Distribution: Take it but leave your site addy.
Summary: An attempted fusion of Modern and Ancient Japan.
A few kinks in the vanilla flavored original plot.

"Okaa-san, can I go out and play?" Kagome said forming
her mouth into a cute pout,"Miaka and Yuki are waiting for me".
Fixing a teasingly stern look to follow her smile Shoka Higurashi
said,"Hai musume, mochiron omoidasu e shitagau ni Kocho,
dakara konojo da issho ni iku anata".
"Does she have to come 'kaa-san?" she whined petulantly, her
pout becoming more genuine and defined as she thought of her
unwanted nanny.
"Must you whine so shrilly?" a tired and brittle voice snapped
interrupting from the doorway of the hut. "Kocho-san!" Shoka
said with a touch of worry in her voice hoping that the elderly
midwife hadn't been offended by her daughter's unthinking
statement-she really was a selfish thing at times. Ignoring Shoka
for the moment Kocho fixed the child with a stare rivaling the
intensity of a hawk,"you do know that now the dogs are weeping
from hearing you". To which little Kagome had nothing but silence-
cat had her tongue.
"Shoka, do not forget my gift," the midwife said-the look in
her eyes speaking more hidden meaning than words ever could, as
Shoka scrambled to secure teh charmed bracelet to Kagome's
wrist. "Are you coming child?" Kocho snapped silverquick-her
fondness for the girl buried deep beneath her tone,"your little
friends are not going to wait forever." That quip sparked Kagome
into a mad dash towards the outside. After the first ten minutes of
play Kagome herself never noticed a blue stone falling to earth
leaving the set of stones in her bracelet but someone did notice.
Reacting quickly Kocho grabbed Kagome away from her
activities and swiftly dragged her home to the surprise of her and
her friends.
"SHOKA?! SHOKA??!!" the midwife yelled into the hut very
alarmed at what had happened though she was sure in Kagome's
eyes that it was a seemingly insignificant event to happen. Quickly
showing herself Shoka was about to question what happened?
What was wrong? But before she could, she was told what she
always feared would pass, "Her charm broke, Shoka, hurry and
go get your things!" She had endangered the village and her family
by staying here knowing as she did. "I'm going to get some herbs
and charms, I will be right back, be ready in five minutes," Kocho
said a bit saddened to be leaving as well. 'Why?' was all Kagome
could think in alarm since the first words fell from the two
women's lips then a chill traveled up her spine with the call of a
nearby wolf howl being followed by a collective response.
"Hurry," was all Kocho said with desperation touching her voice
at last as she moved to get her things as well. Her eyes darkened
into a pool of faintly disguised fear as a high shrill scream like that
of a child came from just inside the village- she quickly turned to
see what it was to cause such a scream of fear, pain, and
hopelessness then all she felt was pain and a brief sensation of
falling into darkness as whatever it was to cause the scream found
her first.
