Chapter 1:

Kagome Higurashi sat at the base of a large tree, looking out at her friends as they walked around their makeshift camp. The past few days had been uneventful, and she had decided to go back to her time for a few days to get some more supplies.

"Kagome?"

She looked down, smiling at the young fox demon beside her.

"Yes Shippo?"

"Will you bring me back something from your time?"

"Of course I will."

Kagome stood up and began to put her things into her backpack.

"Hey Kagome, you won't be staying there for very long this time will you?"

Kagome looked at her best friend Sango and gave her a reassuring smile.

"No. I'll only be gone for a few hours this time. I wouldn't be going at all if we didn't need the supplies. It's only been two weeks since my last trip home. I'm sure that Mom will understand.."

A man in monk's robes came to stand beside Sango.

"Well, be careful Kagome. I know that things have been uneventful lately, but I can't help but sense that something is not right."

"Don't worry Miroku. I'll be fine."

She finished packing and gave Sango and Shippo a hug.

"I'll see you later guys!"

"Hey Kagome, don't go getting yourself in any trouble. I don't want to have to keep saving you."

Kagome turned to look at the hanyou.

"What's that supposed to mean Inuyasha?"

Everyone could see that the young miko was getting angry.

"Oh no," Miroku said. "He's asking for it again."

"Idiot," said Shippo.

"It means don't do anything stupid."

"I'm not stupid!" Kagome yelled. "Inuyasha, SIT BOY!"

Everyone else flinched as Inuyasha slammed into the ground.

Kagome turned to face the rest of the group.

"I'll be back in a little while. And don't worry Inuyasha," she said, turning to where he still lay on the ground. "I won't do anything STUPID!"

As Kagome stormed off towards the Bone Eaters Well, Miroku walked over to where Inuyasha was beginning to pull himself out of the ground.

"When will you ever learn Inuyasha."

"Oh shut up Miroku! It's better to have Kagome leave angry than to have her worry the whole time she's gone."

His words stunned the monk, while Sango simply smiled at Inuyasha's statement. She knew that Inuyasha had Kagome's best interests at heart. He just didn't know how to go about pleasing her.

"Come on," he said. "Lets go back to the village."

They had packed everything up and were preparing to leave when a child of about ten years came out of the forest and walked up to them. She was wearing a simple kimono in a rare shade of purple.

She walked straight up to the hanyou and said, "Are you the half demon by the name of Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha, surprised not only by the child fearlessness, but also by her sudden appearance just stood there, staring at the young girl.

Sango walked up behind the little girl and said, "Yes, he is Inuyasha. Why do you ask?"

The child calmly pulled a folded piece of paper out of her pack and handed it to a still stunned Inuyasha.

As he took the letter, the child said, "She wants you to come alone. She said that they have to stay here. She said that it very important that you come alone."

"Who's 'she'?" asked Miroku as he took a step closer to Sango.

The girl simply said, "My Lady Kikyo," and turned away, walking straight back into the forest. They didn't it, but the child had a smug smile on her face as her eyes slowly changed colors.

"What does the note say Inuyasha?"

"It says that Kikyo wants to talk to me about something important and that I should come alone. She says it has something to do with Naraku."

"Well," Sango said, "Are you going?"

"I might as well. There's nothing else to do around here."

"Uh, you do know that Kagome isn't going to be very happy about this don't you."

"Yeah, Sango, I know. But it could be important. What if she's figured out some of Naraku's plans, or some kind of way to defeat him?"

Sango sighed and looked away.

"Okay," she said. "I'll cover for you if she gets back before you do."

"Thanks Sango. I'll be back in a few hours."

Sango sighed again and shook her head as she and Miroku watched Inuyasha run into the forest.

"He's never going to learn."

"Are we going to cover for him?" Miroku asked as he started to walk towards the village.

"I guess," she said as she began to walk with him.

"Inuyasha's an idiot isn't he Kirara?" Shippo asked the other demon as they too headed towards the village. Kirara meowed in agreement.

Little did they know that someone was watching them the whole time, luking in the dakness of the forest.

"Good," the creature whispered. "They're gone."


The creature smiled as it headed towards the well.

"Bye Mom! I love you!" Kagome yelled as she walked towards the door.

"Bye honey. Be careful! And say hi to your friends for me."

"Don't worry, I will!"

Kagome walked out of the door and headed towards the well.

I wonder what everyone else is doing... she thought as she tossed her backpack into the well.

When she got out of the well in the feudal era, she sighed, happy to be back. She had missed Inuyasha, and wanted to apologize for sitting him before she left.

She had just begun to walk towards the village when she heard rustling in the woods directly in front of her. She stopped in her tracks, wondering who it could be.

"Hello?" she said. "Inuyasha, is that you?"

She was about to take out her bow and arrows when a child, a young girl came out of the forest and began walking towards her.

"Well hello." Kagome said, her maternal instincts kicking in. "Are you by yourself? Are you lost?"

"I'm looking for someone."

When the child reached her, Kagome kneeled down in front of her.

"Who are you looking for?" she asked.

"You," the child said as she pushed Kagome to the ground and pulled two very sharp knives out of her robes. The last thing Kagome saw before she faded into darkness were the glowing red eyes of the girl...

...And the evil smile on her face.
