3rd chapter!! Im so happy that I've gotten this far, and its all thanx to my fans!! Or......the people that read the fanfic for the heck of it. Eh...I call all of u ppl fans. Thanx again for taking time to read it! Oh, and I got a complaint about the chapters too short (-stares at Lisa-) so I'll try to make them longer, but if I don't, forgive me and ill try harder.

Oh! And I have also been aware of that one of my readers was confused on the whole 'rumors about Kagome,' etc. To clear things up, yes, Kagome did attend the same school as Chichiru and Kenima do now. Like I have said before(I think,) it has been a few years sense they've seen Kagome around the school yard, so now the rumors have been passed down through the years that she has been gone. I hope that helps....

The next morning, Chichiru woke up, startled that her alarm didn't go off, grabbed the white crystals, and raced down the hallway. She heard strange noises from her brother's room, but what did she care? She went into the kitchen, grabbed a Pop-Tart and went outside to her bike. She quickly checked through her school bag to see is she had the homework, got on the bike, and rode off down the road.

"Shit..I'm gonna be late AGAIN!" Chichiru said to herself, trying to concentrate on which way she was heading. Of course, concentrating on one thing wasn't her strong point, so she ended up taking a left at the corner instead of a right.

This looks different.....she thought. Wait a sec......I TOOK A WRONG TURN! Chichiru stopped her bike from going any further and turned back. Now she was really going to be late. As she pedaled up the hill that she had just raced down a few seconds ago, she was cussing at herself for being so stupid.

About 20 minutes later, she had arrived at school. She locked her bike up and raced into the building and headed for her 1st period class. When she got there, the room was completely empty. Damn it...that field trip to Tokyo Tower was today. She went over to her desk, put her things on the floor beside it, and sat down, staring at the blackboard. She heaved a huge sigh and closed her eyes. After about 5 minutes had gone by, Chichiru heard a voice from outside. She went to the window and was glad to see who she saw.

"Chichiru!!" Kenima yelled from outside. "Obviously you were late again today, huh? Come down here!"

"Okay....." Chichiru said, mostly to herself. What else was obvious was that Kenima was skipping class again. She went down to meet her on the swing set that belonged to the elementary school next to the high school.

"Yes, yes.....I skipped class. So what shit does it matter?" Kenima said, starting to swing.

"Well, you realize, Nami, that your permanent record isn't gonna be pretty. This might lead you to not going to college and not finding a job and grow up poor and homeless and–"Chichiru was cut off.

"Yeah, yeah. I know.....I get enough crap from my mom," She was swinging higher now, practically turning upside-down. "I know I have to improve, but I can't concentrate in class.."

"What else is new?" Chichiru grinned.

"Hey, hey, I'm serious this time!" Kenima slowed down. "Ever sense you mentioned that Bone Eater's Well, I couldn't stop thinking about it and adventuring into it to see if what the students said about Kagome was right."

Chichiru stared at the ground. "Yeah, I've been wondering about it, too," she looked up to the blue sky, with the wind blowing gently, making her hair wave in front of her face. "Ahh!! Hair!!"

"Ha....you know, you gotta start wearing a pony-tail," Kenima had stopped completely now, and looking at the sky too. Then she turned to Chichiru and totally changed the subject. "So....your brother get a g/f yet?"

"No," Chichiru said, sighing. "He won't do anything with the family anymore. I mean, sure he's in college, but he lives at home, for crap's sake."

"She will come soon hopefully, cause my feet are getting tired from skateboarding to school everyday...I need rides, damn it," Kenima looked down at her feet to find her skateboard next to them.

"Your too much of a tomboy," Chichiru looked at the skateboard, too.

"So what?! You gotta problem with that???" she got up and flipped her skateboard up into her hand. "Well, I better get going."

"You nuts? It's a school day....you can't just go home," Chichiru said, staring at her friend. "Your mom would probably freak."

"Who says I was going to go home?" Kenima had a smile on her face. " We're going back to the Well."

They had both went to the shrine once more and were now standing beside the well, ready to begin their journey...if they could get in. This triggered something in Chichiru's mind.

"That's right!" Chichiru took her bag and searched for the crystals. "Here they are!" She held them up enough for Kenima to see.

"Wtf?" Kenima took hold of the crystals and examined them. "What are these pieces of crap supposed to do?"

"Well," Chichiru got up. "I asked my mom's friend, who is a history teacher, and she said that they were replicas of the shards of the Sacred Jewel. She also said that these used to be the shards that Kagome had brought home before she went back to the era. Kagome basically said that she only needed one shard to get through."

Kenima stood there, looking at her friend, confused. "I have absolutely no idea what you just said, but I understand that these crystals can help us get through!"

"Uhhh....right," a worry drop had formed on the back of Chichiru's head. " Anyway, I think I better get going," She got up and started to walk away.

"Oooohhh...no u don't!" Kenima grabbed the back of Chichiru's neck collar and pulled her back and made Chichiru face her. "We're are going down that well....NOW! While we aren't noticed!"

Chichiru heaved a huge sigh and decided to go along with it. She took out her crystal and held it tight and Kenima did the same. Kenima started to get in with one foot already over the edge. Chichiru, however, was very nervous. What if something goes horribly wrong and we get stuck there for awhile? She heaved another sigh and followed her friend down the well.
