Raquel Medeiros was staring out the window of a plane for the millionth time in the past hour. She was moving to some place in Japan where everyone spoke English. Her mom got a good price on an old shrine.
Raquel was listening to her Linkin Park c.d. and didn't realize she was singing faint out loud when a woman walked over and said "Oh wow you have a lovely voice. Can you sing amazing grace?"
Raquel thought about singing it but then realized that the woman must have been being sarcastic because there was NO way Raquel could sing – even if her life depended on it. Raquel then responded "I'm sorry for singing so loud I didn't mean to and I promise you I won't be disturbing you for the rest of the plan ride."
Then the lady went back to her seat with a smile on her face and the woman somehow felt rejuvenated and filled with energy just from hearing the small bit of faint and somehow she felt a bit more powerful too....
Raquel and her mother finally unpacked all of their things in their new home and Raquel was now also enrolled in the local high school. (Just so that you know when Kagome died somehow everyone that was left behind in her time like Hojo, their memories were swept away of any memory of Kagome they once had.)
It was a Sunday afternoon and Raquel had just arrived home from church (Roman Catholic). Raquel still hadn't seen everything that was on her land yet so before getting changed from her baby blue sundress which she didn't really like to wear that often, she did prefer to wear pants, she went into the well house to check things out a bit.
All of a sudden her new pet cat which she bought upon arriving named Keitaro which means blessed in Japanese, jumped onto the top of the well which was sealed up with wood and so she did the same this time she only sat on the rim of the well so she knew her weight would be balanced.
She then picked up her cat and said "Come on Keitaro let's go inside so I can get changed and fix you something to eat ok?" Keitaro just responded with one meow as a "yes" or "ok" Somehow Raquel felt weird being in the well house because it felt sort of familiar but she shrugged it out of her mind.
Raquel walked to her room and got dressed into a pair of jeans and a black shirt that said MC DC with a thunderbolt in the middle so it looked like AC DC as a joke. After that Raquel walked to the kitchen and then got a saucer of milk for Keitaro and set the dinner table.
Raquel's mother went out to buy some groceries and Raquel thought about going for a walk. Raquel decided to leave a note it said
MOM BE BACK SOON WENT FOR A WALK –RAQUEL
Raquel walked over her newly bought land and sat down on a bench but fell asleep. This is what she dreams: A bunch of villagers are covering their faces and yelling, "It's Inuyasha!" with fear. A boy with long white hair, amber eyes, pointy dog-ears on top of his head and dressed all in red bursts out of a building trapped in a net.
He rips his way out of the net and laughs, using buildings and gates as push off points to go farther. The villagers are trying to capture him but it's no use. He bursts into a hut that looks like shrine and covers his nose with his arm - I assume it's because of the incense. In the center of the shrine is a jewel that's glowing with an eerily purple light.
The boy snatches the jewel and villagers burst into the shrine through the doors behind him. He spins around, dodges the spears accidentally knocking over incense burners and setting the place on fire, and bursts through the roof of the building, jewel still in hand. He says that with the jewel he can now become a full-blooded demon.
He keeps running away from the village when suddenly a woman yells out, "INUYASHA!" She has a bow in hand and shoots an arrow at him. The arrow hits him through the heart and pins him to a tree. The boy drops the jewel. "Ki...Kikyo..." the boy says, and then dies.
The woman stumbles to where the jewel is, leaving a trail of blood behind her. The villagers run over to her, along with her little sister. The woman picks up the jewel and winces in pain. Her whole body is shaking. Her little sister is trying to get her to go treat her wound but the woman tells her sister (she calls her Kaede) that it's already too late. She tells Kaede to burn the jewel along with her body. Then the woman dies. Her body is burned along with the jewel.
Raquel wakes up and says to herself out loud "wow that was one weird dream I've been getting a lot of weird dreams like that lately I wonder why."
Raquel walked around and saw a tree and then says, "Wow this tree looks pretty old. Wait a minute this tree was in my dream it's the one that boy was pinned to. This is getting really strange!"
Raquel then goes inside and gets her disc man and grabs one of her c.d.'s without looking at any of them. She then walks outside and keeps walking around and is looking around and then spots Keitaro in the well house again.
She goes to Keitaro and says, "You like it in here do you? You have any ideas of what my next poem/song lyrics should be about?" Keitaro then responds with one meow meaning a yes and then jumps onto the sealed up well.
Raquel says, "Come here Keitaro get down from there we don't know how stable the wood is!" Keitaro just meows twice as a no. Raquel then responds, "If I sing will you get off?" Keitaro then responds with one meow-a yes.
Raquel then said, "I don't know what to sing, so I can't!" Keitaro then moved even farther away from her. She then said, "all right, all right I'll sing um, a Josh Groban song all right!"
Raquel then sang only one verse of canto alla vita (the part where the girl sings in English) :I seem to life, to it's tragic beauty, pain and to strife, but all that dances threw me, rise down the fall and live threw it all.
Raquel then said, "There are you happy now!" All of a sudden the wood started shaking from underneath them and both Raquel and Keitaro fell threw.
Raquel's surprised to find herself outside in a forest, not inside the shrine where she lives. She walks away from a well and sees the sacred tree and thinks 'It's that tree, maybe if I go to it I'll find my way back.'
Raquel goes to the tree and sees a boy pinned to the tree by an arrow and sees that he has dog-ears on the top of his head. All of a sudden an old woman was screaming "YOU THEIR STOP, COME HERE!"
Raquel was nervous so she backed up and knocked into the body that was pinned to the tree, all of a sudden the boy started awakening and Raquel was getting even more nervous by the second.
The woman then said, "Wait, please we mean ye no harm. Judging by your clothing I'm guessing you're from another time period and fell threw the well?" Raquel then responded, "Well yes, what's going on here this is all so strange and why is the boy from my dream pinned to the tree like in my dream? It was only a dream. Right?"
The woman then responded "Please, I will explain everything but first for introductions. My name is Lady Kaede and the boy is Inuyasha. He is half demon but you have nothing to fear. There are lot's of things you must know and we must find out but first what is your name?"
Raquel paused for a moment debating whether or not she should tell this stranger her name but she then decided it couldn't hurt. Raquel said, "My name is Raquel."
Lady Kaede then explained about the books she had found and about Naraku who disguised himself as Lady Kaede and told Kagome she must die which was probably the only solution. She also talked about Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku.
Raquel then said, "That's all fine and dandy but what dose that have to do with me?" Lady Kaede then explained that only people with some kind of magic or powers can fall threw the well she also explained about all the happening of reincarnations.
She then also explained that no one from Raquel's time would remember Kagome and the people from the past wouldn't remember very well some people may have slight memories but very brief ones.
Lady Kaede then asked Raquel "Now tell me child what happened before you fell threw the well?" Raquel then said "Well I was sitting on the ledge of the well and the well was sealed with wood and my cat Keitaro landed on top of the well and he wouldn't get off of it and I wasn't sure how stable the wood was so I thought that if I sang a song he would get off but while I was singing I went on more of the wood to get him and I was really stable but I fell threw the wood but it was like something was sucking me down and well here I am now..."
Lady Kaede then said "Do you mind singing for me?" Raquel then said "Are you sure I mean I have a horrible voice I wouldn't want you to go deaf. And I'm not sure what to sing..." Lady Kaede then said, "No, please really. Oh, and just sing whatever you want it doesn't matter."
Raquel decided to sing Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway (No one in this time knows any of these songs any way) When she starts singing Inuyasha totally wakes up and many different people and creatures are listening, some who can hear better with their ears than others...
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
[Chorus]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
Raquel then said "I'm sorry, I don't really have a good voice." Raquel said this even though her voice was breathtaking, even to someone who hated music, or didn't like the particular type she was singing.
Raquel then turned around and was staring face-to-face, eye-to-eye, with a boy with dog-ears who had been pinned to the tree who, was in her dream and Lady Kaede was talking about. Well once she looked down at his mouth she noticed it hanging open.
Raquel then turned her head around to Lady Kaede and turned her head back to Inuyasha and Raquel wasn't sure what to say so she just responded with a simple "Hello" and backed up a few steps.
Inuyasha then responded, "Kik, Kikyo wait you can't be her your hair is brown and you can sing. WHO ARE YOU!" Raquel then said "Nice to meet you to..." she then responded, "My name is Raquel. Inuyasha, Lady Kaede has already told me about you."
Lady Kaede and Raquel both explained to Inuyasha everything that had happened he then responded, "That's all nice and all but, DOSE ANYONE MIND GETTING ME DOWN FROM HERE!" Raquel then walked up to him then said "Oh ya sorry." She then pulled out the arrow.
