Chapter 1: The Misplaced Girl and the Sleeping Girl

"It's Inuyasha!" Yelled a villager as he ran scared.

A girl went flying up into the air leaving a smoldering building behind her. She was wearing red pants and a red coat; she also had white hair and dog-ears. As she looked down at the scurrying people a disgusted look grew on her face.

"This is only what you deserve, just as I deserve the Jewel of four souls," She yelled as she clasped a jewel in her hand as she thought 'With this... I can become a true demon...'

"Inuyasha," a loud voice yelled from the distance as an arrow flew threw the air and struck Inuyasha, causing the half demon to drop the jewel, and pinned her to a tree.

"Ki-kikyo," Inuyasha said as she looked at the one who shot the arrow. 'How could you' she thought as the world went dark around her.

Kikyo dropped her bow and picked up the jewel, "This jewel, for such a thing to exist..." she said as she dropped to the ground, with a large gaping wound visible to everyone.

"Lady Kikyo," one villager said as he walked towards the injured priestess.
"What a terrible wound," another said.
"Please sister," a little girl said as she rushed to Kikyo's side, "we have to take care of you"
"Listen well Kaede," the priestess said to the little girl "I will not live." She held out her hand revealing the jewel, "I want you to burn this with my body. It must never... fall into the... wrong... hands." She said as she fell dead.

As her body was burning her spirit had one final thought, 'I shall take this jewel with me to the world beyond.'

And the day passed with the death of a priestess and the sealing of a half demon and this event became a story, then a legend, and then was forgotten to the point where the jewel was the only thing remembered. And in what seemed like an instant 500 years had passed.

"The "Shikon" jewel?" a young girl questioned her grandfather.
"Yes," the grandfather answered while holding a jewel at the end of a key chain, "So long as one has this one's family will know safety and prosperity"
"And people actually pay money for these marbles?" she asked while holding one herself.
"Hear its legend Kagome, in the beginning the "Shikon Jewel", or the "Jewel of Four Souls"..." He said as he was cut short.
"Save your breath gramps," Kagome said as she used the false jewel to play with her pet cat. "Hey Gramps! Remember what day tomorrow is?" she asked as she clenched the jewel in her hand. "How could I forget my adorable granddaughter's birthday?" her grandfather said with a sigh as he handed her a present.
"A present for me!" Kagome said with joy and excitement.
It's a day early but happy birthday Kagome," he said as she opened her gift, "It's the mummified hand of a "Kappa" water sprite the legends hold that whoever possesses it..." he said as Kagome looked at her present incredulously.
"Here Buyo, Lunch." she said as she gives her present of the water imp's hand to the cat, who bit into it and walked away. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE COST!" her grandfather yelled as the cat exited the room.

'My "house" is also a very old shrine, I live with my grandfather, my mom, and my little brother.' Kagome thought to herself, 'There's a sacred "Go-Shinboku" God-tree that's 500 years old. And a covered well that probably has its own legend, in fact everything at my house as a legend but... no matter how many times gramps tells them to me I always forget. I never even thought about remembering them. That is until the day I turned 15, today.

"Hey Sota," Kagome yelled to her little brother.
"Sis..." He responded in a sad voice as he exited the mini-shrine where the bone eaters well resided.
"You know you're not supposed to play in the mini-shrine," Kagome scolded him.
"But Buyo, he's," said Sota while looking back at the mini-shrine.
"IN THE WELL HOUSE!" Kagome yelled as she and Sota entered the well house and started searching for their cat.
"BUYO!" Sota yelled while kneeling at the top of the stairs that led to the well, "He's somewhere down there." he said as he looked at the well.
"So go get him," Kagome said.
"But doesn't this place give you the creeps," Sota said uneasily as he looked down the stairs.
"What are you scared? You're a boy aren't you?" she teased her younger brother. Right after she said that a loud scratching noise came from the well.
"TH-THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE!" Sota screamed "Like, oh, say... OUR CAT!" Kagome said to her brother who was becoming extremely scared. "Geez," Kagome said as she walked down the stairs to find the cat. She listened for the sound and heard where it was coming from, "Huh, It's coming from inside the well. You're kidding me," she said to herself. Just then the cat rubbed against her leg causing her to scream.
"Don't yell like that!" Sota said nervously, "You scared me"
"You Little," Kagome said angrily to herself while thinking about her brother.
"Ka-Kagome.." Sota said as a six armed being came from the well and dragged Kagome down.
'No, this can't be!' Kagome thought to herself as she saw what the creature that pulled her into the well looked like. The torso was like a woman's but with six arms, however there were no legs whatsoever. It had a spine like torso that began at the bottom of her torso where it looked like her skin had been torn off.
"What joy... what strength I feel...," the creature said as it dragged Kagome down into the void where the inside of the small well should have been. Kagome and hit the creature with a strange light and it fell into the abyss as it said, "I... Will... Not... Lose it now... The jewel... of four... souls"
"The Jewel of four souls?" Kagome asked herself. as she hit the bottom of the well. "I'm in the well?" was the next question she asked herself. 'Was that thing just a dream?' she thought to herself, until she saw on of the creatures arms, 'Guess not.'

She looked up at the top of the well and thought about the last thing the creature had said. "Jewel of four souls, now what did gramps say about that?" she asked herself. "Well, I've got to get out of here." she said to herself, "Sota! Are you there! Go get gramps now!" she yelled but with no response. "Chicken," she said to herself, "Run away will he...?" she said as she climbed up the vines inside the well to get to the top.

"Huh?" Kagome said as she looked around. The shrine was gone, and the surrounding area had too much nature to be anywhere near her home. "Where's this?" she said aloud, "Hey gramps, Sota you there!" she yelled as she looked around. 'What's going on,' she thought, 'I fell into the well inside the mini-shrine, but now, there was no trace of a shrine ever existing.' "Oh," she said as she saw something familiar as she was walking, "The old god tree!" she yelled with glee. 'Even when I was little I could always find my way home from there,' she thought to herself. As she made it to the tree she saw the strangest sight ever. A young girl was pinned to a tree by an arrow and tied with overgrown vines. The strange thing was that the young girl had flowing white hair and dog ears. She walked up to the girl and got the strangest feeling to touch her ears.
As she was rubbing the ears of the strange young girl a barrage of arrows came flying towards her as she heard someone yell, "This land is forbidden, be you a stranger!"

"Hey! You didn't have to tie me up you know!" Kagome yelled at the villagers of the village she was brought to. "She's come a spyin' I wager," said one villager.
"Then another battles brewin'?" another villager asked.
"She's on of them 'Kitsune' foxes usin' magic to look like a girl, I say." a female villager said.
'I'm in a history book,' Kagome thought, 'The Sengoku period, the feudal warring states era.' "Make way! Make Way! Lady Kaede, the priestess, has come!" said a villager as an old woman with an eye patch, and wearing priestess clothes, holding a bundle of arrows and a bow walked towards Kagome. "Who are ye and what were ye doing in the forest of Inuyasha?" the old woman known as Kaede said as she walked closer.
'Great. the weirdoes get weirder,' Kagome thought as she looked at the woman. "Eh? Let me see your face," the priestess said as she looked at Kagome's face, "So trying to look like a clever one are ye, you're her image though... my elder sister Kikyo"
"What?" Kagome asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Kikyo was the village priestess, and it's protectress," said Kaede as she thought back to her sister, "Her last words to me were 'Take this... and burn it with my body.' That was over 50 years ago, she died when I was but a child." Kaede placed a bowl of food in front of Kagome and waited a while, "What's wrong, not hungry?" Kaede asked wondering why Kagome wasn't eating.
"Ummm, do you think you could untie me," Kagome said.
"Oh," said Kaede as she untied Kagome.
"I don't s'pose I'm in Tokyo anymore?" Kagome asked uneasily.
"I've never heard the name," Kaede said, "Is that the land of your birth"
"I, uh, guess so... I was just thinking I should get going soon." Kagome said as she let out a weak laugh, 'going... but how?' she thought to herself as a loud noise came from outside.
"What could be..." Kaede said as she and Kagome looked out the door, and saw a horse with it's flesh ripped off it's ribs.
"RUN... A DEMON!" the villagers yelled as the demon that attacked Kagome in the well destroyed the village.
'That same thing,' Kagome thought in fear.
"Give me the Jewel of four souls," the creature said as headed towards Kagome.
"The, the Jewel!" Kaede exclaimed as she looked at Kagome, "You have the Jewel"
"I...I'm not sure...!" Kagome said unsure of what was going on. 'That thing... only wants me. And unless I lead it away, everyone's going to..,' Kagome thought as the centipede attacked the villagers while heading towards here.
"Spears nor arrows can hurt it," said the villagers as they ran away.
"If we can lead it to the dry old well, we can trap it," Kaede said to the villagers.
"Dry old well?" Kagome asked.
"In Inuyasha's forest," Kaede responded.
'The well I came out of,' Kagome thought, "Quickly which way is the well!" Kagome asked.
"To the East toward..." Kaede said as she was cut off.
"Toward that light, okay." Kagome said as she ran off.
"YOU WILL NOT SLIP ME," the centipede creature yelled as it followed Kagome.
"That child, did she truly say that she saw INUYASHA'S AURA," Kaede said with wonder and amazement.

"That smell, that's Kikyo's scent, she is coming closer," the girl who was pinned to the tree by an arrow said as she woke up.
"I could sure use a rescue," Kagome yelled as she neared the tree.
"Give me the Jewel!" the creature yelled again.
"B...but I don't have anything like..." Kagome said as she tripped over a tree root.
"Umm, Kikyo, why are you toying with second raters like Mistress Centipede," the girl said as she looked down at Kagome.
"Huh..." Kagome said as she looked up at the tree. 'Did she... talk,' Kagome thought as she looked at the girl, "Who are you"
"Why aren't you using you're arrows to stop her Kikyo," the girl asked Kagome.
"Kikyo? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Kagome said, "My names not"
"She's coming," the girl said looking at the sky.
"What!" Kagome yelled as the centipede creature descended upon her from the sky. Fortunately the creatures attack was stopped as arrows and spears came flying at it.
"'Tis time! Draw!" the villagers yelled as they attacked the creature.
"I'm...I'm saved." Kagome said with a heavy breath.
"I'm disappointed in you Kikyo," The girl stuck to the tree said.
"Listen here," Kagome said as she stood up in front of the girl, "I don't know who this Kikyo is... except that she's not me"
"Do you honestly expect me to believe that you're not..." the girl said as she looked straight at Kagome's face, "You're not her"
"Get it now," Kagome said, "My names Kagome. Ka...Go...Me"
"I'm sorry," the girl said, "I shouldn't have assumed you were the same person because you smell the same"
"Apology acce...AHHHH!" Kagome said as she was grabbed by Mistress Centipede. In order to not be pulled away she grabbed the girls hair, "LET ME GO!" Kagome yelled to the centipede "Stop pulling my hair!" the girl yelled to Kagome.
"Lady Kaede... Inuyasha...Inuyasha is awake!" one of the villagers said.
'That spell was meant to never break, but it has... how!' Kaede thought to herself.
"You're body is so weak, I'll devour you whole," Mistress Centipede said to Kagome, "Shikon Jewel and All"
"No!" Kagome screamed.
"The jewel..." Inuyasha said "Get away!" Kagome yelled as she hit the demon with a blast of light from her hand.
"Look 'on her," one of the villagers said.
'This happened in the well too,' Kagome thought, 'How am I able to do such things?' "VILE THING!" the Centipede yelled as it bit Kagome's side causing the Jewel of four souls to come out of her and into the air.
"What!" Something came out of her!" one of the villagers yelled.
"The Jewel off Four Souls!" Kaede yelled as Inuyasha looked at the Jewel in the air.
'That was inside me?' Kagome thought.
"I Knew! I Knew! I Knew you were hiding it!" Mistress Centipede yelled as she headed towards the Jewel.
"Give me the Jewel!" Inuyasha yelled to Kagome.
"What?" Kagome asked her.
"Please give it to me!" Inuyasha yelled as Mistress centipede wrapped Kagome around the tree.
"Inuyasha who seeks the Shikon Jewel, I have heard of half demon by such a name," Mistress Centipede said, "At last we meet"
'Half-Demon!' Kagome thought 'Her!' "I would rather not meet you at all," Inuyasha said, "You give female demons a bad name. If I wasn't stuck to this tree I would make sure you wouldn't give anything a bad name"
"Umm, can you do anything but talk?" Kagome asked the girl.
"You cannot move can you demon girl." Mistress centipede said as she moved her head close to the Shikon Jewel, "That's quite a spell you're under, all you can do now is... watch"
"No... It's not yours!" The Half-Demon girl yelled as the centipede ate the jewel.
"She's et the magic bead she has," one villager said in a scared voice "This cannot be!" Kaede yelled.
"What ill does this bode, m'lady?" a villager asked the priestess. Right after he said that mistress centipedes lost arms reattached to her body.
"No her arms.." Kagome said as she watched the centipede undergo a transformation.
"Such power, such joy!" the demon exclaimed.
'She's happy,' Kagome thought in fear.
"Kagome, if you don't want to become the centipede's lunch you must release the spell," Inuyasha said, "Maybe I can stop her before she full digests the jewel, please release me"
'No I won't die here, not in this stinking hell, Live again Inuyasha!' Kagome thought as she removed the arrow from the girls chest. The arrow then vanished "The arrow vanished?1" Kaede yelled in surprise.

"Thank you, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as she broke herself and Kagome free of the monster.
"You... Child!" Mistress Centipede yelled as she slithered straight towards the half demon girl.
"Old enough for you, you hag!" Inuyasha yelled as she cut the demon in half with a single strike, "Be gone evil demon"
'I had no idea that girl was so powerful,' Kagome thought in awe, until she saw the demon's arm move, "You gotta be kidding me...It's still moving!" Kagome asked herself.
"Can you see a place on the demon's flesh where it's glowing," Kaede said putting her hand on Kagome's shoulder, "The jewel must be burning inside her, and unless you remove it her body will rebuild itself"
"Unless I remove it!" Kagome said in a disgusted tone, "Wait! I see it!" Kagome yelled as she ran over to where the jewel was and pulled it out, "So you're telling me that this Jewel gives power to demons"
"Exactly. And I think you just proved that you can't hold onto it..." Inuyasha said, "So why don't you hand it over to me, that way I won't have to take it by force."
