Disclaimer: Way back in the beginning of the story.

A/N: This whole chapter is mainly going to be Lina's PoV. Her thoughts and everything on what has just happened to her and what could possibly happen later on until she gets back to the present time. Enjoy and Read and Review please.


As morning broke out over the group, Lina hadn't been able to get any sleep after learning the things she did. Demons? This is way too much to deal with. I mean I'm used to taking on the Brotherhood, not demons that are far more powerful than those flunkies. Why didn't I just listen to that stupid feeling I had when I woke up the other day? Why didn't I just keep myself locked in my room?

Because you're curiosity got the better of you. You wanted to see the new students and get away from Summers. Came the answers to her questioning thoughts. And maybe it was because that stupid feeling wasn't telling you not to come....maybe it was telling that something was going to happen that you had to be here for....Destiny or fate. Whatever you wish to call it.

Pushing herself up so that she was standing, she noticed that Inuyasha and Kurama were awake. During the later part of the night, the others had fallen asleep while Inuyasha and Kurama opted to keep watch over the camp. She gave a slight wave of her hand as Kurama looked in her direction. Lina took a few steps away from the group, but stopped as Kurama stood and made his way towards her.

"I'm going for a walk. Yesterday was a bit much for me and I need to clear my head a little," She explained before any words could be spoken to her. Stepping past Kurama as he nodded slightly, she headed off towards the woods. Behind her, she could hear Kurama explaining what she was doing to Inuyasha as he questioned where she was going.

What would Logan do in this situation? While she walked, she let her thoughts wander over different people and how they would be handling this. Logan would probably be fighting with Inuyasha for the first twenty to thirty minutes before calming down enough to listen to the others. That would be kind of interesting to see. Summers and Miss Popularity would be doing what they always do. He would be ordering everyone around, while she got everyone to fall all over her and do what she wants. All the while the two would be hanging all over each other. Kurt would be making jokes....everyone can rely on him to do that. Kitty would be freaking out for the first few minutes and then trying to redo everyone's clothes and hair. Rogue would probably be doing what I'm doing.....thinking what everyone would do if they were here.

As time went on, Lina's thoughts strayed, much like her wandering through the woods, over the members of this group and Kurama. Much like him, she had that odd feeling that she knew him from somewhere yet she couldn't place it. This group doesn't seem too bad....most of them remind me of people I already know. So why does this Kurama guy seem so familiar? I get the feeling I know him from somewhere....but I can't. I've never met him before in my life....true much of my life is a big blank before Xavier's.

Shaking her head to get out of her thoughts, she felt like she was doing nothing but questioning things and others....something she really didn't want to do at the moment. She reached up and brushed a few strands of her hair out of her face as she leaned against a tree. "This is just great….I'm stuck 500 years in the past where I've been informed demons exist here and in the present….not to mention a red haired guy who seems way too familiar and who seems to know more than he lets on."

Lina wanted to vent her frustrations on anything, but instead she slid down to the ground. Her eyes closed as she tried to figure out what she should do. Or more importantly what Xavier would be advising his student to do. Despite the act of being a person who didn't care what others thought she should do, Professor Xavier was like a father to her. A person that showed he cared what happened in her life when no one else seemed to. So when he had an idea on what to do, she listened and usually tried to do just what he suggested. Yet now she was without his guidance or even Logan's, another person she listens to yet she doesn't show it with him.

Groaning, she stands realizing she is most likely sounding like Jean in her own thoughts. "I don't need their advice….I can figure this out on my own."

She looked down at her wristwatch to find out how long she had been wandering around and sighed when she saw it had been about an hour. "Guess I should get back to the others."

Only when she turned to go back, she didn't see the path she had taken nor did she have the others scents. She had walked off their path and taken a completely different one. Part of her knew she should just stay where she was so the others could find her, yet she didn't. She started walking in the direction she thought she came from.

The sun shone brightly through the trees as she went on in that direction. Her tracks stopped though when she caught scent of something she had never smelled before. It wasn't a nice smell and it made her nose crinkle from catching it. Her nose crinkled even further when she caught the scent of blood mingled with the scent. Against her better judgment she followed the scents, going slowly at first until the blood began to over power the other scent. What the hell is this scent?

Going at a run now, she was catching up to whatever it was as a high scream went through the air. That made Lina run even faster as she let her nails extend out to claws. A short while later, she came to a stop behind a rather large strange looking creature who was trying to get to a little girl and another small yet equally strange looking creature.

"Hey...ugly! Why not pick on someone who is at least bigger than those two?!" She yelled to get the things attention, which worked all too well. Lina prepared herself for a fight as the ugly creature seemed to smirk and comes towards her.

"Fine...you'll make a better meal than those two, human." Realization hit Lina as the creature approached her. This must be a demon like the others were saying the night before. For such a big demon, he moved quickly, she had barely enough time to back flip out of the way and let her feet hit him in the chin.

The demon grunted as it fell back a few steps before rushing towards her again. She let him make contact with her as she fell back to the ground, using her arms to keep his snarling mouth from her. Bringing her knees up, she pushes against him with her feet to send him off of her and behind her. She heard him contact with the tree that wasn't that far behind as she jumped up and moved over to him. Putting a foot to his throat, she looks down at him. "You aren't as tough as you look....either that or you're just really stupid."

Her gloating came a bit too early as the demon grabbed her ankle and pulled her off her feet. She landed with a thud on her back and groaned as her head hit the ground shortly after. When she opened her eyes, the demon was sitting on her keeping her pinned to the ground. He brought up one of his large hands and brought it down quickly across her face. That warranted a growl from her as she clawed at his form, though those seemed to have little effect on him. When she saw he was fixing to hit her again, she braced her head with her arms. After a few moments though, she felt a very strong heat and heard a animal like howl. Moving her arms, she saw the demon fall over, except now he looked very burnt. Sitting up, she looks around for the source of the fire yet she only finds the little girl and strange little creature she guessed was a demon.

"Are you okay miss?" The little girl came up to her, looking at her curiously.

"I could ask the same thing of you...." Came Lina's response.


A/N: This is the end of my chapter. I know it kind of drug on and everything, but I wanted to at least give a bit of depth to Lina. And I'm sure that most will figure out who the girl and creature are that Lina has just met.....so anyway please R&R.
