Inuyasha stared at Ayami who was amazed to see Inuyasha. She just couldn't take her eyes off his dog ears and he couldn't take his eyes off her resemblance to Kagome. Ayami blinked then turned her face away from his stare.
"Kagome after all these years you finally come back", said Inuyasha walking over to Ayami till they were face to face.
"WHO!?!?", yelled a confused Ayami.
"Huh?", said Inuyasha stepping back a little.
"My name isn't Kagome!!!", yelled Ayami her eyes flaring.
"Of course your name is Kagome", argued Inuyasha.
"Look point out a difference between me and her", said Ayami pulling a piece of her short hair up for Inuyasha to see.
"I know Kagome you cut your hair no big difference", said Inuyasha.
"UHHHHH!!!!!! DON'T YOU GET STUPID!!!! I'M NOT HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Ayami furiously.
"You have to be her cause ya smell just like..........", Inuyasha paused and took a sniff about Ayami.
"You're not her", said Inuyasha staring at her.
"Told you so", said Ayami.
"This is just like what happened when I first met Kagome", said Inuyasha in a trembling voice.
"You're her reincarnation", said Inuyasha slowly.
"What?". said Ayami looking at Inuyasha who stared a hard stare at her.
Inuyasha turned and said, " Come with me." Ayami looked a little unsure but followed anyway. They walked into a village and Inuyasha let her to a old house. Once inside Miroku and Sango and teenage Shippo looked in disbelief. They turned to Inuyasha who gave them a long hard stare.
"Inuyasha is it?", asked Sango desperation in her eyes.
"No", said Inuyasha turning away from Ayami's side.
"Her reincarnation", said Miroku.
"That means Kagome is...", said Shippo.
"Dead", finished Inuyasha.
Ayami stared at the now gloomy crowd, she wondered if her coming here had brought them pain.
"I'm sorry for being the barrier of bad news", said Ayami looking to the ground of ashamed of herself though she did not know why.
"You should be sorry", said Inuyasha pushing past her and out the door.
"I'm sorry for Inuyasha's behavior", said Sango.
"He is kind of upset", said Shippo.
"About this Kagome's death?", asked Ayami.
"Yes, you see they were very close", said Miroku looking over at Ayami.
"Let us introduce ourselves", said Shippo with a bright smile.
"My name is Shippo", said the happy go lucky kitsune.
"Yes, and my name is Miroku and this is my wife Sango", said Miroku placing a hand on Sango shoulder.
"My name is Ayami Hitomi", said Ayami looking over at the group.
"Reincarnation of Kagome", muttered Inuyasha as he sat on a tree overlooking the crops of the village. He felt all his emotions jumbling all around in his head. He was happy to see Kagome's reincarnation but mad because she died.
"Kagome", whispered Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha?", said a voice from below.
"WHAT?", growled Inuyasha looking below to the voice he hated but loved.
"I guess I wanted to say I'm sorry", said Ayami.
"You already said you were sorry", said Inuyasha jumping down to face her.
"I know, but I wanted to make a sincere apology to you", said Ayami looking up into Inuyasha's bright amber eyes.
"Feh", said Inuyasha turning his face from hers.
Ayami grumbled then turned and left toward the old hut. Inuyasha's eyes followed after her, he saw she was dressed in a school uniform like Kagome, he smiled.
Later that night Ayami awoke from her sleep, she wondered on how to get back to her own time.
"Mom, Magami", thought Ayami before turning around to see Inuyasha sitting beside her. He was sitting there like he was protecting her though he was asleep on the job, she thought that was nice of him. She stared at every feature of his face; every curve she memorized. She looked toward the ceiling and started thinking about a way to get home.
"What am I going to do?", asked Ayami to herself.
"Wait that well", thought Ayami looking over towards the door.
"If I could get there", said Ayami glancing over at Inuyasha and the rest of the group fast asleep.
"I have to try", thought Ayami as she slowly made her way towards the forest.
Ayami followed the path that Inuyasha had taken her through and soon came upon the mysterious well. She looked behind her and sighed, she hoped they would understand. She stood at the base of the well and then stepped back, she looked to the side of the well to see a little weasel staring at her.
"Scat!!", said Ayami making shooing motions with her hands. The little creature growled and lunged turning into a huge demon weasel.
"WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Ayami jumping out of the demon weasel's claws. It hissed out five words.
"Give my the jewel shards!!!."
Ayami looked at the rabid looking monster in puzzlement. What was he talking about? She stood up and planned to run for the village. The creature pursued, she finally reached the village bridge and was half way in the middle.
"HERE I AM IN FEUDAL JAPAN WITH SOME NINE FOOT ANIMAL THING TRYING TO KILL ME!!!", thought Ayami loudly.
"It's mine!!!", growled the demon swiping Ayami across her left side. Ayami flew forward to see Inuyasha and the rest of the gang looking at her. She turned to see blood spilling from her side then a shining half of something fly out of her.
"That came out of me", said Ayami before falling in the shallow water below, the jewel landing in front of her.
"Ayami get the jewel half and run for it!!!!", yelled Miroku.
Ayami listened and grabbed the jewel and ran for her dear life. Inuyasha grabbed Tetsusaiga and struck down the demon. Ayami stopped and turned around to see the demon's body in pieces and Inuyasha staring at her.
"That jewel half was in you", said Sango walking over to Ayami.
"Yes", said Ayami breathlessly.
"Then you are Kagome reincarnated", said Shippo looking over at Ayami's wound.
"It's not to bad really", said Ayami stepping back from the two, though her side was in agony.
"Quit acting like a baby and let them take a look at it", said Inuyasha walking over.
"But.... I", stuttered Ayami. Later that night her wounds were cleaned and they all went to sleep.
By morning Ayami had awaken and walked outside to see Inuyasha coming towards her.
"Morning Inuyasha", said Ayami fixing the necklace Sango had given her to hold the jewel half on.
"Why were you outside last night?", asked Inuyasha.
"That's none of your business", said Ayami pushing Inuyasha out of the way.
"It is so my business", growled Inuyasha.
"Fine you wanna know?", asked Ayami.
"Damn straight I wanna know!!", yelled Inuyasha.
"I WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!", yelled Ayami stomping off while Inuyasha sat on the ground in shock.
"Man, she is scary when she's mad", said Miroku who had overheard the conversation between Inuyasha and Ayami.
"I'm not scared", whispered Inuyasha his eyes unblinking and small.
"He is so darn annoying", said Ayami sitting at a base of a tree.
"Well I know a word Inuyasha falls for", said Shippo with a huge smirk.
"Really, tell me", said Ayami with a curious smile.
"Did she really wanna leave cause of me?", asked Inuyasha to himself.
"Inuyasha", said Ayami who was standing behind him.
"What?", grumbled Inuyasha.
"I've got a word for you", said Ayami putting her hands behind her back and bending forward a little.
"What?", growled Inuyasha.
"SIT BOY!!!!!!!!", yelled Ayami.
*SMACK
Inuyasha screamed and stayed on the ground flat as a pancake. Ayami's eyes went wide and she raced over to his side.
"Inuyasha I had no idea that would happen", said Ayami helping Inuyasha up.
"Who told you to say that?", asked Inuyasha while dirt and debris fell from his face.
"Uh, well Shippo did", said Ayami.
Inuyasha's eyes flared, "SHIPPO YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!."
Ayami looked over in confusion as Inuyasha chased after Shippo who ran away screaming loudly.
"Now's my chance", said Ayami running towards the forest only to be stopped by Sango.
"Aww, Ayami I've been looking for you", said Sango with a smile.
"Why?", asked Ayami turning to face her.
"Well I wish to tell you the jewels history", said Sango.
"Oh well then tell me", said Ayami.
Sango explained to Ayami the whole history of the jewel and how Kagome was Kikyo's reincarnation and how Ayami was Kagome's reincarnation.
"That's so sad", said Ayami.
"Well it seems everyone that gets in the jewel's way is ensnared in its evil bindings", said Sango turning back towards the old hut. Ayami looked over at Sango then at the jewel half she possessed. She clenched it in her fist tightly then turned towards the forest.
Ayami made her way to the well and stood in front of it for a while.
"This all seems so bizarre", said Ayami looking down the well.
Behind a tree stood the incarnation of Naraku, Kagura.
"This must be the reincarnation of the wench Kagome", hissed Kagura.
"Huh? Who's there?", asked Ayami.
Kagura walked out from behind the tree and smirked.
"Who are you?", asked Ayami.
"The name's Kagura", said Kagura lifting her fan to cover half of her face.
"What do you want?", demanded Ayami tucking the jewel half into her shirt.
Kagura noticed this and said, "Exactly."
Kagura threw her wind blades at Ayami.
"AHHHH", yelled Ayami falling backwards into the well.
Kagura hurried over and looked in the dark well.
"She is gone", growled Kagura.
She then threw down her feather and left the scene.
Ayami opened her eyes and looked up to the well houses roof.
"Huh?", said Ayami.
"I saw her fall down here mom!!", yelled Magami.
"Nonsense", said Ms. Hitomi flashing a flashlight down the well upon Ayami.
"MOM, MAGAMI!!!", cried Ayami.
After getting out of the well Ayami stood before the sacred tree.
"Was I really there?", asked Ayami to herself.
Ayami turned and hugged her mother tightly, happy to be home.
"Ayami where are you!!!", called Inuyasha as he looked up and about the forest, following her scent.
Her followed it to the well.
"Don't you dare try to leave me you stupid girl!!!!", growled Inuyasha as he jumped into the well.
