Chapter One

It has been one year since Kagome Higurashi fell down the well. Now it is 1998 and this story starts out with a young girl living in America who travels to Japan. Her greatest goal and dream is to learn a different language and to see the different cultures that are in the world. Little did she know, her experiences would expand beyond Tokyo, and even the year 1998.

JoAnna is a 17 year-old American girl currently attending High School in Weston, USA. Over the past year and a half JoAnna has been pen pals with a girl in Tokyo, Japan. 17 year-old Kohashi . Come morning JoAnna will be leaving for Japan to attend school for a year as an exchange student.

After two and a half days of traveling JoAnna was glad to land in Tokyo. Kohashi arrived with her parents, Miyoko and Yasuo, to pick JoAnna up. Finally meeting face to face JoAnna and Kohashi smiled and gave each other a big hug. Yasuo picked up JoAnna's suitcases and carried them to the car while JoAnna and Kohashi walked arm in arm to the car with Kohashi's mother. As they drove home Kohashi pointed out various sites and buildings and explained them to JoAnna. Stopping in front of a two-story house in down-town Tokyo, Kohashi took JoAnna up to their rooms and showed her around the house.

After dinner that night JoAnna turned to Miyoko and asked if she could watch her favorite anime, InuYasha. Miyoko nodded, "All right. Then as soon as it's over, it's straight to bed. Tomorrow's your first day of school and it's going to be very busy."

After InuYasha was over JoAnna walked sleepily up to her room and fell fast asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

JoAnna looked around at her surroundings. She was puzzled as she recognized it as the forest around the Bone-Eaters Well. Walking around JoAnna noticed a very tall tree, "That's the Tree of Ages" she murmured to herself. As she approached the tree she saw a man standing by it. From a side view she could see it was her favorite character from InuYasha, Sesshomaru. JoAnna stopped and watched Sesshomaru a while, wondering why she was seeing him there. Something fluttered in the bushes and she turned to see. Nothing was there. Turning back she saw Sesshomaru was gone. Not realizing she was dreaming JoAnna again reminded herself that it was impossible for him to be there. He was just a character in a TV show. JoAnna decided to walk farther, looking for an end to the forest. As she comes into a clearing she sees a village, curious she heads towards it. As she walked through the town, all the villagers stopped and stared at her, some with fear; others with hate. Suddenly the men started throwing rocks and other hard objects, yelling "DEMON!" JoAnna stared at them in shock before running out of the village. What JoAnna didn't realize was that while she dreamt, she was a beautiful full demon named Kira.

On the outskirts of this villages there is a high hill. On top of that high hill is a large castle. This castle is the home of the Great Dog Demon Lord Sesshomaru, along with his consent companions: the little orphan Rin, the strange Imp Jaken, and the two-headed dragon Ah-Un.

The next morning JoAnna woke up and got ready for school. She quickly headed downstairs for breakfast, saying good morning as she walked into the kitchen. After JoAnna and Kohashi ate their breakfast they walked to school. But all through the day JoAnna couldn't concentrate on what she was doing. All she could think about was her dream. She couldn't understand why she was having it, or what it meant. That night after the family ate dinner, JoAnna watched InuYasha and then went up to bed and quickly fell asleep.

Again JoAnna dreams she is in Feudal Japan, near the Tree of Ages. She sat near the tree, surrounded by blue, white and lavender flowers and decided to pick some. While she was picking the flowers she didn't hear Sesshomaru walk towards her, closely followed by his servant Jaken. Sesshomaru stopped next to her and plainly asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the forest by yourself?" Kira didn't looked up right away or answer him. Instead she just continued to pick the flowers. Suddenly a large flying demon came storming towards Sesshomaru and Kira. It had three eyes and a dragon head and human like arms. He turned to Kira. Kira looked up and saw the demon's eyes focused on her; she tried to move but found herself frozen. Sesshomaru was still standing a few yards away, too far to protect her. The demon advanced on Kira, his third eye glowing as a bolt of lightning shot towards Kira. Sesshomaru zipped over to counter attack but was too late. The lightning made a large whole in the ground next to where Kira had been sitting. Kira had been thrown through the air and hit the tree, knocking her out cold. She never saw the face of the man who tired to save her. Sesshomaru quickly put his left and only arm up across his chest, two fingers in a "V" and then sliced the demon in one quick slash with his Energy Whip. The demon fell down to the ground in two pieces. Sesshomaru turned and checked on Kira, who was badly wounded and unconscious. He picked her up and walked back to his castle. Once in the castle Sesshomaru laid Kira down on a bed in one of the bedrooms. Without looking at Jaken Sesshomaru ordered him to find the herbs that were need to heal Kira. As well as food and water. Jaken bowed before leaving, "Yes, M'Lord"

As soon as Jaken returned with the herbs and fruit from the village Sesshomaru started treating Kira's injuries. She had a lump on the back of her head, along with a broken arm and a few cracked ribs. Two hours later Kira woke up to see Sesshomaru standing next to her bed, watching her with an emotionless face. "How are you feeling?" he asked coolly. Kira sat up slowly, "I-I don't know. I think so." Sesshomaru nodded, "Fine. Now, tell me who you are." Kira looked up at him, "My name is…" she stopped. Then she looked confused. "I don't know." When Kira was knocked out, she lost some of her memory. She could not remember who she was. As Kira Feudal Era or as JoAnna in Present Day Japan.

JoAnna woke up to her alarm. She got up and got dressed for school. Walking downstairs she walked into the dinning room and greeted everyone. After breakfast JoAnna and Kohashi left the house and made their way to school and their first class of science. All through-out their science class JoAnna couldn't concentrate on her assignment. Suddenly she got a major headache and almost fell out of her seat. The teacher noticed JoAnna wasn't working and looked very pale. She walked over and placed a hand on JoAnna's shoulder, "Are you feeling alright JoAnna?" JoAnna shook her head, "No, I have a really bad headache." The teacher turned to Kohashi, "Kohashi, will you please take JoAnna to the nurse's office." JoAnna and Kohashi walked down to the nurse's office and once there JoAnna explained to the nurse how she was feeling. "Well it all started just as class began. I started to get a headache and while I was trying to work on my assignment it stared to get worse." The nurse nods thoughtfully, "I see. I'll check your head for any concussions." While checking the back of JoAnna's head, she notices a large black and blue bruise, as big as a fist as the base of her neck. The nurse frowned, "Where did you get that bruise JoAnna?" JoAnna gently touched the back of her neck and winced, "I-I don't know" she replied. The nurse decided it was better that Kohashi take JoAnna home and have her rest.She sent a note to their teacher excusing Kohashi and JoAnna from school for the rest of the day. Kohashi called her parents and asked them to come get them. Once home JoAnna went up to her room and laid down to rest a little. Kohashi came upstairs to wake her for dinner. They both made their way downstairs to the dinning room table and ate their supper. Afterwards, while JoAnna watched InuYasha, Kohashi sat in a chair and read her book. As soon as JoAnna's show was over they both headed upstairs to bed and fell fast asleep.

Again JoAnna dreams of Sesshomaru and the beautiful demon Kira. Sesshomaru allowed Kira to stay at his castle until she could remember who she was and where she was from.

The next day Sesshomaru and Jaken took Kira to the old Bone-Eater's Well where they first met her. They wanted to see if she could remember anything. Once they arrived at the well and the tree Sesshomaru and Jaken watch as Kira sit in the same spot she was found, among the flowers. Again Kira begins to pick them. As she reached for another flower all of her memories came flooding back, of who she was and what she was doing at the tree. Suddenly all of her strength left her and she could no longer sit up. Sesshomaru noticed she laid down and walked over to see what was wrong. He knelt down and cradled her in his arm, "What happened?" he softly questioned. Kira turned her head so she was facing him, "I remember." "Everything?" Kira nodded, "Yes. My name is Kira. I am a full demon and I came to Japan in search of the Shikon Jewel." Sesshomaru began to think of all the times he had talked with Kira, and she seemed like she wasn't all together. Like a part of her was missing, as if her soul was split in two and half of her soul was in a different dimension; if that was even possible. Sesshomaru then had a thought, on how he could find out if his theory was true or not. Kira's second half of her soul was JoAnna. In JoAnna's dream world of present time Tokyo, she dreams of a life as a demon and meeting her favorite character Sesshomaru. But this dream world is no dream, but her real life. Sesshomaru asked softly, "Kira, would you like to meet me tomorrow at the Higurashi shrine?" Kira nodded. Sesshomaru quickly explained what she needed to do. "Go to the Higurashi shrine and once there ask a monk where the Tree of Ages is. I'll meet you there." Before JoAnna awoke, she made a wish in her sleep. "I wish I could meet and visit Sesshomaru."
