Hi guys! Thank you for being the brave few to check out my story! I've had this one in my head for a very long while and I felt the need to type it out. It's a Sesshomaru and OC (Other Character) type. I normally ship Sesshomaru with Kagome and I always will. However, I have this other character in my mind who I also ship him with. She's my own made up character, so this story and concept is completely mine. The characters, if they seem familiar, are from the show. However, other names are completely mine. I hope you enjoy this. This is also my second ever fanfic, so be kind and remember to leave reviews. This is going to be a long story, and I promise to update once or more every week. Enjoy! (:
~I will only write this once: Inuyasha characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. All others belong to me.
Chapter 1
Mollye sat on the train looking out the window. Her study abroad trip to Japan was just getting more and more amazing as time went on. She had been to Japan once already for the same trip a Summer before, but this time she was allowed to stay longer. She was currently, or would be in the fall, a Senior in college. She attended an all women's college back in the states, in Georgia, Macon to be exact. The women's college was the first one that had been opened in America and she had been very lucky to get in. She was intelligent, but she didn't believe she was intelligent enough to attend such a prestigious college. She was happy though. It had granted her so many opportunities, such as this. Japan had always fascinated her. She loved the culture, people, food, shows, and anything having to do with it. She was in Hiroshima for two weeks for a Summer Seminar having to do with the bombing. She had already been there a week and she had been granted an extra week to travel and site see. She was currently on a train headed to Tokyo, a place she had wanted to see since childhood. She was by herself, though that did not scare her. Unlike in the states, she was used to going places and traveling alone in Japan. She felt safer for some reason and more powerful. As the train neared Tokyo Mollye began to feel a weird sensation wash over her body but she shook it off. She suffered from extreme anxiety so she wrote it off as that and smiled as they neared the train platform.
Stepping off of the train Mollye grinned happily. She was finally here! Her childhood dream had come true! She didn't know exactly what to do now so she walked into the train ticket building in front of her. She still couldn't shake this feeling inside of her but she just chalked it up to nerves. Walking up to a huge desk at the front she rung a bell that was on the desk and waited for assistance. "Konichiwa, I was wondering if you could help me." She asked a small woman who walked out. "Hai, how may I help you?" The woman asked very pleased that the young woman knew some Japanese. "I am looking to get to Higurashi Shrine. Do you know when a taxi or bus will be here?" She asked politely. "Ah yes, Higurashi shrine. Yes a taxi should come up soon in the front out of those doors right there." The woman said pointing to two doors to Mollye's right. "Just wave and they should stop for you. It will be 10,000 Yen to get there. Do you need to make change?" The woman asked. "Oh no, I have plenty. Thank you very much." Mollye said bowing to her who bowed in return. Walking towards the double doors Mollye walked out into the fresh air and spotted a taxi parked out front. "Sumimasen, could you possibly take me to Higurashi Shrine please?" Mollye asked as she came to the drivers window. "Hai, that will be 10,000 Yen." The driver said holding his hand out. Mollye gave him the money and hopped in the back seat and the driver took off. Looking out the window Mollye's stomach was in knots. She was so nervous to be going to this shrine. She had done a lot of research over the shrine and it had become her obsession as of late. She knew that it was the same shrine that was used in the Inuyasha series, her favorite animated show. The shrine had been a model used by Rumiko Takahashi and she wanted to see it desperately while she was here. She was hoping that it would be the same as it had been in the show. That show had been her childhood all the way until now. She had grown up with the show. It had been there with her in her darkest times and had helped her cope through life at it's roughest points. Mollye smiled in remembrance. Yes, this was going to be life changing, she just knew it. As they neared a street, Mollye felt her skin tingle all over and her stomach dropped. 'It's just nerves. I'm not having a panic attack. I just need to calm down. I'm just extremely nervous, that's all.' She told herself taking deep breaths.
They neared the shrine and the driver parked. Looking out the window Mollye gasped. It was exactly as it had been portrayed and how she had imagined it to be. Stepping out of the taxi she thanked the driver and walked up the long steps to the shrine. When she looked around she noticed a two story house sitting to her right, a huge tree in the middle across from her, and a smaller looking shrine next to it on her left. Walking up to the tree she stared up at it. "This must be the Goshinboku, or God, tree that Inuyasha was pinned to. How funny, there's a mark here in the tree too." She said to herself stroking the inch deep mark. She felt something radiating to her left. She couldn't quite place the feeling but it felt strong. Turning to her left she looked at the small shrine in front of her. Walking to it she opened the doors and peered down and her hand flew to her mouth as she gasped. "Holy...is that. They actually have a well here? Rumiko must have gone all out for her story. She never did miss details though." Mollye said to herself wondering if she should walk down. Her skin tingled more and more and the radiating from inside got stronger. "What the hell is this feeling? I've never felt anything so...powerful. Yeah that's the word. Powerful. It feels like power? This is weird. I wonder what it looks like inside though. Like how deep could it be?" She mumbled to herself. Stepping on the first step she wondered if she should be in here in the first place. Shrugging her shoulders she walked all the way down until she was at the edge. Peering down she noticed that it wasn't too deep. She could jump down if she wanted to. Suddenly her phone went off. Looking at the caller ID she answered it right away. "Teeter! How are you! I miss you so much!" She exclaimed to her sister. "Teeter" was her nickname for her. Her name in actuality was Merritt, but she seldom used that name for her. They were extremely close for being so close together in age. Her being 22 and her sister 20. "Hi Audie! I miss you too! What are you up to? How's Japan treating you?" Her sister asked excitedly. "Oh it's going great! I'm at the shrine now and they even have an actual damn well here, like who would have thought! I'm peering down in it now." Mollye said laughing. "You really are obsessed. You traveled all the way to damn Tokyo just to see a well and shrine." Her sister said snickering. "Yeah I know. It's my life though, you know that. I honestly can't help it at this point." Mollye said peering down into the well trying to see the bottom better. As she did so she lost her balance and caught herself on the edge but her phone fell over. "Oh no!" She exclaimed reaching out, but it was too late. She looked over, squinting her eyes, and noticed that her phone lay face up and undamaged. It was a miracle. "Merritt, my damn phone feel into the well! I gotta go down and get it. Hang on a second. She looked around the sides and noticed a rope ladder. Bracing herself against the edge she put her foot on the first rung and started to climb down. The powerful feeling washed over her igniting the blood in her veins. "What the hell?" Mollye exclaimed actually becoming scared. She stepped down and picked up her phone and put it to her ear. "Sorry Teeter. I was clumsy and my phone fe..." Mollye stopped talking. The air around her was thick and powerful and a blue shimmering light started to engulf her. Looking down she noticed her feet no longer were touching the ground. She was floating! "WHAT. I DON'T...WHAT IS GOING ON!" She shouted as the light started to recede. "Autumn! What's going on?! Talk to me!" Her sister exclaimed from the other side of the phone. When the light was gone, Mollye looked down and noticed that her feet were planted firmly again on the thick dirt ground. "I...I don't know. Merritt, something happened. I don't...I can't even explain it. I've been having this weird feeling all day. Hang on. I gotta get out of this well before I have a legit panic attack." She said shaking. The feeling had gone away aside from the small tingling feeling inside of her. Stepping up onto the ladder she climbed up and swung her leg over the edge. "What! This isn't happening. I'm dreaming. This can't be real." She exclaimed terrified now. "M-Merritt, I must have fallen into the well. I don't understand. I don't think i'm in Tokyo anymore." She said whispering looking around at the vast green forest surrounding her.
