Grumbling under her breath, Kagome stomped through what most surely was not Tokyo. It wasn't the Feudal Era either, because she saw some structures that looked more European, or early settlers of America. So she was either in Europe or America. Pursing her lips, she just hoped she wasn't question for her clothing or the bow and quiver of arrows strapped to her back.

It had been almost two weeks since the defeat and destruction of both Naraku and the Shikon, which meant she had no way of getting home, not that she would wish on that cursed thing. She had wanted to go home to assure her family that she was still alive and that they had come out victorious, only she was in the magic of the well far longer than normal, and wound up in the middle of a field.

The sound of a gun shot ringing through the air shook her out of her thoughts, but it was quickly followed by an earth shaking roar. Blinking, she quickly went over of whether she should avoid going in that direction or... another roar and muffled shouting had her running towards the source. Against her better judgment.

Pulling her bow from her back and knocking an arrow against it, she pushed herself to run faster. Her and her bleeding heart. Not only that, a gun shot meant a gun was used, and hopefully a modern one meaning people she could talk to, explain, and hopefully get a way home.

She slid to a stop at the giant... well giant gray skinned creature that was crowding in over someone. It was difficult to tell how, the giant was blocking pretty much most of them, but she knew she had to do something. A person shouting drew the attention of the... giant, causing it to swing it's body around with a rumbling snarl. Kagome mentally rolled her eyes as they began on talking to the creature while she drew back on her bow tightly and aimed at the oddly shining eyes.

Her last encounter with a giant, well oni, proved to go for the exposed soft spots. Releasing her arrown, she watched with narrowed eyes as it sailed through the air, glowing a might brighter than she was used to or expected, to sink heavily in the eye. She watched as the purification slowly took effect, but it ate away at the creature like it would had it been a youkai, just... slower. Pursing her lips, the idea didn't settle right with her at how long it took. She was always against killing a being, regardless of what they were, unless she absolutely had too.

"Emma, are you alright?" the voice drew her out of her thoughts, and she decided to make her way towards the two women.

Swiping her arrow, she replaced it into her quiver as she observed the two woman. One had long blond hair, wore a red leather jacked over a plain dark shirt, jeans and leather boots. The other, threw her off a little. Pixie cut hair, soft pastels and clothing cut in a way that looked like... a school teacher. But she had to wonder at the arrow and quiver along with the sword attached to her hip.

The dark haired one turned to her after handing a rather squashed looking gun over to the blond, Emma if she remembered correctly. "Thank you. You saved my daughters life."

Kagome felt her brows shot up to hide beneath her bangs. Switching her gaze between the two of them, she found it hard to see them as mother and daughter. They looked the same age! Trying to relax her shock, she offered a polite smile and slight bow. "It was nothing, I'm glad I was able to help. But... what was that thing?"

She watched as the two turned to share a look, the dark haired one looking highly confused while the blond shrugged her shoulders.

"It was an ogre." the one with dark hair watched her with wary eyes while she readjusted her hold on her own bow. "I need to know, who are you?"

"Kagome Higurashi. And you are..." she relaxed her stance, hoping to help ease the woman by showing she meant no harm.

"I'm... Snow White, and this is my daughter Emma." the woman offered, at first hesitantly but full of confidence.

Blinking, a somewhat awkward silence settled over them. "Snow White. As in, Snow White and the seven dwarves, Snow White?" her brows furrowed, while her mind was at war. Half of it accepted the new found facts due to what she had been through, the other said this woman needed help and fast.

"Yes. You... don't believe me, do you." it wasn't a question., but Kagome was quick to answer.

"Oh no, I do believe you! It's just... the last time I met a princess from a fairy tale... she decided to put my friends and myself on a menu before wanting to escape her prison to rule the world." she pursed her lips only to pop them as they stared at her, blinking rapidly at her.

Looking off to the side, she observed their surrounding. It was nice country side, it really was, but the situation was... stiff. "Look, can you tell me where we are? I was on my way home when... the way dropped me off here about half an hour ago."

"Well, this is the kingdom of the Enchanted Forest. Though I need to know, where are you from and how did you get here." Snow White spoke up, she seemed nervous for some reason.

"Kingdom... of the... Enchanted Forest." oh, she felt like she was just blown out of the water with that bit of information. Shaking her head, she quickly went to answer their question. "I was on my way to Tokyo, Japan. I was... using a... magical well. It allowed me to travel between the modern time and the past. But something was off this last jump... I don't know what, but I ended up here." shrugging her shoulders, she pursed her lips as she mentally went over everything before jumping into the well and as she was in the well.

"A magical well, really?" Emma spoke up for the first time, her tone showed she truly didn't believe her.

"Yeah, a magical well. You were face to face with an ogre, but you have trouble believing in a magical well?" she offered a sly smirk as Emma pursed her own lips and glanced off to the side.

Snow White observed their surroundings. "Come, the others are most likely waiting for us. You can come with us, Kagome, I believe you have quite the story to share. Especially with how you reacted to that ogre, and what you did to it."

Shrugging her shoulders, she went with them. They looked to be her best bet to getting back home. "Sure thing."

So she trecked with Snow White and Emma to where their other companions were waiting for them, explaining as quickly and clearly as possible her own story. It was the condensed verion of ten years, highly condensed.

"So... you were born with a mystical item inside of you, traveled through time, fought the forces of evil, made friends with all sorts of beings, and came out the winners in the end. All within ten years." Emma was counting off her fingers as Kagome nodded her head to each point.

"Yup. But you also forgot how I broke said item" Kagome offered cheekily. It was a fact she felt so guilty about for the first year, but then Sesshoumaru of all people told her if she hadn't they wouldn't have discovered Naraku and all the crimes he had commited.

And also the training Miroku, Sango, Kaede and Sesshoumaru put her through to enable her sure success in defeating Naraku and destroying the Shikon. It had been hell, but she came out stronger for it, a survivor.

"So... there is magic back in that world." Snow White muttered, but Kagome heard her all the same.

"Of course there is. Although, it's not the same as it was in the past, or as much. Times changed, peoples belief in magic as well." Kagome readjusted her bow and quiver to a more comfortable position as they climbed up a hill.

When they reached the top, there were three others waiting for them. Two women and a man. One woman looked like a princess, a soft gray cloak draped over her shoulders and covering her most of her soft violet dress. The other wore armor, a hand on the hilt of her blade and wore a slight scowl in the man's direction. Said man wore black, dark hair, stubble and a beard, a flash of silver instead of a left hand cased Kagome to pause.

Leaning closer to Emma, she began to whisper her question. "...is that?"

"Captain Hook? Yes, it is." there was a scowl on Emma's face as she seemed to growl out her answer. She turned to Kagome, whose face was painted all shades of confused. "Not what you were expecting, huh."

"Nope." letting out a sigh as she shook her head. "Let's just say, Disney and story books had pretty much the same general way of portraying certain... people. Your mom and him shot those all to hell."

Emma snorted, a wry smirk as she shook her head. The three of them stopped when they reached the others, Kagome drawing their immediate attention.

The woman in armor turned to her with narrowed eyes. "Who is she?" her tone was strong, but not overly commanding or demanding.

"Mulan, Aurora... Hook, this is Kagome. She helped... defeat the ogre." Snow White introduced Kagome to the others.

Kagome blinked wide eyes, this was -the- Mulan? She was much more kick ass than Disney's portryal of her. Emma snorting drew her attention, and she raised a questioning brow.

"Defeated the ogre? That's an understatement. More like vaporized." she smirked in Kagome's direction, to which Kagome could only roll her eyes too.

"I told you, purified. Two very different things." she playfully punched Emma in the arm.

"Looked the same to me." she smiled as Kagome grumbled under her breath.

"Why is she here?" all women turned to the single male of the group.

Raising a brow, Kagome stared him down. "I'm here to help, and hopefully get back home. You have a problem with that?"

He threw her a rackish smile as his eyes pursewed her form form top to bottom. "Of course not, love. What man doesn't love being surrounded by beautiful women?"

Rolling her eyes, Kagome quietly groaned. "Great, he's one of those types."

Hook laughed. "A challenge, I think I'll enjoy this."

"I'm sure you will. But I'm going to warn you, I'll remove something more... treasured, than a hand if you cross the line." a brow raised challenging as he continued to smirk in her direction.

Mulan raised a brow before turning to Emma and Snow White. "I like her."

Feeling it was time to get back on track, though she had no idea what that was, Kagome spoke to the others. "So... what's the plan?"

Hook stepped closer to her, throwing his right around around her shoulders as he spoke up. "Well, we're on our way to climb the bean stalk and retrieve a special compass from the land of the giants."

Elbowing the man in his side, not enough to truly hurt him but enough for him to back off, Kagome turned to him with a light scowl. "We don't know eachother well enough for you to act friendly with me."

"Are you saying if we did, we could?" he waggled his brows at her.

Rolling her eyes again, Kagome thought it best to step away from the man. She had dealt with Miroku for ten years, she recognized the signs of a ladies man so she thought it best to keep some distance between them. A few minutes later, they all headed out towards the location of where the giant bean stalk was said to be.

Kagome's brow began to tick when she felt someones gaze on her, it was heavy enough that it could almost be physical. "Nuh-uh, you're up front, Captain."

He paused and tossed an innocent look her way as he held up his hand and hook. "What, I was just enjoying the view." the smirk he gave said he most deffinately was.

Narrowing, she crossed her arms of her chest. "I'm sure you were. Now up front, where I know you won't cause trouble."

He gave her a slight bow, his eyes still on her. "I aim to please, love." he stood back up, and walked so he was ahead of her. "Besides, perhaps you'll enjoy the view better this way. Not that I mind."

Kagome blushed at the insinuation or his invitation to 'enjoy the view'. Pursing her lips, she waited until he was ahead of her before walking herself. Staring at the ground, she marched behind him not seeing Emma siddle up till she was walking next to her.

"Are... the two of you... flirting?" her tone was teasing, but also held a hint of curriousity.

Whipping her head up and face Emma so quickly, she was sure to give herself whiplash. "No! What on earth gave you that sort of idea?" she narrowed her eyes on the smirk and innocent shrug of shoulders Emma gave her.

"Just asking. You've been with us for a hour now, near him for less than half the time, you sure are getting cozy with a stranger." Emma chuckled as Kagome sputtered before forcing herself to face forward, though was sure to avoid looking at the pirate captain.

She would admit, the woman was entertaining, and proved to be honest, even if her tale was really out there. Kagome proved to be powerful, in her own right, but she was worried Corra would get attracted to that and attempt something, or that Hook would share about Kagome to Regina's mother. She had a feeling things were going to get... interesting, and that was putting it mildly.
