Mia's POV

When we got back to the house, everyone went their separate ways. We were going to pack things that we thought we would need and then head over to Kagome's house. I went to my room and grabbed an old hiking backpack. I filled it with a couple of shirts, my bathing suit, underwear, one extra pair of pants, baggy black ones almost like the ones I had on at the moment, and socks. My bag was filled three fourths of the way so I got my walkman and a couple of my favorite CD's. There was still a little bit of room left, so I headed down to the kitchen. I grabbed some packages of Ramen and threw them in there. I then got two water bottles and filled them up and put them in my pack. I knew that I wouldn't have to pack a pot or a pan or whatever because Kurama would take care of that. He was the chef, not me. I grabbed two candy bars and put them in the side pockets of my pack. Now, it was truly full. I tested the weight on my back and it barely felt like anything so I knew that I would be traveling easy. There was only one thing left for me to get and that was my katana. I grabbed it and its sheath and tied it around my waist. Now I truly was complete. I went to the living room and waited there for everyone to finish up.

After about waiting for five minutes, Kaze came in all packed up and ready. She sat down on the side of the couch.

"So…how are things going between you and Hiei?" I asked her

"You know, curiosity killed the cat," she said with a smile.

"And satisfaction brought it back. You two seem pretty happy together. Should we be expecting a little Kaze or Hiei running around any time soon?" I laughed until I got hit with a pillow.

"No. I am making Hiei take it slow. We have gone pretty far already but no sex. I don't think that I am ready for that yet," Kaze confessed

"Well, that is very…noble of you, preserving yourself and all. Has Hiei claimed you as his mate yet?" I asked her

"Not yet."

"Hmm. Don't be surprised if he does claim you soon. I can feel it in the wind. Love, I mean. A lot of it is going to happen, to whom, I don't know, but it is. It has already begun. I felt it even before you and Hiei confessed your love for each other," I said

Kaze smiled at what I said. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. About ten minutes later, I woke up when Yusuke hit me with a pillow.

"Damn it Yusuke. It is not a good idea to wake me up like that. Don't you remember what happened last time?" I asked him smiling evilly.

I saw him flinch as he thought back to what had happened.

I was sleeping in the exact same spot I was just in. Yusuke grabbed a pillow and started hitting me with it. My eyes shot open and a small twister formed in the middle of the room. It swept Yusuke up and then let him go. He slammed into the wall. Then the twister picked him up again and threw him against another wall. I was standing off the side and laughing like a maniac. After that episode, Yusuke had to go to the hospital because two of his ribs were broken along with his arm.

I threw the pillow back at him and it hit him in the head.

"Is everyone ready to go?" asked Kurama who took the silence as a yes.

Ten Minutes Later, No POV

Mia, Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, Kaze, and Kuwabara, who had met up with them just a little while ago, stood in front of Kagome's house.

"Nice place," said Kaze

Mia took the lead and led them to the back of the house to where the well was. She didn't bother going to Kagome. She didn't feel like talking to the girl. Mia was the firs to go down the well and the others followed her. Once everyone was at the bottom, she jumped up and out. The others followed her yet again. Mia smiled to herself as she surveyed her surroundings. Green trees and green grass. She turned to look at the others' expressions. Kurama seemed exited by all the wild plant life. Kaze also looked around in awe.

"I can sense the rivers and creeks around here. They are so clean compared to the future Ningenkai," she said

Yusuke and Kuwabara looked around them and had somewhat confused expressions but other than that, they didn't show signs of appreciation for the openness of the past. Hiei just looked around him. Everything looked the same as it did so long ago. He was alive back then, so was Youko but he wasn't out at the moment. Mia and Kaze were still young demons, both being less than one hundred years old. They weren't alive during the Feudal Era so all this was new to them.

"Just what do you think you are doing here?" asked someone from behind them

Mia turned around and saw Kagome climbing out of the well with an agitated look on her face.

"Ugh! I can't believe this. I thought you said that you wouldn't tell anyone," she said

"Oops. Nothing I can do about it now. You can go home. We have things to do, Kagome," Mia said

"Like what? You have no reason to be here. What if you are trying to alter the course of history? Just think of what it could do with the future," Kagome went on.

"Shut up. We won't change the course of history. You don't have to worry about that. Now leave," Mia said more forcefully.

Kagome placed her hands on her hips in defiance. Hiei, getting really frustrated with the ningen, unsheathed his katana and held it to her throat. Kagome's defiance was replaced by fear as soon as she saw the katana.

"Go, now. I will not hesitate to put this though your throat," Hiei said

"Kagome? What is going on?" came a voice from behind.

"Sango! Help me"

"Shut up wench," said Hiei

Mia turned around and saw the three she had met only a couple of days before. They seemed surprised to see her.

"It is you, the demon from a couple of days ago," said Miroku

Mia lunged herself at him and placed a hand over his mouth. Kagome's eyes were wide.

"You…you are a demon?" she asked

"Shit! Can life get any worse?" there was a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. "I guess it can."

"Are the others demons as well?" asked Kagome

"Hiei, just push her into the well. We can sort things with her out later. Let's just do what we were sent here to do," Mia said removing her hand from the monk's mouth.

She wiped her hand on the monk's back because he had licked her. She looked at him disgustedly. Hiei grabbed Kagome and sent her down the well. There was a loud 'oof' as she hit the bottom. Miroku stepped forward and grabbed Kaze's hand.

"Will you be the bearer of my children?" he asked as he kissed the top of her hand.

Kaze yanked it away from him. Hiei appeared right in front of Kaze blocking her from Miroku's gaze.

"Don't you dare touch her again if you value your life," Hiei threatened.

The monk sweat dropped and backed off. Kurama went to Mia and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Would you mind telling us who these, uh, people are?" he asked

"Yea. Ok, everyone. SHUT UP! Thank you. The demon with the ears is Inuyasha. The girl with the boomerang is Sango, the monk is Miroku. Now to the other side. The bishonen is Kurama. The shorter demon is Hiei. The girl is Kaze. The better looking ningen is Yusuke and the ugly one is Kuwabara."

"Hajimemashite," Kurama said as he gave a light bow.

"Feh. What are you doing here?" Inuyasha directed at Mia.

"A short vacation, away from the big city and all…" she said

Inuyasha gave her a wary glance and shrugged.

"We are not doing anything right now so why don't you stay with us? If you are from Kagome's time then you probably don't know your way around," said Sango

Mia turned back to the others and when she saw that they weren't going to object she agreed. It was late in the day so they decided to make a camp a little way into the woods. Everyone was talking merrily except for Mia who was sitting up in a tree a little ways off, Kaze and Hiei who had snuck away from the group, and Inuyasha who was somewhere.

The afternoon turned to dusk and a fire was lit. Mia was still up in her tree, while the others had settled themselves around the fire. Kaze was sitting comfortably in Hiei's lap and he had his arms wrapped around her waist with his head on her shoulder. Mia smiled as she watched the two. It wasn't too long ago that she had a slight crush on Hiei but it dwindled into nothing because she didn't truly want to have a relationship with Hiei. They would have made a cute couple but it wouldn't have lasted and Mia was fine with that. She was happy for Kaze and Hiei, they went well together.

Mia sighed and rested her head against the tree and closed her eyes. Her mind drifted off to a hanyou. One that had disappeared right after they had set up camp. As she drifted further into her thoughts, she didn't notice a rustling in the leaves close by.

She thought of Inuyasha's ears. When she had first seen him it took a lot of self control not to touch them. Some years ago she had a wolf demon friend who hated it when anyone touched his ears. She smiled at the thought. Her life wasn't so bad. True, she had lost her parents as a mere child but they had showed her love that wouldn't allow for her spirit to dampen for long. True, Mia was a sarcastic person but she want angry.

A twig broke just next to Mia and she jumped and fell out of the tree. Before she hit the ground though, she was slowed down. The wind had a way with her like that. She was light as a feather when she wanted to be, literally. When her butt touched the ground she returned to her normal weight. The half-demon from her thoughts appeared next to her.

"You floated," he said

"Cool, huh?" she said with a twinkle in her eye but then turned into a more serious note as she said, "don't scare me like that again."

Mia stood up and Inuyasha came up with her. He looked at her for a while, taking in everything about her looks. Her blue eyes, shoulder length white hair, cherry lips, and her small but well toned frame. She didn't have a small body, just slender. She wasn't too tall, her eyes were level with his nose. He noticed that her breasts were firm and round. When he realized what he was looking at, he quickly adverted his eyes to somewhere else, anywhere else. A small smile tugged at Mia's lips when she realized that Inuyasha was checking her out.

"Don't worry, you don't look to bad yourself," Mia said as she walked off towards the fire, leaving behind her an embarrassed demon.

Mia went to her pack and got out her walkman. She then walked over to the tree that was closest to the fire and sat down with her back against it. She turned her music. The first song she listened to was Shanghai Honey by Orange Range. It was one of her favorite songs so she started to sing along. It want long until she was up on her feet and dancing to a beat that no one else could hear. She had her eyes closed and was oblivious to the looks she got from anyone else

During her mindless dancing, Inuyasha had come into the clearing.

"What is she doing?" he asked to no one in particular

"She is listening to her walkman," said Yusuke

"What?"

"A walkman. A thing that you put CD's into and then listen to them on your headphones," Yusuke explained but when he noticed the look of confusion on Inuyasha's face he just gave up. "Whatever."

Inuyasha shrugged and sat down in the same spot where Mia had been sitting and closed his eyes. It just so happened that Mia had heard what was said between him and Yusuke because her song had ended. She took her headphones off and placed her finger on her lips when the others noticed her heading towards Inuyasha. She quickly slapped the headphones on him and turned the song up.

Startled, Inuyasha jumped up and made to draw his Tetsaiga. sp He stopped when he noticed that the others were laughing at him. He took off the headphones and let them fall to the ground next to a laughing Mia. He shook his head and went off into the woods where he jumped into a tree and sat there with his arms folded over his chest.

Fifteen or so minutes after Inuyasha had left, and everyone had calmed themselves, Kurama announced that the food was ready.

"I am going to find Inuyasha," Mia said as she stood up from the spot she had reclaimed when he had left.

"Ok. Just be quick, cold Ramen isn't so good," Kurama said

Mia headed in the direction Inuyasha had run off to earlier. She found him sitting in a tree even further off than she had been. She jumped up and perched herself on a branch right next to the hanyou. He was sleeping. She reached out a hand and placed it on his shoulder. Instantly, his eyes were open and looking right at her.

"What are you doing?" he asked

"Waking you up. Food is ready. Come if you want to eat," Mia said as she jumped out of the tree.

Inuyasha landed right next to her. She was about to start walking, when he grabbed the back of her shirt and stopped her from going further. Mia turned around and faced him.

"You rang?" she asked cockily

Inuyasha frowned, being not used to such a term. Mia loved the confusion she saw in his eyes. The two were standing pretty close together and so Mia took advantage and leaned forward, kissing him lightly on the lips. She pulled back and started walking off, leaving behind her an even more confused dog demon.
