DISTANT LESSONS CHAPTER 1: DOWN THE WELL

Kagome Higurashi stood by the well getting ready to jump in to be transported to Feudal Japan. She was about to enter into the well when her younger brother Souta rushed in carrying a beige canvas bag.

"Kogome you forgot your backpack," He said.

"Oh thanks," Said Kagome hurriedly.

She grabbed the bag and jumped into the well. Soon she was in Feudal Japan. She climbed out of the well and surveyed the beautiful forest looking for Inuyasha who was half human and half dog demon.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Someone called behind her.

Kogome turned around and saw Shippou (the cub fox demon) running toward her and Inuyasha, Miroku (a Buddhist monk) and Sango (professional demon Exterminator) were following close behind Shippou. She ran over to them.

"Hi guys!" Kagome said.

"Hi!" Everyone said except Inuyasha.

Inuyasha had a sour look on his face.

"What's your problem?" Kagome asked him.

"What took you so long to get here?" Inuyasha asked angrily.

"I told you yesterday that I had to go to school today to do a test!" Kagome shouted.

Inuyasha looked away from her.

"What do you care when I'm here or not?" She asked annoyed.

"I was hungry," He answered.

"You're pathetic!" Kagome yelled.

"You're the one that's pathetic!" growled Inuyasha.

"Without me you would have never found any of the jewel shards!" Kagome retorded.

Inuyasha Ingnored her and reached out and grabbed her back pack. Kagome moved away angry. Inuyasha tried to grab her bag again.

"SIT BOY!" She ordered.

Inuyasha imediatly fell too the ground on his face.

He lifed up his head and with an annoyed look on his face:

"What was that for?" He shouted.

"Like I even need to tell you!" Said Kagome rudely.

Kagome walked towards the others. Miroku, Sango and shippou were far to used to Inuyasha and Kagome's fights to care. Kagome took off her bag and opened it. She took out containers of food and passed them around.

"mmm… thanks Kagome!" said Shippou.

Kagome shoved Inuyasha's container into his hands.

"Thanks," He muttered.

"You know Inuyasha, you could be more greatful," said Miroku said between mouthfuls of rice.

Inuyasha ingnored Miroku and started to eat.


Inuyasha walked ahead of every one sniffing the air. He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What is it Inuyahsa?" asked Sango.

"I smell a demon," he answered softly.

Kagome gasped.

"I sense a jewl shard!" she exclaimed.

"where?" Inuyasha asked franticly.

Kagome looked around while getting her bow and a sacred arrow ready.

"over there," She said pointing to a clearing in the forest.

Everyone looked over to where Kagome was pointing. Inuyasha gripped his tetsusaiga ready to attack.
