Chapter 1#....................INTO THE WOODS..............................................................

....."Why not!?....there's NO way? At all?...Urggh! I hate you!"........

You could hear the sound of foot steps running up the stairs, then the hard slam of a door. If you listened closely you would also be able to hear the heavy squeak of a bed that has had someone flop down on it. Then a muffled crying could be heard.

Following those sounds, was another pair of foot steps hurriedly rushing up the stairs, and then pounding on a locked door.

"Kagome? Kagome unlock you're door right now! Kagome you might not like it now, but you will get used to it as you go on. Now come out and ta-"

"NO! You Bitch! GO AWAY! I HATE the sound of your voice!"

"Kagome Lei Higurashi! Don't you dare speak to me in that tone of voice! I know at this age you want to rebel and all but I-"

"SHUT UP, AND GO AWAY!!!"

........................"It doesn't change the fact that we are still moving".....

Then there was silence.

"Oh Kagome-dear! You see that pretty blue one up ahead? That's our house!"

"Oh joy... hope it burns down..."

"Kago-honey, doesn't this archway of trees, give this pathway a magical feel, ne?"

"MmOOOoom! Souta's getting cookie crumbs on my side of the seat...oh not to mention, that 12 straight hours of driving in a 4-seater car, has driven me to insanity!" (No pun intend)

After about 10 full minutes of arguing, the car fell silent with a sigh from its passengers.

Kagome pouted, crossed her arms, and just stared out the window, wishing she was back in New York...instead of moving to stupid Virginia. (No offence to anyone who might live there!) 6

She watched the archway of trees zoom by in a blur, but a small patch of white and red, which contrasted with the greens and browns of the trees, caught her eye.

Kagome pressed her nose and forehead to the window....it was a person, thought she couldn't tell its gender. For the figure had long hair, but a sleek masculine build. It was sitting on a thick tree branch, and what seemed to be, reading a book.

But she blinked...And it was gone.

She had to admit, the new house was very pretty, with archways, and stone paths. But the interior decorator seemed to be stuck in the 1800"s.

She didn't know what it was, but something was missing. Her younger brother Souta, reminded her, of what it was; "WHAT! No TV! No phone! No computer! No game cube! What the heck is this world coming to?!?!"

"Souta-honey, calm down. We have all of that but we just haven't unpacked it yet."

"Yeah Souta, chill, hey mom? Can we start unpacking now?!"

With most of the furniture unpacked, and a few decretory things placed here, and there, the house was beginning to look more modern. Although the walls were still barren, the fridge was empty, and they didn't have cable at the moment, it was home.

It had grown late at night when Kagome had woken up from her doze-off on the couch. (Old, boring soap-operas can do that to yah')

She decided it was time to take a quick bath and jump into bed. When slowly climbing up the stairs, she began to wonder...."Do they even have a bath in this old ancient house!?!" "I'm not gonna take a shower in some barrel!!"

But to her relief, she opened the bathroom door, to find a sparkly new, modern shower, tub, toilet, and sink. "Thank god, I though I would have had to go outside, every time I wanted to pee!"

She watched the water as it fell from the shower head, checking the temperature with her hand before stepping in.

A now squeaky clean Kagome emerged from the bathroom. Dressed in kitty- print pajamas, she took a running start from down the hall, and bust into her bedroom, flying to land in a belly-flop, on her bed.

She cuddled closer to her pillow, and was satisfied when she heard the old springs still jumping about in her mattress. She had had the same bed since she was 8, and now at 16 she still found it comfy, so why bother throw it away?

Her head sunk into the pillow, and her eyes began to close. As she boarded the boat to dream land, she didn't notice the glowing amber eyes, which watched her from the foot of the bed.

Open windows and the sun had woken her up early that morning. She rolled out of bed, stumbled down the stairs, and walked a crooked path toward the breakfast table.

Milk dribbled down her chin as she spooned the sugar loaded cereal into her mouth, When she heard laughter at her uncoordinated feeding, she assumed, and threw the empty cereal box at her younger brother Souta who had just finished eating his waffles.

"Hey! whatcha do that for?!"

"For laughing at me, you little jerk!"

"But I didn't! The only reason I would laugh at you now is cause of the way you look...did you even brush your hair yet?"

"Clang"... The spoon hit the floor, after it had made contact with Souta's head.

She had been sitting, upside down, head hanging off the edge of the bed. Arms, crossed, board to death. There was nothing to do. A small light bulb went of with a ding, when she just happened to remember the colors red& white.....but why?

Remembering, she got up and began to get dressed.

Leaving through the back door, she stepped into the sun. Ponytail swaying side-to-side, as she bounded down the stone steps. Strolling past broken down fountains, she peered inside to find the base, cracked and weathered.

Further along the path she came upon a wildly growing garden. Its plants had not been trimmed in decades, so she had to fight to clear a path. While thrashing by a rose bush, she stopped to pick a small, opening bud, using it as a decoration for her hair.

The stone path merged with the archway of trees.

Kagome ran her hand along the base of an ancient tree, the sun was hot, and the shade from the leaves felt cool on her bare back. She squinted, and walked further on.

Wandering aimlessly, in-and-out, between the trees, and as she was looking upward for the familiar colors of red, and white, she did not seem to realize that she was traveling farther away from home.

Absolutely exhausted from the heat, constant walking, and the lack of water, Kagome collapsed under a random tree. Sprawled out, her hand hit something...

Buried under fallen leaves, she found a book.

"Hey this was the book that she-, he-...it was reading!"

Looking closely at it, she discovered that the book was written in some foreign language. Therefore she could not read it.

She was flipping through the pages, when her reading sun light was blocked.

Kagome looked up at the figure that the shadow belonged to.

"It- it- it's you!

With the fact that their faces, were within inches apart, Kagome was able to label the mysterious figure as a boy, and a cute one at that!

"Yes, it's me... though I haven't seen you before. May I please have my book back, I was at a really interesting page, now if you don't mind."

The boy reached down and impatiently grabbed to book from Kagome's hands.

She felt his hand, and knew that he was real. "This is not a dream!" "But he was so cold?..."

With a short head nod, as thanks the boy turned, and opened his book.

"Oi wench! You lost my placing mark!" (Bookmark is what he means) "No matter, I'll find it again... no thanks to you." he said with an over the shoulder glance.

He then slightly bent his knees, and leaped about 10 ft into the air, to land securely on a branch above. Kagome's eyes literally popped out of her head. She looked around to see if there was anyone else around who had also seen the trick she had just witnessed.

But as she looked around, to only find that it was her and the boy alone. She looked up to locate the boy within the foliage, but she couldn't even catch a glimpse of his silvery-white hair.

"Hello? Boy? Will you answer me I know you're there!?" Kagome got up to her feet, and stepped back a step, so she would be able to see above the branch.

"Hey I just wanted to know your n-...name?"

To her amazement, there was no one on the branch.
