CHAPTER TWO

"I know, I know..you want to leave here just as bad as I do. Don't worry we will."

As many times as I said this I was never quite sure that I would ever get the guts up to leave. Looking up at me with worried eyes, Buyo meowed like he knew I wasn't going anywhere, but he was wrong. Little did he know that our lives would change entirely that night.

The thing was I had been thinking a lot more after InuYasha left me. And not just about him, but everything. It's strange how one simple thing like a break up could trigger such thoughts. Though the one thing that I thought about the most was my future and what purpose I would serve within it. The life that I was living now didn't give me an answer to either of those..this life didn't hold a purpose or a future..there was no place for me to stay anymore..

Putting away the final piece of clothing into my suitcase, Buyo gave me that same questioning and some what worried expression. "What? I told you we were going to do this a thousand times all ready..The only difference this time is that we're actually going to leave." Still not convinced he meowed and pawed at the door. "No. We'll take the window. I know what you're thinking..You think that I'll run down the stairs, loudly, just so that mom and grandpa will come out to stop me and I'll have another break down. Well that's not how it's gonna be. This time we're leaving for sure and we are taking the other way out. Through the window. I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna get down there.." Obviously not expecting such a long answer from me he just stared at me like I was crazy. "What are you looking at?", I asked him starting to get a little pissed. "Oh my god..I'm arguing with my cat. What the hell is wrong with me?", I asked myself, putting a hand to my forehead. Ahh..well. Better find a way down there.

"Uh..thank god we got outta there without being noticed." I stated simply to myself. I managed to climb down the window without any MAjor injuries.. But my thoughts were cut short due to a loud creaking noise coming from the back of the house. Gasp! Oh no..I forgot. Grandpa always comes out every sunday night to pray underneath the Tree of All Ages. Then Buyo, being the not-so-bright cat that he is, meowed at the sight of grandfather heading towards the sacred tree.

"Buyo. What are you doing out here?" My grandfather asked the cat and scratched his ears.

"Shit." I muttered as I ran into the well house. I had to think of something and fast so this wasn't the best idea in the world considering Grandpa would be coming in here too in a couple minutes to gather everything he needed for his praying ritual. Ugh, what was I gonna do now? Jump down the well? Psh. But Grandfather's foot steps coming towards the well house, confirmed that it was my only hope of not getting caught. "Damn it." I said quietly to myself as I opened up the old well and jumped in. Unfortunately, those would be my last words here in the present era, for everything I knew was about to change.

I squeezed my eyes shut knowing that I would surely break my ankle when I landed at the bottom of the well..but I didn't. In fact, I don't think I ever hit the bottom. I slowly opened them and to my surpise I wasn't in the well at all. I was...no where. It was like I was floating in some strange kind of purple and white mist. But the second I saw it, it was gone. And I was back in the well. "Maybe I hit my head or something.." I thought out loud to myself, but when I looked up and saw a bright blue sky I knew I hadn't. "Help! Somebody, help me!" I yelled out hopeing just someone would be around to help me get out of this stupid well. "Oh, what's the use? No one can hear from down here." I said, feeling so hopeless. Well I'll just hafta climb out myself then. I grabbed hold of the vines adorning the well and took my first try at getting out of here. Though it failed sadly. OOF! "Ugghhhhhhh..." I groaned. But I couldn't give up just yet. I wasn't a damned princess that needed rescuing and I can get outta this well by myself. My angered thoughts motivated me at another try and this time I wasn't about to fall on my ass again. Finally I pulled myself out of the top of the well and got a good look at my surroundings. "Holy Shit." Was my conclusion to it all. It was like I was in a whole different world. There were no houses, schools, cars, streets..there wasn't anything at all. And then I saw it. The Sacred Tree. My house has to be there...it just has to. I quickly cut through the forest to get to the sacred tree, but I didn't find what I expected..oh nothing near it. What I saw was a boy..a boy that looked just like InuYasha. He was tied to the sacred tree by huge vines and stuck in his chest was an arrow. "Oh my god..Inu-" But I couldn't finish the end of my sentence. "Hey, you! Get away from there!" I turned around to find a bunch of village men with bows and arrows that were aimed at me. They released their hold on them and I screamed as I grabbed hold of the boy I had grown to hate in the last couple of days..for my life.

Afterwards the men tied me up and took me to a nearby village. "Let's ask Lady Kaede what to do with her." "Yeah she's probably a spy of some sort." "Or maybe she's a demon!" A demon..? What the hell is wrong with these people? I asked myself as I sat in the center of the town surrounded by a bunch of gossiping village people. Then a old, heavy set woman wearing an eye patch and old fashioned clothes made her way towards me.

"Be gone demon!" She yelled, throwing sutras at me trying to make whatever demon she thought I was, leave.

"I not a demon!" I screamed right back at her and shook myself free of all the sutras that were currently residing on me.

"I see." She stated and the sutras stopped flying. "Thank god." I thought to myself, but the accusations weren't over yet.

"Well maybe Lady Kaede, she some sort of spy!" A village man from earlier just had to bring up his dumb idea again.

"I'm not a spy.." I said quielty already becoming pissed again.

"Why would anyone send someone to spy on our village? Esspecially during these times of war..it wouldn't be a very good idea." She replied to the man as nicely as she could. I just sat fuming in the center of everyone, starting to get a little fed up with all this shit about me being a spy or a demon and all this other ridiculous crap. "This girl obviously means us no harm. Now I will take her in and get her to explain her reason for being here. So please, everyone don't worry about it." She ordered all the village people surrounding the two of us. Though not very convinced they began to disperse and continue on with whatever they were doing. Then the old woman named Kaede untied my hands and feet and directed me to her cottage. "I apologize for all the trouble we caused you. But aye, child what were you doing in the forest of InuYasha?" She asked me as she handed me a bowl of stew the she had cooked up for us. InuYasha; the name struck me so hard that all the memories came flooding back to me. Him dodging me in the hallways at school, his dumb excuses he gave me for not wanting to talk on the phone, and... I couldn't even think to say it; our break up. Unknowingly, tears already stained my face. "My dear child, what ails you?"

"Nothing." I choked out the answer I gave to everybody when they asked me about InuYasha. She gave me an uncertain look, but just went back to eating. I had to say something though and I decided to tell her everything that had happened to me in the last two weeks and of course about the last two days.

"Oh my." Was all she could say. I couldn't blame her, it was all I could say too.
