Title: Trapped in the Future!
Written By: Crimson Skyez
Disclaimer: Inu Yasha is not mine, and is writted by the ever-worshipped
Rumiko Takahashi. I love her animes, and wanted to write my own fanfic
expressing that. I hope I do her characters justice. Also, take note, I
haven't seen all the episodes yet, so this is pretty much going to be
entirely my setting and stuff. Don't hate me, and please leave comments!
Feedback is appreciated. ^_^
Chapter 1
"You were out with Kikyo again, weren't you?!" Kagome tossed her arms up in the air in exasperation as she found herself locked in another argument with Inu Yasha. The half-demon had his arms folded in front of him, his red clothing billowing in the wind, along with his long silver hair.
"So what if I was.." He retaliated curtly, golden eyes locked on hers.
Kagome stomped her foot loudly to the ground. "Oh, I don't know... maybe because you SAID you'd meet me for a nighttime picnic yesterday afternoon!" Inu Yasha hmphed, and looked away. Okay, so he sort of... forgot about that promise. But he wasn't about to let Kagome know that. "I don't believe you! You don't give a crap about me, do you?!" Again, Inu Yasha was silent. Tears began to sting at Kagome's eyes.
"Kagome... Inu Yasha.. calm down, guys.." Miroku, whom was eavesdropping this whole time, stepped out of the bushes and approached them. He placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder, and glared at Kagome. "How dare you upset a girl like this? After all, you have better things to do..." Inu Yasha and Kagome both stare at him as he closed his eyes and lowered his head. "Like letting Kagome here agree to bare my children."
BAMF! Miroku soon had a red handprint across his face.
"You pervert!" Kagome screamed at him, before turning to Inu Yasha once again. "Fine! I've HAD it! I'm sick of competing with you and your stupid dead girlfriend! I give up!" She turned around and began stomping away.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going?!" Inu Yasha called after her, very enraged at the digs made on his beloved Kikyo.
"I'm going home! And I mean it! This will be the last time you ever see me!" Kagome called without looking back.
"Wait! Kagome!" The voice of young Shippou was heard, whom was also eavesdropping, who also leapt out from behind the bushes to run after the frustrated schoolgirl. "Don't leave! I'll miss you!"
"What the /hell/ is this?! Is EVERYONE spying on me now?!" Kagome screamed at Shippou's appearance, before quickening her walk to a run. "Just leave me alone! All of you!" Miroku and Shippou watched as Kagome ran off, while Inu Yasha sulked, arms folded, eyes looking the other way.
"Hmph. Good riddence to her. Finally, she was always so annoying." Inu Yasha stated, and received a nice smack on the back of the head with Miroku's staff. "Ow! Hey! What was THAT for?!" He glared at Miroku, whom no longer had a red mark on his face. Instead, the handprint seemed to entirely be faded already.
"You, my friend, are an insensitive jerk." Miroku replied with a twinge of annoyance, the monk moving to follow after Kagome.
Hello, pot, this is kettle. You're looking mighty black today.
Inu Yasha rolled his eyes and proceeded to head back to his tree. He loved his tree, that was the only place he could go and think, without getting bothered by anyone else. "So what if I AM?!" He retorted, although he couldn't understand what the big deal was. So he went to see Kikyo last night? So WHAT?! It wasn't a big deal....
Meanwhile, Miroku reached the edge of the well, and peered down. Nothing. Just dark blankness. "Kagome has already went back to her own time.." He sighed. "Guess its up to Inu Yasha now.." He sighed again to himself as he gazed down in the darkness. There was something wrong.. very wrong.. Something was in the well. He leaned down a little, to get a better look. A soft purple glow was seen, all the way down. Was it a shard? He leaned a bit more, trying to get a closer look.
"Heeey, Miroku!" Shippou exclaimed, leaping up onto the startled Miroku's back, although that sudden addition of weight caused the monk to teeter, and reach for the well's walls, staff flying in the other direction.
"Shippou! Get off!" He exclaimed, but it was too late... Miroku was too off balance, and soon, the monk found himself falling headfirst into the dark well. Shippou screamed, hopping off the monk and landing on the wall himself.
"Miroku!" He called down into the well, but heard no reply. The strange glow seemed to vanish for now. The kitsune youkai began to panic, and soon ran back to tell Inu Yasha and Sango what happened. "Ohh... this is horrible! He could be badly injured!" He ran and ran and ran as fast as he could, and as luck would have it, ran into Sango first. "Sango! I'm glad I found you! Its Miroku!"
The demon slayer nearly dropped her weapon, since she was in the process of putting it on for the day. "Whaaat?" She blinked at Shippou. "If this is a joke, I'm going to bash BOTH your faces in..." Shippou shook his head so many times and so quickly, he ended up feeling dizzy and falling over.
"He did! I saw him! He fell down the well! And he's not replying back to me!"
Sango frowned heavily, before adjusting her large boomerang on her shoulder. "Alright. Go get Inu Yasha. I'm going to go see what happened to Miroku." She began to worry, and this was evident on her facial expression, lines creased into her forehead. Without a moment's glance, the warrior ran towards the direction of the well, summoning Kilala to get there quicker. On the back of the large cat/fox youkai, the two were off, at a much quicker rate.
Shippou, meanwhile, sweatdropped. "Talk to Inu Yasha?" He bit his bottom lip, tail wagging nervously behind him. "But... but he's so angry right now! He might yell at me!" His hands grip the sides of his head. "Ohhhh! This is too much! Poor Kagome! I hope she's alright..."
*~[In the Modern Era]~*
Kagome kneeled next to the grey stone well, hands burying her face. She sobbed to herself, not caring about whether or not her school uniform would get dirty. Her heart was, like so many times before, shattered into a thousand pieces, much like the Shikon no Tama was, so long ago. "Oh, Inu Yasha.." She whispered to herself, hair sticking to her cheeks as she pulled her hands back. "You're such a fool... don't you know that Kikyo is dead? And yet... you still treat her better than I do... even though she's only clay and magic.." She sniffed, rubbing her nose on the back of her hand. "Its not fair.. I hate being Kikyo's reincarnation! Thats the only good you see in me, isn't it, Inu Yasha..." She punched the dirt. "If only you would stop to think about me for a chance! I'm sick of always worrying about you... Its been two years... isn't that enough?"
It had been two years. Kagome had managed to get into high school, finally, after months of being apart from the others in the feudal area. But, when she returned, she was disappointed that nothing seemed to change. They were still looking for the shards, and the only ones who missed her was everyone minus Inu Yasha. He didn't seem to care at all that she returned, nor that she was missing. So, she wanted to have a nice evening picnic with him, to catch up... but he left her, having stood her up to meet up with Kikyo. Angry tears leaked from her eyes more, her voice hoarse from crying so much.
Suddenly, she felt the presense of magic. It wasn't like Shikon magic, but instead, it was... different. The sound of someone grunting was heard, followed by a.. "Stupid well... stupid Shippou.. Hey! A little help!" Kagome blinked several times, recognizing the voice right away.
"Miroku? Is that you?" She stood up, yelling down into the well. Silence was heard, for a long time.
"Kagome? But... how..."
"Hold on a second! I'll help you out of there!" Kagome furrowed her brows as she decended into the well. How did Miroku follow her here? Only her and Inu Yasha are able to pass between the two eras that linked them together. Miroku looked up slightly, a smile crossing his features as he watched Kagome climb down, getting a nice view up her skirt.
"Its okay! Take your time!" He called up to her, grinning.
