DECLAIMER: all I own is Lex and Tojun, all the other characters are from inuyasha.
The wind sped by the fast moving airplane. A look though the window would show you that it was flying over the squared off land that was Japan.
"Are we there yet?" asked Lex, being the factual, intelligent girl that she was.
"3…2…1" Tojun counted.
"We have arrived in Tokyo Japan" announced the pilot of the plane.
"…" Lex looked surprised.
"How did you do that?"
"You always ask on cue," Tojun smirked. Her dark brown eye winked at the small blonde.
"Really!...I do?" Lex scrunched op her nose.
"Usually," Tojun replied, as they stepped down the tall steps that led out of the plane. Lex stood in aw at its enormity.
"Hurry up Lex, we have a tour of the locals in an hour!" Tojun scolded. Lex looked down. It wasn't long before they were on the tour as scheduled.
(Authors note: I could have put in a long boring description but I felt I would be kind enough to spare the details)
"And to your left, you can see the well preserved ancient shrine, owned by the Higarashi family. They believe that the shrine is connected with the large tree to your right known as the Sacred Tree" The tour guide pointed towards a large – obviously old – tree surrounded by a fence. The tree had a large scar that looked as though someone had taken a knife and scraped all the bark off in that one patch. Lex looked over to the shrine.
"I want to go see the shrine…" Lex suggested. Tojun shook her head.
"No Lex, we have to stay with the group. Besides, that's someone else's property!" Tojun said, getting a bit ticked off.
"But Tojun, Its research! You won't make me miss an opportunity like this!...Will you?" Lex wined.
"Watch me!" Tojun turned her back toward Lex and crossed her arms.
"…chicken…" Lex said quietly. Tojun cringed. Ever since she could remember, she had been terrified to death of chickens. Those nasty little buggers made her skin crawl. Now she was being called one of those, monsters. She couldn't take it.
"Ok, fine, only a quick look though." Tojun gave in. Lex rubbed her hands together.
"Quick look, got it." Lex crossed her fingers behind their back. The two girls procided towards the shrine. The small building was old; the door creaked open when Tojun pushed it. Inside, it was very dusty and dark. Only small rays of light shone through the cracks in the walls.
"Ewwww…dusty" Lex sneezed, "Achoo!" She looked around the room. In the center was a giant hole.
"oooooo! Look, a large holey, thingie!" Lex walked over to the hole and stuck her whole body up to her waits into it.
"This looks like it use to be used as a well!" Lex observed. Tojun walked aimlessly toward the well.
"oops.." she said sarcastically as she gently nudged Lex further into the well.
"Hey you could have…AHHHHHH!" Lex screamed as she fell head first into the well.
"Lex? Lex! Ok, watch out Lex, I'm commin' down!" Tojun yelled as she jumped into the well. She heard Lex stop screaming.
"Lex?" Tojun was plunged into darkness. Then from nowhere, sters surrounded her from every angle. At that instant, she no linger felt like the was falling, but rather being pulled by some strange force to a preset destination.
"What the F?" Tojun saw a light, and was apparently pulled towards it. The force caused her to land in a pile of dust and bones, at the bottom of what seemed to be the same well. Lex was sprawled out beside her.
"Lex, are you ok?" Tojun asked.
"Yeah, I will be once we get out of this creepy place!" Lex looked around her at the many bones. Tojun got up and put her hand out to give Lex a boost.
"Hurry up Lex, I don't like this place anymore then you do!" Tojun coaxed. Lex got up onto her hand and Tojun pushed her up. Lex pulled herself out of the well. The sight That she saw then made her stop dead in her tracks.
"Lex? Lex! Snap out of it and help me out!' Tojun yelled. Lex shook her head to escape the trans-like state she had been in and knelt down to help Tojun out of the well. As her head emerged, Tojun could see why Lex had acted the way the did. They were on the edge of a forest; and endless grassland stretched out in the opposite direction.
"Uh, I guess we're not in Kansas any more." Tojun commented.
"I don't even think we're in Tokyo anymore!" Lex added. Tojun shook her head.
"…blondes," she mumbled. Lex looked around.
"Hey look, It's that tree!" Lex noticed that a large tree bearing the same scar as the Sacred Tree was standing in the forest not to far away.
" We might actually be in the same place, but in a different world…or time" Lex commented. Lex brushed the dust off her bum. She grabbed her backpack.
"I guess…we walk now." Tojun suggested, grabbing her own red bag. Lex hefted her black backpack over her shoulder.
"Maybe I shouldn't have brought so much stuff." Lex said quietly.
"Ya think?" Tojun smirked. With their futures unclear, the two girls trudged ahead into the unknown.
