Disclaimer: The day I own Inuyasha I will shout it from a rooftop (hopefully no one will call the cops) and make it available for people who have cable, satellite, and even the people who just have local channels. But that'll never happen.
A/N: I'm sorry that last chapter was short but it was just a prologue. This chapter might be short, but I promise the next chapter will be at least 4-6 pages. The dictionary is at the bottom, beneath the author's note.
Summary: (See the prologue)
Previously on 'Uncanny Serendipity':
A boy climbed out of the well and headed towards the surprised taijiya. He kept looking back towards the well as if someone were following him. He extended a hand towards the surprised taijiya. She looked at him her face showing her confusion.
"Sango, please, I need your help, there's not much time," the boy pleaded in a shaky voice looking back towards the well.
Chapter 1
Sango just stared at him and cocked her head to the left.
"Sango please," the boy begged.
"Help you with what? Who are you and how do you know my name? How do I know that your not one of Naraku's minions? How did you get through the well? Where is it?" she asked defensively.
*Sigh* "One question at a time. I don't have time for 20 questions. But, since it seems you won't come with me until I answer at least a few of them, here goes. I am not one a Naraku's minions. I need your help with something that I will explain once we get there." he started.
"So, your not one of Naraku's minions, but you want me to come with you someplace and you wont explain to we get there. So, I'm supposed to come with you why?" Sango asked getting up slowly to have easy access to her weapon, Hiraikotsu. She didn't need any demon or monk to protect her and she wasn't stupid. If someone just came and asked for her help they'd have to do some explaining first before she went anywhere with them.
"My name is… I can't tell you that right now. I know your name because Miroku told me," he answered hurriedly.
"How do you know houshi-sama?" Sango asked curious, but still on her guard.
"Long story, I got through the well," he started looking back at the object in question. "Without any Shikon no Kakera's. Well you see… Shikon shards aren't the only thing that you can use to get through the well. I used a Shikon no chi (I don't think I translated that right but whatever,) to come back to this time.
"Sango-san?" a voice called from in the trees.
Houshi-sama? Sango thought, good, he'll help me sort this out.
"We have to hurry Sango, before Miroku get here. I'm altering history enough by being here," the boy pleaded looking from Sango to the trees then back to the well.
"What did you say?" she asked. Altering history? Wait wasn't that in one of Kagome's books? A boy came to the past to help fix the future… "So your from Kagome's time?"
"No, not exactly. I'm from your future, but Kagome's past," the boy said in a rush. They could hear Miroku getting closer.
Sango scrunched up her eyebrows in frustration. I thought the well only went two ways?
Miroku was almost at the well.
"Sango, we're almost out of time, if your gonna come with me then we have to leave now." he spoke hastily.
Sango looked towards her weapon, then towards the direction Miroku was coming from and then lastly toward the bizarre boy and the well.
"How do I get back, if I wanna get back on my own?" she asked. The boy smiled a small grin of contentment; she was coming with him.
"You just jump in, as long as someone has come to your time with a Shikon no chi you don't need anything to come back." the boy lied looking nervously to the part of the trees where Miroku would come out of any minute.
Sango thought about it for a moment then decided. "All right, I'll come with you." Taking his hand they jumped into the well only seconds before the said monk made his way out of the trees.
"Sango? Sango-san?" Miroku cried worriedly looking around. He ran towards the well after seeing the familiar blue light erupted from the well. Kagome-chan must have come back either upset or Sango-san was upset and they went back to her time, he mentally reasoned. I must tell Inuyasha; he's been waiting for her to come back for a while. Heh, Sango might be taking a bath. Miroku stopped for a while while his imagination took over. Quickly shaking his head free of its voluptuous thoughts he continued running to go find Inuyasha. Kagome should have been back a while ago, or at least said something. Those two didn't have a chance, he had finally gotten Inuyasha to give in and decide to tell Kagome his feelings and she just bails before he can even tell her? Inuyasha isn't gonna be too happy about this. Poor Shippo, he might just get turned into Inuyasha's…what did Kagome call it… Umm… punching bag, yeah that's it.
A/N: Yes, Miroku is close to Sango, but he respects her also, hence the 'san'. Hehe, I see fun times in the mix also. There will be some pairings, but I'm not gonna ruin the surprise by telling you. If you didn't understand some words I put a handy little dictionary at the bottom. *^^* After you read the dictionary, press the purple button besides the 'submit review' sign thingy at the bottom and in less then a week, I'll post chapter 2.
