By The Light Of The Moon Chapter 2: The Rise Of Inuyasha

"Kagome!!!" Sota yelled down the well. "Stop joking around, this is serious!" he desperately climbed down into the cold damp well, slipping down the moss. "MOM!!!" Sota screamed.

***********Over in America********************************

"Did you hear that?" asked a girl. "Hear what?" asked her friend as she pulled a blue sweater off the rack. "A little boy was screaming for his mom, I hope he wasn't in trouble!" she said. "Oh!" she exclaimed and pulled out a small pink sweater identical to the blue one her friend had (an: that was just a comic relief and had nothing to do with the story at all, I just was trying to make you laugh!!!) *************************************************************

"Sota! What's wrong honey?" she leaned over the well. She threw a rope down to him and pulled him out. "Buyo...and we...Kagome fell...I...gone!!!" was all she understood. "Sota, slow down, I can't understand a word you're saying!!!" she hugged Sota and tried to calm him down, "Now, talk slower and tell me what happened and why you were down there."...

"Impressive." Nodded the old woman. "What?" asked Kagome looking around. "Your wounds have healed themselves already." She pointed to where the cuts and bruises had appeared on Kagome's arms and legs. "Oh...yeah, I always heal fast, it's some sort of weird thing I've always had, and the doctor's said it was something in my blood." Kagome rubbed her arms. "Oh." Nodded the old woman. "I'm sorry, but I'm Kagome, I didn't catch yours." Kagome nervously chewed her lip, 'Why am I so nervous?' "I didn't give mine, you may call me Kaede." She bowed.

"Kaede..." Kagome looked thoughtfully up into the moon as if thinking about something.

************************************************************* "Kikyo!!!" yelled a little girl as she ran towards the older girl and grabbed her leg. "Hey Kaede..." she said weakly and fainted. *************************************************************

Back in the forest...

Golden eyes shot open. 'Kikyo' he thought. Inuyasha had awaken

"SHE WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?" screamed Kagome's mother. Sota cringed back into a corner. "I don't believe it!!" she yelled. "Come on Sota, we need to find that girl and get you two to school, she needs to pass that math test!" she grabbed Sota and ran out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What is all this stuff?" asked Kagome as she wandered around Kaede's little hut. "Herbs, potions, medicines." She pointed around. "Oh, kind of looks like stuff my Grandpa would have, he would love it here." Kagome stopped, her breathe caught in her throat, she looked lost. "What is troubling you child?" Kaede asked softly. "I don't know?" she asked, she didn't know, she didn't know where she was, when she was, what she was doing here, why she was here, and why was she the one who got all the bad luck?

"Here, drink, we will talk more in the morning." Kaede handed her a steaming cup, without question she swallowed it all and fell to the floor in a peaceful slumber.

************************************************************* "Lady Kikyo, the Vampirels have been summoned." Said a dark figure hidden in shadow. "Bring them here!" she ordered.

Vampirels; the youngest weakest vampire in the book. Half human half vampire, only half a soul. They can feed on the blood of humans or the flesh of animals. Although they are stronger than humans, they are weaker than the Vampirens. The Vampirens are the oldest, strongest vampires. Full blooded and dangerous, the hunt at night and live only on the blood of evil- doers. Vampirels looked like young teenagers in dark clothing with too much powder on their face, the Vampirens look older, more like in their mid- twenties.

A group of young Vampirels stepped into the room. Their usual laughing faces were dark and clouded with the fact that they were on the brink of war, and that half of the Vampirens were found, dead. Their eyes staring open, all the long years showed in those eyes, their mouths open and twisted in pain, blood splattered on their faces, those beautiful faces covered in their own blood, most of them were tied up and left in the sunlight for an hour, their skin was now dry and cracked, but the others had holes in their chests.

Holes where their hearts had been. One of the few ways you could kill a Vampiren is to leave them in sunlight, or the more gruesome way is to remove their heart, legend foretold that it would bring you amazing power if you were to eat the heart of a Vampire.

Their blood smelled rotten, but to a sharper nose, there was the hint of liquor. Vampirens feed on blood, they cannot eat the flesh of animals, the bread of the earth, most definitely not liquor. It thins their blood and makes them weak. *************************************************************

Kagome awoke on the floor of a small hut. "Ow." She complained and stretched. She slipped out the door and into the forest. Ever since she was little she would sneak out and walk around, she felt so alive at night, she felt so empowered by the light of the moon.

She explored further into the forest, coming to an opening. There up high in the sky was the fullest, brightest moon she had ever seen. She gasped and swayed with the breeze. "Kikyo..." she heard someone whisper and the sky went black.

Well, I got back earlier then I thought I would so here's the next chapter for ya!!! Does anyone know Kagome's mother's name? Please review!!!
