I don't own Inu-Yasha. Unfortunately, Rumiko Takahashi thought of it
first. So, I am merely borrowing it for a while. Please do not sue.
The only thing that I could possibly give you is pocket lint, and
that's only on a good day. That said, please enjoy the story.
Okay, I made a couple of changes. I went back and looked really hard for any spelling/grammar mistakes. I also put the story into shorter paragraphs as several reviewers suggested. Hopefully, it will be easier to read.
*********************************************************************** *******
The sound of someone running broke the eerie silence surrounding the Bone Eater's Well. In the distance, a young girl, carrying a very large backpack could be seen making her way between the trees. Every once in a while she would stop and glance behind her. Then, with a look of worried annoyance on her face, she would continue running.
The girl had almost reached the well when the cause of her annoyance came crashing through the brush and into the clearing. The annoyance in question was a certain white haired hanyou. He took a running leap and landed with perfect grace on top of the well. " Inu Yasha", the girl said in a tired voice. "Kagome", he answered rather angrily. " We go through this every time. I stay here for a while and help you look for the Shikon jewel shards. Then I get to go home for a few days, you know this", she said pointedly.
The dog demon glared at her before saying, " I know that you're always leaving us behind so you can go take those tests." " Those tests are very important.", Kagome said calmly. Inu Yasha sniffed and said, " Not nearly as important as the Shikon jewel." The sky behind her grew dark as she yelled, " Get out of my way, Inu Yasha! You are not gonna stop me from going home." The half-demon stared down at her with a smug little smile on his face. " I'm not moving, and you aren't going anywhere", he smirked. The last of what little patience she had left finally dissipated. In retaliation, she yelled, " SIT", at the top of her lungs.
Inu Yasha instantly found himself face down in the dirt beside the well. While he was on the ground, Kagome dropped her pack into the well and then jumped in after it. Inu Yasha stood up, but not fast enough to catch Kagome. " Feh, stupid girl. If she thinks I'm going after her then she's got another thing coming.", he said to himself. Angrily, he dusted himself off, made a face in the general direction of the well, and slowly walked back the way he came.
Meanwhile in modern Tokyo, Kagome landed with a thud on the dusty bottom of the well. She stood up, rubbed her backside, and said, " Ouch! I really have to find a better way to do this." Her backpack lay on the ground beside her, so she grabbed it and began to climb out of the well. As she did so, her thoughts drifted back to her last encounter with Inu Yasha. " Stupid...stupid hanyou. Thought he could keep me from going home did he? Maybe I'll just stay here, and never go back. That'd show him." she muttered to herself.
She hopped over the side of the well and found herself, once again, looking at the familiar walls of her family shrine. Kagome opened the doors that enclosed the well and took off running towards her house. She couldn't wait to take a bath, a nice long bath. Exploring the Sengoku period of Japan was fun and all, but nothing beats the joys of indoor plumbing. However, all her wonderful plans of getting clean and then getting something to eat were cut drastically short.
There stood in her yard, about half way between the house and the shrine, a boy who looked to be about her own age. His hair was the oddest shade of green. It was a color that was somewhat darker than the grass he stood on, yet lighter than the leaves on the trees that surrounded them. He had his back turned to her, and appeared not to notice that anyone was behind him. Kagome coughed, and said, "Um...hello? Can I help you?"
Slowly, the boy turned to face her. She was able to see his face for the first time. His hair wasn't his only peculiar feature. She only knew two people with eyes that color and she had left both of them back in feudal Japan. Walking towards her, he said, " Well, If it isn't the ever elusive Higurashi Kagome." Slightly shocked that this mysterious person already knew her name, she said the first thing that came to her mind, " Did you know that you have green hair?"
The boy looked at her with a blank expression on his face and then began to laugh. " You know most people would've said something like who are you or how do you know my name. What an amusing question. And finally, to answer your question, I am fully aware of the fact that I have green hair.", he said after he finished laughing. Kagome blushed a little. What had possessed her ask that out loud? He stopped and stood just inches in front of her. She took half a step backwards before asking, " So, just who are you and what do you want?" He stared at her for a minute or two then said, " Hmm, demanding aren't we? In that case, I think I'll tell you. I am Kobayashi Yuki and I want what you've got."
(A/N: Well, how's that for my first chapter. This is my first Inu Yasha fic, so hopefully I didn't mess it up to bad. Please don't flame too harshly. However, constructive criticism is appreciated. And thanks to anyone who reads it!!)
