Yuu relaxed when the Black Agumon, apparently called Lucia, mentioned Taiki and revealed the cloaked boy to be named Jake. "Sorry, I got the wrong idea. I've heard about you from Crystal, but I don't think we've ever been properly introduced."
"Still, if it was a digimon that started that fire, then they must be deliberately trying to interfere with our investigation," Yuu went on after a slight. "So you might be right about us needing some extra help."
"In that case maybe we should head home to try to make some calls," Damemon suggested as the screen lit up on Yuu's Xros Loader.
"Times like this I really feel like I should have invested in a cellphone by now," Yuu responded with a slight sweatdrop.
*~*~*~*~*
Kagome's declaration of "Osuwari!" was punctuated by the loud crashing sound that accompanied Inuyasha's face impacting with the ground at his feet. No doubt, he'd be feeling that one. "Inuyasha, you shouldn't say things like that."
"We've gone over this already," Crystal started as she crouched down next to where her brother had fallen over. "I told you I was going to be bringing Taiki with me so I could introduce him to you without you having to meet him without me. If Sesshoumaru-nii-sama does decide to make an appearance while we're here, then that's just something we'll have to work on once he actually shows up."
She waited to let that sink in before adding rather offhandedly, "I didn't bring any of my martial artist friends with me from Nerima so you won't be seeing them, although I can't make any promises about Ryouga. With his sense of direction, I can't really put it past him."
"That's pretty brave of you," Shippo just couldn't keep his mouth shut. "I mean, do you think Sesshoumaru will really be okay with the idea of you having a human boyfriend, let alone a guy from the modern era?"
"Considering he's been pretty much courting Rin since she was like eleven I don't think he's really got any right to object to my preferences," Crystal answered in response. "As far as I'm concerned, this visit is just a courtesy call so Sesshoumaru-nii-sama has just as much right to meet Taiki as Inuyasha does."
"He won't really try to kill me, will he?" Taiki eventually managed to ask with a nervous sweatdrop.
"Don't worry," Kagome smiled reassuringly before turning a glare on Inuyasha. "Sesshoumaru isn't that much of a jerk."
"And if he does do anything violent, I'll be vouching for you," Crystal added. I doubt Sesshoumaru will find any real fault with Taiki. And we managed to ditch Tagiru so hopefully we won't have any other problems to worry about either.
*~*~*~*~*
"I guess it wouldn't hurt for us to tag along," Ryouma replied with a slight shrug as Bakumon ventured over to accept Blaze's payment and hand out any necessary change.
"A pleasure doing business with you," Bakumon bowed politely before once again disappearing back behind the counter.
"I might pay a visit to the university myself once I clock out of here," Razuko commented as he watched the others getting ready to leave. "Just try not to draw too much attention to yourselves, okay?"
"That won't be a problem," Ryouma assured him. "I'm pretty good about being subtle."
"It's not you I'm worried about," Razuko responded. He looked meaningfully at Blaze. "Don't do anything too flashy out there, got it?"

Jake nodded lightly, while rubbing his chin "unfortunately Shiro's having to keep an eye on Tagiru at Crystal's behest, and i haven't seen hide nor hair of Roveth, sogetting ahold of him's going to be hard." he pondered over things, before smiling "ah well.. anyway, my name's Jake Yoshimatto.. i also go by Jake Logan, due to that being my birth name before i was kidnapped by Daemon and abandoned to get adopted by the Yoshimatto Family." he sighed, and took out a couple of crest and tags, tossing them up and down "i'm a Chosen child much like the ones you met during the Quartzmon battle, closest to Taichi's version of things, though i have a Xros Loader now so in essence i'm also a Digimon Hunter, my main partners are Lucia, a Black Agumon, Lemina, a Betamon, and Black V-Mon." he said, smiling lightly pleasure to always meet friends of Crystal and all." he said while thinking to himself ~only people i know on hand who might help is Razuko if he's not busy at his little restraunt thingy, and probably Blaze.. but i -really- don't want to include him on this... do i?~
MEANWHILE...
Inu-Yasha had immediately got send crashing to the ground from the Osuwari, grunting in understanding while pulling his head up to glare at Kagome, before speaking with a slightly more feral voice "damnit.. i was just trying to make a joke, is that so wrong anymore?" he grumbled a bit, and got back up after the spell wore off as he dusted himself off and resheathed Tessaiga before sighing "as for Sesshoumaru, last i heard he wasn't in the area, so if he does show up it might be after you and your boyfriend probably head back to the modern era." he said, smirking "then again.. from what i see.. i think dad would approve of a guy like him." of course he then looked to Shippou, and proceeded to have another friendly introduction. Fist? meet Shippou's head. **WHAM** "stop trying to freak the kid out Shippou, i at least was joking about it." of course he glared to the fox demon frowning lightly.

"Yuu Amano," Yuu introduced himself. "My partner is Damemon, but I also have Super Starmon and Rook Chessmon for use in Digi Xrossing if I need them. Anyway, I should be able to get a hold of Akari-san once I get to a phone," he continued. "She seems to know how to get a hold of Zenjirou-san in case we need more backup. If you don't have anywhere else you need to go right now, you're welcome to come along with me."
He could also probably get in touch with Airu, but he really didn't want to have to call her. Not that he actually disliked her, but in his experience having her along usually made things worse, not better. And he usually got hurt trying to protect her from her mistakes so there was really no sense in dragging her along unless they seriously needed the extra muscle from Cho-Hakkaimon.
*~*~*~*~*
Shippo was instantly reduced to sobbing and cradling his head to nurse the lump that formed when Inuyasha pounded him.
It was pretty amazing how casually the word 'boyfriend' was being tossed around, although it wasn't really unexpected with this crowd. Still, even if it was technically accurate, Crystal had a tough time actually thinking about it in those terms. Then again, Taiki was more or less the same way. So, even though they at least acknowledged their increasingly obvious relationship, neither of them had felt any need to really draw much attention to it. Not under normal circumstances, at least. These circumstances were pretty far from normal, even for them.
Of course, Taiki wasn't really too fazed by Inuyasha since he'd spent plenty of time with Shiro so the hanyou's appearance wasn't particularly shocking for him. And, having been to the digital world, being in the Feudal era wasn't too much of a shock for him either.
"I guess this really won't be all that different from going camping after all," he eventually concluded.
"As long as we don't get attacked by any vicious youkai, it should be exactly like going camping," Crystal agreed. And really, with someone as strong as Inuyasha staying in Kaede's village pretty much full-time, bandits and lesser youkai would have to be pretty foolish to even think about raiding the village.
"Anyway, we should start heading back to the village," Kagome suggested. "I'm sure Miroku and Sango-chan will want to be included in this little reunion too."
"So, how many kids they got now?" Crystal had to ask.
"Just the three so far," Shippo finally recovered from the pounding he had received from Inuyasha. "But with how those two are you never know when more will be on the way."

Jake nodded, thinking over things in general lightly "well, let's see who we can gather for this, given i think this is going to get ugly if it's just the two of us." he then gave off his goodbyes, and headed off to get back to his apartment, thankfully separate from Crystal, Shiro and Roveth's, mainly because he wanted the space, and because he was next door anyway, either way he spent the rest of the day trying to get ahold of Roveth and Shiro, Shiro was a no-go since he found out the baka left his cell phone back in his room, and Roveth said he'd join in, but only to help, given he's doubting there'd be any interesting digimon for him to catch.
MEANWHILE...
Inu-Yasha snorted lightly "wish we had something to drown the noise out, i have to go back to the tree where Kagome found me just to get away from those two!" with that, he turned to head off ahead of Shippo and Kagome, before looking back with a grin "camping huh...? well, if you say so, you can call it that." he just shrugged, and moved on, idly having his arms crossed in his coat while idly flicking his ears a bit lightly, actually not saying more sarcastic things, given he wasn't really narked off at the moment, no Kouga, no Sesshoumaru getting in his buisness, Naraku's dead finally, just a bit restless due to having to be kept awake by the two lovebirds.

Yuu parted ways with Jake to return home so he could make his own phone calls. As he had predicted, Akari was reasonably easy for him to get in touch with on her cellphone and she said she would figure something out to get a hold of Zenjirou. Of course, she also brought up the fact that this would have been a lot simpler if everyone had cellphones like she did. Naturally, Yuu could only sweatdrop when Akari voiced pretty much exactly what he'd been thinking as he'd left the university. In any event, they would have slightly better numbers to work with tomorrow once they started up their investigation again so that was something at least.
*~*~*~*~*
"Actually, without modern conveniences like electricity, camping is a pretty reasonable approximation," Crystal noted. Especially if you started to factor in the variables such as Crystal fully intending to camp out under the stars because, wouldn't you know, the air was a lot clearer 500 years ago and that meant that sky would be absolutely breathtaking.
She and Taiki began walking with Kagome and Shippo toward the village at a somewhat leisurely pace. Taiki remained rather quiet as he was still taking in all the local sights and sounds. Unlike his experience in the digital world, they weren't immediately under attack so he actually had a chance to take it all in so he could get accustomed to the place before anything crazy were to happen. If, he quickly corrected himself. If anything crazy were to happen he would at least have had a chance to look around first.
Once they reached the village it looked like Kaede and Rin had volunteered to look after the children so that Miroku and Sango could freely participate in the reunion for the next several hours without having to worry. No doubt, Sango would gang up on Crystal with Kagome to gossip about all the juicy details leaving Taiki to fend for himself against the likes of Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippo. But first...
"Hey Crystal," Shippo couldn't hold himself back anymore now that they had finally reached the village. "Didn't you say you brought some stuff back for me?"
"Still as impatient as ever I see," Crystal answered with a slight sweatdrop. She held up her right arm to consult the holographic display projected from the face of her watch. Then, as she tapped the various icons that appeared on the screen in front of her, a pile of assorted candy and candy dispensers materialized in front of Shippo. "I just grabbed whatever I could find at the checkout line so it's all the latest stuff, but beyond that I didn't really pay all that much attention to what I was grabbing so you're going to have to figure out what all that stuff is for yourself."
"Are you sure it's really a great idea to be giving him so much sugar?" Taiki wondered aloud as he also sweatdropped.
"Trust me," Crystal flashed him a reassuring smile. "I know from experience that this is the easiest way to keep him under control."
"I know it sounds crazy," Kagome asserted. "But it actually works."
"Anyway, I think the rest of this stuff can probably wait until later," Crystal glanced at the remaining icons that still occupied the holographic display. "Well, except maybe for these..." she quickly corrected herself. At this, she cast an apologetic glance at Kagome. "Try not to get too mad at Inuyasha for what I'm about to do. I wanted to make a good impression so I kind of went a little overboard on this."
So saying, she tapped several more icons causing a stack of instant ramen cup cases to materialize so that it was almost as tall as the aforementioned hanyou himself. There was even an assortment of different flavors distributed throughout each of the cases.
"Yay!" Shippo vanished as he dove into the small mountain of candy that had been provided for him. He would leave it to Inuyasha to comment on the amazingly generous supply of "ninja food" that had been provided for them.
Kagome could only sweatdrop in dismay.
*~*~*~*~*
"What do you mean you've lost their scent?" Tagiru stared hard at Gumdramon as the two of them stood in the storehouse surrounding the well at the Higurashi Shrine.
"I mean exactly what I told you the first time," Gumdramon answered with an exasperated sigh. "Their scent trail stops here. Heck if I know why."
"You think maybe they went down there?" Tagiru peered down the well. Even in the dim lighting of the storehouse he could just barely make out the vague outlines of ancient bones down at the bottom. He shuddered visibly at the sight of them and rubbed down his arms to banish the goosebumps he was getting just by being in such a place.
"I don't see where else they could have gone," Gumdramon replied with a slight shrug.
Tagiru gulped as he peered down again. "You think maybe there could be a secret tunnel down there or something?"
"Doesn't really look like it to me," Gumdramon peered down to take a good look for himself. "But I guess we might not see anything if there's a trapdoor or something down there blocking our view from up here."
"No choice then," Tagiru tightened his goggles. "We're just gonna have to jump down after them!"
And down they went. They landed in an awkward pile down at the bottom. The bones suddenly looked a whole lot fresher for some reason.
"You know Gumdramon," Tagiru started as he untangled himself from his partner. "It doesn't look like there's a door down here after all."
Gumdramon peered up through the shaft of the well. "I think you might be right about that. By the way, weren't we indoors just a minute ago?"
"Huh? Of course we were indoors," Tagiru stared blankly at Gumdramon. "I mean, the well was hidden in some kind of a storehouse."
"Then how come I can see the sky above us?" Gumdramon asked with an obvious note of concern in his voice.
"That's..." Tagiru paused and stared. "That's a really good question."

around the time Tagiru was just entering the Feudal Era, Shiro Landed at the Higurashi Shrine, grumbling a bit while forming an anger vein as he took a sniff ~damn... crystal's gonna kill me for not stopping him sooner!~ of course, he then headed past the gates and to the storehouse where the Bone-Eater's Well was, and poked his head in, seeing no sign of the two morons he immediately pinched the bridge of his nose, before sighing "damn.. no choice then." with that, he grabbed onto the edge, and leapt right in to head for the Feudal Era himself, to either drag these two back to the modern era, or at least -save- their hides.
Sesshoumaru meanwhile was flying along on his usual method of transportation when he wasn't with Rin or Ah-Un, Jaken also noticably absent as well given he left his retainer to do some errands for him back at his castle, and landed near the Bone-Eater's well, frowning as he took a couple of sniffs "hmm.. my sister is nearby..." he then walked towards the well to see if she merely hadn't gotten out of the well yet.
Inu-Yasha was actually looking watery-eyed in happiness seeing the Ramen, before swipign about half that pile and stuffing it into his Cloak woven by the fire rat hair and all, as well as working to pick up a sack from nearby to carry the rest "Crystal, you are -still- my most favorite sibiling ever~" he said quite hapily, of course this probably led to facevaults left and right from this, but Inu-Yasha was now a Happy Hanyou, so i doubt anything would get him down, even the very distant scent of Sesshoumaru in the area.

Tagiru hung onto Gumdramon's tail as his partner began to carefully ascend up from the bottom of the well, eventually distributing them both safely onto the ground beside the aforementioned well. The fact that they were now surrounded on all sides by the forest wasn't at all reassuring.
"Do you think maybe we could have ended up in the digital world?" Tagiru had to ask. The idea had merit since he'd never been there himself and he certainly would have been thrilled by the prospect.
"This definitely isn't the digital world Tagiru," Gumdramon answered with a slight sweatdrop. And he would certainly know if it was. "We're still in the human world, but there's something, I don't know, different, about it."
"So, do you think the tall silver-haired guy with the pointy ears walking toward could possibly be a digimon?" Tagiru asked.
Gumdramon shuddered involuntarily when he finally noticed Sesshoumaru.
"I'm not really sure," Gumdramon answered shakily. "But he feels insanely powerful."
"Maybe we'd better run for it!" Tagiru grabbed Gumdramon by the arm and bolted into the forest.
*~*~*~*~*
The sight of Inuyasha practically squealing as he started making off with the instant ramen cups caused Taiki, Kagome and Sango (who had now arrived with Miroku) to sweatdrop at the spectacle. Taiki wisely chose not to question why a hanyou from the Feudal Era should be so enthusiastic about something as commonplace as instant cup ramen. Then again, in this era it probably wasn't so common... if it existed yet at all. Taiki didn't really know enough history behind instant cup ramen to verify that.
"It looks like we're late to the party," Sango eventually broke the silence that had settled over the group as they watched Inuyasha flee with his bounty.
Shippo was way too immersed in burrowing into the mountain of candy that had been set before him to pay any attention to what was going on around him as he struggled to reach a decision about what he should try first. It all looked so tasty!

Shiro meanwhile had landed in the well just as Tagiru bolted, before lookign up with a frown as he looked around to see no sign of the idiot and his pet moron, he rubbed the temples on the left side of his head, before proceeding to climb out on his own, sitting on the edge of the well to take a bit of a rest before looking to the side to see Sesshoumaru walk over "oh.. Hello Sesshoumaru-sama." he said calmly and with respect, said Daiyoukai just looked at Shiro with a mild eyebrow raise before shrugging a bit "so you're here... mind answering a question for me?" Shiro blinked, and nodded" sure, ask away." Sesshoumaru nodded and decided to ask "what is a Digimon?" of course, this caused Shiro to blink, and blink again, before falling backwards right back into the well, with a loud crash and a muffled cry of "TAAAAGGGIIIIRRRRUUUUUU~! I'M GONNA BEAT YOUR HEAD BLACK AND BLUE WHEN I GET MY CLAWS ON YOU, COUNT ON IT!!!!"
MEANWHILE...
Inu-Yasha blinked when he flicked an ear back towards the way they came, and shrugged lightly "probably nothing." he said while looking to the others "come on! i'm sure you don't want to be out of the village for too long guys, you especially shippou! you've got your bounty to eat too!"

Shiro's sudden departure back to the modern era resulted in a startled Souta having just returned home from school. "I wonder what that was about..."
He wisely steered clear of the storehouse surrounding the Bone Eater's Well and quickly fled into the house. At the very least he would want to obtain some protective wards from his grandfather before going in to investigate. Not that he was likely to find anything out there by the time he got there considering Shiro would have plenty of time to make the jump back to the Feudal era by then.
*~*~*~*~*
"Good point," Shippo sprang out from underneath the mountain of yummy goodies and used some of his Kitsune magic to temporarily shrink his horde of candy to a more manageable size so he could stuff it all in his many pockets along with the numerous acorns, mushrooms, and other toys he kept hidden on his person at all times. It was hard to believe that the young Kitsune was obediently listening to Inuyasha for a change. Kagome seriously doubted that was going to last for very long.
As Taiki accompanied the rest of them into the village he couldn't help feeling just a little bit out of place on account of the fact that his usual attire wasn't anywhere close to being period appropriate for where and when he was right now. Not that Crystal was dressed any better.
"Are you sure we shouldn't have changed into some different clothes before we came here?" he had to ask in a slight whisper so as not to draw attention from the surrounding villagers.
"We'd stick out around here even if we weren't dressed this way," Crystal answered simply. "Besides, the most important thing to remember in this era is to always remain true to yourself. As long as you can do that it won't matter how you're dressed or what you look like."
"It sounds like you've become more mature since we last saw you," Sango observed.
"I'm not so sure I've really become more mature," Crystal replied. "But I've definitely been dabbling in more philosophy."
"You say that," Kagome chimed in. "But then, the last time we saw you, you didn't have a boyfriend."
"That doesn't prove anything!" Crystal protested as Kagome's comment elicited blushing from both her and Taiki.
*~*~*~*~*
Tagiru kept on running, with Gumdramon in tow, until he suddenly collided with an invisible wall. Actually, the wall wasn't so much invisible as it was made of a fast moving whirlwind. Tagiru was flung back and became entangled in some dense bushes along with Gumdramon. Then, from that vantage point, he got to watch in stunned silence as the whirlwind suddenly whipped back around and came rushing straight toward them. He was about to let out out a terrified shriek when the whirlwind dissipated rather abruptly to reveal a certain familiar wolf youkai.
"Hey kid, you're not hurt are you?" Kouga inquired as he looked over Tagiru and his partner. Judging by the kid's fiery hair and the unusual appearance of his companion he immediately jumped to the conclusion that they were both youkai he hadn't met before. "Haven't seen you around here before. It looks like you guys were running away from something. Did you get into some kind of trouble in the village near here?"
"What village?" Tagiru asked dumbly.
"We were running from a scary looking silver haired guy!" Gumdramon finished for him.
Scary looking silver haired guy? Kouga thought it over. These brats couldn't have been talking about that mangy mutt, Inuyasha, could they?
Not that this guy isn't also kind of scary looking, thought Tagiru.

Sesshoumaru had blinked, and tilted his head the tiniest of fractions to the left seeing Shiro disappear back into the well, before shrugging, and proceeding to look towards the direction Tagiru and his friend had ran off to, frowning a bit lightly "well.. maybe i'll ask him later then." he mumbled, and proceeded to turn into a little energy ball before floating off into the sky, to go find that hanyou or youkai looking kid.
Shiro meanwhile had jumped back to his feet and then leapt out of the well, seeing he was back in the Modern era he mentally beat his own head in for letting himself do something that stupid, before jumping right back -INTO- the well, not realizing his shout had actually caught someone's ears, before returnign back to the Feudal era, where he hopped back out of the well, seeing no sign of Sesshoumaru he frowned, and sniffed the air, and then took off into the forest, following Gumdramon's scent ~that idiot better not have gotten into trouble!~
Tagiru probably wouldn't notice right away, but Kouga might, a little green energy ball floating into the area and then forming into the full form of Sesshoumaru pretty quickly standing right behind Tagiru with a raised eyebrow seeing the wolf demon that usually bothered his little brother.
MEANWHILE...
Miroku smiled innocently while hugging Sango from the side as he spoke up "you know, i'm sure your brothers would be quite proud of you finally getting a boyfriend crystal, especially when he can spoil you silly, right Sango-dear?" he said while wagging his eyebrows not so innocently, of course Inu-Yasha chuckled a bit while shrugging "i wouldn't say that Miroku, but the kid looks like he's got a good head on his shoulders, so i'm sure he'll treat crystal right, unless you plan to push him away like you've done all the others in the past?" he asked, turning his head to look at Crystal lightly.

"Oh, so you're the reason these kids are so freaked out," Kouga peered calmly at Sesshoumaru. "Well, I guess that makes more sense than anyone being afraid of your halfwit little brother."
Naturally, this led to Tagiru and Gumdramon glancing back over their shoulders to once again behold the regal visage of Sesshoumaru.
"Gumdramon, are you sure this isn't the digital world?" Tagiru had to ask because so far everyone they had encountered since traveling through the well looked kind of demonic so he was pretty sure they weren't human. Sure, he had been around Shiro, but these guys were too subtle to register on Tagiru's youkai radar.
"Positive," Gumdramon replied shakily. "And I'm not sure why, but I feel like I'm losing my power."
Tagiru stopped and stared at him. "You're joking. Is that even possible?"
"How should I know? Nothing like this has ever happened to me before," Gumdramon retorted.
"Just hang on a second," Kouga rubbed the back of his head. "You kids aren't making any sense."
The wolf youkai looked back to Sesshoumaru. "So, you got any idea what these little half pints are going on about?"
*~*~*~*~*
Sango became visibly flustered by Miroku's excessively public display of affection, but she let it slide for the moment by not immediately beating him off for it. "I don't think Crystal-chan is really the type to go rushing into anything, but if they are serious about wanting to be together I'm sure they can work out the details for themselves."
Crystal scratched behind her ear. "There haven't been that many other guys," she started hesitantly. "And none of them were even my idea. We're still great friends, but I'm not attracted to them. I didn't and still don't have any other feelings toward them." She was quiet for a second, visibly fighting back the blush that threatened to consume her face. "Taiki is my choice. I'm done pushing away the people I care about. That's the whole reason I decided to stay in the same world."
"And she wasn't even sure she had a shot at him at the time," Zapmon piped up from inside of Crystal's Xros Loader. "Now that was some amazing dedication on her part."
"I'm lucky she's so patient," Taiki noted thoughtfully. "It took a long time for me to even make up my mind, but she was prepared to wait however long it took, even if nothing came of it."
"Yeah well," Crystal rubbed under her nose, no longer able to really mask her blushing. "Since I had already gone ahead and told you about how I felt I at least wanted for it to be your own decision. I wasn't planning on forcing the issue in case there was already someone else."
Kagome knew firsthand how difficult a choice that was to make--to wish for the one you love to be happy, even if it means not being with them, although Kikyo had ultimately made the decision entirely unnecessary for her. Still, it sounded like Crystal was really being serious about this guy and that was definitely saying something.
"It sounds like we're going to have plenty to talk about," Kagome got that schoolgirl glimmer that comes along with anticipating some good gossip.

of course, Sesshoumaru just shrugged lightly while raising an eyebrow" they had no reason to be afraid of me, i wasn't even going to bother with them until they called me a.. digimon, i think it was." he said calmly, before looking to the two in front of him "at this point i don't know wether i should kill these two Hanyou for insulting me, or simply throw them to Inu-Yasha, since he might know who they are."
Shiro of course by that time had appeared behind Kouga, looking quite pissed off, but the anger was not directed at the regal lord Sesshoumaru or the Lord of the Wolf demon Tribe, as he grounded out in a raw growling voice "ohhh Tagiru.... Gumdramon... you and i need to have a little -talk- about your blatant idiocy" he said coldly, while naturally tracing into hand two copies of a tiger charm dangling bokkens with a large dark bloodlust like gleam to them.. Torashinai, favored weapon of one Fujimura Taiga.. a cursed wooden blade that demands the blood of it's enemies.

"Gah!" Tagiru quickly sprang loose from the bushes that had entangled him and Gumdramon at both the sight of Shiro and the aura of blood lust that emanated from his preferred weapon for dealing with Tagiru and Gumdramon. It didn't take a genius to figure out that right now Shiro's idea of 'talking' would be more along the lines of kicking the crap out of them until they were beaten to within an inch of their lives. "Hang on Shiro, can't we talk about this before you hit us?"
That being said, Tagiru was already trying to make a run for it back the way he had come from. By that point the only reason Gumdramon was still keeping up with him was because Tagiru hadn't let go of his arm. Gumdramon had enough sense to know it was pretty pointless trying to run away from Shiro when he got angry with them like this so Gumdramon wouldn't have even bothered if not for the fact that he was being dragged along by his partner. The other problem, for the moment, was that all of that running away they had done trying to get away from that silver-haired guy had only gotten them even more lost when they didn't have the slightest idea where they were to begin with. That meant that Shiro was their only hope of getting back and, unfortunately for Tagiru and Gumdramon, Shiro was royally pissed at both of them.
Gumdramon hastily transformed his tail hammer into a sharp blade and dug it into the ground leaving a narrow trench behind him as he slowed himself and Tagiru to a stop.
"Gumdramon! What do you think you're doing?!" Tagiru panicked, but before he could let go of Gumdramon so he could get back to running his partner caught him by the wrist, spun him into the air and flung him bodily at Shiro.
"How about we call a truce until we make it back home?" Gumdramon made an attempt at negotiating with Shiro so-as to avoid being punished himself.

Ryouma had no trouble sneaking into the university, even with the scattered crowds of police and firefighters still on campus attempting, rather unsuccessfully, to investigate the cause of the fire that had gone off at the indoor campus pool. By that point caution tape had been draped around the gym and neighboring locker rooms to keep people out, but for now Ryouma really wasn't interested in either of those locations. No doubt, the authorities would chase him and Blaze off campus if they spotted them, so for now it would be much more pertinent for them to head for one of the adjacent buildings where they would have some cover while they waited to carry out their investigation. Ryouma found it vaguely interesting that the science department seemed to occupy the building nearest to the gym.
"This definitely looks promising," he remarked before slipping inside.

Shiro frowned when he saw Tagiru fled, of course, he then raised an eyebrow seeing Gumdramon actually fling Tagiru back to him, and twitched an eyebrow, but he had let go of his blood-lusty looking aura noticing who was also in the area, Sesshoumaru and Kouga, as he idly dismissed the twin Torashinai for now "... sure, truce you two, but Tagiru's still getting a welt on the head when we get back." he said while sighing a bit "as for you Tagiru..." he calmly walked over and looked at him eye to eye "reload Gumdramon back into his Xros Loader -Now-, unless you want either him or you dying because of Gumdramon taking way too much energy from you in this era." he looked to Sesshoumaru lightly "sorry about this Lord Sesshoumaru.. he technically wasn't supposed to -come- to this era."
Sesshoumaru just raised an eyebrow lightly while shrugging a bit raising an eyebrow "i take it he's from that Miko's and your era, Shiro-san?" he said calmly while said fox hanyou idly nodded a bit lightly as the Taiyoukai just turned away "... then it might be best for you three to get to the village that Miko and her friends and my.. brother... are at most likely, otherwise you'll risk of running into probably unfriendly demons."
Shiro nodded, sighing a bit while grabbing Tagiru by the shirt collar "i was planning to simply toss Tagiru back into the well, but unfortunately when you surprised me with that earlier question Lord Sesshoumaru, i kinda.. went and yelled my frustration about this mess, so it might be a while before i can get them safely back to the modern era without being seen." he said, while tilting his head over to Kouga "so what brings you here too Kouga? i hope this lunkheaded idiot didn't do anything stupid while i had to find him."
