I'm back in the writing game! Muahahahaha!!!! Though…I should probably finish what I have started before starting something new…but oh well! I'll get back to those, eventually…

So, this is a new story about…well, Kouga…go figure…but it starts off as being about a girl named Ayumi. No, she is not a fan character or an original character…I'll shoot myself before I write a Mary-sue…Ayumi is actually from the series, she's one of Kagome's friends from school. I happen to really like Ayumi, she's such a…romantic? Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. She's the one always going on about how "if it's for love it's all good" or something of that sort.

So, yes…it's a Kouga/Ayumi fanfic! Because it makes sense (With Ayumi being all into romance and Kouga being all romantic all the time) and just because I love both characters and find there are too few fictions about Ayumi for my tastes.

Disclaimer: I do not own or make profit from the Inuyasha series or any of its characters.

On with the show!

Prologue: Friendship Can Be Such a Pain

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a bright and sunny day in the modern world…or so Ayumi wished. In all truth it was raining and she hated it.

Ayumi sighed as her naturally wavy hair got soaked with pellets of rain as she walked to the Higurashi's shrine. She loved her friends unconditionally, but really, friendship could be such a pain in the ass sometimes. Kagome was sick, again, and the teacher was getting worried and wanted to make sure that Kagome got her homework.

So, that brings us to Ayumi, walking in the rain as she makes her way to Kagome. She didn't mind that much that Eri and Yuka bailed out on helping her carry the massive amount of text and books the teacher had given her to deliver when it started raining. What she did mind is that neither of them wanted to let her borrow an umbrella! They could have shared one; they practically live right next to one another.

But it was alight, she wasn't bitter about it. Nope, not bitter at all. Next time they had to do a delivery in the rain she was so going to laugh and keep her umbrella…

She sighed once more and she made her way up the steps. When she finally made it to the house it was just her luck that no one was home…probably on a field trip to the hospital for Kagome's Cytomegalovirus, what ever that was…she was good at math, but somehow Ayumi never really got into science and medical type stuff. She still got A's in science, which was good enough for her.

She groaned and looked back the way she had come. It was still pouring. Her left eye twitched slightly at the thought of having to walk home. Though, there wasn't much of choice in the matter. So, she picked up her foot, that had seemed to be glued to its spot and was hesitant to move, and began the trek across the court yard.

To her dismay, her luck got worse and the rain turned to hail. "Great…" she muttered to herself as she was now being pelleted with ice in a very painful way. She grimaced as she was struck in the forehead. It seemed hopeless, at this rate she was going to get home and look in the mirror to find a bunch of pebble shaped bruises across her face. She looked around for shelter to wait it out until the weather calmed down a bit. She noticed the well house and made her way over.

She quickly slammed the doors closed dropped the bags she was carrying. "This is so horrible!" she cried pathetically to herself. She was usually a very optimistic and a happy, care-free person, but today just wasn't her day.

She listened as the hail and rain poured down on the roof of the small shed and sighed for what seemed like the thousandth time that day…no, correction, for what seemed like the thousandth time that hour.

Ayumi closed her eyes and lifted herself to sit on the lip of the well, it wasn't the most comfortable surface but it was still better than the dirt ground that she had been standing on. As she sat there, she couldn't help but feel as though something was calling to her, and began to feel more and more like she was being pulled downward, into the well.

She opened her eyes to see her hair waving past her face and the roof getting further away. She had fallen, and her eyes grew wide as she came to that realization. She screamed and the sight of the old well house roof was replaced with a flash of blue light.

And that's it for the prologue! I'll try and have the first chapter up by next week, but knowing what a procrastinator I am, I won't make any promises.

I'd love to read some reviews, so tell me your thoughts on the couple/characters of choice!

Until next time, take care of yourself and be happy.

For those of you who are wondering, Cytomegalovirus or CMV is a virus that infects cells and causes them to become enlarged. People are usually infected by the time they are two or during the teenage years.

Preview of Chapter 1; Blast to the Past (A corny title):

Ayumi looked up at the bright blue sky, where a roof had once been. She was surprised that she felt no pain and thought that she might have a concussion of some sort and may even be dreaming.
