Kamihana, Kamia to her friends, waved good-bye to her friend, Flora, and proceeded to walk home to begin the boring summer vacation. It was a nice, clear summer afternoon but Kamia wasn't really interested. She spent time indoors and she never really like outdoors sports, except martial arts and cycling. One reason why she stuck out. On the other hand, it gave her flawlessly pale skin and kept her long black hair with two silver-dyed- what did you call them? Like the ones Kikyo had in the show Inuyasha in front of his ears. Bangs?- straight and perfect, just like her figure. Actually, Flora, who had also seen Inuyasha, said she looked almost exactly like Kikyo, except for the silver.
Oh that's right, she thought to herself, I need to pick up that Inuyasha DVD that's on hold for me at the library. She altered her route so it would take a detour to the library.
Done with her errand, Kamia walked home significantly happier. The DVD was on episodes that she hadn't seen before and they twirled around Kikyo and Inuyasha, by far her most not favorite relationship. Kamia mulled over why Inuyasha would still want a dead woman – not to mention one who wants to kill him – when her reincarnation was right in front of him. But then again, she mused, I've never been in love before so I guess it isn't my place to complain.
Kamia was basically, like millions of other people in the world, an Inuyasha fanatic.
Home, Kamia took a shower and started watching the DVD.

Chapter 1 – The Closet
Kamihana
Kamihana smiled at the show. It was nice, but she still liked Kagome and Inuyasha better. She yawned and walked into her closet. It was one of those giant walk-in closets and she kept a lot of stuff in there. She changed into blue jean shorts and a black t-shirt with the white words "Don't mess with me, you won't like the consequences" on the front. She pulled on black hiking boots and kid riding gloves as well. About to leave and go, Kamia spotted a bit of light pink near the end. That's strange, she thought, I didn't put anything pink over there, did I? She walked over to investigate.
It was a cherry blossom. Kamia was surprised. When did it get in here? She looked up and scanned the wall for a hole. Much to her surprise, she didn't see a wooden wall. She saw a stone one. Kamia looked down. She was standing on dirt. There was ivy growing on the wall and a hole at the top.
"I watch way too much Inuyasha," Kamia muttered when she thought immediately of Kagome and her well. Still an irresistible urge came over her to climb the ivy and look around.
Kamia reached the top with ease; after all, she was a black belt of some degree in pretty much every type of martial arts ever created. She looked up and she saw …… trees. A forest to be exact.
"Whoa," she whispered. "Awesome." Kamia climbed out of the well and set her feet on the ground. She stared. This was awesome. She spun hearing voices.
"Why do ya have to go back home now?" a voice Kamia knew well spoke. "We only have a quarter of the jewel shards left to find!"
"Shut up, Inuyasha!" another voice Kamia had memorized. "Summer vacation just started so I'm gonna stock up on supplies, rest, then I'll be here for two months! Be happy with that!"
"Yeah. What are you getting so mad about? She'll only be gone for a few days. And you can just go with her if you want." Kamia turned slowly.
"Shippo's right! I'll only be gone for three days!"
"But Kagome-!" The voice stopped. They'd topped the rise and spotted Kamia. Kamia just stood there and stared. There, right in front of her eyes, were Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara. Oh my god, she thought. She was pretty sure they were thinking the same thing.
"Kagome? Do you know this girl?" Sango asked, unnerved. Kagome just shook her head. "Do you know how she got here?" Another shake. Shippo seemed to be the only one not surprised.
"Well, she's from your era Kagome," he said nonchalantly. He jumped off Kagome's shoulder and walked over to Kamihana. Then her eyes widened. "She looks just like -"
"Kikyo," Inuyasha whispered. Kamia had put a hand to her mouth and now she lowered it, eyes flashing. She hated it when someone thought she was someone else. She stalked over to where he was.
"Look, Inuyasha," she spat out his name like venom, "I'm not your Kikyo so don't call me that! My name is Kamihana. Say it! Ka-mi-ha-na!" Inuyasha had backed away and now sniffed the air. Now he looked a little dejected.
"Your right," he grumbled, "You aren't Kikyo." He said it like it was her fault. Kamihana's temper aroused again.
"Shouldn't you be worried about Kagome's feelings instead of some dead woman's?" she snapped.
"Huh?" Kagome and Inuyasha said together. They got red in the face. Kamihana shook her head in exasperation.
"Come now, forget this argument. Please, what is your name?" Miroku interrupted.
"Kamihana, weren't you listening?" Kamihana replied.
"Kamihana, a beautiful name for a beautiful lady," Miroku took her hands, "Would you consider bearing my … Never mind." Kamihana foot had stomped on his and Sango's giant boomerang was on his head.
Kagome stepped forward. "How do you know our name's? And how did you get here?"
"I got here through my closet," Kamihana said, "As for your other questions…I know a lot about you." That's all she'd be giving away. Kagome nodded and accepted her explanation.
"Well," she said, "I have to go but I'll be back soon. For now you should probably wait with the others at Kaede's place until I get back. See ya!" Kagome jumped into the well and disappeared.
Kamihana turned back to the others. Sango attempted to loosen the tension.
"Well then," she said uncertainly, "Guess we should go now." She left and Shippo, and Miroku followed. Inuyasha stared at Kamihana for a few more seconds and followed with a "Hmph". Kamihana stuck her tongue out at his back and followed as well. It didn't look like she'd be getting back to her own time anytime soon.
