Chapter 1
There was a legend that, at one point was very well known and told through out the land of Japan. This
story was of a human girl and a dog demon. Eventually the legend was written down and stored away so that it
would always be remembered, but over time any stories that told of the existence demons were frowned upon
and forgotten. Because in this day in age humans ruled, unlike in the past……
Higurashi Kagome, a 17 year-old high school girl, lived in the modern world. She led a comfortable life
with her Mother, her brother Souta, and her grandfather in their family shrine. She spent most of her time
keeping her grades up in school and hanging around with her friends. She had long black hair, brown eyes and
a kind and caring personality; she also had a temper and could sometimes be stubborn. One can be sure that
she would never expect the events that would occur in her life…
She was arriving home from school and happened to catch a blur of white heading into the shrine's Well
House. At first she tried to figure out what it was, but then she heard a meow come from the mini-shrine and
realized that it was her cat. She entered the shrine and began to look for the cat.
"Buyo!! Where did you go?! I'm not supposed to be in here, you better not get me in trouble!"
Kagome called, as if the cat could talk back.
She had just decided to give up and was about to head up the stairs when suddenly the lid that had been
on the old well flew off. Kagome turned around, startled and walked to the edge of the well and looked down.
Suddenly she felt as if an invisible force was pulling her down and she was pulled in to the well. Expecting the
trip to be short and a hard landing, that's not what she got. Suddenly she was surrounded by glowing blue light.
All Kagome could do was wonder what was going to happen next.
When Kagome finally reached the bottom she instinctively looked up, expecting to see the ceiling of the
mini-shrine, but instead she saw the night sky with its shining stars.
Kagome managed to climb up the well, thanks to the vines that had grown over the lip of the well and
down it. Once out of the well Kagome really had no idea what to do, all around the well was surrounded by
forest, so she decided to stay at the well till morning, and then make further action. Better that, then to get lost.
Somewhere in the forest-
Sango, a demon exterminator for a nearby village, was looking for a wolf demon that usually caused
trouble for the poor, small village. This time they managed to corner him, but at the last possible second he had
found a way to slip past them and into the forest.
That had be around sunset, it was now close to the middle of the night, according to the position of the moon. It was getting to the point that Sango was beginning to decide to give up on the search and just wait until he came back. Now all that was left was to find her partner, Miroku. Miroku was a Buddhist Monk who was quite perverted, but no less useful and reliable in battle. Suddenly out of nowhere she felt a tap on the shoulder, she jumped and turned around, and it was Miroku. She had been so deep in thought that she had not heard him coming. "Where have you been?!? I've been looking all over for you!" She gave him one of her annoyed looks. He held up his hands in a sign of peace and replied "Sorry, Sango. But I've found something quite interesting." He then started walking in the direction of the old well.So people…what do you think? This is my first fan fiction and I'd like to know what people think of it. So review for me, please? I won't update another chapter till I get a review of some kind.
