I do not own the cast or universe from Inuyasha, I do, however own my own characters. This is not my first fic written (this account only has one that I've written, though it's not for Inuyasha, but I've written more then that) but it is my first Inuyasha fan-fic to write so please be nice to me and give me helpful reviews!! Sorry that the first chapter is kinda sucky...I'm not good at starting the story normally, but I promise that it will get better as it goes!!!


Chapter One: Down the Well

The sun peeked through the clouds, casting a shadow across the ground and over the young teen walking along the pavement. Fay had just moved to the town into a house that her parents had bought when they'd thought that they were going to have to move due to her father's work, however since her father's job had required that he stay where he was, Fay moved in by herself. That day was going to be her first day to her new school, though it had been nearly two weeks since she'd moved in, but with having to unpack and everything she'd taken two weeks off to get herself settled.

Looking up at the large building that towered above her, Fay took a deep breath and nodded to herself; she was naturally a shy person so going to a new school was a big challenge for her, but she liked challenges so she was head set on doing this. Pushing the doors open she stepped into the school, the cool air breathing heavily down on her, clashing with the hot air from outside. Letting the door close behind her, she carefully made her way to the office, where she was told she'd be able to pick up her books and meet with the headmaster, who would show her to her class. The halls didn't really look much different from her old school's the same white paint coating the plaster that made up the walls and the off white and blue tiles making up the ground. Here and there a poster was put up, advertising some school event that had either already passed or was coming around the bend.

Stepping into the office, she walked up to the secretary and cleared her throat to get her attention. "My apologies for interrupting, but I was told to come here to get my books and that the headmaster would want to see me before I go to class." Fay asked, indirectly, making the secretary smile widely at her politeness.

"Of course! The headmaster should have your books and class number, so just go see him. His office is just down the hall, last door on the right; and don't worry I'm sure you'll fit right in with the other students, everyone is really nice here!" the secretary assured, while pointing towards the headmaster office. Fay nodded slightly in thanks and turned towards the hall way, only to have the secretary stop her again with a question this time. "How tall are you, by the way?" Fay stopped and thought for a minute, silently converting a number in her head. "About 183 cm" With that she left down the hall, feeling slightly embarrassed because she knew that put her about half a food (or about 7 cm) above most of the males in her class and about 11 inches (or 58 cm, apporx.) above most of the girls in her class.

Knocking on the office door, Fay waiting until she got the go ahead to come in then entered the large spacious room. Half bowing to the guy behind the desk, she walked up to him and quickly introduced herself. "I'm Hearthwits Fay, the new students..." The headmaster's smile got even bigger and he quickly stood up and handed her a few books before motioning her to follow him. "I'll take you to your class, I'm sure you're eager to jump into the lessons here. Your record is amazing, do you think you'll be joining any of the clubs?"

Her dark blue eyes got slightly big, as Fay realized what he'd asked her, he'd obvious had not only read over her academic achievements. Gathering her wits back around her, and following the headmaster out of the office and towards the main hall, she shook her head slightly. "No, I don't think that I will. I wish to let myself get accustomed to the school before I decided if I wish to join any of the groups or not. University is only lurking around the corner too, so I wish to put my mind more towards studies so I can ensure that I get into the one that I want." she quickly backed out of the idea of clubs, trying to give an excuse that would seem likely enough and satisfy the headmaster that she had a good reason not to be in one. Thankfully it worked and the elder man smiled up at her, almost proudly, before nodding and coming to a stop in front of a room.

Opening the door, he motioned for her to go inside, then followed Fay in. Closing the door he got everyone's attention, and nodded to the teachers. "This is our newest student, Hearthwits Fay, please welcome her into our school and show her that we are a great school to be in!" With that he bid her a good bye and left, leaving everyone to stare at her in shock, from the looks of it she was the tallest in the class by a good few inches. The teacher quickly jumped out of her own shock and pointed out a seat next to a girl who looked out of it, saying that she could take that seat and one of the other girls would fill her in on what they had already gone over at the end of the lesson.

Taking her seat, Fay listened half heartedly as the teacher started to drone on about history and some great battle or another. Deciding it was a waste of time to listen, she turned her gaze towards the window and focused her attention to the tree outside. It's leaves were gently swaying in the light breeze that had picked up that morning, the same one that Fay was already starting to miss. Some people had once said that she lived for the breeze, to feel the air around her and she had to agree that perhaps they had been right. It was only when she was able to feel the breeze that she did not feel alone in the world, that she felt at peace.

Fay was suddenly jerked out of her day dreams by a girl waving her hand in her face. "Hello?! Oh, there you are; for a second there I'd thought you'd fallen asleep with your eyes open! I'm Yuka, this is Eri, Ayumi and of course Kagome. Don't ask Kagome any questions about class though because she's never here enough to actually know anything. She's always sick, so if you fall ill easily you might want to stay away from her too." the girl said off-handedly. Almost as if the word sick made him appear, a boy popped up next to Kagome with a present in his hands. "Hello Kagome, I heard that you got sick again, I thought I'd give you some of these teas from my family's store. They should help you feel better!" Yuka laughed softly and pointed to the boy. "And that's Hojo, Kagome's not-boyfriend."

Nodding slightly, Fay turned to Kagome and tilted her head slightly. "I hope you are feeling better, if it is true that you were sick. Mother use to get sick often, after my baby brother was born, I know that it is not fun." she said softly, though now that she had a better look she could tell that Kagome had not been sick. After having been around her mother for so long, she had learned to read when someone had recently been sick, people just looked a certain way after having been sick, though she decided not to call the young girl out on it. Kagome blushed slightly and nodded, mumbling that she felt much better.

Soon class had restarted and then ended. Gathering up her things, Fay watched silently as Kagome's friends called out to Kagome asking if she wanted to hang out, only to be told that she had something important to do and wouldn't be able to hang. With that the three girls had turned to her, but before they could ask, Fay stood up quickly and slung her bag over her shoulder. "I'm sorry, but if you were going to ask if I'd like to join you, I'm going to have to decline. I still have to finish unpacking and everything, my parents plan on coming out soon and I want to make sure the guest room is set up for them and everything is clean. I don't wish for my mother too overwork herself trying to clean my own home." with that she backed out of the class room and started to follow Kagome. She might have let it drop before, but she was curious as to what the girl was really up to and she had a feeling that if she'd follow the dark haired girl that she'd find out soon enough.


Furrowing her brow slightly, Fay watched as Kagome entered the well house and a bright purple and blue light engulfed the area. Thinking that it was just a light of some kind, seeing as she doubted the well house had electricity, she waited patiently for Kagome to come back out of the little wooden building. After a while of waiting, and figuring that Kagome wasn't about to come back out, she edged towards the well house and peeked inside, casting her eyes about. No Kagome. Moving towards the well she looked down, she could barely make out the bottom, and still no Kagome.

Nodding slightly to herself, Fay vaulted over the edge of the well and towards the bottom, the light that she'd seen earlier sprang up and seemed to swallow her. After a minute her feet touched the ground, though and she looked up. The well house was gone, in it's place was the bright blue sky and a light breeze that moved her short red hair about her.

Deciding to take a look, she carefully jumped out of the well, using the walls to help her ascent, and looked around. The well was surrounded by a forest of some kind, and in the distance she could hear the faint sounds of what seemed like a farm village or something. Being careful not to be seen, she went to check it out, only to be amazed by what she'd seen. It was like she'd gone back in time, everyone was dressed in the traditional Japanese garb and there was not a modern touch to anything in the area. Stopping to think about it, the air also didn't hold the smell of pollution that she had grown up around, this air seem fresh and pure, something she found that she liked as the breeze made her clothes shift around her body.

Moving on deeper into the woods, Fay decided to explore a while, seeing as she had nothing to do, her excuse for getting out of going with the girls having been a total lie just so she could have followed Kagome. Speaking of Kagome, she didn't see her anywhere.

Suddenly she heard a soft scream, and without second thought her feet started to push her towards the sound. It had sounded like the scream of a little girl, though she knew for a fact that grown men could emit that scream if they were in enough pain or scared enough. When she passed by a lump of trees, she knew that the sound belonged to the right person, as there was a small girl in a orange kimono who was easily cornered by a large...thing. Not thinking about it, Fay launched herself into the air, seeming to fly up with ease, and spun slightly as she came close to the thing. In no time at all, her foot landed on the side of the things face and neck, making it fall to the ground, passed out. Standing on top of the thing, Fay looked down at the girl, her dark blue eyes locking with the brown ones of the girl. "Hey, he didn't get you did he?"

The girl seemed to snap out of it and in an instant, Fay found her legs encircled by the little girl's arms in a tight hug. "Thank you for saving Rin! Rin was so scared! Lord Sesshomaru had left to get something and Jaken left Rin all alone, but there were these pretty flowers and I thought Rin would pick some. Then that demon came and attacked Rin. Rain was so scared, but the tall lady saved Rin! What's the tall lady's name?" This was all said in one breath, almost like a run on sentence, making Fay raise a brow in amusement.

Plucking the girl from her legs, she lifted her into her arms and held her. "My name is Fay. I assume you're name is Rin? How old are you Rin?" she asked softly, making the small girl giggle and wrap her arms around her neck. "Rin is Rin! Rin is 7!" she squealed, making Fay wince slightly, though she quickly smiled and nodded in return. "Well then, Rin, lets see if we can't find this Jaken or Lord Sesshomaru that you spoke of. Would you care to walk me to where you last saw Jaken?" she offered, slowly lowering the small girl back to the ground. Rin grinned and nodded happily, grabbing Fay's hand and dragging her away from what Fay had figured out was a demon.

It wasn't long before they reached a clearing where a small toad like creature – Fay figured another demon – was running around cursing some small human. "Jaken!" Rin squealed, obviously the person the demon was cursing was Rin. Rin quickly pulled her over to the toad demon and then practically tackled the demon to the ground in a hug. "Jaken, tall lady is Fay! Rin was attacked by a demon and Rin was so scared, but Fay came out from the sky and beat up the evil demon so Rin is okay!" the little girl happily announced, making the toad demon look over at Fay who was just standing there with a slightly amused look on her face.

"Fine, you saved the little brat, now leave you whore!" Jaken screeched, making Rin back up slightly and Fay's eyes narrow. In the blink of an eye Fay picked up the toad demon by the front of his tunic thing and lifted him to be eye level with her. "You insolent little fool, the young girl was nearly killed because of your foolishness, tell me why I shouldn't kill you for that and in the insult to me? I do not care who you are, nor do I care who you are, but anyone who so much as even thinks of calling me such a name will be killed without a thought." she growled out, making Jaken sweat slightly and drop his staff. Rin squeaked and then launched herself at Fay's legs again, wrapping her arms around them tightly and burying her face into the soft fabric of Fay's socks.

"Don't kill Master Jaken! Rin likes Master Jaken alive! Fay saved Rin so don't be angry! Please, Rin doesn't want to see tall lady kill Master Jaken." the small girl wailed, making Fay look down at her and the cold look on her face soften slightly. Taking a deep breath to control he anger, Fay turned back to the toad demon and glared heavily at him. "Thanks to Rin, this is only a warning...next time you insult me or leave her alone to where she can't be protected then I will not hesitate to kill you." she sneered before throwing him to the ground and placing a hand on Rin's head.

Rin looked up at Fay and smiled brightly before pulling out a small crushed flower from her kimono, offering it up to her. "Rin wants Fay to have it! Will Fay stay with us, please?!" her voice was slightly whining, but too cute for Fay not to smile down at. "If the other member of your party agrees, then I will travel with you for a time. I'm curious as to this place anyway, but I must go back home soon if I can find a way." she said, her voice soft once more, making Rin giggle happily before running off to play with a butterfly. "Rin! Stay where I can see you, please!" Fay called after her, Rin pausing for a moment to nod before going back to try to catch the butterfly.


In the next chapter she should meet Shesshomaru (maybe). And the demon that was attacking Rin was week, which is why she could knock it out in one move, that and it might have been slightly surprised. Anyway, review review review please please please! I'll try to get the next chapter up ASAP, but with school and all it might be a bit; promise the next chapter will be better though!!!
