“So, we're going on another adventure like how we used to?” asked Shippo, happily. Inside, he was just like before. He just got a little taller on the outside.

“Just like last time, but now we have Kyo and Kiki with us,” said Kagome. She laughed at her friend's kid spirit.

“Let's just hope we don't run into another enemy…let's hope this isn't caused by a new enemy,” said InuYasha. He looked at Kagome and Kyo and worry filled his eyes. If there was a new enemy, they might get hurt. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if something happened to them. Of course, he was worried about the others, but he loved Kagome and Kyo.

“InuYasha,” he was snapped out of his daze by Kagome's soft voice. He looked up at her, then around the room. He was the only one in there.

“Where is everyone?” asked InuYasha.

“We're all waiting outside,” said Kagome. Without warning she was pulled into a loving hug by InuYasha. He refused to let go. “InuYasha…” she whispered.

“What if a new enemy did this? Or even an old enemy wanting revenge? I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you or to Kyo,” whispered InuYasha. He brought Kagome down gently to his lap, still holding her tightly, but still gently.

“Let's hope it's not anything like that,” whispered Kagome. She looked up to meet his golden eyes. “I'll always be with you, no matter what.” She kissed him.

“Yo! Are we or are we not going to go!” yelled Kyo from outside. “Everyone's waiting for you two!”

“We're coming!” called Kagome. InuYasha released Kagome and they walked out of the house.

The trek to the Bone Eater's Well was going to be a long one. Miroku said it was going to take at least three or four days. Kiki didn't mind. She liked sleeping underneath the stars. They were much prettier here then back at home. She wondered if she would be able to come back whenever she wanted. She knew they would come to her at home, but she liked it in the Feudal Era.

At night, Miroku, InuYasha, Shippo, and Kyo took turns at watch while the girls slept. Kiki found if peaceful to sleep underneath the stars, although the ground was a little uncomfortable. She was thankful that a good person had found her before an evil demon did.

“So, what is this Bone Eater's Well? What does it do?” Kiki asked Kagome on the second day.

They were currently walking on a path through an open plane. Kiki examined the areas as they walked through the different places.

“It's a really old well that me, Kyo, and InuYasha use to get to our world and back here. It leads to the shrine my family owns,” answered Kagome. She looked at Kiki; a glimmer of sorrow shimmered in her eyes. “You miss home, don't you?”

Kiki looked up at Kagome. “Yeah, a little. I mean, I love it here…but I missed my family and my other friends.” Kiki lowered her head and stared at the ground.

“I understand. Don't worry, we'll get you back home. I promise,” smiled Kagome. Kiki smiled and stared at the orange colored sky. Night was coming soon and tomorrow they'd reach the well. Kiki hoped she would be able to go back home.

Kiki slept poorly that night. She dreamt about the well not working and being stuck in the Feudal Era. She rolled from side to side, muttering in her sleep about her home. Kyo looked over at her on his watch. He crawled over to her and shook her lightly. She jumped up and hugged him, still asleep.

“Oh, Riku, I've missed you so much!” Kiki said in a sleep-filled voice. She was sleep talking, unaware of what she was doing.

Kyo sat on his haunches, stunned. He didn't know what to do, but he did wonder who this Riku was. “Umm…Kiki?” He could feel his face turn a dark shade of pink. “Hey, wake up, you're dreaming.” He nudged her shoulder.

Kiki's eyes flew open. That wasn't her boyfriend's voice. She immediately felt her face burn when she saw whom it was. “Oh, Kyo, it's you! I am so sorry. I-I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry.”

“I-It's ok, don't worry about it,” Kyo talked quietly so he wouldn't wake the others. “You really miss home, huh?” He sat down, with his legs crossed, next to Kiki.

Kiki nodded. “I know it's only been a couple days, but I know they are worried sick over me and I can't tell them `I'm ok, don't worry'.” Silent tears started to fall from her eyes, but before she could wipe them away, a clawed hand gently and carefully did before her. “I'm sorry, crying like this. Now I really feel stupid.”

“It's ok,” muttered Kyo. The next thing he knew he was doing was bringing her into a comforting hug. “It's ok to be sad. There's nothing to be ashamed of. I don't mind.”

`Oh, he's so warm,' thought Kiki. She felt her heart speed up and hoped that he didn't feel it too. `I never felt this way before with Riku, but I shouldn't be doing this. I have a boyfriend.' Despite what her mind was telling her, she hugged him and cried into his chest. Within a couple minutes, Kiki cried herself to sleep in Kyo's arms. He too found himself drifting off, but kept awake. If he were to fall asleep where he was…what would he tell his parents in the morning? Instead, he slowly and gently put her back on the ground and went back to where he was before he woke her up.

The next morning, Kiki woke up with the sun. She looked around and saw Kagome was up too.

Kagome's back was to Kiki; she seemed to be cooking. The smell of fish was coming from a makeshift fire.

Kiki walked over to Kagome and sat down. “I did something extremely embarrassing last night.” She murmured, not wanting anyone else to hear. Kagome motioned for her to go on. “I guess I was mumbling about my home in my sleep. Kyo tried to get me to wake up and I guess I thought it was Riku, my boyfriend, so I hugged him, still half asleep. Kyo said something and I woke up! We talked for a bit, then he hugged me because I was crying. I cried myself to sleep in his arms.” Kiki took a deep breath. “But the ting is, I enjoyed being with him. I'm in love with Riku though, but I enjoy being in Kyo's arms! Oh, I'm so confused!”

“Ok, first, breathe,” said Kagome, smiling. Kiki took a deep breath. “Now, there's not much you can do, but you say you're in love with Riku?” Kiki nodded, “and you say you enjoy being in Kyo's arms?”

“Yes, I really do! He's so warm. I've never felt that way with Riku,” said Kiki. “Stop smiling! This is serious.”

“I'm sorry. I can't help it,” smiled Kagome. She started to giggle softly. She took a deep breath to calm down a little, although, it didn't help much. It was just so cute, seeing Kiki falling for her son and she not even realizing it. She decided she wasn't going to tell Kiki that she was falling for Kyo. Instead, she'd let her find out for herself.

“I'm not sure what to do. What do I do when he wakes up? Pretend nothing happened? Or avoid him entirely? Or pretend I don't remember?” asked Kiki. “I'm so confused…” Kiki accepted the food with a smile.

“Well, you can't really avoid him since you're traveling together,” stated Kagome. “Pretending might not help. You should just go on like you would on any other day. I'm not saying to pretend that it didn't happened. Just that it doesn't bother you that it happened.” Kagome served up six more dishes for herself and the others.

“I guess I have no other choice,” muttered Kiki. She ate the rest of her food in silence. She wished she was back home, in modern Tokyo with her other friends and her family and Riku. Kagome patted Kiki's knee. Kiki smiled at her.
