Chapter One

Down the Well

Disclaimer

C: I Chloe, hear by declare that I do NOT own Inuyasha, as much as I want to...

K: -Hugs- It's okay Chloe we can still be friends. We can sit -crash in background- Inuyasha together.

C: -snickers-

The sound of cars, and city life buzzed in my ears. Cars making pollution, people walking, going about their business. The distant chime of the 3 o'clock bell reached my sensitive ears. Kagome should be getting home soon. I absentmindedly thought as I swept the steps to the shrine. Even after being here for almost a month, I still couldn't shake the feeling of out-of-placeness. In France my home, there were demons, elves, fairies everywhere. In all of Europe there were different 'super natural' beings. But not so in Japan, yes there was the occasional demon, but normally they were here only on business. My eyes went slightly out of focus as I remembered the tales of pre and early Meiji era of this country. Demons had started to come to terms with humans, starting to get along and live peacefully. The Meiji era changed that. Many demons were slaughtered, and the ways of the samurai abandoned. Many demons still remember and hurt from that period.

"Belina! Will you help me prepare the packs for you and Kagome? She's going back to the feudal era today. You said you would go with her." The voice of my Aunt called pulling me from my thoughts.

"Coming Auntie!" I said jumping up the many steps in a few short bounds. The good thing about being an elf, you don't have to climb stairs. I jumped up to the window of mine and Kagome's bedroom, grabbing any articles of clothing we might need. We were the same pant size, and she could fit into my shirts, I was just a couple bust sizes bigger than her, so we normally shared clothing. I walked into the bathroom, grabbing our different shampoos, conditioners, soaps and other personal items we might need. Luckily Kagome had finished the school year and was on break for a month or two, I don't really keep track, so she didn't have to bring her books with her. A few reading books were fine, but those monster things they call text books were just plain unnecessary. Especially with all the food she brings. We're bringing two backpacks this time, so hopefully they won't explode. I went down to the kitchen, walking so I didn't accidentally scare Jii-chan.

"Got everything from upstairs?" Auntie said putting some bentos into the other pack.

"Yeah, Kags can throw anything else she wants in. Hey Auntie, do you think that maybe I'll find what I'm looking for in the feudal era?" I asked sitting down at the table, even though she wasn't my real Aunt, she was my step-mother's sister, she treated me as if I was her daughter. Plus she gave amazing advice.

"That depends on what your looking for, I know you never felt quite right, here or even in France. You said other elves treated you differently, because of your red hair? Well if you ask me it's their loss. If your looking for acceptance, then you might find it there. If your looking for your other half, I think it's very possible. Anything can happen." She said turning to me with a small smile.

"Your right, I just need to do my best to protect Kagome, and not worry about things like that." I said standing up. "Kagome is coming up the stairs." I said hearing her light footsteps.

"I'm home!" Kagome called as she ran to the door.

"I know dear." Auntie said smiling putting yet more food in the back pack.

"Oh! I'll be right back, I almost forgot something. You can have this back Kagome." I said gesturing to the priestess garments I was currently wearing. "I made the perfect outfit, it'll be awesome for fighting." I said the ran up the stairs, coming down a minute or two later. Dressed in a short kimono looking outfit. It was red with a purple obi. (look on my profile for pic it's really hard to explain well.) "Now I know what your going to say, they'll think I'm a harlot, but I don't care. This looks awesome, it was hard to make." I said smiling proudly.

"Wow Belina you look amazing!" Kagome said smiling. "I'm just warning you, demons in the feudal era are very... well you'll see." (AN: aka watch out for the Koga's of the feudal era.)

"Don't worry, this elf can handle herself." I said putting out my best hero pose.

"Yeah yeah, now let's get going. Inuyasha is probably at the well waiting for his ramen." Kagome said shaking her head.

"Yes ma'am!" I said saluting, but I ended up bursting out laughing. Kagome ran upstairs to change, while I helped Auntie finish up the packs. We each took a bag when Kagome came back down the stairs. Waving goodbye we jumped down the well, going 500 years into the past.

"Oi! wench what took you so long? And who the hell is that with you?" A sliver-headed boy with doggy ears said peering over the edge of the well. He must be Inuyasha. I thought staring at him with a look of disbelief. THIS is the subject of Kagome's affections? Why does he smell like clay, and grave dirt? It's disgusting. My nose wrinkled slightly at the smell.

"I'd move if I were you, dog boy." I said grabbing Kagome so I could jump out of the well.

"Feh, like you could jump that high girl!" Inuyasha said smirking. I jumped, landing softly on the outside of the well, on Inuyasha's back. I stepped off and set Kagome down.

"Come on Belina, let's go to the village so you can meet everyone else. Just remember to watch out for Miroku's hand. He's the monk." Kagome said starting to walk towards what I assumed was the village she spoke of. I started to follow her, but stopped. I looked around wondering what could have caused the weird feeling of being watched I was getting. I shrugged it off and followed Kagome thinking about just what I was getting myself into.

-unknown person's pov.- (unknown to you but known to me :])

I followed Inuyasha discreetly, hiding my scent and aura. The pup was so unobservant. Even that Miko that traveled with him, had caught my aura a few times. I truly felt sorry for the girl, being constantly verbally abused by him. It was obvious that she was in love with him. Yet he always went off after that dead priestess. It was disgusting. In my opinion the live Miko was much better then the dead priestess. You must wonder why I call one Miko and the other one priestess. Simply because I respect the Miko. Even Sesshomaru the Lord of the West has said so. I think he has a secret crush on her. I sighed, he had just mated the dead one, and now was going to go pick up Kagome (the live Miko) from that strange well.

"Oi! Wench what took you so long? And who the hell is that with you?" The dumb boy said. Always such the charmer Inuyasha.

Who is the other girl? My beast said excitedly. I looked up to see a girl with long red hair next to Kagome. Her clothing, which consisted of a very short kimono that showed off her long legs, made her look like a harlot, but from what I had learned from observing the Inu-tachi. Kagome was from another time, which she came back and forth through the well. Apparently clothing like that was normal for them.

I have no idea beast, but she certainly is beautiful. I thought my curiosity about this girl rising higher and higher.

Hmmm Beast want her!

We've never even met her, we first saw her like ten seconds ago. I thought surprised, some people thought I was gay. Because of my disinterest in women, not that I was interested in men. My beast just was never interested, so for him to decide after less then a minute that he wants this girl is very surprising. What do you want her as a mistress or something?

No baka! Beast want her as mate! Not mistress! Beast would never disrespect her like that! Great now he was mad at me. I continued to watch the girl trying to make it so my beast wasn't mad, I agreed we would observe her, and see if she would indeed make a good mate.

I wonder what her name is...

Let's call her Tenshi.

Angel?

Yes for that is what she is.

She's an elf.

... But she is like an angel.

Fine... Tenshi. She did look like an angel, or maybe even a goddess. 'Tenshi' and Kagome started towards the village, but Tenshi stopped and looked back. She looked towards my hiding place with a confused look on her face. My beast sighed like a love-sick puppy. She ended up shrugging and turning back to Kagome.

Soon my Tenshi, we will see if you truly are as beautiful as your nickname suggests.

C: hmmm I wonder who the stalker is?

K: Wow that's kinda scary.

C: How is it scary?

K: It just is.

S: When does this Sesshomaru come in?

C: Soon. Anyways Review tell me if you liked it. Please... no flames...
