The Accident

Chapter One: The Cause

IN PRESENT TIME

"Ouch! Frikin' table! God dammit!" Kagome just stubbed her toe on her desk! She took a quick glance at her clock."Oh shit! I was supposed to meet Inu-Yasha on the other side of the well an hour ago! I slept in!" Kagome quickly slipped on her mini-skirt, pulled her shirt over her head, didn't bother to brush her teeth or her hair, struggled to pull her shoe over the bump on her foot, picked up her backpack, took a box of ramen, and left for the bone-eater's well.

IN THE FEUDAL ERA

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN KAGOME!" Inu-Yasha yelled. "We've been waiting for you! You know how impatient I get! And…whoa…what happened to your hair! Inu-Yasha had noticed Kagome's unbrushed hair. "OOOO! RAMEN! Ramen always fixes lateness!" Inu-Yasha grabbed the ramen.

"Sorry, guys. I slept in. I was out late last night on a date with Hojo," Kagome explained.

Inu-Yasha spit the ramen out of his mouth. "YOU WHAT?"

"Are you jealous of this Hojo, Inu-Yasha?" Miroku asked.

"No…maybe…yes. But not in THAT way. I'm just very concerned about the jewel…and the…uuuuummmmm…that stuff," Inu-Yasha stammered.

Lightning flashes and it starts to thunder"So, all you care about is the shikon jewel, huh?" Kagome put her hands on her hips and taps her foot.

"No! I never said that! It's just that… that… well…"

"I'M GOING HOME! AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!"

"But… all I said was…"

Kagome yelled as she went through the well, "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"

Inu-Yasha replied in his own special way, "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!"

"Inu-Yasha, do you always really need to be such an asshole?" Sango wondered.

Inu-Yasha answered, "Yeah, pretty much."
