Scene One
Time: Feudal Japan. The Warring States Era
Setting: The Bone Eaters Well
It is morning. You can hear birdsong, and sounds from the village below. Miroku, the lecherous monk, sits on a soft patch of earth with his staff lying on the ground in front of him. Standing nearby is Shippou, the orphaned Kitsune. He paces back and forth in front of Miroku. Kagome's Bike is parked next to them.
Shippou: Shouldn't Kagome be back by now?
Miroku: Patience Shippou. It's early still.
A flash from the well
A voice from the well: Hey! Is anybody up there?
Miroku: (to Shippou.) Here she is.
They walk to the well.
Shippou: Hey Kagome, come on up, we've been waiting for you.
The Voice: What? I fell when i landed, and my leg is stuck under some...EEEk (she screams) there bones! Oh Gross!
Miroku: Hold on, Kagome we'll help you.
The Voice: It's not Kagome, its Kiki. Hurry its really stuck!
Miroku & Shippou: Who?
Kiki: Come on guys! Stop screwing around! I can't get my foot unstuck without some help!
Miroku: Who are you?
Kiki: What!...Miroku, it's me Kiki! Come and help me!
Miroku and Shippou exchange a confused look.
Kiki: COME ON! What are you waiting for? My dad is gonna kill me if I'm late again!
Miroku: (Quietly to Shippou.) You had better go get InuYasha, this could be a trap. He should still be up in the Goshinboku.
Shippou: Right.
Shippou runs off in search of InuYasha.
Kiki: Miroku-Sama! Are you coming or not? I'm starting to get kinda pissed.
Miroku: Hold on I'm coming right down.
Miroku climbs down the rope ladder down to the bottom of the well. There at the bottom he sees a young girl sitting on the ground, pulling at her leg. It is pretty dark down here so he cant really make out her features, but she looks a lot like Kagome.
Kiki: Kami! Finally! What took you so long Miroku?
He looks at her with a perplexed expression.
Miroku: Do I know you?
Kiki: WHAT! Miroku, it's me...you know, Kiki. (Exasperated) Uh...I've only known you for my whole life. What's wrong with you? Are you drunk...?
Miroku: (Thoughtfully) No, not drunk. Just...confused. Perhaps if I bring you up to the light I will recognize you.
He reaches down to help free Kiki from her ensnarement, and as he does so rubs a hand along her butt. She slaps him across the face with much more force than he thought possible from a girl her size.
Kiki: Miroku! You Letch! What would Sango say about this!
He looks at her sheepishly as a blush covers his nose and cheeks. They begin to ascend the ladder when Kiki slips due to her bad foot and crashes to the bottom of the well. The blue light of the time-slip did not welcome her as she expected.
Miroku: Kiki, are you alright.
Kiki: Yeah, but the time-slip should have opened up again when I fell. Shit! What if I'm stuck here? Stay there, I'm gonna try again.
Miroku: Watch your foot now. It looks like you have really injured yourself.
Kiki: Keh! I'll try to keep that in mind.
She carefully climbs a few rungs of the ladder, making sure not to put any pressure on her bad ankle. She makes to hop down, and as before, the time-slip does not heed her call.
Kiki: Well, it looks like I'm stuck here.
With that said she followed Miroku up the well to the surface.
