Ok, so here is the next chapter. It gets a little loopy, but what can I say? It's finals week, I'm tired and sick and I'm a little loopy myself. Prepare for some wicked plot twists. (They're so wicked, I didn't even see them coming myself until I wrote them. shiver Scary.) So, read, review and enjoy!!!

Kagome and Jena chatted lightly all the way to Kaede's hut, which calmed Jena. Her slight moment of panic had subsided as she thought that perhaps this was just a really vivid dream. She might as well enjoy herself while she was here. It would certainly make for a funny story when she woke up the next day. But even after deciding it was just a dream, Jena couldn't help but wonder every time she looked down at her bleeding mess of a left hand.

"Kagome! You're back! Where's Inuyasha and who's your friend?" Sango asked as she stepped out of the hut.

"This is Jena. She's from my time, but we're not exactly sure how she got here," Kagome said as they reached the hut. "This is Sango." Jena smiled.

"Hi," she started to reached out to shake Sango's hand when she remembered it was covered in blood. "Oh, sorry."

"What happened?" Sango asked as she took Jena's bloody hand to examine it.

"I cut it on a tree branch when I first got here."

"It's a nasty cut all right. Come on, we'll get it fixed up for you." Sango turned and started to lead her to the hut when a monk quickly stepped through the door. Jena's eyes widened with recognition as she stepped back a little. Miroku's eyes locked on Jena and her bleeding hand.

"What's this? A damsel in distress?" he quickly made his way to Jena's side, pushing Kagome out of the way. "Oh, it appears that your hand is injured. Here, let me nurse you back to health." He began dragging Jena into the hut. Jena looked back at Sango and Kagome, fear written on her face. Sango rolled her eyes and angrily placed her hands on her hips while Kagome began to follow after the two, hoping to save Jena from the wandering hands of the monk.

"Really, it's okay. I just need a band-aid," Jena yelled as they disappeared into Kaede's hut.

"Nonsense, you're losing a lot of blood. Now lie down."

"Kagome!" Jena yelled. It was at that time that an irate Inuyasha rounded the bend.

"What's going on?" he asked as he brushed more dirt off himself.

"Miroku's found another victim," Sango said. "Kagome just went in to rescue her. Poor girl."

"Poor girl! She deserves whatever she gets!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I heard that!" someone yelled from within the hut. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he looked towards the door. "Inuyasha! Sit boy!" Inuyasha instantly hit the ground.

"Wow, you must have really made her mad," Sango said as she glanced down at the prostrate Inuyasha.

"It's not my fault," he mumbled from the ground. He looked up at the hut, dirt smearing his face. "I told Kagome we couldn't trust this 'Jena' person, but she wouldn't listen." Sango looked towards the hut again, the silence beginning to make her worry.

"I don't know. I thought she seemed kind of nice," Sango said absent mindedly. Suddenly there was a crash.

"Pervert! Keep your hands off of me!" they heard Jena yell. Miroku came running out of the hut, nursing a goose egg that was rapidly appearing on his forehead. Sango tried to hide her smile.

"Yup, I definitely like this girl," she said softly.

"What happened?" Inuyasha asked from the ground.

"Well, I was trying to help her-,"

"Or feel her up was more like it," Sango interjected. Miroku glanced over at her calmly before continuing his tale.

"I was trying to help her," he repeated. "When I walked across the room and she hit me with a pitcher with remarkable precision."

"You deserved it too!" Jena said as she stepped out of the hut, her left hand in a bandage. Kagome wasn't too far behind.

"Sorry about that. Miroku likes to be a little too friendly with women," Kagome said as she came up to Jena. Jena glared at the lecherous monk, a cup positioned in her good hand ready to throw. Sango smiled. She definitely liked this girl.

"I was just trying to help," Miroku whined.

"Yeah, help yourself to my butt!"

"Let me take that cup from you before you hurt someone else," Kagome said brightly as she tried to take the cup from Jena's hand.

"I think you have some anger issues," Inuyasha said as he propped his head on his hand. Jena turned her death glare to Inuyasha.

"You want a piece of this, dog-boy?" Jena yelled. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he quickly shut up. Jena turned back to Miroku. "So much as touch me again and I'll do more than chunk dinnerware at you!"

"So I guess bearing my children is out of the question?" Miroku said wish a nervous smile. Jena growled and pulled her hand back a little more. "Kidding! I was just kidding!" he said with a laugh. Kagome finally wrestled the cup from Jena's hand. Jena took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Everyone just kind of stood there looking at each other for a moment. Everyone except Inuyasha, who was still lying on the ground with his head propped on his hand.

"So, I guess we should try to figure out how to get you home," Kagome finally said. Jena nodded.

"How did you get here in the first place?" Inuyasha asked. Jena shrugged and looked down at him.

"Well, all I know is when I went to sleep I was in my bed at school and when I woke up I was in a field. I figure this must just be some sort of weird dream," she said. While she wasn't paying attention, Miroku edged up beside her and pinched her butt. Jena jumped and punched him.

"Ow! I thought I told you not to touch me!" she shouted. Miroku stepped back, his eye starting to blacken.

"You reacted to pain, so I can deduct that this is not a dream," he said calmly. Jena glared at him, her fingers twitching because she had nothing to throw.

"Why thank you for that stunning revelation," she said sarcastically.

"Not at all, just a part of my duty to help all womankind." Everyone had to roll their eyes to that one.

"Maybe if we go back to where you woke up we could find some clues as to how to get you back," Kagome suggested. Jena shrugged. It sounded like a good plan. Inuyasha stood up and dusted dirt off himself and turned to lead the group. It was then that they heard piercing shrieks that seemed to be moving towards them at a fast rate.

"Help me! Someone help me! The big mean scary wolf wants to eat me!" someone shrieked. As the small ball of fur zoomed closer to the group, it was clear that it was little Shippo. Inuyasha growled and rolled his eyes.

"Sometimes Kouga can go too far," he grumbled as he pulled out the Tetsuiga, ready to battle the wolf demon. Shippo quickly ran and jumped into Kagome's arms.

"Save me!" he shouted, before noticing Jena. "Who are you?" Before Jena could answer a large, brown wolf bounded out of the forest. Inuyasha stared at it a moment before putting up his sword. "What are you doing? That wolf wants to eat me!" Shippo shouted.

"What are you trying to do?" Inuyasha shouted at the wolf. "You know you can't eat Shippo, Hige!" The wolf started walking towards the group and then in the blink of an eye transformed into a tall boy with unruly brown hair and large gold eyes.

"Sorry, Inuyasha, I was so hungry I didn't realize it was Shippo when I started chasing him. Sorry, squirt," he said with a sheepish grin. Jena's mouth dropped open. This dream was getting weirder and weirder.

"Hi, Hige, what are you doing here? Did you get separated from Kiba and the others again?" Kagome asked cheerfully. Jena looked back and forth between Kagome and Hige. Was she the only one who found all of this a little odd. The boy shrugged and scratched his head.

"There was a weird smell and I decided to follow it. In fact," he held his nose up and sniffed the air. "It's really strong now." Hige sniffed the air until he came to Jena. "I don't think I know you. New here?" he asked. Jena nodded, slightly speechless.

"Aren't you in the wrong anime?" she asked. Hige laughed.

"You're a weird one. You smell weird too. Like some kind of weird flower. Are you a lunar flower?." Jena rolled her eyes.

"It's called sweet pea," she grumbled.

"Hi Sweet Pea. Nice to meet you. Where did you come from?" Kagome laughed quietly as Jena shook her head.

"No, I'm not a lunar flower and my name's not sweet pea. That's the scent I'm wearing. My name is Jena and I'm from Arkansas." Hige looked at her slightly confused.

"Arkansas? Is that some kind of planet?" Kagome laughed again, apparently the only other person besides Jena who knew about Arkansas.

"No, it's a state in the US." Hige walked in a circle around Jena and sniffed her again.

"That's a very nice scent," he said. Jena rolled her eyes. This was getting annoying.

"Let me guess, you need to go take a leak now don't you?" she asked. Hige stopped and stared at her.

"How did you know? Are you psychic?" Jena rolled her eyes and shook her head. It was then that the brilliant idea hit her. She smiled devilishly as she looked at Hige.

"Yes," she said. "I'm psychic and I know everything about you," she said ominously.

"See! I told you we couldn't trust her!" Inuyasha yelled. Jena glared at Inuyasha.

"Shut up before I make Kagome sit you!" Inuyasha continued to glare at her, but shut up.

"Wow, Jena, why didn't you tell us?" Kagome asked as she ran to Jena's side. "That's so cool! Can you predict the future?"

"We're getting sidetracked," Inuyasha grumbled. "I thought we were trying to get her home."

"Can you tell me my future?" Sango asked as she ran to Jena, glancing furiously at Miroku.

"Sure I can!" Jena said brightly. "But I can't do it in the middle of this path. We need go someplace where I can set the mood."

"Come on, we can go back to Kaede's hut!" Kagome shouted as she grabbed Jena's good hand and began pulling her back down the path.

"Yeah, then you can tell our futures!" Sango shouted as she ran with them.

"Hey! Put me down! Help!" Shippo shouted from Kagome's arms. Miroku, Inuyasha, and Hige just stood and stared after the girls.

"Well, this just got interesting," Hige said as he scratched his head. "Think we should follow them?"

"Perhaps it would be wise, but we should do it secretly," Miroku said calmly as he started walking after the girls.

"Ah, shut up. You just want to hear if she says anything about you and Sango," Inuyasha said as he walked after Miroku.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Hige yelled. This was definitely turning out to be an interesting dream.
