Written by: Uzumaki Ryooki
Beta: None yet
Disclaimer: I own the plot but not the cast!
FYI: I'm not good at updating regularly. I don't have a plot to this, it's just kind of happening.
NOTICE: If anyone wants to beta for me, I'd love you forever and give you cookies!
Ryooki: OK! For my purposes, pretend there is a scene here that talks about Kagome, Shippo, and Kirara saying bye to everyone in the village!
Inuyasha: Oi! What's that! You're so lazy!
Ryooki: HEY! What are you doing here?
Shippo: YEAH! You're dead!
Inuyasha:-:throws Shippo into wall:
Shippo: KAGOME!
Kagome: INUYASHA!
Inuyasha: Feh, what so you want wench.
Kagome: SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!
Ryooki: O…k then:Sweat drops:-:drags Inuyasha behind a bush:
Sesshomaru:…idiots…This Sesshomaru will inform you, seeing as there is no one else who has the mind capacity to do such a simple task. :glares at everyone:
Everyone:-:scratches back of head:
Sesshomaru: From the end of this chapter, to here on out, this will be a Naruto Fic, with only three of the Inuyasha characters. The authoress has changed them as she has seen fit.
Ryooki: That's right! And the squirrels agree with me too!
Sesshomaru:-:glares:
Ryooki: What?
Sesshomaru:-:Rolls eyes: I do hope you can suffer through this one chapter. The authoress is looking for a beta if any of you, poor trapped souls that got sucked into reading this, would care to help….anything else?
Ryooki: the reviews?
Sesshomaru:….what reviews?
Ryooki:….OK! In your reviews, the more constructive criticism you can offer (not flames! Criticism), the more likely I will be to give you an update! SOOO! Keep that in mind whenever you leave a review that simply says: "UPDATE SOON PLEASE!" make me feel like you actually read it and didn't just review to make me feel like its being read. Please? OK! Now on with the story!
Chapter 1
(A/n:….oh ya….I got off topic…pretend like they said bye to the village)
Kagome looked up to the sky and realized they would need to hurry. The clouds were coming in fast; one of those annoying summer showers that come out of nowhere.
She looked down the now worn path through the forest that let to the Bone Eaters Well. The once all wild grass and brush had been beaten into an unmistakable trail.
She thought back to all the times she'd traveled this path, so sure that it would take her home. But now? Where was that certainty? She certainly didn't feel it now.
She could hear Shippo chattering excitedly about all the things that they would get to do once they were there.
She couldn't help but smile. Over all her time in the past, Shippo really had become like a son to her. He even started to call her mom some time back before she had even adopted him.
Kagome sighed as she thought about everything that they would be leaving behind. She looked at all the parting gifts they had given her.
The village seamstress and Rin had gotten together to make Kagome her own little outfit from one of the pictures she had in a book.
Kagome had to chuckle a little bit as she looked down at herself. It wasn't what she would have thought they would have given her…to say the least.
The top was a black leather corset. On her arms, separate from the corset/shirt, were these leather arm things that started from the top of her biceps and ended at her knuckles.
The bottom was a black puffy/frilly skirt that ended half was down her thigh; which was about the length of her old uniform skirt. For her 'shoes' she had a pair of heeled leather boots.
Everything was trimmed in red lace and had some form of red stitched flowers somewhere on it.
If she hadn't fit in with everyone before, she doubted that she did now.
The village craftsman constructed her a light, thin chainmail/amour that could stay under her clothes, and was virtually undetectable and indestructible.
The farmers and herders gave her enough supplies to last a long time, just in case the well didn't work.
Kagome frowned at that thought. What if she still couldn't get home?
Kagome brushed that thought away and turned to Shippo.
"It'll be so cool! And since I have a more human form, I can go places with you! Cool! You said that there weren't any demons there right? That's weird! But it'll be cool! And maybe we can teach Kirara to have a human form too! That would be so cool! This is so cool!"
Kagome grinned and shook her head while she wonder why she had ever taught him the word 'cool'. Now he was using it every 2 seconds.
Finally, the well came into view. Kagome drew in a deep breath. This was it.
She suddenly felt very nervous. What if they didn't remember her? What if they didn't want her?
Kagome hit herself on the head to rid herself of such thoughts.
'Of course they didn't forget me, and they would never not want! They love me!'
With her newfound courage, she marched up to the well and let out the breath that she hadn't realized that she was still holding.
She turned to Shippo, who had Kirara in his arms.
"Are you ready?"
Kagome smiled as they both nodded vigorously.
Kagome knelt down and opened her new leather bag, another gift, and Kirara jumped down and crawled in. Not to much time later, Shippo changed into his kit form and climbed in as well.
She didn't know how this was going to work and she didn't want to take any chances of losing them.
She closed it back up and put it on her shoulders.
After making sure that it was secure, she got up, and slowly walked the rest of the way to the well.
Taking a deep breath and holding it, she jumped over the lip of the well.
She waited for the warm, comforting blue light to surround her, but it never came.
In its place came a cold, harsh red light that overwhelmed her.
Kagome felt the air rush out of her lungs in a silent scream, as this new light seemed to wrap painfully around her.
It kept wrapping tighter and tighter, until she could hear and fell her ribs start to crack under the pressure.
She tried to take a breath in, but found no air to breathe.
She opened her eyes to see what it was that was causing all of this.
No sooner had she caught a streak of silver in her sight, that she was forced the re-close her eyes as her shoulder was pushed out of place with an audible pop.
She struggled to open her eyes once more, and managed to see the silver streak coming straight at her.
Time seemed to slow as it got closer.
She kept her eyes on it as she felt her leg start to bend at an ungodly angle.
Spots started to cloud her vision as the lack of oxygen began to take its affect.
The closer the streak got, the colder she felt, and the harder the pressure compressed upon her.
In a matter of seconds the silver streak made a sharp impact with her stomach, and her leg gave way with a loud snap.
Her body went numb and the spots in her vision grew.
She tried to gasp for air one more time, only to have her lungs fill with liquid.
The last and only thing she felt, before her consciousness failed her, was a single trail of blood trickling from her mouth.
And then everything was black.
TBC!
