A/N: One of my first Inuyasha fanfics, so bear with me. Constructive Criticism is encouraged. Flames will be used for Jaken's staff.

I've asked for permission to base this story off of a friend of mine's role-play story. She's on YouTube, and her username is KareiSonozaki, so this story partially belongs to her.

Disclaimer: Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. However, Karei Sonozaki, and Otakumaru Higurashi belong to KareiSonozaki, with partial ownership to me, seeing as I modified them a bit.

Otakumaru pushed his glasses back to their place, so he could see comfortably. He was currently playing the famous World of Warcraft, while his best friend, Karei sat down on the couch, playing one of their old video games.

"I think she might be a reincarnation," Otakumaru said, not even looking away from the computer screen.

"Like I said, the similarities are seamless," Karei replied, not taking her eyes off the TV screen, either. "Kyouko's in girl's track, and Kouga was extremely fast. She calls me mutt-girl, and Kouga called my past life muttface. They even look alike."

"From the illustrations. You know you can't trust them, with how unrealistic they look."

The ears on top of Karei's head twitched. They were dog ears. Karei was a 15-year-old girl, or she seemed to be 15, anyway. She had long whitish, silver hair that went down just short of her knees. Her face bore two purple stripes on each side that went toward the center of her face, but ended right below her eyes. On the middle of her forehead, she bore a single indigo dot. She wore what she normally wore. Jeans, a blue tank-top, with a light blue jacket. Though, she had taken off her jacket a while ago.

The other teen, however, was a normal, human teenager. He had short, dark hair, which was about an inch all around. He wore normal, rectangular glasses, which at certain angles, the glare hid his brown eyes. Other than that, he wore a simple white shirt, and green pants.

"Otakumaru, if you're going to disagree with me, then why did you say she might be a reincarnation?" Karei asked, before groaning at the loss of her last life on the video game.

"Because, I sensed shikon energy in her legs. The only problem is that the shards aren't there." Otakumaru replied. "And if they are there, they're probably hidden away the way the entire shikon jewel was hidden inside my past life's body."

While Otakumaru explained, Karei had already started a new game. "Okay, if she would let me, I could use my book to confirm that she's the reincarnation, but for now, this is all we got. Last time I tried, that's what got me the nickname mutt…" She sighed. The last time she had used the book to try and figure out whether Kyouko was Kouga's reincarnation, it resulted in many things being said. Karei was known to her as a dog-worshipping freak, and as a result, had gotten the nickname mutt, as mentioned.

"You can't try and walk up to random people and say, 'Hi! Can I see who you were in a past life?'" Otakumaru has now shut off his computer, finished with his WoW game. "They'll think you're crazy."

Karei shrugged. "I guess so… By the way, how's your luck finding a way in through the well?"

Otakumaru was Souta's grandson. Kagome had decided to go back in time to live with Inuyasha 50 years back. The modern era hadn't changed that often. They were just now coming out with telepathic game-play, and they already had a few robots here and there. Among the most popular was Asimo, which resembled an astronaut.

"Not very well… I've tried hard to access my hidden miko powers, but none has been successful." Otakumaru had been a bit embarrassed at first to find out his two past lives had been female, but it no longer bothered him. Karei on the other hand joked about her past incarnation, saying she couldn't believe that she was such a hot-headed male.

"Do you think the jewel's hidden with you?" Karei asked.

Otakumaru looked thoughtful for a split-second, but replied simply with, "It would have to be burned with her body…"

"Of course, none of the history books say anything on that." Karei added, with a sigh. "Even if we unseal the well, what time will we end up in? 500 years exactly, or…" A thought of heading back to the dinosaurs crossed her mind.

"I'm pretty sure it'd only be around 500 years, because that's what the well was set for. Even Kagome's powers weren't strong enough to change that set interval" Otakumaru spoke with such grace as if it were an everyday fact. He truly was a common nerd, whereas his past life had struggled with her schoolwork.

"Well, as long as we get it to work… I'd really like to see my past life…" Karei said, as she pressed the pause button on her game, before setting the controller down on the ground. "And Grandpa Sesshy…"

"Do you even know how cold he was? He probably won't believe you, or accept you…"

"Those same history books that told you what he was like ALSO said Uncle Inu betrayed Kikyo, but we've found some more recent books on Naraku that contradict that." Karei protested.

"And how do we even know either one is true?"

Karei leaned against the couch, and sighed. "Because there's no way I could be so evil in a past life… I wouldn't have it in me…"

"You really don't understand the dynamics of reincarnation, do you?"

Karei closed her eyes, defeated. "But… I don't think he would… The legends make him sound so evil… If I were that evil, would I really reincarnated into a hanyou girl, living a happy life in the modern era?"

"Maybe reincarnating into a girl was your punishment."

Karei anime-glared at Otakumaru. "What's wrong with being a girl, Otaku-chan?" She had brought up Otakumaru's past incarnations. "You were a girl in two past lives!"

"Not by choice." Otakumaru replied, not even phased. "I find it hard to believe I would end up with an irresponsible half-demon like Inuyasha, anyway." He turned red from embarrassment, realizing he was beginning to sound like his past life again. There were moments like this when his past life would shine through.

Karei saw the red on his face, being able to read people very well, and laughed. "What's the matter? Is Kagome shining through?"

Otakumaru dropped the subject, and said, "I'm gonna try and see if I can unseal the well again…"

Karei shrugged, and leaned back, putting her hands behind her head, as she relaxed. She closed her eyes, getting ready to doze off.

Otakumaru, however, got up and left, going up to his room, which just so happened to be Kagome's room. He had inherited it, and it had been remodeled ever since. The walls were a simple gray, while his bed had a dark-colored wood. The sheets were white, while the blanket was blue. He had a desk which, wouldn't you know it, had another computer. Next to the desk was a book case. He turned to the bookcase, and ran his finger along the books on the middle shelf, until he reached a worn book, which was colored gray. He pulled it out, and the title was revealed to be titled 'Reincarnations, and you'.

It was what he and Karei had been using to locate reincarnations. However, the book did have other uses. He flipped through the pages, until he reached a suitable one. He then closed the book, keeping it bookmarked with his index finger, as he exited his room. He walked down the stairs, and headed out of the house.

This time, he was sure he would access his miko power, and unseal the well…
