"Hey, there's a village up ahead!" Kogeme excitedly announced. "So what?" Inuyasha mumbled. "So, let's go over there. Maybe there's some food," KoKo said as she held her hand over her growling stomach. "Yeah, I agree with KoKo!" Shippo said with excitement. "Yeah and I haven't eaten all day," Sango added. "Me neither," Miroku agreed; Kilala and Tiger meowed in their adorable little voice as they all headed for the village, leaving Inuyasha behind. "Hey!" Inuyasha ran quickly to catch up with them. "Welcome!" The villagers would greet them as if they knew them. "Well this is certainly different from the last time we visited a village," Sango whispered to Miroku. "Yeah, it's as if they know us," Miroku whispered back. A young lady villager walked by to greet them. Miroku was about to walk over to her, but the beautiful lady saw Shippo and ran towards him in aw. "Aw, you're so cute!" the lady complimented to Shippo. Miroku was about to walk over to the young girl, but Sango pulled him back by the ear. "Why don't ya'll come over to my hut and have some lunch?" the lady offered. Everyone agreed with the lady and followed her to a nice hut that had plants and flowers surrounding the outside. KoKo was the first one to walk in behind the lady and was amazed by all of the gorgeous roses. "Let's eat!" the lady had a table set of food out, just enough for everyone. "Wow!" Shippo complimented. "I'm sorry, but I never got your name," KoKo said before she started eating, unlike Inuyasha. "I'm Shia." She shortly said as they all started eating. By now Inuyasha was in a good mood, because his stomach was full. Inuyasha walked outside and picked a red rose that had just bloomed and gave put it in Kogeme's hair. Everyone picked out the door and watched them. Inuyasha noticed that they were watching, so he didn't say anything, he just walked back into the hut. "Hey, KoKo. Do you want to come back with me back to my time?" KoKo looked over to Kogeme. "How?" KoKo questioned. "Well anyone that has a jewel shard can cross over to my time- 500 years into the future." KoKo was amazed by this and agreed to go back to Kogeme's era with her. "When are you leaving?" KoKo asked. "Actually I was thinking about leaving now.""But what about my sword I was supposed to go get from Totosie?" "Oh Inuyasha can get that for you. Is that alright with you, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha turned to Kogeme and said, "I guess." Kogeme put a big smile on her face and said, "Let's go then!" KoKo looked at Kogeme and worriedly said, "How are we going to get there?" Kogeme looked back at KoKo. KoKo turned to Tiger and asked, "Tiger, would it be ok with you that you take me and Kogeme to her era; you could come back as soon as he drop us off." Tiger meowed and ran outside. KoKo and Kogeme followed him outside to see that he was already ready. The two girls jumped on Tiger's back and set off for Kogeme's era. When they got to the well that separates Inuyasha's and Kogeme's time, the two girls jumped in. "Sis!" Sota, Kogeme's younger brother, shouted with excitement as Kogeme walked out of the shrine. Sota looked behind Kogeme as he saw KoKo walking out. "Look out, Kogeme! A demon followed you here!" Sota shouted in fear. KoKo looked at Sota with a confused look, like Inuyasha. "It's ok, Sota. It's just KoKo, Inuyasha's younger sister," Kogeme reassured him. "But she doesn't have and ears on her head, and she has brown hair," Sota said. "She is Inuyasha's half sister." Sota was embarrassed with what he had said about her. "Fe, it's ok. I get worst stuff than that most of the time," KoKo said. Kogeme walked inside with Sota and KoKo following her. "Kogeme! Welcome home, honey." "Hi, mom. Mmm, that smells great. What are you cooking?" "It's steak. I hope you're hungry!" By now it was supper- time, and KoKo was starving. "Who's your friend?" Ms. Higorashie asked. "This is KoKo, Inuyasha's younger half sister," Sota said for Kogeme. "Welcome, KoKo." Ms. Higorashie said with a big warming smile on her face. "Oh hello, Kogeme," Kogeme's grandpa greeted as they walked into the kitchen. "Dad, this is KoKo. Inuyasha's younger sister," Ms. Higorashie said before he asked any questions. "I didn't know Inuyasha had a sister," Kogeme's grandfather said as he greeted KoKo. "Neither did he until about two weeks ago," KoKo smiled. "Food's ready!" Ms. Higorashie announced. Everyone was eating the steak, enjoying it. "Have you ever had steak, KoKo?" Ms. Higorashie questioned as she cut a slice for KoKo. "Nope, never even heard of it." KoKo sniffed the food before eating it, and when she knew it was good to eat, she ate it with one bite. Sota stared at KoKo as she eating, and KoKo turned to Sota when she noticed that he was watching her. Sota quickly turned away when KoKo looked at him, and KoKo reassured him as she laughed, "You don't have to be afraid of me, you know. I don't bite." After dinner was over, Kogeme got out of the bathtub, got dressed, and asked KoKo, "Do you want to take a bath? It's just like from your time but it's much smaller, and you can control the water temperature." Kogeme lead KoKo to the upstairs bathroom and turned on the water for her where it was perfect. She showed KoKo how to change the water temperature and how to turn it off. "And you can lock the door, so nobody can walk in on you on accident," Kogeme said as she showed KoKo how to lock the door. "If you need any help, just holler," Kogeme said as she shut the door and walked out. KoKo got undressed out of her old torn up clothes and gently laid into the tub. 'Wow, this is the life. I can't believe that Kogeme would rather be in out time than here.' KoKo's mind drifted away as she lied in the soothing water. "Knock, knock, knock." KoKo's mind came back as she heard Kogeme's voice, "Are you still alive in there?" "Yeah, sorry I've been in long.""It's ok.""I'm finished, anyways." "Ok. When you get out just wrap up into a towel. I have some clothes that are too small for me that you could have."When KoKo got out of the bathroom, Kogeme handed her a beautiful white nightgown that had fire work designs all over it. KoKo put it on and thanked Kogeme for the gown. "That looks really nice on you, KoKo," Ms. Higorashie complemented. "Thank you." Sota walked into Kogeme's room, saw KoKo, and blushed. "Oh hi, Sota," KoKo greeted. Sota mumbled hi and ran out as quickly as he could. "What was that all about?" KoKo asked Kogeme, and Kogeme laughed. "You will be starting school with Kogeme tomorrow. I already called the school and got you registered. You will be going to the same school as Kogeme, so she can show you around," Ms. Higorashie said. KoKo turned to Kogeme with a worried look on her face. "Don't worry, I will help you tomorrow," Kogeme reassured KoKo, trying to make her feel better. "Night, Kogeme and KoKo." "Night, mom." KoKo drifted off to sleep as she lied on the bed, and Kogeme lied on the floor.
