Last Chapter:

Oh. My. God.

There was not a building for miles.

I was also not in California. Nowhere close.

How did I know?

California did not have the distinct outline of Mount Fuji looming in the distance.

1st person POV.

Oh Hell no.

Don't freak out, don't freak out, don't freak out...

I felt myself begin to shake, and not wanting to fall to my death, I laid upon the branch I was sitting on and wrapped my arms tightly around it, not caring if I got splinters or scrapes from the rough bark.

'Who am I kidding? I have the absolute RIGHT to freak out. I'm in freakin' Japan with no damn idea of how I got here!' I whimpered softly into the silence of night, trying to not make too much noise or I could attract a predator and I'm sure I was quite vulnerable at the moment. 'But isn't Japan the technology capital of the world...? Why is there not a single building...?' I stared helplessly towards the large, well-known mountain, feeling hot tears overwhelm my natural inclination to hold back such displays of emotion.

Oh god. My mom was going to kill me.

Taking deep breathes, I tried to calm my shaking enough to be able to climb back down to my little hideout without endangering myself, and curled into the space with another soft whimper, the fetal position seeming very comforting at that particular moment.

As usual for me in a stressful situation, I grasped my ear-buds, placed them in my ears, and began playing the most calming thing I knew that was on my playlist: The OST for the game Child of Light, almost two hours long. I blocked everything else but that out, and could feel the magic working as my tense muscles began to relax, and my eyes began to drift shut as I started to fall asleep.

'Perhaps when I wake back up, this all will be just a very elaborate dream...'

Yeah, no. With my luck, that was more unlikely than the situation I was already in.

3rd person POV- Elsewhere

On the outskirts of a village not too far from our heroine, a male clothed in a deep red haori and hakama, long silver hair, puppy like ears on his head, and amber eyes watched the darkened forest not far away, his normally grumpy countenance looking unusually serious as he stared into the darkness.

"Inuyasha?" The hanyou male looked back at the sound of his name and blinked, his expression softening a bit upon the sight of a ningen girl with raven black hair, kind grey eyes and wearing an out of place and modern white and green school uniform coming to stand beside him.

"Are you... Alright?"

"Kagome..." His gaze lingered on her for a moment longer before he turned to look back into the forest. "I sensed something earlier today before you came back through the well... It didn't feel like Naraku, but I don't trust it."

"Perhaps Naraku was behind it. That might explain your unease."

"Maybe." He conceded gruffly, slipping his hands into his sleeves before he glanced back at her. "We'll check in the morning. The monk, Shippo and Sango have all headed to sleep; You should too. We aren't stopping for too many breaks this time. There might be a Shikon Shard involved." Kagome only gave a knowing smile in response before nodding.

"Alright Inuyasha... Goodnight."

"Night Kagome."

3rd person POV- Somewhere else

"Now this is strange..." Menacing violet eyes belonging to a man with a cunning smirk and long pitch black hair looked through opening of the sliding doors of the practically empty mansion much farther away from our heroine, the eerie silence adding to the unease one would feel if brave enough to approach the property, if they were unlucky enough to find it in the first place.

"What could that have possibly been...?" Seeming to stare for no reason into the darkness, his eyes narrowed suddenly before he turned his gaze to look into the recesses of the mansion. "Kanna." Silence reigned for a bit before a completely white child with dark, dull eyes appeared as if summoned, holding a mirror in her grasp.

"Show me the source of the newest disturbance." She gave a barely-there tilt of her head, and soon the glass of the mirror swirled and switched to an image of a teenage girl in clothes similar to what he had seen on Inuyasha's infuriating wench once, curled in a crook of a tree, sleeping.

"What is she...?"

"Ningen."

"Where did she come from?"

"That is unknown, Naraku. She suddenly appeared this day."

"By what means?"

"Unknown." Naraku's eyes narrowed further at the liability of this situation; Unknown things could become a pain later on down the line, just like the miko Kagome had become.

"Inform Kagura to... Dispose of this girl." Kanna turned and walked back into the insides of the palace without another word, and Naraku disregarded the subject, putting it out of his mind.

'I doubt a powerless ningen wench could give Kagura a tough time...'

1st person POV- Back to our heroine..

I heard the twittering birds and smelled the fresh, crisp air before I had even opened my eyes, and with a depressed feeling, I conceded defeat as I felt the first rays of the sun shine upon my face.

'Yep, I knew I was hoping too much by wishing this was just a dream...'

I wallowed in my own misery for a couple of long minutes, before sighing, realizing that I was probably going to do this a lot in the foreseeable future. Crawling out carefully onto the nearest branch and slinging my bag over my head and across my chest, I climbed back up to the top of the tree where I had my first glimpse of the beginning of the decomposition of my sanity.

"Okay, so that is definitely Mount Fuji in the distance... But there is not one single building as far as the eye can see. Only trees." I frowned and murmured to myself as I looked out over the endless green canopy that spread in each direction except in certain places where there seemed to be groups of wooden huts clustered together. "So in this very, very unlikely situation, there are only four likely explanations."

1: I had somehow traveled simultaneously to a whole other continent and back in time,

2: I traveled to an alternate universe,

3: I was in a coma back home, and dreaming of this place,

Or 4: I had finally lost my already dubious sanity.

'...3 and 4 are the most probable.'

With my parched throat making me realize time was not about to stop for me to have a much needed break-down, I searched the view again, this time for a water source.

It took a few minutes, but I spotted a river which looked to be a mile or so west, and a village also seemed to be east of that.

With a destination in mind, I began descending the tree, and once making it to the ground, I set off in the direction of the river, grabbing one of my granola bars and beginning to munch on it as I also looked for plants that were edible. Hopefully I would reach it before the sun was too high in the sky.

I tried to keep my mind off the fact that I had no idea what lurked around in this particular forest that could make a meal out of me.

Two Hours Later

You know how they say hiking adds years to your life?

Well, tell that to my aching legs and parched throat. This shit was for the birds. I could do practically anything else, but prolonged walking was definitely not my thing.

"Man, I really hope I reach the river soon... Dying of dehydration was not how I imagined to go in life..." I groaned, rubbing my throat like it was going to help soothe the itchy dryness inside.

Peppy music wasn't the best for me as the situation was weighing heavily on my mind at the moment, so I was listening to my more calm and depressing sounding music as I walked amongst Mother Nature.

'My family has probably flipped a shit by now... If I HAVE gone into a coma, they'd be losing their mind... But if I actually disappeared without a sound, they might have thought I ran away or something... But I'd never do that. They were good to me...' My friends were going to kill me if I woke up/found my way back home. I can just hear their worried cussing already...

With my mental defense mechanism determined to make light of the conversation, I started to mumble to myself. "If it wasn't for the fact that I knew this land held Mount Fuji and it's obviously around late spring, I'd think this place was Narnia. Too bad, I'm sure Aslan would have helped me get back home." I clicked my tongue as I watched some crows fly high above in the sky. "Maybe I'm in the Fire Country?" I froze and my eyes widened as that thought came to me. "Does that mean Konohagakure is nearby?! Holy shit, this is awesome! I can hang around a bit until the Hokage is able to find a reverse summoning jutsu and send me back home!" With that happier thought, I continued to move along with a skip in my step. Depending on the time period, I was delighted to either meet the blonde ball of sunshine known as Naruto, and/or hear of Orochimaru's demise.

Don't look at me that way. I was so happy to see that snake bastard die, even if it was by the youngest Uchiha who had lost so much of my respect.

I always had one ear-bud out of my ear whenever I wasn't in familiar surroundings and listening to music at the same time, so when I heard the sound of rushing water accompanied with the distinct smell of water, I perked up and rushed onward with a squeal of glee. "Water! OMG, Water!"

Breaking through the trees, I nearly cried upon seeing that river, but before getting too excited, I knew I had to check to see if it was safe to drink, otherwise painful infection was how I was going to die.

I thought things were looking up.

That is until, I heard a shout, and looked to the left of me to see a group of six men break out through the trees also, holding spears, swords, and sickles in their hands.

I automatically froze in shock, and when one of the men noticed me, I cursed under my breath.

'Really Life? Really? Must you tell me constantly to go fuck myself?' I thought in irritation as the man called to his companions, and they all turned to look at me.

One man began to shout at me, and my brow furrowed in confusion. Why, do you ask?

I couldn't understand a damn thing he was saying.

They stepped towards me threateningly and seemed to repeat the man's words, and I raised my hands to show I was not a threat.

"I'm sorry, very sorry, I can't understand a thing you're saying..." They stopped, looking confused as well at my words, and I realized if I could sweat drop at that moment, I would have.

'Duh Lily. This is Japan. Most people don't understand English at all here.' And while I was self-teaching myself Japanese, I only knew a few words and was not anywhere close to fluent in it. So the language barrier was practically insurmountable at this particular time.

Well shit. How was I going to ask the Hokage for help?

I frowned as I eyed the males' clothing. Though people in the Naruto world don't wear clothes like that... They looked like regular Japanese peasants, no offense to them or anything...

I shook my head as I began paying attention once more, and my eyes widened to see them advancing with weapons raised. Oh shit.

"Hold up, let's not get testy here..." I said nervously, then my eyes widened further as one man shouted a single word, pointing at me.

"Youkai!"

Oh.

Oh.

I knew enough Japanese to know what that word meant.

Demon.

They thought that I was a demon.

'I. Am. So. Fucked.'

They see me trolling~

They hating~!

My first cliffy! XD Don't hate me, I gotta create SOME suspense to keep you coming back right? Tell me what you think!

R&R! Ja ne!

Olivia-hime~
