Wind, Water, and Earth 2
A new legend begins

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha or anything about it. I do own a Kirara plushie and a little note writer thingy that has pictures of Inu Yasha on it but that's it. This story and the legend though are all mine so no touchy!

'' or Italics means thinking

Kagome walked through the halls heading towards her History class. It wasn't that she didn't like history; in fact she was doing the best in it considering that she was currently living in the time period that they just happened to be studying. She was just depressed because she had taken another killer math test and knew that she hadn't done as well as she had hoped. At least today in History they were going to learn about a new legend. This one was supposed to be one of the more popular ones that they had. She was curious about what it was going to be about yet slightly worried that it would end up being the legend of the Shikon no Tama. Coming to her classroom she pushed these thoughts out of her head as she walked into her classroom and fake smile plastered to her face. Her friends didn't notice that anything was wrong and just went back to gossiping about Ayumi and this boy that she obviously liked. Sitting down in her chair Kagome sighed slightly in relief that they weren't grilling her about her 'boyfriend'. The teacher came in a few minutes later and began class. They all opened her book and Kagome found herself sighing again when she realized that the legend they were reading wasn't about the Shikon no Tama at all. It was actually a pretty good story, about these three magical sisters and their forest. She understood now why it was so popular. The class went by in a whirl that was filled with questions and answers and the whole class just seemed to come alive with the story. Everyone loved it and it was all anyone could talk about as class ended that day and it was time to go home. Kagome was walking with her three friends and they were all talking about it. (This next bit is going to be a bit grammatically wrong but I'm lazy right now and writers block is starting to form at the edges of my mind so I'm getting this stuff out while I still can)

Eri "Wow wouldn't it be great to be one of those three?"

Ayumi "definitely the wind one. She sounded soo cool."

Eri "Well I would have to be the earth one! She sounded best to me. Even if she did kill everyone who went near the forest she was only doing it to protect her sisters."

Yuki (Sp?) "I have to choose the water one. She sounded so neat. Imagine having a body all water. Wouldn't that just be fun?"

Kagome's thoughts drifted away from the conversation as they all walked. She came to the crossroads where they all parted ways and smiled and waved going off towards her home still deep in thought. Those sisters sounded strong, if the story is about the feudal era then maybe they have some shards. It would explain how they got that strong. Maybe I'll ask Kaede about it when I get back. Kagome smiled to herself as she started up the steps leading to her family's shrine. This was the part of her walk home that she hated the most. Why did her family have to live at the top of a hill anyway? There weren't any hills this steep in the feudal era around the area of the well and the god tree so how did this gigantic thing show up? She thought this over as she finished climbing the steps and started across the yard to her house.

1 hour later.

Kagome was back in the feudal era and was about to ask the question to Kaede when she had found out that Shippo had gorged himself on all the candy she brought back and was sick. They had decided to stay the night so Shippo could get better and so there she was sitting beside a very green little fox that was moaning uncontrollably.

"Kaede have you ever heard the legend of the Wind, Water, and Earth?" Kagome was going to add more onto her question when she noticed that she was getting the oddest looks from everyone in the room. Even Kirara was giving her a funny look! Oooook this is kinda creepy. They're all staring at me like I just grew a second head!

"Why do ye ask child?" Kaede asked while still giving her that funny look. At least she was talking to her instead of what the others were doing.

"Well you see we read about the legend today in school and I was wondering if any of you thought that maybe those elemental sisters might have shards of the jewel and if maybe that gave them all their strength?" Kagome was warming up to the subject and was glad to see that the funny looks they were giving her were replaced by thoughtfulness on each and everyone. " Maybe we should check this out? Where is the forest?" Kagome asked this to Kaede who seemed to have started nodding off.

"The forest yee be seeking is to the east of here child. It is a three-day journey for normal travelers, but for those such as you it will surely be a much quicker journey. Yee should leave in the morning when the kit has revived." Kaede said this as if she were merely talking about the weather, which bugged Kagome a bit, but she shrugged it off and smiled.

"Alright so we leave in the morning then!" Kagome shouted standing up and holding her fist in the air with little flames behind her. This caused the group around her to back up a bit giving her those looks again. Oh well you can't have everything in life.

Authors note

Ok I know this is short. And that it has taken forever to be posted but I have had some serious writers block and a nasty little virus on my computer. I was going to make it longer but that was just a perfect ending for me. Oh and incase you can't tell that whole chapter was pretty much Kagome's point of view.
