"Bye mom!" yelled Allyson. She had just received the letter saying that she would be staying at the Higurashi residence. So excited to meet the girl Kagome, who was her age. I wonder if she'll be a friend forever, Allyson thought. Suddenly nervous, she went over some Japanese phrases. Who am I kidding? She thought to herself I know all of this stuff! It was a long flight. But it was entertaining. As the plane neared the airport, Allyson, started to brush out her long, black hair. Just to look a little better, she put it into a braid. The plane touched the ground. Basically jumping out of her pants with excitement, she walked of the plane and searched for the Higurashi family.
I don't see any one who might be them, but wait! That's my name on that poster over there! She ran over to the old man who was holding the poster. "Hello grandfather, would you be Mr. Higurashi?" Allyson asked with much respect. "I am Allyson Jenye". "Well then, come Allyson, the car is outside" the old man said, and continued with, "I apologize, for the rest of the family not being here. Kagome is at home studying math. The poor girl isn't too good at it". Allyson perked at this, for she was extremely good at math. "I could help her" she said very quietly. Just as she said this, they pulled up to the shrine. "Wow this is a beautiful shrine. Man I wish I knew a little more about shrines." Allyson said with awe. She got out of the car and saw a girl run towards her. Its Kagome! Oh my gosh! She looks just like me! Allyson thought with a shock. And indeed there was very little that was different between them. Kagome also noticed this, but simply said, "Hello! I'm Kagome. Welcome to Japan!" and made a respectful bow. Allyson returned the bow. "Hello Kagome. I'm Allyson and your grandfather told me you have some trouble with math. I'm good at it, and I was wondering if you need some help." Kagome nodded and introduced her brother, mother, and her cat. They all went inside and had some dinner. After dinner, Allyson noticed that Kagome sneaked off away to the mini shrine. She just pushed the thought away, and went back to listening to Kagome's grandfather tell her about Japanese myths.
Kagome hasn't come back yet! I wonder if I should mention it. Allyson thought as she went bed. She decided not to. The next morning, Saturday, she was eating breakfast and saw that after breakfast, Kagome, went to the mini shrine again. This is weird, she leaves after eating and doesn't even ask for help with her homework! I wonder what she does, were Allyson's thoughts.
She just sighed, and went back to playing with the cat. Kagome didn't come back until after they were all asleep. Sunday morning, Allyson decided to follow Kagome after breakfast. Kagome left, and one minute later, so did Allyson. Secretly following Kagome to the shrine, she peaked into the mini shrine just in time to see Kagome jump down the dried up well. Huh? She thought after a few minutes, she's not coming up?. So Allyson went inside the shrine and down the steps. She looked inside the well. Kagome wasn't in the well! Allyson was so surprised to find this out that she toppled over. She caught her self, but only after she was over thelip of the well. She was inside the well but holding on to the top of the well. This isn't going to help at all she sighed with frustration, I'll just let go and climb up. So she let go and suddenly was drifting through blackness. Thud! Ground at last! She saw some vines and climbed up to find there was no mini shrine around her. Then she saw Kagome, staring at her. An astonished Kagome asked, "How did you get through the well?"
Allyson just looked blankly at Kagome. "What do mean how? Where is the mini shrine? And who is he?" she finished pointing at a tall demon with dog ears and claws on his hand instead of nails. Kagome turned around to see the demon. "Oh him. This is Inuyasha, Inuyasha this is-." she was interrupted by Inuyasha saying, "Kikyo? Kagome she looks more like Kikyo than you do, if that's possible.". Allyson stared at him. She was about to say something when she felt a sense tingling that had never happened before. "I feel something tingling at the edge of my senses." she told them, only to find that Kagome was talking as well, "I sense a Shikon shard" and she ran to her bicycle and was met with a cute little fox like demon and a monk with beads around his right hand. "Kagome, yay!" the little fox demon said but was cut off when he saw Allyson. He just shook his head and jumped into the basket that was attached to her bike. They all started running east with Kagome in the lead with Inuyasha after her. Allyson wasn't quite sure what was going on, but she ran after them as well. As she fell into place next to the monk, he told her that he was Miroku and the fox demon was Shippo. He also said he was amazed she got through the well and that she could run so fast and continually. "But I'm starting to feel a little tired so you might want to take that back." Allyson replied. Suddenly, Kagome shouted " The shards are going two different ways". Inuyasha started to curse under his breath but finally said, "Great, just wonderful. Now we have to chose a way to go.". This is when Allyson spoke up, "this Shikon shard, I feel its presence. I'm not sure why but I can tell which ways they are going." That settled she and Miroku went one way and the other three went the opposite. As they started to closer the shard, Allyson felt the presence get stronger. Soon they came upon a really weird demon. It looked like a naked woman from the hip and up, but below the waist line, was a giant snake tail. Scales covered the woman's arms and cheeks. Her tongue, was a snake's tongue. When Allyson took a good look at her tail, she something glow and just knew that it was the shard. "Where is the shard?" Miroku asked. "Right below the hip line" she said back. Then she noticed that the demon was coming after her. Completely scared out of her wits, she just screamed. Putting her arms in front of her, suddenly there came a blast from her hands and threw the demon back a few meters.
Shocked, she stared at her hands. Miroku did notice, but he was fighting the giant snake woman. He threw a bunch of paper at the demon. When she saw the paper, they had squiggles on them. Anyway, they stuck to the demon. The demon stopped moving, but it looked like it really wanted to move. Miroku twirled his staff into the torso, right where the glow was, and a piece of jewel fell out. "Nicely done!", Allyson shouted. Miroku then pulled off the beads and yelled, "Wind Tunnel!", and to Allyson's surprise, the demon was sucked up into his hand. When the demon was gone he put the beads around his arm and all the wind that had been pulling everything, stopped. As he turned around to face her he said, "Don't touch the shard, we should wait for Kagome. We need her to..." he was cut off when he saw Allyson holding a purified Shikon shard.
Some how to finish off with "purify it" just sounded really stupid. His face is really funny with his mouth open and nearly dropping to the floor. I wonder what I did that was so amazing, she thought with a smile. About an hour later, all five of them were in a hut that belonged to a priestess by the name of Kaede. All except Inuyasha were sitting down. Inuyasha was pacing inside the hut. Allyson was still a little confused of why she had powers and why she was in the era. "Yes, she does look like Kikyo. And much more than Kagome may I add." Kaede was saying. Allyson was getting a little irritated with Inuyasha's pacing. "Inuyasha please sit" she asked. Boom! Everyone turned around to see Inuyasha flat on his face. The beads around his neck were glowing.
"What the hell!" Inuyasha looked really upset, "How come no one told me she could do that!" Allyson looked so confused. She looked at every one that was staring at her and felt embarrassed. Finally she said, "What do you mean? I don't understand what I can do". Kagome walked over to comfort her. "Inuyasha's necklace allows me to control him with a word. Up until now, it has only been able to control him through me. Plus, you have spiritual powers, can come through the well, and look just like Kikyo. Its like me coming through the well for the first time all over again.". Allyson had a few questions but until now wasn't sure when to ask them. But now she did, "I keep hearing th name Kikyo, and I'd like to know who she is." Allyson said with a timid voice. Kagome then started to laugh. Allyson look so confused and a little hurt. " I didn't know who Kikyo was when I came here too. But I do know now", Kagome told with a little amusement in her voice. " Kikyo was a priestess that lived 50 years ago in this era and 550 years ago in our era. She and Inuyasha used to be in love. Inuyasha was after the Shikon jewel to turn into a full demon. He is only half demon, so his mother was a human and his father was a demon. Any way, back to Kikyo. At one point, Inuyasha decided to become a human for Kikyo. But the day that he was going to do it, a demon named Naraku, transformed into Kikyo and shot arrows at Inuyasha to make Inuyasha think that Kikyo never meant to love him. And then Naraku changed into Inuyasha to do the same thing. So then Inuyasha stole the jewel and attacked the village. Kikyo, then sealed Inuyasha to the sacred tree for 50 years. She died and went peacefully to her death. 50 years later, I found this era and released Inuyasha from the spell. The Shikon Jewel that was inside of my body is 'proof' that I'm a reincarnation of Kikyo. Any way to make a long story short, I accidently broke the Jewel into a lot of shards so we are trying to find the shards to put the jewel back together." Kagome finished. There was long pause. Finally, Inuyasha broke the pause with, "So who is Allyson? She has spiritual powers, and she looks like Kikyo even more.". Another long pause. "Perhaps its possible that she is also a reincarnation of Kikyo. Because only people with complete holiness and purity can control the necklace." Kaede said with out any expression.
Miroku disagreed, " If that was true, Kaede, then as a monk I would be able to control Inuyasha too.". At this point Inuyasha stood up and yelled, " NOT A CHANCE YOU PERVERTED MONK! AT THE WAY YOU GO AFTER WOMEN AND RUB THEIR ASSES, YOU ARE HARDLY PURE!" Allyson was taken back. A monk, a holy figure, is a pervert!
She thought with disbelief. How is that even possible? Her thoughts were interrupted by Kagome saying " Allyson it's time we went back since you never told mom that you were coming here, and they'll be looking for you pretty soon." Allyson started walking after her, when Miroku said "I shall accompany you to the well", and he followed. When they got to the well, Kagome started to pack her huge back pack. Meanwhile, Allyson sat on the lip of the well waiting.
