Chapter 3: Arrival In The Feudal Era


The falling stopped. There was no drifting. The walls of the well surrounded me. I touched the gray stone wall just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. There was no musty smell or shrine roof when I looked up. Instead, the air smelled fresh and a square of blue sky was at the top of the well's mouth. I searched around the well nervously, wondering if I was not alone. There was evidence of another person by the looks of the footprints. The sounds of people speaking reached my ears.
"Hello? Who's up there?", I called. The sounds paused.
A clawed hand reached over the well's lip and I let out a shriek that would make a deaf man wince.
"FUCK!!! WHO IS THAT?!", a pissed off man said.
A familiar face then peered down at me. It was Kagome.
"Hachi...?", she gasped with wide eyes. I gulped.
"Um...H-hey Kagome...", I squeaked.
She reached her hand down and helped me out of the dirty well. I was not prepared to see what was before me. I opened my mouth to scream, but no noise came.
Before my eyes, was a man with golden eyes and dog ears! Next to him was a monk and a female warrior. There was also what appeared to be a fox child upon Kagome's shoulders. 'Am I going insane?'
"What...is...this", I breathed shakily.
"Calm down, Hachi, we won't harm you...", Kagome spoke.
"What is this, Kagome?!", I screamed.
"Relax, girl, you've merely gone back in time", the dog man scoffed.
"But...how...", I murmured.
Inuyasha growled impatiently and cracked his knuckles.
"Inuyasha...behave", Kagome warned.
"Where am I? Who are you really, Kagome?", I asked.
"Let me explain...", she sighed. The whole group groaned. It was going to be a long seven days.
