A/N: Well, how was the Prologue? I know that it may seem confusing, and it doesn't tell you much on what's going to happen in the story.. but U really put it there because you needed to know what had happened between the gang, and Inuyasha and Kagome. Anyway, here's the next chappie, and I hope you like it!!!
Chapter 1: The Wish of a Fairytale
The sun's radiant rays filled the city of Tokyo, signaling the time for many to wake to go to work. The golden light spilled its glory upon the land. The streaks made its way to a window, and slowly crept in. The glorious rays spilled their beauty upon the peaceful face of Kairi. Her eyes winced as the bright light covered her eyes. She slowly rose to a sitting position, letting out a quiet yawn. Stretching her arms, she climbed out of the soft comfort from her blankets and stood before her window. She gazed out into the world she was familiar with, the one she had spent all her life.
Deep in her heart, she longed to leave this vastly city. She was tired of the same thing every day, and always dreamed of a world full of fantasy and magic. Her mother had always told her stories about a place called feudal Japan, a place where demons existed, and a sacred jewel. She had mentioned about a young girl who would travel through an ancient well to the era so she could help a hanyou recover the shattered fragments. However, she never mentioned the fact that she was the girl.
Kairi let out an irritated sigh, her navy blue eyes scanning the busy life before her. "Another day, another boring life." She shrugged as her heart filled with an undescribable emotion. For some reason, she felt alone, like no one was there with her. She felt wanted, needed, and loved.
Quite often, her mind would drift into a peaceful dream about the magnificent world her mom had told her about in stories. She would dream that she was the one by the hanyou's side, enjoying the relaxing breeze of the feudal era. Although, she would never know the name of this hanyou, for her mother had never mentioned it. She let out another sigh as her mind was brought back to reality. "Why can't fairytales be true?" Her heart flooded with more pain and more desire to leave this vast world.

"Mother?" Kagome was sitting on a chair, reading the morning newspaper, as she always did. She slowly lifted her head, gazing into the pained eyes of her daughter. "What is it my dear?" Kairi paused, thinking of the correct way to phrase her question. "Um...first, I have a question that I need answered." "Go on." "You know the stories you always tell me?" "Yes?" "The hanyou, what's his name?"
Kagome froze as her daughter asked that question. She saw many memories come back and flash before her eyes. Without realizing it, she had begun to cry, but she still answered. "Inuyasha." Kairi gasped as she saw the tears streaming down her mother's face. The name she said filled her ears, making joy arouse within her. For some unknown reason, she felt better, knowing the name of the mysterious hanyou.
"Inuyasha."
She repeated back with a gentle tone. Her eyes were beaming with delight. Kagome glanced up, noticing the look of pleasure in her daughter's eyes. She also noticed a look of distance, like she was daydreaming or something. And she was.

Kairi carelessly meandered through her families' property. All around her rose pink cherry blossoms were prancing to the earth, their petals glistening as the sun's golden rays shown on them. Their sweet fragrance filled her nose as she was lost in her thoughts.
'Why?' She let out an irritated sigh as she continued her stroll. 'Why can't Inuyasha and feudal Japan be real? Why does it have to nothing more than a feudal fairytale?' She slowly placed her hands behind her head and gazed at the cloudless sky. Really, the only thing she enjoyed about her home was the view she got on days that were warm and had a gentle breeze. She was desperate, and would do almost anything to live the life of a fairytale.
As she was walking, she came to a halt by the family's storage house. Her eyes scanned the building carefully. "Something's different about it?" She couldn't place her finger on it, but it didn't seem like the old vacant building they had owned for several years. For some reason, she felt as if strong vibes of life were pulsating through to her, like someone was calling her. Curiosity quickly took control of her mind, and told her to investigate.
She began to move around like a secret agent. As quiet as she could, she crept up to the large wooden doors. Her raven hair was dancing with the zephyr that rolled through the city. Carefully, she encompassed her slender fingers around the brass handle of the door and gave a tug, revealing the inside of the empty room. Her eyes strained to see inside the room for it was almost pitch black. But when the light from day poured in, her eyes widened at the site. "Huh?"
Dwelling in the center of the room was a small, ancient looking well, sitting their quietly as if waiting for someone or something. Her heart began to race as her eyes studied the magnificent feature. The walls of the well looked as if they were built from a type of wood that no longer existed. A few vines had wrapped themselves craftily around the rim of the well, making it look even more ancient. What scared her most was the fact that the well had never been there before. It was like it just appeared out of no where, like some apparition created it for a cause.
Her body urged her to go on, but a feeling in her heart told her danger. She couldn't decide what to do, and was having a battle in her mind. 'Should I go? Should I leave?' "Uh!" She began to get frustrated, but then just let her body take control. The curiosity was so strong that she decided to approach the well.
With slow and steady steps, she inched closer and closer, almost afraid of what she might find, then again excited if it were something valuable. Finally, her eyes were gazing into its dusky depths. With wonder building stronger, she gently placed her hand on the rim of the well and leaned forward. As soon as she made contact, a strange feeling surged through her body.
It felt as if a power deep inside was being awakened, like a new force was being brought to the surface. She perceived the desire to go into the tenebrious depths of the well. Her eyes scanned every inch, absorbing each precise detail.
Summoning up every ounce of courage, she positioned her body on the other side of the wall, supporting herself with only her hands and feet. More energy surged through her body, giving her the bravery needed to drop into the murky darkness. As she prepared to let go, a white flame engulfed her body. Her fingers warily began to slip from the rim. Her jet-black hair danced gracefully with the light breeze that carried through the room, occasionally covering her dark blue eyes. Within seconds, her body embarked on its journey to the bottom of the well.
However, instead of crashing to solid ground, the air around her turned to a misty blue. A shimmering fog encompassed her body as she floated through the air. She felt as if she were traveling through space and tine itself. Joy quickly kindled inside her body.
Suddenly, she noticed that her body was becoming sleepy, and exhausted, as if she had run several miles. Her eyelids were becoming heavy as she struggled to stay awake. She couldn't take it anymore, and gave in to her bodies yearning for rest. The glistening light began to cease as the scenery around her became more solid. Her sleeping body carefully rested upon a soft, gentle bed of grass. Hours seemed to past before she woke.
Her eyes winced as a bright ray of light poured into her pupils. She slowly rose, letting out a peaceful yawn. She gasped when she noticed what surrounded her. Instead of concrete sidewalks, skyscrapers, and hordes of people, there were glistening streams, rolling plains, and many trees that were dancing in the gentle breeze that blew through the peaceful land. Her heart began to race as her eyes scanned the new landscape. "I...I have a feeling I'm not in T-Tokyo anymore." Suddenly, a feeling of bliss flushed through her body. Kairi quickly rose to her feet, a large smile spreading itself across her face. "I'm not in Tokyo anymore."
A/N: And, that's a close for this chappie! I know it's a cliffhanger, and you guys don't like them that much, but it works out perfect for the next chapter. I hope that you did like this one, and please review!!! Until then, Ja ne!
