Twice Dealt Back To You
Chapter Eight: Safe Haven
"Are you going back through the well today?"
"Yeah, it's the new moon. Why?"
"Can ye take Santan through with thee?"
Kagome nodded. "Why?"
"She is being. . .hunted by a demon. She will be safest in your era."
"Alright, then. Have her meet us by the edge of the village."
Kaede nodded. "What of Sango and Miroku? Are they following ye?"
"I doubt it."
Kaede smiled knowingly.
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Santan stood in front of the well. Santan looked down.
"Come on." Kagome said cheerfully, swinging down into the well.
Inuyasha followed her, and Santan followed him.
(An: Blah, blah, they get to the other side of the well. . .)
Kagome was halfway up the rope ladder she'd added some years earlier, when Santan arrived.
Santan followed in silence as Kagome lead them out of the shrine.
She gasped when she saw the modern day.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked back at her. Then, Kagome grinned.
"Where are we?" Santan asked.
"Japan. Tokyo. About 500 years in your future." Kagome said.
Santan nodded slowly.
"Come on, you can stay in my old room." Kagome said, walking towards the house. "Sota'll be home from school soon, you two're probably around the same age."
"Who's Sota?"
"My little brother." Kagome said. "He's 18. How old are you?"
"Eighteen, according to my lord." she shrugged.
Kagome nodded and slid the glass door open.
"Anyone home!" She yelled, stepping inside.
"Eh, Kagome? That you? Your mother went out for a while!"
"Ok, Grandpa!" Kagome called back. "Going up to my room now! I brought some friends!"
Recieving no reply, she lead them up to her room and sat down on the bed.
Santan began looking through the room.
Shippo watched her amusedly.
"I don't see why we had to bring the girl." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha. . ." Kagome said. "Sit boy."
