Thanks for reviewing!

In reply to Sara1664's review - you're right I did sort of rush into it. I'll try to be more explanatory about the scenery and such:)

"Kagome, have you seen Miroku?" asked Sango anxiously. "I haven't seen him or InuYasha all day…"

She and Kagome had set up camp near the edge of the forest. The sun was beginning to set and Sango was getting worried about the whereabouts or her friends.

"Now that you mention it, no, I haven't. I wonder where they could be." Replied Kagome, stirring the ramen they would be having for dinner.

"Do you think we should go look for them?" asked Sango.

"Give them a bit more time, I'm sure they're fine. If they're not back by dark, then we'll go look for them."

"I sure hope you're right, Kagome, because I have a very bad feeling about all this."

"You stupid monk! This is all you're fault, you know that?!" yelled InuYasha, kicking the park bench Miroku was sitting on.

Miroku and InuYasha had spent most of the day exploring the surroundings in case they were to come across Kagome's shrine. Miroku had suggested they spend the night in the city' park, which was filled with large trees that would offer a perfect hiding place for a half-demon equipped with a sword and a monk with a holy staff.

But as time went by, InuYasha kept getting more and more irritated. He was beginning to think they'd never get out of there.

"InuYasha, the way I recall it, it was your idea to come here." sighed Miroku, tired of InuYasha's accusations.

"Yeah well you should have stopped me!" InuYasha's temper had been fierce ever since they'd realized they didn't know where the well was.

"Listen, InuYasha, your yelling isn't getting us anywhere, it is merely doing the contrary. Now shut up for a minute and let me think, will you?!"

"Feh."

InuYasha crossed his legs beneath him up on the bench and closed his eyes stubbornly.

"Thank you." said Miroku.

After long minutes of silence, Miroku considered something he hadn't thought of before.

"InuYasha, you have a very good sense of smell. Can't you smell our way back?" He asked.

"What do you think I am, some dog? I can't just "smell our way back", monk. There are far too many smells around here to distinguish one in particular."

Miroku sighed. He wished InuYasha would be a bit more cooperative, and polite for that matter.

"Could you please stop that, InuYasha?" he asked, sighing yet again.

"Stop what?" InuYasha shot back.

"Stop yelling at me like that and rejecting all my ideas without even making an allowance for them?"

"No, I can't! And you know what? I've had just about enough of you for one day. I'm going." InuYasha got up and slowly began walking away, arms crossed determinedly.

Miroku got up to his feet and followed him, equally annoyed now.

"You can't just leave, InuYasha! We have to stick together if we want to get out of here!"

"Come find me later then." InuYasha suddenly picked up speed and in seconds, he was out of sight.

"INUYASHA!" yelled Miroku at the top of his lungs. "Get back here!"

He began to run after InuYasha, amazing anybody he happened to pass next to with his speed. He soon found that InuYasha had just gone to the other side of the park and sat next to a large bush. When he realized that Miroku was coming, he quickly got up but Miroku tackled him, pinning him to the ground with his staff firmly pressed against his forehead.

"Listen, InuYasha. We are in Tokyo, in Kagome's era, not in ours. We are very unfamiliar with the place. In order to get out of here, whether either of us likes it or not, we have to stay together and figure out a way. Understood?" said Miroku slowly, as if to make sure InuYasha took in every word.

"Whatever." InuYasha said bitterly.

Miroku couldn't help but smile; he knew he was right, and InuYasha knew that as well, even though he wouldn't ever admit it.

"Now would you mind getting off of me?!" shouted InuYasha, throwing Miroku into the bush, which, he soon found out, was covered in thorns…

Meanwhile, in Feudal Japan, Kagome and Shippo (who had finally awoken from his nap) had both joined Sango in her worry.

"Oh, where could they be? It's dark and there's no sign of them anywhere!" said Shippo as he got back from flying over the neighboring areas.

"I wish I knew, Shippo," said Kagome sadly. "We should really go look for them now, what do you think Sango?"

"I agree with you Kagome. But where can we start looking?" Sango replied.

"I don't know. They could be anywhere, hunting demons maybe."

"Let's think here. Did Miroku or InuYasha mention anything at all that could indicate where they are right now?"

Everyone thought for a moment, and Kagome suddenly thought of the conversation she and InuYasha had had that morning.

"What's it like in your era?" InuYasha had asked.

"A lot more modern. Technology is more advanced there than here. We have cars, and large skyscrapers…" had said Kagome.

She had then gone on to explaining what cars and skyscrapers were.

"I know where they are!" Kagome suddenly said.

"Where's that?" asked Shippo curiously.

"There in modern Tokyo! InuYasha was talking about it this morning. He and Miroku must have gone exploring it. Oh, why didn't they ask me to come along? They'll probably get lost or something." explained Kagome.

"Well in that case we should go get them immediately, before they cause any damage." said Sango decisively.

The three of them packed a few things, but in the end they resulted in leaving Shippo and Kirara behind, in fear that InuYasha and Miroku may not be in modern Tokyo at all, but still in the Feudal era, and decided to come back to camp.

Kagome and Sango ran to the Bone-Eater's well and jumped inside. They then climbed out in Tokyo, greeted by the faint glow of a dimly lit lantern.

"Should we go tell your mom and grandpa we're here?" asked Sango, who was still taking in how different this place was from Feudal Japan.

"No, let's not bother them. Let's go look for InuYasha and Miroku right away." answered Kagome.

"Don't you think I should change first? My clothes are a little bit old fashioned compared to everybody else's here."

"Yeah, I guess you should. I hope the boys thought to do the same…"

**************************************************************** ********

"I can't sleep in this stupid park. There are blinding lights everywhere." complained InuYasha for the fifth time in five minutes.

"Do you want to go look for the well again then?" asked Miroku sleepily.

"I guess, since we've got nothing better to do."

They climbed down from the maple tree they had been hiding in and headed for the park's entrance. It was at that moment Miroku saw her; quite possibly the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, out of all the girls in Feudal Japan and there.

She had long black hair, tied back with a white ribbon. She had large almond colored eyes and was wearing a long black dress. For once in his entire life though, Miroku didn't think of anything perverted as he usually would have in this type of situation. He simply thought of how he should approach her and what he should say to her.

He steered away from InuYasha and towards the girl.

"Where are you going?" asked InuYasha, eyebrow raised. Then he also saw the girl. "Oh God Miroku, try to control yourself. Why do you have to fall for every pretty girl you see?"

Miroku either pretended or hadn't heard InuYasha at all. He was too distracted.

"Hi," he said happily to the girl who hadn't noticed him yet. She turned around, a little surprised.

"Oh, hi." she said. After a long pause, she added, "Do I know you?"

"Not yet." said Miroku. "My name's Miroku. What's yours?"

Miroku was surprised; he felt a bit more nervous than he usually would talking to a girl.

"My name's Ebony. Pleased to meet you, Miroku. Are you from here?" asked the girl, Ebony.

"Uh, I guess you could say that." How could he possibly explain he was from the past? She'd think he was crazy.

"You probably have an easier time finding your way than me. I'm from America. I just moved recently." explained Ebony.

"I could help you find you way," offered Miroku.

"Oh you could, eh wise guy?" InuYasha suddenly said. "Then you'll have no problem telling me where the well is, will you?"

Ebony was quite taken aback by this odd boy with the long silver hair and the fruit hat.

"Who's this, Miroku? What well is he talking about?" she asked uncertainly.

"This is InuYasha. He's delirious, he doesn't know what he's talking about." said Miroku as if it was nothing. "I mean look at how he dressed this morning."

"What?! What are you saying Miroku?! You know very well what I'm talking about!" yelled InuYasha.

Miroku used this opportunity to give InuYasha a good whack with his staff. "Can't you see I'm busy here, InuYasha?"

"Fine, you stupid monk! And you," he turned to Ebony. "Don't be fooled. Miroku here isn't the gentleman you think he is!"

That being said, he walked back to his maple tree, quite aggravated. If he ever wanted to get back to the Feudal era, he'd have to figure a way to do it himself.
