DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters. I also do not own any of the songs which will be used in this fic (unless I decide to put in one of my own, in which case I will say so in the disclaimer).
My first Fanfic! I admit this probably won't be the best work I'll ever do, but everyone's got to start somewhere! We're not all perfect like some people ::glares at Sesshomaru::
Sesshomaru: I AM perfect, you worthless human.
The Almighty Penguin: Keep telling yourself that Sessho…
Kagome:::pulls Sesshomaru's tail:: Shut up Sessho. AMP, just start your story and ignore Fluffy.
AMP: Thanks Kags. And on that note, here we go…

Prologue
The stillness of the night was broken by loud sobbing echoing inside an old wooden well. A pale young woman dressed entirely in loose black clothing crawled out dragging a huge yellow backpack. She managed a few steps before collapsing to the ground in a broken heap.
"Not fair," she whispered, wrapping her arms around herself as her small body shivered. Then she began screaming.
Some distance away Sango sat up on her futon and stared into the darkness. There could be no mistake. That was Kagome screaming. She turned and locked eyes with Miroku who had also been roused. Leaving everyone else asleep, they grabbed their weapons and raced for the forest.
The screaming had stopped by the time they reached the well. Sango skidded to a stop and looked around fearfully. Miroku joined her a few seconds later, "Are we too late?"
An almost silent sob reached Sango's ears. She took a few steps toward the well her sharp eyes picking out the edge of Kagome's pack on the other side. She rushed to her friend's side and enveloped her in a tight embrace.
"It's alright Kagome," she whispered. "We're here."
