"Hey mom, have you seen Souta? We are going to be late for school if he doesn't hurry up!"

"I haven't seen him Kagome. Have you tried in the back yard?"

"No I guess he might be out there playing with the cat again."

Kagome walked out into the backyard hoping she would find her brother Souta out there and they could start heading to school. She had a perfect attendance record and being a straight A student, her teachers expected her there everyday doing her best. But it was days like this that she wish she didn't have all that so she was expected of so much from everyone.

"Souta come on, we are going to be late for school and you know I can't be late, not now anyways!" Kagome yelled into the backyard hoping her brother would come out of where ever he was hiding.

Kagome started walking back into her house when she felt someone staring at her from behind. When she turned around she jumped a foot in the air letting out an ear piercing scream.

"SOTA I'M GOING TO KILL YOU. DON'T DO THAT TO ME!"

Souta was standing behind her with a blank look like someone just sucked the life out of him. Kagome was worried, Souta never looked this way in his life and it was odd for him to look like that now, with school being almost over now.

"Souta are you okay? You look like you just got the life sucked out of you! Do you feel okay?" Kagome then walked up to her brother and bent down so she could see him eye to eye. She put one of her hands on his shoulder and the other on his cheek gently pulling his face up so she could see his face.

Her eyes had gotten wide at what she had seen on his face just then. His left eye was puffy and bruised; his bottom lip was swollen with a gash in it. And his cheek had a few scrapes on it as well.

"Souta what happened? Who did this to you?" Kagome was about to cry knowing someone had hurt her brother and she didn't notice it till just now.

"Nothing happened, just a misunderstanding I guess with the new kid Zach at school. He transferred a couple days ago and I went to say hey to him then I don't know if I didn't say the greeting right or not because it was my first time trying to talk English, but then he just hit me. Mom doesn't know so please don't tell her Kagome, it would kill her and I don't want her to get involved it will make things worse."

"I won't tell mom Souta but you have to promise to stay away from him. Don't try to tell him what happened it could just make things worse. So just stay away from him and give him his space. I don't know how you plan on hiding this from mom though Souta. It's pretty bad!" Kagome chuckled a little to try and make the mood lighten up.

Souta smiled softly knowing what his sister was trying to do.

"Okay Kagome I will. But we have to hurry or your perfect attendance record will be ruined!" Souta smiled then headed to the bottom of the stairs that lead up to their house.

Kagome watched as he ran towards the stairs then headed inside to let her mom know they were leaving and will see her after school. After that she took off after Souta and to get to school herself.

Kagome got lucky she wasn't late for school, Souta was safe and hopefully wouldn't be bothered again. Now all she had to do was make it through the day, get Souta, then go home and do her homework.

"So Souta, how was school no problems?"

Kagome had just arrived at Souta's school and started to head home when Souta's bully decided to make a scene.

"Yo Souta, where you think your going?"

Kagome turned around to find a little boy about the height and age of Souta. The only difference was that this boy had blonde hair and blue eyes, so you could defiantly tell he was American and not Japanese like them.

Souta had gone stiff when the boy started talking to him and Kagome noticed it and so did everyone else. When Souta didn't answer the boy grabbed Souta's arm and jerked him around, he threw his fist up ready to punch Souta. Souta cringed ready to feel the boys blow but it never came.

When Souta opened his eyes he saw the boys fist in mid air but covered by another fist. He fallowed the arm that the fist belonged to and saw that it belonged to Kagome.

"Look here little boy I don't know who you are or where you came from. But you will not be hitting my brother anymore. If I find out you so much as pulled a piece of his hair out I will report you to the police and I will have you transferred out of this school district and into a school for rude little boys who would be happy to have a new toy to play with. You got that?"

The boys face had gone pale with fear and a tint of red from embarrassment. When Kagome kept looking at him, he gulped and nodded his head yes then once Kagome released him he took off like his life depended on it.

When Kagome turned around to face Souta he gasped. Kagome looked at him confused and asked what.

"Your eyes Kagome, they turned into a honey yellow color."

Kagome didn't believe him until everyone started staring then she grabbed Souta and ran towards home dragging him behind her.

When they reached home she ran up to her room without saying hello to her mother, and looked in her mirror. Souta was right her eyes were a honey yellow color now. She blinked her eyes and it was still there, she didn't know what happened.

Kagome ran down stairs and into the kitchen where her mom was freaking out.

"Mom! Something happened to my eyes. I don't know what to do they won't change back!"

Kagome's mom looked at her daughter and frowned.

"Did you get mad today Kagome?"

Kagome was confused but answered her mother with a nod of her head.

"Mom what's going on, do you know what is happening to me?"

Kagome's mom had motioned for everyone to sit down and she started to explain to Kagome what had happened to her. Kagome sat there and started to cry.

"NO! I am not a demon mom, I'm a regular 16 year old high school girl. And why did you not tell me I was adopted?"

So many things were running through Kagome's mind, but before her mother could answer anything Kagome jumped up and ran outside. Souta went to run after her but their mother had put her hand on his arm and told him that Kagome needed her space.

Souta jerked his arm away from his mom and gave her an angry look then yelled 'how could you' before he ran up to his room.

Kagome was standing outside under her favorite tree that had grown next to the shrine they took care of that was in their family for generations. Kagome had been crying for so long she didn't feel that something wasn't right.

When Kagome whipped the tears from her eyes and looked up, she saw that the shrine was pulsing. Kagome was freaked out but something about it pulled her towards it.

She walked up to the doors of the shrine and opened them. When she walked in she saw a well that was pulsing as well. She had never been inside the shrine before, her mother had said it was off limits to the kids. She walked up to the well and leaned over to look in but leaned in to far and fell inside.

Kagome closed her eyes and started screaming thinking that she was going to get hurt really bad or die. But when the ground came it didn't hurt. When she opened her eyes she noticed she was sitting on the bottom of the well. She took a breath and smiled happy she wasn't hurt.

She looked around for a ladder or something to climb out but only saw some vines.

Guess these will have to work for a ladder!

Kagome grabbed a hold of the vines and started climbing up. When she reached the edge of the well and climbed out she started to freak out seeing that she wasn't at home.

She was surrounded by trees on every side of her while she stood in the middle of a giant meadow with the well behind her.

Kagome turned around and kicked the well and started screaming at it.

"You stupid well, where did you take me? I want to go home!"

Kagome was still kicking it when someone walked up to her. Kagome jumped and spun around when she heard a voice speaking to her.

"Young child, it isn't wise for ye to be kicking the bone eaters well!"

Kagome gasped when she saw the lady.

"Who are you?"
