Chapter 4-Turn of Events

Autumn's P.O.V.
The world around me was strange… it was dark and misty.

"Young One."

I jumped as the female voice addressed me. Turning around, I found myself once again facing the golden dog. Wait a moment, was she glowing?!

"Listen to me closely, Young One, for I do not have much time." She ordered.

I blinked in surprise, quite sure now that my day couldn't possibly get any stranger.

"I am the remaining being of one of the great Inu spirits." The canine informed me, "Over the last several centuries, I have been searching for someone worthy of possessing my essence and power, a person worthy of the Inu bloodline."

"You're essence?" I repeated in confusion.

"Yes." She continued, "Sadly, as of late, what remains of my spirit has been fading away, causing my situation to turn desperate. I'm sorry young one, for you shall have many burdens to bear. But you are the one I have chosen to succeed me."

"Wait!" I cried out as the Golden Inu began disappearing before my very eyes, "What do you me succeed you?! What did you do to me?!"

"You shall find out soon, Child." The spirit stated as she faded away entirely, "Farewell and good luck."

My eyes fluttered open as I felt a cool breeze brush against my pale skin, a deep sadness seemed to penetrate my soul as I thought about my dream. Sitting up painfully, I took a look at my surroundings.

It was forest… Lots of lush, green forest.

"Since when the hell did cities have forests?!" I almost screamed. The air was also pure, like mountains, unlike the dirty city. I looked down at what was supposed to be the drainage ditch that I'd walked into. Well, seemed like the drainage ditch had magically turned into a beautiful flowing river (note extreme sarcasm), "What the hell! Am I dreaming?!"

No, I knew I couldn't be dreaming because I'd just been dreaming only a couple of minutes ago. You can't dream in a dream! "What?! Did that stupid ditch fill up and wash me down to Glacier National Park or something?!" There was only one way to find out. True, that shouldn't even be possible, but I sure as hell wasn't anywhere NEAR the place where I called home. So, gathering myself up, I decided to follow the river; my best bet on finding any civilization.

As I walked, a weird feeling began to crawl up inside of me. I mean, yeah, I still hurt like hell and was still thoroughly freaked out about everything that'd happened. But that wasn't all. My body felt… different somehow.

"You there, Woman." A gurgly voice suddenly called out behind me, "Just where do you think you're going?"

I instantly whirled around the face the person who had addressed me but came to a frozen standstill when I saw him.

"OH."

"MY."

"GOD!"

It was a Youkai, like a fricken Inuyasha Youkai! Wait just a moment… he was an Inuyasha Youkai! The bastard standing in front of me was an anime character!

"Just what the hell is going on here?!" I mentally panicked while keeping on a calm, stoic face. The damn Youkai standing a little ways off in front of me was friggen huge! By the looks of it, I was pretty sure it was an Oni.

I inwardly cringed as the brute roamed me over with appraising eyes. "Hmm… I can feel a powerful Youki radiating off of you. Strong Youkai females are a rarity indeed," he paused, "Become my woman and I shall let you live."

But he had lost me as soon as he said 'youki' and called me a Youkai. "Dude! I'm a human, you dumbass! You'd think he'd be able to smell it!" I thought with disbelief. Seriously, was this guy crazy? I glanced over at my reflection in the water, "I'm a huma-"

…

…

…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" a blood-curling shriek left me as I saw the person staring back at me in the reflection. Yeah, it was me but there had been a few anatomy adjustments. First, instead of having short well clipped fingernails, my nails had turned into razor sharp claws, capable of ripping flesh with ease. Secondly, my normally rounded ears had turned pointy, almost like the ears of an elf. Thirdly, and even more disturbingly, my face had been adorned with a midnight blue magenta stripe on each cheek! Very carefully, so as not to cut myself, I lifted my upper lip. Sure enough, a pair of gleaming fangs glistened brightly as the sun hit their being.

"I've been turned into a Youkai!"

I continued to stare at my reflection, my eyes widening with shock as another realization hit me.

"Holy shit! I've been turned into an anime Youkai! That golden mutt turned me into an anime Youkai and stuffed me into Inuyasha!"

My body suddenly began feeling very faint as I began wobbling, overloading with the information that I'd just taken in.

1. I was a Youkai!

2. was an anime character!

3. I was in the fricken anime Inuyasha!

4. That golden dog from before was from here too!

"Oh, hell no girl! You are so NOT fainting!" I steeled myself as I dragged my attention back to the problem standing approximately twenty feet in front of me with a confused look on his face.

"Well?" he demanded, "What is your answer?"

"Oh hell to the NO!" I snapped back at him. Perhaps not the best idea as I could see his look of temporary confusion be instantly replaced by indescribable rage. "Damnit! Think, think, THINK!" I screamed inside my head. But it was too late, as the Oni charged me. I looked around desperately for something to defend with myself with. "Use your claws, dumbass!" I chided my idiot self, and I did just that.

As the brute lunged for me, I sidestepped him with ease before positioning my hand in an arrow like shape and stabbing it through his heart. I barely resisted the urge to vomit as I felt my hand pierce through his flesh, his blood trickling down my arm as his body became nothing but a lifeless corpse.

"Wait a moment! What's that?" I wondered as I felt something hard and sharp, almost like a piece of glass, imbedded inside of his chest. Gripping it firmly, I gave my bloodied hand a hank as I pulled it out. Imagine my shock as I found myself holding a Sacred Jewel Shard.

Well, that definitely confirmed it. I was stuck in the anime Inuyasha.

Another dizzy streak hit me full force, so I wisely decided to sit down. Just what the hell had I gotten myself into?! What was I supposed to do now?! How the hell was I supposed to get home?! AND HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET BACK TO NORMAL?! Miserably, I stared down at the Sacred Jewel Shard in my hand. Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind. If I held on to it, than Kagome should be able to sense it and that means that they'd find me! And, chances are, that if I explained my situation to them they might be able to help me! Kagome was from a different world, after all. So, there was no reason why they wouldn't believe that I was as well!

"Then again…" I mused, "If I have a sacred jewel shard…" a gulp sounded in my throat, "then that means Naraku is sure to come after me as well."

PAUSE…

Hopeful rescue with certain peril, or no rescue at all, alone out here in the middle of ancient Japan with probable death?

"Well," I huffed, shoving the jewel shard down into my pocket, "Guess now all I can do is wait and hope for someone to arrive." All I could do now was wait and see who found me first, Naraku or Inuyasha.

Well, what do ya think. I'm BEGGING you here! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE review! I ain't posting the next chapter until I get at least a couple more reviews. Oh, also please follow and favorite if you're enjoying the story. See ya'all in the next chapter!
