Hey guys! Thank you for reading and reviewing.

And I'm sorry I forgot to mention the meaning of the Japanese words in the previous chapter! So here it is:

Kami : God.

-Sama : It is a honorific word used to refer to revered people. Here, assume it as LORD.

Miko : Priestess.

Now that it's clear, Here is the next chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters in it. I only own the plot and it's ideas which came out from my honest imagination.

CHAPTER 2 : Aren't you a witch?!

I tried opening my eye lids. They were so heavily laid on my eyes, I could barely try pushing them up. I finally will myself to open them and look around. The images I saw were blurry. I blinked several times to get more clarity. I was able to make out two girls looking at me and chatting and an old lady cooking. There were also two boys coming in through the door. As I slowly try sitting up, I feel a hand upon my shoulder gently trying to steady me.

"There, take it easy now. Your wound isn't so fatal but don't try moving it around so much, ok?" It was a girl about my age with black hair upto her back. She had fringes framing her face. She had fair skin and a beautiful face. I slowly nod my head in understanding. 'She looks so pretty! And her voice is so soft and gentle...'

"Would you like to eat something? Or have a drink?" This girl had brown hair tied up into a pony tail. The fringes at the front of her face parted at the center to reveal a part of her forehead. She had red eye shadows. She also had a very beautiful figure.

I didn't know if I could trust them despite their gentleness. For all I know, they could have poisoned it! So I open my mouth to politely refuse without raising any suspicion but—

"Gurr...grr...gurr..." Seems like my stomach rudely disagreed to my thoughts and beat me to it. 'My body is so hopeless, it won't even listen to me!'

"Seems like your very hungry. Why don't you have some hot soup? It is very refreshing and nutritious." The raven haired girl suggested. 'As if I have an option to refuse now! Why can't my stomach listen to me! Isn't my brain supposed to be the head of my system?!'

Lost in my thoughts I forgot to give a reply to her. Finally when I came out of it, the Silver haired boy with red kimono beat me to it.

"Oi! Kagome! Don't scare her away by saying things like 'nutrition'. Despite her hunger, she will just shut up and all together decide against eating! You know, your the ONLY ONE who likes to eat like an old hag."

"INUYASHA! SIT BOY!"

As soon as she yells this, his face connects with the floor along with the rest of his body. She turns to look at me with a fake smile pasted over her face with her eyebrows twitching. She asks me in a sugary sweet voice:

"Never mind him. Would you like to have the soup?"

I gulp looking at the boy behind her and rapidly start nodding my head in agreement.

"Good. Let me get some for you!" Saying this she goes away.

'Did I just think she had a gentle voice?! She is a snake disguised as dove! NEVER MIND HIM?! That poor boy must have fractured his bones for just giving an honest opinion! How did she do that without even moving a muscle? I know, she must be a witch! And she just publicly demonstrated her powers! That means everyone here already knows about this. That old lady over there is also dressed in a similar fashion. She must be an experienced witch! Then the-'

"Hey, are you alright? Is there anything wrong?" The brown haired girl asks me. I swiftly nod again saying no. She smiles and gets up to leave after which a guy dressed in purple colored monk clothes comes to me and sits down next to me. He had black hair tied up into a pony tail at the base of his head. He was holding a staff with many rings attached to it at the top.

"I need to tell you something very important. Something I can't hold back. One look at you and I knew that I just couldn't resist this temptation. Tell me," Saying this he holds both of my hands in his and asks me, "Will you bear my children?" 'What?! Bear his children! I just met him! Does he think it's funny? Why that bastard! I'll show him whose funny now!'

THUD!

A sound resonated through the hut effectively making all it's residents stop their work and turn to look towards our direction. The silver haired boy named Inuyasha was the first one to break the silence.

"Hey Sango, if your here, how did you slap Miroku?"

"I didn't this time."

Then all turn and face me. 'Oh no! I'm in the witches' home and I slap one of it's citizen! Maybe that was a bit extreme...but I have a justified reason too!'

"He..he..he...That was actually me. But I have a proper reason! He was actually asking me if-"

"Chill out. I know, he totally deserves it. That guy is a total pervert. And I forgot to warn you about him." The girl named Kagome's voice cuts me off mid-sentence. "Now, here, have this soup. You'll feel much better!"

I nervously take the bowl with my hands. I glance around and remember that old woman who brewed this. 'Wait! What if this is some kind of magic potion to trap me here! In the manga I read, they use potions to separate the soul from the body. Why would they want to do that to me?! Uhh...this all too much for me to take!'

All of them look at me intensely as if waiting for me to drink it and faint. But having left no other alternative I merely close my eyes and drink it. I feel the contents of the soup go down my gut. 'This is it for me. My throat is going to burn any moment now. I'm going to go unconscious now. I can feel the taste of this-Hey! This actually tastes good! Do potions generally taste so TASTY?! Such a pity...' I continue to close my eyes waiting to fall down. But, nothing happens. NOTHING. So, I slowly open my eyes to look around. Everyone were staring at me curiously. 'Why are they staring at me like that?'

"Hey, are you alright? I mean, is there any problem?" Kagome asks me again. 'I can't put up with this anymore! It's best if I confront them and find out the truth behind this place. Atleast that way I will know what I've gotten myself into!' I sit back properly and put on a fake calm expression and ask them whatever I had in my mind.

"A-Actually, yes. I would like to know about many things from you. Tell me: WHERE on EARTH is this place? WHAT the HELL is that CENTIPEDE WITH WOMAN'S BODY? HOW can it TALK? WHAT SPECIES OF ANIMAL does it belong to?! WHY the HECK was it ATTACKING ME?! Actually, HOW can you BREAK that boy's bones WITHOUT even MOVING? And, WHY isn't he WOUNDED?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU SOME KIND OF WITCHES?! DID YOU GIVE ME THAT POTION TO DRINK TO TRAP MY SOUL?! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" I start breathing heavily now. After finishing saying all of that, I feel better. Even if it is only a little. 'So much for me keeping calm!'

All of them look at me and blink a few times and then...BURST LAUGHING! 'What is going on? Coz' I was totally serious! Did someone spray laughing gas? But, I don't feel it's affects! Then, this means they are making fun of me! I'm sick of this! I'm leaving!'

I get up to leave. I see the silver haired boy laying flat on the floor along with a small boy with a TAIL thumping on the floor hardly, their eyes watering. That Sango girl and that pervert are laughing loudly, wiping the tears from their eyes. Kagome on the other hand along with that old woman put up quite an effort trying to contain their laughter, though they are visibly failing. 'I don't understand just what is so funny about anything I said!' Angered by their reaction, I decided to quickly walk away from these nutcases. I took some steps and silently walked out of the house.

I look around for a bit. That guy who saved me earlier wasn't there. 'Maybe he must have left...' I look to my left and then my right. All around me there was only greenery with a few houses at a distance to my left. 'The well I came out of was surrounded by only greenery, like in the middle of a forest. So I must go to my right!' Deciding the path to take I head towards my right. I was able to take only a few steps before I was stopped by him standing in front of me, blocking my path. 'I thought he left.'

After walking out the hut Inuyasha and his monk friend follow me out. I continued walking till he stopped me.

"Oi! Sesshomaru! How did you come across her?"

"I don't see how any of that is relevant to anything."

"Just answer the question! How did you find her?! Did you do anything-"

"We just wanted to know how she was wounded, if you know anything about it, Sesshomaru-sama." The monk interferes Inuyasha before a fight started.

"Hn. She was being chased by the demon hag, already wounded, when I found her. I merely picked her unconscious form and bought her here as it was the closest place from where I was."

"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama."

I was looking at the distance where Jaken was feeding Ah-Un. It seemed to be a good thing to leave them there. Or else Jaken would become so noisy again.

"Why did you save her Sesshomaru? You hate humans don't you?" It was Inuyasha again. Even I don't know the actual reason why I saved her. It was probably a reflex action, 'all because of the time I spent with her...' I turn to look at him.

"I am not obliged to answer that question to you."

"Wait. You know about that pearl already don't you? That is why you saved her, isn't it? Tell me!"

"Would I be waiting here, wasting my time like this, if I already knew about it? It never ceases to amaze me how low your IQ actually is."

"Why you! Huh, wait. Why did you save her then?"

"Do not make me repeat myself half-breed. I already told you. I am not obliged to answer that question to you. Now leave me alone."

I quickly turn and walk away, going towards the trees in the forest after instructing Jaken to wait here till I return. I had to spend some time alone. 'Why did I actually save her? What the half-breed said is true. I despise humans. Then, what prompted me to dive in to help her? A reflex action. That must be it. After all the time I spent with her, trying to save her from that vile Naraku, seems like I couldn't stop myself from jumping in to save this one. But, a human? She is truly different from the rest. Her clothes are very revealing too. Similar to the ones the young miko used to wear before this. Did she not find proper clothes befitting a girl of her age..? Damn it! Now, I'm thinking about a girl's clothes! Never mind such things. I wonder about this pearl...it seems to strike some familiarity in my mind. Where have I come across this before? What could be so important about it? How did she come across it? Hmm...'

I was lost in my thoughts till I hear some noises like laughter coming from the direction of the hut. I decide to ignore it but then, I smell the girl coming out of the hut. I quickly go to observe her. When I reached there, I saw her looking to her right and left. Inside the hut I can hear everyone laughing, the half-breed being the loudest. And then she turns to her right and walks away. Something doesn't seem right. So I block her path appearing before her.

"Where do you think your going?"

"Me? Back home! Away from all of you witches! I don't understand why do you people want to trap my soul but I won't let you!" 'Witches? Trapping her soul? Just what did those humans tell her? But that is beside the point. Does she not know anything about demons and our existence? That is strange.'

I wait for the tall guy in front of me to reply. But before he spoke anything, I hear another voice coming from behind me.

"Wait! You misunderstood us! Let us explain!" It was Sango.

"Yes. Explain, what? The reason why you people are bent on KILLING ME?!"

"NO! Why would we? Haven't you heard about—Woah!" Kagome breaks off mid-sentence. She looks at me from top to bottom, her eyes widening so much I thought it would pop out of their sockets! "I can't believe I didn't notice this before! I'm an idiot! A complete idiot!"

"What are you babbling about Kagome? But, of-course, the idiot part was completely correct though..."

"INUYASHA...SIT BOY!" She yells again. And once again his face connects with the ground with a loud THUD.

"I knew it! See, you ARE a WITCH! You just demonstrated your powers again! I won't let you kill me!" Everyone bursts laughing again. I was pissed this time. I take off to my right at full speed before bumping against a hard wall. I look up from the ground to see who it was. Of-course, it was the tall silver haired guy, about who presence I completely forgot about.

"Wait. Is that the reason why you thought of us as witches?" The perverted guy in traditional monk clothes asks me.

I get up, not receiving the help I expected from this tall guy, and slowly start brushing my clothes from the dust it must have acquired from my fall. Then Kagome speaks pointing her index finger at me in a shaky motion.

"Y-You. You are from Kitohora high aren't you?" I nod. 'Finally someone who knows something I know!' "Yes! I knew it! I can recognise that uniform anytime anywhere! It was my dream school...WAIT! Th-Then that means y-your from the future!"

After Kagome's sudden outburst we all look at her. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango look at her in shock while I and this silvered haired tall guy look at her as if she is some stupid who just came out of the psycho ward.

"This is all so ridiculous! You. Please tell me the direction to the school from here and I'll be gone! And then you people can continue your drama, witch-craft or whatever you feel like doing!" I broke out destroying the silence.

"No. Please. Listen to me. We need to talk. Give us a chance to explain everything atleast! Then, you decide what you would like to do about these things. Please!" Kagome pleaded me. But, I didn't want to stay. I wanted to run away as far as possible from this place. But, my curiosity got the better of me. I really wanted to know the strange things that were happening in this place. Especially what she meant by saying that I'm from the future. 'Damn my curiosity! Didn't it kill the cat? Huff! But, I can't help it!'

"Fine, I agree. But no magic, please." Kagome smiles and leads me to a stone bench and sits down opposite to me. Everyone follows suit.

"Sesshomaru-sama. You may want to listen to this. You may get answers to some questions that may be in your mind for a long time now." Kagome speaks again. He stands there for a moment before walking over to a nearby tree and leaning over it. 'Likes to act cool, now, does he? Show-off!'

"Well, first, can I know your name?" Kagome breaks my thoughts.

"I'm Rin. Ayuzawa Rin." I reply back and slightly smile.

"Well Rin. It's actually a long story. But let me tell you what you need to know right now. I am Higurashi Kagome. I used to live in the Higurashi shrine a little out of Tokyo city. My grandpa used to take care of the shrine. He told me lots of tales and stories about the shrine and our history, but I never believed even a single one of them. But, one day, when I went in search of my cat into an old store-house, a light flashed from the well and something pulled me inside it. I closed my eyes as someone attacked me and a jewel came out of my abdomen. It was after me and then I met Inuyasha. Well, let's just say he killed it and then many others were after this jewel. But, that is not what I need to tell you. You see, when I came out of the well, I travelled back in time. 500 hundred years back in time. This is the Sengoku jidai. And, all those stories you read in your history are true. Things such as Demons, Spiritually powerful priestess' and Monks exist. The someone I mentioned were also demons. Infact, look here, Sesshomaru there is a full-fledged dog demon. Both his parents were full demons, so pure demon blood flows in his veins. Inuyasha here, is his younger half-brother. Since his mom was a human, he is a half-demon. Miroku is a monk with spiritual powers and Sango is a demon slayer and her pet two-tailed cat is actually a full cat demon. Shippou is a full fox demon. And Kaede and I are priestess' with spiritual energy. I hope you understand now. Atleast a little better than before."

I stare at her amazed by what she has just revealed. 'Is this possible? But that explains why that centipede woman could talk, why they are all dressed in traditional clothes, why that Inuyasha guy has dog ears on his head while that other guy who saved me has long elf like ears. Why the cat has two tails and why the rest of them carry some sort of weapons like swords, big boomerbang and bow and arrows. Maybe, just maybe, all of this can be real!'
