Summary: YYH/IY-On her 15th birthday, Kagome meets Inuyasha, but not in the
way Fate had planned. Yusuke and co. are the only ones who may be able to
help her out of this mess... Or maybe it's not a mess at all, but a
blessing. VOTE: KUR/KAG, HIEI/KAG, OR OC/KAG!!!

Star: Okay, I'm trying this again. The first time I posted it got taken down because some idiot reported it. And all I can figure out is because of my vote! Tons of people do that. I checked the rules, and it is NOT against the rules to have interaction. It's only against the rules if you post an entry that doesn't have a chapter on it, but instead it has a poll or something. (silently fumes) I'm not supposed to rant, but be warned: this story does not break the rules in any way! This wasn't even a rant, either. This was a little note telling you all that it fits the rules. I even got a second opinion on it, too, from another author. If you're reading this, thanks so much Sherkoni!!!

Chapter 1: Surprises
(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)
Her raven hair swaying gently with the soft wind, a teenaged girl walked out of her shrine-house, eyes bright, anticipating what was sure to be ahead. It was her birthday, plain and simple, and she looked forward to hanging out with her cousin all day. He and his friends, she corrected herself. I've never met them before... Wonder what they will be like...
She thought she could see him coming up the tall set of stairs leading to the shrine. No one would ever believe he had died and come back to life, what with those bright brown eyes, so full of life. Plus, he was just too freaking tough!
She also saw that he had his friends with him. The one that looked like a monkey she thought she recognized... Ah, that must be Kuwabaka! She definitely remembered him from whenever she went over to her cousin's house. He was always picking fights with him... Strange, then why would he be coming with them today? Whatever, it didn't really matter, now did it?
So there are...four people with him. The more the merrier! Especially since they were going downtown. This particular city could be dangerous at times. Okay, well, it could be dangerous all the time.
She was about to call out to him, when someone called out to her. It was NOT him, though.
"Kagome!" It was her little brother, Souta. What did he want now? Didn't he realize she was trying to leave?
"Yes?" Kagome called back politely, despite her anxiety to leave.
She watched as he came toward her from the direction of the well house. "Could you go get Buyo? He's in there," he asked, jerking his thumb backwards to indicate the well.
"Why can't you go get him?" Kagome was getting impatient. He just HAD to interrupt her for something as unimportant as finding the cat, didn't he?
"Because I'm scared. That well gives me the creeps!" Kagome's face softened. She hadn't known it scared him. Well, she would have to help put a stop to his fears.
"Come on, Souta. We'll both go in together, okay? You need to learn not to be afraid of the well, and the only way THAT is going to happen is if you face your fears." She started walking towards the building behind him; as she passed him, she lightly grabbed his arm and gently pulled him over to the door.
She slid the door open, and stood in the doorway getting used to the light, or lack thereof, in the small room. Man, he was right to have asked her for help. Even though she WAS the fearless big sister, she had to admit that this place DID give her the creeps. No, she wasn't afraid of it, but she still didn't like it all that much.
"Souta, stay here and watch big sis take care of this, 'kay? There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a little creepy." With that, she left him standing there as she made her way down the few steps and forward to the well.
"Buyo," she called softly, "Where are you, kitty?" She knelt down to get a better view of the floor at his level. There he was! Over there, on the...other...side of the well. Oh great, now she had to walk by the very thing that was freaking her out. Oh well, as long as she showed Souta there was nothing to be afraid of...
She carefully walked over to the fat, cowering cat, cooing to him tenderly, and reached to pick him up. With the overweight Buyo in her arms, Kagome turned around and began heading back for the door, making a beeline for her little brother.
"See, that wasn't so bad. Next time maybe you could come in here and get him." As Kagome tried to hand the cat over to Souta's outstretched arms, he vaulted over his head and ran away into the house, hissing.
The feline had run away, and not a moment too soon, for immediately after there was a loud noise and a crack as the splintered wood of the well cover went flying in all directions. Souta didn't get hit, but Kagome did, as she was protecting him with her own body. She felt a small amount of blood dribble down her back and a little more on one of her arms, but that was it. It was nothing too serious, so she shooed him out the door and told him to go get someone to help clean up the mess.
But just as she said it, a figure emerged from inside the well, perching on the ledge easily. He was holding a glowing pink jewel, on a rosary of some kind, and was looking around confused. His eyes were red, his hair silver, and his claws bloody.
The figure smelled alarm in the vicinity, and looked in the direction it was coming from. He smirked wickedly. "Kikyo, I thought I just killed you," he growled. "No matter, I can kill you again. But first, where are we?"
Kagome appeared totally bewildered. "E-excuse me?"
(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)
As soon as he saw the dude pop out of the well, and saw the evil look in his eyes, Souta had run in shock. Over to the tall stairs he went, to get Yusuke. He knew Yusuke would be able to help his sister, and she needed help now.
Good, they're not far away. As soon as he reached the top, he hollered, "Yusuke! Kagome needs help!" His tone was frantic, and his eyes were too. Seeing this, Yusuke ran up the stairs to the shaking boy, his friends not too far behind.
"Souta, tell me where she is," Yusuke demanded, fearing for his cousin. If anything happened to her...
"I-in the well house." Souta then fainted, overwhelmed at what had happened. Yusuke caught him and tossed him off to one of his friends, before racing off to the well, only to find a weird guy standing on the rim of the well, with what looked like lust and the need to kill in his eyes. He was staring at a paralyzed Kagome.
