Authors Note: Hi everyone! This is an unusual story, because it is a mix between Inuyasha and its live-action Chinese adaptation, The Holy Pearl. It takes place in Medieval Europe, because if I'm going to butcher someone's history, it might as well be my own. This is based more closely around the Holy Pearl series, but will have a much happier ending, plus I've managed to include SIT BOY! I will preface each chapter with introductions of parallel characters and their counterparts in both series, to help with any confusion.

New Characters:

Katherine "Kit" Cricket - Kagome/Yao Yao

As a side note, I don't own either Inuyasha or The Holy Pearl, but I would definitely recommend watching both series. Inuyasha is funnier, but the Holy Pearl has epic drama, additional characters, and canon SessRin (though it will make you want to rip your heart out)!

Chapter 1: Into the Stone Circle

Katherine Cricket, known to her friends as Kit, fought back a yawn as she listened to her professor lecture about Celtic mythology. Normally, the subject would have fascinated her, but this professor managed to make even selkies and werewolves sound dull and boring. It also didn't help that her father had kept her talking on the phone for hours the previous night, rambling about the amazing discoveries he and his team were finding at the dig site. Her father, a Celtic archaeologist, had been investigating a stone circle that had been discovered almost entirely buried deep in the woods near her house. After months of work, the team had most of the site uncovered. Kit smiled to herself as she remembered how ecstatic her father had sounded. Ever since she was little, Kit's dad had been searching for the next big discovery, and now, he felt that he was finally getting close.

Kit snapped back to reality as she heard her professor say something about stone circles. She eagerly picked up her pen to take notes, but everything the professor said on the subject was what she already knew. No one knows who built them, no one knows how they were built, no one knows why, yada yada yada. Kit put her pen down and sighed, reaching to fiddle with the crystal necklace her father had given her for her tenth birthday. It was a family heirloom, and was supposed to bring the wearer good fortune. If only it could get me out of this class, Kit thought sarcastically, closing her eyes.

A woman in a white dress stood in a garden of flowers next to a crystal blue lake. She nervously fiddled with a small crystal necklace. She was waiting for someone. A smile lit up her face when she heard the rustle of quiet footsteps behind her.

"You came." She looked so relieved as she turned to greet her visitor, a mysterious young man with black horns protruding from a head of silver-white hair. "I was so worried."

The woman in white smiled, reaching out to him. The strange man reached back to her, as if to take her outstretched hand. But at the last moment, his expression turned from one of adoration to one of absolute hatred. Before the woman could react, a ball of energy appeared in his hand and he flung it at her chest, where it seemed to enter her heart. The woman opened her mouth in a silent scream as she was flung backwards, the crystal slipping from between her fingers. The man smirked, picking up the crystal rolling across the grass before darting away.

"Why?" the injured woman cried out, clutching her heart and struggling to rise. "Why would you do this to me? I loved you!"

Kit woke with a gasp, blushing as she realized that the students nearest her had heard her gasp and were turning to stare. She had fallen asleep in the middle of class. Again. Lowering her head to hide her red cheeks, Kit began to focus on taking notes, despite the fact that her professor was once again spouting information she already knew. But she soon lost interest and began trying to remember her strange dream. This was not the first time she had dreamed of the woman in white, but it was the first time she had seen the man who attacked her. Kit remembered that he was handsome, but the details of his appearance had already faded from her memory.

Oh well, Kit sighed in relief as the professor dismissed them from class. It doesn't matter anyway. It was just a weird recurring dream. She gathered her books and left the lecture hall. As soon as she was outside, she checked her phone for messages. She hadn't received any texts, but the screen displayed several missed calls from her father. Kit sighed.

"What's wrong?" Kit's best friend, Cara, suddenly appeared behind her, "I saw you fell asleep in class again. Did you have another one of those freaky dreams?"

"Yeah but that's not the problem." Kit showed her the list of missed calls. "My dad wants me to get a degree in archaeology, but doesn't seem to realize that I actually have go to class to do so. I can't just leave and come to the dig site every time he finds a strange patch of dirt."

Cara looked at the phone closer at saw just how many times he had called. "I don't know, Kit. Three missed calls I can understand, but twelve? Maybe something's wrong. You should call him back."

"Wait, twelve?" Kit snatched the phone back and saw the parenthesized number next to the missed call alert.

"Anyway, I gotta go," Cara said apologetically. "I'm gonna be late for math class. Text me and let me know if anything's wrong."

Kit nodded and waved, not really paying attention as her friend left. She had already hit the call back button and was waiting impatiently for her dad to answer. The phone rang several times. "C'mon, dad. Pick up the phone."

Finally, he answered.

"Katherine! Oh thank God, I was so worried." Her dad's frantic voice came over the phone.

"What? Why?"

"Look, it's hard to explain. Can you come to the dig site?"

"Um…" Kit checked her watch. She would have to miss her next class, but her father was so worried... "Sure. I'll be there in a bit." Hanging up, she dug out her keys and rushed to her car. I wonder what could have upset him so much?

Half an hour later, Kit arrived at the edge of the woods. She parked her car, changed into her muddy hiking boots, and grabbed her excavation bag, knowing that her father would probably want her to stay and help until she had to leave for class. She then followed the path that would lead her to the dig site. She hadn't even gotten half way there when she heard a shout and saw a man running up the path toward her.

"Katherine!"

Kit's father didn't even slow down before he grabbed her in a tight hug.

"Um, dad?" Kit's voice was muffled by her father's chest. "You okay?"

The man released her from his embrace and held her at arms length, as if to check and make sure she was all right.

"Dad," she furrowed her brows. "I have been in class for the past five hours. Other than being extremely bored, I'm fine. Why on earth wouldn't I be?"

"I'm sorry, dear. I just found something at the site that made me a little worried."

"About me? What is it?" Her father took her hand.

"Come. I'll show you."

When the two of them arrived at the dig site next to the stone circle, the first thing Kit noticed was the excitement of the interns. Normally, the interns weren't actually interested in the work they were doing; they just wanted the money and the college credit. But for some reason, they were gossiping excitedly to one another. However, they stopped as soon as they saw her.

Is there something on my face? Did I get twigs in my hair? Kit wished she had brought a mirror with her, but before she could ask what everyone was staring at, her dad dragged her into the tent where they labeled and stored all the artifacts.

"Kit, this is Irene," her dad said, introducing her to the woman inside the tent. "She's with the art department at your university. I called her this morning after finding a faded portrait in a box buried near the last monolith. And, well…" he trailed off, as if afraid to continue.

Kit was getting concerned. Normally her father wouldn't shut up about the dig site, even if all he found was a shard of pottery. Now, he's actually found something important, and he can't even tell me?

"Okay, what's going on?" she demanded to know.

"I managed to restore the painting using a computer program I've been developing," Irene explained. "And I think you should take a look." She brought Kit to the laptop. Kit waited impatiently as the file loaded. It's probably some King or Queen from a long time ago. But why is dad so worried? Kit tried to figure out what it could possibly be, but none of her ideas could have prepared her for what appeared on the screen.

"But… that's me."

An hour later, Kit was walking by herself around the stone circle. Her father and his new "friend" were still trying to figure out how a picture of Kit managed to end up in a wooden box that had been buried underground for hundreds of years. Kit had gotten bored of the arguing, and a bit embarrassed by how her dad looked at Irene, and had decided to take a walk. Now she was annoyed. The portrait was probably of someone in her family who lived a long time ago; there was no reason for her father to have gotten so worried as to make her skip class. Especially since I have an essay due next week! Kit stomped her foot angrily. To her surprise, when her foot hit the ground, it kept going.

"Wha—" she cried out as the earth under her feet gave way and she fell into a cave, screaming. "Oof!" She hit the ground, hard. Rubbing her sore bottom, she tried to figure out what happened. I was sure I was far enough away from the dig site to avoid damaging anything, otherwise I wouldn't have stomped.

"Kit!" She looked up to see Irene leaning over the hole her stomp had made. "I heard you call out. Are you okay?" Irene asked, worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine! I just fell into this stupid hole."

"I'm going to get your father, stay right there!" she yelled before running off.

"Where else am I gonna go?" Kit mumbled under her breath. Well, might as well look around while I'm down here. She stood up, and tried to see what type of place she had fallen into. Unfortunately, the light from the hole she had made was not enough to see much of anything. Sighing, she was about to sit down and wait for her dad to come save her when she noticed the room suddenly getting brighter. What's going on? Kit noticed the light seemed to be coming from… her necklace? Kit pulled out her crystal necklace and saw that the stone was glowing brightly. No sooner had she noticed this than the air began to swirl around her inside the cave.

"Kit!" She heard her father call from above. The wind began swirling around her so fast she couldn't see him through the dust.

"Dad! Something's wrong!"

"Just hang on! We're coming to get you!"

Before he could lower the rope to get her out, the crystal shone brighter than ever before, and Kit's father could only watch as his daughter screamed and disappeared in a blinding flash of light.

"Kit! Kit!" He cried. "KATHERINE!"

She was gone.
