I hit the ground with a thud, completely missing the fact that I was falling to begin with. Immediately my hands found my head and I held it tight, closing my eyes.

"Did you see that? She just fell from the sky!"

"Who is she? You need permission to enter another village…"

I glanced up to find two people staring down at me. The boy had spiked up blonde hair and the girl had short pink hair. "Where am I…?" I asked, falling forward with the last word and clutching my head tighter.

"What's wrong?" The blonde boy asked, leaning towards me.

"It… hurts!" I managed to answer as I sat on my knees, eyes tight and forehead touching the ground.

"Sorry I'm late. Today I got lost…" I heard a new voice arrive and grow, as it grew closer. "What are you doing?" He asked as he kneeled beside me.

I slightly raised my head just enough to look at him. He looked sternly down at me, a mask covering all of his face but one eye. His hair was grey. I saw a hand reach towards me and then my vision went blurry and I blacked out, falling to the ground.

When I next awoke that same face was smiling down at me. I held my head and smiled softly back, realizing I was inside and on a bed. "Uh, thanks." I muttered.

"Don't worry about it." He replied. "I am Kakashi. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Kira…" I replied, sitting up slowly.

Suddenly the same blonde haired boy jumped in my face. "What are you?" He yelled. I laughed uncomfortably as Kakashi shoved him away.

"Please forgive my students." He said. "Though I was wondering the same thing myself."

"Well I guess that's to be expected…" I replied.

"They say you fell from the sky. How is that so?" Kakashi added.

"Heh, you didn't give me a chance to answer the first!" I laughed. "To answer it, I'm a wolf demon though I'm not full."

"Not full?" I looked up to find the owner of the question. A black haired boy was standing back in the shadows, glaring at me unblinking.

"Yeah, my father wasfully dogdemon, but my mother was a half wolfdemon so that means I have some human, wolfand dogin me as well." I replied, staring back.

"Why should we trust a demon?" He asked. I saw the blonde boy tense slightly.

"Well I haven't tried anything yet have I?"

"That's because you had passed out." He shot back.

"Then I don't think that'd make me seem very threatening would it?" I replied.

"Now that's enough." Kakashi interrupted. "What about my second question?"

"I was transported here." I said simply.

The pink haired girl blinked. "Transported?" She echoed.

I nodded. "I was sent from my world. To bring me back I am sent to a different world each time until I end up back home again. A game of chance."

Kakashi nodded, seeming to accept my story."Well this is Naruto." He pointed to the blonde boy. "She is Sakura." He indicated the girl. "And he is Sasuke." He finished, nodding towards the black haired boy.

They all greeted me and I smiled in return, except Sasuke who just glared untrustingly. "Why were you sent away?" Sasuke asked. "It must have been for something really bad."

I shook my head. "No. It was someone whose goal in life is to see my brother suffer. He thought it would really crush him if I were taken. You see we were separated for over five hundred years and he took me againafter being reunited for only a short time."

The silence that followed was horrible as I sat there staring at the groundand they took in what I had said. A few minutes passed before I finally spoke again. "I've caused enough trouble for you. Thanks and I'm sorry. I'll leave now…" I said as I slid from the bed and headed towards the door. I turned in surprise as Sasuke caught my wrist.

He pulled me back and stared at me, emotionless. "Want to fight?"

I blinked a few times. "What?"

"I said do you want to fight? I can tell you're strong." Sasuke repeated.

I glanced over towards Kakashi who nodded encouragingly and turned back towards Sasuke. "I guess so…"

"Good." He pulled me through the door and down a path outside.

"What does he think he's doing?" Naruto screamed as he took off after us.

Who does she think she is? Holding his hand… Sakura glared as she started to follow too. Kakashi smiled to himself and went after us as well.

When they all arrived, Sasuke and me were standing facing each other. He was glaring daggers while I glanced around uncertainly. Suddenly Sasuke ran at me and my hand shot up, catching his before it hit. He blinked at me and sprang away while I stayed where I was. He approached me again and I knocked his kick away. "Why aren't you trying?" He muttered as he backed away again.

"You seriously want me to try?" I asked. He nodded and I grinned. "Ok… get ready!" I leapt at him and he fell back as I appeared in his face. I swung my hand at him and stopped with my claws just touching his cheek. I smiled as his eyes widened in shock. "You really don't want me to try…"

Sasuke recovered and jumped away quickly, once again glaring at me. Naruto and Sakura were staring in shock while Kakashi just watched. "So…" I started, sticking my tongue out with a grin. "Are we done?"

"Let me try!" Naruto called.

"Ha! You wouldn't last a second!" Sakura yelled at him.

I laughed and then turned towards Sasuke nervously. "Um…"

"Humph." He muttered. "It's ok." He walked over to the others and I slowly followed.

"That was awesome!" Naruto yelled. "I'm going to become as strong as you!"

I laughed. "I'm not that tough. At least not compared to my friends."

"Really?" Kakashi asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, they're the ones training me." I explained. Suddenly I fell to the ground, once again clutching my head.

"Are you ok?" Naruto asked.

"It's alright. Quiet for a second." I muttered, closing my eyes. Kira? Akumei's voice sounded clear throughout my head.

Akumei? You found me quickly this time!

Yeah. Your brother wants to talk to you and then I have something important to say.

All right. I replied.

Kira? I heard Inuyasha's voice this time.

Hi!

Are you ok? He said your head was hurting last time?

Yeah butI thinkthat was only because I used up a whole lot of energy at one time.

What were you doing?

Training. Be sure to tell that to Yusuke and the guys.

Ok. Are you ok now?

Yeah and I'm really missing you guys…

I miss you too. If he doesn't get you back here soon I will kill him.

But then he won't be able to get me back at all!

There was a pause until Inuyasha replied again. Well, whatever. Come back soon.

I'll try Inuyasha.

Talk to you later… His voice faded and Akumei's came back again. Ok, important thing. Want to hear it? He asked.

Of course!

I think I have figured out how to make you revisit only places you've already been. That will greatly narrow down the possible places you can end up, hopefully bringing you back here within a couple more tries.

That's awesome! I miss all of you so much! I can't wait to get back!

I heard Akumei laugh. I thought you'd like that. Now, get ready though it will take a little longer than normal to send you this time.

It's ok, as long as it works.

Right, get ready and don't move from that spot.

Got it. I looked up at the people surrounding me. "I need to take your picture before I leave.

"What are you talking about? What just happened?" Naruto asked, bewildered.

"That was the one who sends me between worlds. He's going to transfer me again but I can't move from this spot. He's learned to narrow down the places I can end up so I might make it home this time!" I squealed happily.

"Well congratulations." Sasuke muttered.

"Aw, don't be mad." I whined. "Besides, I need to take a picture of all of you guys."

"What for?" Sakura asked.

"I'm keeping track of all the places I go by taking pictures of everyone I meet." I explained. "Please?"

"Of course!" Kakashi replied, backing slightly away and calling his students to him. They grouped together and I quickly snapped two pictures.

"Thanks so much!" I cried. "You guys rock." I jumped as my hands started to flicker. I expected to wait longer than this… I thought. "Well, it's time for me to go!" I smiled. "Thanks for everything and I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused."

"Not at all." Kakashi replied.

I smiled again. "Bye…" Suddenly I fell forward, once more clutching my head. "Ow…" I groaned. I heard them coming towards me but yelled out. "No! I don't want you to be transported with me!" I heard their footsteps stop and smiled slightly, looking up. "I'll be fine…" As soon as I spoke these words a sharp pain surged across the back of my head and I passed out just as I disappeared, leaving them staring at the soft idents I had left in the dirt.


Akumei fell back against a tree, smiling triumphantly. "What's your problem?" Inuyasha asked, glaring at him.

"I've figured out how to make sure she only goes to worlds that she's been to already." Akumei replied, still beaming.

"So?" Inuyasha asked.

Akumei stared at him. "Don't you see? Now instead of just going to any random world she has to go to one she's already visited. That cuts down the possibilities greatly!"

"Oh, ok…" Inuyasha said. "So she should be back within a few days?"

"Maybe less." Akumei said, settling back again and closing his eyes. "I'll try harder than ever now…"
