lina clinging onto her lightly. "Besides, what if you had gotten lost or something since you weren't exactly awake when we walked away from here?"

Kurama looked from the kit and girl to the rest of Shippo's group walking up behind. Kagome looked slightly annoyed while Inuyasha had the look of he didn't want to be there though didn't care one way or the other. Sango and Miroku shared the same type of look. They both held a look of concern and curiousness.

"I didn't need to be awake to know which way to go. All I had to do was follow Kurama's scent along with your scent Shippo," Lina explained which earned herself a quizzical look from Shippo and most of the others. "What? I feel like everyone at Bayville High just found out about my powers again….."

"I knew you weren't human…..and you two said not to worry about anything. What if she's just another one of Naraku's tricks? Did you ever think about that Shippo….Kagome?!" Came the gruff sounding yelling of Inuyasha. Lina felt Shippo move to her back as Inuyasha approached her with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Who is Naraku? And I am human…..just not a normal one. I'm a mutant." Lina stated coolly as she stood in a defensive stance ready to fight. She could tell that the term mutant was alien to everyone except Kurama as she saw the looks they gave to her. "Mutants are people born with certain abilities. Different powers for different mutants. Mine just happen to be more animalistic than others."

"Mutant? Is that another word for demon or something?" Miroku asked curiously.

"No, not that I know of. I didn't think demons exsisted...." Lina responded, not even noticing the intent look Kurama had now on his face.

"Yes demons exsist Lina. They have for a very long time. They even live in our time." Kurama chimed in. "It's starting to get dark. Why don't we camp and get rest? This way, Lina can tell you more about mutants and you can tell us about this Naraku person."

There was hardly any objection to this (except by Inuyasha who complained about wanting to find Naraku). As night wore on, the two newcomers exchanged information with the others. Kurama had more of his questions answered, though not the main ones he had. Lina on the other hand only ended up with more questions than she wanted.


That's the end of the chapter. I figured that was a nice stopping point and hopefully I can get the next chapter out soon. Please read and review.
