Hi there! So I'm having a go at writing an Inuyasha fic... this is my favourite anime at the moment, and this idea popped into my head a few days ago, so I attempted to make it real. This is more of a short introductory chapter, but I hope you like it! Feel free to review with your opinions, as long as they're not hateful. :)


The young brunette looked up in astonishment - where did the well house go? When did it get so sunny and warm? And where was her damn cat?

Just seconds ago she had climbed down into the well in the small building at the Higurashi shrine, trying to retrieve her rather large and dense cat Buyo. But as she got about half way down the ladder something in the air shifted; when she got to the bottom of the well everything had changed.

'Nothing bad could have happened, Kagome, you're probably just imagining things,' she tried - very unconvincingly - to tell herself. 'Just climb up the ladder and everything will be okay.'

As she stumbled over the edge of the well, she gasped at the sight before her eyes. Where her house used to be built, there were now just trees and flowers forming a forest all around her. She could hear the sounds of animals scuffling in the undergrowth and birds chirping to one another instead of the quiet of the shrine and the occasional car horn. Where was she?

Kagome decided it would do her no harm to explore, so that's exactly what she did. She wandered into the forest, hoping to find someone, anyone, who could tell her where she was and how she got there. Before long she came across a giant tree, and attached to the tree by an arrow was the most beautiful boy she had ever seen. He had lush, flowing, black hair and sharp features, and a lithe body, but he was wearing a strange red garment.

'What happened to simple jeans and a t-shirt?'

Suddenly it dawned on her that this very beautiful boy had an arrow straight through his shoulder, and his eyes were closed - was he dead?

She rushed over towards him, tears in her eyes at the thought of anyone being dead and yanked the arrow from his shoulder. She expected him to simply fall to the ground and so it came as a surprise when a hand shot out and grabber her by the neck.

"Who the hell are you?"

She panicked. It was the only thing she could think to do in that situation. A strange boy - who should have been dead - suddenly grabbed her and spoke to her in the most menacing voice she had ever heard. What else could she do? Kagome screamed as load as she could.

Only to be cut off mere seconds later by a hand covering her mouth.

"Be quiet, wench. You'll have the whole village after us!"

Wait a second... Village? She lived in Tokyo, the busiest city in Japan. There was no way anyone could mistake that as a village...

"Where am I?" She asked timidly. Yes, she was terrified of this boy, but he was the only person around to ask.

He looked at her as if she was stupid.

"Where d'ya think we are? We're just outside Kikyou's village. Which reminds me, how dare that wench shoot a damned sacred arrow at me and keep me sealed to that tree.."

His muttering continued while Kagome took in what he had said. Village? Sacred arrow? This sounded very much like what she had learned about the feudal era in her history classes. But there was no way she was there... Was there?

"Who are you?" She blurted out. If she was stuck in this strange place with someone who acted as rude as he was, she at least wanted to know his name.

"I'm Inuyasha," he replied, a look of shock mixed with disgust on his face, looking down at her as if she should know who he was.

"How did I get here? I mean, one minute I was in the well house looking for my cat Buyo, then I got here, and.."

He cut her off mid rant. "Shut up! I don't want nor need to hear your life story."

She stopped talking and a blush spread across her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I suppose you have no idea who I am, I'm just a bit confused about all this. I'm Kagome."

She looked up at him and smiled in the hope that this 'Inuyasha' would accept her hint to start over and be friendly. All she got was a 'Feh' and a glare.

Well, this is fun. I'm stuck in the strange place with a weird boy who hates me for no reason. What do I do now?
