Note: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters but Sakura is mine! Also, I do realize that things like Halloween and Christmas are not really celebrated in Japan but its all for the sake of humor . Please review!
"Uh, Kagome?"
"Yeah Sakura?"
"I have a bad feeling…"
"Yeah, me too. I think we're back in our time. But this isn't my well. Is it yours?"
"… Shit."
Sakura stood up and let out a sigh. It was very dark but they could see the light at the top of the well. Sakura reached over to Kagome and helped her stand up but in turn, made herself stumble backward.
"Ow! That hurt!" said a male voice.
"Don't be so weak, Inuyasha," said another deeper voice.
Sakura jumped back in surprise. "Inuyasha? Sesshoumaru?"
"Don't forget us!" Shippou said, appearing out of nowhere.
"What are we all doing her Kagome?" asked Sango. Sakura turned toward her and saw that Miroku was standing next to her. She sighed and turned to the wall.
"Ok let's just all get out of this well and figure this all out then." She climbed up the side and over the edge. Kagome climbed after her, followed by all the others. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru simply jumped out, and as soon as they did they stopped to sniff the air.
"There's someone else here." Sesshoumaru said, stepping in front of Sakura. The doors of the well house opened and there stood three wolf demons. Behind them stood a very confused, but still smiling Rin.
"Koga!" Kagome shouted. "How did you get here?" He grinned and walked down the steps.
"Well I don't know Kagome. All I know is I'm glad I get to be here with you." Koga grabbed her hands and Kagome blushed.
"Leggo of her!" Inuyasha yelled, forcing himself between the two. As usual the fight started up with Kagome in the middle. Sakura shook her head and turned to Sesshoumaru and the others.
"You guys wait here. I'm going to go check if the coast is clear." Sakura walked up the steps and out the open doors. She walked a little further toward the street and to her surprise she saw that many people were in costume. She gasped and smiled. "I forgot! It's Halloween! Good news guys!" She shouted, running back to the well. "We don't have to worry about anyone noticing you. Everyone's dressed up for Halloween." Kagome sighed with relief. At least she didn't have to worry about hiding all of them just yet. It was hard enough keeping Inuyasha out of sight. But just when Sakura and Kagome thought they were off the hook, a voice from behind them called out to Sakura.
"Sakura! Hey Sakura!" A girl about Sakura's age was running from the house in her direction, followed closely by a red-haired boy their age who appeared to have a shirt wrapped around his head.
"Kira! Zane!" Sakura shouted back. She was so glad it was them and not her mother who walked out. Luckily Sakura had already explained her situation in the feudal era to her two closest friends.
"Sakura!" Kira said again, hugging her and gesturing toward her elaborate Chinese princess costume. Zane was dressed as a ninja, complete with sword and ninja stars; Sakura still wasn't sure about the shirt thing, but he was weird like that. "Well Sakura, aren't you coming to the dance?"
"Dance?"
"The school dance! Duh!"
Sakura sighed with frustration and crossed her arms. "Well Kira, I'm kind of in a tight spot here. Everyone has somehow…"
"AAH! This must be Sesshoumaru! He is cute!" Kira said, a mischievous smile on her face. Sesshoumaru simply looked un-amused as he usually did.
"Uh Kira…"
"Yah Sakura?"
"I don't think I can go. I need to sort these guys out. Not to mention I don't have a costume with me."
"OH MY GOD!" Zane yelled, his eyes getting big and filling with fake tears. "YOU DON'T LOVE US ANYMORE!" This gained him many questionable looks from the others, but this was normal behavior for him; so Sakura and Kira weren't fazed at all; in fact they just ignored him.
"No problem! I brought my Japanese princess costume from last year just in case. It'll fit you just fine." Kira said, grabbing onto her arm and dragging her back to the house. Kagome looked around at the others. Everyone just looked very confused.
"Well, let's just wait for Sakura to get back. We'll talk about everything then." It didn't seem to take too long for Sakura to throw on the costume and get her hair done. She walked back out to the well with Kira, dressed in a blue kimono with floral designs and a fancy golden headdress in her hair.
"Lady Sakura, you look so pretty!" Rin exclaimed. Everyone else just stared.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?" She asked.
"Wow Sakura, you really look like you're from our time." Sango answered smiling. "It's just, strange to see you dressed that way."
"Oh…"
"Aww! Now you and Sesshoumaru really look like a couple!" Zane laughed, earning him a very heated glare from Sakura. "Wait, Sakura, are you blushing!" This only made him laugh harder. That is, until Kira took his sword and hit him on the head with the handle.
"Shut up Zane!"
"Yes ma'am…"
Miroku raised his eyebrows and slowly looked from Zane to Kira and back again. What an odd couple. He thought to himself. Though, the girl is fairly attractive. Unfortunately for him, Sakura knew that look, and roughly pulled him aside.
"Miroku, I swear if you say or do anything to Kira that I don't approve of I WILL CASTRATE YOU!" Needless to say, Kira became one of the few women who Miroku never put his question to.
"Come on everybody! The dance is gonna start soon, and we have to walk, so let's get going!" Zane said cheerfully, seeming to have already forgotten about Kira hitting him. So, everyone started towards the street, and turned in the direction of the school. After a few minutes, Sakura and Sesshoumaru fell behind the rest of the group, and Sesshoumaru looked over at her.
"You really do look lovely." He said warmly, making her blush. He hadn't meant for anyone else to hear it, but they heard Zane snickering, and 'awes' from the other three girls. Miroku just smiled and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. There was an uncomfortable silence until Kira realized where they were.
"We're here guys!" She was pointing to a high school across the street heavily outfitted in Halloween decorations and surrounded by teenagers in all manner of costumes.
"It's good to be back." Sakura said as they walked up the stairs and entered the building and were enveloped by the music.
