"Don't go near the well." InuYasha had heard it every day. For some reason, his mom was paranoid he'd go to some shrine he'd never been to and fall into the Bone Eater's Well.

"Whatever," he said. He ignored his mother and ran down the street. He thought about the legend of the well. He never really listened to it. Something about some Kagome girl, a dog demon, and a jewel or something. Kasumi, his only friend, told him that she found it on the web. Speaking of Kasumi…

"InuYasha!" she called running to him. He slowed down for her. "I found something cool about that legend! They say if you jump down the Bone Eater's Well, you'll end up five hundred years in the past! Cool, huh?"

InuYasha sighed and shook his head. "Yeah, cool." Kasumi obviously like him more than he liked her.

"Let's check it out!" Kasumi made a sharp turn and approached a shrine through a cut in the woods.

"Hey! Wait!" InuYasha scratched his head and hurried after her. Something told him to stop suddenly. He turned and see a giant tree with some kind of scar on it. The name "Kikyo," a name he didn't know, popped into his mind. He ignored the strange feeling and followed Kasumi before she was out of sight.

"Here we are!" Kasumi said happily. She motioned to a well. InuYasha stared down.

Don't go near the well.

Something told him to listen to his mother. He turned to walk away without another word when Kasumi yelled at him.

"Hey, you!" she shouted. "You hate school, don't you? Let's just skip a little bit of it, okay? Let's jump down and see what happens!" She swung her leg over the ledge and jumped.

"Hey!" InuYasha rushed over to the edge and heard a thump.

"Um…" Kasumi's voice echoed from the dirt floor. "Nothing happened." She climbed up the roots growing on the wall with a disappointed expression. "Ah, well."

"Legends are stupid, anyway," InuYasha huffed. Kasumi started walking ahead of him. Suddenly, it was as if time stopped. He started hearing things in his head.

My name isn't Kikyo! It's Kagome! Ka. Go. Me!

Die, InuYasha!

Sit, boy!

What if you were to become human?

He continued to stare. What was this? He heard two girls. Did he know them? One sounded like Kasumi but they both sounded all too familiar.

Come back soon, okay?

That one girl (the non-Kasumi one) spoke. InuYasha couldn't explain, but he felt a connection towards the well. Kasumi noticed he stopped and turned to him.

"Something wrong?" she asked worriedly. InuYasha ignored her and hesitantly put his hand on the edge of the well. More voices. Different voices.

Mother, what's a half-demon?

Oh, InuYasha…

The second one… wasn't that his mom? Kasumi had experienced something as well. When he touched the well, his clothes were different. Gold eyes. Silver hair… Dog ears?! What in the-

Kasumi rubbed her eyes and looked again. Her friend once more had black hair, brown eyes… and, of course, human ears. But then…

"Something's weird about this," InuYasha mumbled. There was one thing he could do. He jumped down the well. Kasumi was about to call out to him, but he didn't hear. At first, the fall was normal. But then he saw Kasumi in strange clothes, from some other time period.

She was saying something, but he didn't hear. He was focused on her wounds and that arrow she was pointing at him. Before he knew it, the arrow was in his chest. There wasn't any pain. The image was gone and…

BONK!

He hit the ground head first. He sat up and rubbed his head.

"That… That was stupid," he told himself. He climbed up the vines. "Hey, Kasumi? Still there?" No answer. She must've left. He reached the top, climbed out and realized that there was some kind of village in the distance. What was that abo-

He never finished his thought. A pain pierced his side and he whipped around. Was that what he thought it was? A giant snake?! It tried to launch itself at InuYasha again when an arrow whipped by and struck it. The spider instantly disintegrated. InuYasha leaned against the well for support and looked behind him to see who it was. At first he thought it was the girl from that vision.

But he could tell it was another girl.

"InuYasha?" she whispered lowering her bow. "Is that really you?"

"Um…" At first he looked around to make sure she wasn't calling for someone else.

"They said you'd forget about me," she said gently. "Don't you know me?" InuYasha shook his head.

"It's me," she said. "Kagome."
