1Kagome took out the small pair of jewel shards made into a necklace and looked at the others. "This should be just enough power to get us through the well, but Shippo, could you stay behind and watch Kilala? I'll bring you take-out as a reward!" she said as Shippo's eyes lit up.
"Anything for take-out... I mean, you Kagome!" he replied with an amicable smile
"Then it's settled. Just remember, you'll have some trouble getting past my Grandpa, Ok Ari?"
Ari nodded her head. Jin growled in a low warning tone telling the others he wouldn't feel the least bit guilty if he hurt Kagome's Grandfather.
Soon, each of them jumped through the well and slowly walked out of the shrine. As if Kagome were psychic, her Grandpa immediately ran up and started inspecting Jin and Ari. Her brother came up and jumped on Inuyasha.
"Welcome back Inuyasha, Kagome! Who're your new friends?" he asked
"They're Tiger Demons! I never ever thought I'd see one! They don't even exist in this time! Oh my... even they're eyes are cat-like."
This hit Kagome like a bag of heavy shoes. Of course! She needed to hide they're demon features! Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku would be no challenge at all, but Ari and Jin looked even more like demons than Inuyasha. Their tails, eye color (and cat-like slits for pupils), and of course Jin's unrealistic pale skin. They needed a humanizing make over.
"Um guys... we really need to find something to make you look like humans. Demons don't exist in this era..." Kagome pointed out
Ari pouted. "Why not? That's mean. Is there something wrong with us?"
"No no! It's just that... you probably went extinct." this time Jin spoke up
"Who the hell killed us off?" he asked
"Probably Naraku." Inuyasha mumbled bitterly
Kagome brought them back to earth. 'That's beyond the point! Shota, go find Inuyasha, Jin, and Miroku some clothes. I'll take care of Sango and Ari."
It wasn't as hard as Kagome thought to hide Ari's demon features. She wore plain jeans to hide her tail and sunglasses to hide the eyes. Same with Jin, but he had to wear a cap as well for his ears, like Inuyasha. Then, off to the doctors office.
Jin was still being protective. For one, he almost killed the X-ray, for two, he almost killed the doctor. But Ari's ankle wasn't as bad as it seemed.
"She should be able to walk without crutches, and normally she'd have to have surgery, but the bones shards should pull together within 3 weeks." He said. "Now you kids be off."
Kagome smiled brightly. "We'd better head back to the feudal era before..." she never finished one of her school friends had called from behind
"Hey Kagome!" even worse... all 3 of them were there. "Cool new friends are you going to introduce us?" Kagome shook her head frantically
"These are my country cousins! They can't speak, they're uh... Dumb!" Ari flared at this
"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" Kagome sweat dropped 'Oops, I meant to say dumb as in mute... heh heh...'
"Okay they're not dumb, but they're still working on their English!"
"Cool!" one replied "Then you can introduce us, and while we're at it, let's go shopping! Hojo won't be jealous if they're just your cousins right?"
"Um.. Yeah..." Kagome reluctantly agreed She couldn't sayno...
"Uh um... Hi Hojo! H-have you m-m-met my c-cousins?" she stammered fearing somebody would take off Ari's glasses or Jin's hat for fun. She couldn't risk telling her friends about the feudal era.
"Let's grab a bite to eat. I'm starved. What about you guys?" Hojo suggested looking towards Kagome's 'Cousins'
"Sure! Where do we hunt?" Ari piped up
"Uh um, no Ari, here in the city we don't have to hunt for food. He he, she's still getting used to modern life." Kagome lied, she whispered to Ari "Now, humans buy food whenever they feel like it." Ari mouthed an 'Oh.' and nodded
Soon enough they were all sitting at a booth in the back of one of the mall's restaurants. Inuyasha whispered something to Jin as he was digging into his Ice Cream. No later had he said this was a fight started. At first they were just whispering in angry tones. But Inuyasha must've said something offensive because Jin stood up and took a slug at Inuyasha.
"Take that back half-breed!" Inuyasha jumped onto the table and onto the edge of a chair, knocking it over. Jin got on all fours (he held back on turning into his tiger form) and pounced at Inuyasha. They both kept going at it an people in the background were shouting 'Fight!'. Soon enough Inu's cap fell off and so did Jin's sunglasses.
People gasped at the unbelievable sight. Kagome couldn't help it. Ari was already on Jin's back trying to get him to stop, she had to do something as well.
"Osuwari!" she yelled at the top of her lungs Inuyasha fell, landing right on top of Jin. Ari managed to jump out of way while making sure she didn't land on her left ankle. Her sunglasses however, did not make it... they were crushed under the yaoi-looking site that was Inuyasha and Jin.
Carefully they both stood up and looked at the amazed faces. Kagome grabbed Inuyasha, Jin picked up Ari and (you didn't forget about these 2 did you?) Sango and Miroku ran out of the restaurant.
None of them stopped until they had reached the shrine and all jumped through. They didn't even stop t change.
Back in the Feudal Era-
They all landed somewhere about 3 feet from the well. Shippo and Kilala had still been waiting for them in the same spot. Each one looked from one to the other. Suddenly they all collapsed in laughter as Shippo and Kilala gave them baffled looks.
"They've lost it Kilala. Do you think they're drunk?"
Kagome walked up to Shippo, "It's not that, Shippo." she said handing him the take-out, everyone else gave her a How-the-hell-did-you-remember-that look. "We'll tell you later."
Inuyasha looked at Ari. "When we set up camp somewhere, you'll have to, you'll have to tell us about that 'Curse' Naraku was talking about. And I still need to blackmail you, so I need to talk about it so I remembered that he called you lovely." He snickered slightly as he quickly received punishment from Jin...
