Chapter 2: Where am I?

Ali looked into the family well. After her and Natalie's argument she needed to calm down. So she did what she did every morning. Threw a quarter in the well and put her hands together to whisper her wish into them. Ali never asked for big things. The occasional help with tests and schoolwork. But sometimes she would just ask for a good day.

"Ali come on. You do that every day! Can't you skip it just this once?" Natalie was whining again. Alis best friend for as long as Ali could remember. Short brown hair, brown eyes, and the patience of a bull. That was Natalie's one flaw.

Ali put her hands together as if praying. "I wish-"Ali was being shaken. "That Nat would stop bugging me today." She turned around to look at Natalie with daggers shooting from her eyes. Her eyes grew darker than the color of the forest. "What? What is so important?" Natalie just stared at the well.

"D-did you s-start fireworks in t-the well?" Natalie was scared. She started to shake a little but quickly stopped. 'I won't let Ali see me scared! She wouldn't let me live it down!'

Ali looked at the well and gasped at the bright light the well was shooting out. She thought that she would go blind. But it was quickly gone. "Nat? What in the world was that?" Natalie just shrugged and yawned.

"I have no idea. It could have been a trick of our minds. It is like 7 in the morning..."

"Yeah. But just in case…." Ali walked over to the well. 'it seems ok….but maybe on the inside its all burned…' out of sheer curiosity she looked over the edge just as an object with silver hair and red clothes jumped out of the well. Knocking Ali over as it went. Ali landed on her backside. "Hey!" the thing landed in front of her. She then saw it was a man. He had long silver hair and golden eyes that if you stared into too long you forgot everything else that was happening around you.

"Hey. Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked. Since when he came out of the well he accidentally knocked this girl over. He was surprised when he didn't find kagome up here, but soon recognized the human scent that came from the well came from this girl. He asked again. "Are you ok?"

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm ok." Ali stood up and brushed the dirt off of her jeans. She looked at him again. He was a head taller than her and his hair was unnaturally long. But what baffled her the most was the dog ears on the top of his head. 2 silver ones to match his hair. "oh my god! Are those real?" his ears twitched to the sound of her voice.

"What? My ears? Yes their real." This was the voice he heard coming from the well. 'Is this girl a miko? And why did I hear her in the well? Why did I smell her scent coming from the well?' his thoughts where interrupted when he felt hands on his ears.

"They're really soft!" she rubbed them in her fingers like she does with her kitten. Buddy.

"I wanna try!" soon Natalie's hands where messing with Inuyashas ears. He slapped away both of their sets of hands.

"Keh. Don't touch my ears." Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest.

"But it's fun!" both the girls whined. Yep best friends indeed.

"What's your name anyway?" Ali's curiosity surfaced once again.

Inuyasha was hesitant to reply. 'Ah what the won't hurt to tell a couple of girls my name.' "My name is Inuyasha." The girls squealed.

"Oh my god that name is so cute!" Ali said while digging into her backpack. She pulled out a squar silver object that Inuyasha didn't recognize till she took a picture of him. "Now smile for the camera!" Inuyasha frowned. "Come on. Please?" he shook his head "please?" Ali was getting angry. Natalie went behind him and forced a smile by pulling the corners of his mouth up.

"Hurry take the picture!" Ali did and Natalie let go of Inuyasha.

"What the hell woman!" Natalie slapped him.

"Don't you cuss at me!"

"I can cuss if I want to! I'm older!"

"I don't care if you're older! I'm younger and there for don't need to be cussed at!" Ali sat down as Inuyasha and Natalie started to have an argument that Natalie would soon win.

~2 hours later~

Natalie smirked. She had Inuyasha right where she wanted him. "On this household the younger get the respect of an elder and people like you who cuss get the ultimate punishment and they usually don't come out from the punishment the same. And I don't want to take you to the punishment so apologize or let god have mercy on your soul."

Inuyasha was stunned. Was this girl serious? He looked to the other girl for help but found she was fast asleep on the ground leaning against the well. How long had they been arguing? He didn't know. "Uh…."

"Well?"

"Sorry I guess?"

Natalie smiled. "That will have to do. Now, where's Ali?"

Inuyasha pointed to the sleeping friend. "I think that is Ali. Correct?"

Natalie stared at ali. "yeah…..wait. She fell asleep?" Natalie walked over and kicked Ali gently.

Ali awoke very angry. She almost yelled. "Nat! How many times have I told you not to kick me! You know how mad I wake up if you do!" Natalie shoved her watch in front of Alis face. 9:27. Alis eyes widened. They were late!
