Thank you to everyone who read my first chapter. This is my first time posting on here so it's fairly exciting to see that people are actually reading my stuff. I will try to post on a regular basis (at least once a week) but sometimes I can't wait and will post sooner if I can (like now). Obvious disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any Inuyasha Character (although I do own an inu stuffed toy which is so cute) I am merely borrowing from a very well written story and adding my own characters into the mix. Thank you and on to the story….

Sesshomaru stood in his office and stared out the open balcony doors overlooking his lands. The sun was shining brightly, which it usually did and birds were

chirping as was their annoying habit. It was, for better lack of a word, a beautiful day. It wasn't that he couldn't enjoy a nice day, being a dog demon he liked good

weather and a nice breeze; it was that something felt off. Sesshomaru had felt as though something was missing for a while now and he couldn't figure out what. It

was beginning to annoy him. Jaken took that opportunity to burst into the room bowing and babbling about some demon infestation. Sesshomaru thought about

kicking him out, he could care less what the other demons did as long as they did not bother him directly, but thought it over for a moment. His annoyance was

greater today because that thing, whatever it happened to be that was missing from his life, seemed to be itching closer to the surface. Perhaps killing a few pesky

demons would help his mood and he would finally be able to focus on the pike of scrolls that needed his attention. He glanced out at the land once more, besides, it

was a nice day, and perhaps being out side would help as well. With that decided Sesshomaru turned and walked out the door. Jaken breathed a sigh of relief; he was

never sure how his lord and master would react to him these days. Even the little filthy human that his lord insisted they care for was being careful around him. He

hoped that was ever bothering his master would vanish soon.

Anya walked out of school and started home. It had been a horrible day. It wasn't that anyone had been mean to her, the culture was very different from

American schools where they were outright mean; it was just that everything was so different. She wasn't very tall and she had black hair so it wasn't that she stood

out from the group, but it was obvious that she wasn't from there and that she didn't know how things happened in the school. She had been so lost most of the day.

She had been too nervous and shy to attempt to make any friends and she really just wanted to see her mother and to go eat ice cream. She knew that wasn't

possible, but perhaps her father would be home early and would ask her how her day was and tell her that tomorrow would be better. The first day in a new school

was scary for anyone, even people who lived in the same neighborhood their whole life felt a little nervous on their first day. Anya smiled a little, she was giving

herself a good pep talk, and her inner voice was right, tomorrow would be better.

As she approached her home Anya noticed the beautiful shrine she had seen that morning. Something about it called to her. There was a magic to it that calmed

Anya's nerves and made her think that just maybe there were better things out there. She glanced up at her home and noticed that her father's car wasn't there and

that the maid had left for the day. That left a long lonely night ahead of her if he didn't get home until his normal time. Anya really didn't want to spend hours alone

in the big house. Perhaps the shrine would be a good place to do her homework. There were no signs posted that it was private property and she wasn't going to

harm anything. She just wanted to be somewhere that felt calming and serene. Feeling like it was the right choice Anya made her way up to the shrine and looked

around in awe. Beautiful cherry blossom trees hung over the small shrine and a small stream flowed down the other side of the hill. There was even a small well off to

the side. Feeling suddenly thirsty Anya set her backpack down and walked over to the well to draw some water. She pulled the rope and the little bucket started up

and then stuck on something. Anya looked down the well. It looked like something was poking out from the side of the well and the bucket was stuck on it. She tried

lowering the bucket to move it around the object but it held fast. Anya chewed her lower lip. She broke the well; that was just perfect. She studied it a moment and

decided that the bucket wasn't too far down, if she carefully leaned over the edge she could probably reach and could pull the bucket off whatever it was stuck on.

She sat on the edge of the well and took a deep breath, she didn't want to fall in, she had seen the news of people who had fallen down wells, she had always

wondered why they had leaned so far in, and now she was about to do it as well. She shook her head, just be careful Anya she thought to herself. Gripping the rope

tightly Anya leaned down into the well, she was only a few inches short of touching the bucket, shifting herself slightly she reached just a little further and touched it!

She smiled feeling accomplished. Working carefully she unstuck the bucket and then touched whatever it was that had caused the issue in the first place. It was

smooth and slightly porous, there were rounded edges and …it was a bone. Anya pulled her hand away quickly jumping slightly in repulsion. What was a bone doing

sticking out the side of a well? Did that mean that someone was buried in the wall of the well? It was a horrible thought, and disgusting, that made the water

undrinkable. All that work and she wasn't going to drink the water, with a sigh Anya started to pull herself back up. She looked up and noticed that the rope she was

putting all her small weight on was about to snap, it was unraveling quickly. Feeling the first twinge of panic Anya tried to quickly pull herself from the well, but it was

too late the rope broke and with almost no sound Anya fell down into the well back first, hitting her head on the bone as she passed it. She passed out before hitting

the water and sinking slowly below its oily surface.

That's it for chapter 2! Let me know what you think so far. I will get the next Chapter up as soon as i can. Thanks!
