Morning came too quickly for Anna. She was laying on her side, letting the smell of dirt and earth fill her nose, and then came the smell of a dead fire from the night before. She felt the ground still warm from the springtime feel. After that came cold. Lots and lots of cold. She opened her eyes, first thinking that she was drunk and fell asleep outside her house again. i Oh shit...Mom's going to kill me... /i But then, the thoughts hit her. Falling from the sky, landing on the ground...It all came back. Then she felt it. The wetness. The feel of falling asleep outside on the hard ground, and then being rained upon. She sat up, seeing the entire area drenched, and no one in sight. She squealed, and stood up, shivering from being cold. i Where the fuck did everyone go! /i She panicked in her mind.

She walked through some trees, completely unaware of the direction she was going in. She saw some mud on the ground, and footprints. i Did they go this way? /i She followed them, and made her was to a dirt - well, now mud - road. She followed the five different pairs and feet and turned right, close to running. i I am so cold...I have to find them. /i

"I can't BELIEVE you just let us leave without Anna!" Kagome screamed from behind Inuyasha.

"Shut up!" He yelled. She jerked on his left ear and he slapped her hand away, and then grabbed it, feeling the pain. "Just sit back and relax. I wasn't about to break her sleep."

Sango faced him. "That may be so, but it's raining out there! She could get ill!"

Shippo sat next to Miroku and rolled his eyes as the two watched the others fight and yell and argue. Shippo picked up a plate off the wooden floor and started to eat. Miroku watched the others. Sango was right in front of him, bending down, facing Inuyasha... i Now is the perfect chance... /i A devilish smile spread across his face, and he extended his arm slowly, and grabbed the softness in front of him.

Sango jerked upright, eyes wide. They filled with fire. She turned around. "Miroku..."

He smiled innocently. "You're going to bear my children after all!"

She pulled her right arm back and swung it forth.

Miroku grabbed his cheek where the bright red handprint was. "I guess not..."

Suddenly, the door burst open. A shivering, drenched girl with long, brown hair in a messy braid walked in. She glared at everyone, and collapsed on the floor. "Damn you all..." She said quietly, but still loud enough for everyone to hear.

Kagome stood up and yelled. "SIT! Inuyasha, I TOLD you she'd be angry!" Kagome ran over to Anna and kneeled down, inspecting her. "She seems healthy. But..." She grabbed little pieces of clothing that were starting to stick to the ground and her skin. "I think she needs some new clothes...they're all ripped and dirty."

Miroku beamed. "Can I help her change?" He asked, already halfway off the ground.

Kagome and Sango turned around. "NO!" They said in unison. He slid back.

Kagome turned back to Anna. "I think I'll go to my time and see what I can find." She stood up, and walked outside. She poked her head back in. "Hey, it's not raining anymore, we can go!"

Anna groaned.

"So, Anna, how exactly do you know who we are?" Sango asked.

Anna hadn't been talking ever since she burst in earlier. "Where I come from...I have this thing called a TV. In it, you see these little moving pictures, and there's sound to it."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, and there's a variety of different things on it, from comedy to action to horror."

"Yeah."

Sango looked amazed. "Wow...I want to see something like that."

"Mm..." Anna said. "Well, you are all on a TV show. All of you are animated, and you know, for living in Japan, it's a little interesting that you're all speaking English."

Kagome stopped. "But, I can't speak English..."

"Well, you are right now. If I had the Japanese version of the show, then you'd be speaking Japanese. But I don't own it, so you're all speaking English from where a bunch of random people voiced over for you."

Sango blinked. "I don't know what the hell you're saying."

Kagome agreed. "Me either." Anna sighed, and they all continued walking.

After a while, Sango spoke. "Why do you think he does that?"

Kagome looked at her with a questioning face. "Who does what?"

Sango blushed. "Miroku. You know, when he touches me." She sighed. "I can't stand it. He needs to stop."

When Kagome didn't respond, Anna did. "He likes you, you know."

"What!"

As the three girls approached the well, Anna finished telling them everything she knows about them. "...and he is in love with ramen." She looked at the well. "Oh..." Anna walked over to it, and looked inside.

Kagome cocked her head to the side. "You know, you can't go in there, so just stay here with Sango. I'll pick you out something nice." She walked right next to it. "See ya later!" She jumped in.

Kristin stared at the TV screen, ready to see what had been going on since she was at school. She sat on the edge of her bed, ready.

"See ya later!" She watched Kagome jump in the well. The scene shifted back to Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo sitting on the floor of a room, eating. Kristin watched, and suddenly felt a little weird. "Hey, Inuyasha..." Shippo asked. "Yeah?" "Why is it getting warm in here?"

Suddenly, the TV screen filled up with a purple light. The three characters were yelling and screaming, wanting to know what was happening. Kristin jumped. i I've seen this before... /i She realized what was going on.

She was going to be sucked into the TV.

As if on cue, and huge purple spiral jumped out of the TV, and before Kristin could even scream, she was engulfed into it. The spiral pulled her into the TV, and the room went back to normal.

On the screen, Kristin fell from the ceiling to the floor, landing in a painful crash. Miroku and Shippo were hiding in the corner, and Miroku was...

"Ahh! Get off of me!"

Kristin got off of Miroku. At that moment, Kristin's mother walked into her bedroom. "Kristin?" She looked around. When she saw no one was there, she turned off the TV and went back to do whatever it was she was doing.
