{Kagome's p.o.v}

I starred out the car window. The houses were flying by so fast, you could barely see them. What caused me to like this place so much? I mean, it's just like any other city. But there was something, ominous about this place. Sort of like what I feel when I'm in the feudal era, looking for jewel shards. Almost exactly like that.

Tobey was chattering about how much martial arts he knew. Yah, right. Apparently he know so much martial arts that when he was five he trained the best martial artist ever known. He was so funny is his annoying way. He kept blabbering on and on until after a while Sue put her hand over his mouth.

"Don't mind him. It's just in his nature to try to impress girls he just met." Rosalyn said. "Especially since he can't impress me or Sue because we know just as much martial arts as he does." she looked at me with an apologetic look on her face.

"That's okay." I laughed. "I spend most of my time with someone like that myself. He just shows it in a different, weird way."

"Hey, Kagome, you never did tell me who any of your friends are." Rosalyn said.

Oh well. Might as well tell the truth… up to a point. "Oh, well, I have a friend named Inuyasha. He had a rough time growing up. His dad died the day he was born. His brother and just about every other kid hated him. And he's hung up on his last brake up." I sorta lied.

"Ouch." Barney stated, not really into the conversation since he was watching something about wrestling.

"There's Sango. She's… in school, training to be a cop." sure that sounded pretty good. "She lost her entire village in a raid. Her brother was tricked into killing her father, than himself on a family vacation. Everybody died in her village, except for her and her cat Kirara."

"That's sad." Sue said. A lone tear fell down her cheek. Rosalyn nodded in agreement. Them and their friends new what it was like to loose someone you loved.

"Then there's Miroku and Shippo. Their… brothers." ah well. Might as well lie just a little bit more. "They lost their family when Miroku was very young. Like, six or seven I think. They went to two different homes. Shippo got raised by a woman and man who had… three children. Miroku went to live with a perverted monk. So growing up with the monk, Miroku became pretty perverted himself."

Rosalyn and Sue shivered. And you could see Sid and Tobey tense up. "But I'm 99.9 percent sure that, if you do meat any of them, it'll be Inuyasha. The others, well let's just say, that they'd have to think outside the box to be able to get here."

Everyone relaxed. But just a bit. All of a sudden the familiar feeling was back. The one that I remember feeling while in the feudal era. Only this time, it was stronger. Much stronger.

Rosalyn, Sue, Tobey, and Sid's eyes all flashed to one window. The window in the same direction that my feeling seemed to pointing to. Rosalyn whispered something into her nana's ear. The woman's eyes grew wide and she stomped on the breaks. Rosalyn, Sue, Tobey, and Sid got out of the car.

"Sorry, we have super small blatters. We'll meet you at the restaurant." Rosalyn said leaning in for a brief second before soundlessly closing the door.

The woman starred as the four ran into a dark alley. I took this chance and silently slipped out of the door. They didn't just need to go to the bathroom. I wanted, no, I needed to see what the were really doing.

I watched as the car drove away. Then I began to run after them. As I ran, the feeling got stronger. They stopped towards the end of the alley.

"Okay Kong Li. We know you're in here! Come out!" Rosalyn shouted in an angry tone.

A man with greasy black hair stepped out of the shadows. The feeling was even stronger now. Finally I remembered what that feeling was!

"Well, if it isn't the four little pests. Come to take another recipe, before I can have my fun?" the man asked.

"Your fun involves destroying China Town!" Tobey yelled. So he was a bad guy huh?

A flash of yellow streaked by them into the shadow. I could make out the shape of it. It was tiny and had two tails. Kirara! I knew I had to do something, even if it meant exposing everything I've been trying to keep a secret. But these kids could never defeat him!

"Kirara! He had a jewel shard in his back!" I yelled. The five people turned to me with surprised looks on their faces. Kirara took on her demon form and ripped the shard from the man's back while he was distracted. She ran to me with it in her mouth. She dropped it in the palm of my hand.

"How did you know I had a shard of the shikon jewel in my back?" the man asked. "Who are you?"

Man why does everyone always ask me that? "I'm Kagome! I'm not anyone else!!" I yelled.

"So, you're not Kikyo's…" the man started

"Shut up! I don't owe you any answers!" I yelled. Kirara nudged me in the side. She had something on her back. My bow and arrow! The man was charging at me for speaking "naughty" to him. I think. Either way, he was still going to attack. I took the bow off Kirara's back. Knocked the arrow and aimed. Please hit, and let go. The arrow hit him square in the arm. Everyone turned to look at me. Why? I don't know. All I do know is that I would have some explaining to do when we got to their house.
