Chapter 3- The three fate scroll readers

In feudal Japan Sango a woman demon slayer and Shippo a young fox demon were the well which connected to Kagome's world discussing. "Only Inuyasha and Kagome can go through the well-" Shippo was cut off. A light filled the well and a loud crash came from inside it.

"It is Kagome?" Sango asked trying to see past the small cloud of dust that was coming up.

"I don't think so." Shippo said. "There has never been any light or crash before when Kagome came back.

"Shippo, you go get Inuyasha and Miroku. I'll try and find what made the crash." Sango said jumping down the well. Shippo ran off as fast as he could to get Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Inuyasha!!! Miroku!!!" Shippo yelled at the top of his little lungs. "Hurry something happened at the well there was a crash, and strange light. Sango is trying to find what made the crash." Inuyasha and Miroku hurried over to the well without question.

There were a few fallen bricks on the floor of the well. Sango was digging through them trying to find anyone or anything that may have caused the crash. When Shippo came back with Inuyasha and Miroku, Inuyasha jumped in the well. "Have you found anything?" He asked digging through the bricks with Sango.

"Not yet." Sango replied. With in seconds they uncovered a girl who seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen, Kagome's age. Inuyasha carried her out of the well and Sango followed him.

"She looks like Kagome." Said Miroku the eighteen year old monk, "But she has light brown hair, and Kagome's hair is black."

"She is wearing weird clothes like Kagome." Inuyasha pointed out. "She could be from her time."

"I think your right Inuyasha." Shippo said observing the girls clothes.

"We should take her to Kaede." Miroku said. "She can treat her. Don't you agree Inuyasha?"

"Yeah that would be best." Inuyasha replied. Sango, who had been observing the girl all through their conversation, suddenly pointed something out.

"The girl, she has a bag around her arm." She gently removed the bag from her arm and opened it. "Nothing but some blank books, and bits of paper." Thinking nothing more of this, Sango put the bag and its contents back on the girls arm. Inuyasha picked her up and carried her to the village where Kaede lived. Miroku, Sango and Shippo followed wondering how the girl got here.

In Kaede's home Inuyasha laid the girl on a futon. "Poor girl." Kaede said observing her torn clothes and many bruises and scrapes. "She is no more than a harmless human girl."

"Sango and Shippo said she came through the well." Inuyasha said observing Kaede as she wet a cloth and began to dab her face.

"Has she come to?" Miroku asked as he, Sango, and Shippo came in through the door.

"Not yet." Inuyasha said still observing Kaede dabbing the girls face. She started to move a little, and opened her blue eyes.

"Where am I?" She said putting a hand to her forehead.

"Are you all right child?" Kaede asked her voice full of concern.

"Yea-" the girl had started to answer. She seemed to have just taken in where she was. "You," she said pointing to Kaede, "You're Kaede." She turned around and pointed to Miroku. "You're Miroku." She turned to Sango and Shippo. "You're Sango and Shippo." She said. The girl turned and faced Inuyasha, "And you are Inuyasha" She had another look around the room. "but where is Kagome?" Everyone was amazed that she knew exactly who they were without hesitation.

"Hey, who exactly are you and how do you know who we all are?" Inuyasha demanded.

"My name is Kirsty. Where I come from you're an anime." Kirsty explained. She looked down at herself. "I'm an anime character." She said stunned.

"Just what the heck is anime?" Inuyasha asked not believing her. Kirsty took the bag which was from her arm and took out the blank book and opened it to a page.

"This is anime." She said pointing to what seemed to be a blank page.

"You're her. The third Fate Scroll reader, you are finally here!" Kaede exclaimed.

"What are you getting at Kaede? What is a Fate Scroll reader?" Inuyasha asked utterly dumbfounded.

"Miroku, do you know what a Fate Scroll reader is?" Sango asked.

"Not a clue." Miroku answered. Everyone but Kaede was clueless to what a Fate Scroll reader was, especially Kirsty. They all gathered around Kaede.

"The Fate Scroll readers are the only people who can actually see what is going to happen next. They will come across a book or scroll, which appears blank to others, but it shows them what is going to happen next to anyone, whom they want, expect themselves. Before now, there have only been two Fate Scroll readers. Inuyasha's Father and myself, but now as both of us have seen our scrolls, the third Fate Scroll reader has come." Kaede said staring at Kirsty.

"Me?" Kirsty said amazed. Gesturing to the pile of books she spoke again. "I can see the future, in these books." Kaede nodded.

"You only need one book. Open any of them, and you will see al the events have changed. Kaede was right; all the pictures in the comic book had changed, to show what would happen to the group.

"Wait a second!" Inuyasha said indignantly. "I have two things to ask you. First thing, if you're a Fate Scroll reader then why didn't you tell us so we could get the jewel shards faster not have to waste so much time?"

"Because," Kaede said knowingly "everything up to know was a necessity for you to experience. And I knew that if I revealed my ability to Kagome and you, you would drag me around with you collecting the jewel shards, which I am not able to do. But Kirsty is." Everyone turned to Kirsty.

"Well, do you accept girl? Will you come along with us and help stop Naraku?" Inuyasha asked, assuming that if she knew who he was, she would know who Naraku was.

"I accept." Kirsty replied. "This is far better than waiting to see what will happen next in the series, I'm actually am in it. I will be able to help defeat Naraku the half-demon who tricked Inuyasha and Kikyo into fighting each other, and is after the Shikon Jewel shards as well. Kirsty thought to herself.

"You also said that my Father was a Fate Scroll reader?" Inuyasha asked unbelieving.

"Yes." Kaede replied. "And he knew that the Shikon Jewel would break. So he placed a portal in the third Fate Scroll readers home, because he knew that only she could help his son."

"There is one thing that I do not understand." Miroku said, he had been listening to the conversation and thinking. "How did you know that Inuyasha's father was a Fate Scroll reader, if not even Inuyasha knew?"

"Inuyasha's Father, Inutaisho knew that I would be the second Fate Scroll reader, and sought me out, so that I could help the third Fate Scroll reader when she comes. He told me all that he had done to help her, and all that she was destined for. Inutaisho never revealed his power to anyone else, and I never revealed my gift to anyone until now; or everyone would seek me out, to try and find out about their future. You should do the same Kirsty, do not reveal you power to anyone except Kagome. If Naraku gets his hands on you, there will be no stopping him. Now go there is nothing more I can say to you;" They all left Kaede's home. "for now, anyway." Kaede thought to herself, knowing that Kirsty would find something.
