Chapter 1: Happy Birthday. HE'S MY WHAT?!
This story begins with a girl named Michiko Higurashi. Today she turned 15, it was great. Well except for the fact that everyone forgot except her mother Kagome. She came home late that afternoon and gave Michiko a box the size of her hand; it was tied with a blue ribbon and it had a note with her name scrawled across it. Kagome told her not to open it until she was sure she was ready. What ever that meant. But her mom was a smart person so Michiko took her advice and didn't open it until she had thought about what it might be her mother was trying to tell her.
Michiko went to her favourite spot in her yard. Well it wasn't really her yard. You see, Michiko and her family live in a shrine, they have for many generations. She's the 10th generation to live at this shrine (I just made that number up). Anyway her favourite spot is in the old building that house's the "Bone Eater's Well." It's called that because it's said that a creature lives in the well and eats all the flesh from off the bones of whatever's in the well.
She always comes to the well to think, it always makes her feel like she's in another world. I know it's kind of out there, but that's just the way she thinks. Michiko sat there thinking for quite a few hours. Her mom never gave her gifts in private if they didn't have a special purpose. So after thinking for about four hours Michiko finally decided to open the box.
Inside was a necklace with oddly shaped beads all surrounding a pink coloured jewel about an inch in diameter. Michiko brought it up in front of her face to get a better look. At first she just thought it was the light playing tricks with her vision, but she realized that the light around the jewel shifted from a pastel looking pink to a green then blue and back to pink, and then purple. She put the necklace around her neck then checked to see if there was anything else inside the box. But all there was was a piece of paper it had a bunch of writing on it written in her mother's hand.
Dear Michiko, How are you my girl? I hope you're having a good birthday. Now let me tell you a little something about your gift. I got this when I turned 15 as well, though I had to go through hell to get it. When I finally figured out what it was something happened and it shattered into hundreds of tiny shards. So I had to travel all across Japan to get the shards back. On my journey I met a lot of people and made quite a few friends, the main of them being my travelling companions. A monk named Miroku. (This is where her mom lost her. They don't have travelling monk's in Japan anymore.) A demon slayer named Sango, a shape shifting Kitsune named Shippo, and a demon dog boy named Inuyasha. (Demons!) I know this is all a little confusing Michiko but trust me in time you will come to understand. Now I bet you're wondering why I have given you this jewel. It is called the Shikon no Tama, or the Jewel of Four Souls. It should only be in the care of someone who is pure of heart. After having collected all the shards and reforming the jewel, I was told by High Priestess Kaeda to give it to someone who I felt was worthy enough to take over its guardianship. You know when I go away once a month for three or four day's and I leave you in the care of your uncle Sota. Well I've been travelling back and forth between this time and the time of Feudal Japan the past 10 years to find a suitable Guardian, and you're the one I found most suitable for the task. I know that this is a big responsibility and if you have any question you can always ask me.
Love Mom.
'Demon's, Monk's, Demon Slayer's. what's mom talking about?' Michiko thought to herself. 'Maybe she's been out in her garden to long again.' She stood up from her position on the stairs that led down to the well and was about to head back to the house when she heard an odd rumbling sound coming from somewhere in side the well house. Michiko turned around slowly and gazed into the darkness behind her. "H. hello?" She called out hesitantly. Thinking that maybe it was her 12-year-old cousin, Natsumae, trying to scare her like he usually does. "Nat is that you? If it is cut it out would ya. And besides you know that you're not supposed to go near the well." She shoved the letter into her pant's pocket and started to walk down the stairs towards the well. "Nat, come out of there right now!" She called out sternly after hearing that rumbling noise for the third time.
As Michiko got closer to ground level she realized that the sound was coming from beneath the cover that hid the inside of the well from view. "Natsumae?" She whispered, hoping that it was just her cousin, as her hand unconsciously reached up and gripped the jewel.
When she reached the edge of the well she leaned down and put her ear to the wood and listened to the rumbling. It sounded like the growling of a dog or a really big cat. She pulled back when the rumbling sounded right next to her ear.
Deciding that she didn't want to see what was on the other side of the board Michiko turned to run up the stairs when a large snarling white dog with three large scratches running down his face appeared at the top of them blocking her way. Not knowing what to do or where to run Michiko did the only thing she could think of at the time. She screamed.
The dog wolf thing snarled and leapt at her with claws extended and teeth ready to rip her throat out as soon as it got the chance. She ducked as the wolf flew towards her. It sailed over her head to come to a sliding stop on the other side of the well. Michiko scrambled to her feet and ran out of the building as fast as her legs could carry her.
The light from the moon beamed down on the Sunset Shrine grounds as Michiko burst from the Well House. She made it to the walkway that led from the temple to her house; she turned and ran straight towards the house. "Mom!!! Somebody, anybody help!!" She screamed as the wolf burst free of the well house, bringing the building crashing to the ground, and continued it's pursuit.
"You will die, demon spawn." It snarled as it tackled her to the ground only a few yards from the front door.
Kagome having heard her daughter's screams burst through the front door. She stared in slight astonishment at the wolf that was standing on top of Michiko pinning her to the walkway and open its jaws preparing to chomp down on the young girls neck. She quickly reached back inside the house and pulled out an ancient looking set of a bow and arrows. She grabbed an arrow from the quiver and put it to the bow. Aiming straight at the wolf she growled, "Get away from my daughter you beast!" With that she let the arrow fly.
Michiko looked at her mother in astonishment as she shot. She had never heard her sound so calm and angry at the same time. It was like this was nothing new to her. The arrow took the wolf in the right shoulder. It howled in pain and jumped back away from Michiko, trying to rip the arrow from its body. "Quickly Michiko, get away from it." Kagome called as she set another arrow to the bow.
She nodded and scrambled up from the ground and ran over to where her mother stood. "Mom, what is that thing?" She asked as she tried to catch her breath. "And why is it trying to kill me?" She could feel a draft as the wind filtered through the rips in her shirt from the wolf's claws. She also felt the wind as it tickled over the blood that was slowly seeping down her back, drying it to her skin.
"What!?" asked her mother glancing at Michiko out of the corner of her eye, not wanting to take her attention from the creature in front of her for too long.
"Well it said, " You will die demon spawn." What's it talking about?"
"I'm not sure. Hey you! Why are you trying to kill my daughter?" She called out to the demon angrily.
"I have been sent to kill the spawn of the half-demon Inuyasha, not that it's any of your business, human." It snarled, finally managing to dislodge the arrow from its shoulder with a sharp tug of his head.
'Half-demon? Spawn? This is way confusing.' She thought, staring at the wolf in confusion. "Mom what are we going to do. It's not going to go away until it's killed me." Michiko said shakily glancing from her mom to the demon and back again.
"We have to find away to either kill it, or send it back to it's own time." She said simply, loosing an arrow when the demon got to close for her liking.
"It's own time? What are you talking about?"
"The well," said Kagome after silently eyeing the demon. "You have to get to the well and open it. It's a-a gate, a portal, between our time and the Feudal age of Japan. Only you can open it." 'At the moment anyway.' She added silently.
"Why me?"
"Because you have the Jewel. It's the only way to open it. Remember what I told you when you where eight about your speed and strength?"
"Yes, you said not to use it where so many people could drop in unexpectedly." She said, referring to the shrine and all the visitors they got.
"Forget what I said. I want you to run as fast as you can to the well and open it. Then I want you to call someone through for me."
"Who, how?"
"His name is Inuyasha. All you have to do is call his name and will him through. You have to believe that it will work, or it won't. Do you understand, Michiko?"
"Y- yes."
"Good, no go! Run!!" She cried and shot three arrows in rapid succession at the demon forcing it back and away from the path that Michiko had to take.
Not wanting to waste the precious little amount of time her mom had bought her, Michiko leapt over the bushes that surrounded the porch and ran full tilt towards the well, easily dodging around the trees and shrubs that were placed all around the shrine grounds. When she reached the well she leapt over the debris of the building that once housed it and landed easily on the cover of the well.
Michiko pounded on the cover as hard as she could. "Inuyasha, Inuyasha!! Please help, somebody. Answer damn it!!" She cried in frustration and continued to pound on the well. ' This is so stupid, nobody's gonna come.'
She heard a crash and a scream as Kagome yelled at her. "Michiko, look out." She turned around to see the wolf running straight towards her. She hopped off the well just before the wolf crashed into it, completely obliterating the cover. She screamed and tried one last time to call for help. "INUYASHA!!!!" She landed on her back a good distance from the well; the wolf, after having it's legs caught up in all the bits of wood from the smashed well, regained its balance quickly and leapt at Michiko.
She closed her eyes and waited for the wolf's claws to dig into her flesh and complete it's task. But they never came. Instead she heard a grunt and a howl of pain. She opened her eyes to see the wolf soar a good distance away from her and to see a man about her mom's age, dressed in a strange looking red kimono, land beside her. He stood over Michiko protectively and glanced down at her. "Are you okay, kid?"
"I think so." She said quietly, gazing up at the man who stood before her. She was surprised to see that his hair was as white as her own, except that he had two wolf-like ears poking up from underneath his hair. And his nails were long, sharp, and deadly.
"Good, get up quick, you might have to run again." He said turning his attention back to the wolf that had finally managed to get to his feet.
"Well if it isn't the half brat, Inuyasha." Snarled the wolf mockingly as he glared at said person.
"In the flesh, fluffy. What's the deal attacking harmless human kids anyway, run out of mice to chase?" Inuyasha growled back in the same tone as the other demon, bringing his claws up into an attack position.
"She will die, Inuyasha."
"Over my dead body ya over grown throw rug." With that Inuyasha charged the wolf claws held at the ready. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"
His claws flashed and cut through the wolf's fur and flesh easily, cutting through it from head to foot. The wolf dropped onto its side leaking its blood everywhere. Inuyasha stood from his crouch and walked over to the wolf, he kicked it once to make sure it was dead. When it didn't twitch or snarl at him, he kicked it once more then walked away holding a sleeve of his Kimono over his nose, "Damn that guy reeks."
"What took you so long to get here, Inuyasha?" Kagome demanded as she came and knelt down beside Michiko.
"Someone didn't decide to start believing until she was almost made into puppy chow." He answered glancing down at the young white haired girl in exasperation.
"Well excuse me for not believing that some guy would come from Feudal Japan, through a frickin' well, to save us from a giant ball of fluff with teeth and claws the size of Tokyo Tower." She growled up at him, glaring at him with eyes that were just as golden as his.
Inuyasha just blinked down at her completely dumbfounded. Kagome started to chuckle quietly then burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"Mind if I ask, just what the heck is so funny, Kagome?"
"She sounds just like you did when we first met." She managed to get out before breaking down again. Inuyasha and Michiko looked at each other then looked away to opposite ends of the shrine. "Che, I/she do/does not." They said at the same time. This just sent Kagome into an even worse fit than what she had been having before.
"Mom, can you be a bit more serious, we do have a slight problem here." Michiko told her as she stood up still glaring slightly at Inuyasha.
"What problem? And who's we?" Inuyasha asked as he hopped up into a tree and sat there looking down at them.
"The fact that a huge wolf thing has just tried to kill me. wait, what do you mean, who's we?" She demanded, the rest of his question finally catching up with her.
"Well it seems to me, that the only one who's really got a problem here is you. The demon, tried to kill you. Not Kagome or me."
"It tried to kill me, because it had something to do with you!!" She growled pointing an accusatory finger in his direction, sounding more feral than she usually did.
"What do you mean to do with me?"
"Inuyasha don't you know who this is?" Kagome asked as she leaned against the tree he was perched in. He just looked at her with confusion written all over his face. "Take a good look." She told him, shaking her head at the half-demon.
He grumbled at the black haired women then turned his eyes on Michiko and studied her from head to foot; he even sniffed the air, which Michiko thought was kind of freaky. Then something seemed to click, and he hopped down from the tree and stood in front of the young girl. He crouched down so he was eye level with her. They both just kind of stared at each other; it was like looking into a mirror.
"Michiko?" He asked a little uncertainly, tilting his head to the side and narrowing his eyes in thought.
She took a step back away from him and looked over at her mother. "Mom who is this guy?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper.
"He's your father." She said simply.
That's when the world as Michiko knew it came crashing to a halt.
