Passport to Tokyo

Chapter Two: Now watch, as we further confuse the hanyou from the past with technology.
"Wait...how did you know my name," he said.
"Wh-, it's..." I stammered. That's when I looked around and noticed the amount of people in the park.
"It's gonna take me a while to explain and you, dog-boy, stick out like a sore thumb. We need to get
somewhere a little less inhabited. Follow me."
"Why should I follow you anywhere, wench? He fumed.
That when I gave him my most serious look. "Inuyasha, right now, I am the only one who can, or will
help you get back home. I know you have a really hard time trusting people, but you just have to trust
me now. You have my word that I will do everything in my power to help you, but if we don't get you
inside and into some modern clothes there's gonna be trouble. Just follow me back to my apartment."
He stood there and just stared at me skeptically, sizing me up.
"I have ramen there...," I said hopefully, now knowing that the delicious instant noodles were as much of
a weakness for him as they were for me. He still had that suspicious look in his eyes, when his stomach
let out a loud, drawn out rumble. That's when I knew I had him. I turned around and started walking
back towards my apartment and he followed like a good little doggie. Suddenly I stopped and tossed
him the red sox hat I was wearing.
"You should wear this from now on too." He grumbled a bit, but still complied, as we resumed the trek
back to my building.
When we entered my apartment, my lazy dog jumped down from his chair and promptly tackled
Inuyasha to the ground all licks and tail wagging. This behavior usually throws people off, I mean come
on, being mauled by an 80 pound pit-bull, even if it's just to receive puppy hugs and kisses, is a little
discerning at the best of times. Inuyasha wasn't fazed in the slightest and let out a low woof that had
Dio steeping back and calking his head in the most adorably confused way. With another low woof and a
look from Inuyasha, he had my dog lying at his feet with his tongue dangling.
"Wow," I stated. "He's usually still going nuts over new people; I've never seen his calm down so quickly.
That was pretty amazing!"
"Keh," he snorted. "Now you have some questions to answer and I'm not going anywhere else with you
until you answer me.
"Ok, Inuyasha. What do you want to know first?"
"How do you know my name, and where the hell am I?"
"Well, I know everything about you..."
He just looked at me, dumfounded.
"Let me explain..." I thought for a moment and tried to figure out the best way to tell him without
confusing him any more than he had to be. "You see, sometimes when I put my hands on people or
things, I get a flash. Think of it as a spiritual power. The flash sometimes shows me something that
happened to it in the past. When I put my hands on you to push you off of me in the park, I got one of
those flashes. Only with you, I saw everything. Everything. I saw your whole life. So, in a way, I know you
better than anyone. I also know how important it is to get you back home so you can protect your
friends and finish your quest. I'm gonna help you. I just have to figure out how. Because you are really,
really far from home."
"How far," he asked, still soaking everything I said in.
"Let's put it this way, if you got any further away from home, you would be getting closer," I said.
He sank down onto my couch; my dog followed and put his chin on Inuyasha's knee. I couldn't tell how
he was taking this information with his bangs covering his eyes. I decided to give him a moment to
gather his wits as I got 3 cups of instant ramen out of the pantry and set some water to boil. He didn't
look up until I stood before him holding out two cups of ramen and a fork. His eyes lit up a little at the
gesture, until he looked down at the fork.
"What the hell is this thing," he asked.
"Uh, it's a fork," I replied. "We use those here in my country instead of chopsticks. Here watch..."
I shoved the fork down into my own cup of Ramen and gave it a twirl, then lifted the noodles to my
mouth, slurping them up. He looked down at the fork again and copied my movements.
"This thing is great!" he exclaimed as he dug in further. In the blink of an eye, the first cup was done and
he started in on the second. He looked up at me with a mouthful of noodles and something passed
between us. In that moment we were sharing more than just the Ramen.
"So how are we going to do this." He said between slurps.
"Well, it's not going to be easy. I don't know if we can pull it off at all actually. We need to somehow get
you on an international flight back to Japan..."
As soon as I said that he spit out the mouthful of ramen he was currently inhaling. "What do you mean
back to Japan? "he asked.
That's when I knew that I needed to show him a map, because he wasn't comprehending the sheer
distance that he was facing. So I grabbed my laptop and brought it over to the table, pulling up a world
map for him to see.
"Ok, Inuyasha. This is Japan here," I said as I zoomed in. "Right here is Tokyo, which is where Kagome is.
Although, we really have no idea of where exactly she is and Tokyo is really big. See this here? This is the
map scale. It shows how many miles these spaces represent. So, an inch on this map is roughly 100
miles, and one mile is about two and a half ri." That's when I zoomed the map out all the way. His eyes
widened when I pointed to a spot that roughly corresponded to where we were now in North America.
"This is where we are now. So you see the problem, right?"
He just nodded his head. "What we need to do first is find out where the shrine is so we can get a phone
number for it. Maybe Kagome will have some ideas as to how to get you back." So pulled up Google on
my computer and typed in "Higurashi Shrine Tokyo" which pulled up a bunch of festival info, but no
contact information. So then I searched for "Shinto Shrines Tokyo" but all I could find was info about the
Meiji Shrine and the Yasukuni Shrine. Nothing on the Higurashi shrine, though. While I did my searches I
explained to Inuyasha what I was doing so he wouldn't feel left out. "Recognize any of these places?" I
asked as I pulled up a picture of the Yasukuni Shrine.
"Nope," he said.
"Do you think any of the priests at these shrines would know Kagome's Ji-chan?"
"Probably, that old geezer is always visiting other local shrines," he answered.
"Good. Let's try Yasukuni then." I said as I pulled up the shrines official website. "And this is exactly why
google rocks, Inuyasha!" He just looked at me, completely confused as I pulled out my cell phone and
dialed the number to the shrine.
"Beep beep beep, your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please call your carrier to unlock
international calling," the recording told me.
"Shit, I said... well I guess Skype it is." I pulled up Skype and logged in. "Now just let me do the talking," I
said to him as I entered the number.
"Moshi moshi, Yasukuni Shrine, how may I direct your call," came the voice of a young woman.
"Hi, I was actually calling to see if you had a contact phone number for the Higurashi Shrine," I replied.
"Please hold," the voice answered.
After about five minutes on hold the voice of an older gentleman picked up.
"Moshi moshi, is this the young lady requesting a phone number for the Higurashi Shrine?"
"Yes please," I answered.
"Ok, give me one moment, here..." he said as I heard papers shuffling in the background. "Alright, is the
number to the shrine office the one you need?"
"Yes, sir. And I will be calling internationally, so if you could please include the area code," I asked.
"Alright, dear, the number is 011+81+3+8462-57894. Did you get all that, young lady?"
"Yes, Kennushi-san, arrigatou." I said as I hung up.
I clapped my hands in excitement and turned to Inuyasha. The poor thing looked completely lost. "See
this," I said as I held up the paper with the shrines phone number, "It's Kagome's phone number. I'm
gonna assume she's still in the feudal era, freaking out that your gone, but we can at least give someone
the message to have her call us when she goes back to her house."
"You mean I will be able to talk to Kagome?" he asked hopefully.
"Yeah, don't worry, dog boy. Were gonna figure this out and get you home.
"Why are you helping me?" You don't stand to gain anything, "he asked. "I don't even know your name,
wench"
"Because, if I got stuck in a situation like this, I would hope that there would be someone willing to help
me," I said. "And the names Taylor, not wench.
