Chapter One:
When Kagome had left for her own era, she had promised to return in 4 days, but when her teachers decided to go on strike yesterday, her mother let her return a day early. So when Kagome appeared on the feudal side of the well, there was no one there to greet her. That is, no one but a frightened and panicked old woman.
"Oh, blessed saint, you must be an angel sent from the heavens above! You've come to save my village, haven't you! Well then, waste no time! Follow me, and I shall show you the way to my home! Hurry now, girl!" the old woman sputtered all at once. Kagome didn't have a chance to interrupt the old woman to explain who she was. The odd woman snatched Kagome's wrist and dragged her away from the well.
"Umm, there must be some kind of mistake. I'm not really –", Kagome began before she was cut off by the woman. "Nonsense! I prayed for you, and now, here you are! And I know you are no normal girl! I can sense it!" The woman exclaimed confidently. "She's on to me..." Kagome mumbled under her breath. "Your unusual attire is proof enough." laughed the woman. Kagome let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, maybe not."
As the two of them neared the old woman's village, Kagome could see that disaster had already struck at least once or twice. "What happened here?" Kagome asked the old woman, who seemed stiffer now. "A massacre happened here. Only a few of us remain: the village monk, a young boy and girl, who have lost both of their families to the massacre, my lovely son, and of course, myself." As if on cue, each of the remaining villagers revealed themselves at the mention of their titles. The monk was a toned man, wearing a black and orange robe, almost like Miroku's. The young boy appeared to be no older than 5 or 6, and his jet black hair was tied back into a frizzy ponytail. The girl was not so young, but rather looked to be about Kagome's age. The woman's son really caught Kagome's attention, though. He wore a bright green kimono, and had long silky blonde hair, and sea-green eyes. Kagome could already feel herself blushing.
The woman went on to explain what had caused such a travesty. "Our village was peaceful and harmonious. We had no conflicts with any other village. One day, a man came upon our village in search of food and shelter for three days and three nights. Of course, the people of our village were kind and showed him sympathy. But on the second night, demons stormed into our humble abodes, apparently looking for this man. They claimed he had a jewel shard. They went into nearly every home, and when they found no jewel shard, they savagely killed the villagers inside. Only the monk's hut was spared, thanks to the barrier he cast upon it. These children, my son and I all ran to the monk's hut, and so we were all spared." The woman sighed deeply. "Many others also headed for the monk, but were killed on the way." Kagome looked at the woman, whose eyes were now glazed over. "I'm so sorry," Kagome whispered genuinely. "Well it's not your fault, dear." The woman replied. "Anyway, the monk's name Kaikou-sama, the boy is Seijun, the girl is Shinko, and my son here is Irotasha." The name hit Kagome like a ton of bricks. "I-Iro... tasha?" Kagome stuttered. These people were all so familiar, and no wonder why. The monk, the little boy, the young girl, and now Irotasha! "That's right dear," the woman responded. "Now, I'm afraid we haven't caught your name yet." Kagome blinked. "It's... Kagome. And yours?" The woman smiled sweetly and said, "You can just call me Nana." Irotasha let out a "Feh", and Kagome blinked again.
"Now, the reason we need you dear, is because we want to start all over again, and leave our unhappy past behind us. We will build a new village, and start a new civilization!" the woman laughed joyfully. "So why do they need me?" Kagome thought aloud. The woman walked over to where Irotasha was standing and motioned for Kagome to follow. She then began urging the others to leave. "We ought to be going now. But you two should get to know each other. After all, that's what fiancées do, isn't it?" The woman smirked and began to walk off. Both Kagome and Irotasha's eyes widened in anger and shock at the sound of this. "What... What... WHAT?!"
