New Friends from the Well

By: Deanna James

Chapter One: Demons Aren't Just Myths

Mitika and Ami walked down one of the paths in the Sunset Shrine and talked while they did so. They saw a huge tree in the middle of the shrine and a small building near the back of the shrine and it caught their attention more than any of the other buildings.

"Hey let's go see what!" Mitika said and grabbed Ami by the arm and drug her toward the old building that contained a well.

"Why do we have to go in here it's old and rugged and it's dusty." Ami said as she put her hand over her mouth as Mitika opened the sliding doors and dust flew into the air and Ami started to cough at all the dust. "Come on Mitika isn't there some thing else you want to look at besides a dirty old building?" Ami asked but she could really finish her sentence because Mitika had grabbed her wrist and drug her inside.

"Look it's an old well." Mitika said as she walked down the old stairs that lead down to the well.

The old well was made of wood and it had dust covering it. The floor around the well was nothing but dirt and there were some small weeds that grew in spare places.

"Now are you happy you got to see what was in here now can we go?" Ami asked and then she turned when her friend didn't answer her. Mitika was leaning over the edge of the well looking down in it. "Mitika if you fall in I'm not getting you out." Ami said and turned her head away from Mitika and crossed her arms and closed her eyes trying to ignore her friend.

"Ah come on Ami you know I'm not going to fall in...Ah!" Mitika yelled just as she was joking and stood on the edge of the well her foot slipped and she lost her balance and over she went but before she went Ami grabbed her hand and Mitika drug her down with her.

They were falling and waiting for the hard ground at the bottom but to their surprises there wasn't a hard ground so they opened their eyes to see a swirling abyss of purple and black around them. They were falling into nothing or at least that's what it looked like.

"What's happening?" Mitika asked in a scared voice as she closed her eyes tight.

"How in the heck would I know I'm just as clueless as you Mitika!" Ami yelled at her getting pissed at her friend for asking such a stupid question.

They finally hit something hard and they both rose up off the ground that they had hit and groaned a little. Mitika was the first to notice that something was really wrong.

"Ami we're back in well let's get out of here." Mitika said as started to climb up the wall of the well and when she made it to the top she just stopped dead in mid climb and her mouth almost hit the ground.

"What's wrong Mitika?" Ami asked as she climbed up next to her and looked out over the vast forest that lay out in front of her. "I don't think we're in Tokyo any more Toto." Ami said in a dumb tone trying to lighten up the moment.

"Where in the heck are we?" Mitika asked as she finished climbing over the wall of the well and looked around when she stood out side of the well.

Ami did the same and turned completely around looking at the forest around her. "Well I can tell you for sure that we're not at the Sunset Shrine any longer." Ami said and leaned against the well. "Hey did you hear that?" Ami asked as she jumped straight up in attention to the sound she had just heard coming from the forest edge.

"What did it sound like?" Mitika asked as she also got really alert toward the forest edge.

"It sounded like...Ah! What the heck is that?" Ami yelled and fell on her butt when a brown tornado flashed in front of her.

It was a young man who had raven black hair that was put up in a high ponytail and he wore a fur skirt and strange armor with fur shoulder pads. He also had a wolf's tail and his eyes were a crystal blue which were a lot lighter than Mitika's.

"I think he's a human." Mitika said as she backed up and fell on the ground next to Ami.

"I'm not no worthless human you wench, I'm a wolf demon, and my name is Kouga." Kouga said and looked down at the two human girls shivering in fear on the ground in front of him and then he noticed that they had something like the same clothes that his so-called "woman" Kagome wore. "Where are you from?" Kouga asked getting a little curious about the two strange girls.

"We're from Tokyo, Japan." Mitika got out as she shook in fear at the demon standing in front of her. She had read about mostly all types of demons but all the books had just said that they were made up creatures from Japanese myths but he sure looked real to her.

"What are you staring at? What are your names anyway?" Kouga asked wanting to know if they had strange names or not.

"I'm Mitika Umika and this is my friend Ami Hitikori." Mitika said as she finally got the courage to stand up and get a better look at Kouga. "Is that wolf tail real?" Mitika asked getting a little more curious than scared of Kouga.

"Huh?!" Kouga said as he looked at the girl coming toward him. "Hey stop that stay right where you are!" Kouga yelled and pointed a finger at Mitika.

She just stopped and lowered her head in embarrassment. "Sorry," She said in a scared voice now. She had never stood face to face with a demon before and even though she was curious of this creature from what she read she knew he could rip her apart in no time flat.

"Why are you out here all by your self's?" Kouga asked wanting to know more about these human girls who looked so much like his Kagome.

"We fell through the well and we don't know what happened but we ended up here instead of the Sunset Shrine." Ami said as she got up off the ground that she had been on ever since Kouga had first arrived.

Kouga looked at the two girls and he knew he couldn't leave them out here or some demon might kill them. "Come on you can stay with me and we'll find my woman..uhm I mean Kagome tomorrow and ask her about the well thing." Kouga said and turned and started to walk off but he knew the girls couldn't keep up with his speed so he turned and walked over to them and to the girls dislike threw one on each of his shoulders and started to run back to his den.

"Where are you taking us?" Mitika asked in a confused tone as she held on to Kouga for dear life.

"You can stay the night with my pack and I until morning comes." Kouga said and kept his gaze in front of him.

"Oh great this is one wonderful field trip." Ami said in a sarcastic tone as she propped her head on one of her hands knowing she was just along for the ride thanks to her little friend Mitika.
