~ Yokubou/Kagome 's POV~
I stared at the boy in front of me in wonder. It was the first time I had seen such cute ears! I could not resist it. I nervously inched forward until I was in front of him. I then reached my hands out, and started stroking and pulling them. I knew it was kind of being in the wrong timing, me being lost, late for school and all that, but I simply could not help it! The ears were so cute!

Suddenly, arrows flew past her and hit the tree. Kagome early jumped in fright. She turned. There was some man who looked like they just stepped out of her history books. "Just where am I?" thought Kagome. "She looks suspicious. Let's bring her back to Lady Kaede." Someone said. All the others agreed. Kagome soon found herself bounded and dragged, like a prisoner. She struggled, but the ropes were too tight. She could not escape.
She was forced to kneel in the middle of a village. Everyone came out to see what the commotion was. Some were whispering among themselves. "Kitsune in disguise", "Spies from the neighboring countries", Kagome only caught snippets. But that was not the main issue. She was more concerned of what was going to happen to her.
"Make way for Priestess Kaede!" Someone announced. A gap in the circle opened as an elderly woman carrying a bow hobbled in.
"Okay… the weirdos just got weirder." Thought Kagome. She was seeing someone in a priestess robe, with an eyepatch over her right eye. Wrinkles lined her face. When the priestess saw Kagome, she froze. She said, " Look up.", and pulled Kagome's face up, examining every inch of her face. "You look like her. You look like Kikyo, my sister, who died 50 years ago." Kaede mumbled, low enough for Kagome to hear.
~Later that night~
"Here. Have some food." Kaede said. Kagome asked as to where she was. From Kaede, she realized that somehow, she was in the feudal era of Japan, 500 years ago.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash outside. They both rushed outside, only to see a centipede attacking the village. The very one that pulled Kagome into the era. As soon as the centipede caught side of Kagome, she dove for her. "Give me the shikon-no-tamma!" She hissed. Kaede stared at the young girl in shock. "You have the jewel…" Kaede was asking before they ducked away from the attack. "Priestess Kaede! What should we do?" "We have to draw it to the bone's eater well!" Kaede ordered. Kagome thought, "Could it be the well I came out of?" She asked, "The well. Is it in the forest? Towards the light?" Kaede started in shock and nodded. Kagome took off, knowing that the centipede would follow her. "That child… She could see the aura? The one that only those with spiritual powers can see?" Kaede thought in wonder of the child she just met.
At the forest, someone awoke. "I smell her. The one who killed me!" He said with a snarl.
