"He can what?!"
"I'm serious. He can kill anything with one punch." said Kagome, exaggerating a punching gesture with her fist. "I've never seen anything like it!"
Sango pursed her lips, "Is that even possible?"
"To be fair," said Miroku thoughtfully. "Kagome-sama's world is far more developed than ours. Anything can be possible there."
"What's this guy look like?" asked InuYasha, baring a toothy snarl. "Like a demon? You feel any weird aura when you're around 'em?"
Kagome thought about it for a moment and then shook her head. Saitama was weird, sure, but that was about all. He couldn't possibly be a demon. His unnatural strength must've come from steroids or something. After all, times were definitely changing. "But that's not even the strangest part! I met this other guy, he said his name was Genos and he's a cyborg."
"Cy-borg." Shippo enunciated slowly. "What does that mean, Kagome?"
Right. They didn't have the slightest clue what a robot or any such machinery-esque term was. "Take... my bike for example. It moves on mostly mechanical parts. A cyborg is a human who has these parts placed inside of them to get stronger."
"So, what can he do?" said the kitsune in awe.
"I haven't seen him do anything yet, but I'm sure it's something interesting." She said assuringly. Kagome scratched her head. "He, uh, wanted me to teach him how to use my arrows because I took out a monster with one."
"And this monster disintegrated the same way that demons do?" wondered Miroku, receiving an affirmative nod from her. "Could it be that they are actually the same?"
"Sometimes I think they might be. My grandpa calls them all demons." Kagome mused, "But, I dunno, there's something different about them. They're weirder-looking, came out of nowhere too a couple years ago."
They kept on going, trekking forward to reach the next projected Shikon shard. Perched securely on InuYasha's back, she poured her concentration into pinpointing the nearest piece.
"So did you teach this Genos about how you expel demons, Kagome?" inquired Sango.
"Mm, not quite. I sort of left him and came back here." She said sheepishly.
Miroku frowned. "That's not very nice, Kagome-sama."
"There's nothing I can teach him!" She fumed, irritated just thinking of the cyborg. "He's annoyingly persistent, never listens to reason, and somehow always interrupting me!"
"Sounds like a certain someone I know." muttered Shippo, earning himself a glare courtesy of InuYasha.
"If he's that persistent, don'tcha think he'll still be waiting for you when you next go back?" The half-demon remarked dryly.
She smiled. "Uh... Oops?"
Well, something would work itself out. Kagome would just have to tell him something came up... but she really just hoped she wouldn't have to meet either of those two weirdos as long as she could help it.
Still, considering her luck, they'd probably be the first people she saw once she climbed back out of the well.
Nars: Not much going on in this chapter. All the drama happens in the present. I'm probably going to change all of the chapter names so they're less disjointed, hmm. Thanks for reading so far :^)
