Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own InuYasha or any of the characters excepting Meagan, Emily, and Elaina, and pretty much basically anyone besides Kagome and Inuyasha.

Elaina had cautiously climbed out of the hole, taking in her surroundings. The forest she grew up near looked strange and unfamiliar, not only that, it felt wrong. Strange. She raised her nose to the wind, suddenly extremely wary of any danger. Growing dizzy, Elaina found herself slip to the ground in a clumsy attempt to sit. That does it, she thought. She stood up abruptly and turned back to the strange hole in the tree she had climbed into. She was about to crawl back in and hope for the best, when she heard something… someone…fighting. She was about to go investigate when a green, softly glowing light caught her eye. Their eyes closed, her two friends materialized slowly in front of her eyes, a serene expression on both of their faces. The glow quickly faded as Emily and Meagan shook out of their trances.

"Elaina! Look what you got us into this time!" Emily hollered as she was climbing out of the hole.

"ARGH! You're sitting on my head lady, GIT OFF!" Meagan commanded. Emily chose to ignore her, and instead got pushed off Meagan's head. They were all silent as they got situated, then Elaina was first to break the silence…

"ACK! I hate awkward silences!"

"Where are we? This doesn't look like any part of the forest that I've seen before." Emily stated.

There was a loud crash after someone yelled "SIT BOY!" The three girls glanced nervously at each other, then hurried off in that direction wondering what the noise was.

Inuyasha had once again angered Kagome and was once again plastered to the ground by that accursed word. Kagome was about to walk off when she sensed strange auras coming closer to them. She readied her bow and grabbed an arrow from her pack, preparing to shoot a deadly purifying arrow at anyone who threatened her. Instead of the terrible demon she'd been expecting, she saw three girls. They looked like they were from her time, early teens, but they could be demons in disguise.

One had blue and gold PJ flannel pants on with the word jackrabbits in gold going around the waist, and a blue t-shirt that had 'GRRRRRRRRRRR…' written on it (Elaina). She also had on an old army hat, a bunch of assorted pink bracelets, and 3 shark tooth-necklaces. Her hair was dirty blonde and pulled back into a low ponytail. The second girl had on various layers of pink, black, and white shirts and the longest black skirt Kagome had ever seen, with black high heel boots, which, by the way, she was having a very hard time getting around in, and finally, a very sharp looking silver star shaped necklace (Emily). Her hair was also blonde, but a shocking platinum blonde, almost white, that came to her chin and was straight as straw. The last one was dressed in very baggy black pants, a clingy black tank top with a picture of London on it over a fishnet shirt with long sleeves, and three chain necklaces (Meagan). She had light brown hair that fell halfway down her back, and was also very straight, but softer looking.

The heaving mass on the ground that was Inuyasha finally stood up, took immediate notice of the girls and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Kagome, looking the three younger girls over, temporarily forgetting her previous suspicions, said in the following order to Inuyasha:

"AWWWWW! She must be lost!"(She was of course speaking of Elaina, who had suddenly gotten a strange water ball yoyo out of nowhere and was batting it like a kitten)

"Oh. She's lost." With much less enthusiasm than when she was talking about Elaina. (Emily)

"AH! She's smoking!" (Meagan, who quickly hid a comically large cigar behind her back, her eyes shifting nervously)

"What? It's just a bubble gum cigar!"

"Then why is it smoking?"

"Errrrrr…That's not important!"

"Yeah," said Emily, giving Inuyasha a once over, immediately deciding he wasn't worth her time. Ignoring him, she turned back to Kagome. Her eyes were black, even though Kagome could've sworn they were light blue before, and the air around her rippled with purple magic. Meagan's eyes shifted from a muddy green color to luminous yellow and back again. Kagome took an involuntary step back, suddenly frightened. Meagan and Emily had apparently lost control of their powers due to the strange time period they were in, a time period where you hoped your neighbor's chickens were healthy, because if they weren't, you would be accused of witchcraft. Elaina continued to bully her water-ball yo-yo around. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha, knowing exactly what he was thinking. (What Inuyasha is thinking) I can take out the tallest first; she looks to be the strongest. Before Kagome could say "sit" Inuyasha had drawn the tetsusaiga, utterly convinced the three were demons, and was rushing Elaina, who still took no notice of her surroundings. In what seemed to be a precognitive moment, Emily had come up behind Elaina and roughly pushed her out of the way, mumbling something about how space cases would be the death of her, at the same time jerking her star necklace off and holding it before her in a quite threatening way. Kagome, still deciding whether the girls were threatening or not, still didn't subdue Inuyasha. Meagan's brow furrowed, and to onlookers it seemed as if her body began to ripple, like she was a mirage or something. The edges around her being grew fuzzy, and one had to focus extremely hard to see her. One by one, her molecules flew apart, and gathered back together to form Meagan. But this time, she wasn't Meagan. She was a poisonous striking snake that launched itself towards Inuyasha and, baring venomous inch-long fangs, buried them into his neck. Elaina, finally aware of her surroundings, was horrified at the violence in which her friends had retaliated. She sighed. "Expect them to go attacking innocent people behind my back," she muttered. "STOP!" she yelled at a surprising volume. "Ha, we were done anyway," snorted Meagan, somehow back to her original self.

Kagome was very alarmed at the proceedings, and even through their strange (and sometimes frightening) auras knew these girls were undoubtedly human, so she did the polite thing to do at the time and said, "Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"YES! I'm starved!" said Elaina at the mention of food.

"I don't care." Replied Meagan in a monotone.

"NO!" Yelled Emily and Inuyasha at the same time.

"Well, I'll light a fire." Said Kagome, ignoring Emily and Inuyasha.

"No need." Said Elaina, a fireball suddenly appearing in her hand. An astonished silence filled the air as the small, seemingly harmless flame danced about on Elaina's un-burnt hand.

"What?" Asked Elaina as Emily and Meagan hit their hands against their heads in unison.

Emily and Meagan half dragged, half pulled Elaina out of the clearing into a denser part of the woods. With no one else around, Inuyasha and Kagome started quarreling over the last cup of instant ramen.

"Elaina, what have we talked about? What have your parents talked about? Don't use your powers for stupid things like lighting a campfire when what's-her-name could have easily done it!" Emily said, her voice urgent. She continued with a scolding finger, "Besides, you know how tired it makes you…" Emily trailed off finally noticing what the patiently waiting Meagan had known before Emily had started her full-winded lecture. "Emily! Have you not noticed? This place—or time—makes our powers easier to handle. Not stronger, but easier to…let's say, access." Interjected Meagan in a tone that suggested she was speaking to a couple of preschoolers. Meagan thought, I wonder what color Emily's bra is. Probly just plain white cuz she's not… "MEAGAN! I am going to pull out your intestines and hang ya by them!" Emily hollered, while a strange wind started to blow. "Emily! Chill! It was just to show you how strong your powers are getting!" Emily, still blinded by rage, threw all her power at Meagan, knocking her out.

Elaina was menacingly watching a squirrel climb up a tree.

After dinner, Meagan and Emily were at it again, Meagan usually outsmarting Emily in a battle of wits, for sadly, Emily was usually unarmed if you get my drift.

"MEAGAN!" Yelled a very disgruntled Emily, dislodging herself from the low branches of a pine tree. "I didn't say you were fat, I just said how did you change that fast?"

"O well, you should pronounce your s's more clearly." Replied Meagan smugly.

"THAT'S IT WOMAN YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN!" Said Emily, launching herself in Meagan's general direction. Emily was bit touchy about her speech ever since she got a retainer.

"Yeah Meagan, how did you change that fast, it usually takes you like 10 minutes!" Asked Elaina, pretty sure something fishy was going down, come on, how many people prance around with a huge sword and feudal clothes? Thought Elaina. Emily snorted and laughed "… heh heh…prance."

"What are you talking about fool?" Said Inuyasha; pretty sure he was the butt of the joke.

Emily's eyes grew clouded with fury, and in a voice not her own said, "WHAT!"

"Eheh heh… err nothing no-nothing at all!"

"Ow!owowowowowowowowowow!" yelled Elaina as a small headache went through Inuyasha and seemed to pass over him. Elaina was now a crumpled heap on the ground, groaning. "Emily." She said weakly. "FIX YOUR AIM!" She screamed, loud enough to make Kagome cringe with pain—and she wasn't even right next to Elaina (poor Emily).

While Emily was mumbling several apologies to Elaina, Inuyasha chose to make a comment; "WHAT IN SEVEN HELLS WAS THAT?" he yelled, (not anywhere near as loud as Elaina though).

"That was her power." Meagan said in an 'I know all' type of way.

"So ...are you gonna tell us or are we gonna have to pry it outta ya?" asked Elaina, recovering from her Emily-induced 'shock'.

"Tell you about what?" asked Kagome

"Where are we?" They said in unison.

"Uh..." Kagome hesitated. Should she tell them? They were only a bunch of girls...but on the other hand, they were powerful...

"Well?"

"She doesn't have to tell ya if she doesn't want to!" Inuyasha chimed in.

"Yes she does...unless you have somethin' to say about it!" Challenged Elaina.

"What if I do?" He challenged back. It was like playing devil's advocate with two stupid people... actually, it was playing devil's advocate with two stupid people!

"Are ya gonna say it or am I gonna have to take your head off?" Elaina threatened, so suddenly changed from an innocent airhead to a very threatening person indeed.

"...Nope. Your gonna have to try to take my head off."

"No problem!" she said cracking her knuckles.

"Oh! When you're dead, do you want to be eaten, buried, or cremated?" he asked cockily.

"Buried… but you don't have to worry, because you'll be gone way before I die!" she replied back, just as cockily.

"You want to say that to my face you little brat?" yelled Inuyasha, getting frustrated. He was supposed to win the war of insults!

"Hey look at that you guys," gestured Elaina to Emily and Meagan, "it's not every day ya meet a dog man with two rear ends."

"It's not every day ya meet a dog man, period," replied Meagan. How does that make sense? Thought Inuyasha haughtily.

"Well, you asked if she could say that to your face when she clearly already was!" Stated Emily simply.

"How are you doing that?" Asked an incredulous Inuyasha, jumping back a few paces.

"Hello! Back to me here! I'm the one who started the battle!" Said Elaina impatiently.

"Right, what were we talking about again?" he asked sarcastically.

"Yap yap yap, is that all you know how to do? Let's see some new tricks boy. Come on. Here Fido!" she said, whistling.

"I'm not a dog, dammit!"

"Well ya sure smell like one! Have you ever heard of soap? Whoo you stink!"

"Grrrrrrr you little bit-"

"If you hate me so much, why don't you come at me? Swing your little sword or whatever it is you do."

"Fine, taste my Tetsusaiga brat!" he said, as he swung his sword as hard as he could at her. Then, all at once, she disappeared.

"Huh? Where'd she go?" he yelled, looking around.

He felt someone tap her shoulder and he whirled around to find Elaina staring right back at him.

"Too slow!" she said with a giggle.

"I knew it! I knew you were demons!" he said once again, swinging at nothing but air.

"Sorry, not demons just highly talented individuals!" echoed Elaina's voice all around him. Then, a foot came flying at his face, and he was pinned to the ground by Elaina. "By the way, forgot to ask you whether you would rather be buried or cremated," she declared triumphantly. "I could cremate you here and now… Or would you rather make me go and get a shovel to bury you alive?" While she was rambling he flipped her over so she was now the pinned one.

"Damn, how is she always the pinned one!" Meagan asked Emily, which was met with a cold stare.

"Good, but if you can't take the heat …get off me!" While Inuyasha tried to figure out what she meant, Elaina spontaneously combusted.

"Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot! Damn you!" he yelled as he blew on his hands.

"Now that you've seen my power do ya think ya can handle wildfire!"

Damn, she's more powerful then I thought! Inuyasha thought.

Suddenly, Kagome decided to finally intervene. "SHUT UP SHUT UP!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, once again proving the awesome power of an agitated female. She smiled nervously at the crowd of people, now frozen in mid-action. Elaina, still a human campfire, was sticking out her tongue at Inuyasha, who was in the process of swinging his tetsusaiga, holding it halfway between his head and his back. Meagan was laughing almost hysterically on the ground, and Emily was having a very engrossing silent conversation with a small ladybug. Emily giggled softly at some inside joke she and the ladybug had apparently shared. Slowly, they all turned to Kagome. Inuyasha, forgetting the way he was holding the sword, fell over.

"Errrr…could you guys keep it down a little?" Said Kagome, obviously uncomfortable.

Emily, being slowly brought back to reality, glanced at her watch. She glanced again, but this time she tapped it and held it up to her ear as if checking to see if it worked. Her eyes grew clouded with untold rage and vehemence as a strange wind began to blow, her features twisted into a mask of hate. Her hair blew about her face and lightning struck far away. "You guys…WE…ARE…VERY…LATE…. FOR…. SCHOOL."

You see, Emily is very particular about time. She thinks being late is like the eighth deadly sin or something. Her "late limit" is two minutes, and she only owns one watch. A string of curses came out of her mouth, and Elaina and Meagan, seeing where this one was going, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back into the forest the way they came from, sprinting as a shell shocked Emily trailed behind. Maybe it was to prevent her of more psychological damage, or maybe it was to keep Emily from turning on Inuyasha. Though Elaina didn't like him very much, they both knew nothing could stop her if she made up her mind to kill him. Kagome and Inuyasha heard tramping noises slowly fade as the girls grew farther and farther away.

(Silence.)

"I so won!" Scoffed Inuyasha.

"Psh, yeah, sure." Replied Kagome, coddling his ego.

That was a little weird. Thought Kagome. I wonder if they'll ever return.
