Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, You know what? Poof this. If you actually
think that I own Inuyasha, than you are just beyond anyone's help and are
in serious need of being put in an insane asylum, and I pray that you won't
have to be put in the same ward as Kikyot.
Leiko: Wasn't that a cheery disclaimer?
Kikyo: No it wasn't...
Kin: You're stupid, did you know that?
Kikyo: AM NOT!!!
Sesshoumaru: Yes you are.
Kikyo: NO I'M NOT!!!
Mizuna: You shouldn't fight a losing battle...
Kikyo: BUT I'M NOT STUPID!!!
Kagome: Let's take a vote, who here thinks Kikyo is stupid?
*Everyone but Kikyot raises their hands*
Kagome: It looks unanimous to me!
Kikyo: NO IT'S NOT, I DIDN'T VOTE FOR IT!!!
Kashaku: You don't count.
Kagome: But if it'll make you happy: everyone who COUNTS voted for you being stupid.
Kikyo: Thank y- HEY wait a minute!!!
Kagome: What? Are you still not satisfied!?!
*Kagome pretends to sob*
Kagome: All I do is give, give, give, and what do I get in return!?! Nothing but CRITISISM!!!
Hiten: Wow, you're even more selfish than I am...
Kikyo: NO I'M NOT!!!
Hiten: You know, D' Nile ain't just a river in Egypt...
Kashaku: I don't get it...
Kouga: I get it!!!
Kashaku: NO FAIR, WHY DOES HE GET IT, AND I DON'T!!!
*Everyone sweatdrops*
Leiko: I think I'm just gonna start the fic now...

Chapter 1: The Return
"Where is she!?!" Kin ranted as they waited for Kagome.
"I'm sure she has a good reason for being three hours late..." Mizuna covered for their friend.
"She'd better!!!" Kin had been pacing back and forth for the past two hours.
"Kin, can you stop pacing, you're making me dizzy..." Kashaku said as the world around her began to spin.
"Kashaku, I think the reason you're dizzy, is because you've been spinning around for ten minutes now..." Mizuna said, sweatdroping.
"Oh, do you really think that could be it?" Kashaku asked confused.
Mizuna and Kin stared at Kashaku for a minute before snapping out of it. Finally giving up on Kagome, the three girls hailed a taxicab, and left for Kagome's home to see if she was okay.
When they reached Kagome's house, they paid the driver and walked up to the front door. Mizuna raise her hand to knock on the door, when a voice from inside stopped her.
"I don't care if you're late to pick up your friends, we need to find the rest of the jewel shards and it's not gonna happen on it's own!"
The girls frowned and exchanged worried glances. They were sure that they had never heard that voice before. Upon hearing the back door sliding open and closed they all peered around the bushes. What they saw made Kin boil in anger, Mizuna puzzled and completely confused Kashaku; A teenage boy with silver hair wearing a red men's kimono, walked out of the house carrying an annoyed looking Kagome under his arm.
Putting a hand over her mouth to keep herself from gasping, Mizuna grabbed Kin and Kashaku and pulled them behind the bushes. Frowning she motioned that Kin and Kashaku follow her, Mizuna crept around the bush and looked into the sacred well house just in time to see a flash of silver and red disappearing into the well.
"I thought that Kagome's grandfather sealed the well off..." Kin said.
"He did," Mizuna, replied peering into the well after Kagome and her mysterious kidnapper. "Th-the-there's no one in there!!!" Mizuna said, a little freaked out by this strange new occurrence.
Kin growled and pushed Mizuna out of the way. "There must be some kind of trap door or something, people don't just disappear!" Jumping into the well, she landed gracefully on the bottom only to find a solid dirt ground. Kin growled again, and placed her nose to the ground, resembling Inuyasha when he was trying to pick up a scent.
"Mi-Chan, I'm picking up some pretty weird scents, one of them is Kagome's, but I can't place the other, and it has this really odd smell to it." With that Kin scooped up a handful of the dirt and leapt out of the well in a single jump.
Mizuna took a pinch of the dirt into her hand a sniffed it cautiously before pulling out her laptop.
"Wow, this is really creepy. This dirt is old... Like, feudal ages old." Kashaku said still studying the well in front of her.
Mizuna placed the dirt into the scanning system of her laptop. "Kashaku's right. The dirt is from the feudal era. But that just doesn't make any sense, dirt this old should have been covered up by millions of layers of new soil." Mizuna said snapping her computer shut.
"Maybe Mrs. Higurashi will know what's going on..." Kin said leading the way out of the well house.
Not bothering to knock, the three girls walked into one of their 4 homes away from home. "Mrs. Higurashi! Are you here!?!" Kin yelled into the stillness of the house.
"Kin? Is that you dear?" The voice of Mrs. Higurashi questioned from somewhere upstairs.
"KIN!?! MIZUNA!?! KASHAKU!?! ARE YOU REALLY HERE!?!" Yelled the voice of their rambunctious 'adopted' brother.
"SOUTA!!!" Kashaku beamed at the fourteen-year-old boy they had all come to love as their own brother.
"It IS you!!!" He grinned happily as each one gave him a huge hug.
"We're glad to have you girls back!" Came Mrs. Higurashi's voice as she came into the room and enveloped all three of the girls into a bone- crushing hug.
"It's good to be back Mrs. Higurashi, but we were just wondering where Kagome-Chan is, she was supposed to pick us up from the airport." Mizuna said.
"Yeah, and are you aware that your daughter was just dragged out of here by some psycho wearing an old kimono!?!" Kin asked angrily. Mizuna glared and hissed into her ear, "I was trying NOT to send them into a state of panic!!!"
"Oh, do you mean Inuyasha?" Mrs. Higurashi asked. Seeing their confused expressions she specified, "Was he wearing a red kimono, had silver hair, dog ears and gold eyes?"
"Yes! But where was he taking Kagome, and how did they just 'disappear' into the bone eaters well!?!" Kin asked trying to make sense of why Mrs. Higurashi and Souta were so calm about a psychopath carrying off Kagome.
After an abridged version of what had been happening in the past month, they finally understood what was going on.
"Well, how do we follow Kagome through the well?" Kashaku asked.
"I really don't want you girls going into that time era, Kagome has Inuyasha to protect her from the demons there, but who would protect you?" Mrs. Higurashi asked concerned.
"Well you see... me, Kashaku, and Mizuna, well, we're.... Well, we're demonesses..." Kin said hoping that they would understand.
Souta and Mrs. Higurashi sat there stunned for a minute before they began to avidly question the three demo nesses.
"Wow, I thought you would be a little more stunned by this, but in answer to your questions, Kashaku is a fire demoness, I'm a lightning/kitsune demoness, and Mizuna is a water demoness." Kin answered.
"What do you really look like then?" Souta asked curiously.
The three girls exchanged a quick glance and then they remove their illusions. Mizuna's ears became elf-like and six dark blue stripes appeared on her, two on each cheek and one on either side of her shoulders and a Blue Sapphire appeared on her forehead. Kashaku's appearance stayed the same except for a Ruby appeared in the middle of her forehead. Kin's ears disappeared and two fox ears grew on top of her head, while a Canary Diamond appeared in the center of her forehead.
"COOL!!!" Souta shouted as he ran foreword and began to rub Kin's new ears. She winced, but tolerated Souta's petting.
"Well, I suppose since you can defend yourselves, I can give you this." Mrs. Higurashi said handing Mizuna a shard of the Shikon jewel. "Kagome gave it to me, in case I ever needed to reach her while she was in the Sengoku Jidai."
After thanking Mrs. Higurashi and giving quick hugs to her and Souta, Kashaku, Kin and Mizuna left the Higurashi house, and jumped into the well.
Arriving on the other side, the three girls jumped out of the bone eater's well. Looking around, they found a path that led down to a village. Smelling Kagome's scent, they decided to take the path. When they reached the village, they were met with shouts of "DEMONS!!! QUICK, GATHER YOUR WEAPONS!!!"
Kashaku frowned and asked "Demons, where? I don't smell anything..."
Kin sweatdropped and explained that they were talking about them.
Rolling her eyes Mizuna addressed the villagers, "We mean no harm, we are from Kagome's time, we're her best friends, and can anyone tell me where she is?"
Directly after her little speech, the villagers parted and an old lady hobbled foreword wearing the robes of a priestess and carrying with her a bow and a quiver of arrows on her back. "My name is Kaede, I am the priestess of this village, and how do we know that ye are truly Kagome's friends, and not just some clever demonesses after her jewel shards?"
Mizuna sighed; she hadn't been expecting this much distrust. Walking up to the elderly priestess, she held out her clawed hand and showed Kaede her friendship bracelet.
"That be the same bracelet Kagome is always wearing, and you are wearing clothes that resemble her own... She has traveled with Inuyasha to collect a jewel shard from two troublesome demon brothers."(A/N: Can anyone guess who the brothers are?) The priestess replied.
Mizuna smiled gratefully to her and introduced herself, and her friends to the villagers. After the introductions were complete, Kin asked which direction they went and the three demonesses set off after their missing friend.
