Chapter 2: What's Going On?
Before I even opened my eyes, I heard birds chirping & the wind blowing through the trees, so I knew that I still wasn't home. I was hoping that the night before was just a really bad dream & that I would end up waking up in my warm, comfortable bed. But that didn't happen. Instead, I was still on the grass outdoors. I finally opened my eyes, expecting to see a blue sky behind the tops of the trees. But instead, I saw someone standing over me, staring down at me. His face was right in mine apparently trying to examine me or something. Startled, I quickly sat up & moved away from him. His gave me a wired look & crossed his arms. "Hmph! What the hell are you so scared of? I'm not gonna hurt you!" he said, apparently annoyed that I was so jumpy. Now that I got a good look at him, he did look pretty harmless. Then, I noticed he had…dog ears! 'What?" I thought to myself. 'What's going on? He has dog ears…& fangs!' I was even more confused than I was before. He came closer to mo & squatted next to me. Then, he started sniffing me. I kinda inched away from him, thinking he was some sort of psychopath or something. 'Why the hell is he smelling me?' I thought to myself. I couldn't take my eyes off of his ears. They actually kinda cool!
"What?" Apparently, he noticed me staring at his ears.
"Nothing!" I lied. I saw one of his twitch when I said that. 'Aww…' I thought that was so cute! I couldn't help but be amazed at them.
I think he saw the amused expression on my face. "Can you stop at me like that!" he said. I could already tell he had a short temper.
I just looked away & sighed.
He sighed along with me. "So…" he started to say. "Who are you?….And why are you dressed so…weird?"
"Huh?" I was confused at his question. I looked down at my clothes. I guess he considered my blue spaghetti-strap shirt under my black mesh shirt & my black, baggy cargo pants weird. Then I looked at what he was wearing. A red kimono? And no shoes? 'Yeah, I'm the one who's dressed weird!' I thought to myself.
"Well…?" he was obviously getting impatient. "What's your name?"
"Rose." I answered in a quiet voice. "What's yours?"
"………..InuYasha." he answered. "Your clothes looked……" he looked like he was thinking really hard about something. "……..Hey! Are you from the present?"
"The present?" I had no idea what he meant by that.
"Yeah, Kagome's from the present & she has weird clothes, too!"
"Kagome?" I asked.
"Yeah! So are you?"
"Am I what?"
"FROM THE PRESENT!" he yelled. Jeez, he did NOT have any patience!
"Oh…um…I…don't know. I really don't understand what you're asking me."
InuYasha just sighed. "Forget it! Kagome might know where the hell you came from." He stood up & turned away from me. "Come on!" he started to walk off, leaving me still sitting on the ground. I wasn't sure if I wanted to follow him so I just sat there. He turned around to see if I was following him & saw that I wasn't. "You coming or what?"
"Why should I?" I didn't know if could trust him or not.
"Well, I can't just leave you out here on your own. You're only a human, so I doubt you can defend yourself against demons."
"Demons?" 'What the hell is he talking about?' "You really expect me to believe that there are demons out here?"
"Why don't you look behind you?" he said as he put his hand on his sword, ready to pull it out.
"What?" I did look behind me & I saw a wolf-like creature running toward us. But it was much larger than a normal wolf. And looked a lot scarier! It wasn't a regular wolf at all! It continued to run toward us at an unbelievable pace! I got up to run away even though it was ten times faster than me. I still had to at least try to get away from it!
"Get behind me!" InuYasha ordered.
"I didn't have any other choice, so I did as he said. He drew out the sword but it grew to be much larger than the sheath! Then, he jumped into the air when the creature got close enough. "WIND SCAR!" he yelled, as he attacked the creature, killing it in one swing! I was mesmerized! I couldn't believe how powerful he was! I ran over to him & he just looked at me. "Now, are you gonna come with me?" he asked, knowing I'd say yes.
Its not like I had any other choice. "Yeah, I guess so."
So, I followed him through the forest. I didn't know where we were going but I didn't ask InuYasha. I got the feeling that he thought that I was asking too many questions already. So, we were both pretty quiet on the way to wherever we were going. Though, I was pretty sure that we were gonna go meet this Kagome person. We eventually came to this little peaceful village but everything looked really strange. There were no cars. Instead, there were carriages with horses. Small huts instead of the houses that I was used to seeing. And everyone was wearing kimonos. I didn't understand what was going on at all, but I entered the village with InuYasha, anyway.
He finally broke the silence when we entered the village. "This is Kaede's Village. Before you ask, Kaede's a priestess.& she lives over there." He pointed toward a small hut to our left. "If Kagome can't help you, then maybe she can."
"INUYASHA!" We heard someone calling out to him. It sounded like a girl's voice. Then, I saw her riding a bicycle toward us, waving at InuYasha. She had a green school uniform on. 'Finally! Somebody with normal clothes on!' I thought to myself. She finally reached us. "InuYasha, what took you? Did you have trouble killing that demon?" she teased.
"No!" he said as he crossed his arms. "I got caught up." he then looked at me.
The girl at me as well, just noticing I was there. "Oh, hi! I'm Kagome!" She said nicely. "What's your name?"
"Rose." I answered. "I'm really confused about where I am. Everything here is so strange! I just woke up & ended up in this weird place!"
"You mean…you don't know where you are? Or even how you got here?" she asked.
"…Uh…No…Am I supposed to?" I really wasn't sure what she meant by that.
"InuYasha…" she turned to him & crossed her arms. "Why didn't you tell her where she is? Its obvious where she came from!"
"I asked her if she was from the future, like you, but she didn't even know what the hell I was talking about!"
"Idiot!" That's because she doesn't even know that she left the present! She still thinks she's in here own time!"
"And how the hell am I supposed to know that!"
I was staring to get really impatient. "Um…excuse me," I interrupted. They both stopped bickering & looked at me. "Could you please stop fighting & help me?"
"Oh, sorry." Kagome nervously smiled.
"Hmph!" InuYasha pouted.
I then, wanted to ask her something about what she said earlier. "Um…Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"You said something about me not being in 'my own time' anymore. What exactly did you mean by that?"
"You're not in your own time anymore. You're in the Feudal Era."
"The Feudal Era!" I didn't believe her at first but I was proven wrong before with InuYasha, so I decided that I should just go with it. Plus, as I looked around, it was obvious that she wasn't lying. Actually, it all made sense now. The kimonos, carriages, huts. It all added up! "So, how did I get here?"
Kagome sighes. "I'm not sure if I can help you with that."
"Oh." Needless to say, I was disappointed at that answer. If I knew how got there, then maybe I would be able to get back home.
"Do, you remember where you were when you first got here?" Kagome asked me.
"I sighed. "No, it was really dark so I wasn't able to see anything. And I was wandering around, trying to find my house."
"Hmmmmmm…."
"What about Kaede?" InuYasha finally said something helpful. "Do you think Kaede can help?"
"Maybe." Kagome replied. "Let's go ask her."
