They had walked for about three miles when they all got tired, even InuYasha. They found shelter and slept until morning
Kiki was the first to get up. She still had a headache, but only slightly. She sat up and yawned. He stomach growled. She hadn't eaten since the day before. She looked over at InuYasha, Kagome, and Kyo. They were still asleep. There was no one back home that was as cute as Kyo.
There were cute boys, sure, but Kyo had something else about him. Maybe it was the cute dog-ears? Kiki didn't know.
Kiki sighed and lay back down, waiting for the rest of them to wake up. She stared at the clouds. They were different than at home. She didn't know why or how. They were just different.
“You could have woken us up you know,” said InuYasha. He sat up and yawned.
“I didn't want to,” Kiki sat up herself. “You all looked so peaceful sleeping.”
Kyo sat up yawning. “You weren't bored then?”
Kiki shook her head. “No. Everything's so much more beautiful here then back at home. Too much industries and such, not enough nature, I guess. I was just admiring it.”
InuYasha and Kyo blinked at her. “We've always liked it here too. Too many people were you live,” Kiki nodded in agreement. InuYasha shook his wife gently. “Wake up Kagome.”
“Sit boy,” muttered Kagome. InuYasha hit the ground with a thud. Kagome rolled over and winked at Kiki.
“Kagome…” moaned InuYasha. “That was not cool.”
Kagome sat up and yawned. “What was not cool?” she asked in her most innocent voice. She smiled at InuYasha. Kiki covered her smile with her hand.
“Oh very funny Kagome. Kyo, come on, we're getting something to eat,” growled InuYasha. Despite that, he still kissed Kagome on the cheek before leaving.
“He seems to really love you,” comment Kiki after InuYasha and Kyo left. “I hope the one I fall in love with loves me as much as he loves you.”
“He does, and that's every girls' dream right? To fall in love with someone they love and trust.
Most men don't understand that,” said Kagome, smiling. “So, do you have anyone other than your family waiting back at home?”
“Yes and no.”
“Yes and no?”
“Let's just say he isn't the best in the world,” said Kiki.
“He doesn't beat you does he?” asked Kagome in a very worried voice.
“No, no, it's not that. Everyone tells me he's a little playboy. I don't know whether to believe them or not. They also tell me, he just wants to have his way with me, then leave me. I-I don't know if its true or not,” said Kiki. She played with the hem of her skirt.
“Do your parents know about what people say about him?” asked Kagome.
Kiki shook her head. “No, they don't. I like him, but if I found out that the rumors are true, I can't stay with him.”
Kagome put her hand on Kiki's hand. “Just follow your heart. It never lies to you.” Kiki looked up and nodded.
“Since we don't have a fire, Kyo and me brought back some fruit,” said InuYasha. Him and Kyo walked toward Kagome and Kiki. They sat down and handed fruits to the girls. Kiki nodded thanks to Kyo and InuYasha. “You're a nice girl.”
“I was taught to be. That's how I was raised,” smiled Kiki.
Ten minutes later, they started to walk on again. In a short hour, they came out of the forest. About half a mile away was the first village. Kiki could see the small huts and farms.
“Come on,” said Kyo. “This is where Shippo lives. He's very funny and really nice.”
They walked a little faster. Kiki looked around the village when they got there. It was almost the same as InuYasha's village. People were dressed the same and the houses were built the same.
“Shippo! Yo Shippo!” yelled InuYasha when the group received his home. Kiki stood with her hands behind her quietly. Kyo stood next to her, his hands resting in the sleeves of his gi. InuYasha leaned against a pillar, his hands in his gi too. Kagome stood the same way as Kiki.
A very tall, very handsome young fox demon walked out of his house. He appeared to be at least 20 years old. His brown hair was pulled back and his bushy beige colored tail swished behind him. “Hey guys…who's that?” Shippo nodded at Kiki. “Is she from your time Kagome?” He said, noticing her clothes. He was sharper in noticing than InuYasha was.
“She is, but she doesn't know how she got here. We're going to see Sango and Miroku next. I suspect you all want to see her first,” explained Kagome. “She is the only one besides InuYasha, Kyo, and myself to cross over time.”
“Are you going to Sango's and Miroku's now?” asked Shippo. They all nodded. “Alright, I'm coming too.”
“Alright, let's go,” said InuYasha. He got off the pillar and started to walk through the village. The others followed behind him.
“I'm Shippo by the way,” Shippo held out his hand for her to shake.
“Kiki,” Kiki shook his hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“Same to you,” said Shippo. Next to Kiki, he was about half a foot taller, and Kiki noticed, it looked like her walked on his toes. “How did you come across InuYasha's family?”
“I woke up to Kyo shaking me. He took me to his house to meet his parents. He said they know what do to,” said Kiki.
“I see,” said Shippo. Kiki nodded. “So, you don't know how you get here?”
She shook her head. “Nope. It's kind of weird.”
Kiki looked around as they neared the end of the village. A beautiful lake ran to the right of her.
It glittered beautifully in the morning sun. In front of her was a huge green grassy plain. A dirt road lay in the middle of it. They were following that road now. Kiki figured it headed to the next village.
“Miroku! Sango! Get out here!” yelled InuYasha when they reached their house ten minutes later. He leaned again their pillar and waited for them to come out.
“What is it Inu-who's that?” asked Miroku. He stared at Kiki.
“Is that the greeting I get!” growled InuYasha. But, Miroku wasn't listening to him; he was listening to Kiki's story.
“Miroku, who is it?” asked Sango from inside the house.
“InuYasha's family and a new girl,” shouted Miroku. He sat down on the porch. His short black hair was pulled into a low ponytail. His eyes stared at them all. He wore the same outfit he always did...his beloved purple monk outfit and he had his staff with him too.
“Kyo's girlfriend?” asked Sango, coming out of the house. Her long black hair was tied back into a very low ponytail. She wore a simple kimono like Kagome's. Both Kyo and Kiki turned two shades of pink.
“No! We just met yesterday,” said Kyo. `God, why won't these people shut up,' he added to himself.
“Have you tried taking her down the Bone Eater's Well?” asked Sango. She sat next to Miroku. Kirara trotted over to Sango and curled up on her lap.
“Not yet,” said Kagome. “We figured we'd get your input about her first.”
“Our input?” questioned Miroku.
“Yeah. We've been through a lot in our lives, we figured you three would want to know what was going on,” said Kagome.
“I think we should go to the well. See if she can get through,” said Shippo. “It might work.” He sat down on the grass. Everyone else did the same. Sango stood and motioned everyone inside where it was more comfortable. They got up and followed her.
“But what if the well doesn't work?” asked Kiki. She had a very worried look on her face.
“Everyone I love will be worried sick over me.”
“If the well doesn't work, I'll go see if they have filed a missing persons report or something,” said Kagome. She put her hand over Kiki's. “Don't worry. We'll find a way to get you home.”
“But what will you say when you find out anything? They won't believe you when you tell them I was here,” said Kiki.
“I…I don't know,” admitted Kagome. She looked at the others for ideas, anything. They each didn't know what to do with this predicament they seemed to be in.
“Let's just try the Bone Eater's Well. If it work, great, but if it doesn't, then we'll figure something out,” said Sango. “We should go to Kaede's Village as soon as possible. The Well is near there.”
