Chapter 1

Kagome, Yuka, and Edie walked home from school. "Kagome, how are you and that bossy, stalker boyfriend doing?" Yuka asked.

Kagome frowned at her shroud sounding voice. "For your information, he isn't that rude and he isn't a stalker. He is just protective of me!"

"Kagome, God, don't have a cow." Yuka yelled back. "Whateves, my house is right down the block. Come on Edie." Edie waved goodbye as Yuka stalked off, pulling her behind.

Kagome sighed angrily. InuYasha isn't that much of a jerk. But, I guess I can't really call him my boyfriend. I mean, we never even went out! Kagome stalked home, still angry at Yuka's pettiness. She is always mean about InuYasha, and she hasn't even met the guy to top it all off!

Kagome pulled open the screen door of the main shrine, where she and her family lived. She got out her yellow backpack from her closet and started packing. "Okay," Kagome said when she thought she had everything. She put up her hand and starting checking off items with her fingers. "Text books, lunch boxes, first aid kit, and ramen. That should satisfy everyone." Kagome thrust the one million pound pack over her shoulders and waved goodbye to her mom, brother and grandfather.

On the way to the well house, where she could travel between hers and InuYasha's dimensions of time, Kagome thought out loud, "Maybe I could surprise InuYasha with a treat the next time I go. I don't want to be late now though, or he'll freak!" Kagome yanked the bag onto the ledge of the well and toppled it over. Then she herself jumped in and was encased in a blue glowing light as the shards of the sacred jewel that she owned allowed her to travel to the futile era of Japan.
