Okay...this is my first attempt at an InuYasha fanfic, so please take care and don't injure me with your harsh flames. I don't own InuYasha...but if I did I would have Sesshomaru and Miroku all to myself. Alas, it wasn't meant to be...now on with the show.

InuYasha looked out into the forest. Kagome walked up behind him from the well.

"Naraku," he said clearly. Sango, Miroku, and Kirara jumped into battle mode. Shippo jumped up onto Kagome's shoulder.

Sure enough, Naraku walked out of the woods and into the clearing. He wasn't dressed in his usual attire; today he was dressed as a lord with some armor.

Standing next to him, bow in hand, was Kikyo. Kagura and Kanna stood off to the side and Kohaku approached from behind them. InuYasha and the others were surrounded.

No one moved. The only sound heard was Naraku's laughter.

"Leave the monk to me," he said.

Kohaku moved in to attack his sister, Sango, who was doing her best not to kill her dear brother. Kagura moved to InuYasha and started throwing out wind attacks. Kikyo shot an arrow at Kagome, who easily dodged it. Kanna remained motionless.

Miroku moved towards Naraku, wary of the situation. "I've been watching you monk," Naraku said with a smile. Miroku stopped moving. "You seem very happy with the demon exterminator."

Miroku's eyes narrowed. What was Naraku getting at?

"Too bad you don't really love her."

Miroku was confused now, and angry. "What the hell are you talking about Naraku?"

Naraku continued smiling as he raised his right hand. In it was the nearly completed Shikon jewel. He looked toward the well.

"Let's see if you can handle this."

The well began to glow a blood red color. Miroku kept one eye on the well and the other on Naraku.

Just what was this bastard planning?

Meanwhile:

"Nadia, wait up…" Shanelle yelled running to catch up with her friend.

Nadia sighed and stopped. Her short blonde hair was spiked up in a punk-rock look that was blowing in the slight breeze. Her blue bikini top could be seen through the white button-up top she wore. Her white shorts stopped mid-thigh showing off her long finely toned legs. Her blue eyes shined with joy and happiness. Around her neck was a small necklace, the only piece of jewelry she wore, with a small pink jewel on it.

"Come on slow poke. I though band students were supposed to be in good shape," Nadia yelled.

Shanelle hobbled up the hill to where Nadia was standing. She leaned against a tree, struggling to catch her breath. Her long, dirty blonde hair was falling by her round face, and her glasses were sliding down her nose. Her Weatherson High Band t-shirt was drenched in sweat. Her knee-length blue jean shorts hung loosely off her hips.

Shanelle lifted her foot and slipped off a flip-flop before tossing it at Nadia. Nadia caught it and smiled at her oldest friend.

"We are…in good shape…but we…usually…walk on…flat…ground," Shanelle said in between breaths.

Nadia laughed before carrying Shanelle's flip-flop over to her. "Don't worry Shae, we're almost there."

Nadia stated back up the path, followed by Shanelle. "What are we looking for exactly?"

"I hear that there is a haunted cabin up here where a mass murderer lived before he eventually killed himself."

Shanelle sighed. "That is why we came camping with your brother and his friends? To find some haunted cabin?"

Nadia stopped and looked back at Shanelle with a smirk. "Of course."

Shanelle caught up with Nadia and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You have a crazy obsession with mass murderers, and you need to stop."

"Don't be such a wuss," Nadia said taking a few more steps up the hill. "Besides, I doubt he'll do anything to hurt us. He's just a ghost."

Shanelle sighed and headed after her friend.

When they finally reached the top, to Shanelle's relief, there was nothing but a small well.

"What a load of shit," Nadia said approaching the well. Shanelle walked over with her slowly, still tired from the climb.

"How strange," Shanelle said quietly. "Why is there a well in such an isolated place?"

"Maybe it's like Jack and Jill. They had to go up the hill to fetch a pail of water."

Shanelle glared at her friend. "Not funny, and besides look at what happened to them."

Nadia and Shanelle looked down into the well, into the darkness.

"I don't think there is anything down there," Shanelle said. Nadia sighed.

"I knew it was too good to be true," Nadia said leaning against the well. Her eyes moved across the open area. The view was nice from here, showing off the other mountainous regions in the distance.

"Let's head back," Shanelle said heading back towards the path from where they had come from.

Nadia sighed and closed her eyes. The warm air around her blew gently against her, making her feel at peace.

Shanelle turned back to yell at Nadia to get a move on when she saw it, the blood red light coming out of the well.

"Nadia! Look Out!" Shanelle yelled running toward the well.

It all happened so fast. Nadia looked over her shoulder, her eyes widened in shock, when she lost her balance and fell into the blood red light of the well.

"Shanelle!" Nadia screamed before disappearing into the well. The light was gone when Shanelle reached the well. She looked down into the darkness, calling her friend's name, but the only sound she heard was her voice echoing back.

Back in the Feudal Era:

The Bone-Eater's well continued to glow blood red, catching the attention of everyone in the clearing. The partially completed jewel in Naraku's hand suddenly looked covered in blood.

A scream erupted from the well, followed by a young girl with short blonde hair being lifted out of it. While the girl's blonde hair was a surprise, it was nothing to the lack of clothes she was wearing.

She flew over to Naraku. He wrapped his left arm around her waist, pressing her back against his body. He grabbed her right wrist with his right hand, pressing the blood covered Shikon jewel against her wrist.

All battles around the well had stopped. Kikyo, Kohaku, and Kagura disappeared from the scene. Kanna stood nearby keeping an eye on Naraku and what was going on.

Miroku looked at the girl in Naraku's arms. She was struggling against him trying to escape. It seemed she was more angry than afraid, but that could have been his imagination. Naraku's poisonous insects waited behind Naraku, making it impossible for Miroku to use his wind tunnel, plus the girl was still in the way.

Naraku lifted the girl's right hand and forced her palm open. He pointed the girl's palm at Miroku.

"Tired of being alone with your little curse monk?" Miroku's eyes widened. 'He wouldn't.'

"I know you long for my death so you can be free from your curse. So, you won't have to die alone."

'He couldn't.'

The girl started to scream in pain as her hand began to glow red.

"Don't worry about that," Naraku said moving the girl's palm to slightly right of Miroku's position, where Sango was. "You won't have to suffer alone anymore."

'He would.' "Sango, run."

The wind suddenly picked up quite violently. It was like Miroku's wind tunnel, only stronger. The girl screamed again as the red light began to concentrate on her palm before disappearing completely, leaving a dark void in her hand. Sango was being pulled toward the girl's wind tunnel.

Naraku laughed at the distress in the monk's eyes.

InuYasha took Naraku's distraction as a chance and attacked. The girl was pushed forward as InuYasha slashed at Naraku with his claws. Miroku looked over at the girl when Sango was safely out of danger. She was struggling with the wind tunnel. Miroku rushed over to the girl while adjusting the beads around his wrist.

He reached the girl, who was trying to close her hand, and quickly wrapped the beads around her hand, crossing over the wind tunnel in her hand. The wind stopped as quickly as it started.

The girl grabbed the front of Miroku's outer robes and looked into his violet eyes with her blue anger filled ones.

"What the hell is going on?"

Miroku looked down at the girl glaring at him with fire in her eyes. She was beautiful, even though she was angry.

Nadia wasn't angry; she was pissed.

First, she is disappointed because instead of a haunted cabin there is a dinky well, then she is pulled through said well into some other world, then some strange guy holds her against his body while doing something extremely painful to her right hand.

The only good thing that had happened today was this gorgeous violet-eyed man stopping the crazy void thing in her hand from sucking up everything.

"What the hell is going on," Nadia said. "Where am I?"

"Damn that Naraku," InuYasha yelled. Miroku looked up from the girl to the hanyou across the clearing. "Miroku, what happened?"

Everyone came rushing over to Miroku and the strange girl clinging to him.

Nadia looked around at the people around her. There was a girl with long black hair pulled back into a tight ponytail in a red and black skintight outfit and a giant boomerang on her back. The guy with the gorgeous eyes that she was currently clinging to was wearing a black and purple outfit, with a matching purple glove around his right hand and beads around his hand. He was holding a gold staff in his left hand and his hair was pulled back into a small ponytail, with some of it hanging over his eyes.

There were some other members of the group. One was a girl dressed in a white shirt, with a red necktie, and a green skirt. She had long black hair and was carrying a bow and arrow. There was a large cat with two tails that suddenly burst into flames and became a smaller cat with two tails. With wide eyes, Nadia looked at the small red-tailed creature with a blue-green bow in its red hair. Behind the small person with the bow was the last member of the group.

He had long silver hair and bright golden eyes. He was wearing a red outfit without shoes and looked fairly human, except for the two small dog ears on his head.

Nadia stood, causing Miroku to stand as well, and stared at the man's doggy ears. Finally he became annoyed.

"What are you looking at?"

Nadia jumped slightly and tried to hide from the strange "dog man" behind Miroku.

Suddenly Kagome spoke.

"I sense a jewel shard."
