I just lover cliff hangers. I think this may be my best story yet and my favorite!
Chapter 3
"H-How do you know my name?" Kagome asked confused. "I-I this isn't happening. You're not real. They're not real." Mollye said pointing to everyone who had gathered. "None of this is real!" She shouted. "Calm down. Why don't you come with me. I can make you some food. I think we need to talk." Kagome said coming over to Mollye who had started to shake as tears slipped down her face. "I'm sorry...i'm having...I think i'm having a panic attack. This is embarrassing." She said sobbing. Kagome just put an arm around her shoulder trying to comfort her. "You all, everything is fine. Don't worry. She is a friend of mine and she means no harm. Go back to your homes." Kagome said to everyone as the crowd started to disperse. Walking a little ways Kagome veered right and took a small path that led to a fairly big hut. Stepping inside Kagome stopped. Mollye's eyes widened and she started to shake more. "No..." "Inuyasha...put a mat down on the floor so that she can sit." Kagome said to the silver haired man that stood in front of them taking something in a wooden spoon. Who's that? Why' she so scared and dressed so...differently? Aye Kagome, she looks like she's from your time!" Inuyasha exclaimed putting a mat down on the ground. Kagome led Mollye over to it and they both sat down, Kagome in front of her. "Okay, I need you to breathe in and out for me. Okay? No one is going to hurt you." She said putting her hands on her shoulders. "But...that's not possible. That's Inuyasha. How is he real? This can't be real. I'm sorry I keep saying that, I must sound annoying. It's just that none of this is real. I just fell in the well and i'm unconscious." Mollye stated calming down. She was slowly coming to the fact that this was all a dream. "A well? You mean the bone eaters well? That would explain why you're dressed so differently. This isn't a dream though...we are very real. If you can feel me touching you, then this is real." Kagome said squeezing her shoulder.
Mollye just stared in shock. "I don't understand...am I really in the feudal era? This is all real? You are real, Inuyasha is real, this place is real?" She said in disbelief. "Yes, this is all real. I don't know how, but you are able to travel through the well it seems. Are you American?" Kagome asked trying to piece together everything. "Yeah, i'm in Japan for a study abroad trip. I went to your shrine to see it. I had seen it in the series and I wanted to see it up close." Mollye whispered. "The series? What do you mean?" Kagome questioned. "The Inuyasha series. It's an animated Japanese tv series. You haven't heard of it?" Mollye asked shocked. "N-No...I had no idea. I haven't been able to go home in 10 years. That's how long i've been here. When I came back the well closed up, so I have no idea how life is on the other side. I still look young though, since i'm a miko we age slower like demons. I learned that as time went on and noticed I had hardly aged. But the series, my brother mentioned wanting to create a tv series when he grew up based on my adventures. I had been so happy that my little brother had an idea of what he wanted to do, that I wrote down every adventure and the people who I had encountered and how they looked. He would be in his 20's now. He must have accomplished his goal." Kagome said smiling happily. "But Rumiko Takahashi created the series, or so I thought. Maybe he helped her. This is so...unreal. But how did I get here?" Mollye wondered aloud. "I have no idea, but I will see if I can find out. Kayede should be by soon for dinner. Until then you can stay with us." Kagome said smiling. "It will be good to have someone from my time and a girl no less!" "Keh, great. Another female. Just what I need." Inuyasha said sitting down cross legged. Mollye giggled and sat up on her knees reaching out and touching his ears. "Aye stop that will ya!" He said swatting her hands away. "Sorry, I just...i've always dreamed of doing that. You are my hero, you know? I grew up knowing you and watching you. I even had a crush on you at one point! Funny how things turn out considering how in love with..." Mollye stopped and her face reddened. "Wait...you what? Who are you in love with here?" Kagome asked curiously. "O-Oh no one. I'd rather not say. It doesn't matter, it's just a silly infatuation. Forget I said anything." Mollye said laughing softly.
As they talked about the future and their adventures the flap to the door opened and an elderly woman stepped in. "Aye child, I hear someone else in here. Do ye have company?" The woman asked as Kagome got up and so did Mollye. "Yes I do. Kayede, this is..." Kagome gasped. "I didn't even ask you for your name, i'm so sorry!" "Oh no it's fine. It's Mollye. My name is Mollye Smith." Mollye said laughing. "Kayede, Mollye is a new friend of mine. She came here...through the well. We aren't exactly sure how, but she is from my time and from an entirely different country!" Kagome exclaimed. "The well ye say? Come, let us sit and talk about this. You are certainly different child." She said sitting down next to Inuyasha. Mollye explained to them what had happened when she had entered the well as they all listened intently. "Ah I see. Yes, then the aura around you would explain it. I sensed it as I came near the hut. You have great power in ye, child. Great power indeed." Kayede said making them all gasp. "Power? What do you mean? I don't have power. I'm just...well an ordinary girl." Mollye asked confused. "Nay, child. You are most certainly not. It seems you are a miko as this one is." Kayede said pointing to Kagome. "The power on you, however, is much stronger. The strongest I have ever felt coming from a human." Mollye just stared in extreme shock. Her, a priestess? What world had she stepped into!
