I know I really shouldn't start any other stories while I have so many unfinished ones as it is, but this wouldn't leave my brain and I have managed to update a few of my stories since I last logged on.

"Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!"

Alarm sirens blared, running in a persistent counter melody to the pounding feet throughout the base. General Hammond's words had signaled a complete lockdown of the base. No one would come in or out until the foothold situation was resolved.

This however, made little difference to SG-1 or the other airman currently fighting an enemy they couldn't see, all the while trying to prevent him from leaving through the open wormhole to God-knows-where in the galaxy with all their codes.

"Dammit Carter! How much longer?!"

Major Carter crouched in the corner of the gate room, studiously avoiding any and all weapons fire in an attempt to concentrate. She sat typing madly into her laptop, sequences and codes that would alter the naquadah generator to emit a pulse that would pull the Ashrak into their visible light spectrum.

"Now sir!"

She fired the generator up and a ghostly outline of an armored man two feet from Colonel O'Neil appeared. He flickered for an instant and turned back toward the gate, ignoring the countless bullets that were being fired at him.

"He appears to be wearing Kull armor O'Neil."

"No shit Sherlock!"

Colonel O'Neil frowned. If this guy got out…well, that just couldn't happen. Jack raced forward, tackling the man only a foot from the event horizon. They rolled toward the gate, each struggling to knock the other off. With a final heave, the Ashrak kicked Colonel O'Neil off of him and into the wormhole and followed two seconds later.

"Jack!"

"Sir!"

"O'Neil!"

"SG-1! You have a go! Get him back!"

Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c raced through the wormhole an instant before it destabilized.

"Walter, turn that damn alarm off."

General Hammond sighed, rubbing his temples in an effort to ward off the coming migraine. An Ashrak, a Goa'uld assassin had just escaped with all their iris codes to deliver them to God-knows-which power hungry false god bent on their destruction.

"Get that gate address. SG teams 3, 4, and 5 report to the gate room."

Walter immediately pulled up the log of gate activity, scanning through the list for the most recent activation. When he found it, everything went black.

"What the hell just happened?!"

"The entire systems been shut down sir! It will take at least three hours to get them up and running again!"

"Damn it! Looks like SG-1 will have to do without backup this time."

Hammond stared at the gate, remembering all the times that SG-1 had succeeded when everyone else deemed them a lost cause. He would jus have to hope that this was another one of those times.

"God speed."

----

Daniel Jackson groaned, slowly returning to consciousness. The last thing he remembered was coming through the gate after Jack, falling, and something heavy landing on top of him before he'd blacked out.

Opening his eyes, Daniel Jackson peered around the dim lighting. Teal'c was sprawled on top of him, beginning his trek back to the waking world as well. The others were too.

Looking up, Daniel saw narrow dirt walls extending up towards a blue sky. That would explain the falling…but how did they get here in the first place?

"Where are we?"

Sam glanced around before standing up. The motion gave Daniel and Teal'c the needed room to maneuver to their feet as well.

"We appear to be in an old well."

"Thank you Teal'c. Now how about we get the hell get out of here."

The sounds of battle began escalating above their heads and dirt fell into their eyes when they looked up.

"Yeah, like how about now."

Daniel grabbed a hold of some vines that covered almost one entire side of the dry old well. After a few tries, he managed to crawl up and out into a clearing.

The first thing he noticed was the lack of any noticeable architecture other than the well, which implied a rather primitive society. Of course, that wasn't always the case, as with the Nox.

The second thing he noticed was Jack punching the air and then being thrown back into a tree ten feet away.

The third thing he noticed was being grabbed in a strangle hold that made him see stars.

The fourth thing he noticed was a brilliant pink light that engulfed him, showering him in a spray of ash when the pressure at his neck vanished.

Daniel fell to the ground, wheezing as he forced air back into his aching lungs. When his head finally stopped spinning, he looked up and froze.

Standing before them was what, for all intents and purposes, looked like a modern Japanese schoolgirl…with a glowing bow and arrows and a glare that rivaled Teal'c.

"Inuyasha, watch them for me would you?"

Daniel stared at her. She was speaking perfect modern day Japanese… rather than some ancient offshoot of the language like he expected. His attention was immediately drawn however, to the boy who stepped into the open a second later. He was a direct contrast to the girl. He was wearing clothes that looked like they came from the feudal era, a set of bright red hakamas and a giant sword. He had silver hair, golden eyes, and…dog ears??!

The girl was moving toward Jack. He immediately shifted his P-90 into firing position. Sam and Teal'c readied their weapons as well. The girl paused.

"Relax. I'm just going to treat your friend's wounds and then we can talk all right?"

It wasn't in Daniel's nature to be suspicious but there were just too many unanswered questions for him not to be.

"How do we know you aren't just going to kill him and then set your friend on us?"

The girl looked at him with eyes that spoke of a wisdom beyond her years. She smiled.

"I guess you'll just have to trust me. After all, if I wanted you dead, I could have just let that guy finish you off, couldn't I?"

Daniel paused for a moment then lowered his weapon. Sam and Teal'c followed suit a moment later, still glaring suspiciously at the girl. Said girl immediately turned to Jack, turning him over and assessing his wounds with a practiced aye. She pulled a first aid kit out of a yellow backpack Daniel hadn't noticed before. It, like everything else about this girl, looked thoroughly modern, completely out of place with everything else in this strange world they had fallen into.

As soon as she finished wrapping Jack's wounds, she turned back toward the rest of

SG-1.

"So, mind explaining what the hell you're doing here?"

Daniel stood up straighter, trying to maintain some sense of order in this insane world.

"I'm Daniel Jackson. This is Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c. We're peaceful explorers from the planet Earth. We mean you no harm."

Daniel sighed when he noticed the girl staring at him like he as crazy.

"Earth. It's a planet in the Milky Way some thousands of light-years away. We came through the stargate."

The girl still didn't look like she thought they were sane.

"You know, stargate. Big round metal circle with lots of weird symbols, makes a big whooshing sound when it's turned on? People go through it?"

The girl was still wearing a blank expression on her face.

"This could be a problem."

"Yes, it could. For one thing, you're still on Earth. Now, would you mind explaining what the hell the American military is doing 500 years in the past?"

Daniel's jaw dropped. There was no way he had heard that right. Sure, they had traveled back in time but never to Japan and certainly never to a place that didn't have a stargate!

Sam and Teal'c looked expectantly between Daniel and the girl.

"Daniel, what did she say?"

Daniel shook his head.

"She just asked me what the hell the American military was doing in the feudal era. According to her, we're on Earth, 500 years in the past and they don't have a stargate."

"That's impossible! There's just no way that we could have traveled back to Japan's past. That would imply that we not only went by the sun at the exact moment of a solar flare AND that a huge wave of energy must have knocked us off course into Japan which is impossible if they don't have a stargate!"

"But we do have the well."

Major Carter glanced at the girl. She had just spoken English and lowered her weapon.

"What does that have to do with anything? And how can you speak English?"

"It was one of the few classes I excelled in before this all happened. Now, I'm sure you have lots of questions so please, come with me."

Daniel stared at the girl who continued to surprise him. She whispered something he didn't catch in rapid Japanese to the boy with dog ears who immediately began to protest. She whispered something else and he instantly stopped, though reluctantly.

"Now, like I said. Please follow me."

Shrugging his shoulders, Daniel followed the girl onto a well-worn path. Sam and Teal'c joined him after a moment carrying Jack.

----

After settling in to a primitive hut, SG-1 ate a bowl of hearty stew prepared by an elderly priestess. Jack had woken up about halfway through the trek and demanded to be let down. After a hurried conference, he agreed to sit in on the conversation.

The girl finished her meal quickly and sat staring at them for a second.

"I'm sorry about earlier but I couldn't be sure you weren't a threat. My name is Kagome Higurashi."

Daniel finished eating second, pondering why that name seemed so familiar. Jack, Sam, and Teal'c finished sometime later. Jack fidgeted for a moment before speaking up, ignoring the other occupants of the room for the moment.

"So how the hell are we going to contact General Hammond if this place has no stargate? Actually scratch that. How the hell are we going to get home if this place doesn't have a stargate?"

"Well, contacting this General Hammond shouldn't be a problem. Does he have a phone number?"

Jack stared at the girl like she had horns sprouting from her neck and Daniel cleared his throat.

"Kagome, how do you know what a phone is? On that note, how do you know we're from 500 years in the future?"

Kagome glanced at them for a moment before she burst out laughing. Her giggles continued for a solid five minutes before she managed to control them.

"I'm sorry. Just, I never in my widest dreams thought I would have to explain this to someone. If coming out of the well with no clue where you were wasn't hint enough, your clothes and weapons sure did the trick."

Daniel looked sheepishly down at his military uniform and P-90. She had a point. Modern American military personnel didn't exactly fit into feudal Japan.

"But how'd you know? How come you didn't just run away screaming demon like half the cultures we've run into or bow down and grovel like the other half."

Ah, Jack. Always blunt to a fault.

Kagome's face took on a funny expression before she grinned and shrugged delicate shoulders.

"I know…because I'm from the future too."
