Hey. Ok first, To anonymous: 1. Yes Inu if very funny when angry. 2. Sesshomaru is my favorite character as well and I assure you there will be plenty more encounters to come between him and Mai. Second, I have most of this written out, it is just a matter of typing and uploading and blah blah blah. So yeah when I get all of the written parts uploaded I will let you know that the uploads will slow down from there so bare with me. A.T.

*Friday After School*

Dylan and Mai were standing with Yuka and the others since Kagome had gone home early to pack.

" So looks like Kagome went home right after school. Too bad... thought we could all hang out for a little while. I guess we'll have

enjoy the weekend without her."

" Pft... yeah, enjoy sitting at the house or going out and getting lost."

Mai rolled her eyes at the sheer thought and put on a scowl.

" At least dog breath wont be able to bug me."

Dylan sweat-dropped while Yuka asked who she was talking about. Then it suddenly clicked.

" Oh! Kagome's boyfriend. He left?"

" Yeah, he said he was taking Kagome with him. I guess she'll be with him for the weekend."

" Right. Anyway we better go. Later."

*Higarashi House*

They siblings walked into the house to see Kagome packing food into a huge bag.

" OK. 1. I thought you left already. And 2. It looks like you planning to feed a damn army."

" Wow. Mai's right. Do you need help with that bag Kagome?"

" Thanks, but Inuyasha's got it."

" Seriously? It looks like it would take at least three guys to lift that thing..."

Inuyasha, who was previously leaning against the wall, picked up the bag with ease causing Mai's mouth to hang slightly ajar.

" OK. Now I'm positive you're not human. Anyway have fun on your trip or what ever Kagome. I need Dylan for an experiment."

She grabbed a hold of Dylan and went up to her room closing the door behind her and taking a shirt to muffle the room.

" OK. We'll wait till they are outside then we follow them. I have a serious suspicion on those two and we are ganna find out what

they are hiding."

They turned to the door when they heard knocking and Mai quickly kicked the shirt from the door just seconds before it opened

and Kagome walked in.

"Hey I'll see you guys when I get back ok?"

She gave them each a hug while they looked for items for their 'project'.

" Alright. See you when you get back." 'Not.'

As soon as Kagome left Mai hastily through whatever she deemed needed into her black blood pattern backpack. Dylan never got

over the shock of how she could practical fit an entire room into her bag. Granted, it was a large army like backpack made for the

abuse she put it through. They ran over to the window just as they heard the front door close. They saw Inuyasha and Kagome

heading for the well shack. Mai looked at Dylan for confirmation that they were actually seeing what they were seeing. When they

looked back to the shack the door had just closed and then there was a bright light spilling from the cracks. Mai took this as a sign

to get moving if she didn't wanna lose them. She secured her bag and grabbed Dylan's wrist. She zoomed into his room and threw

some of his clothes and stuff into one of his normal backpacks. Once he slipped it on they were out the door and standing before

the shack. Mai slowly slid open the door and peaked inside. She didn't see anyone. Mai slipped inside with Dylan behind her.

" Where did they go?"

" No idea."

They began walking down the small flight of steps, until Mai's clumsiness decided to show its self by making her trip on air and

face-plant the ground.

"...Ow..."

She got up coughing then dusted the dirt off of her clothes.

" There's only the well in here so where the heck did they go?"

She peered over the edge of the well to peek inside.

" How is it possible? Mai, can you feel that?"

"Yeeeah, that's weird. Let's check it out."

She jumped into the well dragging Dylan along with her. A violet light engulfed them and mystified them until they landed hard on

their butts at the bottom of the well.

" Ow... rough landing."

Mai had a hand on her upper thigh, but when she noticed the sudden light spilling in from above she looked up.

" Yeah no kidding." Dylan sat up from his spot beside her. " Warn a person next time."

" Weren't we in a shack before?"

" Yeah why?"

"Sky."

Mai pointed up to where she was looking. " Are we being punk'd?"

"I don't think they have that show in Japan Dyl."

Mai grabbed her bag the fell off in the landing, thank goth for padding, and got Dylan up and ready to climb. She climbed up behind

him in case he fell, but when he stopped at the top and wouldn't move, she got annoyed and pushed him out. She climbed the

rest of the way out and sat on the edge of the well where Dylan laid sprawled out on the ground beside it.

" I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..."

" Really? Kansas?"

He questioned her choice or reference while sitting up. When he noticed all the grass and trees, he was nothing less than

stunned.

Mai stood on the edge of the well and looked around until she spotted a village a little ways off. She pointed it out to Dylan when

he stood.

" Let's go there."

Dylan nodded but noticed a large tree off in the distance that seemed familiar.

" Hey Mai wait... look." He pointed out the tree in the distance.

" Isn't that..."

" Mai? Dylan?"

They both turned to see Kagome and Inuyasha walking towards them with three other people and a cat following close. Kagome

ran up to them.

" How did you guys get here?"

Mai was as blunt as ever. " The well."

" We saw you two go to the shed. Mai man-handled me and now we're here... Where exactly is here anyway? And who are those

people with you?"

" Man-Handled? You came WITH me!... Anyway, we're here and this place is just..."

Mai took a slow glance around and became completely calm, dropping her voice to just above a whisper.

"... Amazing."

Dylan glanced at her like the was an idiot, which she could be at times. 'Well you DID grab me. Which was not really called for...'

Inuyasha got right in Mai's face. Bad idea.

" You little sneaks! You were watching us and you followed us here to the Feudal Era!"

Dylan looked at Inuyasha as if he grew a tail to go with his ears.

" The... Feudal... Era?"

Mai busted out laughing.

" I told you I always got into trouble Inu."

She jumped down to the ground and looked around again.

"Dyl, this place is gorgeous!"

She spun around with her eyes closed and her arms out as if she were in a dream.

" Kagome you always come here?"

" Well yeah, but like Inuyasha said, this isn't like our time. The Feudal Era is dangerous."

A little boy who seemed like a mini-elf with a super fluffed tail jumped up on Inuyasha's shoulder.

" Yeah, it's full of scary demons and stuff."

A monk guy walked up beside Mai. " Shippo, you're a demon."

" I'm not a scary demon though."

Mai's eyes were wide as she stared at Shippo. Dylan noticed and and sweat-dropped when Mai snatched Shippo from Inuyasha's

shoulders and hugged him.

" Oh my GOTH! He is so CUTE! Anyway, so what if it's dangerous? I can take care of myself and I can take care of Dylan. Although

don't ask me how because there are things not meant to be known even by Dyl. He knows I hide things."

" It's true. There's a lot of things she doesn't tell me. But i swear... I will find out one day. Umm... Mai you're kind of... hurting

Shippo..."

" Oops..." Mai loosened her grip so that Shippo would look less... blue.

" Also, no you won't. I'm very good at hiding things, but here is a warning to all of you, never go through my bag."

" Mai there are other ways of finding out."

" Yeah, and you'll never find them unless it's a life or death situation, or I'm freaked the fuck out."

" Heh OK Mai whatever."

Everyone stood quiet for a moment while Mai looked out through the trees and breathed in the fresh air deeply.

Mai seemed to almost be in a trance like state.

" No pollution... no artificial lights... no cars and planes... It's paradise."

" Yeah well, it's time for you two to go back."

Mai looked to Inuyasha with a panicked look while backing away toward the tree line.

" No. You'll have to grab me back unconsciously."

Mai took off, leaving he group stunned, Dylan especially.

" Mai... Mai! Come Back!" 'S-she left me...'

Kagome put a hand gently on Dylan's shoulder.

" Inuyasha why did you say that? Now look at what you did."

*Mai*

She kept running as fast as her feet would carry her.

' Dylan please forgive me. I can't go back... I can't...' " AGH!"

Mai hit the dirt hard. She rubbed her head as she turned, coming face to face with what tripped her.

" Stupid human! Watch were you are going..."

Mai just stared at the weird little green creature before her.

SNAP!

" AGH! TALKING RAT!"

She swung her leg back, pushed it into a strong kick and sent the little creature flying. Mai panted from her little panic episode till

she heard a little girls voice from behind her.

" Wow you kicked him far!"

Mai slowly stood and turned to face the child with her hair slightly hanging in her face. Then she noticed a two-headed dragon standing beside the

kid, along with a tall man with long, shining white hair and a huge fluffy boa over his shoulder. One thought ran through Mai's mind.

HOTTIE!

Mai quickly looked away from the man when she noticed she was staring and turned her attention to he girl.

" Sorry... about that. Was that your pet rat?"

The little girl shook of her amazed look and smiled at Mai.

" No that was Master Jaken, not a rat. My name's Rin."

" Oh. Well, my friends are probably worried. I should get back... Bye."

Mai tried her best not to look the man in the eye, though she could feel his bored gaze on her, as she nodded respectfully to him

and the dragon. She turned to the direction of her aim and sucked in lungs full of air.

" Sorry Jaken!"

With that she turned back and ran off.
