After a botched wish on Krillin's behalf, Android 17 is banished from the DBZ realm and sent to another. Out of pure coincidence, he winds up in Feudal Japan, right into the hands of a well-known priestess. Android 17/Kagome

In Her Hands, Chapter 1: The Botched Wish

Seventeen opened his eyes.

Unlike the black void of HFIL, the sun of the Feudal Era shined brightly, various rays drifting through the listless clouds above. It was so bright that he nearly squinted, nearly. He was sprawled out on his back, lying on what appeared to be a mass of grass and vegetation. Birds flew overhead, small creatures scurried, and the smallest twitch of a rabbit's ears did not even go unnoticed.

Was this all, an illusion? Had death's confines literally driven him insane? His black barrows narrowed at the thought. Surely, time alone in the void couldn't have been enough to wear down his programming, at least he did not believe it would. This though, this looked…and felt like earth…but how? Last he recalled, he was enduring the unfortunate experience of being swallowed whole by Cell.

He almost grimaced.

That had been an unfortunate experience, but as it seemed, he survived. He didn't mind bragging, but it was expected. He was indeed the Ultimate Android, and there were no improvements to be made. However, he wasn't able at all to land a single hit against Cell, and Sixteen managed to wipe the floor with him.

This time, he did grimace.

No, this wasn't HFIL, not at all. Somehow, he was back to the land of the living that was certain. Each and every one of his scanners were online, various flickering numbers and letters flashing before his vision as he systems attempted to make heads or tails of his current predicament. There weren't any strong energy signals for what seemed to be…miles, at least not Cell's or Piccolo's. On top of which, he could not feel…her, his sister. Androids did not have energy signatures, but he always shared a bond with his twin, as cliché as it seemed.

Something was truly amiss.

His age reading scanner was continuously flickering and running with numbers but eventually ended up malfunctioning, sending the biggest red error message glaring across his vision and the loudest ringing blaring through his head. Where he was, it wasn't Age 767, no it wasn't, "…What is this?" He could not help asking aloud, finding himself finally in a sitting position.

This place, whatever it was, felt different, far different than what he was accustomed to. It wasn't the land of the dead, but it wasn't earth, it couldn't have been. The more his eyes began to roam, the more sights he began to take in. He was in a pasture of some sorts, thick trees lining all sides of it. The grass was in dire need of being trimmed, standing as tall as his legs in certain places, and then the most random and oddest of all things, a well, was at the center of it, just yards away from him. By no means did he recognized what it was, but his interior scouter alerted him of such

Strangely, a head of black hair, similar in color to his own, began to emerge. Whatever it was, was no more threatening than a poodle, by his calculations, but he wanted to be on his feet for whatever freak of nature this place decided to present before him. So, he stood, his arms folding across his chest as one of his black brows lifted in anticipation. Maybe this…thing, would be able to tell him exactly of where he was, hell, WHEN he was if he was to be frank. He had still yet to get a grasp on the age he was in.

Kagome's knuckles nearly turned white and she gripped the sides of the well to climb out. This time, her backpack was exceptionally heavy from all of the books she brought to study. If she was going to finally graduate, then she had to make up all of her passed and missed assignments, and do well on all of her tests. Between demon hunting and collecting the Sacred Jewel shards, there was little time left for studying. Now though, she'd have to make time. She made it up in her mind that she was only going to participate with her friends when they were in dire need of it. Otherwise, she planned to hang around Kaede's village for the time being, simply taking it easy.

That consisted of the occasional exorcism and searching for any shards that were in the nearby vicinity. That was it, until she passed her classes anyway. But, she never truly made it out of the well, not when she noticed the boy standing directly in front of her. She was so surprised in fact that she lost her grip, her arms flailing wildly as she yelped, but she did not fall far. It merely took a single, solitary hand of the android on the top of her yellow back pack to keep her from plunging back into the well. Her entire face beamed red then, her brows furrowing. "Uh..T-thank you."

Seventeen lifted her higher, allowing her to hang limply through the bag's straps, "Roll it back, Clumsy. Where am I?" It was a simple question, a question he wanted an answer to.

"Clumsy?!" Kagome's brow twitched at her new "nickname", "You startled me you jerk! You were the one staring like some sort of…robot." At closer inspection, the look in his eyes was just that- lifeless, lifeless and still, just like a robot's. His silence was more disconcerting than the unreadable expression on his face. Abruptly though, and to her horror, he managed a smirk.

"Tell me, before I make you." She was human, no doubt about it, human and stubborn. How anyone had patience with her, he could not compute. Still, he was never one to shy away from a game, even one as simple as this.

Kagome did not like his sudden interest. It caused her stomach to tighten, "You act like you are lost or something!" Her eyes flickered once over his attire before her confusion became clear, "…D-Did you come out of the well?" Whoever he was had sharp, piercing blue eyes, and shoulder length coal colored hair. His clothes were that of any juvenile delinquent in her era, but it wasn't possible for anyone, besides her and Inuyasha, to travel through the well…at least as far as she knew. Who the heck was this guy?
