Princess Kat: This idea just came to me. -___- It is kinda cool, though. I
haven't seen anything like this before! So, I'm guessing it's original.
Summary: What if Sango is the modern-time girl that falls through the well? What if Miroku is the one pinned to the tree? ^^ Miroku kind of acts like Inuyasha at first, but not really. The story line will change more from the original as we go along.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. ;-;
Princess Kat: Anyone that could help me come up with a title, please, HELP!

A girl in the normal school uniform glanced at the key chain with a little jewel on the bottom. "The Shikon no Tama?" She asked.
"Yes. As long as one has this, one's family will know safety and prosperity." The old man in front of the girl said.
"And people actually pay money.........for these marbles?" She asked, examining the key chain.
"Hear its legend, Sango. In the beginning, the Shikon no Tama..." The old man said, but Sango cut him off.
"Please, Grandfather, I don't want to hear its legend." Sango said as she held the key chain above her fat cat, Buyo. Buyo tapped it with his paw. "Do you remember what tomorrow is?"
Sango's Grandfather sighed, then pulled a wrapped box out of no where and handed it to Sango. "Could I ever forget my adorable Granddaughter's birthday?"
"For me?!" Sango exclaimed as she grabbed the gift joyously.
"It's a day early but...happy birthday, Sango!" Grandfather said.
Sango pulled the wrapping off and opened the box to reveal.........
"It's a mummified hand of a kappa water-sprite. The legends hold that whosoever possesses this..." Grandfather said.
Sango held the hand out to her cat. "Breakfast for you, Buyo."
"HEY! THAT'S WASTEFUL!" Grandfather exclaimed.
~*~
'My house is a very old, but cool, shrine.' Sango thought while sitting at the breakfast table with Grandfather and brother.
"The legend of these pickles is..." Grandfather said.
"You bought them from Ujiko-san, right?" Sango asked.
Sango finished her breakfast and stood up. She grabbed her backpack and slung it over her shoulder then ran out, right after her brother had.
'There's a sacred Go-shinboku god tree that's 500 years old. And a covered well that probably has its own legend. In fact, everything at my house has a legend, but.........' Sango stopped her thoughts for a moment to yell out a, "SEE YA!", before returning. 'No matter how many times that Grandfather tells them to me...'
Sango thought about her Grandfather saying, "In the beginning, this..."
'I always forget!' Sango thought. 'I never even thought about trying to remember them.....until today.'
"Hey, Souta!" Sango called out as she saw her brother at the mini-shrine.
"Sis?!" Souta called.
"You're not supposed to play in the mini-shrine!" Sango scolded.
"But Buyo is down there!" Souta exclaimed.
"In the well-house?!" Sango asked.
Sango and Souta walked into the well-house and looked down the stairs.
"Buuuuuyo!" Souta yelled.
"He's somewhere down there!" Sango told Souta. "Go get him!"
"But.........doesn't this place kinda.........give you the creeps?" Souta asked fearfully.
"Are you scared, Souta? Fine, I'll go get him." Sango said.
A loud noise was heard. Souta jumped up and ran behind Sango.
Sango looked back at him.
"Th-there's something IN there!" Souta stuttered.
"Like, oh, say.........our CAT?!" Sango said sarcastically.
Sango rolled her eyes and walked down the stairs. She heard the noise again and looked at the well. "Huh? It's coming from INSIDE the well? You're kidding me."
Buyo rubbed up against Sango's leg.
"Kyaa!" Sango screamed, then realize it was just Buyo.
Souta was looking down, quite panicked. "DON'T YELL LIKE THAT! YOU SCARED ME!"
"You little........." Sango said.
The boards over the well started to crack.
"Sa..........Sango!" Souta said.
Sango had no time to say anything before the boards flew off the well and six arms grabbed her and pulled her down into the well.
Sango got a look at what grabbed her. It was a six-armed centipede-like lady. Her/It's lower body had no flesh, just bones. "No!" She exclaimed. "What is this?!"
"What joy! What strength I feel!" The centipede-lady exclaimed. Flesh started growing back on the bones. "My flesh returns to me!"
The centipede-lady licked Sango. "You have it, hai?"
"LET ME GO!" Sango yelled angrily and shoved her hand towards the centipede- lady's face. A light flashed from her hand and the lady released her. Sango fell, one of the lady's arms attached to hers.
"I will not lose it now! The Shikon no Tama!" The centipede-lady screamed.
"Shikon no Ta---" Sango had no time to finish before she hit the bottom of the well, sweating bullets. She looked up. "I'm in the well?" She asked.
'What was that thing? Just a dream?' Sango thought. Then she saw the centipede-lady's arm attached to hers and pulled off, throwing it. "Guess not."
Sango thought back to what the centipede-lady said. 'I won't lose it now, the Shikon no Tama.' "Shikon no Tama?" She said. "Now what did Grandfather say again?"
Sango looked up to the top of the well. "I've got to get out of here. SOUTA! YOU THERE?! GO GET GRANDFATHER, NOW!"
When Sango realized Souta was no longer there, she growled in anger and grabbed a vine that was growing down the well and started to climb up. "Chicken." She mumbled. "Run away, will he?"
Sango climbed out of the top of the well, and was quite surprised at what she saw. "Huh? A forest? Where am I? I was inside the mini-shrine! GRANDFATHER!!!! MOTHER!!!" She called out.
'There's no trace of the shrine.' Sango thought as she started to walk. Then she spotted the Go-shinboku god tree. "Oh!" She shouted and ran towards it.
What Sango saw when she got there, surprised her completely. The shrine, her home, was not there. Pinned to the tree with an arrow and a giant boomerang was a man with black hair tied back in a small ponytail. In one hand was an old staff, which probably would have been dropped if not for the boomerang. The other hand was wrapped up in a cloth with beads around it. Weird...
Sango ran over to the tree, and stepped on a vine/root that was also wrapped around the boy. "Excuse me! Are you okay? Hello?" She stared at him, and knocked on his forehead. "Are you alive?!"
"What do you there?!" A voice shouted. Arrows went flying around Sango.
"This land is forbidden!" Someone shouted.
"Be you a stranger?!" Another shouted.
Sango looked in the direction of the voices, quite surprised.
~*~
Sango's wrists and ankles are tied together and she is sitting on the ground in a village. Villagers are staring at her and whispering things when a loud shout of, "KAEDE-SAMA, THE PRIESTESS, IS COMING!!!" People cleared the way.
An old lady with a patch over her eye made her way to Sango. She was holding a bow (you know, the weapon, not a hair bow). "Who are you? Why were you in the forest of Miroku?"
"THE FOREST OF MIROKU?! THE FOREST ISN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!" Sango exclaimed in anger.
"Eh?" Kaede suddenly said and moved over to Sango. She grabbed Sango's chin and made her look up. "Let me see your face." After examining Sango, the old woman said, "So, trying to look like a clever one, are you?"
"Hmph!"
"You're her image, though. My elder sister, Yukiko." Kaede said.
"What?" Sango asked.
Someone untied Sango's ankles and Sango and Kaede walked into a hut. They sat down around a fire.
"Yukiko was the village exterminator. Youkai exterminator, to be exact. She was the villages protectress." Kaede said.
~*~ Quick Flashback ~*~
"Listen, well, Kaede." A girl that looked a lot like Sango, but in battle armor, said to a young child. Blood covered her. She was Yukiko. She showed the young Kaede the Shikon no Tama. "Take this and burn it with my remains.
***
Yukiko's body is now being cremated. The Shikon no Tama is in her hands, burning along with her.
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
"That was over 50 years ago." Kaede said. "She died when I was but a child." She spooned some food in a bowl and offered it to Sango. When Sango didn't take it, she asked, "What's wrong? Not hungry?"
"You think you can untie me first?!" Sango snapped, showing Kaede her still tied wrists.
"Oh." Kaede mumbled as she set down the bowl and untied Sango's wrists. She then gave Sango the bowl.
Sango quietly started to eat. "So...I don't suppose I'm in Tokyo anymore."
"I've never heard the name. Is that the land of your birth?" Kaede asked.
"I guess so! I was just thinking that I should get going soon." Sango said. 'But where, and how?' She thought.
A noise was heard, and Kaede and Sango ran out.
"What could be?" Kaede started before a horse with part of its side ripped off landed in front of them.
"Kyaa!" Sango screamed.
The centipede-lady was back, fully regenerated. She looked at Sango with a smirk on her face as she ate the part of the horse torn off.
"Run, a youkai!" The villagers screamed.
"That same thing!" Sango shrieked.
"Give me the Shikon no Tama!" The centipede-lady shrieked as she flew at Sango.
"You have the jewel?!" Kaede shouted.
"NO, I DON'T!" Sango yelled as she jumped out of the way.
Villagers threw things at the centipede-lady.
'That thing only wants me! Unless I lead it away, everyone's going to-' Sango's thoughts were cut short.
"Spears nor arrows stop it!" A village man yelled.
"If we can lure it to the dry old well, we might trap it!" Kaede said.
"Dry old well?!" Sango repeated. "Where is it?!"
"In Miroku's forest. East, toward-" Kaede was cut off.
"toward that light?! Okay!" Sango shouted as she ran off.
"YOU WILL NOT SLIP ME!!!" The centipede-lady called.
"THAT CHILD! DID SHE TRULY SAY SHE SAW THE EVIL AURA OF THE FOREST THAT NO EARTHLY BEING CAN SEE?!" Kaede shouted.
~*~ To Miroku ~*~
Miroku's eyes snapped open. "The presence..." He said in a dangerous tone. "The presence of her who killed me is coming closer!"
"SOMEONE RESCUE MEEEEE!!!" Sango screamed as she was running closer to the tree, the centipede-lady following her.
"GIVE ME THE SHIKON NO TAMA!" The centipede-lady shrieked.
"I DON'T HAVE SUCH A THING!" Sango shouted in anger. She then tripped over an up-rooted root. She sat up then fell back, her hands over her head protectively, as the centipede-lady flew over her head.
"Why toy with second-raters like Mistress Centipede?" Miroku asked in a cocky tone.
Sango sat up and looked at Miroku. "Huh? You're awake?"
