Chapter one : Prologue
Petitefeeme: Hiya! This is me again, with once more a finished story! ^_^ I'm quite proud of myself!
I will post the first and second chapters since the first one is kind of short.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of Inuyasha's character except my own OCs, enjoy the story!
Usually I'm not that thrilled when mom takes us my brother and I to visit shrines, temples and whatever historical monuments that can be found in Tokyo; but this time I had to admit that this little typical shrine was lovely.
The million stairs we had to climb was totally worth it, the place immediately made me feel at peace and weirdly at home, like a sense of belonging.
The old woman dressed in miko garb made us visit the old buildings and I took great pleasure in hearing the several legends attached to this shrine.
Apparently the old woman was delighted in my interest and made an honour point to narrate me those stories.
After a bit more than a hour she offered souvenirs and my eyes caught a beautiful necklace.
It was very simple, just a simple silver circle slipped into a silver chain, but imbedded in the circle was a tiny diamond shaped stone reminding me a bit of glass. The difference was that the stone was reflecting different hues of purple from the light.
The old miko noticed my interest and took the necklace.
"It's 585.5 yens please." She said, handing it to me.
I blinked a few times before realizing what she had said. I hurriedly took my purse handing and rummaged in it, finding the required amount.
I gave the money to the old woman and she thanked me before putting the necklace in my hands.
I admired it a little before putting it around my neck.
"You're lovely with that." Complimented the old woman "Now go find your mother little one. She must be waiting for you."
I nodded and thanked her before getting out and searching for mom. But I barely made two steps outside the building when I saw a glow surrounding the a little building to my left.
I remembered that this was a well's shrine. The old woman told me that this well was 'a portal to the past'.
I looked around but there was no trace of my mother or brother, so I decided to go peak a glance inside the building to see the source of the glow.
I neared it and through a look inside through the spaced planks and saw the blue glow emanating from the well inside.
Usually I'm not that curious, but this time I slitted the door open and edged in, taking careful steps towards climbing down the few steps leading to the bottom.
I passed my head over the edge and looked inside the well, trying to find where the blue glow was coming from.
But I couldn't notice any spotlight or anything like that, and the glow was intense, making me close my eyes a little to support it.
I inclined toward the bottom to try to decipher the source of the glow but at the last moment my foot slipped and I fell forward into the well.
