Ok, this is not only the first fanfic I've ever written, but also the first story I've ever written, and actually tried. I mean, I was forced to write stories for school, but I had no will to write them, and they sucked. So, I'm not sure how good of a writer I am, but I'm going to try

Well, this is going to be a Sess/Kag pairing, cause it's my favorite, and if you don't like that, then don't read this. I guess that's all I've got to say so I'll start the story now.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Forgotten Friendship

by cnc917

A little girl of about seven years skipped down the steps of the well on her family's property with her kitten, who was barely a month old, in her arms. She wasn't supposed to go down there, for fear that she'd fall into the well and break something, but little kids don't always listen to their parents.

She would always come to the well when she was "running away." Usually when her parents were fighting. After all, who likes to listen to their parents fight? She was certainly no exception.

Kagome didn't even bother to find out what they were arguing about this time. They fight about anything and everything: money, shopping for new clothes, what to have for dinner, what kind of cat food to buy; it was ridiculous! Kagome was sick of it. She didn't know if her parents loved each other anymore. She didn't know if they ever loved each other in the first place! They sure didn't seem like it.

She sat down on the rim of the well, and placed Buyo on her lap.

What do you think Buyo?" she asked of her kitten, "Do they love each other? Are they going to divorce?" Of course, her only answer was a content purr.

Kagome began to think about the well she was sitting on. When she was younger, she thought the well was magic. Like something would pop out of it at any moment (hehe). She didn't believe that any more, because she thought she was almost grown up, but she felt that it still had a mysterious air about it. When you look down it, you couldn't see the bottom. It just faded into darkness.

Kagome sighed. She thought to much. At least, that's what everybody tells her. They made it sound like a bad thing.

Kagome felt something scurry over her shoe. She shrieked and shook her foot, in case it was still there, and to get the feeling of it off. Buyo jumped off of her lap, startled. She saw a mouse dart into the shadows.

Unfortunately, her sudden movement put her out of balance, and she fell backward, straight into the well.

Ok, that wasn't really a cliffhanger. I mean, you already know what's going to happen. So, is it good, bad? Does it completely suck? Well, if it does, it's only the first chapter, hopefully it'll get better. Sorry if it was kinda short. It seemed like a decent place to end, and I didn't have much planned anyway. Besides, I've gotta take these thing slow, ya know? Do you think she acted kinda old for her age? Anyway, if you have any ideas, please tell me, b/c while I know the general direction I want this thing to go, I don't have very many details planned. Also, I don't mind criticism, just don't be overly rude about it. Ya know I'd love to hear from you, so please review!
