Kagome rolled over and hugged her teddy bear Gee-Gee to her chest. Wait—Gee-Gee? Where was she? Black strands of hair stuck to her neck and she sat up, feeling dizzy. Her bedroom. What was she doing in her bedroom? Her mind flashed back to "The Wizard of Oz" and she felt like crying. What if it all had been a dream? What if InuYasha was nothing but a meer thought in her mind? What if she had never really met Shippo or Sango or Miroku or Naraku or Lady Kadea?

And then her suspicions were denied as she looked around. Sango was curled up with Kirara on a bed of blankets in a pair of Kagome's fleece pajamas. Miroku was asleep at her desk, head resting on the keyboard. And then, her eyes floated over to InuYasha who was asleep with his hand resting on his teseiga.

So it wasn't a dream. But what was she doing home then? Uh. She felt like she was going to pass out. She leaned back against her bed, black locks flaring out behind her head. She sighed gently, her chest rising and falling softly. It was all a blur, really. She remembered yelling at InuYasha, and then feeling very ill, and then falling off her bike.

Kagome rolled over on her side. So, if she was sick, then maybe she had passed out. And then, that meant that, they had all came with her? Oh, shit. That also meant that they were in the future. In her life. Well, they were in her life in the first place, but up until know, with the exception of the fact that InuYasha sometimes came looking for Kagome when she was out longer than her wanted, Kagome had kept her life in the past and her life in the present two separate affairs. And now they were one. There was no way that Kagome could be home and not have questions about who these strange people were.

Kagome looked down. She was still in her outfit from the previous day. She lifted the comforter with her index finger and her thumb and sat up. She must've made some noise because InuYasha, Miroku and Sango all woke up. "Kagome!" They all chorused. "You're alright?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded. "I—I think. I'm not sure what was the matter with me." She yawned.

"You guys should get ready," Kagome stretched and stood up from her bed, smoothing down her skirt and her hair. "We can head back to the bone eater's well after breakfast. And maybe after mom goes to the store." Kagome said. Sango and Miroku exchanged looks. "What's that look you two are giving each other?" InuYasha questioned.

"We're fascinated, Kagome. With your world. With how you live when you're not with us," Miroku said. Pausing for a slight second, exchanging another glance with Sango. "We want to stay here for a couple days. Experience what it's like to live in your time."

"NO!" Inuyasha stood up. "NO! We're on a time crunch. We don't have time to waste, spending time in the future or whatever. Let's go back, now." Inuyasha pouted. Kagome sighed, as she received looks from Miroku and Sango. "Come on, Inuyasha." Kagome sighed. "It'd be good. We can get a lot of stuff to bring back…and I don't know. It'd be fun." Kagome urged. She couldn't believe she was actually wanting this to happen. What'd she say to her friends when they'd ask who these people were?

Inuyasha looked around the room. He was outnumbered. He sighed, maybe the group did need a few days to recuperate. Since the disapeerence of Naraku, so many demons who were afraid of him before were fleeing from hiding and coming out into the open. So, they had been fighting a lot every day. Maybe it would be good for them to just take some days and rest.

"Good." Kagome said, acknowledging the look of defeat on InuYasha's face. "My mom will be up by now. I'm sure she's out in the kitchen, you guys can go out." Kagome opened her closet and pulled out her bath robe and a towel. She left to go take a shower.

"Nice clothes, Sango." InuYasha wrinkled his nose as Sango stood up, unbuttoning the top button of the pajamas. Sango rolled her eyes as Miroku stood up as well. "They're nice, InuYasha." She walked out into the living room with Miroku and InuYasha following behind her. They found Sota and Shippo laid out on the couch.

"What is this?" Questioned Miroku as they sat down next to Shippo and Sota. "Sailor Moon re-runs. You can't tell me you've never—oh." Sota began, remembering that they were from the past. "It's really good, guys!" Shippo chirped. "It's about this girl, and she fights crime and stuff."

InuYasha rolled his eyes. Sango and Miroku were entranced in the TV show. "What…what is that, though? This, this talking box? It's like a picture. But it's moving!" Miroku exclaimed. Sota got a good laugh out of this. "It's called a television. It's like, where you watch TV shows." Sota explained, trying hard to explain even though it was such a modern thing.

"I still don't get it," Miroku persisted. "A TV show?" Sota rolled his eyes and laughed. "It's like a story, but people act it out. And we record it on a thing called a video camera. Then we put it on TV. Get it?" Sota asked, reaching over and taking a Chips Ahoy from the package which was resting on Shippo's lap.

"Uh, sure." Miroku rubbed his head in confusion. Kagome appeared before them and smiled. "Hi guys," She waved. "Be right back, I'm gonna go talk to my mom." Kagome entered the kitchen and waved to her mom. "Oh, hi Kagome." Kagome's mother looked up from the newspaper she was reading. "How are you feeling sweetie?" She asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

She shrugged. "Fine, I guess. I don't really know what happened to me." Kagome sighed, sliding into the bar stool next to her mom. "So, when are you guys running back to the past?" Kagome's mom turned the page of the newspaper. "Umm, that's what I wanted to ask you about, Mom." Kagome gulped and looked up at her mother.

"You wanted to ask me about what?" Kagome's mother asked, looking back up from her newspaper. "You see, InuYasha wants to go back to the past soon. He thinks we're wasting time being here. But, Miroku and Sango are really excited to be here. And, I don't know. They might not ever get to come to the present. Can they please stay? Just for a few days, Mom." Kagome bit down on her lip.

The neighbors already didn't like Kagome's family very much. The neighbor's to the right of them didn't like them because when Sato was younger, he and his friends used to jump on their trampoline with out asking. And then the neighbor's to the left of them didn't like them after Kagome and their oldest daughter got into a fight over instant messaging. So, what would happen when 5 strange people, I guess 6 if you count Kirara, came to live in their home for a few days?

Kagome watched her mother with baited breath. "Fine." Kagome's mother sighed. "They can stay. But we're going to have some rules, and we have to take them shopping. If they're going to stay, they can't possibly go out like that."

A smile of victory showed on the young girl's face as she leaned back, crossing her arms over her chest. Oh yes, it would be quite an adventure.
