June 17,
It's my first day in my new house. It was so cool to be living here! I have looked at the shrine. It is dedicated to someone who is our ancestor, a priestess called Kikyo. I was so interested in it all! I found a book about her, with pictures and all. Her story is sad. She was a priestess who was in charge of protecting the Sacred Jewel, the Shikon no Tama. While she was protecting it, she fell in love with a half- demon named Inu Yasha. He agreed to use the jewel to because human. When she went give him the jewel, he gave her a fatal wound. She pinned him to a tree before she died. I learned that the tree he was pinned to is nearby. The property belongs to a girl who goes to my summer school. I'm only there to see where they are in the curriculum. My mother was being weird and called the house and asked Kagome, the girl in my summer school's, mother if I could visit the tree. I'm going to go today. I'm going to bring you with me, so I can write while sitting under tree. Okay, I'll write once I get to the tree.
Sincerely,
Kameko Narahashi

I'm here under the sacred tree. It's so beautiful. The shade is in my face, keeping the sun's glare from my eyes. There's even a little bench! It's so peaceful. I was hoping to see Kagome, but when I got here, her mother told me she was with some friends. Oh well, I can just sit here and enjoy the shade. The fresh air is wonderful. I can't believe there's such a nice place so near my house!
But the tree is starting to get a little boring. I think there's a shrine near here somewhere. It's such a nice little shrine. There is even a little well here! Oops, I hear footsteps. I don't think I'm supposed to be in here. I'll have to go into the well to hide. I really don't want to be caught. I don't want to be in trouble. I just got here! I'm going to hide in the well.
The jump down the well was so strange. There was a bright light and it was such a long fall, compared to what I thought it would be. Ow! I think I might have hurt my ankle. I'll just sit here for a while. Wait, there's sunlight. But the well was in a shrine. In a well house. This is definitely getting weird. Oh, what am I going to do? I'm stuck down here and I'm all confused. What's going on here?
Oh! I think I hear voices. I can just make out what there saying... "Kagome, why are you going back to your world?! Are these tests that important?!?"
Kagome? That's the girl in my summer school... "Oh, come on Inu Yasha! It's just for three days! It's really no big deal."
Inu Yasha? But that's the name of the half-demon that killed Kikyo! Could it possibly be the same person? Of course not! He was pinned to the tree by Kikyo. And besides, he was alive during the Warring States Era. This isn't that time. It's the present day, it's the year 2000, not 15 whatever, or was it before even that? I don't know, but it definitely isn't now! Ah! The voices are coming even closer! I have to think of something quickly! I better stop writing. I'll tell you what happened later! Bye!!!!!
