The sun was rising in the east in modern Tokyo. Kagome had set her alarm clock so she could wake up in time for her morning birthday celebration. Her alarm went off, and she silenced the clock and awoke with excitement. "Today is the day" she said. She hurried to the kitchen.
She was surprised with the extent of the decorations that had gone up overnight. Her family was waiting for her with her presents at the ready. "Happy Birthday, Kagome" Sota said. With that he handed his sister a present: a portable CD player. Her mother and grandfather inform her that they went in on a special gift together. Grandpa handed her a small box saying "I know that you will like this gift." Kagome shook the box, hearing something small and loose inside. "I guess it's a very expensive bracelet" she said as she undid the wrapping paper. Once inside, she finds a set of keys. "What exactly do these keys go to?" Kagome asked. Mama replied "well, I'll give you a clue: it's parked in front of the house waiting for you."
Kagome then headed outside with the rest of the family following her out. She couldn't believe her eyes: her gift was a brand-new car with a retractable hardtop. "This is wonderful!" she shouted. She got in and took a look at the many features of her new convertible car. "Thanks, Mama, and you, too, grandpa" she said.
At that moment, the earth started to tremble. "Grab hold of something, it's an earthquake!" Sota shouted. With that, Kagome, Sota, Mama and Grandpa held onto a light pole.
Meanwhile, in the Feudal era, a similar earthquake was occurring. "What's happening?" Shippo asked. Miroku said "an earthquake. QUICK, GRAB ON!" With that, He held onto a large tree trunk while Shippo grabbed onto Miroku's leg.
Back in modern times, the well was starting to buckle as a result of the tremors. The well itself tilted to one side at an angle, and its opening widened dramatically. A similar thing was happening to the same well in the Feudal era, except it leaned the opposite way. Soon, the tremors were over. Damage was very minimal elsewhere in both eras despite the exceptionally large tremors. Kagome looked at her car and found it still sitting there undamaged. "I'm going out" Kagome said. As she was packing up, she looked at the well and got an idea.
Mama said "well, make sure you take enough food with you now." After a while, Kagome had packed up the essentials, retracted the hard roof, put her items into the trunk, and got into her car. Grandpa asked "you're taking this thing out for a spin?" Kagome replied "it'll be more than a spin."
Kagome found the well opening had enlarged enough to admit the car, and the slope of the well was sufficient to drive down. The well now looked like an immense cavern. She switched on the headlights, unaware that the car was changing in a subtle way.
Back in the Feudal era, Miroku and Shippo had arrived at the well. "I hope Kagome can still return here" said Shippo. Miroku said "I think she ought to. Sure, the angle may be a little awkward, and the opening of the well looks like a cavern." They then heard an unusual roaring noise coming from the well's opening. The continuous duration of the sound ruled out the possibility of it being a demon. "What's that noise?" Miroku asked. Just then, two lights appeared inside and appeared to be growing larger and larger. The sound was growing louder and louder as well. "I think something is coming out!" Shippo yelled. They both went to the side of the opening. A moment later, an unusual metal object emerged from the well opening. The object was red in color and had what Shippo figured were wheels of some kind. They looked further up and found Kagome waving to them. "Hi, Shippo" she said.
Miroku asked "Kogome, what is that thing you are in?" Kagome turned off the engine saying "this is my new means of transportation. Known as an automobile or, simply, a car. I am now able to travel across land much quicker than anyone can run." Miroku said "impressive." InuYasha now sprinted into view. "Whatever that noise was, I'm going to find out" he said, reaching for the tetsusaiga. Kagome rolled her eyes and casually said "sit, boy." Upon slamming face-first into the ground, InuYasha groaned in pain and said "well, hello to you, too, Kagome."
After helping InuYasha up, Kagome got back into her car saying "behold my latest artifact." InuYasha, recognizing the vehicle from his past visits into the modern world, replied "wow. Nice set of wheels." Kagome then sensed something quite nearby. She started the car and noticed that the gas gauge, which had previously been at ¼ a tank, was rising up to "full" on its own. "I have never seen these things do this before" she said. She looked under the car and figured out why the car was somehow generating more gasoline for itself: the fuel tank now appeared to be fabricated of the same material as the sacred jewel. "I am going to love this" she thought.
