Upon arriving at the well, Inuyasha, predictably, tried to attack Kagome, though she was able to keep him pinned to the ground with "sit" long enough to jump inside. She was not followed, and Kagome was slightly disappointed. Perhaps he couldn't come here? Perhaps he didn't want to? The second question made Kagome more disappointed than the first.

Back in her house, Kagome recounted her story to her family, who seemed to take the news rather well. Her grandfather coated the well in charms, whilst her mother expressed mild skepticism. Sota, as any child could be expected to, asked for her to tell him everything, which she did, only to eventually have his attention stollen by the television. See, that was the problem with kids these days. Too much television and not enough...

Kagome had taken a bath, and washed several days of sweat and dirt off herself. She happily helped her mother prepare dinner. Tonight, they were having oden! Kagome could hardly contain her excitement.

"Oden, oden, fa-la-la-la! It's oden! It's oden! Pom-pom-pom, happy day, everything's going my way, pom-pom. It's oden ~~"

"Well, lookit you, not a care in the world. No wonder you wanted to come back." stated a familiar voice.

Kagome looked up.

"Inuyasha-san?"

"No, I'm your darling 'oden', who do I look like?!"

Kagome refrained from making a joke about him merely resembling someone else, who she found much more attractive and intelligent. More so because she was in too much of a shock of seeing him here in this time, rather than her filtering the cruel joke from her speech.

As one would expect, Inuyasha was a spectacle in the Higurashi household. Inuyasha promptly berated her grandfather's seals, and her mother soon after verified if those ears were real or not.

Kagome absentmindedly picked a stray hair off of Inuyasha's sleeve. She flashed back to just last week at school, when Yuka had given her beef for always tucking everyone's shirt tags back in without asking. Not that Yuka could give any explanation for why anyone would ever ask to let the tag hand out all day, but... Kagome was nearly lost in thought when she realized she was unable to get this hair off of her hands and into the garbage can.

"Inuyasha-san, this is some tenacious hair you shed." Kagome said. "Ow!" A strand had managed to give her a paper cut. What in the...

"You can see it?"

"Well, sure, there's got to be a million of 'em growing out of your head." Kagome replied, a bit confused.

"Not this hair, you ninny!" Inuyasha yelled while pointing at his head. "The demon hair that's been trying to kill me any everyone in the village since you left!"

"...the demon hair that's been trying to kill..." Kagome stopped her thought short and gripped her temples with her hand free of murderous demon hair. "...and you came here to tell me and bring a sample because..."

"That old woman said you should be able to see it, too. Seems like she was right. Let's go!"

A horrendous thought struck Kagome.

"Inuyasha-san, if you were able to come here, what's stoping the hair?"

"I dunno. Probably nothing."

"Idiot!" Kagome rushed out of the house and into the well's shrine.
