A/N: Hi peoples!! I read all your reviews and am sooooo happy. They warmed my heart like hot cocoa on a cold winter night. I was waiting for someone to notice I put song titles and lyrics as chapter titles! A.F.I. rocks my socks! I really wish I could have gotten this out much sooner (it's been 2 months!) but you have no idea how lazy I've been. Oh, to answer one of your questions, yes I have decided who I am pairing Ami with and I'm pretty sure you'll like who it is! (Sorry if any of the characters seem OOC sometimes. I'm like the worst person to keep characters in character. So sorry!)

Disclaimer: Do not own InuYasha nor Sailor Moon so quit bugging me.

Chapter Four: Cladenstine

The eight-year old girl stared nervously at the playground surrounding of her. Today was her first day at Shikon grade school. Her momma had gotten a job at a hospital in the area two weeks ago and they just moved in a cozy (though very expensive) little apartment a few blocks down from the school.

The girl glanced around at the other children laughing and playing with their friends. Right now it was recess and everybody had someone to play with except her. That was what she was afraid of when she found out she was moving to a new neighborhood and school. She had had friends at her old school, however, she was a little too shy to go up and ask to play with somebody. So she just sat there on the small wooden swing, watching her schoolmates have fun with each other.

Pumping her legs a bit she stared at the brown malch with little interest. Then a shadow suddenly covered her and the word 'Hey,' was said.

She brought her head up, seeing two tall boys leering down at her.

"Quit hoggin' the swings." One said with his arms crossed .

"Yeah, you're not the only one who wants to swing." The other agreed; giving her the most dirty look she had ever seen.

She muttered a 'sorry', and got off the swing, but as she picked up her lunch box from beside the swing, one of the boys snatched it from her grasp.

"W-Wait! That's mine!" She tried to grab it from the boy and failed. He held it high above her head.

"Aren't ya that new girl who knew all the answers in math?" He snickered when she made another grab for her lunch box. "I don't like know- it-alls." He tossed it to the other boy who caught it and held it too high for her to reach.

"Stop it!" The two boys turned to see another girl with long black hair frowning at them. The girl stomped over to the boys and snatched the lunch box from their hands while they were caught off guard.

She waved her index finger at them, "Shame on you! Being mean to a girl who jus' got here and whose a zillion times smarter than you. If you don't leave her alone my mom will call your moms."

"We were only kiddin', jeez!" The girl stuck her tongue out at them while they stalked off. She turned to the new girl, handing her lunch box back to her.

"Here. Sorry they were picking on you They are just stupid boys." She smiled at the girl. "I'm Kagome, what's your name?"

The girl felt relieved that the boys were gone, smiling back she started, "I am Am-" The rest of the sentence didn't come out causing the girl's hands to touch her throat. Everything went black just as soon as the words escaped her lips. The school was nowhere in sight. There was suddenly a feirce wind that blew the girl to the black concrete floor. She wimpered from falling to the ground so hard. She started to pull herself up when something came into her line of vision.

It was dark and before the girl could tell what the something was, she felt a stab of pain go through her stomach. She cried out, but no sound came. Looking at her stomach she saw dark red blood seeping through her school uniform. The pain was unbearable. She sank to her knees and fell to the ground.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

I took in sharp intake of breath, my eyes snapping open wide. My heart thudded heavily in my chest as I sat up, my hands flying to my stomach. I let out a sigh of relief when I found no wound. It was just a dream. I fell back to the ground still half asleep and closed my eyes but immediately opened them again when I felt damp soil underneath me. I was fully awake now.

What the -? Sitting up, I glanced around. I couldn't recognize my surroundings at all; nothing looked the least bit familiar. Where was I? I couldn't seem to remember how I had gotten here, wherever I was. Lets see . . . I remember getting on the bus to Kagome's shrine . . . and her grandfather saying she was ill . . .

A sudden rush of recollection passed through me. I had fallen into the well. It was when I was checking out the well shrine for the first time. I had spotted the wooden well and decided to take a look inside . . . but I tripped.

I was in the well. I started to panic. How was I supposed to get out? It was pitch black so I couldn't see very well. Standing up, I groped the walls for any possible thing I could use to get there.

My hand swept over some vines - I assumed - growing from the walls. I ran my hand over them then pulled on them to see how strong they were. Still attached to the wall. Good. Stable enough for my weight. Gripping onto the assumingly vines, I slowly made my way up. I could see the stars blazing above me. Just a little bit further.

Panting, I landed over the edge of the well and onto the soft grass on the side. I leaned on the side of the well to catch my breath. I had no idea the well was that big. I blinked when something processed in my mind. Huh? Grass? Speaking of which, where was the well shrine? I must have still been a bit drowsy to not have noticed from the start. The shrine was gone, too. All that was around me was a vast array of trees.

Eh? This was not Kagome's shrine. But how? Maybe this was another world that the well had taken me to. That's possible I suppose. Just to make sure, I reached for my mini-computer but only touched air. Suddenly realizing my knapsack must have slipped off my shoulder when I fell, I slumped down lower against the well.

I put a hand to my forehead and sighed. What I am I going to do now? I have no clue where I was right now. Well, I should probably try to find my way out of this forest, I thought taking my hand off my forehead, then I could see if I find anyone that could help me. It was worth a shot; better than sitting here all night.

Standing up and dusting myself off, I walked further into the forest, going on pure instinct of direction. It was clear that it was very easy to get lost which was something I really didn't need.

I stepped over a moss-covered log that was in my path and pushed past some low hanging branches when I saw something that took my breath away. There, only about ten meters away, was the goshinboku. I was starting to get confused - which was pretty rare these days - and I stared dumbfounded at the god tree. I, at first, thought that the well took me to a different world but now it seems that this was a different time. Kind of makes sense since the god tree and the well were here and all.

I walked over to the tree, running my hand over the rough bark and closed my eyes.. Memories flooded through me of days reading and playing right under this tree. I smiled a little.

Everything happened so fast. First, I noticed the growling coming behind me. Then the clawing at my clothes and the searing godawful pain in my lower back; burning in my throat and the cold piercings in my heart. Then the darkness.

A/N: Cliffhanger!!! I know this chapter is super short. Gomen, Gomen. I had this halfway finished for a long time but I didn't know how to continue. You guys were probably hoping Ami would get to meet InuYasha and co. but that's next chapter. I swear it will be longer and better! And I am really sorry but I have to put this story on hold for a little while because I need to think about it first and my sister is going to have a baby soon and blah blah blah. So please be patient and REVIEW!
