Chapter 1: Five days and counting

Kagome smiled and looked behind her watching as Inuyasha faded into the background. At the moment only one thought was on her mind: She was going home! Of course that brought up worries on her studies and what she was going to do with Hojo. But for now she let that be but a distant worry as she ran to the well and the portal back to her time. She looked over he shoulder again and yelled behind her, "five days Inuyasha!"

The retreating half-demon stopped and turned around only to come racing after the retreating girl. He was upon her quicker than you can saw Jewel Shard and Kagome was forced to take a step back so that Inuyasha wouldn't run into her. He raised an eye brow at her comment, "five? What do you need five days for anyway! It's going to be the simple three!"

Kagome stared at Inuyasha as if he had grown horns. (Which he hadn't, of course.) Her face turned slightly pink at what he had said, "well some people need to study! I am way behind on all of my classes! I plan to use the extra time to actually learn something!"

Inuyasha had now also reached the point of anger, "Three days Kagome, that's what we agreed on!"

Kagome only glared at him her face now a full out red color showing just how angry Inuyasha's comment had made her. In fact it seemed as if steam was coming off her as if she was a boiling pot, "FIVE DAYS," she made as if to end the conversation and began to storm off, Only until she reached a distance that seemed reasonable to her did she turn, "oh and Inuyasha?" he looked at her quizzically, "SIT BOY!"

A loud thump was heard behind her and then a few muffled curses as Inuyasha realized that he had indeed lost that argument, She turned again and walked over to the clearing where the well was. Hefting her backpack over her shoulder and placing the bottle of jewel shards in the back of her pack she jumped through watching as the world around her turned blue and then faded back into an older looking bottom. Then she looked up; this was always the hard part. She grasped the sides of the well and begun the climb up. Once up she struggled over the top of the well. Final over she smiled and began to walk forward; as she did she heard a huge ripping sound. To her shock the bottle containing the jewel shards fell out and shattered. Crap. She quickly reached into her backpack and pulled out an old plastic bag and opened it. She begun putting the shards back in, counting as she did so, "one, two, three, four, five, six…"

She smiled and stood up and dusted herself off. Placing the bag back in her backpack she strolled out of the older shrine and to her house. As she did she failed to notice one of the jewel shard fall through a hole in the bag. The shard rolled to the well and fell down one of the many cracks in the side. Kagome closed the door, and ran to her house. Inside the well the jewel fell to the bottom and a blast of energy spewed from the well.

"Sota! I'm home!"

A loud sound came from upstairs and Kagome's brother Sota came crashing down the stairs. He looked up at her and rubbed his head, "ow, did you have to do that Kagome?"

Kagome stepped over her fallen brother, "do what? You're the clumsy one who fell, not me."

Her brother glared at her, "but you scared me!"

It was about this time that the door of the house opened and Kagome's grandfather looked in, "ah! I thought I hear noise coming from the house. Welcome home Kagome."

She offered a head nod in his direction, "What time is it?"

At this Sota smiled, "early actually, school begins in ten minutes."

Kagome let out a groan and ran upstairs to collect her things. She knew she had decided to come home early in the morning, but her plans had been to sleep and sleep well. Once downstairs she threw open the door and raced down the steeps. She reached her school just in time to catch up to her friends who were chatting amongst themselves. They looked up at Kagome and smiled, "so you're finally over that case of mumps?" Eri asked.

Kagome only smiled at one of the lame illnesses her grandfather had come up with for her reason of being gone, "yeah,"

At this point Ayumi screeched and pointed, "Kagome look! It's Hojo!"

Kagome turned around and sure enough there was Hojo coming towards her. She sighed and put on her happy face, he looked at her, "felling better Kagome?"

Kagome nodded, "yeah, all healed up and better."

The bell rang saving her from having to continue her conversation and she quickly ran into the school building. Once inside she pulled out her supplies and waited for the class to end.

Some time latter Kagome returned home tired and hungry. She flopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. I wonder what Inuyasha is doing right now. She sighed and turned unto her side. At some point her mother came upstairs and Kagome looked up at her, "yeah?"

"It's time for dinner. You want to sleep or come downstairs?"

Kagome straightened up and stretched, "no, I'll come downstairs."

So she lumbered downstairs and ate her food in silence. Finally finishing she remade her way upstairs and to the textbook she was so dreading. She opened her Math one and looked it over gazing out the window as she did so. She blinked once twice and then and third time. She must of fallen asleep at some point because the next thing she knew the ground was shaking, flinging open her window she found that the shine where the well was happened to be shaking as too. Something was dangerously wrong.
