A/N: So, everybody, this is the fanfic we have all been waiting for! I finally got the first few chapters done, so I will put them up so that you can read them and review. Please remember to review! Pretty please? I really want to be able to continue this story but I can't if no one wants to read it, so…yeah. Anyway, the story behind this chapter:

I got many of the ideas from my good buddy Krista, or as I like to call her, Inu-Krista! (there's a story to that name, but that's for another time and place!) Thanks for the help Krista!

Disclaimer: I don't own the awesome-ness that is Inuyasha.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and saw… a white sky? And gray trees? What was wrong with this picture? Everywhere she looked, everything was in black and white. Even her clothes were shades of gray.

I can't move my arms, she complained mentally. Why am I all tied up? Wait… This is a railroad! Ah! And that's a train!

She frantically evaluated her situation. It was all being played out like a black and white silent movie, complete with the piano chase music in the background. She was tied, arms and legs, with a rope, to a railroad track, only she was parallel to the tracks instead of lying across them. A steam engine was rushing at full speed towards her, the conductor, who just so happened to be Naraku the Monkey Man, leaning out of the open cab and laughing insanely while blowing the train's whistle, although you couldn't hear either over the piano music.

Haven't I seen this before in an old Disney cartoon? Kagome thought. Now, all I got to do is wait for the hero guy to come and rescue me… Any day now… Looking around, she spotted Inuyasha sitting in a nearby tree, ready to pounce when the train was near enough.

"HEY! HURRY UP AND SAVE ME!" she tried to shout to him, before she realized that she couldn't talk due to the lack of character voices in the 20's when these kinds of movies/cartoons were made. She heaved a sigh or relief when he finally jumped from his branch and swung into Naraku, crashing them both into the conductor's booth.

As far as Kagome could tell, a big fight was going on between the two men, but the train never slowed. Actually, she could have sworn it started to get faster as the time passed.

As it began to get too close for comfort, Kagome decided it was up to her to save her sorry butt.

Just as she was about to roll off of the tracks, the train zoomed right over her head, coming dangerously close to cutting her nose clear off. For a minuet or so, all she could see was this blur of grayish-blackness. Finally, when it had passed, Kagome just laid there, wide eyed, not believing that she was nearly killed by a runaway locomotive, and Inuyasha was still there, fighting Naraku in the conductor's cab.

Kagome stood up, not noticing how the ropes carelessly slid off her as she walked away from the tracks. All she could think of at the moment was how that dope of a hero, Inuyasha, could be so careless as to let her get almost run over by a train. Oh just wait till I get my hands on that— Her thoughts abruptly ended as she fell of a small cliff and smacked face first into…

Her bedroom floor.

Kagome sat up grudgingly and rubbed her sore face, which was red from its collision with the floor. She slowly rose to her feet and swiped the clock off of her nightstand, holding it close to her nose for her sleepy eyes to read.

"What the—7:35? On a Saturday?" She groaned and set the clock back in its original place. "I can't get back to sleep. That's bad. And I'm all sweaty thanks to that wonderful dream I just had. That's also bad. Maybe I'll go take a bath… Yeah, a bath sounds good. That's a good energy booster if I ever knew one. I'll be refreshed and ready to head back to the Feudal Era later."

BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!

"EEE!" Kagome nearly leapt out of her skin when her alarm clock suddenly began to ring in her ear. "Ah! Didn't I shut that thing off last night?!" The monotonous ringing got louder. Apparently not.

~*~

The warm steamy bath felt awesome after Kagome's rough morning. She even had a never-fails stress-relieving system for relaxation in the tub. She would let herself soak for a few minuets, then would pick up her handy romance novel and read a chapter or so before putting it down, lathering her self up with soap, and then sitting and soaking for another few minuets. This entire process repeated itself for nearly an hour. Then her hands got all wrinkly like raisins, and she had to force herself out of the tub to avoid becoming a full out prune.

Kagome stepped out of the bath, grabbing a towel and wrapping it securely around herself before heading out the door to get back to the room. For the moment, everything was just dandy because she was all loosened up and full of spunk and energy thanks to the nice and refreshing bath. Then, out of the blue, just as she was about to walk out the door, she slipped on a wet bar of soap that lay randomly on the floor and fell flat on her back.

"Owww…"

"Smooth move, Sis," Souta taunted from the hall. He casually walked by, not even bothering to glance inside to make sure Kagome was all right.

"Shut up!" she snapped back for her spot on the floor.

After having dried herself off and choosing a comfortable outfit to wear the rest of the day, Kagome walked down the hall towards the stairs, a book in her nose. Of coarse, when there is a book shoved in your face, you can't see everything around you. So, as fate would have it, the fat cat, Buyo, decided to sit right in front of the steps at the exact moment Kagome's foot came down to make her decent.

Buyo screeching and taking off, throwing Kagome totally off balance and sending her crashing down the stairs, where she hit the wall at the bottom with a loud thud followed this.

Lucky for Kagome, the fall didn't break her neck, but she did get up with some serious back pains. "Not my morning," she groaned.

As soon as she walked through the kitchen door and passed by the dining room table, she once again slipped on some foreign object and landed hard on her butt with a screech.

"What in the—" She examined the substance that littered the kitchen floor and was shocked to find ramen. Everywhere! Only one person could be responsible for such a mess.

"INUYASHA!!!!"

The hanyou entered the kitchen from outside, where he had been lounging in a shady tree.

"What's all the yelling for?" he asked, standing over Kagome and staring down at her. "And why are you on the floor?"

Kagome angrily stood up and pointed at the mess of ramen. "THIS is the reason I am on the floor, that you very much!" she yelled. "Why exactly is there RAMEN all over the FLOOR?!"

Inuyasha followed her finger to the pile of noodles and shrugged. "Oh. That. I had some ramen earlier. Your mom had made some for me. I guess I ate a bit too hastily, eh?"

Inuyasha laughed, but Kagome could not find any hilarity in it what so ever, not after this crappy morning she had had. You could literally see the smoke billowing out of her ears as her face grew bright red.

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" she screamed in Inuyasha's face, causing him to shrink away in fear.

"It was an accident! I'm sorry!" he said defensively.

"I HAVE NEARLY KILLED MY SELF THIS MORNING WITH ALL THESE LITTLE ACCIDENTS!" She huffed and pointed to the door leading outside, towards the shrine that housed the Bone Eater's Well. "Go back to the feudal era and wait for me there! I should only be another couple of hours getting supplies and stuff from the store! Otherwise, keep away from me until I get there!"

"Fine! Sheesh!" Inuyasha tuned and stormed off towards the well, muttering something about a "Stupid Wench" that has "temperamental issues."

Kagome's Grandfather nodded his head gravely as Kagome told everyone over breakfast how she had managed to fall four consecutive times that morning.

"It is a bad omen," he concluded. "Something bad is to happen today, I just know it! Kagome, you should stay inside today. Just in case."

"No way, Grandpa." Kagome shook her head, annoyed. "Stop being so suppositious. I'm just having a bad…awful…TERRIBLE morning!"

"I'm sure they day will get better as it goes," Kagome's mother said with a smile. "Kagome, didn't I hear you tell Inuyasha that you would be there in a few hours? You should get whatever shopping you need to do done now, so that you can go as soon as possible."

"Yeah, your right Mom." They continued eating in silence, until Kagome broke it with mouthful of food. "Hey, this is good. What is it?"

"Oh, it's the stuff I found in this blue container in the refrigerator."

Souta choked on the mouthful of food he had and spit it promptly all over the table. Ignoring the screams of protest from Kagome, he turned and gaped at his mother. "Mom… you didn't use the one labeled 'B.R.G.' did you?"

"Why, yes, I believe so. Why?"

He grew pale. "Mom! That's my science experiment!"

Kagome and Grandpa spit out the food that they had in their mouths. Grandpa took a long swig of juice to clear his mouth, and Kagome leaped up out of her chair, screaming and wiping at her tongue with a napkin.

Kagome could feel her stomach get queasy, but curiosity got the better of her. "Souta, what does 'B.R.G." stand for, exactly?"

He smiled evilly and looked at the blue container now sitting secluded on the counter. "Bacteria on Rat Guts," he said.

Kagome ran to the bathroom to throw up.

~*~

Any other day, the morning light shining down on her back, accompanied by a soft breeze, would have been enough to lift Kagome's spirits. But this was no ordinary day. This was a awful day. As a matter of fact, this day just plain sucked, in Kagome's eyes.

Lady Luck was definitely not on Kagome's side today at all. As she walked slowly down the side walk, headed towards the nearest convenience store, she just so happened to slip on a banana peel, sending her, for the fifth time that day, flat on her butt. To add to the embarrassment, a group of young kids across the street pointed and laughed. This was the kind of thing that was only supposed to happen to poor saps on the T.V., not to innocent middle-school girls just trying to survive each day with the powers of a reincarnated miko.

Kagome didn't bother to get up from her spot on the ground. She pounded her fists in the cement and screamed out in frustration. "I SWEAR! I will NOT live through this day! SOMETHING, ANYTHING, just KILL ME NOW!"

As if the gods themselves were answering her pleads, a boy on his bicycle began to peddle his way around the street corner towards Kagome. Neither saw each other.

Then it all seemed to happen in slow motion. The boy suddenly spotted Kagome sitting in front of him and screamed "Look out!" Kagome whipped her head around and stared in horror at the boy trying to skid his bike to a stop. Then, the bike and Kagome met in a head-on collision.

The last thing she saw was a big black rubber tire smacking her in the face. Too bad she couldn't even remember that much when she woke up in a hospital bed that evening.

A/N: Okay, I know this first chapter was really weird, but I tried. These were all ideas we came up with while sitting on the sidelines in gym class, so I know they are a little strange, but I promise the rest of the story will be better! Don't back out on me yet! I'm putting this up in school so I have to wrap it up but please review, and I'll have up the next chapter as soon as I can.
