She finds a match and goes to her own shrine for a summer festival she begins feel like she it hitting it off and they sneak into the well house by accident and begin kissing he goes for more push in the process is pushed Kagome against the well and the two fail inside.

Kagome goes into a tear in the timeline while the man goes to the feudal era with inuyasha.

Resting my head on my open palm I let out a sigh. Seven hours and not a single customer. Guess I can play on my phone for a bit then. Looking around I confirmed my solitude and then quickly set my phone on the counter in front of me. About twenty minutes of matching colorful block with colorful block I got a new notification. Tapping the notification my screen turned pink and red heart raced across the entire surface before swirling around and collecting in one spot. Forming a giant heart the red organ flipped over revealing a handsome picture a 'Match.' Curious I tapped on the picture and revealed a larger image of the man. He had dark green eyes, sandy brown hair, tan skin kissed by the sun, and he struck a confident pose with a bright smile. Luca Rosso? 28. Studied abroad and now lives permanently in Japan as a skilled pastry chef. Longest relationship two years, and he is only looking for a causal relationship. Translation friend with benefits which may or may not be exclusive. Left swipe! After a quick check of my surrounds I sighed, Guess I've got nothing better to do. The soap is stocked and displayed beautifully, I made new bright signs and have my sales pitches down. My uniform is completely perfect a clean white button up shirt, a dark green apron, tan capris and a cute name tag.

The next profile made my wife and alert gaze vanish it was instantly replaced with lazy eyelid stare and my lips became pursed. Masaki Okada? REALLY! What a huge LIE! Someone honestly stole his photo and used it for their profile? What name are they using? Se Jun… Left swipe! The next one appeared and I cringed. Yasu Yamamoto, 68.

Only speaks Spanish. Enjoys playing music and hopes to be rockstar, looking for something casual while his two years stay in Japan. Geez he must have heard the song 'Talk dirty to me', way too much. Because I don't understand his logic! Left swipe! Locking my phone I shoved it to the side What a waste of time. I sat there for a few seconds watching the store window, person after person walked by. First a child walking a dog, then a cute couple rolling a stroller and then a elderly man with who I was assuming his young grandson or great grandson.

~Buzz~

Damn phone! I'll have to install this app. Unlocking my phone I couldn't help but notice what caused the beep, another notification. The same as before hearts and the promise of a match! Bet it's not! I thought in a very sarcastic voice. I stared at the image and couldn't help but blush. I quickly began to read his profile, Okay so he's hot. Then what is the reason he is single?

Haruto Sano

Age: 23

Status: Single

Interested in: Women

Biography: Hello my name is Haruto, I go by Haru. I live in Japan and am also currently enrolled in online university, I spend my days writing, exploring japan and street performing. I understand Japanese, English, sign language and read lips. I have dated in the past but it has never resulted into anything serious, now that I have my life on track I would like to find the one. The one to join me and be my travel partner around the world.

Wow. He sounds amazing.

Nervously I sent him a simple message "Hi, my name is Kagome Higurashi."

It wasn't long I received a message back "Higurashi as in Higurashi Shrine?"

"Yes," I admitted embarrassed and a bit fearful.

"Wow. That's cool! You guys are having a Tanabata festival soon, right?"

"We are were you planning on attending?" I am asking him out?! I don't know! What's happening?! Oh he's typing!

"I was thinking about it, but if you'll be my tour guide then I'll definitely be there."

"Okay make sure your on time."

"July 10th 6 right?" He quickly asked.

"In short I have a date." I said rather shyly to my mother.

Her big smile said it all, "Wow so you're officially over him."

"Him?"

"Well you forbade us to mention his name, so yes, him." She repeated rather bitterly trying to make her point.

I watched as my mom sat the huge bowl of popcorn on the table in front of us. It had always been a tradition of ours to rent a chick flick every saturday night and watch it, just the two of us. I gave her a questionable side glance and couldn't help her raised brow "So where are you guys going on this date?"

"Here actually during the Tanabata festival."

"Do you want me to make you a special yukata? Or do you want to wear your priestess outfit. If you do want to wear a yukata you can help me it could be a mother, daughter activity." My mother said with a huge amount of excitement.

My mother stated with a bright smile, wide hopeful eyes with a glittering gaze. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty as I stated what I honestly felt, "It's just a first date. I'm not sure I should be putting this much effort into it. Getting all excited and drawing on my notes heart with our initials or mr. and mrs. blank. You understand right?" Turning towards my mother I hoped to gauge her reaction and found a frown and watery gaze that filled me with more guilt.

"Kagome. Soon you'll be out on your own for real and we won't have moments like this as often or to this degree. Please let's do this. It doesn't have to be exclusively to the date, if you be for anytime around the year. Please just humor me."

"O-Okay, we can pick out material and stuff monday. I'm off then."

"Okay! Now hush this is my favorite part!"

"Mom we have seen legally blonde a million times!"

"Still I love it when she says "What like getting into harvard is hard?!"" She fiercely declared with plenty of sass. I couldn't help but roll my eyes she always appeared as this quiet and reserved lady, but when it was just us she always tried to act modern, hip or cool. We returned to watching the movie with no interuptions, since our mouths were filled with plenty of salty popcorn. We finished the movie and proceed to bake cookies while looking at pinterest and brainstorming for yukata ideas. In doing so we managed to find the perfect the perfect pattern and overall design.

A week passed painfully slow, earlier that week Haruto and I decided to not speak until our first date. We both knew that may be a bit odd considering are date was a week away and we had a very easy way to communicate. What can I say, I'm an old soul. It's almost painful how ironic that statement truly is. I kept my eyes closed and as time grew so did the pain in my prostier, I've been sitting in this chair forever. But to be honest it's felt amazing, I feel as blessed as a…. God? Saint? Divine figure/creature? I feel like a princess. I had gotten here at three, they've washed, blow dried my hair, curled it and pinned it up with delicate but firm pins. I felt the soft touch of a feather on my face as I felt both of my hands being handled tenderly before I felt a sudden stabbing of freezing liquid.

"Can I open?"

"Not Yet! Stop asking! Stop moving! And Stop talking!"

"Wow, Ayumi I didn't know you could yell."

"Of course I can, if you continue you hear just how loud." She angrily.

Deciding not to test her, I remained there quiet and still. I wish I enjoyed this a bit more than I actually do. I never got beautified before. I only sat in hot springs, before. But in the feudal era that was a luxury in itself. I remember the first bath I had in the feudal era it was in a freezing cold stream. I kept my eyes closed which caused me to noticed the hands holding my own began to move, Are they standing up?

"Okay Kagome, keep your eyes closed and we will guide you." Eri voice said confidently.

"O-Okay," I said rather unconfidently.

I felt myself stand and begin to sway, trying to balance best I could I paused before stepping down. When I felt my shoe kiss the floor and confidence wash over me until I felt myself being pulled in another direction. Blind as a bat I put my full trust into the hands guiding me. All of a sudden they stopped and so did I.

"Arms out." Yuka ordered.

I felt fabric slide gently against my the tops of my arms before I felt the weight of it sit on my shoulders, it wasn't long after I felt it wrap tightly around my waist. Then another fabric joined the first fitting perfectly on top of it. Not long after it too tightened around me, then a small fabric encircled my waist rather tightly. Price for beauty is no oxygen, I guess. A few minutes went by I felt something in my hair and then they asked me to pick up one foot before fabric covered it and then something else.

"Open!" Eri, Yuka and Ayumi screamed in unison.

Opening my eyes I was shocked by what I saw. The person in the mirror was different than the one that normally stared back at me. My face was decorated with a ample but tasteful supply of makeup. The powder hid any tiny imperfection, the black eyeliner and rose ombre eyeshadow made my brown eyes pop tremendously. Blush decorated my cheeks during them permanently pink and ruby covered my lips. I was wearing a breathtaking yukata, I'm happy I listened to mom. My yukata was a deep navy blue decorated generously with variety of tiny yellow dots, red and pink peonies with light green leaves as tiny white flowers decorated the surface. A red and yellow reversible obi wrapped tightly around her waist forming a beautiful butterfly style bow on the middle of my back. White tabi socks and sandals covered my feet, as a red and pink peonie decorated the fluffy bun on my head.

"I look like a summer night!"

"You look gorgeous," Ayumi stated.

Eri smiled and covered her mouth as if she were going to cry "Our little hopeless Kagome is going on her first online date."

"You look irresistible!" Yuka said with a wide smile.

Looking in the mirror part of me desired to have my natural raven hair back, this ombre was beautiful but more traditional hair for traditional attire. I can do this! "Thanks for the make over and everything, but how will I get back?"

"Well we would call you know who," Eri whispered in my ear all slow and teasingly, "But since the plan is to get him and Ayumi together." Stepping away so everyone can clearly hear "Now we'll just call a cab or better yet you could have him pick you up or meet you somewhere close. It is five thirty."

"Have him pick me up? I don't even know if he has a car." I stated.

"Well that's no excuse." Ayumi stated.

" That right! He can pick you up in a car, on a bike, on foot, in a cab or in a ubr." Yuka said throwing her fist in the air.

I stared at them confused "Okay I'll text him. Where's my phone?"

"Right here!" Ayumi loudly chimed placing my cell into my hand.

Rolling my eyes I tapped its screen and scrolled through my apps. Finding the tiny Icon of one red heart and one pink hearts with the words "L or R." Scrolling through my messages I found 'His.' I blushed and began typing.

"Hey I'm on my way to the shrine, do you think you can pick me up?"

I stood outside Eri's home knowing full well that they were all staring outside the blinds. The longer I stood the more nervous I became. The heat pouring down on me only made it worse as my mind began to race like a unruly stallion Oh not a great idea. With all this heat, my makeup will sweat and run and I'll start sweating and then smell. Oh god please hurry! And just like a fairy tale a orange chevy hatchback pulled around the corning and drove up the road, closer and closer towards me. I smiled once it pulled up beside me and emerging from it was Haruto. He wore cream colored van, tan capris, and a light blue T-shirt. His black hair laid naturally on his head without any assistance by gels, spray or chemicals. He got of the car and had a huge smile, without a word he helped me into the passenger seat and closed the door.

Wow. I feel like Cinderella! A pumpkin carriage and a hot prince. Well orange car and a hot guy, it's the same thing, just modern. I wonder how Cinderella didn't break of pumpkin afterwards. Why isn't he talking or have the radio on. It's a little awkward and I'm not sure what to do. Well maybe he just likes it quiet when he drives. I know some people who focus completely on driving when they are in a car and nothing else. Maybe he is one of those.

I was brought out of my insecure thoughts when I saw he stood where my door used to be, he held out his hand and smiled wide. I couldn't help but blush as I delicately put my hand in his. With a soft but firm pull I was brought to my feet and stared past him. I hadn't been home for a shrine festival for quite a while. I spent my entire summer in the feudal era, just leaving notes inside the well. Afterall back then time was very precious and without the interference of school, summer was a god sent. But now I can enjoy my summer to the fullest, here. We slowly climbed the stairs and I could no longer take the silence and began to ramble.

"So how have you been?"

I received a smile and a thumbs up. If I were being honest that wasn't the answer I wanted. I wanted to hear his voice.

"I work at a herbal soap store. It's very relaxing and calm, I just love making new soaps and coming up with my out mixtures. So where do you work?"

Silence~

Maybe he just doesn't talk that much. I hope he is nothing like the quiet Sesshomaru. That would extremely annoying it would be like having a conversation or a relationship with myself. Oh I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Upon reaching the last stair he turned to me and to my surprise pulled out a notebook and pen from his shirt pocket. He quickly began writing and curiously I waited. It wasn't long before he handed me the sticky note and pen, I looked up at him for a while before he gestured for me to read it. Looking down I was very surprised at what the note said.

'Dear Kagome.

I would like to apologize, I probably should have told you before we met. I'm completely deaf. I would also like to say you look amazing tonight. Would you still like to continue our date? Circle your answer.

Yes! or No!'

I quickly circled my answer there being no hesitation in my hand or my heart. I quickly passed the note and pen back to him. I watched as he stared at me, as if to burn my image into his mind. He slowly looked down and quickly picked up his head and gave me a hug. I circled yes. We continued to communicate through the notepad. It did however become more difficult as the sun began to set, but with all the lanterns there was still hope.

I read the note in my hand, 'So how long has the shrine been in your family?'

'Over five hundred years,' I quickly confessed.

'Wow! Are you a priestess? Will you eventually take over the shrine?' He asked.

I paused before shrugging and jotting down my answer. It was a hard question for me to answer since I didn't exactly know the answer myself.

'I am a priestess as lame as that probably sounds. But as for taking over the shrine...I'm not sure. Maybe?'

'I would be cool if you did.' He admitted.

'This is just our first date and I'm not sure how serious it will become, but if it did become something. Is that something you'd want? For me to take over the shrine and be a stay at home wife or mother?'

'It would ultimately be up to you. We are not in the past where that was a woman's only destiny. But if you wanted to take over the shrine and work somewhere else, I'd support you. If you wanted to be a stay at home mother or wife I'd support you. If you wanted to work and not be tied to the shrine or to children and be a working mother, I would still support you.'

I read his reply again and again. I was sweet, kind and hopefully honest. Though I had my suspicions, it sounded perfect as if it were the answer he knew I would want to hear. Brushing aside my suspensions due to the honesty in his eyes, I began to write, 'So what is your occupation and where do you want it to lead?'

'I work as a chef and plan on one day opening my own restaurant.'

We ended our conversation there for now and when looking for the stand where slips of paper awaited our hearts. To my surprise though it probably shouldn't have sitting at the stand was my mother. She had organized stacks of colorful paper. Beside her were three large bamboo plants already plagued with so many papers, well wishes. Mom gave me a wink and I couldn't help but blush. He walked over to her and grabbed a piece of paper and began writing on it. My mom smiled and tried to make conversation the same as I had, "Hello there, what a beauty you have with you tonight."

I knew he hadn't seen her lips move since his entire focus seemed to be on the paper. Walking over I whispered to my mother "He's deaf."

She looked up at me in surprise and then at him "Did you know?"

I shook my head and smiled "I don't mind. We are still having a great conversation with notes."

"My how romantic," she said with glossy eyes.

I copied him and grabbed a slip of paper. What do I wish for? So many things but what does my heart yearn for the most? Love? No. It would be great but that's not it. My hand quickly wrote it down without my brains consent and I was actually surprised by the honest truth, True Happiness. I hung my wish right beside his and read his with a smile A successful date. I quickly pulled out the notebook and told him I think his will come true tonight. He smiled and I began giving him what I had promised, a tour. The well house had been our last stop since it's what I dreaded most, afterall there were just too many memories. I forcefully pried apart the squeaky doors and grabbed the lantern I had set by the door. Raising it high I invited him in. Slowly and carefully we descended the steps and I told him about the legend behind the well. Since it was too long to write I instead spoke it knowing he could read my lips.

"The legend behind the bone eater's well is a silly one. They say that it is connected to another world. When things go into the well they often disappear and sometimes it's forever. The legend stemmed from people throwing bones in and they disappeared without a trace." I watched as he quickly pulled out the notepad and began writing.

'Maybe they disappear because the soil rises or the bones decompose? Is it really old?'

"Yes it is very old, older than this shrine in fact."

'Wow can we see inside of it?'

Nervous but desiring nothing more than to give him an amazing experience I pull off the wooden top. It'll be fine there are still plenty of talismen inside the well to keep it dormant. After throwing it on the ground I held the lantern high and gestured for him to see. Peeking over the edge we both saw the same thing, a deep well made from old stone that was covered with at least then talisman on each wall, the bottom was clean of all rocks and bones, leaving only dirt. I turned around to find that he was extremely close. He took the lantern gently from my grip and set it aside. I stared up at him we were in the dark, with only a distant flickering candle observing us. I saw him close his eye, bend down and pucker his lips. Something inside me told me to do the same thing. Closing my eyes I felt arms incircle my waist and lips press against my own. It was soft,sweet and warm. I felt as if my heart was soaring high like rocket before it plummeted to the ground.

That's not my heart… that's us!

Opening my eyes It like slow motion. We are diving head first into the well. We are going to die! I began to scream as did he, our bodies no longer connected by his strong arms. As we fell all the talismans burt up as if in a simultaneous instant. I closed my eyes just before we were about to hit the ground. But there was not impact, opening my eyes I found we were both floating in a all too familiar blue starry void. I reached out to grab his hand. He stared in awe at our surroundings. I tried to scream his name but knew he would not hear it. Reaching out my fingers were just about to grab the collar of his shirt before as strong sudden gust of wind came out of nowhere blowing me in one direction and him in another. I watched my body floated down a path I did not know, my surrounds went from blue to purple. I've never seen purple in here before! What is this! I need to find Haruto! I tried my best to swim and move, but it felt as if I was covered in heavy chains and was being pulled down farther and farther. Looking down I saw a puddle, inside the puddle was a bright shining moon covered by white fluffy clouds in a dark blue sky. The only words I could manage were "Not again!"
