DarkPriestess66: I don't own anything except for Maria, this is a rewrite of Demons of the Past and Future.
Three years since Kagome returned the feudal era, three years since the remaining Higurashi family decided to be a host family for a foster child, that child was sixteen year old, Maria.
Maria at her reflection in the mirror, she didn't look anything like a Japanese schoolgirl, her green skirt and sailor top didn't make much different to her, she much preferred jeans and a t-shirt.
The girl was quiet, spoke only when directly asked unlike Kagome, whom married right after high school, and was living her own life with barely any visits, the story was that she moved to America.
"Come on, Maria!" Sota called, maria's eleven year old foster brother.
"I'm coming, Sota." Maria replied softly. As she tucked a strand of white hair behind her ear. She always had one strand of slivery white hair, compare to her darker brown hair. She joined Sota and walked him to his school, before going to the junior high close to the shrine.
Once the school day was over, Maria went up the shrine steps, as she didn't have to pick Sota up since he had soccer practice, she took off her shoes at the door and went up to her room, she always knew that this was just a temporary placement, and felt she would never find a family to call her own. She was trying to stay apart from this family, who often looked at her with love, as a daughter, as a granddaughter, as a sister.
She finished her homework, and went out to the sweeping, helping the old man with cleaning the shrine, once he tried to put her in a shrine maiden outfit, but she bulked at the sight, she didn't know why but that garb aways sent shivers down her spine. She thought about getting an after school job, but Mama Higurashi wouldn't have it. She wanted Maria to focus on her studies as no other foster mother did before her.
She was clearing out the well house, she wondered why there was no cover on it, this was the first time, she ever been near the well. She set aside the broom, leaving the door open, walking down the stairs, she braced herself against the wooden frame and peered into the darkness.
She didn't know that the clasp on her necklace chose that moment to break, and fall into the well. "No, my only gift from my parents." she gasped as she looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was watching, she climbed into the well, going to get her necklace back and the moment her feet touched the ground, was when her world was changed, she seen black with different color sparkles, she finally touched ground and bent to pick up her necklace, only to see blue skies. Where the roof of the well house should have been attached?
