HISHS - Meeting Inuyasha
How It Should've Started


Grunting Kagome climbed out of the well and took a deep breath to shriek at Souta. It was hardly his fault she got dragged inside the well by a woman with too many arms (and boobs), but Kagome really needed to shriek like just right now.

Her voice caught when she took a look around. Gone was the well house, along with the rest of the shrine grounds - heck, the whole Tokyo was absent! Instead the well was located in the center of a glen surrounded by forest, that could easily be a computer wallpaper.

She was on the verge of panicking, but then she spotted the crown of the Sacred Tree towering over the rest of the forest. Maybe... Maybe there was the missing shrine?

She decided to run that way without thinking too hard about the fact that even if the shrine would be found, there was a huge city that should be sprawling around her for kilometers was still missing.

As soon as she tore through the foliage on the edge of the meadow, grumbling at her scraped and scratched bare legs and cobwebs in her hair, she spotted that - sadly - the shrine was still nowhere in sight. But the Sacred Tree was there - a small source of comfort. She approached it slowly and that was when she saw him.

A boy with unnatural silver hair longer and thicker than hers, dressed in red and wrapped by vines encircling the base of the tree. He appeared to be asleep, held upright against the tree by a single arrow through his chest. She almost freaked out at that sight, but then she saw something twitching on top of his head.

White fuzzy ears stood proudly there, one of them dislodging a butterfly. So he was just asleep, not dead.

"Hey there..." she hesitantly called out, but the boy was still sleeping, his head tilted on his shoulder. Feeling bold - after all it had to be a dream, even if a quite realistic one - she walked to him and tweaked those adorable ears. They were covered with soft fur and felt so real, she stroked the edge of one, straight to the point. Then she looked at his slumbering, relaxed face.

Her hand reached down...

...Straight towards the pocket of her skirt, to pull out a small object...

"Here," she whispered, admiring the cat whiskers drawn in a pink lipstick on his cheeks.

When some time later miko Kaede went to see Inuyasha, she almost fell to the ground, laughing. She returned to her hut and the odd girl still holding her stomach and grinning.

When Inuyasha landed on the bridge, mocking the poor schoolgirl (totally oblivious to his altered looks) and reaching for the jewel rolling towards him, Kagome looked at him and...

"Here, kitty, kitty!"

...Inuyasha fell to the ground just like another one did in an alternative universe after hearing 'osuwari!'
