Today, a trip to the Higurashi shrine.

Great, a day listening to that old man go on about the history of every object in sight.

I sighed. but no one noticed, my grandparents, and caretakers, were quite taken with what the old man had to say.

"Che." came a little squeak from off to my left.

I ran after the sound, hoping to find the source.

"Che." right now.

I turned, and eventually came to an old well shrine.

"Che." the creature was inside the shrine.

I did a quick look around to see that, i was indeed alone. then entered the shrine.

"Che." the creature was apparently down the stairs, near the well.

i climbed down the narrow staircase, and walked up to the well.

"Che."

"In the well?"

I hoisted my petite, apparently, pixie figure over the wells opening, standing on the sides.

"Che."

"Hello?" i called in to the well.

"Che."

then my foot slipped, and i fell into the well.

I gasped at my sudden descent into the well. And on the way down i hit my head.

….

I awoke to find the well was rather well lit. And a butterfly was settled on the back of my right hand.

But my left side, the side i was currently laying on, hurt, a lot.

So, to examine my wound i shooed away the butterfly, and pulled up my shirt, revealing a bloody mess. and the blood was not stopping it's flow.

i ripped off the bottom of my shirt and used it as bandages and then turned to finding a way out of the well.

There were vines hanging down the sides, must have been the reason i slipped, and the way i'm getting out of this death trap.

once outside i collapsed next to the well.

I also noticed the well shrine was gone.

I knew i needed to get my wound tended to. i also knew moving around would make the wound worse, plus, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM!

"Hello!" I shouted, "Grandma? Grandpa? Hey guys! not funny! what did you do with the shrine?"

i was close to tears.

Here i was, a 18 year old nervous wreck, now having climbed out of a well, to find the buildings gone, And now, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST!

"Me lord?" a little girls voice reached me, "Where are you going?"

Her voice came from behind me, and on the other side of the well.

I spun around and barely peeked over the side of the well.

After a minute, a man clad in a white kimono, walked out passed the tree line. then looked directly at me.

His hair was long and silver, his eyes like liquid gold, and tattoos pointing at his mouth, the tattoo's were on his cheeks.

he was quite beautiful, though i'd never say it to him.

Then a girl came bursting out of the tree line.

She couldn't have been more that 10 or 12 years old. dark hair and eyes, but mostly, SHE WAS SO CUTE!

"Oh!" she said once she saw me, for the most part.

"Rin!" a shrill, but definitely male, voice yelled, "Don't go running off! You know that Lord Sesshomaru doesn't always want to come to your rescue, and you know he's not always gonna be able to." then a, Imp? ran out of the tree's to stand next to the girl, he was even shorter than her.

I tried to duck lower, and still keep an eye on the trio.

At my movement, the imp noticed me, "Hey girl!" he yelled.

I flinched, temporarily pulling away from the well, aggravating my wound, a sharp pain was in turn caused, and i winced at the pain.

The imp didn't seem to notice, "Stand and bow when approached by the mighty Lord Sesshomaru!"

I looked at the trio in worry, confusion, and fear.

Where the hell am i? What wacky alternate universe have i landed myself into?

I tried to stand, my legs threatened to give out at any second, so i used the well as a form of balance, then i bowed towards the group. as i did so, my legs gave way, and i fell to the ground in a heap.

The blood now not stopped by the messy and removed bandages.

I sat up to try to re-bandage the wound.

The girl, Rin, ran over and saw the bloody mess that was my side, and the bandage. At the sight of it, her eyes widened temporarily, then her face became serious as she faced her companions, "Master Jaken! She's hurt! Leave her alone! Uh? Lord Sesshomaru?"

The man had walked towards us when she was talking.

I looked up at him as he approached. Now able to see his face clearly, i found he was young, he didn't look that much older than myself.

I could see Rin's face brighten out of the corner of my eye, "Can we take her with us? Please Lord Sesshomaru?"

"No way!" The imp, Jaken shouted, "We already have one annoying human girl! we don't need another!"

"Jaken," the man, Sesshomaru, suddenly said.

The imp jumped, "Ah, ye, yes me lord?"

"Be quiet."

"Yes my lord." the imp said sadly.

Sesshomaru had never taken his eyes off me, not even while talking to the imp. It almost looked like he was assessing me.

then he turned back towards the trees, "Ah Uhn."

Then a dragon emerged from the trees, and walked over to us.

I honestly couldn't help but stare at the creature, and Sesshomaru didn't seem surprised at my reaction.

Rin tried to get me to stand, but my legs were numb, and so, i couldn't move.

So the dragon helped me to stand. practically picking me up by my arms with its large heads, and letting me sit directly between them.

Rin hopped on to the beast behind me, and tapped me on the shoulder, "What your name?"

I turned slightly, my wound aching as i did, "Yui, Yui Tashida."

She smiled, "I'm Rin, and this is Ah Uhn," she said patting the dragons side, "And the grouch who yelled at you is Jaken."

"That's Master Jaken." the imp grumbled loudly.

Rin ignored him, and pointed to the man walking ahead of us, "And that's Lord Sesshomaru."

I looked over at the man, he was looked over his shoulder when Rin said his name. I bowed my head, "Hello, and thank you. I don't know what i would have done if you three hadn't come along."

He nodded his acknowledgement of my words.

I could tell he didn't say much, or smile. But with the adrenaline running through my veins from the fall into the well, and discovery of how serious my wound was. I have yet to discover how much i was in serious trouble.

Man was i in for a rude reckoning when i got home. If i got home.

My head started to spin, so i leaned on one of the dragon, Ah Uhns, necks/shoulders, and slowly, i fell asleep.

….

I awoke to the smell of food, and water flowing down my throat.

I choked temporarily as my memory's faded in to recognition, i grabbed the cup and pushed it away so i could cough, without water going up my nose. "Give me a second," i choked out.

Rin was holding the, really anteak looking canteen.

I sat up. a sharp pain flying threw my side, "Ah," i gasped, and looked down to my wound.

There were new bandages, and i could tell the wound had been cleaned.

"Your wounds pretty bad, but none of your vital organs were harmed, just a few broken ribs, and muscle damage. But it all should heal quickly."

Even though she was serious, SHE WAS SO CUTE!

I gave her a small smile then looked around the clearing we were apparently camped out in. In it, i saw Ah-uhn asleep a few feet away from me, Jaken looked like he was asleep near the fire, with a few fish being cooked over it, and Sesshomaru was nowhere in sight.
