Disclaimer- In a perfect world, Inuyasha would be mine. But alas, we are a flawed bunch of peoples.

AN- I shant keep you in suspense! At least not for very long.

A Difference of Opinion

Kagome gave a little cough. "Er, actually…I jumped this time."

Inuyasha's disbelieving expression only seemed to intensify at this reasonable explanation. "You jumped!"

Kagome pulled herself off of the hanyou and sat down next to him, tucking her legs under her so not to accidentally flash her undies. "Well, it's a long story as to why, but yeah. I jumped."

Now Inuyasha frowned in confusion at her words. "What do you mean it's a long story?" He gave her a quick look over. Although a bit dirty and somewhat disheveled, she was wearing the same clothing as when he had last seen her. So surely he hadn't been gone that long, right? He noticed her bandaged hand and straightened into a sitting position, grabbing her arm to look closer at it.

"What happened to your hand?" He could detect the scent of different herbs from under the wrapping. It smelled nothing like the normal medicines humans typically used. In fact, he couldn't detect any chemicals at all in the scent.

Kagome gently removed her arm from his grasp and brought her hand to her chest, covering it with the other. She looked at him somewhat sheepishly. "Actually, that's one part of the story."

"Then maybe you should start talking."

Kagome sighed and looked down to her lap. She really wasn't sure how to tell him what happened. She knew he would believe her, but wasn't sure how he would take it. He was unpredictable at best and some things she had found out were bound to make him…upset. 'Like the fact that what he does now is a pleasant experience next to what he was originally intended for.'

"I… don't know where to start," she said, knowing in her head precisely where she should start. 'So I fell down the well and ended up five hundred years in the past…what a coincidence huh?'

"People say that the beginning is usually a good place to start. So you fell down the well." Kagome looked up sharply as he echoed her own thoughts. "And then there was a bright blue light. And I disappeared before I could jump down and grab you."

Huh? Wait a minute. He disappeared? "Um, don't you mean I disappeared?" Her brow scrunched together slightly in confusion.

Inuyasha frowned slightly, scratching behind one ear. "Well yeah, I guess." Kagome tilted her head to the side, wondering why he had said it that way. "But then, everything disappears when I go back to sleep."

Kagome's eyes widened in shock. "You went back to sleep?"

He glared at her, looking a little peeved at her question. "Of course I did. Where the hell did you think I went when I left all of a sudden? You did notice I was gone didn't you?"

Kagome blinked at him. "Yes I noticed you were gone, but I was the one who left… Or didn't you notice?"

Inuyasha let out a growl of annoyance. "Of course I noticed that my entire world left! I'm not an idiot!"

Kagome was about to yell back at him when suddenly something clicked into place. 'Oh, I get it.' When Kagome had found out she had fallen through the well into the past, she had assumed the reason Inuyasha wasn't with her was because he was still stuck back in her time. It hadn't occurred to her that he might have left her completely. 'So he never knew I had gone anywhere but the bottom of the well.' In his mind, he thought she had been here the whole time. Perhaps a little bruised and broken, but here. Now she understood his confusion. And hers.

Inuyasha watched as the girl in front of him suddenly lost her angry expression and went still, looking down at the ground. A sudden look of comprehension came over her face and he silently wondered what she was thinking of.

"Oi, wench."

Kagome jerked her head up to shoot him an irritated look.

He rolled his eyes at her expression. She was way too sensitive sometimes. "Care to share what's going on in that head of yours?" Kagome just glared at him and for a minute he thought she was going to stay silent just to spite him.

"It's getting dark."

He blinked. Well, that wasn't exactly what he was hoping for, but it was true.

"Mom is probably getting worried about me." She looked up to the top of the well as if her mother would be standing up there, waiting for her.

"Kagome…" There was a small warning in his voice.

"I know, I know." She flashed him a guilty smile. "I promise I'll tell you everything soon. I just want to make sure my mom knows I'm okay, then we can go up to my room and talk." 'That will give me a few more minutes at least.'

Inuyasha gave an exasperated noise. "Fine, let's go then." He stood up to leave and suddenly swayed. He probably would have fallen if the side of the well hadn't been there to lean on.

"Inuyasha! Are you alright?" Kagome ran the few steps to his side and put a hand on his shoulder. He brushed her hand off irritably and straightened.

"I'm fine. I just stood up too fast," he growled, mad at himself for looking so weak in front of her. Damn it, couldn't the ice pick behind his eyes stop stabbing him for two freaking minutes?

Kagome crossed her arms, not believing a word he said, but not saying anything either.

"What? Don't look at me like that."

She raised an eyebrow and gave him an eloquent expression.

He growled again. "Shut up."

Grinning like an idiot, she said, "But I didn't say anything Inuyasha."

"You were thinking too loud then."

She just shook her head sadly and turned her back to him. If he wanted to be a tough guy, then who was she to stop him from acting stupid? She looked up to the top of the well once more. "So… how do we get out?"

"How did you get out last time?"

"I climbed the vines."

There was silence for a moment and Kagome turned to see Inuyasha looking around the walls with a frown on his face. "But…"

"I know. There aren't any vines here."

Now it was his turn to raise an eyebrow. "Then how did you climb them?"

She just shrugged. "Later."

Inuyasha bit the inside of him cheek to keep from yelling at her. The sooner they got out, the sooner she would tell him what the hell was going on. "Alright, I'll just jump us out." Here was hoping he made it in his condition.

"What? It's almost thirty feet to the top!"

Inuyasha smirked. "That's nothing. I'm half demon remember?"

Kagome looked dubiously from Inuyasha to the top and back again.

Seeing her hesitancy, Inuyasha stomped over to her and grabbed her roughly around the waist, picking her up and throwing her over one shoulder.

"Hey!"

"Just trust me would you?" And with that, he bent his knees slightly and pushed off the ground with a grunt to leap over the top of the well.

Or almost anyways. Apparently, he wasn't quite as fine as he thought. He managed to grab the ledge of the well before they could tumbled right back to where they started; only wincing slightly as his head attempted to cave itself in. His breath came heavily as he waited for the dark spots floating around his vision to go away.

"That was pretty impressive, but are we going to stay like this all night?" came a voice from against his back. Clenching his jaw, he let go of the side with one hand and grabbed the back of her shirt, lifting her off of him and tossing her unceremoniously over the edge and onto the dirt floor.

Kagome let out a small squeak that was abruptly cut off as the wind left her lungs from her unexpected landing. She lay for a moment on the floor, staring dazedly at the ceiling before fully comprehending what happened. 'A simple no would have sufficed.' She picked her self off the ground gingerly, trying not to use her hand, as it had started throbbing again. 'I should have mom change the bandage, it's starting to get really dirty.'

She heard a grunt from behind her and glanced over her shoulder to see a very tired looking Inuyasha leaning over the edge of the well with his lower body still halfway in. It reminder her of the same position she had been in before, so deciding to forgive his rather rough treatment of her, she walked back to help him.

She only had her hand half way to his sleeve, when he glared at her and barked, "I don't need any help!" Snapping her hand sharply back to her side, she took a deep breath, ready to give him a rather large piece of her mind. Maybe it was the way he glared back at her defiantly, waiting for her angry words, or maybe it was the fine sheen of sweat she could see forming on his brow and his sharp, labored intakes of breath, but whichever it was, Kagome bit back her words and instead turned on her heel and left. She was out the door in the time it took Inuyasha to register the fact that he wasn't getting yelled at and blink owlishly at the empty space in front of him. Cursing darkly to himself he pulled his body the rest of the way out of the well and collapsed in a heap on the ground. He stood and leaned wearily against the side. What was the matter with him? He felt so tired. But… he never felt tired…

He had been leaning against the well for almost a minute before he realized he needed to get to Kagome's side soon. She must have been waiting for him outside since he wasn't feeling any pain that indicated she was too far away from him. Sighing wearily he made his way up the steps and through the wall, out into the dim twilight outside. His breath caught in his throat as he saw Kagome almost to her front door already. At least two hundred feet away from him. He waited for the inevitable soul searing pain that accompanied her distance from him, but it never came. Even as he watched her slide the door to her house open and go inside, he didn't even feel the familiar tugging in his chest to tell him where she was. There was just…nothing. He wasn't sure how he felt about that, though he was definitely confused about it.

After several minutes of staring at nothing, he snapped back to himself and started back to the house. It was time to find out what was going on.

"I'm really sorry."

"Truly Kagome, you had us worried to death."

"I know, I didn't mean to."

Mrs. Higurashi gave her daughter an affectionate smile and shook her head. "You're forgiven, but won't you at least tell me what happened to your hand?" She looked down at the dirty white wrapping with concern.

"I promise I will later. But I have to go study for my test now."

Kagome gave her mom a kiss on the cheek and grabbed the plate that was waiting for her up off the counter. "Thanks for saving dinner for me."

Her mother gave a small laugh. "No trouble at all. Don't study too hard, and come back down later so I can change that bandage. It looks filthy."

"Okay mom." Kagome retreated to her room, carrying a plate of steamed rice and shoga-yaki, inhaling the delicious aroma of ginger pork as she plodded up the stairs. 'Ahh, so hungry…' By the time she was sat at her desk, half the plate was gone. As she polished off the rest of her dinner, she began to notice something, or rather, the lack of something. 'Why is Inuyasha being so quiet? I would have thought he would be pestering me to get on with it by now.'

Setting her plate aside, she swiveled around in her chair to face the room. "Okay, I know I've been stalling, so thanks for being so patient."

When she didn't get a reply, she began to think the reason Inuyasha was being so quiet wasn't just out of consideration.

"Uh, Inuyasha?" Was he sulking outside still? No, he had to at least be inside. He wasn't able to go very far he had said. Deciding he was probably downstairs, she picked up her plate and chopsticks and headed back down to the kitchen.

She was just setting her dishes in the sink to dry when she heard Inuyasha speak from behind her.

"Did you talk to your mother?"

Kagome dried her hands on a dish towel as she spoke. "Yes, I did. And yes, I'll tell you what happened now. Where have you be-"Kagome broke off mid-word as she turned around to leave the room.

Her jaw dropped in a small O of surprise.

Frowning in concern, Inuyasha turned around to see what she was staring at. There was nothing behind him but an empty doorway. He peeked his head around the corner to see if it was something that had passed by. Nope. Just an empty hallway. He turned around and gave a small jump when he saw Kagome was less than a foot away from him, still staring with a slightly startled expression on her face. Suddenly she reached out a finger and poked him.

"Hey! What the-" He stopped, taking in the amazed grin on her face and the fact that she was looking right in his eyes. "Um…" He moved to the left. Her eyes followed him. He moved back to the right. She still trailed him with her eyes. His ears twitched involuntarily and she gave a little giggle. He suddenly backed out of the doorway and wheeled around the corner. He turned around and waited. Sure enough, she followed after him, this time with an amused grin stretched across her lips and a decidedly mischievous glint to her eyes.

"I see you…" she said in a sing song voice. She raised her hand to give him another poke, but he knew what to expect this time and her finger made no connection as it floated harmlessly through his body.

"Aw…"

"I've warned you about touching me wench," he said, his voice a low growl. She looked up worriedly, but caught the teasing glint in his eye and grinned in return.

"Can't blame a girl for trying."

"Feh, whatever." He turned around, heading to the stairs. "Hurry up will you?"

Kagome stuck her tongue out at his retreating back. 'I wonder if I should tell him I can see the pictures on the wall through his body…' She tilted her head to the side, thinking. "Nah.' Grinning once more, she followed Inuyasha to her room.

It was one thing to know a boy was in your room, stretched out on your bed. It was another thing to see it. But there he was, laying atop her fluffy pink comforter, head resting on her fluffy pink pillow, playing with her fluffy calico cat. It just wasn't right somehow… It must have been the pink, or maybe the fluffiness. She watched him for a minute, lounged on his side, his right arm stretched out under her pillow where his head rested, the other scratching Buyo's tummy and occasionally pulling his tail and feet. He finally looked up at her and gave her an irritated glare.

"Stop that."

"Stop what?"

He waved to her with his hand, almost knocking poor Buyo off the mattress in the process. "That. You looking at me. It's too weird."

She frowned in confusion. "But I've looked at you plenty of times at the well and the sacred tree."

"That's different," he replied stubbornly.

"How?"

He punched the mattress with his fist, this time bouncing the cat to floor with its force. Buyo landed with a thump on his back, flopping to his side slowly before getting up and jumping back on the bed. Kagome shook her head sadly at her cat's utter lack of feline pride. Didn't he know he was supposed to land on his feet?

"It just is."

Kagome brought her gaze to the annoyed hanyou once more. "I can see you Inuyasha; therefore I am going to look at you. Get used to it." And with that, the discussion was over.

Inuyasha sat up and crossed his arms over his chest. "Are you gonna spill already?"

"I said to give me a minute."

"I did give you a minute. In fact, I gave you at least three."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Well give me one more okay."

Muttering under his breath, Inuyasha pulled a submissive Buyo into his lap and proceeded to make him do a little dance.

She shook her head again. Absolutely no pride at all… She wondered if the other cats laughed at him. That would explain why he stayed so close to home all the ti- 'Wait a minute. This is not what I'm supposed to be thinking of. Maybe I should just start talking and hope the words come as I need them.' She took a deep breath, noticing that while Inuyasha was still giving Buoy ballet lessons, his ears perked up and turned to her. She was momentarily distracted by the thought of what a cute gesture that was and how much it reminded her of Buyo. But she pulled herself forcefully back to reality and opened her mouth to speak.

"Umm…" Okay, not the most articulate beginning, but she could try again. "I fell down the well."

When she paused again, Inuyasha gave her a look and said, "I knew that already, what happened next is what we're trying to get to, remember?"

'Oh for heaven's sake, why can't I just spit it out already?' One more deep breath, then, "I fell down the well and floated through a weird but kinda pretty blue and black space thing and ended up five hundred years in the past where I was kidnapped by a bunch of men who thought I might be a demon and brought to this old priestess woman called Kaede, though everyone calls her Lady Kaede, and she threw some salt in my face and figured I wasn't a demon since I didn't melt into a puddle or something and then we went to her house and talked and she told me you were bound to a tree by a really powerful curse, and that I might be the reincarnation of the woman who cursed you and that you weren't acting the way the curse was originally designed." All this was said in a rush, coming out in the same breath and when she stopped to gulp in some air, Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something. She held up a finger, indicating she wasn't done and he closed his jaw with a snap, waiting for her to continue.

"I had asked her if she would take me to see you, but she said I shouldn't go, so I said I wouldn't and went to look for you myself anyways, since I pretty much knew where you would be in the first place. I saw you bound to the tree and tried to free you, but ended up electrocuting myself and blacking out. Kaede found me and took me back to her home to patch me up." Here she held up her bandaged hand. "When I woke up, she told me I might be strong enough to break the curse after all, since I didn't die the first time I guess." She gave a nervous laugh at her sad attempt at humor, but saw Inuyasha didn't look the least bit amused so hurried to finish, looking down at her hands. "Anyways, she offered to train me and maybe learn a way to set you free. She also figured out how to get me home and said I would probably be able to come back to where she was any time. So I went home…uh, that's why I jumped back in the well. And that's pretty much it." She glanced up and found a very pissed off looking Inuyasha standing over her.

"Wha…what?" she stuttered tilting her head back to peer anxiously into his face.

He leaned down to until he was eye level with her. She could see fire burning brightly behind his lovely golden irises. What had she said to make him so mad? She hadn't even told him any of the bad stuff yet…

"You are not going back."

She blinked stupidly at him for a minute, before snapping back to her old self. Her eyes narrowed and she hoped her own brown eyes were burning as brightly as his when she growled back, "The hell I'm not."

Now it was Inuyasha's turn to blink in surprise as he stood back up straight. 'Did she just swear at me?' He dimly recalled her calling him a bastard once, when they had first met, but then, he had really deserved it that time. Maybe he was starting to rub off on her? Back to the matter at hand though.

"The hell you are," he came back, inwardly cringing at his clever retort. "You don't need to go back, it's too dangerous." There, that was a more fitting argument.

"But I can help you." The anger that he had seen only moments ago was now replaced by a new emotion. She almost seemed…desperate. That didn't make much sense.

"Inuyasha, you don't know what this curse was really supposed to do. It's horrible!"

Dear God, were those tears in her eyes?

"You got off light because it was never meant for humans. Kaede says that your human side is probably what kept you from feeling the full effects… but what if she's wrong? What if somewhere down the road the rest of the curse kicks in and you…you…" She trailed off here, her voice having gone suddenly very rough. He watched her take a steadying breath and cut in before she could continue.

"You're taking this too personally, calm down already. I've been under this damn spell for five hundred years already and nothing has changed, you're just jumping to conclusions." He hadn't really wanted that to come out as harsh as it did, but she needed to realize it wasn't necessary for her to risk her neck going back to his era. He still remembered what it was like back then. Especially for someone as innocent as Kagome.

"But it has changed," she said softly, lifting a hand to place it on his chest, as if to emphasize her point.

He grabbed her hand, intending to brush her off, but found himself holding on tightly as he said, "But for the better. Always for the better."

Her cheeks turned a lovely shade of pink at his words and he would have been amused if he hadn't felt is own cheeks blushing in response. He abruptly dropped her hand and took a few steps away, turning to lean against her window.

After a small pause he spoke. "I have more freedom now that I ever had before I met you Kagome. I can speak to a living person. People can see me sometimes. You can see me all the time now. And I no longer feel pain when I'm not near you." Kagome's eyes widened at that and he remembered he hadn't told her that part yet. "You've already helped me more than I know how to repay. So you don't need to go jumping down any more wells on my account."

Kagome shook her head. "But don't you want to be free?"

"Of course I do. Just not if it puts you in danger."

"I won't be in danger; I'll train until I can try again without hurting myself." Why was she being so damn stubborn about this?

"Kagome, you're not going back."

She stuck her chin up in the air defiantly. "I'll go wherever I want."

He could see she wasn't going to budge from her decision, so he decided to take a different route. The dirty little path of guilt. "And what if I go back to sleep and can't wake up next time?" He knew he would never let himself go back to sleep now that he knew he could fight it and win, but he wasn't going to tell her that.

She hesitated, uncertainty clouding her features. Ah-ha! He had her now. Wonderfully predictable Kagome wouldn't want to go back now if she thought she might put him somewhere he hated to be. She bit her lip. Uh oh. She was thinking.

"But if I train hard and succeed in freeing you, you'll never have to go to sleep or be a Guardian again." Freaking logical Kagome. She would have to see that side of it.

"What if you can't do it?" Nothing like putting doubt in your opponent to give you the edge.

"I will. I won't quit until you're free, even if it takes me years." Nothing like rock solid determination to knock the edge right off of your opponent. Dammit, she was not going to win this!

"I'd like to see how you plan on going back with me watching you."

Here she smiled confidently. "I'd like to see you try and stop me."

'Cocky much wench?' So she thought she could get around him? Good luck.

"Alright. We'll see how this goes, but don't say I didn't warn you."

She just shrugged her shoulders and gave a little smile. "I guess we will."

What the heck did she look so smug for?

Kagome did very little studying that night, thanks to all the questions Inuyasha pelted her with. She didn't really mind though. He was right. She knew the stuff backwards and forwards and felt confident she would do, if not excellent, at least pretty darn good on her exam. When all of his questions were finally satisfied, she left him musing on her bed to head downstairs and talk to her mom. As her mother rewrapped her burn, wincing slightly as the cloth tore her seared skin, she gave her mother a brief account of what had happened that day. Her mother listened quietly, nodding on occasion, taking in her daughter's bizarre tale. When she was finally done, she waited for her mother to say something.

"Honestly, I think you must have some kind of magnet in your body to attract all these strange things. I'm not sure how to feel about all of this. Do you really think you can free your friend from his curse? Oh that sounds so odd…" Mrs. Higurshi gave a tiny grin, looking vaguely amused.

"I know I can mom. I have to at least try don't I?" she looked pleadingly into her mother's face, hoping to at least hear something encouraging from her.

"Well, it wouldn't really be right to just leave him there if you could help, I suppose. But keep yourself safe dear. I don't want you to get hurt again."

"Don't worry. I learned my lesson the first time."

"Alright, you better get to bed. You need a good night's sleep for your test tomorrow."

"Okay, good night mom."

"Good night sweetie."

"Inuyasha?" It was nice to be able to talk to him and see him at the same time now. It was dark out, but she could still see his ears twitch at his name.

"Hmm?"

"Why do you think you were able to come back after you fell asleep? I thought you usually snoozed for years before waking up."

"I didn't really go to sleep this time."

"Huh?"

"Well, I did, but I didn't."

Kagome leaned over the edge of her bed to get a better look at the boy sitting on the floor. "Care to make that statement a little less confusing?"

He grinned up at her impishly. "Maybe."

Kagome darted out a hand to grab his ear. Darnit, too slow. Her hand met only with empty air for the umpteenth time. One of these days…

"Never gonna happen wench." His grin was twice as wide now, his fangs poking out and glinting in the moonlight.

She stuck out her tongue at him and crossed her eyes.

He let out a snort of laughter at her ridiculous face. "Okay, if you must know, I was going to sleep, but I refused to let it take me.

"Why this time?"

"Because I knew you were still alive. So I fought until it freed me."

"You fought your way back…for me?" Her voice soft with awe.

Inuyasha felt his cheeks burn and hoped it wasn't obvious in the darkness. "Feh, don't flatter yourself. I just didn't want to end up not being able to talk to people again. It's really annoying having to chat with yourself all the time and having no one to bug." He glanced over to see if she was buying it.

Kagome shook her head slightly and leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"If you say so." Then she planted a light kiss on his cheek before laying back down and snuggling under her covers, turning on her side to face the wall.

"Good night Inuyasha."

Inuyasha blinked several times before slowly bringing his hand up to his cheek. His lips curved into a soft smile.

"Good night Kagome, " he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. She heard him though and a contented smile formed on her own lips as she drifted off into a dreamless slumber.

AN- Oooh look! I see a hint of fluffiness. Could this be the beginning of something? I do believe it could be…

My thanks to angel-tears-16, katie12321, JediK1, and Raven the Shikon-Hawk for reviewing my other story. It's not my best work, but it's wanted to get out of my head forever and we all know it's never good to ignore our muse. Finally the bouncing had stopped.

Q and A

Q. King of Chaos- If Kagome didn't release Inuyasha from the tree then wouldn't he still be stuck there in her time? But he isn't, so doesn't that mean Kagome is 'destined' to release him?

A. He isn't so much stuck in Kagome's time, as he just wants to be there with her. Kagome is destined to release him, it wouldn't be a very happy story if I ended it with 'And she tried several times to release him, but couldn't, so just gave up and went home.' I would be hunted down and dragged by my hair to my computer desk by several angry readers, then forced to rewrite it. It's a painful experience that I am hoping to avoid. I'm not sure if I really answered your question in all that, so feel free to yell at me (or just rephrase it) if you are still confused.

Q. PippetJimmy- What did you mean when you said she gonna keep going back until she gets it right? Do you mean until she releases him from the curse? What gonna happen then? Is he gonna keep living in the feudal era and just forget about Kagome and all the other people he once protected? Or is he gonna stay and live with Kagome in her era? And is Naraku gonna come into the story, revealing a big diabolical plot that us reviewers don't have a clue about yet?

A. Whaaa! My head is spinning… Okay we'll start one at a time here… Yep, she will keep going back and back until she finally frees our dog eared hero, would you expect any less? He will definitely not forget about her or any of the other people he was Guardian to over the years. I haven't put it in the story yet, but one of the reasons for the Guardian curse is to teach compassion. It is not merely a torture devise. I won't reveal too much, since I plan on putting it in one of my chapters, but the curse does not have to be eternal… I truly haven't decided where he will end up living. Unlike the original series character, this Inuyasha is used to the modern world; so technically, he would fit well in both places. As for diabolical plots… We'll just have to see. On a different note, I'm somewhat flattered you find my story more important than the call of nature…just don't wait too long!

Q. angel-tears-16- Do you have to be so evil? Will the rest of the gang be making an appearance and will Kikyo come back as a "clay pot" again?

A. Evil cliffies are a must. Gotta reel them in for the next one somehow. :-) I've actually figured out a way to fit in the rest of the cast earlier than I thought I would, so they might be coming up within the next several chapters. I'm torn on the Kikyo issue, but she will come into play somewhere. I'm just not really sure how yet.

Q. Raku-Onna- How can Kagome continue to go down the well if it causes Inuyasha so many problems?

A. A perfectly reasonable question. One I stumbled over myself for a couple hours at least. LoL I tried to answer some of it in this chapter, but I should be able to clear up all confusion by the next one. I promise no undue harm shall come to him. Notice I said Undue… ;-) Always happy to indulge

Q. Sangome- Will Inuyasha go to sleep again if Kagome crossed the well?

A. The next time she crosses the well, things will be less complicated, I promise. Can't reveal too much, but rest assured that things won't be too hard for Inuyasha.

Q. galaxy guardian- If Inuyasha was pinned to the tree when Kagome fell down the well, and back in the present time when she came back, does that mean his "soul" travels through time with her?

A. I have such sharp readers. You hit the nail on the right on the head. He wasn't able to travel with her and he did fall back asleep at first, but because he couldn't really be with her, his spirit went back to his body, which was the closest he could be to her at the time. It won't be this puzzling to follow next time, I promise.

Q. Kyo (imagirl) - Do you live in Japan?

A. Not yet. :-) I live in the (way too) sunny state of Florida, in the U.S. Born and raised and totally ready to leave. LoL

Q. InuyashaObsessed101- If he's free then he doesn't have to stay with Kagome does he?

A. Doesn't have to, but do we honestly think he's going to let her out of his sight? Not gonna happen. :-)

C. biawutnow- To you, who said Kagome was a bit of a goody two shoes. Look! She said a bad word! And that makes number two. LoL

Bye for now!
