RVD: hmm, it makes me wonder what any of the characters look like in reality. although, i planned on having the characters looking like their old 'cartoon' selves as soon as they go to feudal japan. so Rora is now cartoon i guess. but i guess that u can try to imagine the characters in 'real life'. good luck though, it's a little difficult to try that, cause, well, i tried it and it didn't work out that good. lol

Chapter three: The Cartoon IS REAL!?

"R-Rora!?"

Rora looked up at who called out her name and saw Kagome staring at her wide-eyed. She then turned to see who was holding onto her and saw a guy with doggy ears, amber eyes, and sharp claws. Rora gasped when she saw his fangs as he started to talk.

"Kagome! Why would you let a someone follow you down the well!?" InuYasha yelled.

"I didn't know that she followed me! So stop yelling at me!" Kagome yelled back.

"I'M NOT YELLING!!"

As Rora watched her friend Kagome and InuYasha continue yelling, she thought that now was the perfect time to get away from the ill-tempered guy.

"Ano, Kagome?" Rora asked. Kagome and InuYasha stopped yelling at this point.

"What is it, Rora?" Kagome asked, trying to keep her anger under control.

"I only followed you because you dropped your math book." Rora said, handing Kagome the farely large book. This calmed Kagome down a little bit, but InuYasha just got a little irritated with the girl being here. But it was then when he saw something shinning in her mouth.

"Hey, what's in your mouth?" InuYasha asked. Rora paused for a moment, but then got a angry when she thought of the fact that her mother and father made her go to the orthodontist alone.

"Their braces! And the bad part of it is that they still hurt!" Rora hissed. Her braces had totally messed up her talking, so she wasn't going to be able to talk all that much for a while. Rora's fury seemed to scare InuYasha, so he only ran behind Kagome, thinking the Rora can be a little dangerous, judging by her look.

"InuYasha, don't even think about mentioning the word 'b' word around Rora, because she's very angry at her parents." Kagome whispered to InuYasha.

"What did her parents do to her!? I don't want to see that scary face again!"

"They made her go and get her braces all alone for the first time and she didn't know where to go since she just moved to Japan." Kagome said, slightly louder this time. InuYasha shifted his gaze from Kagome to Rora who was turning back to the well mumbling something about 'damn these braces!'.

"Rora-chan, matte!" Kagome called out as she rushed to her friends side. Unfortunately, InuYasha was leaning against Kagome while she told him about Rora's little story, and so he fell to the ground with a loud THUD! head first.

"K-Kagome, why you!" InuYasha said with mouth full of dirt.

Rora stopped as soon as she had heard Kagome call out her name and waited for Kagome to reach her side.

"Rora, if it's okay with you, would you like to stay here for a while? Now that you know about this, there shouldn't be any problem with you staying for a while, right?" Kagome asked.

"Well, just as long as it's okay with you." Rora said as she turned around with Kagome and started to walk away from the well.

"HEY! KAGOME, DON'T LEAVE ME HERE LIKE THIS! GET BACK HERE!" InuYasha said as he struggled to his feet. Kagome just ignored him and continued her way to Keade's village. Rora just studied the area around her as she and Kagome made it to a village that looked just like the one from the Inuyasha show.

'IT'S DIFFIENTLY OFFICAL! I'M IN THE ACTUAL CARTOON!! WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT? But hey, at least this is my all-time favorite show. I would when I'm going meet my favorite character, Sesshoumaru-sama?' As soon as Rora thought of actually meeting Sesshoumaru, she almost fainted.

When Rora saw Kagome led her into certain hut, Rora began to wonder if Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara were inside. Well, she soon found out as soon as Kagome showed her into the hut.

"This is Sango, she's-" Kagome said but was soon cut off when Rora finished the rest of her sentence.

"-a demon slayer, that's Miroku, who's a bit of a pervert, that's Shippo, and he's a fox demon, and that's Kirara who can change into a larger cat to help fight in battle with you guys." Rora said. Everyone just stared at her as soon as she finished and couldn't help but to leave their mouth's hanging open. It was then when Rora instantly knew that she would have done better is she didn't say anything at all and let Kagome do that talking.

'OH GREAT! I REALLY SHOULD LEARN TO KEEP MY BIG MOUTH SHUT! I'm in for a world of trouble now.' Rora thought with grief as she slapped her hands onto her mouth to stop her from talking.

"H-How did you know that?" Kagome asked in nothing but pure shock.

"Uh..., lucky guess?" Rora said softly, and blushed with embarrassment. Kagome and everyone else just continued to stare at her.

"U-Uhh, maybe I should go now." Rora said, as she started to slowly back away from the group of people staring at her.

"Matte, don't go just yet. Could you at least tell me why you already know who we are?" Kagome asked.

"Well, it's hard to explain." Rora said nerviously, "But I don't think that I should freak you all out, so bye!"

Rora ran out of the hut as fast as she could but was pulled back by the wrist by non other than InuYasha.

"What's going on? Why is Rora running away?" InuYasha asked, as she dragged a angry mumbling Rora back into the hut. Since Rora was behind InuYasha, she held up a clenched fist and glared daggers at InuYasha while he wasn't looking. 'If you don't release me, I swear that you will be in for a world of pain, InuYasha'

"Rora knows who we are, even though we didn't tell her anything." Kagome said. InuYasha just looked confused now and then looked at Rora, who quickly stopped her evil glare and dropped her fist while putting on an innocent look.

"Please, can't we just forget about this? You're all putting a lot of pressure on me," Rora said softly and then quickly changed her tone to an angry tone and glared at InuYasha, "and if you don't let me go, I swear that you will not see that light of day ever again!" InuYasha instantly let of Rora and ran behind Kagome again to find from Rora's evil look once more.

"Kagome, can you please tell her not to look at me that way?" InuYasha whispered into Kagome's ear. Kagome just gave InuYasha a bored look, then shifted her gaze back to Rora.

"Okay, we'll talk about this later. Right now we need to focus on other things." Kagome said, trying to calm down that severely angry Rora who was still glaring daggers at InuYasha. InuYasha was shaking in fear at this point. (AN: Rora's face is just so scary, InuYasha just can't take it. lol) Rora calmed down a little bit at this and stopped her death glare..., for now.

"Well, Rora, now that you basicly already know us very well, why don't you join us on our mission." Kagome said.

"You mean your mission to stop Naraku?" Rora said, and then realised that she said too much once again, "CRAP! I NEED TO LEARN TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT!" Rora said as fast as she could. Everyone just continued to stare at her, which was making her blush a lot more than last time.

"Uh, yeah, since you already know about it." Kagome said softly, "I've already got the supplies and so, you can come along. The more we have on our team, the better."

"I guess so, and don't worry, i can easily take care of myself in battle." Rora said, lighting the blush.

"Oh, what do you do?" Kagome said.

"I took lessons in karate." Rora said, putting on a soft but faint smile.

"Keh, that won't help." InuYasha said, walking to the side of Kagome and sticking his nose in the air with his eyes closed.

"Oh yeah...," Rora said before she broke into a run towards an unexpecting InuYasha, "THEN TAKE THIS!!" With that, Rora jumped into the air with her foot in front of her, and hit InuYasha square in the face. InuYasha was now lying on the ground, half concsious and twiching every now and then.

"Ha, don't mess with the me" Rora said with a little giggled afterwards. Shippo stood next to InuYasha and started to laugh when he saw InuYasha's face. Soon after that, everyone else started to laugh, and InuYasha was left clueless. He didn't know that he had a farely large mark on his right cheek until Kagome told him in between breaths.

"You, hahaha, have a, haha, mark on your face! HAHAHAHA" Kagome laughed. InuYasha just looked around the room speechless, and just grunted when everyone was still laughing after the first 20 minutes.

"Okay, okay, that was classic." Rora said as she calmed down the laughter.

"Yeah, well you should do that to InuYasha more often whenever he starts up another attitude." Shippo said, as soon as he caught his breath. Everyone calmed down now but they would chuckle every now and then whenever they looked at InuYasha's face.

"Okay, since you already know us, Rora, why don't we just sit down with the rest of the group and get to know you a little better." Kagome said as she and Rora walked to the center of the room and sat down with the group. It was starting to get dark when Rora told them about herself and how she meet Kagome, and of course about her braces whenever she started to feel a lot of pain on her teeth.

"Wait a minute, what are braces?" Miroku asked.

"Braces are pieces of metal that are put on teeth to help straighten them. Although, they hurt A LOT for the first few days, but after that, the pain should go away." Rora said, lowering her head when the pain in her mouth started to get a little bit worse.

"They hurt a little bit when they're first put on, and then the pain starts to increase as the day goes on." Rora said softly.

"Well, we hope that your mouth starts to feel better soon." Sango said. Miroku, who sat next to Sango, started to get a evil grin but made sure that no one saw this one. (AN: just so you know, for once, Miroku isn't thinking of doing anything perverted just yet.) His grin quickly went away as soon as Rora lifted her head back up.

"Well, it's getting late, so why don't we just go ahead and get some sleep." Kagome said.

"Yeah, I am starting to get a little sleepy, but what are we going to do about school, Kagome?" Rora asked, even though she already knew what the answer is going to be but she didn't want to make everyone freaked out again.

"Don't worry, my grandpa always says that I'm out sick so your parents will do the same thing." Kagome said as she stood up and walked to her bookbag and pulled out two sleeping bags. "Good thing that I brought two sleeping bags. I thought that I might need one this time and apparently, I was right."

Rora smiled at Kagome when she realised that staying in the past is one of the best things that's ever happened to her.

"Arigato, Kagome-chan." Rora said as she walked over to Kagome and took that sleeping bag that Kagome handed to her. As they set up the sleeping bags, everyone else sat either in a corner or against a wall and fall asleep. With all of this going on, Rora felt like the happiest girl in the world, but the only thing that brought her down was the continuing pain in her mouth. Thanks to that, she knew that her braces would slow her down the first few days, but who knows, maybe nothing will happen in the next few days.

Little did Rora know, something big is about to happen the very next day. Tommorrow, she will whitness her first battle between InuYasha and one of his great foes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So what do you think of that? Who the one that InuYasha is going to face the very next day? Is this a bad thing that will happen to the yasha group? Or is it a good thing that will happen to Rora?
