CHAPTER 1

Let's face it. Kagome's school work was taking a major dive. The whole saving feudal Japan thing was taking a lot of her time away from studying. So when her mother and grandfather heard about this extra credit student exchange thing, they pounced on it. Perhaps 'pounced' isn't the right word. What they really did was annihilate the competition in the most brutal way possible (if you thought Naraku was scary, think again). Kagome, needless to say, ended up with the extra credit project.

All she had to do was show the student to the house and an instant A would appear in the grade book. She didn't even have to be there! This meant that she could save ancient Japan and get a passable grade in school. It was so simple and foolproof that nothing could go wrong!

Unfortunately, they forgot to take into account Kagome's tendency to get into a truckload of trouble on a regular basis...

It was Saturday and Kagome was at the airport. The student from America would be here any minute, yup, any minute now.

Damn planes and their late arrivals.

"Excuse me, are you Kagome?" asked a smoky voice.

Kagome nearly jumped out of her tiny little mini skirt. How had the girl gotten behind her without her noticing?

"Yes I am, and you are . . .?"

"Calypso, sorry about startling you before."

"No problem, well let's get going." said Kagome cheerfully.

Calypso was about an inch or two taller then Kagome with blondish-brown hair in a braid. Her eyes were dark green and her skin was tan. So tan that one of her parents, or both, had to be from South America, or some other place like that. She wore loose dark jeans, a white tank top, a black leather jacket, and rimless sunglasses with blue colored lens. Calypso seemed nice and smiled easily, although her smile was kind of wolfish, hinting at a more mischievous nature.

So far Kagome discovered they had a lot in common. They both thought all men were scum, (it had been bad with Inuyasha the day before and Calypso had just broken up with her boyfriend) that school sucked, (except for history, sometimes) and that the guy with the jean jacket was a total hottie (okay, so *all* men weren't scum, just the stupid ones).

Two hours later . . .

"Kagome, what are you doing? You look like you're going to go on a year long expedition or something." asked Calypso, who was amazed by how much stuff her new friend could shove into that one backpack.

"Um, look Calypso I have to go away this weekend and I'm really, really sorry, but its very important." said Kagome.

"Sure that's okay, I'll just stay here. By the why, do you mind if I look around? I want to know what else is around here." replied Calypso, who looked slightly disappointed.

"Of course, I'm sorry I have to go though." said Kagome.

"It's alright, well I'll see you later."

"Whew. That went A LOT better then I thought it would. Inuyasha had better be happy that I'm willing to spend MY weekend with him." thought Kagome as she dragged what many people mistook for a yellow mountain toward the well.

She reached the rim and lowered herself down when . . .

"KAGOME! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" yelled Calypso as she grabbed Kagome's hand, trying to pull her back.

However, the well was quite strong and pulled both Kagome and Calypso into the vast darkness which quickly changed into a kaleidoscope of color. After about two minutes the two girls found themselves at the bottom of a seemingly normal well, if you didn't count the bones that is, or the weird time transporting thing it did. They both got themselves and the backpack out of the well.

"Kagome, what the fuck did you think you were doing?! Why were you even in there... why, what… where the HELL ARE WE?!" yelled Calypso as she noticed they weren't in modern day Japan any more.

All Kagome could think was "Oh no oh no oh no oh no OH NO!" and "Thank the GODS Inuyasha isn't here right now". This was a very bad situation. Not only would Kagome have to explain what this place was, but if any demons showed up…

"Kagome? Hello, what happened? Where are we?!" Said Calypso, finally claming down, a little (which means microscopically).

"Calypso, this um, this is very, we're in feudal Japan." squeaked Kagome, deciding this was not a time to beat around the bush.

". . . Huh?"

One syllable. Probably not a good sign.

"We are in a demon infested feudal Japan." said Kagome.

"Okay then." Calypso whispered as she fell to ground with a large 'thud'.

"Calypso, are you alright?" asked Kagome, noticing that her friend was starting to break out in a sweat.

"Not really. I think it might have something to do with the fact I have finally gone insane." muttered Calypso as her pupils started to dilate.

"She's going to throw up." thought Kagome as she pulled back Calypso's hair.

"OW!" yelped Calypso, making Kagome drop her braid.

"What the?" thought Kagome as Calypso started screaming as though she was in extreme pain.

Actually, she was. All of her bones felt like they we're shifting and her skin felt like some one had dumped molten lava on her. How long it lasted, she couldn't tell, but at some point she realized that she not longer felt as though she had been transported into the earth's core.

"What was that?" said Calypso when she had gotten her voice back, her jaw felt kind of funny.

"C-cal-calypso?" squeaked Kagome, her eyes the size of plates (which, actually, isn't much bigger then the normal anime size).

"What's wrong with me?" asked Calypso in an equally high pitched voice, not liking the way Kagome was looking at her (not many people would, it's quite creepy).

"Kagome!" yelled a male voice.

Calypso turned around and saw several sharp claws coming toward her face.
