"Ohhh my head," I groaned as I clutched the back of it. I slowly open my eyes and look around at my very dark surroundings. I remembered that I had fallen down the well in the woods next to my school. "Kaoru!" I called up at my bestfriend, "Kaoru?! Are you still there?!" I could see some sunlight shining at the top of the well. It was near sundown when I had fallen into the well, so I guess I got knocked out from the fall. That would explain why my head hurt so damn much. I figured since I could see that much sunlight, the well couldn't be that deep. I started to climb up a ladder that was built into the well. I was right. It wasn't a deep well because a few minutes later I had reached the top of it. I climbed out of it and landed on the ground. I looked around me. I was in some woods, but they didn't look like they were the ones near my school. In fact, nothing about these woods resembled the ones that I was familiar with. "Kaoru?!" I once again called for my bestfriend. "Kaoru?! Where are you?! I know yo ass didn't just leave me behind in that well!! You betta have gone to get some help!!" I started to walk into the direction of where my school was, but I never came across it. "What in the hell?" I thought to myself, "I know that I'm not in another city. Or am I?" All of a sudden I heard noises coming at me.
"Get away from me!" I heard a voice yell. I quickly ran to some nearby bushes and jumped in them. I hid behind them as I saw a man come up and trip over his own feet, into the ground. Soon after another man came up. He had on some very odd clothes. He had long black hair and red eyes.
"I know you have a shard of the Shikon Jewel. If you just hand it over, I won't have to kill you," the black haired guy said to the other man.
"Please leave me. I have no idea what you are talking about," the man begged, practically crying. "What is going on?" I thought to myself. As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I saw the black haired guy's clothes rip off and some tentacle like things come out of his back and lower body. "What the fuck?!" I screamed in my head as my eyes widened. The black haired guy sent the tentacles flying at the man who was still on the ground and wrapped them around him. The tentacles squeezed the man tightly and his skin turned blue. He struggled violently to get loose. Then all of a sudden, some purple smoke came out of the tentacles, making the man cough. Eventually the man stopped struggling and fell limp. The tentacles released their grip around the man and he fell to the ground. They then retracted back into the black haired guy's body and the guy then wrapped a fur pelt around his naked body. I watched in complete fear and horror as I saw the guy walk up to the dead man. He started to search his lifeless body.
"Where is it?" he said, rumaging through the dead man's clothes. "I gotta get outta here!" I screamed in my mind. As quietly as I could I tried to sneak away, but as I did, my shirt got caught on apart of the bush and caused me to fall. The man with the black hair and red eyes stopped his searching and eyed the bush I was hiding in. He got up and started walking towards it. My body froze with fear as I just knew that this was the end of me. The man roughly snatched the bush back and saw me curled up into a ball with my back against a tree.
"What have we here?" he smirked as he saw the fear written all over my face, "a girl? With strange clothes no less. You're dressed smiliar to that girl who travels with Inuyasha." My body started to tremble as I stared up into his red eyes. They had a sense of bloodlust within them.
"I don't mean any harm. I'm just lost. Please leave me," I begged the man. He just smirked again.
"Now now. Why are you so afraid? Do you think that you will become like that man over there?" He motioned his head over to the lifeless body. I closed my eyes and nodded my head. The man reached down and grabbed me by my neck. He slammed me against the tree that was behind me. "I guess I can put you out of your fear now," he once again smirked at me. I struggled for breath as I wriggled around. Just then out of nowhere, just randomly, I glanced again over at the man and saw a pink glow around his legs.
"What's that?" I gasped. The man with the black hair turned and looked where I was pointing at, "there's...something...pink...in his...leg." He then turned back and looked at me in my eyes. He narrowed them before releasing the grip around my neck. I fell to the earth struggling to regain my breath. He walked back over to the dead man and cut his right leg open. He dug in and pulled out a shiny pink thing.
"The jewel shard that I seek," he muttered looking at it. He then turned and looked at me. He walked towards me again. I backed away from him, but only ended up with my back against the tree again. "You. Girl. You can see the shards?" he asked me. I looked at him confused.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him. He just smirked.
"I shall spare your life girl. It seems as if you are useful to me after all. Come with me," he said as he grabbed me and picked me up into his arms.
"Let me go!" I demanded trying to get out of his grip, but to no avail. The man and I then decended from the ground and started to fly off into the eastern sky.
