Rei rose from her bed and stared out of the window as the sun ran into the blue, clear sky. It was the start of a new day, a new school and a new life.

"Rei! Your going to be late for school!,"

"I'm going!," She shouted back in annoyance. "And stop yelling it's so early!," Rei walked to the front gates of the school and stared at it for a few minutes before walking inside.

"Hey Kagome!,"

Kagome turned to her friends, Eri, Ayumi, and, Yuka. "Morning everyone," Kagome greeted her friends with smiles. They began their normal conversations with them teasing about Hojo's love for her.

"Did you see the new girl yet?,"

"No I haven't seen her,"

"What's she like?,"

"A new girl?," Kagome turned to her friends. "You haven't heard, She just moved here from out of nowhere and her grandfather owes a shrine, It's called Hikawa Shrine," Eri stated.

Kagome looked up. "I remember that place, isn't it in the outskirts of town," Yuka asked.

"Yeah, apparently her grandfather decided to reopened it, it's a popular shrine," Ayumi continued.

"There she is!," Eri shouted. "And she's talking to Hojo,"

They looked at the girl there mouth gaped in awe. Her hair is long and black her eyes a dark violet color.

"She's pretty!," Ayumi pointed out. Kagome and her friends stared at her for a while.

"I've heard you've just moved here recently, You can call me Hojo, may I ask your name?," Rei smiled a little. "Yes, My name is Rei Hino,"

"Well I can show you where our class is-," She lifted her hand up to stop him.

"Thanks but that's okay, I can do it myself," She said walking past him

"She turned him down,"

"Poor Hojo,"

During Lunch, Rei sat in the back of the class room reading a book, Kagome tapped her lead pencil onto her note pad repeatedly until it finally snapped. 'I have no idea what I'm doing!' She stared harshly at several math problems on her notebook. Rei stood up from her seat in the back of the classroom as she began to walk towards the door she stopped as she noticed Kagome struggling on the math problems.

"Do you need help?," She asked looking over Kagome's shoulder. Kagome turned and looked up at her. "Really!? You know how to do this kind of math?," Kagome's eyes began to glitter with hope

"Yes," Rei pulled a chair from a desk next to them and sat next to Kagome. She quickly began instructing Kagome step by step how to finish her math assignment. Her friends walked inside the class room and watched the two.

Kagome slowly handed her assignment in with the teacher. He carefully looked over the paper before looking up at Kagome and she swallowed the lump in her throat.

Rei watched the archery club, for what seemed like forever, It had been awhile since she had shoot an arrow. Rei turned and walked away.

The bell rang and the class began to leave. Her teacher stood up as well. "Um…Kagome, Rei could you two stay back," They just glanced at each other before walking up to him.

"Rei you helped Kagome get a perfect score on her homework, Her grades are kind of slipping,"

"Don't tell her all of that," Kagome sighed, of embarrassment. "Do you get sick a lot Kagome?," Rei asked. "So-Something like that,"

"It's okay Kagome don't be afraid to ask for help," Her teacher said. "Rei could you help Kagome catch up on her school work,"

"You mean tutor her?,"

"Yes,"

"I could but that's Kagome's choice,"

"Yes!," Rei sighed and sweat dropped from her forehead.

Rei walked with Kagome towards her home. "Kagome how often are you ill?,"

"Ah…um every now and then,"

"Alright I'll do my best to make sure the homework easy,"

"Thanks I really appreciate it,"

They got to a large set of stairs. "You live at a shrine?,"

"Yeah it's my families shrine," she said as they walked up the steps. "Yeah, the Higurashi shrine,"

"So are you a priestess Kagome?," Kagome blushed and cupped her cheek. "Me? Yes, I the powers of a priestess,"

"The powers of a priestess?,"

"Ah I mean…Your family owns a shrine to right?,"

"It belongs to my grandfather, The Hikawa shrine," Kagome opened the door to her home. "Make yourself comfortable," She smiled.

"Thanks,"

"I'm home!," Kagome shouted. Rei watched as her family members smiled their greeting to Kagome.

"Hi Sis,"

"Welcome home Kagome, oh who's your friend?," A woman with short dark hair walked up to them with a smile. "Nice to meet you, My name is Rei Hino,"

"Rei this is my mom, that's my brother Sota, and, my grandpa," Rei bowed before taking off her shoes. Kagome took her off as well and they entered the house. "We can go to my room to study,"

"Alright,"

"Um…Rei are you staying for dinner?," Rei turned to Kagome's mother. "I think it will all depend on how long Kagome and I will be studying,"

"Well if you're here when dinner is ready your welcome to join us," Rei blushed a bit. "Thank you,"

'It must be nice to have a family like this'

Sitting at Kagome's desk Rei and Kagome went over all of the subjects Kagome was struggling in. 2 whole hours had passed since they started and Kagome was getting it. Rei smiled at Kagome, her concentration good. 'She's really determined huh'

A knock came at the door and Sota came in along with a small cat. Something snapped and Sota and Rei both turned to Kagome. 'What was that sound? Her concentration breaking?,'

"Sis! Dinner is ready wah-!," Kagome threw a small pillow she was sitting on at her bedroom door. "Alright!," Rei sighed. 'She's got quite the temper too'

Rei sat across from Kagome at the dinner table. Suddenly she quickly started to argue with her brother, while her grandfather was talking about evil spirits and demons from another era.

"don't worry they're always like this," Her mother giggled. Rei looked at her and back at the three.

"A family that bickers like this shows how close they are right,"

"I agree, to me they're saying I love you," Her mother said.

After helping Kagome study and the dinner Rei stood at the door with her shoes on and Kagome stood be hide her smiling. "Rei thanks a lot, I really hope my grade rise,"

"It's alright, I'm happy to help, I'll see you later Kagome," She said leaving the house and closing the door be hide her.

Rei stopped in her tracks when she felt a sudden presence. She turned to the small shrine. She ignored the feeling and hurried home.

~The next day~

Rei sat in her seat in class. The teacher was doing attendance until he got to Kagome. "Is Kagome absent again?," Rei turned to Kagome's chair and she suddenly felt nervous, she suddenly saw Kagome's smiling face. 'She didn't look sick last night, maybe I should go check on her after school'

After school Rei walked to Kagome's home. She saw her grandfather sweeping the steps and she stopped. "Hello," He looked up and smiled. "Hello Rei,"

"Is Kagome alright she wasn't at school,"

"Um…yes she's ill so she's resting,""Oh, can I go see her?,"

"No! We don't want you to get ill,"

"Yeah…I guess, I'll come back some other time," Rei turned to leave but she stopped when she felt another presence. She glared at the shrine again. It felt like it was calling out to her. "I'll come back later," Rei turned away and walked down the stairs.

~That night~

Twisting and turning in her bed and her entire body sweating and suddenly getting heat flashes. Her dream was getting more and more intense.

She was falling through a black hole, she heard people shouting for help and screaming. "Demons! Someone help!"

Rei sat up and she was trying to catch her breathe. "Not again…What's going on?," She covered her face and wiped her sweat away from her forehead. "That shrine…,"

It was Sunday and Rei was going to see Kagome again. She walked up the stairs and she approached the door. She rang the door bell several times, when no one answered, Rei turned to leave then the shrine caught her eye. Rei sighed and walked towards the door of the shrine. She opened it and was surprised to see a well in the center of the shrine. She reached into her skirt pocket and pulled out a sacred sutra. Rei walked closer to the well and inspected the out side of it. It looked like a normal run down well, so why did she feel this aura emanating from it. "I'll have to get closer," Rei said and looked inside the darkness before inhaling and exhaling. She jumped over the top and inside of the darkness.

Rei blinking and looked up at the top of the well. She noticed sunlight and the sound of birds. Rei looked around and caught a ladder of vines. She quickly climbed it and as soon as she stepped foot on the grass her breathe was stolen and she couldn't speak. "Where am I?," She looked. A rustling caught her eye. She turned to the sound and a little girl with black hair crawled from the bushes with blood on her. Rei gasped as the girl weakly groaned in pain. Hurrying over to her she lifted up the girl. "Help…My mom and brother…Our village," Rei heard shouting and the cries of help. She held the girl in her arms and ran towards the shouting. Rei jumped out of the bushes and her eyes widened at the sight of demons attacking people, the huts were on fire and some villagers were attacking the demon with spears and arrows. Rei frowned as a little boy was crying over his mothers dead body. Rei hide the girl be hide a tree and turned to the village looking for something she could use as a weapon. Her eyes caught a bow and a quiver full of arrows. She ran to them and grabbed them. She aimed the arrow at the closest demons. She shot the arrow and it shined a sky blue color. The demon roared and disintegrated. She shot another and another, she began to run out of arrows and pulled her sacred sutras from her skirt pocket and threw them, then one by one they noticed her. "A priestess!," They started to fly away from her and she continued to throw the sutras at the remaining demons.

The villagers began to come out of hiding and saw all the demons had gone. They ran out of wherever they had hidden and surrounded her.

"Miss are you a priestess?,"

"Look at her strange clothing,"

"She's so pale, is she human,"

"Of course she is," Rei felt her brow twitch. She felt a strong grip on her leg. She looked down and noticed the girl she had saved earlier. "Thank you!," She said with tears in her eyes. Rei smiled and touched the small scar on her temple. She winced and Rei kneeled down. "We should bandage you right away," She smiled.

The villagers quickly began to rebuild huts and help the wounded. "Young lady," An older man with a cane walked over to her weakly. "You are the woman who saved our village?," She stood up from bandaging the young girls wound. "Um…Yes,"

"Please I beg you once more to keep our village safe," He quickly got on his knees and bowed his head. "Master Aoi!," several men gathered around him. "You don't have to beg," They looked up at her. "Of course I'll help,"

"Really?!," The young girl shouted and jumped up from her sitting position in excitement. "You will?! We will give you as much as you want, since the demons destroyed our village we don't have much to give," Rei lifted her hand to stop him. "It's fine, No charge,"

They stared at her in surprise. Rei sighed and looked at her hands. 'What am I getting into? But back then, I was able to defeat those demons with mere arrows…I guess grandpa's teaching helped better than I thought it would maybe I can find a way home too'

"Alright, I need as many arrows as you can find and another bow please,"

"Yes!," Several men and children looked through the village and found some arrows and hidden bows under the wreckage. Soon enough there was at least 15 arrows and two bows in front of her. "If that's all you could find then I am going to have to be careful,"

"Young Lady there is a cave not far and that's where those terrible demons live," Rei nodded and a man hurried and brought a horse over. "Let me go with you," The elderly man said.

"Master Aoi it's dangerous! Especially since your illness has-,""Silence! If I die it will, I will only die for my village not in some bed, looking pathetic!," The villagers all hung there head as there leader got onto the horse and Rei following him with her arrows inside her quiver. And her bow in hand.

"Alright let's go get those demons," He shouted and they rode off into the forest. The villagers watched them leave, With hope of survival.
