Ok, here's the part where I say that I don't own any of the characters from the series Inuyasha. Those rights belong to Rumiko Takahashi. The only characters I do own, along with my friends, are the ones we made up. So, now that the formalities are over, sit back and enjoy.

What are the Odds?

Chapter 1: So There Really is a Dog-demon (by itachi-musume)

I don't really know how to begin telling about my life after the move. I think many people would probably consider me to be insane if I tried to tell them about it. I mean, what are the odds of this happening to me? But for some reason I need to tell somebody about it. It all started at the beginning of last school year. My dad had gotten a new job, so we had moved to a new city, much bigger than the small town I lived in before. I was real nervous on the first day of school. I had no friends, no idea what my classes were going to be, and no clue how to get around the school. Luckily I had been given a map of the school, so when I got my schedule in homeroom, I had time to map out where I was supposed to go.

My first class was English class. When I first stepped through that door, I had no idea how severely my life would change as a consequence of the people I met that day. Sitting two seats behind me was a girl named Raven. She had a great figure, though she may not think so herself, and long blond hair braided down to her waste. She also had a very sophisticated and unique fashion sense, a sense I seemed to lack tremendously. Two rows over was Melly. She was an ultra talented artist. I mean, this girl could blow you away with the talent she had flowing through her fingers.

Melly was the first one to talk to me. She instantly accepted me and didn't think a thing of it. She was already friends with Raven and introduced me to her. Raven, however, was a little harder to gain acceptance with. She seemed uninterested and almost a bit stuck up. My first impression was eventually proven wrong later on when Raven and I became close friends with a lot in common. Strange how people meet.

I eventually found out that Raven was a obsessed with any form of a weapon. She even had a custom made katana that she would bring with her everywhere in an instant if she could. Needless to say, she took much pride in this sword and kept it perfectly sharp all the time. Sometimes, if you were lucky, she will even give you a close up look at her handy work in sharpening it. Yep, it was nicely done.

Well, the reason Raven and I even became close friends was due to one mysterious man. I first saw him when Raven showed me pictures of him, drawn my Melly, claiming that he was a real dog-demon and that he belonged to her. She said his name was Inuyasha. I immediately started laughing, like the fool I was, because I thought she was insane to think that I would believe that some guy who was half demon and half human actually existed. I mean, come on, the guy had dog-ears! Well, this was when I learned something new about Raven, she had a temper.

After Raven's face turned completely red, she grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me out far into some woods that were behind her house. It is unbelievable the strength that girl can get when she is angry because all of a sudden she picked me up over her head and threw me down a well. And, needless to say, this is where my life kinda went crazy.

When I woke up after being knocked out from the fall down the well, I found Raven standing over me looking down. Ok, it was scary. Raven told me to get up and climb out of the well using some vines that were growing along one side. Here is where I made another mistake. I told her that she was crazy and that I seriously lacked climbing skills, so I would just end up busting my head open or something. Well, Raven turned red again. This time she pulled out her katana on me and placed it right at my throat.

You know, Raven can really work miracles. With her help, I managed to climb those vines without ever losing my footing! When we were out of the well, Raven began walking off through the woods. I figured that is was best for me to just follow and not ask where we were going. After a little while we came upon a little village. I was definitely shocked, but for fear of another threat, I kept it to myself. Raven walked up to an older woman who was dressed strangely and started talking with her. When she was done, she came back to me and told me to follow her. Of course, I followed. After a little more walking we came to a group of people who where also dressed differently. Raven did the introductions.

"Sachi, this is Miroku. You might want to watch out for him. He's a definite pervert."

"Well, Raven, I see you are as bold as ever. Yes, I am Miroku. Don't believe a thing Raven says about me, it's all lies. I am very respectable when it comes to beautiful women such as yourself."

BANG!!

"You lecher!! Can't you ever think about anything else besides women?! Hi, I'm Sango. It would be wise to take Raven's warning and not listen to a thing this monk has to say."

"And I'm Shippo."

Looking down, I noticed that the thing that had just spoken was a little boy with a fox tail. Usually I would have screamed to see something so strange looking at me, but this time I just couldn't look beyond that cute little face. Of course I instantly started hugging him telling him how cute he was. I don't know, I think I might have squeezed to hard because for some reason he went limp and his eyes began to swirl. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

"What kind of a stupid girl are you?! You can't just go around squeezing the daylights out of little kids, no matter how much of a pest they are."

"Inuyasha! Sit!" Inuyasha fell face first to the ground. "Sorry, please excuse him. He tends to get a bit angry at little things. I'm Kagome. It's nice to meet you."

"Wait, did you just call him Inuyasha? As in the Inuyasha that Raven is always talking about?" Ok, so this is when I began to realize where Raven had taken me.

"Yeah, that's him all right."

We all turned to look at him face down on the ground. Raven was by his side smiling and stroking his hair. She didn't bother helping him up. She seemed to just be enjoying the opportunity that was given to her to stroke him without much of a fight on his part. This is the part of my life where I realized that unimaginable things could happen. Who would have thought that a dog-demon really existed.

We all set down and everyone started filling me in on the Shikon Jewel and how they all were on a quest to gather all the shards. They explained how Naraku was the evil behind all their troubles, and how Kagome was the reincarnation of a priestess named Kikyou. Then I found out how we were in feudal Japan around 600 years in the past, and that Kagome was from my time.

Miroku started talking about how Inuyasha used to love Kikyou, but now can't decide between her, Kagome, and probably even Raven. At this Inuyasha got a little upset and tried to leave, but, though she doesn't have the magical ability like Kagome, Raven made him sit on command. I guess even Inuyasha is a little afraid of a girl like Raven.

I wanted to come with them and help them out on any of their journeys I could, but they all said it was too dangerous for me. All except for Raven, that is. She wanted me to come along. She said that I was good company, and besides, she needed someone to carry her backpack for her. Oh fun, but at least she got everyone to agree on letting me stay.

It was getting dark, so it was time for Raven and me to go back home. Everyone walked us to the well. Raven was the first to go down the well. I was about to go, then I got a wild idea that I decided to carry through now why I had the chance. I ran and pulled Inuyasha's ears. They made a funny little sound; how cute. Then, before he could cut me in half, I ran and took a leap down the well. Raven must have seen the whole thing because when I got down the well she gave me a big pat on the back, but I think she might have forgotten her own strength because a bruise showed up there the next day.

That night all I could think about was everyone I had met that day. I couldn't wait till the next time Raven would throw me down the well. I think I might even forget about complaining about climbing the vines.

Ok, so here is the first chapter of this fanfiction. If I'm right, I should have a friend help me write this one. Tune in next time for the meeting of Sesshoumaru and Sachi!! Don't forget to send reviews!!!
