A/N: I'd like to give a special thanks to Kuroi Neko 13. Thanks again for your review! More reviews please!
Allyson waited patiently on the well. A little bored, she pulled her black hair back with a green ribbon. As she did, she saw Miroku coming towards her. Tying the ribbon into a bow, she watched him come over. When he reached her, he knelt down and said,
"Will you bear my children?"
"Ack!" Completely taken back, Allyson fell into the well with shock. Inuyasha was right! He is a pervert! She thought, I'm barely 15! Shaking her head, she climbed out of the well to find herself back in the mini shrine.
"Huh? How did I get back here? Man am I confused. Well at least I don't have to deal with Miroku! Ack!" Allyson said to her self. But where was Kagome? Just as this came to her mind, Kagome popped out of the dried up well.
"The nerve of that guy! Arrgh! Don't worry, Allyson" she said with a touch of annoyance, " I slapped him after you fell. Man, he does this to every young woman he sees."
A little taken back, Allyson nods but is still confused about how she got through to another era. As they walked back to the house, Kagome's mother came out to greet them.
"Allyson where have you been? We got so worried. And Kagome! You're back too!" Kagome's mom said as she rushed towards them.
"Mom", Kagome started, "she got through the well. She knows now. Don't need to hide the fact any more" Kagome's mom nodded and they went inside. Allyson and Kagome went up to the bedroom that they shared. They both plopped down on Kagome's bed.
"Um Kagome? Things are still a little unclear. What is the Shikon Jewel? And what is the old well? I feel so unsure." Allyson asked, brimming with more questions but kept them to her self. She didn't want her new friend to think that she was some silly girl who knew nothing and always asked questions.
Kagome just smiled for she remembered when she was asking these questions. "The Shikon Jewel is a jewel that gives power to demons and it shattered a couple of months ago when I pierced it with my arrow, so now me and Inuyasha gather the shards. The old well is a portal from this world to the next. Is that it" Kagome was relieved when the answer was yes. Kagome then yawned and told her new friend, "lets go to sleep...I suppose I should go to school tomorrow...Inuyasha will kill me". She changed into Pajamas and so did Allyson.
Allyson's dream:
Fog filled the air and Allyson realized that she was in a field with silver flowers but the fog mostly covered them up. In the distance she some one who looked like a feudal priestess. The figure then spoke "You are from me! You should have never met her or me. Why did you leave me and go to him! Oh I see...you have forgotten all of your past...how unhelpful. Allyson then cried out, "Who are you? Where am I? What are you talking about?". The priestess then drew her bow and shot an arrow at Allyson, " You must remember! This must bring your memories back!". The arrow struck Allyson's shoulder and she cried out in pain.
She continued to yell when she woke up for though the dream was gone, the pain was still there. "Are you alright?"asked Kagome in a worried voice. Allyson replied in a hoarse voice, "yeah just a bad dream.". Allyson trembled as she lay backdown in her sleeping bag. The pain was still there, however it now felt different, it felt familiar, like it had happened a long time ago.
"Earth to Allyson! Are you there!" Kagome was frantically trying to get Allyson's attention. Allyson barely hears her because she's thinking about her dream that she had. A voice reaches her ears and she realizes that it's Kagome. "Oh! Kagome I'm sorry...I was sorta spaced out..." Allyson sighs. Damn I can't stop thinking about that dream, she thought with frustration as she and Kagome went to English class.
"Konichiwa" Allyson said respectfully to the teacher, however she knew that the teacher could tell what "hi" meant. As she sat in her seat she picked up one of her favorite books to read since she already spoke English. I wonder how Andie is. Hmm and Haley. Haley Allysonthought with curiosity as she went over Romeo and Juliet her favorite romance story.
"Allyson these are my friends", Kagome said on the way home, "guys this is Allyson. She's staying at our shrine for the rest of the school year.". Allyson bowed to each one of them and followed quietly behind Kagome. Since the dream that morning, she had been very quiet and to her self. She didn't even notice when Hojo came and presented a foot massager to Kagome who just pretended she liked it.
"Allyson, what's up? You've been quiet the entire day" Kagome had a worried look on her face. "Its this dream I had this morning", Allyson started. When she finished, Kagome was just as quiet as Allyson was. Kagome finally said, "I don't know what it means, but I think you should come to the feudal era with me whenever I go. It might help you figure it out. I wonder what it means.". She walked to the house with Allyson following. When they got there Inuyasha was there slurping ramen.
"Kagome! Lets go! We have to chase Naraku! Plus may I remind you that its your fault that the Sacred Jewel is in pieces!", Inuyasha started at Kagome. Kagome opened her mouth, "sit!". Kagome turned to see a vexed Allyson staring Inuyasha down.
"I'm not in the mood for fighting. Sorry, I know you're used to only Kagome doing it", Allyson turned and walked off to the kitchen. Suddenly she just stopped and slowly turned around. "Can we go to the feudal era before flies start swarming your mouths?" she said sharply to cover up what she thought she felt. Kagome replied, "Yeah we'll be gone for about two weeks cause we have an exam in...let me check". She starts rummaging through her back pack and finally pulls out a calendar. "Oh no! Its math! Im gonna fail!" Kagome starts to head towards the kitchen to fill her backpack up with food. She has a sad face.
"What is that?" Inuyasha points to a wooden dragon with a tail like a handle. Allysonpicks it up and turns it over to show a brass strip that appears to be holding the handle in the dragon. She smiles slightly. "This is Galadeath. Its name means peace bringer. Heh, I've never been able to get it to cut any thing harder than wood. Not even skin", she finishes with a little bit of pride in her voice. She then turns to throw a few change of clothes, a notebook, writing utensils, and a few reading books. Her bag ends up to be much smaller than Kagome's bag.
"Is she done yet? Stupid wom..." Inuyasha decides not to finish his sentence after seeing the look on Allyson's face. Kagome comes in and they all head to the well in the mini shrine. Allyson is the first one in the well and as soon as she lands she throws her green backpack over the well and climbs up the side of the well. Suddenly, a sharp pain enters her head for a few seconds, but then its gone. As soon as its gone, Allyson, stands ready to fight looking for someone but no one is nearby except Inuyasha coming out of the well.
"Allyson! Yay! And Kagome too!" Shippo runs to Kagome who is coming out of the well. It suddenly hits Allyson that she has one last question unanswered.
"Inuyasha, earlier you said something about a Naraku. Who is he? Why do you need to get him?"she asked as Miroku came to meet them. Suddenly everything got quiet. "Naraku is a terrible demon that likes to play with people and is also colleting the Four Souls shards. He created a curse in Miroku's right hand and he turned Inuyasha and Kikyou against each other." Kagome was the only one who said anything.
Every one was quiet that night. Allyson felt as though it was her fault. She noticed that Inuyasha was extremely quiet. "Hey uh Inuyasha". Inuyasha turned to look at Allyson, "Yeah what do you want?". Allyson shifted slightly, "I'll take the first watch.". Inuyasha was slightly surprised because Kagome had never offered to take the first shift or rather for that mater any at all! It had always been him and Miroku. Before Miroku it had just been him.
"You sure?", Inuyasha asked to make sure. She nodded and started braiding her long silky black hair and then tied it off with a aquamarine ribbon and then twisted it into a bun. The stary night looked so pretty without any headlights and street lights. And the air is so fresh! She thought with excitement. To settle herself she picked up the bow that Priestess Kaede had given her. The wood was smooth and relaxing to touch. I always liked archery. I finally get to try it Allyson thought with much pleasure.
The glow of the fire seemed to dim a little as she gazed at it. Staring at it she suddenly saw a shape in the fire. It's her! It's the priestess from my dream! Allyson screamed through her mind, but I still can't see her face. But it's defiantly the same one! The figure seemed to be trying to speak a chant but just as Allyson got close enough to maybe here her, a hand griped her shoulder. "Wah! Oh sorry Miroku", for indeed it was Miroku who had startled her.
As soon as Miroku took over watch, Allyson, walked over to a empty spot and lay down on the soft grass staring at the stars. Yawn... defiantly time to sleep, she thought, but first a scene. Hmm what about Kagome drawing her bow with her back against a tree. Yeah, but she's just about to put the arrow on the bow string with a look like she's ready for action. Deciding on what she wanted, she pulled out her note pad and started to draw the tree. Miroku saw she was still up and drawing. Eventually, curiosity got the better of him as he walked over to see her drawing the tree a few feet in front of her.
"What are you drawing?" he asked filled with curiosity. Allyson smiled and continued to draw and shook her head. Miroku gave up and went back to the fire. Tired, she put her pad down and slept. She dreamed, but this time they were different.
Allyson's dream:
The priestess was now in a graveyard. She apparently didn't see Allyson this time. She checks to see if the cost is clear and then meets a male with silver hair. However the silver hair is the only thing Allyson can see of the man. The vision vanishes and clouds up to reveal a new one, one completely different. Fire is burning a village and high winds knock down houses and water is everywhere that the fire isn't. A baby is on the ground with a bluish crescent moon on its forehead. The shape begins to disappear when a woman scoops the child up and runs away from white uniformed people. The last vision appears to be nothing, but it turns out to be a desert. Suddenly a light comes right at her and strikes her shoulder, the same spot as the other dream. It struck the spot and Allyson cried out in pain.
She woke up and although she didn't cry out in pain, it still hurt. What is with these crazy dreams? Am I going crazy? Shaking her head she looked to see that the sun was rising. Oh wow, it's beautiful. She went and picked up her book to finish her drawing. Just to make it look even better, she had it so rays of sun rise came from off the page behind her.Smiling at it, she closed her book and walked over to where Inuyasha was sitting.One by one, every one started to wake up with Kagome being last. They were eating ramen noodles for breakfast, when Inuyasha suddenly perked up. "Damn that bastard!", he dropped his ramen and grabbed Allyson and Kagome out of the way of a whip of light. Putting them down he turned to face a man with long silver hair and a crescent moon on his forehead. "Sesshomaru..."
