As Naraku stalked toward me with a wicked gleam in his eye, I realized that I was about to be killed. Soon, Naraku was upon me with a sharp sword in his hand. The sword's point was at my neck, right above my black, spiky choker. The sword resembled Tokijin, only this sword had a black handle instead of a red one. I smiled and laughed as I listened to my rapid breathing. Thinking of Tokijin reminded me of my Sesshomaru. Oh, Sesshomaru. I remembered meeting him as if it was yesterday morning.

Back to the day it all began...

I stared out the airplane window and went over in my head what I was supposed to do once the plane landed. I was to meet Kagome Higurashi at the airplane station in the food court area. I hoped I had enough Japanese knowledge to figure out where the food court was.

"Will everyone please put on your seatbelts. We will be landing shortly," the pilot said over the intercom. Just a few more minutes and I'll be jamming with Kagome. I can't wait to see her shrine. Hell, I can't wait to see Kagome! After talking to her for the past two years only on the Internet, I finally get to meet her. She sounds really cool. God, I am so glad Mama said I could come here, I thought as the plane declined and landed.

"You may now leave the plane," the pilot announced. I grabbed my "The Nightmare Before Christmas" bag and slung it over my shoulder. I stood up and a few people stared at me as I exited. I glared at them with my black rimmed eyes. They quickly walked away.

As I laughed at them, I scanned the station for anything that looked like a fast food restaurant. Once I did, I could not find Kagome. She said she would be wearing a green mini skirt and a white blouse with a green over jacket tied together with a red ascot.

I did not see anyone in a color even remotely close to green. I sat down with my journal, deciding to wait it out. I started writing a poem, just a spoof about being deprived of air in an airplane station, when I heard someone yell, "Haley! Over here Haley!"

I looked up and there stood Kagome. I smiled. She walked up to me and hugged me. "It's great that we finally get to meet!"

"I know! I see you have been working on your English," I said. Kagome nodded and mentioned her family had been studying and helping Kagome with English so that it would be easier for me when I arrived. "Thank you." I said.

Kagome and I walked out of the airplane station, chatting like crazy. Once we didn't stop to get a car, I asked Kagome, "Where's your car?"

She waved her hand. "My mom dropped me off. She had to stop by the grocery store not far from here, so she'll circle around in a few minutes and get us." She explained. I nodded. I needed the small work out anyways.

"So… How's this boyfriend of yours?" I asked. Kagome had told me all about this "great but two timing" boyfriend of hers. I couldn't wait to meet him. From what I had heard, he was a bad boy with really long white-silver hair. Kagome's friends had only met him once, but Kagome promised me that I could talk to him longer.

"Oh, you mean Inuyasha? He's great. He can't wait to see me again. Actually, as soon as I left him, he came back the next day hoping that I would go with back with him to his place already." She explained. I giggled. "Guys are so weird sometimes aren't they?" I asked. Kagome laughed with me.

Kagome's mom came up beside us on the street. Kagome and I climbed into the car. Ten minutes later, we were at Kagome's shrine.

Whenever we got out of the car, Kagome's little brother ran outside and greeted his sister and I. Kagome turned to me and said, "This is Sota, my little brother. Sota, this is Haley, the friend I have been talking about lately."

Sota waved but left to play with a friend of his that had approached the Higurashi's house. Kagome grabbed one of my bags and I grabbed the other two. We headed into the house.

Kagome climbed up a stairway and I followed her. Her house was quite nice. Very cozy and inviting. Kagome took a left at the top of the stairs and walked into a room on her right. The room belonged to a teenage girl. There were posters of Japanese boy bands and a picture of some very strange looking teenagers with Kagome in the middle of them on her wall. I set my things down and walked towards the picture.

"Who are these people?" I asked. Kagome blushed. "Oh, them? They're my friends from out of town. They don't live around here." I inspected the picture further. I thought to myself, These teenagers look as if they are from the Feudal Era of Japan. I read about that time period before I came here. The book I had said that everyone there believed in demons and were often terrorized by them.

"When do I get to meet your boyfriend? I am so anxious, I can hardly wait!" I said. Kagome smiled and laughed lightly. "Tomorrow, Haley. You are really impatient! I thought you were kidding when you told me a few weeks ago that you were!"

I laughed. It was sundown. Just a night away and I would get to meet Kagome's somewhat mysterious boyfriend.

After dinner, Kagome and I stayed up an hour or two and gossiped. "So how is your love life?" Kagome asked in English. I sighed. "Horrible. I have had my heart broken so many times, I'm afraid to get together with another guy!" I replied in Japanese. We were practicing our languages so that it'd be easier for both of us whenever it came to me having to speak to other people here in Japan and whenever Kagome needed to translate something for me if I couldn't catch what someone said.

I thought about how hurt I was from boys in America. Maybe boys here in Japan could be better than those horrible bastards that have taken pieces of my heart back in my hometown. Kagome and I started to catch some sleep.

I awoke, though, when I heard Kagome leaving the room. She was dressed in what I had learned was her usual attire. I pulled on my Tripp pants along with my corset and followed her.

Kagome walked into a shed nearby. I watched from around the corner of the doorway. Whenever I didn't hear any sound, I walked into the shed. In the middle of the room was a well. I looked around but didn't see Kagome. I looked into the well and saw a faint magenta light at the bottom. I jumped into the well to see what the light was.

I screamed when I was engulfed in the same magenta color and soared through a weird void. I landed at the bottom of the well. "That was weird," I said to myself. I looked up and saw dawn approaching, making the sky pink and orange.

I climbed out of the well and came face to face with Kagome and a guy with white-silver hair and dog ears. Kagome looked at me and asked, "How did you get through the well?"
