I do not own Inuyasha (but I wish I did), though I do own Amily.

Chapter 2: Cartoon Come to Life

Amily groaned, her eyes squeezed shut as pain sliced threw her head, something wet was dripping in her face, she slowly turned her head hoping that it would stop but when it didn't she lifted her hand to shield her face and agonizing pain streaked through her hand and arm causing her to cry out. Rolling onto her side and cradling her arm against her side she moaned out in pain, but as she lay there the dripping came more and more and the smell of damp earth began to invade her scenes, she slowly opened her eyes. In the gloomy light she saw grass, sitting up slowly and looking around her she saw trees in the dim light, realizing the dripping was rain she looked up and saw the dark rolling clouds over head.

"Where… the hell am I?"

Amily asked her self as she slowly got to her feet and looked around her, her eyes opening wide in shock.

"Where's… my house…"

She felt her heart starting to race as panic slammed into her. Something warm and sticky was running down her injured arm, she looked down to see dark blood running in a small river. In pain and in panic she started walking blindly, hoping that eventually she would come to a town. As she took a couple steps though her head swam dangerously. She fell to the ground as darkness swam in front of her; she lay there passed out in the poring rain, alone and injured while lightning flashed in the sky.

Kagome's eyes opened wide as she felt the vibration from the thunder through the rock of the cave. In the poring rain she could see smoke rising in the distance, she turned and looked at the others.

"Wow that was close, I think that one hit the ground"

"What? You afraid of a little thunderstorm, wench"

The remark came from the inu hanyou sitting on the floor with his legs crossed and his arm crossed over his chest while he smirked at the black haired girl. Kagome turned and glared at him.

"I am not"

"Keh. Are too"

Kagome grumbled and looked back out side, she lifted a piece of black hair that was on her cheek and put it be hind her ear, she said under her breath not knowing that Inuyasha had gotten up and walked up behind her.

"Stupid baka"

She heard him growl and turned around to see him standing right there, she could tell he was about to say something, when a gust a wind blew into the cave. He tensed and his eyes narrowed he looked out into the stormy weather, as the sent of blood came in with the rain laden air.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong"

Asked Songo, she got up and walked over to Inuyasha quickly, she was fallowed by Miroku and Shippo. Inuyasha ran out of the cave, calling out over his shoulder.

"I smell blood"

Everyone looked at each other before running after the inu hanyou. As they ran Kagome realized that they where headed to wards where she had seen the lightning strike and the plume of smoke that was left in its wake. They lost sight of Inuyasha as they ran but caught up with him in a field, standing over a girl. They ran up to him.

"What is it Inuyasha?"

Asked Miroku curiously

"What does it look like you lecher?"

Growl Inuyasha annoyed at the dumb question.

Kagome kneeled down and saw the girl's arm bleeding and badly burned, but she also noticed that the girls cloths where modern like her own, and not that of the past.

'Did she come from the future like me?'

She thought to her self

"Hey Kagome she's wearing cloths just like you. Did she come through the Bone Eaters Well?"

She looked down at the little kitsune and shrugged.

"I don't know Shippo."

She turned to looked at Inuyasha

"She's really hurt I think we should take her to Kiadea"

Everyone looked down at the girl as she groaned and turned her head to the side but didn't wake up.

"I told you, you should have brought your bag"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and glared

"I didn't think I was going to need it, and you said not to anyways because it would just slow us down"

"Keh. What ever"

Inuyasha grumbled but bent down and carefully picked the girl up, as he did her injured had moved and she cried out in pain though she didn't wake up. The group headed off quickly to wards the village. Kagome wondered who this girl was, and how she came to be in feudal Japan.

The strange girl slept on Kagome's sleeping role her eyes closed and her red hair matted and wet. Kagome watched her sleep, she'd never seen anyone with such a shade of red for hair, while Shippo's hair was a brown red, this girls hair was like the colour of fire. She wondered what colour the girl's eyes were. Kiadea had mixed up some healing herbs to help with the injuries, which had only gotten when Kagome had pulled out a piece of glass. After the herbs had been placed on the injuries, Kagome had wrapped it up. As she looked at the girl, Kagome realized that the girl on the sleeping role wasn't quite human, but she could not sense a demonic aura from the girl either. How is that possible, thought Kagome?

"What troubles ye child?"

Asked the old miko besides her. Kagome looked up at Kiadea and shrugged.

"She wears cloths like me but there's no way she could have come threw the well and I cant sense a demonic aura from her but she not human that much I can tell."

"That is very strange, young one"

"Yeah you got that right, old woman"

Said Inuyasha from the doorway. Kagome turned and looked at him, Miroku and Songo where right behind him.

"Inuyasha can you tell if she's a youkai?"

Inuyasha walked over to the girl and looked down at her

"She don't smell like one if that's what you mean. Why you asking wench?"

Kagome rolled her eyes at him calling her a wench he was always doing that, even though she didn't like it.

"Because I don't think she's human either that's why you dumb baka"

Inuyasha growled but didn't say anything. Kagome's right he thought, I don't smell youkai but I also don't smell human I wonder what she is… he continued to look down at the girl sleeping on the futon

Amily could smell herbs and wood smoke, her armed ached but it wasn't the shooting pain that she had felt earlier. She could hear people talking in hushed tones, and the pop and crackle of firewood, she must be out side she thought, but that couldn't be right. While the ground was hard it wasn't bumpy, but smooth. Amily squeezed her eyes tightly and groaned the voices in stopped talking and she heard the movement of feet towards her.

"Hey are you awake?"

Asked the voice of a child that was strangely familiar, the voice was poking her gently with its finger. Amily grumbled softly and mumbled.

"Please stop poking me kid"

She turned her head and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the pair of huge brown eyes of a small kid, the next thing she notice was his reddish brown hair and his pointed ears…. Wait, a minute pointed ears? Amily looked again, and yes sure enough the kid had pointed ears. The kid moved back and she got a good look at his face and something seemed very familiar about him, almost as if she'd seen him somewhere before…. Her heart skipped a beet, or two. Her eyes opened wide as her face turned pale as snow, this was impossible the kid looked a lot like…

"Hey Shippo is she awake?"

Asked another familiar voice and even though her head swam Amily sat up and looked to wards the voice, panic clawed at her as she saw the people out her favourite cartoon stare back at her.

'No, this isn't right'

She thought franticly. There is just no way this was possible, it had to be some kind of joke or something. Amily didn't know, all she knew is that she wanted to get out of there and soon. She shot to her feet, which caused the room to swim dangerously in her vision. She looked around for a weapon or a way out, seeing a stick with a burned end that looked like it had been used to stir the fire, grabbing it and holding it in front of her, she be to move to wards to the entrance of the hut. The people around the fire stiffened and got up slowly, she breathed in ragged gasps. The character she new as Miroku stepped to wards her slowly with both his hands up.

"Now come on my lady we are not going to hurt you"

He coaxed gently and Amily backed away from him.

"Stay away from me… just stay away from me," she warned him with a weak and shaking voice. She kept on backing away from him. Miroku stepped to wards her again, but ducked when she swung the stick at him nearly hitting him in the head with it. Amily turned her head sharply as she saw the character Kagome get up and walk to wards her slowly.

"We only want to help you that's all, come on put the stick down"

This was just too much for her, too much for her to comprehend. Amily threw down the stick down to wards Kagome making her jump away. Spinning around she ran for the entrance of the hut. She hit a living wall and stumbled back a few feet.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Growled the wall, Amily looked up and saw the silver hair, dog-ears and golden eyes that where Inuyasha her eyes opened wide and she backed away. A roaring noise filled her ears as the world went dark. As she fell to wards the floor she felt arms go around her, catching her.

Inuyasha looked down at the unconscious girl in his arms and pushed her towards Miroku who took her and carried her back to Kagome's sleeping role. He placed her there to let her rest. Inuyasha looked around.

"Mind telling me what the hell just happened?"

He growled. Kagome looked up at him.

"I don't know she woke up, saw us and she just freaked out."

Miroku stood up and he looked at everyone.

"Well that went well" he commented

Inuyasha growled and narrowed his eyes at the monk.

"Shut up you damn monk"
