AmiSami: Yay! My first fanfiction on this website ( I used to write on quizilla) :) This isn't the one from my profile. I'm still editing that one. Reviews please! And please be nice, I'm very sensitive to criticism.

Chapter 1: Quiescence

"Inuyasha, is it just me, or have the demon attacks on humans been growing more frequent lately?" A girl with black hair and big brown eyes named Kagome commented. A few moments ago, they had slayed the fifth demon that day that had attacked a human. Lately, no matter where they went, there was a human being attacked. It pained her to think of the humans they had not been there to save.

The silver-haired half-demon nodded solemnly. "I noticed that, too."

"Me too," Miroku and Sango added at the same time. Kirara meowed as if in agreement. Miroku, a lecherous monk with his black hair pulled into a small ponytail, continued, "Something strange is going on…Do you think it has anything to do with Naraku?"

Kagome thought about this, "He has been quiet lately… But what would this accomplish?"

Inuyasha clenched his fist. "What is that bastard up to?"

"Whatever it is, he's getting a lot of innocent people killed," Sango replied.

Shippou commented from his perch on Kagome's shoulder, "As if he cares."

"We have to figure out his plan and stop him," Inuyasha said, "And—" he stopped mid-sentence. A certain look came to his eyes as he sniffed the air. They knew the look too well. All eyes strayed to Kagome.

She avoided all their eyes. "Is it…Kikyo?" she asked carefully, trying to hide the pain in her voice. Inuyasha nodded slowly. "Go see her."

"Kagome are you su—"

"Go, Inuyasha." He threw her one last torn look and was off.

When he found her, Kikyo was sitting on a large rock, staring out at the river before her. Her back was to him and her soul catchers drifted indolently around her. He stood there, watching her. She sat so still it looked as if she were carved from stone.

"Inuyasha," she said suddenly. "I supposed you have noticed the rise of demon attacks on humans?"

"I have," he replied.

"This is the work of Naraku."

"How is he doing this?" Inuyasha asked. Naraku was not exactly the most liked person in the world.

Kikyo stood and faced him, "That I do not know." She admitted. "But I do know his goal."

"What would that be?"

"Long ago, there was a powerful demon named Yuki Ibaraki. Demons and humans alike respected him. He kept the peace between humans and demons. He would not allow the two to fight and kill one another. Everyone obeyed, for they feared the wrath of Yuki Ibaraki. There was great peace. Until, he fell in love with a human woman. Of course, demons live longer than humans do, therefore it was impossible for them to be together, but he found a way. He met an old shaman that helped him. She sucked his demon powers from his body, making him human. Rumor has it that although the demon powers were taken, the blood remained in his body, and was passed down through the generations. They believe it is only dormant and can be awaken, but no one knows how. Naraku believes that if he can cause chaos between humans and demons, it will awaken the demon blood in the surviving Ibaraki's, then he can find them and absorb their powers. What he does not know, however, is that there is only one true Ibaraki left, and she resides in the Kagome's era." Inuyasha was silent as he took this all in. That's what Naraku was planning?

"What do we do?" he asked.

Kikyo turned her back once more, "I need you and Kagome to find her and bring her back to me, so that I may find a way to awaken her blood. But we must be careful, Naraku will soon find out. He will try to capture her."

"So this is Naraku's doing?" Sango asked after Inuyasha related the story to them.

"We have to find this girl and bring her here? How? How will we know who she is, and if we do, how do we convince her to come with us?" Kagome wanted to know.

Inuyasha shrugged, "Hell if I know. We'll just have to make it up as we go."

Kagome still had qualms, "But how do we even know who she is?"

Inuyasha shrugged again, "Her last name is Ibaraki or something." The name sounded strangely familiar. Ibaraki...Ibaraki…

"Sayuri Ibaraki!" she exclaimed. "I know who she is. She goes to my school. She's the most popular girl, everyone loves her."

"See, it'll be easy."

Kagome was suddenly crestfallen, "But I've never talked to her in my life. She doesn't know me. How would we convince her to come to the feudal era?"

"I don't know, but hurry up, will ya? We have to go to the present."

"Miss Ibaraki, do you happen know the answer?" Sayuri Ibaraki's teacher suddenly asked. Every pair of eyes in the classroom turned to her expectantly. The unnaturally-blond and pink haired girl casually shifted her gaze from the cell phone hidden under her desk to the board at the front of the classroom. Quickly, in her head, She calculated the answer. She had always been a genius in math.

"Um…negative four?" It was more of a question. The teacher seemed disappointed that she could not embarrass her in front of the class.

She nodded curtly, "That is correct." Stiffly, she turned back to the board, and began to show the work involved with finding the correct answer. Sayuri returned to finishing the text she was sending to her best friend/ex-boyfriend/almost-boyfriend-again Yuki. Simply put, the two went out, broke up, and now he wanted her back. She highly doubted that would ever happen, but he was persistent.

She ran a hand through my long hair. A few guys watched as she did so. Besides her sense of humor and laid-back attitude, people loved Sayuri's unique sense of style. She was the only one in school with her lip pierced—although the faculty almost made her take it out; Until she told a story about how it was a family tradition to get a lip-piercing (although she has no "real" family) Adorable bows adorned her hair each day, and tons of bracelets were piled onto her wrists. She wore brightly colored eye shadow and eyeliner.

Her big brown eyes strayed to the clock on the wall. Thirty more minutes until school ended. Impatience consumed her. After school, she would go home, do homework, go out to dinner with her foster parents, then go to a party Yuki was throwing. For a reason unknown to her, she felt as if something was missing from my schedule; As if there was something she was supposed to be doing that she wasn't…

After what felt like hours—even though it was only thirty minutes—class finally ended. She practically flew out the classroom. School was finally over for the day! As she passed them, people greeted her with things like, "Hey, Sayuri!" and "Are you coming to the party?" She replied politely with a smile and a joyful, "Of course." When she got outside, Yuki quickly caught up with her. He grabbed her from behind and pulled her into a tight hug.

"You're still coming, right?" he whispered into her ear.

She turned around and playfully punched him. This had to have been the tenth time he'd asked. How much assurance did he need? "Yes, I told you I wouldn't miss it for the world. Even if…even if it suddenly imploded." She replied. When he laughed at this, it looked as if it were from a scene in a romantic comedy. His brown eyes sparkled, and the wind dramatically ruffled his shiny, black hair, then tossed it back into his dark eyes. He flipped it away. "Well, I gotta run, see you there." She said. Before she could leave, he grabbed her by the shoulders, leaned down (way down due to her shortness), and kissed her lightly on the cheek. She was slightly taken aback—he had never been that bold with his flirtatious attempts to get her back. Recovering quickly she waved as she hurriedly made her way off campus.

Sayuri nearly ran down the sidewalk towards her house. Partly because she was in a rush, and partly because she was a bit flustered about what had happened at school. As she turned the corner, she collided with a bright red brick wall. Her books flew out of her hands in all different directions and she fell backwards, landing on her rear.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" the brick wall turned around and yelled at her rudely. She looked up to glare at a boy with long white hair, golden eyes, and a weird red outfit on. On his head was a baseball cap.

"You're the one standing in the middle of the side walk like an idiot," she retorted just as rudely as she stood and began to gather her books that were scattered all over the ground. "Maybe next time you should move your ass."

"What did you—?"

"Inuyasha!" a voice interrupted from behind her. A girl with had black hair and big, child-like, brown eyes ran towards them. She was wearing the same uniform as Sayuri. "I'm sorry about him, he doesn't have any manners." She looked pointedly at the one named Inuyasha. "Let me help you—" her eyes suddenly widened. "Sayuri?" she asked as if she could not believe it.

The blond girl raised an eyebrow. "Do I know you?" She questioned feeling kind of bad. They obviously went to the same school, yet she had never noticed her before

The girl knelt next to her and began picking up the rest of Sayuri's books. "Uh, yes, well, I think. We have math together." This made her feel worse. They actually had a class together?

"Really?" she asked, partly because she didn't remember her and partly because, upon inspection, she discovered her cell phone now had a huge scratch on the back.

"Yes, I'm Kagome Higurashi" she said handing over the last book.

She retrieved it from her and smiled, "Sayuri Ibaraki."

"Kagome, this is her!" The boy named Inuyasha shouted so suddenly it made Sayuri jump. He grabbed her roughly by the upper arm. "Come on! You're coming with us," She was completely taken aback as he began dragged her away from her house.

"What the hell? Let me go!" she screamed as she struggled against his iron grip. It was like a kitten wrestling a bear. A few pedestrians watched curiously as they passed by, making sure to quicken their paces.

Kagome was shocked, too. "Inuyasha! Stop it! Let her go," She demanded. Inuyasha stopped to glare at her.

He released her arm and turned to face the dark-haired girl. "Why?" he demanded, "She's right here, let's just take her now and explain later," he told her as if it were the most obvious thing to do.

"Inuyasha, we can't do that!" she argued, "It's kidnapping."

Sayuri only stared at the strange dude and the girl from her math class. Slowly, she backed away as they continued their argument. When she was far enough to get a head start, she turned around and broke into a run. She wasn't even going towards her house, but as long as she was away from those two she was fine.

She ran past a shrine that caught her attention. For some reason, she thought she saw a strange light, and felt some sort of force pulling her towards it. Her mind told her to keep running, it would be trespassing, but curiosity got the better of her and she slowly approached it. Before going in, she made sure to look around and make sure no one was watching. When the coast was clear, she slowly poked her head in, then the rest of her body until she was inside. The shrine was filled with many strange and interesting items, but what dominated her attention was an old well in the center. Warily, she glanced through the sliding doors before returning her interest to the well. When she turned back, covering her mouth was all she could do to stop herself from screaming—the cat that suddenly sat on the steps leading to the well had scared the living hell out of her.

"Hey little kitty," she whispered. Her heart was still racing from the unexpected scare. With outstretched arms, she slowly approached it, only to be greeted with a hiss and an arched back. "Fine then." she muttered as it ran past her and out of the shrine. Instantly, her focus went back to the well. Slowly and apprehensively, she climbed the first step. The pull became stronger with each step. By the time she reached the well and looked over the edge, the feeling was no longer a slight tug at her conscience. It was now yanking her as if forcing her to go into the well. The well slightly frightened her. It looked dark and dirty…Who knew what kind of bugs and creatures lived down—

The next thing she saw was a blue flash of light, then darkness. She knew she wasn't dead—she was in too much pain to be dead—and too aware of the fact that a bug was crawling on her arm at the moment. Quickly, she brushed it away as she scrambled to her feet. Looking up, she could see that she was still in the well. How the hell am I supposed to get out? She thought to herself. With great dread, she concluded that she would have to climb out.

For a second time, she assessed the damage to her cell phone, shoved all her books into her backpack, and then slung it over her shoulders before grabbing hold of a stone that jutted out of the well wall. It was more physical work than she had ever done in her life, but she finally made it out of the well and realized...she was going to miss that party.

AmiSami: I wrote this chapter in 3rd person just to do the description of Sayuri. I may put the second chapter in 1st person to encompass more of her playful/sarcastic personality and her laid-back disposition.

Make sure to read and review! Then I'll continue posting.
