Chapter Two: Am I still in the Shrine?

)(F.Y.I um….HI! sorry I had writers block, o0o0o0o BTW those mean scenery change –k-?!)(

Kisa bowed, and smiled. "It's so nice of you to show me around, Kagome."

Kagome waved her hand to stop her. "Oh it was nothing! Believe me, I don't mind at all!" she replied blushing a bit.

Kisa smiled, and looked around the Higurashi's home. It really was beautiful, and the cherry blossoms that were in bloom, made the atmosphere that much better. She took in a breath of the crisp air, and looked back to Kagome.

"So Kisa, how about I show you around the shrine here first?" Kagome asked, gesturing her hand around her residence.

Kisa nodded, and walked by Kagome's side, as they walked toward the large tree she had passed by earlier. Kisa shivered again, and felt the hairs of her neck stand on end. Kagome looked at Kisa, and grinned. She walked over the gate that surrounded it, and pointed to a small dent in the tree's bark.

"This here is where the Half-demon InuYasha was sealed away for fifty-years. " She paused, before going on. "It was said that the blossoms never bloomed until, the curse was lifted, and the half-demon was set free."

Kisa stared keenly at the tree. It was as if she had seen this exact tree, and she was standing in front of it, without a meaning. She stared until Kagome cleared her throat to get her attention. Kisa shook her head, and nodded.

"Interesting. So… why was he pinned to the tree?" She asked walking closer, and climbing over the fence.

"Um…well, you see, there was a young priestess by the name of Kikyo, and she thought InuYasha had betrayed her, by taking the sacred jewel of four souls which she guarded; although, in fact, they were both deceived by the evil and treacherous Naraku." Kagome nodded, and put her index finger to her lips. "Yep, that's about right." Of course she couldn't tell Kisa the whole truth about the tree, but this was the best explanation that she could give for the moment.

Kisa touched the bark of the tree, and ran her palm up and down. "Wow. Sounds like a complicated story." She said almost dreamily.

Kagome nodded. "I guess you could say that." –Very complicated- she thought.

Kisa walked back over the fence, as did Kagome. Kisa looked over to the smaller shrine, and blinked a few times. She then turned back to Kagome. She locked her hands behind her back, and rocked back and forth.

"So what's in there, Kagome?" she asked.

Kagome walked over to the door, and slid it open. She waited for Kisa to walk inside, and slid the door behind both of them. As they walked down the wooden creaky steps to the well in front of them, Kisa scanned the room instantaneously. It was musty and very dark, ill illuminated by a small lantern. She walked closer to the well, and gripped the edge of it with her hands, and bent over it to take a look inside.

Kagome walked over to the other side of the well. "And this." She began, "Is the Bone-eaters well. Demon slayers would throw the bones, of destroyed demons in here."

Kisa looked up at Kagome, and shuddered. "That's gross." She said laughing a bit. "I mean where exactly did the bones go?" she asked.

Kagome laughed, not exactly giving her an answer. –I guess I can't tell her they went through time! - She thought.

Kisa looked around the room, and walked over to a large spear mounted on the wall. She read the little memo under it. –Hmmm….Spear of the undead? Sounds creepy, yet vaguely familiar. - She thought, narrowing her eyes in a focusing thought.

"Something interest you?" Kagome asked, looking from the spear to Kisa. "You know that spear, well; it was used to ward off some of the most horrendous demons out of the nearby village."

Kisa looked at Kagome. "Kagome, your shrine is so neat. I mean it has the most interesting things I've seen yet." She smiled. "I used to live in a dojo, but this is way better."

Kagome shrugged, and looked to the spear again. "I guess so, but I never really thought of it."

Kisa walked back over to the well, and bent over it again one last time. The necklace with the Japanese symbol for courage, and a small quartz jewel, Kisa was wearing caught on her hair. She put stood up and tried to untangle the knot, but by pulling the hook, the necklace fell into the well with a tink sound.

Kagome walked over to the well, and looked inside. She looked at Kisa. "Um, I'll get it for you." She said.

Kisa shook her head. "No need, I can get it! It's ok." She replied.

She brushed her braid back with her hand, and looked one last time at the well. –Oh Gawd I wonder how deep that is. Maybe I should just have Kagome go in for me? No! I'm not a baby I can get it myself. - She thought. She grabbed the railing of the well, and lifted her knee, so that it rested on it. Kisa, then lifted her foot, and jumped in.

Kagome waited for a thud, but heard none. She saw a bright multi colored light shoot from within the well. She covered her eyes, blinded by it. She ran over to the well's edge, and looked down. Her hair flung over her eyes. –What just happened? - Kagome thought uneasily.

Kisa closed her eyes waiting for her to hit the ground below. However, she couldn't feel anything beneath her. She looked around, nothing but a vague blue and purple mist was what surrounded her. She covered her mouth to not scream. Seconds later, she hit the ground knees first, and gasped for air. She lifted her head, and saw a light above her. She could hear the breeze outside, and birds singing their songs. She got off her knees, and brushed the dirt off of them.

-What the hell just happened? Where the hell am I? Am I even in the shrine still? - She thought scratching the back of her head in thought.

Kisa shook her head, and picked up her necklace that was beside her feet. She hooked it around her neck, and searched for a way out of the well. She saw some vines protruding from the wooden walls. She grabbed hold of one, and then slowly climbed her way out.

The day was just as it was; however before Kisa wasn't the darkened shrine she had just been in. Before her was a lush forest, and no sign of Kagome or her home. Kisa walked around blankly trying to figure out what was going on. She bit her bottom lip and paced back and forth.

Kagome lifted her head, and scratched the top of her head. –How did she get through the well? It just doesn't make sense! She didn't even have any jewel shards! - She thought, but before it actually sunk in, she shook her head, and jumped in after Kisa.

Kisa saw a bright light fired from the well, she let out a yelp, and fell back on the grass. She waited for something horrible to pop out at her, and eat her or something like that. As a figure emerged from the well, Kisa crawled back in fear, and her breathing began to increase in rapid huffs.

Kagome jumped from the well, and walked over toward Kisa. "Hey are you ok?" she asked.

Kisa blinked, and saw the figure was only Kagome. She nodded, and stood up. "Kagome, where exactly are we?"

Kagome put her hand on the back of her neck, and sighed. "Well, um…you're in Feudal Japan." She put her hand on Kisa's shoulder and led her to the well. "You uh see, this well is a passage through time. You see I'm the only who can pass through, but for some awkward reason you managed to break the barrier and pass through.

Kisa put her hand to her head, and rubbed her temples trying to soak all this information in. She felt her cheeks go red, as well as her ears. –What the hell is going on?!- She shouted inside her mind.
