Kayla and Jillian were helped on the yellow, blimp-like creature's back by a certain, suspiciously happy monk. Hachi rose to the clouds, and spoke to his passengers in his booming, echoing voice. Then, Miroku joined the conversation.

"So, you girls come from Kagome's time also? But, from what I understand, you both have claimed to be uninformed of the bone eaters well. How is this possible?" Miroku asked.

"Dude! Quit the smart act! You sound like the MCAS! Talk like a normal person, ya freak of nature!" Kayla shouted, obviously getting frustrated. "Buddha will hear about this, young man!"

"That monk is waaaay more freakish than ya think....." Inuyasha grumbled.

"Uh-huh." Shippo agreed.

"Why do you say th--" Suddenly Jillian was cut off by the sudden presence on her backside. "--at. Oh, I get it."

"A-aren't you bothered by that? That...that...." Kagome looked at Jillian in disbelief.

"I've met waaaay worse pervs 'en 'im." Jillian said, while biting into an apple. "But, Miroku...is, well...he's..."

Suddenly out of impulse Jillian ran over to the resting half-demon, and pushed him off the side of Hachi's face. 'That should create enough of a diversion.' She thought.

"What the hell was that forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed, falling a few hundred feet off Hachi's back.

Right then, Kayla shot an intimidating look of shock and anger at Jillian. "What the fish possessed you to push him?! He didn't do anything wrong!!" Kayla screamed.

"It'll be OK, Kayla. Inuyasha tough, and strong." Kagome comforted. Kayla completely ignored her, and looking worryingly over the edge of Hachi. But she leaned just a little to far, and she slipped over the edge.

"KAYLA!!!"Jillian screamed, ready to cry. "Oh, no! I killed her!!!"

She then burst out in tears.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" Kayla screamed, falling closer and closer to her death in feudal Japan. Kayla fell, and fell, and fell. She continued to descend toward a clump of forest. Screams filled the air as she hit her leg on a branch and tumbled downward, almost to the ground. But then came--

Her knight in a shining......red kimono? Inuyasha sprinted out of the trees, and caught her. Perfectly cradled in his arms, she grabbed on and then realized Jillian's intentions. 'We didn't want to tell all of them that we have read this as a manga. So they wouldn't know that we're in love with them...'

"Hey, you OK?" Inuyasha didn't stop running. "That idiot push you, too?! Why the hell?! I'm gonna kill her later--"

"Don't. Please." Kayla smiled up at him.

"Huh?! Why not!?" Inuyasha kept running.

"Inuyasha, relax. She had good intentions."Kayla smiled, knowing that Jillian was probably biting Miroku or something.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I wonder if Inuyasha caught her..." Jillian looked worried. She glanced at Miroku, who also looked worried. Just then, they heard stomping footsteps from outside Kaede's hut.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Inuyasha came in, still carrying Kayla.

"You could of killed her!!" He set her down gently on a mat.

"I have my reasons." Jillian smiled, knowing Kayla was alright. "Anyway, I didn't push her off Hachi. It was her love that pushed her just over the edge--"

"Huh-What-?!?!" Kagome looked at Kayla, and then at the dense Inuyasha, who had a very puzzled expression.

"Get some rest, ye be needin' it for tomorrow. Ye too, Inuyasha." Kaede sighed, and then returned to her work of laying down mats for their guests.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, Jill?" Kayla whispered.

"Yeah?" Jillian asked.

"Thanks." Kayla smiled an invisible smile.

"Wait, what did I do again?"
