Hey everyone!

I'm starting this story because I need a bit of a break from the other story.

This is supposed to be a short story...

But the way it's going... it may be longer then I thought.

I hope you enjoy it as much as me!

Chapter 1

I sat down in my desk, waiting for school to start. The sky was clear and a very light, bright colour. The sun was shining into the room, giving off a very warm feeling. It was math class. My least favourite and worst subject. I was actually waiting for my name to be called so I could get up and grab my test. I hope I don't fail... again. My last mark was a fifty. It's a passing mark but not the mark that I'm supposed to bring home.

"Okuru. (Pronounced O-ca-ru)" I stood up and walked over to the teacher. He handed me a piece of paper. I automatically look for the mark.

"WHAT!!!"

My name is Okuru Yasashi. (Pronounced Ya-sa-she) I'm a highschool girl who does nothing but study to try and get good grades. My favourite thing to do is draw on my free time, if I ever have free time. It's kind of ironic because I am colour blind. And I am considered the daughter of the richest family in all of Japan. It's not easy. I try to get good grades, but as you can tell, it's hard.

"I can't believe you got another fifty." My friend Aimi (Pronounced Amy) said to me in annoyance.

"And after all that studying too!" I whined as my head dangled down towards the ground.

"Don't feel sad Okuru-chan! It's better then your last mark!" My friend Minako (Pronounced Me-na-ko) pleaded shyly. I groaned at the thought. My mark only went up by one. It was awful.

"Stop crying! You're getting your gross juices all over me!" Aimi cried. I sulked. I didn't want to go home. It was awful there. My father was hard on me. My mother hated me. My brother looked down on me. I always wonder if the world would be better without me. I can't even get a good mark in math, let alone other school subjects.

"It's almost summer break. Are you going to go with us to the summer fair this year?" Aimi said, knowing I wanted to change the subject. I sighed. My father said that if I didn't get a good mark on my test that I wouldn't be doing anything this summer.

"Sorry guys. I can't." I said as we stopped in front of my house. It was a mansion with a shrine in it. The shine was the Shrine of the Bone Eaters Well. One of the most beautiful shrines of all Japan. My family said that there was supposed to be a well around here, hence the name Shrine of the Bone Eaters Well, but my family could never find it. My grandfather said that only one with the purest of heart can find the well. My friends and I said our goodbyes and then I walked up the stairs to my house. When I got to the top I started walking the long path way through the forest. It was a long path that took a good hour to complete. Procrastinating was my specialty and I didn't want to waste it.

The air was soft as it whistled past me. I looked up at the trees. They were all very tall. The path opened up into a small clearing. In the middle stood the tallest tree of them all, the Goshinboku. The most beautiful and loveliest tree of them all. It had a large mark on the front that looked like someone had tore the bark in that area. I walked up to the tree, placing my hand on it. The bark was soft to the touch. I closed my eyes and listened to my surroundings. I started to hear talking. And was surprised. People weren't allowed into this area at dusk. I opened my eyes and turned around, only to be surprised that the path was gone. The only thing around me was green, lushes trees and bushes. I turned my head to the direction I hear the voices and saw two people sitting against the tree. One had long, black, silky hair, and the other one had long silver silky hair. I thought it was kind of funny how they didn't even notice I was there. I slowly walked around them. As I walked, I noticed that the girl was wearing my school uniform. As I examined her more carefully, I also noticed that she looked exactly like me. Her face, her hair, her body shape. It was like looking into a mirror. I then quickly looked at the boy beside her and noticed he had white dog ears, very big eyebrows, and very long nails. He was wearing a red robe and had a sword on his side.

"I wish I could stay here forever." The girl said as I watched a tears roll down her face. The boy's face saddened as he watched her as well.

"But you can! You can stay here forever! You can stay here with Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and... me." He pleaded. I watched him as he hugged her tightly, not wanting her to go. He buried his head into the side of her neck.

"But I can't." The girl said as she rubbed the boys head. I noticed she was shaking a lot.

"My time is running out." She said softly. I watched as tears rolled down her face.

"No. It's not." The boy said quietly. It was almost too quiet for me to hear.

"Don't say that!" He yelled as he hugged her even tighter.

"You will be back. You can't..." he stopped. I watched a tear roll down his face.

"You can't... you can't die..." He said softly. I stared at them shocked, but with a blink of an eye, everything was back to normal. The path was, once again, underneath my feet. The trees were back to their original colourless selves as they waved in the wind. I felt a tear roll down my face and wiped it away.

"What was that? Why am I feeling like this? Why did that girl look like me and why do I feel like I know the boy?" I looked back at the tree but this time, I noticed something sparkling in a small hole, in the area where the bark looked torn up. I slowly walked back up to the tree, placing my hand just under the hole. All of a sudden, the bark started to move. It started to make the hole bigger. When it was big enough for me to reach into it, I slowly lowered my hand into the hole and then pulled something out. When I opened my hand, there was a small little purple marble looking gemstone in my palm. I looked at it. It sparkled and brought colour to the world. I looked around and everything was clear and more beautiful then it was before. The trees were many different shades of green. The sky was many different shades of blue. I could see all sorts of colour. All sorts of shades and things I couldn't see before. The only thing that baffled me was that I knew the name to every colour, yet I had never seen colour until now.

Writer's Note:

So in this story there will be a lot of cliffhangers and a lot of questions

left unanswered for book three.

If, after book 3, you want me to continue the series, I will gladly do so.

I would also like to mention that I will be making short stories that eather

go along to this story or are based off the show.
