May 31, 2005: I am writing this on this day, there is something wrong with my computer. I swear. I can't log on, I'm not getting my e-mail, unless the person is in my address book. I can't update, I have a bunch of chapters ready, so please be patient. If I ever don't update for a while, then you should review as much as you can and see what's up. If I don't update almost immediately after I get a review, then you know something is wrong.
So sorry for the delay.
Okay, since you might want to know, this is rated T because of some future scenes and language. Maybe a little violence, but not very much. Also I'm trying to decide if I should end this where I was planning to end it or not, I don't think that I should, but I might. Tell me, should they defeat Naraku in this story or not? I know how they would if they were going to…but I don't know if I should do it!
Note: People, please remember in the first chapter Jenny's hesitation before she told them her "name." Also, have I not made it obvious that Jenny is more then she appears to be? Please put one and one together people, because I don't want to have to explain why everyone is calling her Moga. And Moga is just a nickname. Thank you.
Also A Note: Okay, so I've been reading a lot of stories lately, and this is really starting to get on my nerves. ONLY NARAKU GOLEMS HAVE TENTACLES! NARAKU HIMSELF DOES NOT HAVE THEM! IF NARAKU HAS TENTACLES THAT MEANS THE INU GANG IS FIGHTING A GOLEM, NOT NARAKU! I'VE ONLY SEEN THE FIRST SEASON OF THE ANIME, BUT I'VE READ ALL THE MANGA, UP TO 21! NARAKU, THE TRUE FORMER ONIGUMO DOES NOT, I REPEAT, DOES NOT HAVE TENTACLES!1
If I'm wrong about this, and you can prove that I'm wrong then feel free to flame me. But I'm pretty sure that I'm right, and this is getting really annoying. Not that I hate any story where he has tentacles or anything, but…actually I haven't read one Inuyasha story where they fight Naraku where he doesn't have tentacles. Man…Maybe I am wrong?
Oh…Anyone know if I can buy the second season on DVD? I don't have Cartoon Network, and my VCR player doesn't work, and I don't have fast internet connection, and I only get WGBY, ABC 40, and FOX 61. Man, that sucks. Anyway, you can read now. And please, please review.

Enter Hojo, the Hobo
Normal POV
"He's your WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled. He turned on Kagome. "You have a stalker?" But Kagome wasn't paying attention.
"He's my WHAT!" The girl screamed at Jenny. "I have a WHAT!"
"That's right…you guys didn't know that he was your stalker, did you now." Jenny said thoughtfully, as if just to herself. "Only Sota and I knew…slick Jenny, real slick." Jenny looked at Kagome. "Okay, so here's the deal. Hojo thinks that you're staying in your room, which was where I was staying. So every time your Mom went out for her night shift at the hospital In my story Kagome's mom is a nurse. I think that would explain Kagome's very good, very full first aid kit. Hojo would start caroling love songs at your window. I thought this was very suspicious behavior, because I didn't know about the well, and I thought that you were in the hospital with cancer. So I started watching Hojo. Every time there was rumor that you would be some place then Hojo went there, even to all those nasty drug deals-" Jenny realized what she had said a moment to late and clamped her hand over her mouth, her eyes widening in horror. Inuyasha didn't know what was wrong but he could tell that it was bad because Kagome's aura had become dark and imposing. It seemed to suck up the moonlight.
"The what?" Kagome asked calmly. Her face looked tranquil, and everything about her suggested harmony except her eyes. Her eyes looked slightly red, and they were flashing not unlike those of a cat.
"I choose not to answer that question." Said Jenny after a moment's thought. "Because that is what is best concerning my life." Kagome looked like she was about to say something else but she never got the chance.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" A voice screamed from back at the clearing where dinner was waiting. It was Sango's voice.
"Let's go!" Shouted Inuyasha. He unsheathed Tetsusaiga and they all ran back to the clearing. Jenny was muttering something about how she was getting really sick of battling people every five minutes. But when they reached the clearing Jenny froze in shock, as did Kagome. Inuyasha however, looked at the small human boy who was wearing weird black clothes with some confusion.
"NO!" Screamed Jenny. She fell on her knees and started to pound her head against the rock. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! WHY MAN, WHY? WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN! WHICHEVER GOD DID THIS IS GONNA GET IT!" With that last threat the girl looked up and shook her fist angrily at the heavens. Kagome turned away from the boy, who was lying on the ground glaring at Jenny, and stared at her for a moment before opening her mouth to speak.
"What were you saying about drug deals?"
"Oh, yes…" Jenny looked up. "Please excuse me, but I'm sure Hobo would be only to happy to explain it to you. I, on the other hand, need to go kill something. If you'll excuse me." Jenny got up and stalked out of the clearing. As she passed Sesshomaru she grabbed Tokijin out of its sheath at Sesshomaru's waist. She bounded out o the clearing before Sesshomaru could tell what happened and he took after her.
"Get back here with my sword!" The youkai shouted after her. Everyone watched them disappear.
"O….Kay." Said Sago, then she turned to the boy. "Who the hell are you and why did you sneak up on me and pull my hair like that? And why did you do the other thing you did?" She asked the boy heatedly, though she also glanced nervously at Inuyasha. I don't really like Hojo that much. I think that he's a cocky little git who is to stupid to get by in life. He just gets on my nerves.
"I am very sorry." Hojo said, bowing his head towards Sango, who was looking at him in a shocked manner. "I thought that you were Kagome. And I thought that I would surprise her." Everyone blinked.
"Sango..." Kagome stepped up to her friend. "What did he do to you? What was he planning to do to me?"
"Oh..." Sango said. She blushed slightly and glanced nervously at Inuyasha before saying anything. Kagome saw the look and prepared to say the "s" word. "Well, it wasn't anything really perverted. It was just a peck on the cheek...only I thought that it was Miroku."
"WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled. He started to run at Hojo with a look on his face that meant death for the human. But, fortunately for Hojo, Kagome interfered.
"SIT Inuyasha! Sit boy!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha came crashing down to land on his face.
"Kagome!" Hojo said. H closed the distance between them with a few long strides and grabbed her hands in his. Inuyasha's mouth dropped open in shock. 'How...DARE he?' Inuyasha asked himself. "Kagome..." Hojo was saying. "Come on, I've come to bring you back home. I've come to rescue you...You need to get to a hospital as soon as possible!" Kagome groaned this was going to take some explaining, and she had to figure out some way to get Hojo out of there fast because otherwise Inuyasha was going to lose it.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha said. He stepped forward, jutting himself in between Hojo and Kagome. For once Kagome was thankful for Inuyasha's jealousy. Hojo's grip had been so tight that her hand had been starting to feel a little bit numb. Kagome shook it out while she looked at Inuyasha, trying to decide what she could say to avoid pandemonium. But Hojo, once again, spoke up,
"Kagome...Who is that? What is that?" Hojo asked her. Inuyasha turned on the boy, his face red with anger.
"Why you little--" Inuyasha shouted. Kagome sighed. It was going to be a slow night. She went over to where Rin and Shippo were climbing trees, completely ignoring Inuyasha and Hojo just like everybody else.
In the forest with Jenny and Sesshomaru"Wait a sec!" Jenny stopped running so unexpectedly that Sesshomaru ran right into her.
"What is it?" He asked her, grabbing his swords from her slack fingers and buckling them around his waist. He was having a little bit of difficulty with the clasp so he was only half-listening to Jenny.
"If Hojo is here...then that means that he must have gotten through the well!" Jenny said.
"So?" Sesshomaru asked, she now had his interest.
"So! The well...The CLOSED well!" Jenny said pointedly.
"Oh!" Sesshomaru said. He paused, then added. "Naraku must have enchanted it..." They looked at each other. They both knew what Naraku must have done, what would happen the next time someone returned to the feudal era. A slow half smile played gently across Sesshomaru's lips. "This might just work to our advantage." He said. Jenny nodded in agreement, then grinned.
"Oh! And I know just what to do!" She said. The pair sat down and worked out all the details in their evil plot...
Back with the others"STAY AWAY FROM KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted at Hojo. The two boys were standing at opposite sides of the clearing and they were still fighting. Miroku and Sango sat in between them to make sure that they didn't lunge at each other. Kagome was putting a small band-aid on a scrape on Rin's knee that she had gotten when she fell out of the tree. Shippo sat with Miroku and Sango, all three of them were talking and enjoying their dinner. Everyone was ignoring the fight.
"WHAT do you MEAN 'STAY AWAY FROM KAGOME!' She's MY girlfriend! Not yours Spike!" Hojo screamed back at Inuyasha.
"HEY!" Jenny barked. She and Sesshomaru had come back to the clearing. They looked oddly happy and smug about something. "Break it up you two." Jenny demanded. "And Hobo, only I'm allowed to call Inuyasha 'Spike.' I came up with it first, so there!" She began to giggle, then she started to dance around the clearing while everyone watched her in total silence, mouths slightly agape. "Happy dance, happy dance!" She sang. "Happy dance! Happy dan--" Sesshomaru grabbed her around the waist and covered her mouth.
"Will you shut up?" He asked her.
"I most certainly will not shut up!" Jenny said indignantly, shaking free of his grasp. "Do you realize that it's been one whole week since I read anything decent?" She asked him.
"Huh?" Asked Kagome. She had gotten the feeling that there was something that Jenny and Sesshomaru weren't saying. Jenny turned to her and grinned widely.
"The well is open." She said.
Kagome stared at Jenny in shock. An uneasy silence once again enveloped the entire group. Every one was glancing nervously from Inuyasha, Kagome and Jenny, and then back to Inuyasha. Even Hojo. Inuyasha and Jenny were staring fixedly at Kagome, who in turn was staring at the band-aid on Rin's knee. It was hardly adequate for the huge scrape, and it had been the last one that Kagome had found in her pocket. 'What will we do when someone gets injured?' Kagome wondered. She winced, knowing the argument that was sure to come next.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha said warningly. He took a step towards her, then stopped. "Don't even think about--"
We're going back Inuyasha." Kagome said it quietly, in hopes that he wouldn't hear. Unfortunately, due to his demon hearing, Inuyasha heard every word loud and clear. He scowled.
"NO!" Inuyasha shouted. "No way!" He stomped all the way over to her, completely forgetting everyone else. "There is no way in hell that I'm letting you run back home before we find another Shikon Shard!" He shouted. Truth be told, Inuyasha just didn't want her to go away.
"But Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted, getting to her feet. "We need supplies! What if we get into another battle? Huh? If one of us gets injured, then what? We're nowhere near a village, and we're running out of food as well! And I have a test, and I miss my family! You might not care about what happens to your brother, but mine is growing up without me! I haven't been home in a WEEK! I ALSO have a reputation to salvage!" Kagome stopped a moment for air and Jenny interjected.
"Not to mention the fact that if I don't get online soon I'm going to go psychotic on all of ya'!" Jenny said happily. Sesshomaru, on the other hand, suddenly looked very concerned.
"Wait..." He said. "How long has it been since you were last on a computer?" He asked her. She smiled in a disturbing manner, and Sesshomaru began to look very afraid. Everyone got the feeling that it wasn't a good thing if Jenny had been away from a computer for very long, and that she probably was serious when she said that she would go psychotic on them.
"Two weeks, three days, seven hours and counting." She said. Sesshomaru looked afraid for his life. And this is FLUFFY I'm talking about here, people, FLUFFY!
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked her, putting a hand up to her forehead. I know, I know, very un-Sesshy like. "Do you think you need to sit down?"
"I'm fine." Jenny said, smiling gently at Sesshomaru. "But I really need to go back through the well. COUGH COUGH, HINT HINT!"
"NO!" Inuyasha shouted. Jenny sighed.
"All right Inuyasha." Jenny said. "I didn't want it to come to this. I really didn't, but you give me no choice." She looked at Sesshomaru and nodded at him. "Fluffy, you know what to do." She told him.
"Jenny...Are you sure?" Sesshomaru asked.
"It's the only way." Sesshomaru nodded.
"Very well." He said. Sesshomaru turned to his younger brother. "Inuyasha, I am sorry, but it's the only way. This is for the good of all of us." Inuyasha's eyes narrowed n suspicion.
"FLUFFY!" Jenny barked roughly. "You're just making this harder for all of us. Do it NOW!" And, faster then the eye could follow, Sesshomaru had Inuyasha bound tightly to the trunk of a gigantic tree.
"What the HELL do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha screamed at him.
"Silence Inuyasha." Jenny said. She wasn't within Inuyasha's line of view, so he couldn't see what she was doing, but there was something in her voice that made him shut up. He heard a click like a cap being pulled off a bottle, and an acidic scent filled the night air. Hojo and Kagome burst into laughter.
"What?" Inuyasha asked, straining against the ropes to see what the American was doing. "What do you think you're doing wench?" Jenny came to stand in front of him. Lip stick in one hand, and mascara in the other. Sango and Miroku were now grinning as well.
"Inuyasha..." Jenny began slowly. "This is make-up." Inuyasha frowned. 'What does she think she's going to do with that?' He asked himself. Inuyasha tried to ignore the unpleasant sneaking suspicion in his gut.
"If you don't let Kagome come with me and Hobo back to the future then you will swiftly find out just how much you truly resemble Avril Lviegne. I'm warning you, it's not as hard as you might think." Inuyasha didn't know who Avril was, or what Jenny meant about him "truly resembling" her, but the girl had gotten her message through to him. And though his macho ego was taking a severe beating as it was, it would not survive the make-up. He had to let Kagome go back home.
"Feh." He said, turning his head away. Everyone relaxed.
"Thank you Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. Jenny was smiling and she undid Sesshomaru's tight knots, letting Inuyasha free. Once he had moved away from the tree Kagome jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, still saying thank you. Inuyasha was shocked for a moment, then he let himself put his arms around her body, hugging her back. He felt his iron resolve weaken and he let his head fall softly onto hers. 'So...Soft...' He thought.
"Huh?" Kagome staggered under Inuyasha's dead weight. Sango and Shippo jumped up and helped her to stand up under the sleeping hanyou while Miroku, Sesshomaru, Jenny and Rin stood watching and laughing. Hojo just watched. His eyes were narrowed in a heated glare directed at Inuyasha and his arms were crossed over his chest. 'I don't like Inuyasha.' He thought. 'He seems awfully close with Kagome. If I'm not careful he might steal her from me.' Idiot. She's not even with you. Grrr.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said as he fell to the ground. His eyes jumped open in alarm and he leaped to his feet.
"H--h--huh?" He asked. "What happened?"
"You...fell...asleep!" Shippo managed to say between giggles.
"I DID NOT!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Lets not fight." Kagome sighed.
"Yeah." Sango said, nodding in agreement. She yawned loudly, attempting to cover it up with her hand. "C'mon. We have a long way to go tomorrow. Let's all get some sleep." Everyone nodded in agreement and soon they were all asleep. Well, almost everybody. Inuyasha and Hojo were sitting on either side of Kagome's sleeping body, glaring heatedly at each other. Sesshomaru was watching them both. Not out of worry for either of the boys, but if something unfortunate were to happen to either of them it would jeopardize the plan.
