CHAPTAH 3!

I feel like noone's reading this . . . Oh well!

As the door opened, I stiffened up, trying not to shake. I was terrified. If Lady Kaede got creeped out by my overall look, what would they think? The first one to step through the door was Sango, who was carrying one of her kids in her arms. Next was Miroku, followed by the other two kids of theirs. Next, Kagome came in, looking a little different from my expectations. She didn't look very different, but her belly was big and swollen looking. Then it hit me.

SHE'S PREGNANT! WHY DID KAEDE NOT TELL ME THIS?

I turned over to Lady Kaede to find her smiling. That's when I actually used my brain. She was trying to surprise me. The door shut behind her, and they all greeted Lady Kaede.

"I've not seen ye in months." Lady Kaede mused. Kagome sweat dropped, scratching the top of her head.

"Sorry, we've been traveling a lot. A lot of weird stuff had happened over the past few days." Kagome responded. She glanced at me, as if she had just now noticed me. "Who's this?"

"My name is Hotaru Anzai. Lady Kaede is treating my injuries." I informed her casually. Lady Kaede smiled at me. They all began to sit down, Sango having to help Kagome.

"How did you injure yourself so badly?" Miroku asked me. Good question. Lady Kaede quickly helped me with my alibi.

"She was climbing one of the huge oak trees and fell out when I startled her." Thank you Kaede! That's very realistic for me. Bravo! Sango nodded, smiling. Lady Kaede then asked the main question on my mind. "Why are ye here? Ye does not need a checkup." They immediately all turned serious, as if it were something bad.

"We found a girl, she was soaking wet and she seemed to know who we were. She reminds me of an ancient wolf demon, so we decided to bring her here to see if you could figure it out." Miroku stated. I was beginning to get nervous. Sango was looking at me curiously, as if she recognized me from somewhere. Lady Kaede nodded.

"Bring ye in." She answered. Immediately, I heard yelling coming from outside the door. It flung open showing a pissed off Inuyasha, holding what looked like hair in his hand. He threw the person into the cottage, who cursed as she hit the ground. She began to get up, and I began to recognize her. Copper hair. She looked at Lady Kaede in the face. Gold eyes. Cursing when pissed off. Yep, I knew this person. She was my friend who had sent me the god damn link in the first place. Stella. Of course, she didn't have copper hair and gold eyes in real life. But we always talked about what we'd look like in anime form. And this was her description. She looked at me, and then paused. She seemed to scan me before getting a cheeky grin on her face.

"HOTARU!" She screeched, glomping me. After prying her oddly strong arms off of me, she sat up, trying to act completely composed. Now, we had the attention of all of the people in the room. And Lady Kaede seemed to be thinking really intensely.

"You know this girl, child?" She asked me. I sighed, glaring at Koori who glared back.

"Yes ma'am I do." I answered. Miroku shook his head and Inuyasha snorted.

"That's impossible. This girl claims she's from another world and talks of stuff from Kagome's world. You can't know her." Inuyasha insisted, still looking PO'd. She what? I turned to Stella, who had been shaking her head no and sweat dropping.

"You told them what? Why would you tell them about something like that?" I shouted. She frowned and growled at me.

"You know what I do when I'm in a bad mood! Plus, I don t lie! It s a waste of my time and energy! Besides, Lady Kaede seems to know you really well! And in my defense, I was soaking wet from falling into a lake from lala land!" She yelled back. I huffed before responding.

"Well I was unconscious for who knows how long from hitting the solid ground. And now I look and feel like I've been through a meat grinder! What else can I do? Hobble away for some freaky-ass demon to eat me in a foreign land? I DON'T THINK SO!" I bellowed. Just then she actually looked me over, noticing my bandages before beginning to laugh. "What's so freaking funny?" I asked her, still ticked off.

"You look like a freaking mummy!" She stated before falling backwards and laughing. I looked myself over before huffing and turning back to the baffled crowd. This was going to be a long night.
