A young girl lay on the ground, not moving. She was alive though. Her breathing was slow and steady, as if she was asleep. Her long dark brown hair covered her face. Her school uniform was slightly dirty from lying on the ground. It was still early, so no one would see her unless they were up and about.
She awoke to someone gently shaking her. She opened her eyes and rolled over, groaning. Kneeling before her was a boy, probably around 15 like herself. Her eyes widened at the boy. His long black hair waved slightly in the wind. What surprised and shocked her were his little black puppy-dog ears on top of his head.
"Who are you?" asked the girl. She waned to ask 'What are you?' but didn't want sound rude.
"I'm Kyo," he looked at her strange, odd-looking clothes. They weren't from around here. "Who are you? And what's with the funny clothes?"
"I'm not the one with the funny clothes here. You are," she looked at his odd-looking clothes, then at the morning people just getting up. 'This whole city is crazy!' she thought.
"No, I think you are," said Kyo. "Oh well, my mom and dad will know what to do." He got up and held out his clawed hand for her. The girl hesitated for a moment, then took it. He helped her to her feet. "Follow me."
The girl followed closely behind him. Nothing here looked like Tokyo at all! Everything looked like ancient Japan that she read somewhere in history class.
They didn't walk far. It wasn't a very big village. They stood in front of a small, what looked like to the girl, a dojo. The girl stared at everything as she slipped off her shoes at the door and was dragged along the strange looking house.
"Mom! Dad! Come look what I found!" Kyo yelled through the house. He wondered the house, awaiting a reply.
"We're outside sweetie!" yelled his mother. "Don't you dare bring anything dirty through the house either!"
Kyo followed his mother's voice until he got out side where his parents were. His father sat cross-legged on the porch, sharpening a sword with a piece of stone. He had long silver colored hair with silver colored dog-ears. His golden eyes never looked up. His mother's long black hair waved slightly in the wind as she hung up clothes to dry. She didn't have any ears or claws.
"What did you?" his mother turned around and stopped in mid-sentence. She stared at the girl's outfit. "InuYasha, look at what Kyo found."
InuYasha glanced up, but thought nothing of her outfit. Though, he probably didn't even notice. "Yeah Kagome? So, he brought home a girl, who cares?" InuYasha said in his usual rude tone, except for it was a little bit softer.
"Inu...Yasha, look at her again," said Kagome. She put her hands on her hips and tapped her foot.
The girl stood there, staring at InuYasha. Her hands folded in front of her with her arms hanging don. Her brown hair and skirt waved slightly in the wind.
InuYasha sighed and looked up from his sword, meeting her eyes with his. "You're from modern-day Japan, yes? How did you get here?"
"Um… y-yes I guess I'm from modern-day Japan…I-I don't know how I got here…I don't remember anything from yesterday," said the girl.
"What's your name?" asked Kagome. She finished hanging the clothes and sot on the porch near her.
"It's Kiki."
"So, you don't know how you got here?" asked Kyo. He sat next to his dad. Kiki shook her head. "Hmm…mom, aren't you from modern Japan too?"
"I am, but the weird thing is that only me, you, and InuYasha can travel back and forth threw time," said Kagome.
Kiki shrugged. "Like I said, I woke up here, I don't remember anything from yesterday until I woke up."
"Would you like to stay here until we can figure out how you got here and how to get you back?" asked Kagome.
"Thank you for you kindness," Kiki bowed her head slightly in respect.
"Kyo, show her around," ordered InuYasha. He went back to sharpening his sword.
"Where will she sleep? We don't have an extra room," said Kyo.
InuYasha looked up at his son. "Well, there's mine and your mother's room, your room, and the couch." He counted the rooms on his fingers. "Guess who gets the couch?"
Kyo winced. He knew what his father was going to say, but it never hurt to try his luck anyway. "Kiki?"
"No you!"
Kyo sighed. "Alright." He got up and started going inside the house.
"No! I couldn't do that!" said Kiki. She turned to face Kyo. "I don't want to be a bother."
"If you were a bother, we wouldn't have let you stay here," Kagome said sweetly. "It's ok, really."
"Just go already! We asked you to stay didn't we?" growled InuYasha.
"Um, yes sir!" squeaked Kiki. She followed Kyo into the house. She heard Kagome yelled "Sit boy!" then a loud thud. She also heard InuYasha moan, "Ka…go…me."
"Don't be afraid of him," said Kyo. "That's the bathroom." He pointed to the door at their right. "My mum sorts him out when he's getting out of line like just now."
"Um, not to be rude or anything, but what are you and your dad?" asked Kiki. She glanced at his puppy ears.
"We're both half-demons," said Kyo, like it was no big deal. "This is my parents' room and this is my room." He opened his door to his room and noticed Kiki had stopped walking. "What's wrong?"
"D-Demons?"
"Don't worry, we're not going to attack you in your sleep," InuYasha said behind her. Kiki squealed and turned around. "Kagome is human, so we wouldn't attack you."
"I didn't mean that," said Kiki. "Its just demons don't exist where I'm from."
"Well, you are now in feudal Japan. Demons are everywhere, good and bad," said InuYasha.
"There's no need to worry. We'll make sure nothing harms you," said Kagome.
Kiki bowed again. "I'm sorry, this is just all too weird for me." She looked at the small family. They were just like any other family except two of them were demons.
"Come here, I'm sure I have a nightgown you can wear tonight," Kagome took the girl's hand and lead her to her room. InuYasha went back outside and Kyo went into his room to tidy it a little.
"So, you don't remember how you got here?" asked Kagome as she searched for a nightgown for Kiki.
"No," replied Kiki, shaking her head. "The last thing I remember before I woke up her was falling asleep in my bed." Kiki looked up at Kagome. "How did you come across this era anyway?"
"I was pulled into a well at my family's shrine by a demon, then I met InuYasha when I was 15. Me and InuYasha fought all the time," explained Kagome.
"And you ended up getting married and having a son?" asked Kiki. She sat on the bed.
"Yep," said Kagome. "Ah, here, this will probably fit you." She pulled out a nightgown and handed it to Kiki. "Just put it in Kyo's room."
"Thank you," Kiki said as she bowed slightly and walked to Kyo's room. She put the nightgown on Kyo's bed and sat down on it. She looked around. Kyo wasn't in here at the moment. She sighed quietly and fell back on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Kiki," Kagome said walking in Kyo's room a minute later. Kiki sat up. "We're going to visit some old friends. They need to know about this, come on."
"Alright," said Kiki. She got up and left the room behind Kagome. Everyone was in the living room.
"It's not far. We just have to go through a forest and two villages," said Kyo.
"Alright."
Kagome and InuYasha lead the way with Kyo and Kiki taking up the back. Kagome and InuYasha were whispering to each other. Kiki looked around the village. She looked at the people and buildings. Kyo walked in silence, glancing at Kiki every now and again.
"We have to fin a way to get her back to her time as soon as possible," Kagome whispered to InuYasha. "Her parents are probably worried sick over her."
"I know that," whispered InuYasha, "but we don't know how she got here in the first place. We need to find that out first."
"What if she can get through the Bone Eater's Well too?" whispered Kagome.
"We'll try that later. I'm sure Sango, Miroku and Shippo would want to know about this," whispered InuYasha. He glanced back at Kiki and Kyo, catching Kyo glance at Kiki. "It looked like Kyo has a little crush."
Kagome glanced back just as Kyo glanced at Kiki. She covered her mouth with her hand. "It's so cute."
"Too bad he's not man enough to talk to her," whispered InuYasha.
Kagome slapped him on the arm gently. "It's his first crush. There's not a lot of cute girls here."
