Chapter 4: Down the Well We Go
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, DAMNIT! oh wait... 'cept Arianna. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING 'CEPT ARIANNA, DAMNIT!
~~~~the next morning (early)~~~~
Arianna got out of bed slowly. She didn't want to make any noise, so the rest of her host family could sleep in. She wrote a note about seeing a friend who lives in Tokyo, which was true..... in a way. She left it for Kagome in her room, where she found a note saying the same thing addressed to her. 'Heh. Guess we both had the same idea. But she'll never know...' Arianna crept back down the stairs, went out of the house, and started to walk in a familiar direction.
Kagome stopped her alarm clock before it could wake up anyone else. 'I really should go explain why I left yesterday to everyone before I go to school today. They'll be wondering...' She left a logical note to explain to Arianna her absence if she were to wake before Kagome got back (I.E. she lied), and slowly walked out of the house in her PJ's, bathrobe, and slippers. She swore she could have heard someone else up, but it was probably just Buyo. She walked towards the old shrine with the well, taking in the quietness of the morning. 'Good thing Inuyasha didn't come for me yesterday. What would Arianna think about him?' Kagome walked into the shrine and saw a figure right by the well. At first, she thought it was a demon, but the baseball cap told different.
Arianna walked towards the old shrine. 'I'll be there soon, just keep your pants on!' She walked into the shrine, and swung one leg over the side of the well. Just as she was about to hop in, the door opened again, and Kagome stood in the doorway.
"ARIANNA!?"
"Oh, CRAP!" Arianna jumped into the well.
She found herself in the forest. She had to get away. Just away before Kagome saw her. Did Kagome know about the well too? 'But she's not like me... so how could she go through?' Arianna ran into the forest the fast she could. She got pretty far away, but she could still hear Kagome shouting "Come back!" and running as fast as she could to catch up with Arianna.
Arianna looked back as she lept up into the trees and began to jump from one to another. She looked back, straining to hear if Kagome was still pathetically attempting to catch up with her. "Heh heh. Fat chance in hell that's gonna-" Arianna had not been watching the road- er... path in front of her, and had run right into someone sitting in the tree.
It was a boy, about her age, sitting in the tree. He had long silver hair, golden eyes, and little doggy ears on his head. He was wearing a red kimono-type thing and some sort of prayer beads around his neck. There was also a long oval-like mud print on his face, which probably wasn't there before she stepped on him.
"Watch where you're going girl!" The boy wiped away the mud from his eyes, and he looked up at her strangely.
Arianna was too busy to notice. She was waving her arms wildly, trying not to lose her balance, and fall out of the big tree that was about two stories high. She fell backwards, but hooked her knees to the branch. Her hat fluttered down to the ground, as did almost everything in the pockets of her denim jacket fluttered out and fell to the ground below, including her hat. With a few flips here and there, she was sitting on the same branch of tree as the boy, She smiled, stuck out her hand and said "The name's Arianna. Nice to meetcha!"
But instead of taking it, he sniffed it. He looked up at her. "Why do you smell like my father?"

hey wow, a cliffie! I DON'T SUCK! ^_^
i also hope that i get more reviews. this is how it works:
reviews=motivation=more chapters=more reviews
and it all goes round and round like the wheels on the bus. THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND, ROUND AND ROUND, ROUND AND ROUND! THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND, ALL THROUGH THE TOWN!
anyway, since i've gotten a grand total of ONE REVIEW (and it was from my friend, who I badgered to review anyway, so it doesn't count) i thought maybe i should give the wheel a little heave-ho and update. maybe THEN you ungrateful censored will review!
i've always envied those authors/authoresses who always get like 300 reviews, and they get their first 100 on chapter 3. i mean, i don't have 100 reviews from ALL OF MY FICS COMBINED! ;__; i feel sad now.... REVIEW TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!
