First and foremost, hello! My name's Katherine and this is my own twisted version of the great anime Inuyasha. *drools like the mindless fan girl she is* This is my idea, my first story here, and I hope you will enjoy it. And to those who will most likely flame me, a lot, get over it. It's just my story using characters of which I do not own like:

Inuyasha - 'Get this freak off my leg!!!' Kagome- 'Hey! Inuyasha's mine!' Kikyo- *evil glare of hatred* Kaede- 'I like not the looks of this..' Shessorumu- 'Damned human....' Shippo- *being squeezed to death for being so darn cute* And the rest of the illustrious cast who I wouldn't be capable of this without their inspiration.

I do however own: Katherine- yes yes... I know. I named her after myself. . Tomo Suyria Sen Anzai Ebizo Chuichi Ayano Kaori

I do not own Inuyasha, no matter how hard I ask. With that settled, on with the mayhem!

Another Life, another Time

Chapter One: When a DIFFERENT girl fell down the well.

"DIE INUYASHA!"

"K.Kikyo!?"

She could only watch as the boy was hit with the arrows, pinning him to a tree, as the mizo slowly walked away. Katie didn't want to follow her, she knew what would happen, it had been happening since she could remember, but she was drawn to follow the mizo called Kikyo, away from the dying boy, and towards the priestess's own grave. She tried to fight the shadow hands as they held her back, she struggled as much as she could, and she had to save him.. She just had too!

"GAH!!" she sat up from the futon, sweat beading her forehead, breathing harshly. Wiping her forehead, she leaned back on one arm, wondering what she was doing, why did she come to Japan? She didn't speak a word of Japanese and knew practically no one besides Kagome, and only her because she was part of her exchange family.

"Katherine-sama? Are you alright, I. I heard you scream." Kagome slid the door open, her eyes wide with fright.

"No... I'm alright, Kagome. Just a silly dream. Just don't call me Katherine, ok?" Katie smiled warmly as Kagome backed out of her room, and went back to her own. Falling back on her bed, she counted the ceiling bumps over and over, trying to get back to sleep. But then. the nightmare would probably return to torment her again. Standing up, she stood in front of her mirror, trying to figure out what was wrong with her, what was causing these dreams and why. She wasn't short, but neither was she tall, her light auburn hair, almost blond, fell to her shoulders, all cut at one length. She hated to admit it, but she had a great body. Well, except for the wings.. Turning her back to the mirror, she looked over her shoulder, and sighed, wondering once more why she had to have such a weird birthmark. On each shoulder blade were markings of wings, delicately sketched into her skin like a piece of parchment. Bright gold-green eyes studied themselves in the mirror, not almond shaped like Kagome's, just. large and expressive.

"Feh..." she grumbled, pulling on jeans and a jacket "I need to go for a walk" She snuck out of the house and made her way towards the little shrine Kagome's grandfather was always warning them about. She couldn't figure out why he didn't like it, the small building was lovely, surrounded by the tree's and during festivals when lit up by the candles it was down right magical. She slid the paper spell from the door, and snuck in, sliding the door shut behind her.

It was small, but then the shrine was centered on a well after all! Walking over, she peered over the edge, and stared into the darkness, listening for something.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" Kagome's grandfather ran through the door, making Katie jump and hurtle into the well.

"KATHERINE-SAMA!!!!!" was the last thing she heard as the blackness enveloped her. "Is it alive, Suriya?"

"Sssh! What if it's another demon?! Just be quiet."

"She's pretty. She has nice hair, maybe Kaede."

"YEAH! Tomo, Lady Kaede would know if it's a demon!"

Groggily, Katie opened one eye, the sunlight hurting her eyes slightly, her entire body aching, her brain feeling like someone had performed ~Riverdance~ on it. Groaning, she sat up, shading her face with one hand as three little kids shrieked, running into the bushes once they noticed her. Standing up on rather shaky legs, she smiled at them. "Well, hello there! Aren't you supposed to be in school?" She frowned, looking around her, noticing the landscape was completely different, almost like the nigh.

"Tomo! Suriya! Sen! Tis unsafe to be wondering the woods at this hour.." A rather disgruntled looking older woman appeared in the clearing, one eye covered with a patch, dressed in a red and white kimono, her graying hair tied back. She stopped, seeing Katie, whipping a bow from behind her back, aiming it at her. "Whoa! Look, stop with the sharp objects! I'm lost!" Katie waved her hands in front of her frantically, "I fell down that well, and ended up here, wherever here is!" She tried to bow respectfully, like she saw Kagome do a lot, but it was hard with an arrow aimed at you heart.
