Chapter 2: Band-aids, Rice Wine, Offudas and Cookies

Kagome begins to sit up. Her headache is still throbbing from hitting the side of the well when she fell. She also can feel a bruise on her back from being slammed into it. She winces when she puts some weight on her left hand to push herself up.

I must have sprained it when the youkai pushed Sango and Miroku into me. Kagome thinks as she examines it.

At last, she leans up against the side of the well. She looks at her friends, thinking about what to do.

They must have been able to pass through since Inuyasha and I passed at the same time. So they must be able to go back the same way. Kagome looks at the gash on Inuyasha's arm and the numerous scratches along Shippo's face. Mama should fix them up from the battle before we go back though. They deserve proper medical attention.

But at that moment, it seems fate wanted to have fun with Kagome's definition of medical attention. All of the sudden, a large bucket of rice wine and offudas are dumped into the well. Everyone wakes up to a start.

"Ugh! What the hell is that smell?" Inuyasha gags as he holds his arm up to inspect his dripping kimono.

Kagome sniffs a strand of hair and peals an offuda off her hand. "Rice wine and offudas."

Everyone looks at her.

"GRAMPS!" Kagome yells.

Inuyasha and Shippo cover their now ringing ears.

"Ah ha! I told you Souta! It worked again!" She hears her grandfather say from the lip of the well.

Souta pokes his head in to look at her. "Hey Kagome! Inuyasha!" He waves at them but then frowns suddenly. "Who are they?" He asks as he points to the others in the well.

Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara look up at him and frown as well.

"Kagome, who are those people, and why are they dressed so strange?" Sango asks as she looks at Kagome.

Kagome wrings out a lock of hair, stalling to get ideas of how to explain what happened.

"Um." Kagome decides to go with blunt. "The bear youkai we were fighting pushed us all down the well at the same time. So, um, yah. You guys are in my time." Kagome looks at her friends. Blank expressions are plastered upon their faces.

"Your time?" Miroku says, completely confused.

Kagome gives a heavy sigh. "I'll explain in a little bit. But right now, lets get out of the well."

They nod in agreement.

Kagome then turns to the rope ladder to her left an begins to climb. She reaches the lip of the well and climbs out to face her grandfather and younger brother.

"I think this is yours." She says as she hands her grandfather a dripping offuda from her hair.

He gives a childish smile. "They did work though."

"They did not! The only thing they did was wake us up from being unconscious!" Kagome yells at him.

"Uh, Kagome?" A tiny finger pokes her calf. "I'm cold."

Kagome looks down and sees Shippo shivering from the cold rice wine. She picks him up and cradles him against her chest. She looks back and sees all her friends standing there, wine dripping off of their hair and cloths.

"Let's go outside, it'll be warmer there." She says as she climbs the stairs. She opens the sliding door and is temporarily blinded by the bright light, as well as her friends. She steps towards her house, hoping her friends don't bombard her with questions.

Lucky for her, all except Inuyasha are awestricken about what they see.

Hard stone-like walking paths, metal birds soaring in the sky, and a house that sits in the middle of the grounds. They don't know what to say or ask, everything is so foreign.

Kagome walks towards her house, friends in tow along with her grandfather and brother who are looking at the strangers with confused expressions.

At last, she reaches the back door. She slides it open and is greeted with the smell of baking cookies.

"Mama! I'm home!" She says as she persuades her friends inside.

"Oh Kagome! I'm so glad your back!" Her mother says before she rounds the corner from the living room. "I'm making some cookies, they'll be done in-" She stops talking when she sees a fox-child in her daughter's arms. She looks past her and sees two oddly dressed humans, one with a tiny two-tailed cat in her arms as well as Inuyasha.

"Mama, these are my friends from the feudal era." Kagome says as she nods to her friends behind her. "This is Shippo." She lifts her arms to indicate who he is. "The man in the robes is Miroku. The girl with the boomerang is Sango. And the cat in her arms is Kirara."

Her mother looks at her daughters friends and gives a happy smile. "Well welcome!" She says cheerfully. "It's very nice to finally meet you! I've heard much about you guys!"

"I-It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Higurashi." Sango says with a slight bow.

"Yes, very nice to meet you. We have also heard much about you." Miroku says as he too bows his head.

Suddenly, Shippo jumps in Kagome's arms. "Eek!" He squeaks in shock. He looks down and sees the boy that was in the well house.

"Souta! You scared Shippo!" Kagome says as she glares at her brother.

"Sorry. I just didn't think that his tail was real." He says as lets go of the fluffy appendage.

"Oh yah!" Kagome says as she looks at her friends. "This is Souta, my little brother. And the crazy old man who threw rice wine and offudas on us is my grandpa."

"Rice wine?" Her mother says. "Dad! I was going to use that in the stew for dinner!"

Her father races out the back door, suddenly eager to finish the chores.

"Beware Shippo, he'll be drowning you in sutras by the end of the day." Inuyasha says as he slumps down into a chair.

"Ah! He'll purify me!" Shippo says as he shivers.

"Relax Shippo. They don't work." Inuyasha says in an annoyed tone.

"I'm right here you know!" His voice caries through an open window.

"Kagome, I thought only you and Inuyasha could pass through the well." Souta says to change the subject.

Kagome gives a sigh. "Souta, can you get the first-aid kit. I'll explain what happened as I bandage everyone up from a battle."

Souta races upstairs with a nod from his mom.

"Oh, have a seat you guys." Kagome says to her friends as she nods towards the chairs.

The tentatively sit down, still unsure of everything.

Souta reappears with a large white box with a red plus sign on it. "Here sis." He says as he hands it to her.

"Thanks." Kagome says as she places Shippo on the table.

For the next half hour, Kagome and her mother tend to the wounds of her friends from the battle. Souta sits in one of the chairs, observing and examining his sister's friends. Kagome explained what she thinks had happened as she tended to the gash on Inuyasha's arm earlier, but most of the time they were silent. Kagome and her mom remained focused on wrapping gauze and applying anti-infection creams, whereas Inuyasha remained focused on what to do when they got back to the feudal era, and the others just sat and looked around at all the foreign objects in the room.

Just as Mrs. Higurashi applied a band-aid to Shippo's cheek, the timer for the cookies went off. Everyone jumped at the sudden noise.

"Sorry." Mrs. Higurashi says. "The cookies are done." She walks towards the oven and grabs a rag.

Everyone watches as she removes a plate of chocolate chip cookies from the oven.

"How did those cook in there? It's just a metal box." Sango asks as she examines it from her chair.

"It's hard to explain." Mrs. Higurashi asks. "Think of it as the heat of a fire in metal coils."

"Oh." Sango says.

"We have to wait a few minutes for them to cool before we can eat them." Mrs. Higurashi says as she fans the rag over them.

Kagome finishes putting gauze over a cut on Kirara's side and looks at her mom. "You can put some in a bag, we should head back, Kaede is probably wondering where we are."

Her mother nods and begins to pack the cookies into a bag.

"Ok, we should be able to go back the same way we got here." Kagome explains to her friends.

They nod and get up from the table.

"It was very nice to meet you Mrs. Higurashi." Miroku says as he shakes her hand.

"Yes, very." Sango says as she keeps a close eye on Miroku's 'possessed' hand.

"Bye Mama!" Kagome says as she heads to the well.

As soon as they reach the well, Kagome senses something's wrong.

"Hold on." Kagome says. She looks down. It looks the same, but something just doesn't seem right. She leaps into the well, expecting to pass through. But instead lands hit's the ground. Hard ground. "Ok! Definitely pulled a muscle!" She calls.

Inuyasha leaps down into the well.

Nothing happens.

He picks Kagome up and leaps out.

"Why won't the well let us through?" Kagome asks Inuyasha.

"I don't know." He glares at the well.

"Well, Kaede did say that the well probably allows us to pass through because of the youkai auras that still lay in it. The youkai that we fought was really strong. It's paw fell with us, so maybe it overpowered the well!" Kagome says.

"That would make sense." Miroku says.

"But what does it mean?" Shippo asks.

"It means we're stuck here." Inuyasha says.

A/N: I'm sorry that was soooooooooooooo boring! It's basically a filler, everything really starts in the next chapter. Review please! The more reviews I get, the faster I update!
