Link, Kitana, and Trunks headed back to Hyrule Castle to explain to Zelda about Kyoji's disappearance. None of them knew where he went and they all wished that the portals, or whatever they were, were marked somehow. Kitana and Trunks didn't feel like talking or trying to figure out what had just happened all they knew was that they had lost a close friend and now it was going to be a long journey back to Hyrule. Link did actually try to jump in after him, but all he did was bang his head on the ground, that much they gave him for now. Nothing that Link said now would change the fact that Kyoji wasn't with them now and that they were missing part of their team.

Meanwhile, Kyoji woke up from his fall and looked around in a daze for the other three. "Oww that hurt", he said painfully, "that'll leave a mark." He looked up just in time to see a hole in the sky start to close and he wondered what it was. "Oh boy that's not good", he said to himself. "Link, Kitana, Trunks, hey where are you guys. No more games, c'mon where are you."

Kyoji began walking around wondering where he was. He found himself in a forest; it didn't quite look like the Lost Woods or any forest at his old home. He came to a clearing where a large tree grew from the middle of the clearing and rooted out above the ground. He started circling the tree, looking it over, and climbing around it, he was too tired now to try flying around it. He was about to leave when he heard a voice call out to him, "Hey you, what do you think you're doing here?" He jumped around in time to see a young girl standing in the entrance to the clearing.

"Oh I was just looking at this tree, I've never seen one so big before." Kyoji responded. "I don't really know what I'm doing here or how I got here, heck I don't even know where here is."

"This is the feudal era of Japan", the stranger said. "This tree is where I first arrived too. To tell you the truth I don't really have any idea how you got here, unless you came down the well back there."

"A well? No I didn't come down a well. I was walking with my friends when I fell on the ground, and when I woke up I found myself here. I don't know how to explain it really. Come to think of it I guess I didn't fall on the ground did I?"

"Well I just got back from my world so I guess you can stay with us until you find your way home. Come with me I'll take you back to the village I'm staying at. Oh, how rude of me, my name is Kagome, what's yours." She gestured with her hands as she spoke. She was about average height maybe about 5'6" or so, a slender build, black hair down to her waist, and brown eyes. She wore a school uniform, a white shirt with a green and white striped collar and a red bow, and she wore a green skirt. She looked like she wasn't from this time, but maybe from the same country.

"Kyoji. I'm from Hyrule…" he stopped short to rethink his last statement. "Well now I am, but I was born somewhere else."

"Hyrule? I've never heard of that place. Is it off the east coast, or maybe in the Atlantic?"

"No, it isn't. I can't really explain where it is. I've lived there for the past three years and I still don't know where it is." He could tell she was trying so he wasn't going to say anything about that, he gave her credit though, and it was better than he could have done. He probably would have said it was a country floating in the sky above China or Russia or something, he would even have gone with it being another Atlantis.

The two new friends walked to the nearby village, which really wasn't too far from where Kyoji had landed. On their way they began talking about how they each got here and why they were here, Kyoji's story didn't last long. He did tell her about Hyrule and his friends he had left back there.

Once they arrived at the village, Kagome lead Kyoji to the largest building in town. It was made of wood, with the old style Japanese architecture, which still looked good even in Hyrule, they reminded him of the rural areas back home in his world. They walked in and inside were five people sitting down, and to his guess waiting for Kagome. Everyone was eating dinner and talking around, what about he didn't know. He looked at the group and realized that they weren't all the same kind of people, in fact each of them looked different somehow. One looked like a monk, one a regular young girl, one looked of an older woman, one had dog ears, and a kid with dog ears and a bushy tail, there was even a two tailed cat lying down.

"Hi guys." Kagome said greeting her friends." She beckoned Kyoji to come in as she made her introductions. "I found this boy walking around the forest and he has lost his way home, so I invited him to stay with us for a while. His name is Kyoji and he's from a land called Hyrule." She sat down and told Kyoji to sit as well so that she could properly introduce them.

"Kagome it's nice of ye to join us", said the older woman. "Kyoji is it? I'm sorry ye have lost your way. We will help ye with finding ye way back. I'm Kaede the priestess of this village." She seemed nice enough to be a priestess, but Kyoji didn't sense much in the way of spirit energy, but he was in a different world altogether.

"Kyoji, let me introduce you to everyone. You already know Kaede, that dog demon over there is Inuyasha, the little fox demon is Shippo, the monk is Miroku, she is Sango, and the cat is Kirara."

Kyoji sat down, as they exchanged hellos and began a conversation with him. He was amazed at how fast they had gotten to know each other. He learned that they were all after the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls and a demon named Naraku. He even told them about his adventures in Hyrule which started about three years ago, when he was told that he was destined to help save Hyrule from an evil demon called Dragmire who has been trying to take revenge on the princess and the Hero of Time.

Later that night after everyone started going to bed Kyoji walked outside to get some fresh air and try to take in everything that has taken place that day. He looked up at the stars wondering what Link, and the rest of them were doing, he missed them now. The peace was disturbed somewhat as the door slid open and Miroku stepped outside with him.

"How's everything going Kyoji?" He asked in a friendly tone.

"Not too bad, thanks", Kyoji was tired, but he couldn't stop thinking about home. "I guess I'm becoming a little home sick right now, I miss Hyrule."

"That's to be expected. Kagome had to go through the same thing when she first got here from her home too. Even Sango felt a little away from home, but it will pass in time." He gave him a reassuring smile, which said that it wouldn't be too long before this too feels like home. "Try to get some rest though, we are leaving in the morning to continue our journey." They both went back inside to get some sleep for the next day. Kyoji could tell that his adventures were only just beginning here.
