Chapter 2: The Bone Eater's Well

Candice scanned the crowd and took a deep breath.

"The lucky winner is Higurashi Kagome!"

Meanwhile , 500 years in the past by the bone eater's well.......

"Kagome !Baka get out of the way!" scowled Inu-Yasha

Inu-Yasha was extreemly tense considering they were fighting one of Naraku's offspring. What made matters worse was that Inu-Yasha's brother Sesshoumaru had come at about the same time. It had basically turned into a three way battle. Inu-Yasha weilded Tetsusaiga (A/N correctly pronounced Tessaiga. 'tsu' in english is a gollatal stop aka a speech pause, which basically means to make the first 's' sound in the word longer.Tet-sai-ga becomes Tes- saiga) batteling Naraku's offspring and Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru weilded Toukijin against Naraku's offspring and Inu-Yasha. While Naraku's offspring just tried to smash everything in its path. Needless to say this wasn't one of Naraku's smarter offspring.

Inu-Yasha swung Tetsusaiga at Sesshoumaru who simply moved in a graceful manner out of the way, while delivering an attack of his own to Naraku's offspring ,who at the moment was focused on smashing a tree in some obscure direction that wasn't the battelfield.

" As always little brother, your attacks are sloppy.Was that an attempt to strike me?" Sesshoumaru taunted.

Inu-Yasha scowled "I'll show you!You bastard!" Inu-Yasha gripped the sword tightly and swung to deliver the scar of wind.

Just as the awesome power of Tetsusaiga sped towards Sesshoumaru, promising certain death. Naraku's offspring hit the Youkai Prince from the side in its attempt to smash the bush next to him. The blow Sesshoumaru recived from the monster sent him head first into the depths of the bone eaters well.

IN THE PRESENT......

In the present Candice was sitting in her limo which was moving slowly but surely through the busy streets of Tokyo, towards the Higurashi shrine. Her mannager had decided that during this ride she would endure another interview. So there she sat, ocasionally glancing out the window, while the reporter asked her questions.

Holding a ballpoint pen a pad and a tape recorder , the reporter asked "So Miss Ishi, do you plan to live up to your name as the Multi-artist on your next album?"

Candice was bored with these questions.She heard them all the time and she always gave the same answer. "Yes I believe the album will uphold that image. There are some songs that are blues, pop, R&B,rock, punk, there's even a spanish song on there! I feel bad for the person who has to stack the CD's they won't know what genera to put it in!" she laughed lightly

The reporter continued " What tracks would you say you're most proud of on your album?"

Candice thought for a moment. She was proud of all her songs. "Well I think track 14 Best of Me is great and the colaberation I did with Aretha Franklin on a remake of her song Respect is great I'm incredibly proud of it!"

As the reporter began to ask another question the limo suddenly came to a stop. They were at the shrine.

Candice looked out the window to see the place where she would be staying for a month. It looked really simple and peaceful. Stepping out of the limo she stretched and took a deep breath. 'Hmmm this place looks so tranquil...they probably won't be that weird....' She waited as the limo driver got her bags from the back.

Her driver retrived her bags and started up the stairs.Candice spoke."Oh Tim its ok I can carry the bags myself. You an go and drop the reporter off." She took her bags from the driver and headed up the stairs, watching as the limo sped off.

She climbed up the stairs to the shrine and was met by the sight of a crowd of people.' Oh man!How can I get by without being seen?' She took a deep breah 'I'll just have to hide..but where?' She scanned the area for a good hiding place..'Ugh where can I hide untill they leave?' Just then Candice spotted a place 'Great a well house..no one will for me there!'

Candice made a mad dash for the well house and quickly slipped inside. She held her breath hoping no one had seen her. After waiting a few moments to see if the crowd would banng down the door, all she heard was silence. Satisfied, she let out the breath she was holding and slid down the wall she was leaning against to the floor.

For a moment all was quiet but then she heard a faint noise. ' Growling........' She listened harder. It was faint but it seemed to be comming from the well. ' They must have a dog that fell in the well!' She got up and walked slowlt towards the well intent on saving the poor thing. She reached the lip of the well and peered down. IIt was quite dark so she couldn't really see. The next thing she knew she was hanging in the air with a hand around her neck, looking into....golden eyes!!!!
