Sleeping arrangements had been decided, and Kagome would be sleeping in Ming's room, obviously. Ming's room was decorated as a normal teens bedroom would be decorated, and even had a bunk bed. Kagome was on the top bunk, staring up at the ceiling. I wonder what Inuyasha is doing now? She thought. Her answer came almost instantaneously.
"Oh my God." Ming was watching the news below her.
"What is it?" Kagome asked. She sat up, forgetting that the ceiling was only feet above her, and hit her head.
"At the airport. There's been a major security breach." Ming flipped through the channels. "Every news station is on it!"
Kagome climbed down and sat next to Ming. "So what happened?" Ming hurriedly shushed her as the news channel played a clip that contained many disgruntled guards chasing after a very fast man dressed in red with long white hair. Kagome fainted.
Inuyasha had a pounding headache. Kagome's time was soooo….loud! His ears were flat against his head, and he was lying on top of someone's roof in a suburban area. He had picked up Kagome's scent right away, but he couldn't do anything before those stupid guards started chasing him. He gathered enough info to know that Kagome had headed west. In the dawn, he would head west until he picked up her trail, and then slap duct tape over her mouth before she could yell 'Sit!' Then he would proceed to drag her home. It sounded like the perfect plan to him. He wrinkled his nose at the stars. Kagome's time had such horrible smells too.
Kagome awoke a few moments later to Ming and Minh hovering over her face. Momentarily forgetting where she was, she screamed. Ming laughed as Minh jumped back. "I knew you were ugly Minh," she called, "But I never would have guessed that you were scary!" She laughed harder at her joke. Suddenly everything came back. She sat up and massaged her temples against a threatening headache. It can't be, she thought. Inuyasha? Here, in China! She moaned as the headache pushed itself through her defenses.
"Hey Ming? Do you have any aspirin?"
"Oh yeah, of course. Go get her some aspirin, Minh!" Kagome couldn't help but smile at this. It reminded her of Sango and Miroku for some reason. Minh grumbled but came back with a couple of Advil and a glass of water. Kagome thanked him and took the pills.
"Kagome! What do you think of that guy at the airport? Quite the cutie, ay?" Ming nudged her arm in a girl sort of way and winked.
Kagome's thoughts were elsewhere. "Huh? Oh, Inuyasha?"
Ming gasped. "You know him? That's so cool! How old is he?"
Kagome laughed. "Too old for you. Besides, if you really knew him, you wouldn't be asking." He's such a jerk, Kagome thought. And yet…
"He's not that great," came Minh's voice as he left the room.
"What's his problem?" wondered Ming. Suddenly a smile crept across her face. "I bet he's jealous, Kagome. Hee hee hee…."
"Of you? " she asked, "I thought you were brother and sister though!"
Ming giggled. "No, silly! Of you!"
