A/N: So, I don't know if any of you actually remember this story or not. After much debating and convincing though, I decided I'd take down the old one and revamp it because my writing style has changed a lot since I started this. So here is the new, revamped version of the story! Please Review if you're reading it, because if people aren't reading it, I'm just going to pull it off all together. -nod-

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, or any of the characters. I do however own Katie...

Everyone dreams of some kind of adventure. I know that I have, ever since I can remember. Sometimes though, we're not ready for what happens to come. This is what happened to me, but I learned that sometimes you just have to make the best of whatever happens. Everyone thinks they want they want to go through an experience like this, but when facing it, they may find that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

I remember it clearly. It was a beautiful summer day. The sun hadn't yet gotten too hot, and everything seemed to be going pretty well. I was lying in bed, sound asleep. That wasn't going to last long for me, it never did. I could hear a quiet whining, and opened my eyes with a bit of a groan. "Mocha, shhh." It was my seven year old Shih Tzu, who always woke me up at untimely hours because he felt the need to pee. He wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted, so I pulled myself out of bed in a rather sluggish motion, and pushed open the door for him.

Once the door was open, I was greeted by my younger dog, a two year old malamute cross. He got to stay outside at night, to keep the deer and bear away from my house. Those were probably the least of my worries right now.

After both of them came in, they settled on the floor in my room. Quickly, I showered, and then got dressed. I could hear them both barking again, and rolled my eyes. "Come on you guys..." I came out of the bathroom, wet hair dripping everywhere. They seemed to be rather fixated on the door, and Duke, the bigger one was snarling at it.

Any smart girl would probably get worried, and distance themselves as much as possible from the door, but I didn't seem to have that much sense. After a deep breath, and some mental preparation I pushed the door open.

Needless to say, the sight that greeted me was absolutely shocking. Nobody expects these things to actually happen to them and I just stood there, staring at the males now in my yard.

Most girls my age most likely would have gone ahead and glomped them, but I, unlike earlier was a bit more sensible than that. Doing such a thing would probably result in quick decapitation, or slow, painful torture. Neither of which were things I was particularly eager to endure.

I knew who they were, but I didn't know why they had come here. Can't say I wanted guests, I was quite enjoying the house to myself while my parents were gone.

The man with silvery dog ears was the first to speak. "You, girl, where are we?!" He never did seem to have to have trouble finding his voice no matter what the situation, though finding manners was a different matter for him entirely.

Right now I was fully aware I was standing there gaping like a fish cast from a pond, but his voice seemed to draw me from that state somewhat. Now I needed to find my voice, which was taking me a bit more effort than usual. It came though, and with boldness at that. "First of all, my name is Aranthi, not girl." I paused, taking a breath. I should maybe shut up and let the stubborn hanyou address me anyway he deemed fit, but I had dignity to defend too, right? "And, you're in Canada, home of ridiculously small towns, which have nothing in them." Well... at least he hadn't ended up in Alberta!

My dogs however didn't have the sense that I did to stay away from the two new arrivals. Mocha was sniffing at InuYasha's feet, and Duke was trying to jump on Sesshoumaru. It didn't take long for the sound of two whimpers to ring through the air, and the dogs to go running. With a sigh I rolled my eyes, folding my arms and narrowing my eyes at InuYasha, and Sesshoumaru. "Rule one; you have to be nice to them."

InuYasha looked rather pissed off at that, and let out a very dog-like growl. "Don't tell me what to do you little runt!"

I had never been a very big girl, but I never liked it being pointed out and he got an incredibly dirty look. "Just shut up and go inside." In response I got incredibly dirty looks, but both did what they were told, and I closed the door.

"You guys can sit on the floor." I didn't have any chairs in my room. I got an unsatisfied look from Sesshoumaru and sighed. "Or on the bed..." I grumbled under my breath. Mom would kill me right now; I wasn't supposed to have males of any kind in my room. Oh well...

Sesshoumaru sat on the bed, picking up a stuffed Pikachu in a scrutinizing way, then tossing it to the side. InuYasha was wandering around the room, sniffing at various things. "Are you a witch?" He finally asked, looking to me.

Great, first I was girl, then runt, now witch. "No, why?" I questioned, not really caring.

The male pointed to a small wire cage, watching it curiously. "You have caged rodents."

"Oh, they're pets, Haro and Neo." I replied after a moment of hesitation. "Here..." I walked over to the cage, and opened the door, pulling one of them out. "This is Neo; would you like to hold him?"

InuYasha just stared at me for a moment. "What kind of name is Neo?" He questioned, reaching out a finger a bit hesitantly to see the mouse.

"He's named after Neo Roanoke from Gundam SEED, he's big, blonde, and tries to screw anything that comes near him." It was, unfortunately rather true. I smiled a little bit when he put out his hand and put the little mouse in the palm of it. Neo just sort of sat there, staring up at the hanyou. "Watch he doesn't go up your shirt... or you'll never get it out."

InuYasha didn't get the Neo joke, and didn't seem to know I wasn't serious about him never coming out of his clothing, and threw him back at me rather worriedly. "I didn't mean- Oh never mind." Shaking my head I put the mouse back in the cage. Now the dogs were barking again, though! That was no good. Oh, I could hear someone. "Both of you stay here, don't leave my room for any reason!"

Could I trust them? No, probably not. I should have locked the door so they couldn't move, but I wasn't thinking about that right now. Who the heck was at the door?!

I took in a deep breath when I got to the door and pulled it open. Needless to say, I was shocked when I saw who was there. Oh no, not her.
