A story I wrote for myself and a friend. If you don't like the two new people please remember they are are just apart of the story.

Chapter 1: Down the… Sewer?

"Hey Kagome… Do you think- oh, never mind." Marki sighed going back to playing with the wet grass under his umbrella.

Kagome looked down at her from trying to catch the rain in her mouth, "What? Just say what's on your mind Marki."

The boy stood up, "Well, wouldn't it be cool if we found a rabbit hole leading to Otherworld?"

"You've been watching Alice in wonderland again, haven't you?"

"Maybe… but just think about it."

Kagome laughed "Alright. It does sound cool, but that only happens in fanfics or movies."

"I guess you're right…" Marki kicked a puddle. It rippled and as it settled an image of a white wolf running past appeared. Marki gasped "Kagome!"

"What?" She looked at him then where he pointed. Kagome was the next to gasp, "It's a wolf."

"No, it a boy…" The white wolf had become a dark brown haired boy running past mumbling, "There's no time. I'm going to be too late…"

They both watched with their mouths wide open.

"Come on. Let's see what he's late for." Marki took off after him.

Kagome followed her friend, "Wait I think we should leave him alone."

"Are you kidding? Let's see where it leads us- Wow!" Marki stopped as the white wolf disappeared down an open manhole.

"Oof!" Kagome ran into her, and then looked down, "He went down a sewer opening…?" She looked skeptically at Marki.

Who was folding his umbrella up, "Yep, come on let's follow." He sat on the cement and slid his lower body in.

Kagome grabbed his shoulder, "Following where? It's a sewer, it's not going to lead to anywhere fun."

Marki sighed, "True. I guess you have a- whoops!" His hands "slipped" causing him to fall down into the hole.

"Marki!" Kagome screamed. She waited for the sound of the crash and wail of pain… but it never came. "Marki…? This isn't funny." She slowly slid herself in and dropped down.

Again, Kagome waited to fall flat on the bottom of the sewer, but she didn't. She opened her eyes realizing she was slowly falling down a long tunnel. Kagome also noticed a familiar umbrella that was opened under her.

"Marki…?"

The boy grabbed a piece of wall that was sticking out, causing him to float awkwardly until Kagome grabbed the handle of the umbrella. He released his grip on the wall and they began floating down again.

"Hey Kagome, isn't this cool?"

Kagome looked around confused "This is… trippy… and kind of dark." A lamp began its way past and the taller girl reached out to it. Once on, it slowly started to change colors.

"And kind of deep…" Marki laughed nervously, "I just remembered something…"

"What?"

"I'm afraid of heights and it looks like a LONG way down…" Marki whined a bit while moving to cling to the older girl.

Kagome looked down, "You just had to say something." She chuckled looking up at the top of the umbrella.

The tunnel began to grow narrow and the umbrella lost some air. Both of them let out a scream until the umbrella caught again. Then it finally landed them safely on a checkered floor below.

They sat there disoriented for a moment before the wolf boy ran past again.

"There he is!" The shorter boy scrambled to his feet, "Come on, before we lose him again!" He ran down the curving hall and disappeared around the corner.

Kagome groaned while using the umbrella to help her up before going after Marki, "Yeah let's forget the partial cripple!" When she rounded the corner she walked next to a crouching Marki staring at a small door. "You have to crawl through it."

"I know! I was just waiting for my crippled friend." Marki laughed.

Kagome chuckled with a smirk, "Come on." She opened the door and army crawled through it.

On the other side the sound of another door closing echoed threw the hollow room. Kagome and Marki looked around before moving straight towards another small door.

"Agh! More crawling?" Kagome groaned out loud.

"Who's crawling and through where? I have to say if it's through me, I'm not having it until you're much, much smaller."

Kagome looked at Marki, "Did you…?"

Marki shook his head "I-"

"Of course he didn't speak! Why don't you clean your ears and look down!"

The pair did as the voice said, "A talking doorknob?" They echoed.

"What were you expecting? A tiny door man?" The doorknob scoffed. "Now as I was saying if you want passage you're going to have to shrink to a much smaller size."

"How do we-" Marki started again only to have the doorknob scoff at him.

"The bottle on the table of course." He motioned over to the table that materialized out of nowhere. "Oh, and don't forget the key… last time there was a problem with a little girl crying all over the place and it wasn't pretty."

Kagome picked up the bottle marked 'Drink Me' "Is it safe?"

Marki shrugged picking up the key "I don't know. Try it."

"No, you do it!" Kagome tossed it to him.

Marki barely caught it, "Fine." He took a sip. "Tastes like Dr. Pepper!"

Suddenly Marki shrunk down to the size of the door.

"Woah!" They both echoed.

"Your turn!" The now very short boy shouted. Kagome picked the bottle back up with a sigh and was soon miniature.

As they exited through the door its owner laughed, "Welcome to wonderland. Let's hope you make it out of here."
