Chapter 2

Waking the next morning I headed down the stairs to get some breakfast. My father and brother were already awake getting ready for the day. My father was cooking dinner while my brother was getting ready to work on his car, that he's been working on for a year but he only had time to do it on the weekends since he has work and school.

"Good morning," I said as I kissed my dad on the cheek.

"Morning," he smiled at me. "I'm making omelets this morning."

"Okay, I haven't had those in a while." I smiled while sitting down at the table. "I'm gonna be going to a friends house after breakfast."

"Not a boys house right?" My brother, Castor, said.

"No," I glared at him. "And even if I was what would it matter?"

"Of course," my over protective brother yelled.

"You're too protective, but you forget that you taught me how to defend myself if someone tries to do anything bad."

He glared at me.

"C'mon give her a break," my brother Pollux argued. "We taught her well."

They gave each other a smirk before both of them hugged me.

My brothers were identical twins. They were both gemini's so my mother thought it was absolutely appropriate to name them after the gemini zodiac signs. I always make fun of them, saying that they were named after a constellation while I was named after a goddess.

My father placed our omelets on the table, and Castor rolled his eyes as he took a bite out of hit then complaining that it was hot and he burnt his tongue. I loved my brothers, even though they're always way too protective of me. I understand why, our mother had an incident a robber who stabbed her when she refused to give him her purse. Someone saw her luckily, and she was rushed to the hospital and was saved.

Ever since then my mother, up until she did die of cancer, made sure my brothers and I took self defense classes. Now, five years later, my brothers try to make sure that I'm always safe. I know I shouldn't let it get on my nerves but it does.

After breakfast I headed up stairs and took a quick shower. Once finished, I wore a black dress with thin straps and floral print on it. I slipped on a pair of red sandals to match the flowers on it. I wore my long wavy dark brown hair down. I checked into the mirror one more time before grabbing my backpack and heading out the door.

I got to Kagome's house after walking for 45 minutes, I sighed as I walked up the stairs and finally got to her front door. I knocked on it lightly, but loud enough for someone to hear.

"Good morning," a young boy answered the door. "Kagome's in her room, you can just go up there."

"Oh, thank you." I smiled at him and walked inside the house, making sure to remove my shoes before.

I said hello to everyone before heading up the stairs and to Kagome's room. Since the door was shut, I made sure to knock before entering the room and waited for her to say I can come in. She opened the door, still clad in her pajamas and rubbing her eyes.

"Oh my goodness!" Her eyes grew wide with surprise. "I overslept!"

I smiled at her, "its noon."

"I was hoping to be up by nine," she said as we walked into her room. "I stayed up all night tossing and turning."

"Oh why?" I asked her as I placed my bag on the floor and sat down on the floor.

She began rummaging through her drawers looking for something to wear. "I don't know, maybe I'm worried about failing the test."

"Are you kidding?" I looked at her. "You go missing school for weeks and then you come back and get one of the top three scores. I can't think of a time where you weren't on the top of the class."

She smiled at me, "I'll be right back I'm gonna change."

She left the room and I began to take out all my notebooks and my laptop, I hooked up my drawing tablet and opened it up to the drawing of that strange man from my dreams. I focused detail onto his eyes, they were a beautiful golden color and when he looked at me they were filled with warmth and love.

I wish he were real, I thought while coloring in the strange markings on his face.

I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard a knocking sound. I got up, expecting someone to be at Kagome's door but when I opened it no one was there.

I heard the knocking sound again and then the sound of the window opening, I turned around and saw a boy clad in all red with silver hair.

"Who the hell are you?" He said staring at me. "Wheres Kagome?"

Completely bewildered I just pointed my finger to the door and said, "bathroom."

I noticed he had a pair of dog ears on top of his head and I just stared at him for a moment. "You must be cosplaying," I concluded. "That's why you're dressed like that, right?"

He shot me a dirty look and said, "I don't know what the hell you're talking about, I just need to get to Kagome."

He began to walk around the room and stare at my laptop, when he looked at the screen he froze and his eyes grew wide and his ears twitched. "Why are you drawing—"

"InuYasha!" Kagome screamed as she opened the door, cutting him off. "What are you doing here?"

"We have to get back, Naraku—"

"Look InuYasha, I already told you I can't come back till I finish taking my test on Monday."

"Go back where?" I chimed in.

"To the, uh, hospital." Kagome stuttered. "They only let me come home for a few days to take the test."

"Wouldn't they just let you take the test there at the hospital?" I raised an eyebrow. "Plus, I thought you said you were better?"

"I don't know what this hospital is, but Kagome there isn't any time for this testing thing you have to do." InuYasha yelled.

I sat there listening to them argue for a few minutes. Then I finally said, "Aha! You're her boyfriend!"

They looked at me as if they were about to faint, and yelled in unison how they weren't each others boyfriend or girlfriend. I burst out laughing at the way their faces turned bright red, and how they immediately stopped fighting after that.

"Who are you anyway?" InuYasha asked me.

"My name is Athena," I smiled.

"What a weird name," he muttered, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Says you!" I yelled. "You're name means half dog, while my name is after the goddess of war." I stuck my tongue out at him.

"I ain't ever heard of that goddess," he replied.

"Well, it's because its Greek," I said.

"Whatever, point is Kagome we seriously have to go."

I stared at the boy for a moment and the longer I stared at him, the more I doubted he was cosplaying. As crazy as it sounds, I was starting to think that maybe the ears on top of his head were real his name was after all InuYasha. Without thinking it through I walked toward the boy and reached my hands out to touch his ears. As soon as I felt them move.

"Okay, either your cosplay is super amazing or those ears are real." I said, still touching them.

Kagome began to laugh nervously, "it's his cosplay—yup, he's a really good cosplayer. He's like the best at cosplaying."

"You okay there Kags?" I asked her, smiling slightly at her nervous behavior.

She laughed nervously, not really knowing what else to say. "Inuyasha, hallway now!" Kagome grabbed onto the boy and pulled him out the door slamming it behind her.

I laughed lightly, this is going to be interesting.

I walked closer to the door to see if I could hear what they were talking about, it didn't take long before they started yelling about Feudal Era Japan, someone named Naraku, the well on Kagomes house, and InuYasha's brother.

I opened the door, "you know if you're going to talk in secret, I suggested going somewhere where no one will hear you two yelling."

Kagome blushed lightly, and I walked into the hallway.

"I know you two were supposed to do that studying thing, but Kagome is going to have to come back later to make up her test thing."

"Why?"

"I have something important to take care of."

I looked between the two of them, something big was definitely going on. I grabbed my bag, packed up my stuff, and put it on my shoulders ready to go home, slightly disappointed that I wouldn't be able to help Kagome today. I looked at InuYasha, who's ears twitched. He had silver hair and golden eyes, similar to the man that I drew but not exactly. If this boy isn't a cosplayer, could he be related to that man?

"You're not really a cosplayer, are you?" I directed my question to InuYasha. "Explain."

InuYasha looked at me and then at Kagome, "look, we really gotta get to the well. I'll explain another time."

Kagome's eyes grew wide at the mention of the well, and before she could say anything I darted down the stairs. I could hear them running after me, and by the time I made it outside to the well house, InuYasha was already at the outside of the door.

"Move," I demanded. "Why are you guarding a simple well?"

Kagome caught up and told him it was okay for him to move, that I would've found out sooner or later.

As soon as he moved out of the way of the well house doors, and Kagome opened the doors. I could hear whispers screaming my name, nearly making my head spin.

I followed them down the stairs and I could hear the words "Jump Athena, jump."

I shivered at the thought of jumping, I would end up with broken bones or dead if I jumped down the well. Why would it want me to jump into the well?

"Explain, please." I pleaded with Kagome. "I can hear the well calling my name."

"You can?" She placed her hand on my shoulder. "Explaining would take a lot of time, let me show you."

She walked passed me and got up on the lip of the well, this girl is crazy. I thought as she motioned for me to join her on the well.

InuYasha, didn't hesitate before running and jumping into the well. I let out a gasp as a blueish light glowed and then he was gone.

"What the fuck is going on?" I yelled, completely losing it.

"It'll be okay," Kagome said as she motioned for me to come on there again.

I hesitated, but walked climbed onto the lip of the well and before I knew it. I was falling.

It was dark, and I could feel myself floating. My first thought was that I listened to the crazy people and died, but when I saw Kagome motion for me to follow her through this place…I realized I wasn't dead.

Before I knew it, I softly landed onto the bottom of the well. The sun was shining high above me, the sky was a brilliant blue, and I could hear the birds chirping. I was not in the well house anymore.

I adjusted my backpack and was slightly surprised I still had it on my back.

We climbed up the vines to get out of the well, it was a little hard and I almost fell a few times. InuYasha offered to carry me, but I insisted on climbing out of it myself.

When we got to the top, there was some people waiting for us.

There was a man who had his black hair tied in a small ponytail on the back of his neck, dark blue eyes and wears golden earrings. He was clad in extravagant purple robes.

The woman was probably no older than me, she had long brown hair that was tied at the ends. She wore a pink and green kimono, and had a giant boomerang strapped to her back.

In her arms, was a little kid. He jumped from the woman arms to Kagome's excitedly and I noticed her had brown-auburn hair, green eyes, and a cream-colored, fluffy tail. He's blue pants, a turquoise shirt patterned with leaves, and a tan vest with a thin black belt.

The all greeted Kagome, with welcome backs and that they missed her. Then, they ruined their direction towards me. I looked at them for a moment before smiling and saying, "Hi, my names Athena. I'm one of Kagome's friends from, uh, school."

They all looked at Kagome who confirmed that that's who I was and then they greeted me happily.

The little kid, who was in Kagome's arms jumped down and walked over to me. "My names Shippo!"

"You have a tail," was all I managed to say.

"Yup, that's right. I'm a fox demon."

The woman came up to me, hugging me. "It's so nice to meet someone from Kagome's time. My name is Sango." She smiled warmly at me.

The man, whom I assumed was a monk, suddenly grabbed me by my hands. "Athena is a lovely name, I've never heard a name so unique. Although, it suits such a beautiful woman such as yourself. I don't usually say this but, would you do me the honor of bearing me my children."

I, completely flabbergasted, just opened and closed my mouth like a fish looking for the right thing to say.

"I see, I have left you speechless." He smiled seductively at me, and tried to pull me closer to him.

"Yeah," I finally managed to say. "I'm wonder how someone can be so, uh, desperate."

He stepped away from me, his whole world crushed it seemed like.

I turned to Kagome, "alright so where are we. I don't get this at all. Demons, the well, explain what I don't get."

"Well, the well took us 500 years in the past."

"I must be dreaming."

"Cut the chit-chat!" InuYasha hollered. "We gotta go!" He yelled at us.

I watched as a two tailed cat, suddenly grew from a kitten to bigger than a tiger. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo climbed on and they motioned for me to get on too. I hesitated a moment before climbing onto the large cat. Kagome climbed onto InuYasha's back and before I knew it we were off.

Within moments we ended up to a clearing where there a was someone—or something—clad in a monkey cloak. We landed and he grew tentacle like arms, attacking us.

"What the fuck?" I screamed, realizing I couldn't even do anything to fight this creature, not that I could even if I did have a weapon. I sat behind a tree with Shippo, avoiding the danger.

"They're replicas of a demon Naraku," Shippo began to explain. "They've been popping up all over, and we can't figure out if he's luring us away or to him."

"Why are you fighting him?" I asked.

"He's our enemy. He killed InuYasha's first love Kikyo. Cursed Miroku with the wind tunnel in his hand, and he has Sango's brother. Kagome is the protector of this magical jewel that he stole from her, she shattered it into a million pieces, and he has almost all of them."

"That's insane," was all I could say. I peered over to the battle, and I saw another man with silver hair gracefully land beside the group. He began to help destroy the demon. Within moments he was dead.

The man turned to face the group.

I screamed, loudly. I screamed so loud, that everyone turned their direction towards me. I stood there, eyes grown wide. There's no fucking way that he is actually here.

I did the first thing, I thought of. I smacked myself in the face, trying to wake myself up from this vivid dream, but it didn't work.

He appeared before me and I froze, "stop your screaming human."

"You're not really here," I said and reached my hands out to touch him. As soon as my hands came in contact with him, they began to burn and I saw his claws had scratched me, poison dripping from them.

"Don't touch me." He said simply.

I could feel myself begin to grow dizzy, I fainted.
