Disclaimer: You guys know the drill, I don't own InuYasha and I prolly never will...

Smells of garlic, potatoes, carrots, some broth, and other nameless herbs awakened Yumi from her deep sleep. What happened? Where was she? Yumi surveyed her surroundings with a critical eye. She was tied to a post, on the forest floor outside a small evil looking hut. There was a caldron bubbling ferociously over a fire. That was where the cooking smells came from. Yumi struggled with her bonds, but to no avail. She was tied firmly with a vicious looking knot. Her hands were tied together and her feet were bound as well. Some one had removed her original clothing. Now she wore a white dress. The dress was plain, with a simple tie around the waist. It went down to her feet, with full sleeves. Oh my god Someone had to undress her Then that means they saw her in her underwear "Ohkougaohkougaohkougaohkouga..." Yumi repeated her mantra, to convince herself everything was not as hopeless as it seemed. A noise brought her attention to in front of her. A little old lady stood there looking down on Yumi. "Please help me I can't get free Quick before whatever did this to me comes back Please " All the old lady did was smile a toothless grin and cackle at her.
"I'm sorry dearie, but I'm afraid I was the one who did this to you." The old woman's smile never left her face but there was a cold, foreboding, calculating look in her eyes. It was like she knew what was going to happen to Yumi but didn't want to say anything.
"Why? Why would you do this to me? I never did anything to you Let me go " Yumi was going into hysterics. I mean this is the second time she was kidnaped and it didn't settle too well with her.
"You see dear, I can't let you go. I have to eat you. I can't always get fresh young girls meat, so when one wanders into my trap, I can't just let you go. You look tasty enough dear, don't worry." The old woman with her infernal smile.
"Wha-what ? Your's going to eat me? Why do you need young girls meat? Why can't you eat boys?"
"Oh I do not eat boys. I hate men, males, boys, testosterone induced, and hormonal unbalanced humans. Do you get what I mean dear? I simply would choke on my own vile and die. But then I wouldn't get to taste your lovely flesh, now would I? Now I'm making a lovely stew, so don't be cross or it shall taste sour." Yumi began to grow angry. She shook with pent-up rage.
"I hope I give you food poisoning I hope you mix the wrong spice and cause yourself to cough up all of your organs I hope you eat to fast and give your self heartburn Then I hope you'll burn yourself because I'll be too hot, then the herbs you put in will fester and burn your mouth, which will turn to ashes causing you to lose the use of your mouth. Without your mouth then you'll die a slow painful death, where you'll have horrible nightmares where I kill you and keep your head as a trophy." Yumi panted after her little spiel. She was certainly all riled up now. She wanted to fight She wanted to kill this ugly old hag, this evil witch
Yumi's mind once again ran off with crazy torturous ideas of pain and misery.As you can see, this has happened before. Once with the girl who had dissed Koga at school, and now. Yumi expected the old lady to be shocked, and scared. Hah As if The old hag simply cackled her dry old feeble laugh.
"Oh I haven't seen a lively one as you, in over 200 hundred years My, my if I didn't have to eat you to keep up my strength, I would keep you as a pet That would be so delightful dear But as it is I must eat you. I have not had meat in a month. Now be a good little girl and hop into this pot." The old woman gestured to the pot with that unholy smile of hers.
Yumi was really steamed by now. But being mad wouldn't help her now. She decided to go with it, until the opportune moment presented itself. The old woman went behind Yumi and untied so she could get up and get in the caldron. Her hands were still tied but her feet weren't. The old hag repeated her request for Yumi to get in the pot. This time Yumi smiled sweetly and began towards the pot. The woman turned her back on her and began to stir her mixture, at this moment Yumi shoved as hard as she could, sending the old lady into the bubbling stew. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH IT BURNS " Something happened that Yumi did not expect. The whole concoction, including the old witch, exploded sending the young girl flying backwards to hit a tree. The area around the hut and the explosion began to shimmer, then fade as if it was a mirage. Slowly the surroundings disappeared, revealing the familiar part of the forest of which Yumi traveled.
The whole thing had been an illusion. That sly old witch had tricked Yumi into believing she was far from her room. In reality she was not too far from her room.
"That was so weird..." Yumi muttered to herself. She picked herself up, dusted her white gown off then began, once again, towards her room. This time she made it there without any interruptions. But she was still confused as to why she was wearing the gown...

InuYasha sniffed the ground. There was something odd about the scent there. That same smell that was from Kagome's world was there yet it was faint, as if whatever or whoever had been there days ago. It was so faint that it could just have been a small object, maybe not something alive. InuYasha followed the scent, with the whole gang behind him. Miroku was explaining, in between the blows he was getting from Sango, how he could not bear his own children, for he was male, how a female must do that. Shippo looked lost and confused as Miroku tried to explain. Sango however did not like how this conversation was going.
"You see Shippo, the whole concept of bearing children is so that my heritage doesn't die out. That is where a lovely young lady comes in, Sango-"
WHAP
"Ouch it was a compliment "
"I'm sure it was monk "
" But I'm still confused. How come you just don't have your own children? Are you that lazy? I'm sure if you tried hard enough you could do it yourself."
Sango burst into laughter at Shippo's comment.
"We already went over this Shippo. That is not possible...unless...NO It's not possible It can never happen NEVER That is a woman's job. I only need to provide the-"
SMACK
"Miroku you better not say what I think you're about to say "
The whole conversation goes on, while Kagome trudged along pondering this new scent that InuYasha had picked up. Could it really be someone from her world? How did they get in? There is no other way besides the well. Only she and InuYasha could go through the well. So what is this person? Kagome vowed to ask Kaede next time she saw her if there was any other way that someone could get through. I mean, she had gone through with the power of the Sacred jewel inside her. Maybe there was another kind of jewel? Nah. It couldn't be...could it? This was definitely something she had to ask Kaede.

Ayame paced around her cave. This mysterious object smelled like InuYasha's girl, Kagome. Ayame decided to check it out with them to see if the knew what it was. In a small current of wind, and leaves flying all over the place Ayame was off in the direction of InuYasha, and Kagome. Tucked in her arms was the battered little alarm clock.
