LadyKatreina sobs."I don't own Inuyasha."

Kagome actually did go to the bathroom. When she came out of the stall to wash her hands she felt terrible. "She didn't deserve it." Resigned to tell the woman she was sorry when she next saw her, Kagome walked out of the bathroom. Just as someone was walking in, theperson on the other side got slammed in the face with the swinging door.

"Kami!" Kagome bent to help the woman up. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you!"

Kikyou looked up at her attacker. "You!" She nearly succeeded in pouncing on the look-alike, but since Kagome was behind her she was off by a few feet.

"You!" Kikyou screamed again, slightly screeching. "You're the sick look-alike! You," Kikyou stood up wiping of her mouth. "Destroyed my dress!" Gesturing to her stained dress, Kikyou began to circle Kagome. "You embarrassed me in front of my friends," She gestured to a group of people huddled around a table looking at the two, each a little wide eyed and pale. "And you have a terrible plastic surgeon, I mean look at your breasts! They look so fake." Kagome merely blinked. "And your lips, they're so tiny, I doubt that you have had any guy in bed. And you're makeup is terrible."

Kagome was suppressing giggles, as Kikyou listed Kagome's various imperfect surgeries consisting of her butt, thigh, fingers, hips and a few different places that had the females at Kikyou's table blushing hard.

"And you have a terrible taste in friends, as I stated before. With them you're at the bottom of the chain," Kikyou's voice was raising so that the majority of the costumers were sure the sewing class across the street would start throwing various sewing utensils. One went so far as to guess they'd sew up Kikyou's mouth. "With me you would have been at the top, but I wouldn't take you in even if you begged. You'll have to settle for these half-dead nothings."

Kikyou had stopped pacing and she was enjoying the new effect she had on her adversary, including clenched fists, tense shoulders and darkened eyes. "I'll show this nobody, that nobody messes with Kikyou. Come'on you wench, I'll give you a cat fight." Kikyou didn't realize the irony until later... much later.

Kagome was fuming, Naraku and Sango were her friends. "Nobody puts my friends down!" Kagome walked up to Kikyou, and was a tad shorter then the 'leggy' Kikyou. So, furthering Kikyou's self-image, Kagome had to look up. The entire restaurant gasped, they didn't dare do anything because Kikyou's boyfriend's brother owned at least half the city, and it wouldn't look good on any resume or in any job to have Sesshomaru mad at them.(Naraku and Sango were discussing this slight difference in height, -instead of wasting breath gasping- all in doctoral terms so the table next to their's was a little lost on the details of Kikyou's challenger.)

"You," Kagome addressed Kikyou in clipped tones. "Just crossed the line." Kagome had never actually participated in a fist fight, "but," she thought to herself, "Might as well try something new."

"Oh re-" Kagome had slammed her fist into Kikyou's solar plexus. Kikyou was gasping for air as her vision around the corners turned slightly red.

Screaming an incoherent word Kikyou charged Kagome... or tried to. Because of Kagome's weight Kikyou only managed to jump into her arms.

"You are a light thing." Kagome was squeezing Kikyou tight. "Makes you all the sweeter." The last word ended in a type of rage that can be frequently found in recently caged large cats.

Kikyou shuddered, "This powerhouse is- never- going to stop! I gotta get away before she kills m-"

Kagome dropped Kikyou onto the floor. Kikyou's knees buckled and she was lying on her back, with no intention of getting up. Kagome looked at her, a look of disgust in her features.

"Never call my friends low." Most of the staff, because of Kikyou's nature, were hoping the crazy look-alike would kick her. To their disappointment, she didn't.

"Waiter," Naraku called, quite pleased at how things turned out, and really touched Kagome would attack someone because they called him and Sango low. "Check please."

"Oh wow!" Sango was nearly jumping as they walked to her car. "Kagome do you know what you just did? You just knocked out Kikyou! Oh boy is she going to be sore in the morning."

Kagome was still in a tiff about Kikyou's actions. She looked up at the setting sun. "She was rude, and mean. I hope I never see her again!" She waited a beat. "But I really think it's funny that she thinks I've had plastic surgery. Or make up. Oh my gosh! I didn't think about it until just now, she was comparing herself to me, so wouldn't that mean- Oh eew!"

"Kagome," Naraku said opening the side pocket door in the car. "It's a well known fact that Kikyou surpasses Barbie the Talking Doll, in being the most plastic toy. Inuyasha's toy in fact."

Sango, after getting in, started the car by pressing a glowing button for three seconds and pressing the gas peddle.

Pushing the thought of Kikyou aside, Kagome studied the car, she didn't have any time earlier since she had dozed off, and was amazed, so she started asking questions. "What type of fuel does this car take?"

"Fuel?" Sango seemed confused.

"Hydrogen." Naraku answered. "Sango doesn't recognize the term because it was used before her time."

Now Kagome was confused. "But aren't you both, like, the same age?"

Naraku and Sango looked at each other, and giggled. "No." Both answered firmly.

"Oh! Tires! I didn't see any tires on the car!"

"Now that I can answer," Sango said to Naraku. "This is a newer version of the hover car, it doesn't go above five feet, but really helpful when you don't want to run over little animals."

"Key?"

"We use a finger pad," Naraku tapped on the glowing button. "Much safer, and it's harder to loose your finger print than it is to loose keys."

"Storage, I sure didn't see a trunk back there."

"I didn't need the storage unit, so I didn't buy a car with one."

Kagome felt kind of dumb. "Well duh," she berated herself. "How old are you?" She addressed Sango.

"Twenty-five."

Kagome was amazed. "You sure don't look it!"

"Thanks."

Naraku interrupted, "Kagome," he said in a low voice. "You're from a different planet."

Kagome glared at Naraku. "Naraku." She said mocking him. "You're slow."

"Kagome! How is school over on the 'other side'?" Sango suddenly pipped up after a few seconds of silence.

"Okay I guess, what I really like about school was my friends... I hope they're doing alright."

"So school's still a drag no matter what universe you're from." Sango seemed slightly dejected.

The car fell into a quiet, filled only with the soothing hum of the hydrogen engine.

An absurd idea rolled around Kagome's head. "Sango..."

"Yes, Kagome?" Sango yawned.

"Do you still go to school?"

"Well tha- aaa- t's ah silly question." Naraku yawned.

"Of course I do."

Kagome, about to follow pattern, chocked on her yawn. "What? Really? Are you in college?"

"Of course not! What do I look like to you? Thirty?"

Kagome's eye twitched. "Naraku, how old are you?"

"Twenty- eight."

"And you're in school."

"Yes... Where are you going with this?"

"You're both in your mid- and upper- twenties and your still in school!"

"Of course!"

"How the heck do you measure years?"

"Half a revolution around the sun." Sango said in a condescending tone.

"Oh. How far away are you from the sun, in astronomical units."

"I dunno, one and a half?" This came from Naraku.

"And an astronomical unit is 93 something miles right?"

"That sounds about right."

"So that means the density is less here than on My Earth, because it's further away from the sun. So I'm used to a greater gravitational pull... I think... There are so many scientific things screwed up here, no offence- love the car. I'm just not going to think about it."

"Great idea." Naraku huffed.

"..." Kagome was thinking about when they had weighed her in the hospital. "Did you use pounds or grams when you weighed me?"

"Pounds, it's difficult to correctly weigh grams, but we do have a- Grams! Why didn't you use grams!"

"We didn't think of it." Naraku said sounding miffed.

Kagome cut in before he could say anything else, "But my density would be greater anyways and you still would've freaked out."

"And I told you that's why Kagome was shorter!" Sango shouted as she pulled into a parking ramp.

Naraku stuck crossed his arms and stuck out his tongue.

"Sango? Why didn't the hospital people notice that I was super heavy?"

"Well they have a portable hover table that they slip under the victim, so they probably didn't notice your weight... but I think I should've! I work around hover tables all day..." Then she thought about the morning's events. "I guess I was a little preoccupied." After Naraku helped Kagome out of the car they headed to the elevators. What surprised Kagome was that the elevator was a sheet of thin metal on the bottom and top, and three sides of a transparent plastic. It had no cables and no suspension system... it might've but it was just in the middle of the parking lot next to a large sign screaming ELEVATOR.

Since the others didn't pronounce any dislike for the 'elevator', Kagome got into the plastic box feeling foolish.

Kagome jerked a little when a thin webbing appeared in the 'doorway'. And muffled a scream into a cough when they started moving. The going up sensation was familiar, but she thanked Kami under her breath when she got off.

"You two live together?" Kagome's eyes were wide.

"Nah," Naraku said. "She lives on one side of the hall and I live on the other."

Kagome looked at Sango for affirmation, Sango nodded. "That's weird!"

"Yeah, the hospital gives us rooms for free while we go to school, it's a good setup. We work at the hospital part-time, we get free rooms. And all I can think of now is my cosy foux feather bed."

"He brags about the foux feather bed every chance he gets. He loves it to no end." Sango put her finger on a red button across the hall from the door Naraku disappeared in. It turned green and they went inside.

"And then..." she sobbed. "She slapped me! I hadn't done anything!" Tears were rolling out of her eyes. "It was so scary! I almost thought she was a demon... She hit-" Hick! "She hit so hard!"

Kouga looked at the woman in his charge. Sesshomaru had wanted him to look after her after she said the sob story to him. "More like wanted her out of his office while Inuyasha's away. That mutt can't even take his girlfriend with him while he combs the streets with his 'Hobo 'Awareness' Brigade. He could've shot her in the crossfire. Oops down she goes! And this girl that beat up Kikyou sounds like she'd be fun." Entirely forgetting about his soon-to-be-engaged-to girlfriend Kouga asked:

"What was her name?"

Kikyou look a little stricken. "I didn't ask her while she was hitting me!"

"Too bad."

Kikyou smirked, she had something she needed to tell Kagura. "Heh, heh. Kouga's thinking about another woman, a slut perhaps? Oh most definitely!"

I'm kind of sad. The only person who reveiwd said to me, "YOU BETER BE!"Not only is better spelled wrong but in chapter two I was saying "oh, I'm sorry for not updating in a really long time" and I get "you beter be" real encourageing. I'm not humbled.
Please if you decide to review. Do not have the 'word' beter in it.
