Disclaimer:
No, unfortunately we don't own Inuyasha or any person/&/or object within the Inu world. We do own Riley and Brianna and the plot of this story. We also own the air we breathe. Please go easy on us, we were bored, and wanted a way to waste an afternoon. Personally I ladyofthepurpleworld don't care how you review us, and if you have any ideas for a better story title let us know. Thanx. not.
Chapter One: Journey Thru The Well
Riley and Brianna were enjoying their new lives in Tokyo, Japan. The two inseparable cousins both worked in an up and coming graphic design company. After a couple of years of struggling up the company ladder and the tragic loss of their guardian; the two eighteen year olds had decided to leave the depressing atmosphere of their home in California and relocate to a sister company in Tokyo. They had just finished decorating their apartment and had decided to explore the neighborhood.
"Come onnnnnnn!" shouted Riley as she ran down the street impatiently tossing her long brown hair over her shoulder.
"I'm trying! It's kinda hard to run in heels, especially since I have no balance whatsoever!" shouted Brianna back as she tried to catch up with Riley. "What's the big deal anyways?"
"There's this really neat jewelry store a few blocks away and I want to see if they have anything interesting." replied Riley as she rounded a corner.
"As long as we still go by that weird shrine that one of my friends at work told me about." said Brianna stumbling as she rounded the corner.
Feudal Era
"INUYASHA! LOOK OUT!" screamed Kagome as the bat demon, now powered by one of the Shikon jewel shards swooped in for a fatal strike.
"I see him!" shouted Inuyasha, dodging the attack, "Miroku! Sango! Now!"
Miroku and Sango rushed at the bat demon from Kirara's back.
"Kagome! Where's the jewel?" shouted Sango readying her boomerang.
"It's on his forehead!" shouted Kagome as she ran to Inuyasha.
"Got it!" yelled Sango aiming for the bat demon. "Hiraikotsu!"
As Sango's boomerang cut off the bat demons head Miroku unleashed his wind tunnel, sucking the remains into the abyss of his had.
"Great job Sango!" said Kagome smiling as she plucked the jewel from what was left of the bat demon.
"What about me!" demanded Inuyasha.
"What about you Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
"I fought that thing too! The only reason you guys defeated it was because I had worn it down!" said Inuyasha.
"Poor Inuyasha." sighed Kagome, "Can't stand it when anyone else shows you up."
"THAT'S NOT WHAT IM TRYING. . ." shouted Inuyasha.
"Show him up in what way?" interrupted Sango, "Intelligence? We got him beat."
"HEY!" yelled Inuyasha turning towards her with rage n his eyes.
"I don't know," mused Kagome, "Miroku is pretty close to his level."
"I resent that!" said Miroku.
"No! You represent that!" retorted Sango.
"Can we please just go now?" whined Inuyasha walking away.
"Yeah, I suppose." said Kagome, "Shippo and Kaede are probably beginning to worry about us."

"Oooohhhhh." sighed Brianna, "Riley come look at these over here."
Riley walked over to where Brianna was standing at the jewelry counter and held up a ring and necklace set with pink rough cut stones.
"Look at how they sparkle." said Brianna, her blue eyes shining as she stared at the jewelry.
"Wow, they're gorgeous!" exclaimed Riley admiring the necklace.
"Oh ya ya! We have special on those." said the clerk looking hopeful. "For you only twenty American dollars."
"I don't know." sighed Brianna flipping her blonde hair out of her face. "Is that for both or just the necklace?"
"I said special!" said the clerk, "Both go for twenty dollars together."
"Come on Brianna," said Riley, "We'll half the cost and I'll take the necklace because I know you've been dying for a new ring."
"Alright, I suppose I could spare that much." said Brianna pulling out a ten from her wallet. "Here you go."
"Thank you nice ladies! Come back soon." said the clerk as the girls left his shop.
"Brianna, why were griping about the price? It wasn't that bad." siad Riley as she put her necklace on.
"You should have played along too, maybe we could have got them for five apiece." said Brianna.
"How was I supposed to know that you were conniving around with the guy?" asked Riley sarcastically.
"Did you not notice the hair flick?" she replied, flicking her hair for good measure.
"Yeah, I got about half of it in the eye." replied Riley.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter anyways." said a very happy Brianna. "I absolutely love my new ring. Now can we please go to that shrine my friend, Brent you know the gay one, told me about."
"Sure." sighed Riley, "The clerk told me it was just two blocks away."

"KAGOME! I missed you." shouted Shippo as he jumped up and hugged Kagome as she entered Kaede's hut.
"I missed you too, Shippo." replied Kagome returning the kitsune's hug.
"I sure didn't." mumbled Inuyasha under his breath as he came in behind Kagome with Sango and Miroku.
"Ah, I see ye have found another jewel shard." said Kaede as she stirred the fire.
"And fought a bat demon in the process." said Miroku sitting beside Kaede.
"Kagome, you haven't been to your time in awhile. Are you planning on going back soon?" said Sango leaning back against the wall of the hut.
Unseen, Inuyasha glared silently at Sango from his position next to Kagome.
"Acutally, I was wondering about that too." said Kaede looking at Kagome.
"Oh yeah," said Kagome holding Shippo in her lap, "I forgot to tell you, there was an 'accident' at the school, involving a fire in the chemistry wing."
Kagome shot a death glare at Inuyasha, who suddenly became fascinated by the ceiling.
"Anyway," said Kagome turning back to Kaede, "It was nearly time for the holidays and I can now stay longer."
"Good, because you weren't gonna get to go back anyways, I would have made sure of that." said Inuyasha, coolly leaning back and crossing his arms.
"Oh yeah? Like you could have stopped me?" replied Kagome.
"Sure would have. You pathetic humans are easy enough to handle." stated Inuyasha arrogantly.
"SIT BOY!" shouted Kagome death rays coming from her eyes.
"Ah!" yelled Inuyasha as his face hit the floor.
"Idiot!" muttered Shippo rolling his eyes.
"And here is the Sacred Tree!" Kagome's grandfather said, "It's been around for over a thousand years."
Present Tokyo
Riley and Brianna could have cared less judging by the looks on their faces and the bit of drool sliding out of their mouths.
"Hey Grandpa!" shouted Souta from the house, "Mom needs your help with something!"
"Be there in a minute Souta!" replied his grandfather as he turnded to the two girls, "Feel free to explore the rest of the shrine while I attend to these family matters."
Waiting until the old man was out of earshot Riley turned to Brianna with murder on her mind.
"Remind me to never, ever, ever, let you drag me somewhere that one of your friends suggested." said Riley as she walked away from the 'stupid' tree.
"Okay, I admit it is really, really boring out here." replied Brianna as they headed toward the exit, "But . . . um . . . wait just a second, lets look in there, he didn't take us there."
"Fine." whined Riley as they headed towards a small building in the back of the property.
"Wow. Talk about creepy." said Brianna as she slid the door back and stepped into the dark room.
"It's more interesting than the old tree." said Riley walking down some steps. "Check this out."
Brianna and Riley leaned over a dark well not noticing the jewels in their necklace and ring glowing.
"It look like an old well." said Brianna peering down into the darkness.
"Thank you Captain Obvious," said Riley rolling her eyes, "I think I knew that already."
"Hate to fall down there." said Brainna shuddering.
Riley looked at her cousin out of the corner of her eye and grinned evilly.
"Oops!" shouted Riley shoving Brianna from behind. "My bad."
"AHHHHHHHH!" screamed Brianna as she fell into the abyss that was the well.
"BRIANNA! CRAP! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HOLDING ONTO THE EDGE BETTER!" screamed Riley jumping in after her cousin.
"I'm GOING TO KILL YOU!" yelled Brianna as they fell.
Suddenly they were enveloped in a bluish light, along with the sensation of floating to the ground. The two girls looked up towards the entrance of the well. Brianna looked over at Riley and made a death grab for her throat.
"YOU IDIOT!" shouted Brianna, "I could have died and you wouldn't have cared."
"Oh shut up and let go of me you insane person!" shouted Riley, "At least wait until we get out of here before you kill me."
"Fine, but I won't forget!" yelled Brianna, "You will die, when we get home, don't forget I do know where you sleep."
"Ooohhh, I'm so scared." said Riley grabbing a vine. "Now help me climb out of this thing."
After about an hour or two of harming each other more than helping, the two girls finally made it out of the well.
"Gah Bree!" siad Riley, "You didn't have to rip my jeans when you were using my leg as a climbing aid."
"Oh shut up!" replied Brianna, "You got dirt all over my favorite purple tank top!"
"Hey. . . wait a sec. . ." said Riley looking around, "This isn't the place we were in before."
"Where's the building, and the . . . other building, and the old guy?" said Brianna beginning to hypervenalate.
"I don't know! This is freaking me out!" said Riley.
"Can I panic now?" asked Brianna grabbing Riley in a crushing hug.
"Yeah!" said Riley hugging Brianna harder.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Inu and Gang
"What was that?" asked Inuyasha pricking up his (adorable) ears.
"Sounded like someone screaming." said Kagome standing up.
"Let's go check it out." said Sango grabbing her boomerang.
"Inuyasha, which direction did it come from?" asked Miroku climbing onto Kirara's back.
"Sounded like it came from the well." said Inuyasha lifting Kagome onto his back.
"Well, let's go!" shouted Shippo as they all ran in the direction of the well.
Yeah that's the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. DOn't care if you didn't. We plan to update regularly and hope that you review regularly. In the words of Inuyasha. . . Okay maybe not. Next time though. If you have any ideas share them cuz the plot isn't to the point of being solid yet. Changes can be made and that's all for today says my assistant Lil-Inuyasha-Moon-Princess. bye.
