Chapter 1:

Mizuki finally touched down in Tokyo, and being so far away from the scene of the horrible incendent made her feel so much lighter. She barely felt the burden of what had taken place in her old city, even if the memories still remain and haunt her.
After making her way to pick up her luggage, Mizuki looked for her aunt and grandfather. They were supposed to pick her up from the airport and take her back to the shrine.
'Its kinda funny... An atheist living at a shrine'  Mizuki though to herself while giggling  a bit. It should be quite the adventure living with family she hasn't seen since she was twelve, and she was now seventeen. They were more than likely going to be shocked by the drastic change she has made since then. Sure, her mother had sent them plenty of pictures over the last half of a decade... But to see it in person may put them in awe.
"Mizuki?" She heard someone call. Turning her head, Mi spots her aunt.
'Atleast she recogizes me...' "Hey auntie!!" Mizuki waved excitedly. 'Good, the sooner I get there, the sooner I can sleep off this jet lag...'
The car ride on the way to the shrine was filled with small talk. There were 'my, you've grown so much', some 'how have you been?', and other questions that seem to get on Mizuki's nerves. All she really wanted was a quite ride... Since her neigbor on the plane wasn't so nice... A large man that fell asleep, snoring so loudly that Mi couldn't even think about taking a nap...
After getting all of her luggage up to her new room, Mizuki decided to let her mom know that she made it alive. Searching through her purse for her phone, she comes across a velvet pouch. Curious as to what it could bem Mi opens it. Inside she finds a necklace, a silver chain with a heart-shaped locket. The same one Damion gave her when they first started dating.... The same necklace that she left at his place the night of her failed attemt at suicide.
'So that's what he was up to... That fucking bastard!!' Mizuki was furrious. Just when she thought she got away from him, Damion still found away to haunt her. 'Well, its real silver... maybe it's worth something...' She thought while dialing her mother's phone number. The phone rang quite a few times and then went to voice mail. Mizuki figured that her mother was just sleeping or at work. 'Maybe sleeping... it is the middle of the day here...' She shrugged as the voice mail greeting told her to leave a message.
After leaving a message for her mother, Mizuki decided to start unpacking. She really didn't bring a lot with her, just what she needed until Yukino sent the rest of of her belongings. All she brought with her we some clothes, a few cd's and some books. With just that being with her, unpacking was fairly quick.
It was nearing the late afternoon, and Mi was hungry. She hadn't eaten anything since she left her old home. She went down stairs into and into the kitchen, only to run into her aunt.
"Hey auntie." Mizuki said while looking through the cabinets to find something to eat. She was now so glad that her mother had her keep up with reading Japanese. Mi was sure that she would have forgotten everything she know after she mkoved to America when she was a young child if her mother hadn't. Everything in the cabinet had not one word of english on the packages.
"Oh, hello Mizuki. Hungry I see?"
"yea, I didn't have much of an appitite before my flight." Mi replied. She pulled out a cup of ramen out of one of the cabinets. "Is it ok if i eat one of these?"
"Of course, dear. Have whatever you like."
"Thank you," She replied with a smile. She beganto filling the cup with water and stuck it in the microwave. While waiting for the microwave to finish cooking the noodles, Mi could feel  her aunt looking at her. She could always tell when someone was looking at her, judging her. But it ws nice to feel that her aunt wasn't judging, just simply taking in the pre-teen turned young woman. It has been some time since they last saw each other after all.
The older woman took in Mizuki's appearance, taking notice to how tall and lean she was. Her height was most likely inhereted from her father, he had been a tall man from the city her neice grew up in. Even though Mi had a lean build, she also still had womanly curves. A slender waist line that tapered out to her hips all below a bust that would make any woman jealous. Next came her hair, and her aunt wondered why anyone would dye it such an unnatural tone of a orange tinted red. Next came the peircings... Oh the peircings... One on her left eyebrow, and another on her right nostril. If only the older woman knew where her other peiricing was, she would freak out.
After the noodles  had finaly finished cooking, Mizuki took the cup out of the microwave and stired in the flavor packet. "So when does Kagome get home?" she asked while blowing on some of the noodles.
"Oh, she should be home any minute now, actually."
"Ok, cool," Mi replies, slurping up some noodles. "It feels like forever since I've last seen her. I'm so excited that we're gonna be able to spend time together like we did as kids."
"That would be nice, I'm sure she would enoy that... But dear, about Kagom.." The older woman started, before beimg interupted.
"Hey mom, I'm home! Just grabbing my stuff, bye!" Kagome yells from the front door.
"Yo, Kagome! Wait up!" Mizuki calls after her cousin.
"She isn't going to be here much..." Kagome's mother tried to explain, but obviously was not heard.
Mizuki chased after Kagome, and man, was she feeling out of shape. Her cousin was already at the shed that housed the well on the shrine property.
'Jeeze, is she on the track team or something? She's fast!' Mi thought to herself. The only thing she saw through the blurring background was the sacred tree, bearing its beautiful flowers. 'Wow, that tree is actually blooming? Its so pretty!
As she neared the shed, Kagome had already entered. A few seconds later, as Mizuki gets to the shed, she sees a blue light flash.
'I wonder what that was?' "Kagome?" Mizuki calls out, only to find no one there. "Oh my god! Did she fall into the well??" Panicing, she looks over the edge og the wall, "I'm coming. I'll get you out of there Kagome!"
As she climbs over the edge of the well, Mizuki feels her skin begin to tingle, like something was calling out to her. Mizuki climbed over the edge of the well, starting slowly down the rope ladder that was dangling down the hole. A few moments after Mi began her decent, she is swallowed by the same blue light she saw just seconds before. The light envelope her, caressing her body with this unexplained power. Mizuki had this feeling, like she was light as a feather, just floating down into the strange light. The next thing she knew, Mizuki was sitting at the bottom of the well.
"What just happened?" She questioned while looking around. 'Looks like Kagome isn't here.... But I sware I saw her going into the shed.... Whats going on?' "Looks like I'm going to have to climb out..."
Mizuki bit the edge of the ramen cup, as to hold on to it, and started climbing. She wasn't going to leave it down there, Mizuki wasn't one to waste food. After a few minutes of climbing, Mizuki finally reached the top. Hoping off the edge of the well, she notices that she isn't in the shed anymore, but in a small clearing surrounded by a forest.
"Toto, I don't think we're in Tokyo anymore..." mumbled Mizuki to no one in particular.
"Oi! You're not Kagome, where is she?" Questioned a male voice coming from behind her.
When Mizuki turned around, she was met with dark golden eyes, which even to her were very strange. This young man she encountered was tall for a japanese man, just reaching above her height. He had unruley silver hair that reached his lower back. The clothes he wore were quite odd, as if they were from the feudal times, only in a bright red color. The atop his head were little white triangles of fur, to which looked like cat ears. And were they adorable. Mizuki felt the girl in her come out as the was consumed by the urdge to touch them.
"Looks... so... soft..." Mi mumbled, reaching for the young man's ears.
Hey! W... What do you think you're doing?" Questioned the young man. His ears flattened against his head, obviously knowing what was going to happen. He grabbed Mizuki's wrists, putting a halt to her pursuits.
"I just wanted to touch your kitty ears... They're so cute and so real looking..." Mizuki replyed while the young man released her wrists.
"They ARE real, and they're dog ears, NOT cat." replied the dog-eared boy. "Now, where is Kagome?"
"How should I know? She jumped down the well and disappeared... I think..."
"What do you mean you know where she is? Your scent just popped up right after her's, you should have seen her!" The silver haired boy was yelling now, and Mizuki wasn't at all happy with it.
"It means exactly what it sounds like you dumb ass! Do I NEED to spell that out for you??" Mizuki yelled back at him. This young man that she just met, he just pissed her off so much that she wanted to take a swing at him. But she had to calm down, he seemed to know Kagome. If they were friends and Mizuki happened to punch him, Kagome would probably get really mad at her. 'Maybe its her boyfriend...? Wait a second! He said he found my scent after he found Kagome's.... What the fuck does that mean??'
"Are you even listening anymore?" questioned the sliver haired boy.
"Actually, no," Mizuki replied bluntly. "How do you know Kagome? Are you her boyfriend of something?"
"Uuuuummmm..."
'Must be, his face is redder than his clothes' Mi thought while slurping up some of her ramen.
------------------------
Kagome was planning on surprising Inuyasha when he came to drag her back from her time. But now all she heard was yelling coming from the direction of the well. One of the voices, a female, sounded vey familiar to her.
'Where do I know from that voice from? I know that I've heard it before...' Kagome decided that she should  save the poor villager that decided to pick a fight with the short tempered hanyou. Picking up her over sized bookbag, Kagome started off towards the well. 'When will people learn?'
She reached the edge of the woods to the clearing by where the well sits, and of course she sees Inuyasha. It IS kind of hard to miss him in his red outfit. But that didn't surprise her, for he always wore it. Though what she saw next did, however, surprise her. It appeared to be her cousin, to whom she hadn't seen since the last time she was in japan, maybe five years ago? The young woman in front of her resembled her cousin, but was so different, so grown up.
"Mizuki? Is that you? How did you get here?" questioned the raven haired girl as she walked closer.
Kagome has changed some since Mizuki had last seen her. The other teen had finally grown. Kagome, in the past, had always been a little short for her age. She was now just a few inches shorter than Mizuki. She had a slender body, and long black hair that framed her face and her big brown eyes. Kagome had become quite an attractive girl over her teen years.
"Kagome! Thank god!" exclaimed Mizuki. " Honestly, I don't even know how I got here... The last thing I remember was me trying to catch up to you, and panicing because I thought you fell down the well... So I jumped in and popped out here.''
"Not a smart thing to do," snorted Inuyasha.
"What is that supposed to mean?" questioned Mi angrily, balling up her fists. This guy really got under her skin.
The group started to walk away from the well. To where, Mizuki didn't know. All that mattered was that Kagome was ok, and she knew where they were walking. The trees started to thicken as they walked.
"It means that you did something totaly stupid. What if the well didn't let you through like it does for Kagome? Then you would be stuck at the bottom of the well in your time."
"Of my time? Ok, Kagome, Wha the hell is he talking about?"
"Hmm... How should I put it..." Kagome pondered, "You see, I can travel from our time to Inuyasha's through the bone eaters well."
"How can you do that?" Mi asked.
"Well, its because..." Kagome began before she was rudely interupted by her impatient hanyou.
"Can we NOT talk about this!" Inuyasha said, more in a tone of a statement rather than a question.
He obviously did not to talk about the wells strange powers... It would only lead back to her and their  history together. And he didn't want to talk about... her. Or any of it for that matter. There was just too much pain thinking about it...
Kagom noticed his discomfort, knowing what happened between him and Kikyo not all to long ago. She envied Kikyo for what she and Inuyasha once had, now she hated her.
"I think it would be best if we talked about this later... Just you and me, ok Mizuki?" Looking ahead, Kagome saw their destination. "Heyy, we're almost there."
"Where? That village?" Questioned Mizuki.
"Of course that village, where else would we be going?" Snapped Inuyasha. "You know what? You talk kind of funny..."
"Its an accent, Inuyasha. She live in America for most of her life." Kagome explained.
"Where's Ahh-mer-ick-ah?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Oh, thats right, America won't be founded for another couple hundred years... Its a country east of Japan."
"Oooh, ok."
With this new found information, Mizuki stopped dead in her tracks. She looked at her cousin with a stunned look on her face. 'Did she say couple hundred years?'
"Mi, are you ok? Why did you stop?"
