Chapter 3
But all Kagome could hear was 'beep…beep…beep' "Oh stupid alarm!" groaned the 15-year old Kagome. She had been woken out of her slumber, to hear her alarm telling her she was late for school.
Kagome Higurashi, was supposedly an average 15-year old teenager. Black silky hair, soft brown eyes and a fair complexion. But what not many people were aware of was that this girl was defying the laws of nature, traveling through time! Five hundred years from the past to the present, able to accomplish this in mere seconds, through the well on the shrine that she lived.
Five hundred years to the past, the old, futile Tokyo, Japan was very different. Many demons lived about that land, not all pleasant. One in particular, Inuyasha, was Kagome's interest. Their group includes Sango, a female demon slayer and her cat demon Kirara; Miroku, a very perverted monk; Shippo a cute for demon, very young; Kagome, and of course Inuyasha; a half demon. He was sealed to a tree for 50 years by a priestess name Kikyo, who he was in love with, but an evil demon, Naraku pulled them apart.
Not too long ago, a caterpillar demon went through the well and grabbed Kagome. Though she didn't know it, the shikon no tama was inside her. Oh, by the way, Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo; this caused the sealed half-demon to wake. The scent was strong, and the young hanyou became aware of his surroundings. Anywho, events passed, and the jewel was shattered. Now Kagome passes through the well to help collect the shards; she can sense their presence.
"Here Kagome. I packed your lunch," said Kagome's mother.
"Oh, thanks mom!" she replied, lightly giving her mother a kiss goodbye. She ran out the door, and raced for school. 'It's bad enough that I'm out all the time, but on the day I decide to come I'm late!' thought the hurried Kagome.
"Ow! Oh sorry Hojo..." she mumbled "Hojo!"
"Hey Kagome! It's nice to see you," replied Hojo helping her pick up her books. "So, why are you late?"
"Oh, I slept in. I had this really dream about in…" she trailed off.
"What? About in the…"
"Oh, never mind," she said shaking her head.
"Ok. Well we'd better get to school. We're already tons late. I couldn't find my books this morning."
