So here's chapter 2. Please let me know what you think. It may determine if the story goes any further...

The sound of birds chirping woke drifted to Jena's ears.

"Shut up birds," she mumbled as she rolled over and snuggled deeper into her pillow. A light breeze rustled through her hair. "That feels nice. Wait-," Jena's eyes flew open, expecting to see the large windows that filled one wall in her dorm room. Instead, she saw trees and grass and a large rock. But they were strange, surreal almost. Jena sat up and looked at the forest scene around her. Groaning, she rolled her eyes.

"Great, I'm dreaming in anime again," she grumbled as she threw the quilt off her and stood up. "Note to self, throw something at Karli when I wake up." A small pond sat nearby. Jena walked over to it and peered into it's reflective surface. What she saw was odd to say the least. Her shoulder length hair was a deep burghandy and her blue eyes were brighter than normal, and big. It was odd seeing herself as a cartoon character. Jena stood and surveyed the rest of her body.

"I could get use to this," she said with a smile as she noticed that she was taller and a lot skinnier than normal. "But I could do without the high waters." She sighed and looked around the clearing. "This looks familiar." Jena began walking around, searching for some form of human life. Voices drifted to her from through the trees.

"Inuyasha!" Jena's eyes widened as she began walking towards the voices. "You went to see Kikyo, didn't you!" Peeking through trees, Jena saw Inuyasha standing with an irate Kagome.

"Okay, this is definitely a weird dream," Jena murmured.

"So! Maybe I did!" Inuyasha yelled back. Jena rolled her eyes. That boy would never learn. She leaned against a tree, which turned out to be a bad idea. As soon as she put her weight on it, the small tree snapped and Jena tumbled to the forest floor, right into the middle of a bunch of thorny looking bushes. Inuyasha swung around, searching for the cause of the noise.

"Who's there! Show yourself!" he shouted, his hand inching towards Tetsuiga.

"I would, but I'm a little stuck at the moment!" Jena shouted. She struggled to get out of the bushes that she was tangled in. Inuyasha and Kagome inched cautiously towards Jena, unsure of what was going on. Inuyasha sniffed the air.

"Well, it's not a demon, but it smells weird, like some kind of weird flower."

"I heard that!" Jena yelled. "It's called sweet pea, and are you going to help me or not!"

"Why should I?" Inuyasha asked cautiously. Jena groaned loudly and wished she had something to throw. "Who are you anyway?"

"If you would help me out of these bushes, I could tell you!" Jena shouted back. She reached for branch to pull herself up, but ended up scratching the palm of her hand. "Ow!" she shouted as she watched an angry red line well up with blood across her palm. "Wait a minute, dreams aren't suppose to hurt," she murmured.

"Oh, Inuyasha!" Kagome finally shouted. Pushing though the trees she found Jena and helped untangled her from the thorns.

"Thanks," Jena said as they walked back into the clearing. She pulled a twig from her hair and brushed off the seat of her pajama pants.

"Oh, no problem. I couldn't possibly leave you sitting in that thorn bush," Kagome said with a genuine smile. "I'm Kagome and this is Inuyasha." Inuyasha stared Jena up and down.

"You're dressed weird, are you from Kagome's time?" Kagome glared at him.

"How could you possibly be rude to our guest. Sit boy!" Inuyasha tumbled head first to the ground. A small dust cloud erupted and covered him. "Sorry about that, Inuyasha doesn't exactly have the best manners," Kagome apologized. Jena smiled, thoroughly enjoying watching Inuyasha grumbled on the ground. Meeting him just enforced her opinion of him.

"That's all right. I'm Jena." Kagome took in Jena's t-shirt and yellow pajama pants with butterflies.

"So, are you from the future? You don't look like you're from around here. And you sound American, but I've never seen hair that color." Jena smiled.

"Yes, I am from your time. I live in Arkansas where I go to college. As for the hair, it's not natural. I sort of had an accident the last time I dyed it."

"You killed your hair?" Inuyasha asked as he stood from the ground, brushing himself off. Jena and Kagome both gave him a weird look.

"No, I colored it. Apparently you can't mix fire engine red and dark brown," she said, suddenly feeling uncomfortable as Inuyasha started to closely examine her hair.

"Must be pretty powerful if you can change your appearance," he said as he pulled at a piece and sniffed it.

"Ow! Do you mind!" Jena yelled as she yanked her hair back and glared at Inuyasha. Inuyash stood and glared back at her.

"Oh! You're bleeding!" Kagome exclaimed as she took Jena's hand. It was at that moment that Jena remembered the throbbing in her hand. She looked down at her palm that was now smeared in blood. The cut was apparently deeper than she first thought.

"I shouldn't feel any pain if this is just a dream," Jena thought.

"Come on. I'll take you back to Kaede's hut where I'll patch you up in no time," Kagome said cheerfully as she started leading Jena down a path.

"Now wait a minute Kagome! We don't know anything about this girl! What if she's with Naraku!" Inuyasha shouted as he ran around in front of the two girls to block their path. Jena rolled her eyes. Sometimes Inuyasha was a bit too annoying.

"Trust me, if I was with Naraku, you would know," she said. Kagome looked over at Jena.

"You know who Naraku is?" she asked. Jena nodded, suddenly unsure of how to explain how she knew who Naraku was.

"Um, yeah, he's a bad guy, right?" she said, trying to play dumb a little too late.

"See, I told you we couldn't trust her," Inuyasha said with a smug smile.

"What's going on?" Jena thought. "Why am I here? How did I get here? Can I get back?" Tears began to fill Jena's eyes. How was she to get back to the real world? Kagome turned from glaring at Inuyasha to look at Jena. Her look of defiance was replaced by a look of helpless terror.

"Inuyasha! Sit boy!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha hit the ground. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked. Jena looked at her.

"I don't know how I got here and I don't know if I can get back," Jena said as her bottom lip began to tremble. A tear slid down her cheek.

"Kagome! Don't listen to her! It's a ploy!" Inuyasha yelled from the ground.

"Sit boy!"

"Oof!" A cloud of dirt rose up from the ground. Kagome pulled Jena into a hug.

"It's okay, don't cry Jena. We'll clean up your hand and then figure out a way to get you home," she said softly.

"Okay," Jena said as she sniffled. Kagome let her go and smiled.

"Come on, the village is this way." The two began walking off, being not too careful about stepping on the prostrate Inuyasha.

"Where do you think you're going?" he shouted as he pulled himself up off the ground.

"Sit boy!" Kagome shouted over her shoulder. She smiled at Jena. "Sometimes I think that boy will never learn." The two girls giggled as they heard Inuyasha grumbling from behind them.

"Kagome! What was that for?!"

"Learn to be nice and I wouldn't have to do that!" Kagome yelled back. Jena could tell that this was definitely going to be an interesting trip.
