Prologue:

The afternoon sun shone upon the abandoned well. The voices began to emerge from within it.

"Why are you here? It's too dangerous."

"It's as dangerous for you. Besides, someone needs to keep an eye on you; and keep you out of trouble."

"Shut up and get off me"

"Besides, I can't go home until you do. And I'll only be quiet if you promise to not try to leave me behind. We're friends remember? And what if something happens to you?"

"Fine, I promise not to. But this isn't fair."

"Neither is what happened to them. Now, according to uncle, they should be around here somewhere."

"I know, they're up ahead. I can sense them."

"Really? Fine, you lead."

"Do you think they'll listen to us, or help us?"

"I don't know, but I sure hope so. Kila, you stay here. We don't want to appear to suspicious."

Two figures hoisted themselves out of the well. They disappeared into the looming forest. A small cat curled up on the well's edge. It yawned, then began to sleep.

Chapter One: The Rescue:

"Sit!" Kagome screamed at the annoying dog-demon a few feet away.

As usual, Inu-Yasha fell on his face, muttering curses "you stupid girl" he spat angrily.

"Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit" she screamed angrily "I'm going for a walk" she announced.

The other three looked up from their discussion.

"Do you want some company?" Sango asked worriedly. Kagome's face presently resembled a thundercloud.

"No thanks. I need to think"

"Don't go too far. It'll be dark soon" Sango advised. She smacked Miroku on the head because his hand was too close to her body for comfort.

"I won't" Kagome promised angrily, flinging her hair out of her face.

"Wench" Inu-Yasha muttered.

"Sit"

-------------------------------------

Presently, the human girl wished that she had accepted Sango's offer. She was being chased by a strange demon.

"Inu-Yasha, help" she cried "Sango, Miroku."

She tripped, and the demon loomed over her.

"Help" she screamed.

"Demon Begone" a voice yelled. An arrow flew to hit the demon, shattering it into a million pieces "Exorcise"

Two figures stood at the forest's edge. One held a bow.

"Are you okay?" one asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, who are you?"
