Chapter Two: What Did I Do To Deserve This!
Tam was unconscious at the bottom of the well talking in her sleep until she opened her eyes to complete darkness. She didn't realize where she was so she just presumed she was in bed and had passed out dreaming about becoming a miko and not just a vision reader. She was tired of being below everyone in her family. Her oldest sibling Kai used Shikikami, her older sister Noir was a professional psychic and her younger sister could read tarot for a living, she was the only one that had her skill used as an excuse for a wild imagination with her dreams, and she was tired of it.
She reached up to grab her pillow, but in place of it was a pile of dirt, rocks and bones.
"Where am I?" She asked herself when she pulled her hand to her face to look at the earth between her fingers. "This isn't my bed…it's as hard as a rock." She gave the dirt a weird look then remembered seeing Kagome. "Where is Higurashi-sensei?" Then something clicked. "Now I remember, she pushed me in the well by accident and then I blacked out…but now where have I ended up?" She asked herself pushing her body up from the ground and brushing off the dirt.
Suddenly Tam heard footsteps and a male teenage voice talking near the top of the bone eater's well. There was also the voice of a child's and a young woman's. Their voices were depressed and they were talking like someone had died.
"Kagome-chan is gone we just have to face that…and that means you don't keep on trying the well Inuyasha!" Shouted the female to the male Tam presumed. Wait…Kagome, Inuyasha? Didn't Lady Kagome say that name when I was at the shrine? Her old boyfriend…and that new girl must be his new one, but he sounds so young…and why is he at Higurashi-sensei's Shrine! Tam thought this to herself as she continued to listen.
"Well I haven't given up; I think Kagome will come back. It's only been a month or so, she can't still be mad…after all Kikyo is dead now." The male sounded sad for a moment. Higurashi-sensei hadn't mentioned this Kikyo person, but she was supposedly dead. Maybe that was his new girlfriend not this girl that was here. If that other girl was dead then maybe this guy just sounded young.
"So I have to make it through!" Now his voice had confidence as he…jumped! Tam looked up as his figure appeared at the top of the well.
"Oh…shit." He jumped down the well and landed right beside Tam. It took all her power not to scream from shock, he should have broken his leg! Tam jumped slightly when he turned to her. In the dark she must have looked like the woman he had been talking about.
"Kagome!" He shouted and hugged Tam which caused her to blush uncontrollably as his arms reached around her form. He was the first guy to ever be that forward and not call her name! He pushed her back for a second and held her in front of him. "Wait you're not Kagome." He said looking down at her chest, Tam blushed then he picked her up like a baby in his arms. It shocked her and she screamed as he jumped out up. Tam looked towards the roof of the well.
"I'm going to die!" She cried as he jumped out of the well. She braced herself to hit the top and die in the crash but instead she opened her eyes to the night sky.
Tam stopped screaming when the moonlight hit her skin and Inuyasha thought that she was glowing when he stared at her. She turned to him. He-He's that guy in the picture! He's the one with dog ears and the red kimono. Wow. He's even more beautiful in person! She thought to herself looking at his face and yellow eyes, and then blushed for having starred at him. Who was he? Where was she? And…How did he jump a hundred feet in the air! She threw her arms around his neck afraid to fall, this time he blushed as her body was pushed against his. I don't want to die! I don't want to die! She said in her head as she felt them start falling. This is the end, I'm sorry for everything and D-chan I wish I could see you one last time.
"Hey, we're okay. I kind of can't breathe though." Tam opened her eyes but only saw white. I'm dead! The white light! The voice lied! She panicked, but then she noticed it was hair…not light. She pulled her head back and came out of the hair to the guy's face. She noticed her arms were still around his neck and his hand was unconsciously resting on her chest. She blushed and immediately jumped up and out of his arms.
"Don't try anything, buddy. I know karate!" She freaked out. "You pervert!" He was shocked by her actions but no one would ever call him a 'pervert,' that was Miroku's department not his.
"Hey! It's not my fault if I'm trying to save your life and accidentally touch you by complete accident! It's not like they're easy to miss or something either!" He yelled. Tam's mouth dropped to the floor with his remark. She brought her hand up and slapped him in the face. He turned back to her just in time for an army of insults.
"You asshole! Pervert! Bastard!" She screamed as tears flooded her eyes. The woman came over just as Tam started to cry. She was beautiful with long brown hair tied at the bottom, peach skin, brown eyes and was wearing a pink and beige kimono with a long green skirt covering the bottom half. On her back was a gigantic weapon and in her arms was a cat like thing with white and black fur.
"Inuyasha, what did you do!" She demanded walking over to Tam. The cat jumped out of her arms as she put a hand on Tam's shoulder and the other on her head. Tam looked up into the woman's face, tears running down her cheeks. "It's okay; he didn't mean to upset you. That's just how Inuyasha is. He didn't mean it"
"Sango's right, Inuyasha is just a bone headed idiot." A small child giggled as he stood by Tam's feet. He appeared to be male with short light brown hair pulled into a high ponytail, green eyes, peach skin and was wearing a fur vest, and a hatama that was made up of a pair of blue pants and a leaf patterned shirt. Tam blinked for s second as she got a look at his pointy ears. Then she remembered the boy with dog ears.
He hadn't moved from where he had put her down, and now she could see him. He was gorgeous, very long white hair with dog-ears, yellow eyes, peach skin, and was wearing a red kimono with a sword tied to his left side. He noticed her looking at him and blushed as he turned to face her.
"What is it?" He asked bluntly. She shook her head from side to side quickly.
"It's nothing, nothing at all." She covered up. Getting her mind back to her problem she stepped away from Sango and the child. "Who are you people?" She asked.
"Oh, we haven't been introduced. I'm Sango, this small guy here is Shippo, and he's Inuyasha." The cat meowed and jumped back into Sango's arms. "And this is Kirara." Sango gave the little cat a pat on the head.
"You must be one of Kagome's friends. You're from the present, right?" Shippo asked smiling on Inuyasha's shoulder. Tam turned back towards Inuyasha and focused on Shippo.
"I don't think the Higurashi-sensei is the Kagome you know." Everyone turned to her, shocked. "Did I say something bad?" Inuyasha rushed in front of her and grabbed her shoulders.
"Sensei! Kagome is in the twelfth grade!" He shouted at Tam as he shook her. "I don't want to hear any of this bullshit!" He threw Tam back. She hit the ground hard; it knocked the breath out of her. She coughed trying to breathe.
"Inuyasha!" Sango and Shippo yelled in unison.
"I can't breathe." She gasped starting to feel dizzy. I guess I am going to die…good-bye world. She was far too lost in thought that she didn't notice someone picking her up. Her train of though was broken when someone's lips touched hers. She almost freaked out until noticed she was starting to breathe again. Whoever this was they weren't being a pervert, they were trying to help her. At least that's what she thought until she felt his tongue in her mouth.
She pushed back and slapped the person. "Pervert!" She opened her eyes to see the person who kissed her. He was beautiful with short black hair, peach skin, blue eyes and was wearing a monk's clothing. Wait…a monk! A monk just came onto me…this is unbelievable.
"Miroku…" Tam looked behind her to a very angry looking Sango. He smiled slightly.
"She wasn't breathing." He tried to explain.
"You lecherous monk!" She shouted hitting him with the weapon that had been on her back. The monk flew into part of the forest. Sango stood there satisfied, and then turned to Tam. "We better get back to Lady Kaede's Village. I don't think we're all on the same page." She held out her hand for Tam. Smiling Tam took her hand and started walking towards the village leaving Inuyasha and Shippo to help Miroku.
Though Sango had been talking about straightening things out when they got back she just went out to practice instead. She told Tam to stay and go to sleep before the other's got back so she wouldn't have to deal with anything until the morning.
So, like Sango told her too, Tam laid down as soon as she left. She had a lot to go over in her mind. She still didn't know where she was. Shippo said she was from the 'present'…what did that mean? What was with that Inuyasha guy when she said Kagome was her sensei? What was with that monk? She started to cry.
"What did I do to deserve this!"
