Hello everyone! First, I'd like to warn all of you that this is my first fanfic. I mean my FIRST. So, please bare with me. It gets better I promise. Also, I have not seen the entire Inuyasha series, in fact, I have only seen the first 13 episodes, actually, I haven't even seen the first episode. However, to much poking and prying all over the worldwide web, I've learned enough information on the series to be able to say that I am well educated on the subject. I don't know if that bit of information has any relevance to the story or not, but if you see a mistake in the story that is a misinterpretation of the series or changes the plot or the character in anyway, please let me know. (That just came out really weird, but I didn't know how else to word it.) Anyway, enjoy!!

Chapter 1

Kagome was heading back to feudal Japan today. She was in her time for three days now and she was getting used to living like a normal teen and seeing her friends again. Unfortunately, her grades were on a downward slope, getting very close to hitting rock bottom. Getting into high school was constantly a worry on her mind. She didn't think it was possible to make it with her grades. She was missing so much school, but she had to find the remaining jewel shards.

Despite the problems that she desperately needed (and very much wanted) to fix in her own time, going back to the feudal era was somewhat of a relief to her. She wouldn't have to worry about homework or Houjo for a while longer. But that wasn't the only reason... 'I'll get to see him again...' she thought. 'He's probably waiting for me.' She was surprised he hadn't come after! She quickly packed her bag and ran to the well.

"Mom I'm going!! I don't know when I'll be back!!" she yelled as she left the house.

"Ok, good bye dear!! Have fun!!" she heard her mom reply.

She arrived at the well and looked into it. It looked normal enough, but she's traveled through it enough times to know it wasn't. She took one last breathe before jumping in.

She touched down on the other side and heard what sounded like a fight. She quickly climbed out to see Inuyasha fighting a youkai. The youkai spotted her head pop over the edge of the well. Inuyasha seen him look and looked back over his shoulder, seeing Kagome.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" he screamed as the youkai attempted to dive after her. However, Inuyasha was faster then the youkai and quickly pulled Kagome out of the way, leaving the youkai to slam harmlessly into the well, or so they thought.

While the youkai was trying to regain his wits, Inuyasha put Kagome down behind a bush. "Stay here!" he stated and jumped back out into the clearing, pulling Tetsaiga from it's sheath. The youkai dove at Inuyasha. He dodged the attack and countered with one of his own, splitting the youkai in half. It fell to the ground, a bloody heap.

He walked over the spot where Kagome was hidden.

"Hey, are you ok?" he asked.

"Uum...yeah, I'm fine.", she replied with a nod. 'He doesn't usually ask how I am...' she thought to herself.

"You picked a fine time to come back!!" he yelled, losing the kindness that was in his voice just a moment before.

"Well excuse me!! It's not as if I can look in while on the other side and see if it's safe first!!"

"Hmph. Well just be glad that I'm here to protect you!" And with that he walked toward his tree and jumped up to sit in his usual spot with Kagome watching his every move, an aggravated look on her face.

Kagome looked back to where Inuyasha was standing just moments before, that's when she realized it. The youkai hadn't just crashed harmlessly after Inuyasha pulled her to safety as she had thought, it had completely destroyed the well upon impact!!
