Warnings: Adult situations, Language, Suggested rape and Lemons In this story.

Introduction to set the scene...

One day while she was at her cousin Kagome's home, in her time, Moriko heard her cousin's voice near the well.

She followed Kagome's voice and Buyo her cat, to the well; but Kagome was nowhere in sight

'That's strange.' she thought. 'I know I just heard her... wonder what's going on?'

Suddenly Buyo jumped out of nowhere and landed on her and she stumbled from his weight, accidently falling backwards into the well.

The shock was so much that Moriko passed out before she hit the bottom.

She didn't know it at the time, but she ended up being time warped back to the Warring States Era in Feudal Japan.

Kagome had just gone through a few moments before her and was getting ready to climb out, when she saw Moriko and asked Inuyasha to help her take her to Kaede's.

Inuyasha carried the unconscious girl to Kaede's.

Later that day she woke up in Kaede's hut with Kagome sitting next to her...

CHAPTER ONE:

Moriko woke up feeling a bit groggy and slowly began to sit up as she moaned asking, "Uh my head... Where am I?"

She heard her cousin Kagome answer, "You fell in the well at my place, and now you are in the Warring States Era in Feudal Japan."

She snapped her head around to face Kagome, and asked her younger cousin, "What Kags are you serious?"

Kagome looked into Moriko's eyes and answered, "Yes" Moriko looked at Kagome with a brow raised questioningly.

Kagome said with a small smile, "It's a long story" Moriko nodded for her cousin to proceed.

Kagome proceeded to explain to her older cousin all about the well, time warping, and how she came to be here, as well as all about Kaede's village. Then a little red haired kitsune ran in trough the door way and jumped into Kagome's lap.

He asked excitedly, "Kagome! Kagome! Is she finally awake? Who is she? And why is she here?"

Obviously the little guy was both hyper and curious.

Moriko said, "My name is Moriko." while smiling at him. She continued, "You sure are a cute little guy." while looking into his emerald green eyes.

Kagome said, "This is Shippo" as she held him up to face me.

Moriko said, "Nice to meet you Shippo" with a warm smile.

He replied, "Nice to meet you too." with a big smile of his own and his eyes twinkling.

They stood up and walked outside and Kagome introduced Moriko to all her other friends.

"Everyone this is my cousin Moriko." said Kagome while facing them and standing beside her cousin.

Kagome grabbed Moriko's hand and led her over to a strangely dressed girl who had deep brown eyes and her hair was in a long pony tail.

Kagome said, "Moriko, This is my friend Sango."

Moriko greeted, "Hello Sango" with a smile.

Sango replied, "Hi," also smiling at me.

Kagome led her over to and introduced her to a kind looking old lady in priestess clothes. "Moriko this is Kaede."

Moriko replied, "Hello Kaede nice to meet you, and thanks for taking care of me." with a big smile.

Kaede replied, "Ye are welcome" also smiling at the younger girl.

Next Kagome lead her cousin over to a man dressed in monks garb and introduced her to him. Moriko noticed he had a small pony tail and blue eyes.

Kagome said, "This is Miroku."

Miroku reached over and grabbed Moriko's butt and squeezed...

She asked in a serious tone, "Pardon me, but what exactly do you think you're doing?" while staring into his eyes.

He replied, "I have a question to ask of you my dear. Would you kindly consider bearing my child?" while staring into her eyes.

She asked, "What! Now why would I do that?" while getting a little freaked out. She narrowed her eyes at him and proceed to slap him hard right across his face!

She warned, "Keep your hands to yourself from now on if you know what is good for you, pervert!"

Kagome said a little embarrassed, "Don't mind him, he is just a bit lecherous."

Moriko replied, "I can see that." as she eyed him warily.

Kagome led Moriko over to and introduced her to a boy in a brilliant red kimono with white hair and what appeared to be dog ears.

She said, "This is Inuyasha." with a smile.

Moriko replied, "Hello Inuyasha" and asked if Inuyasha's ears were real.

Kagome replied, "Yes they are." while holding her gaze.

Moriko asked, "How can that be?" a bit perplexed.

Kagome replied, "Because he is a half demon."

Moriko asked, "What! I don't get it. What is a half demon?" Her curiosity had now been fully peeked.

Kagome proceeded to explain all about the demons and Inuyasha's parents.

Moriko said, "I am sorry if I offended you Inuyasha. It's just I am new here and was curious that is all." while staring into his golden eyes.

"It's okay" he replied off handedly, then he walked off and stood beside a tree.

Moriko stated, "Wow I am confused." She asked, "Why am I here and how can I get back?" while looking at everyone.

Kagome explained about the well, and they all decided to proceed to the well. Upon reaching the well Moriko jumped in and found out that she couldn't go back for some reason.

Moriko asked, "Huh, what's going on? Why can't I seem to go back?" while starting to grow concerned.

Kaede walked over to her, asking, "Are ye able to sense jewel shards as well child?" while staring at me.

Moriko asked, "What are you talking about?" now entirely confused.

Kagome proceeded to fill her in on how the gang was collecting the jewel shards and how it got broken.

Moriko asked her, "Kags, you mean the shikon no tama? The jewel grandpa is always going on about is real!"

Kagome replied very seriously, "Yes! And it's here, and for some reason I can sense the fragments... but that's not the worst of it, an evil demon named Naraku will stop at nothing to get it, and I mean nothing!"

Moriko asked, "Well what do we do now?" hoping for some answers.

Kagome started talking about her cousin and how I was really good with plants and stuff and she blushed.

Moriko replied, "Naw, not that good." getting slightly embarrassed.

Kaede looked at Moriko and proceeded to ask me tons of questions about herbs and stuff and she answered them all correctly.

Kaede suggested, "Hm, mayhap ye be here to help heal others then?" and then she walked off and went into the hut and went to bed for the night.

All the sudden the wind picked up and Inuyasha started growling. Moriko saw what looked like a tornado heading for her cousin. All of a sudden it disappeared and a man wearing a fur mini skirt looking thing was standing beside Kagome.

An obviously angry Inuyasha bellowed, "Hey you scrawny wolf why are you here!

The man in the fur mini skirt replied, "Why to see my woman of course!" as he put his arm around Kagome's shoulder.

Inuyasha bellowed, "WHAT! She ain't your woman wolf!" Moriko saw that his eyes were becoming scary looking.

The wolf man argued, "Oh yes she is mutt face!"

Moriko asked him, "Umm excuse me, but who are you and what's going on?"

He answered arrogantly, "I am Koga the leader of the wolf demon tribe."

Inuyasha screamed, "Get your hands off of Kagome you wimpy wolf ! I'll kill you!" Inuyasha started to draw his sword that was on his hip.

Kagome yelled, "SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha slammed into the ground so hard he made a crater and my eyes went wide with shock. Inuyasha asked, "Kagome why did you do that?" as he was pushing himself to his feet.

Koga smirked at him. Kagome pushed Koga's arm off her and introduced her cousin to Koga.

Kagome said, "Koga, This is my cousin Moriko" as they faced him.

He replied, "Ah! So that is why she smells a lot like you Kagome."

He turned to the older woman and said, "Nice to meet you," while smiling at her. He stuck his hand forward and they shook hands.

She replied, "Nice to meet you as well Koga." also smiling. Just then Moriko noticed a bunch of wolves all around them.

She asked, "What's up with the wolves?" once again curious.

Koga stated proudly, "They are mine."

She asked, "But they are wild, aren't they?" while looking at him.

He replied firmly, "Yes, but they obey me."

She asked him, "Oh okay. May I please pet one then?" sighed heavily and admitted, "I've always wanted to," with a dreamy look on her face.

He replied, "Sure." With a care free shrug.

Moriko said, "Thank you." with a smile. She walked over and put her hand on one of the wolves head and started petting its head just like a pet dog. She began scratching behind the ears, and then the wolf started licking her face and acting like a big friendly puppy. Soon all the wolves approached her for some attention.

Moriko mentioned, "Awww they're cute!" while petting each one in turn.

Koga said, "WOW! I have never seen anyone be taken to by them so quickly- especially a human. I am very impressed!" with a grin on his face.

She blushed feeling a little embarrassed, and informed him, "Thanks. I have always had animals just like me; it's been that way my whole life. I love being out in nature and thankfully the animals and I mostly get along, always have. Then again, I usually don't bother them either."

She stood back up and turned to face Koga. Smiling she asked, "So then in a sense Koga, I guess that would make you the Wolf demon Prince huh?"

He replied, "I have never thought about it that way but ...yes..." a little shocked.

She said, "Okay, I just wanted to make sure I have things straightened out. This is all so very confusing."

Inuyasha mentioned, "I can imagine it would be." while gazing into her eyes.

Koga walked back over to Kagome, and Moriko stood by the fire.

Inuyasha had a stunned look on his face.

Moriko asked, "What's wrong Inuyasha?" while looking into his golden gaze.

Inuyasha said, "Nothing." And walked over to where Kagome was and sat beside her.

Sango and Moriko started talking because she was really impressed with all that just happened.

As they were standing there talking, Miroku put his hand on Moriko's butt again and she smacked him hard enough he fell on his backside on the ground.

She yelled, "Keep your hands off !" while glaring at him.

Sango added, "You pervert!" then smacked him too, knocking him back to the ground because he had just gotten up.

Inuyasha and Koga both smirked. "Got what he deserves, eh?" they both asked while grinning.

Moriko looked at them and informed, "I can handle myself pretty well." then looked away and stared off into space as she sat down.

A little while later she stood up, announcing, "Well, I am going to bed." And walked off a little ways, curling up on a blanket and went to sleep.

The others stayed by the fire.

Kagome looked from one to the other and informed, "My cousin has had a pretty rough life, so she learned to be pretty tough just to survive. Trust me she can take care of herself around Miroku."

The others all agreed.

Kagome continued, "However, I'm afraid Naraku might go after her, so we can't let her go off alone! She must stay by us, after all Kaede did say she might be here because of her healing capabilities, and also perhaps because of her abilities with the animals"

Sango replied, "Yeah! That's not exactly normal."

Kagome added, "Plus she is a really good cook." with a smile. So they all talked it over a while and agreed Moriko should travel with them.

Kagome suggested, "Well now that that is settled, we should all turn in for the night. We are all going to have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." So they all spread out and bed down.

Shippo ran over to where Moriko was, curled up next to her falling asleep.

The Next morning just before dawn:

Moriko woke up and got up trying not to wake up Shippo. She walked off a little ways so as not to disturb anyone.

Inuyasha asked, "So, what has you up so early?" as he approached her.

She replied, "I couldn't sleep anymore." while gazing into his golden orbs.

He stated, "Must be confusing, being sent back here and all and only knowing Kagome." as his eyes softened slightly.

She admitted, "Yeah a little, but that's not what woke me... I felt something... something is wrong."

Koga questioned, "Huh? So you sensed it too, huh?" while looking at her a bit surprised.

She replied, "Yup." while staring into his aqua blue eyes.

Inuyasha said, "What are ya talking about? I don't sense anything."

Koga and Moriko just sort of looked at each other, then she walked off a little ways into the forest and Koga followed behind her.

Meanwhile back at the campsite:

The others all woke up and decided to follow them to find out what was going on.

They walked a little further and she sensed something over in one of the bushes.

Moriko walked over to it, reached out a hand and moved the bushes. She saw a wolf who had obviously been badly injured.

She cooed softly, "Oh no, your poor little thing." She stood back up, asking, "Kags, can you come here a minute?"

Kagome replied, "Sure ." walking over to where her cousin was and she bent down to look.

Moriko proceeded to pull back the bushes and showed them all the wolf.

She asked, "Kags, um do you have any bandages or maybe some gauze I can use?" while looking into her eyes.

Kagome searched inside her bag and brought some out and handed it to her.

Moriko said, "Thanks." while smiling at her and walked a little further back, gathering some healing herbs that she had noticed on the way in.

She said, "Yes, these will do nicely. Does anyone have a bowl or something like that I can use?

She queried, "Also can someone get us some fresh water, and start a fire please?"

Koga walked over then lifted and carried the wolf to the fire for her.

She said, "Thanks." while looking at him.

She boiled the water and tore off a piece of her long shirt. She was currently wearing a oversized shirt and stretch jeans, with hiking boots and her hair was down to my waist normally, but currently pulled into a high ponytail. She used the piece that she'd torn off as a cloth and proceeded to cleanse the deepest wounds of dirt and germs.

Moriko then mixed up the herbs that she had gathered and applied the herb mixture she had just finished making.

She said, "Now all this guy needs is to just get some sleep, and hopefully he should pull through just fine. I hope."

Koga thanked her for her unexpected kindness.

She replied seriously, "I can't bear to see any one, especially an animal, in pain." The others were all stunned.

"You knew the wolf was hurt and hiding there didn't you Moriko?" asked Kagome while looking into my eyes.

Moriko replied, "Yeah. I just knew something was in pain somewhere nearby, that's what woke me up." while holding her cousin's gaze.

"Yeah, I had just sensed it this morning and was about to go search for it when you got up. I didn't know anyone else could sense it though. I wonder how a human can sense things like that?" said Koga.

Kagome replied, "She has always just known when an animal is in pain." while looking at him.

Koga had a stunned look on his face with his jaw dropped open. Koga shook his head to snap himself out of it.

A clearly impressed Koga stated, "Kagome, your cousin sure is one of a kind! Not many people can feel what the animals do like that."

Kagome said, "She has since we were really little kids, it's just like its part of her, ya know?"

"I guess you could say it's a curse and a blessing. As you have pointed out Koga, not many people can do that. I guess I am just so sensitive when it comes to the animals." Moriko said evenly.

Miroku groped her butt again and she smacked him really hard, warning seriously, "Monk if you wish to remain in one piece... KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" and walked off in a huff and stood beside Kagome.

Moriko sighed heavily, looked at her cousin, and questioned, "Is he always like that?"

Inuyasha replied, "Yup, pretty much that stinking pervert can't ever behave himself." well gazing into her caramel eyes.

Koga smirked and exclaimed, "Well my dear Kagome, I have to hand it to your cousin, she is definitely one hell of a woman!"

Koga's POV:

I thought to myself, 'Hm perhaps I will make her my woman?'

Regular POV:

Moriko started blushing and replied, "Umm thanks." slightly embarrassed.

Author's Note: Okay guys and gals there is chapter one please remember to read and review thanks. Also let me know what you all honestly think of this storyline so far thanks.

P.S. I purposefully leave my beginning stories plain as are {minus spelling errors} so that others can see for themselves how much I've improved over the last 2 years. So no flames! Everyone is shaky as they grow as a writer. I myself appreciate seeing how well others improved overtime, and so I decided to leave mine the way I first wrote them. Don't like it? Then read elsewhere, but don't flame- that's just being asinine and childish.

I also want to say thank you to Hathor Grace, for all of her critical reviews. I appreciated being given the advice as a beginner.
