Wow! U guys actually LIKE it! Well, just to be nice I'm gonna update early (hopefully I'll finish this chappy now, if my mom doesn't bug me with my homework)

Well, here ya go!

Chapter 2

Just like the beginning, Kagome was tied up by the villagers, all surrounding her and whispering amongst themselves. It was the same. Everything. Lost in thought, Kagome thought back to when Inu-yasha and herself jumped in the well and this whole odd mess began. If this whole thing is real, she thought, then should I say something? Should I try and convince Kaede that I'm from the future? . . . No. She couldn't do that. She's seen many movies where the person would go to the past, change it, then find a whole new present. Most of the time it's a horrid present. Would it be the same if she were to change something now? Well . . . better safe than sorry. She knew what she had to do.

She had to play stupid.

"Hey!" She cried, "You didn't have to tie me up, y'know!"

"She come spyin' I wager!", a man whispers to an older one.

"Then another battle's a'brewin'?", the old man replies.

A woman speaks out softly. "She's one've them "Kitsune" foxes usin' magics to look a girl, I say!"

Kagome sighs, Yep, it's the same alright.

"Make way! Make way!", a voice calls out, "Lady Kaede, the Priestess, is come!"

Kagome looks up to see Old Kaede come through the crowd of villagers, a bow in her hand. "Who are you?" she askes Kagome, "What were you doing in the Forest of Inu-yasha?"

She blinks in confusion. Wait. When I first met Kaede, I got mad at her from something she said. What as it again?

Kaede blinks at Kagome, as if noticing something. "Eh?" She kneels in from of Kagome, taking her chin in her fingers. "Let me see your face."

A moment passes, then, "So, trying to look like a clever one, are you?"

Oh yeah. She thought, a bit annoyed, I remember now.

"You're her image though . . . my elder sister, Kikyo."

Kagome faked a curious look.


Inside Kaede's hut, Kagome was told once again about Kikyo and how she was the protector of the village, and her death. She ate slowly, only half listening to Kaedes story, while the other was hearing for a noise outside for Mistress centipede.

"What is wrong child? Are you not hungry?" Kaede asks.

"O-Oh no! Its not that. Just . . ."she had to think of something quick before her cover was blone, "Uh . . .I guess I'm not in Tokyo anymore?" Saved.

"Tokyo, is it?" She asks, "Is that your village?"

"Y-Yeah . . ." Kagome barely answered her, her thoughts too preoccupied about what will happen next . . . with Inu-yasha.

Kagome was dragged out of her thoughts when a great racket and screaming villagers started. Kaede and herself jump up and ran outside. "What could be?"Before Kaede could finish, a dead horse suddenly landed from the air, startling Kagome for the second time. Kagome looks up to see the village trampled, and Mistress Centipede hovering over the destruction. The demon catches Kagome's eye.

"There you are!" She cries, now heading for her, ""Give me the Shikon no Tama!"

"The Shikon jewel!" Kaede turns to Kagome in shock. "You have the jewel in your possession!"

"I . . . I'm not sure!" Kagome lies. Ok, now, all I have to do is lure Mistress Centipede out of the village and into the forest . . .and . . . to Inu-yasha. She was afraid of seeing him. Because she has returned to the beginning with all of her memories, she will know what will happen next, and one mistake could change everything. What if she died in the hand of Inu-yasha? He was more violent in their first meeting. Will he be the same still? Will he forget about Kagome? Inu-yasha . . .

"Nor spears nor arrows stop it, Lady Kaede!" a villager cries as he runs to her side, "What are we to do!"

"If we can lure it to the dry old well . ."

Kagome speaks up. "Dry old well?"

"In Inu-yasha's Forest."

"Where's the forest?" Kagome looked at the forest ahead, already knowing where it was. There she saw the light, where the God Tree was.

"West. Toward. . ."

"Toward the light, right? O-Okay!" That's right, she thought as she ran from Mistress Centipede, The light is the evil aura coming from Inu-yasha. It must be the evil that grew when Inu-yasha and Kikyo betrayed each other, thanks to Naraku . . .

"You will not slip by me, child!"

Kagome reached the forest entrance and took the all-to familiar path towards the tree.


BA-BUMP

A strange thumping sound comes from the demon sealed to the God Tree. Its ears twitched, then its eyes opened with a glare. It flexed its claws.

"The smell . . .the smell of her who killed me . . . is coming closer!"


Inu-yasha . . .
