Chapter 1: Lost and Found

"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted as he reached for her then he too was blasted with another spell.

It was too late. The force of the witch's blast hit Kagome hard sending her flying through the air. She flew through the air and to her surprise into the well. The time portal opened and she was gone. Kagome expected to end up back in her time, but since there was no roof then she was most certainly not in the future. Had the portal not taken her anywhere?

She stood up and carefully climbed out of the well. Where was everyone? "Inuyasha? Sango? Miroku? Shippo? Kilala? Anyone here?" Kagome called out.

No one answered her. This was strange.

They had been in the middle of a battle with that witch Hatsuki.

Where was everyone?

It was then that she saw the tree of ages and tears started to fill her brown eyes. It was way too small. She had gone further back in time.

She had to go back.

She went back into the well.

Nothing.

She hopped off the ground.

Again, Kagome hopped. Again, there was no magic.

Nothing. Not even a spark of the time traveling magic that never made mistakes before.

A hour later after crying, screaming, stomping inside the stupid well that refused to open for her, exhaustion hit her, Kagome sat on the ground. Her fists clenched in frustration.

This was the worst day ever.

Her stomach growled. Great. She had to find food and find somewhere to sleep. Kagome stood up and climbed out of the well. She decided to go to the village. Someone would help her? Maybe? Well- she had no better ideas. However the closer she went to the village the more nervous that she become, because she remembered the first time; she went back in time. That village gave her a not so welcome reception. If it wasn't for Kaede then the villagers would have killed or hurt her.

She walked slower. Maybe this was not a good idea. She turned around and hit her forehead.

Think Kagome.

Where should she go?

She did not want to take her chances again with that village. Last time, she had been lucky to see her sister from her past reincarnation

Kagome went back to the tree and sat down. .

Kagome had never had to be in the feudal era alone, her friends had always been there. She could be brave since her friends were at her side, but Kagome was not stupid. The feudal era was dangerous. It was not a place for her to walk around all alone. She needed help to find another witch to fix the well.

Where on earth was she going to find a witch? It is not like there is a phone book or internet here.

Kagome could not do this alone. Kagome prayed that she would not be killed, but she swore when she got home that she would train as hard as Sango, to become as skilled as Kikiyo. If she knew that a day like this could happen then she would have trained for it, but she thought she would never be alone. There was no need to train. Stupid her. She should have seen this day coming.

Suddenly, her powers swept through her.

How could it be?

He was here.

She could sense him and all her bad feelings evaporated.

Kagome stood up and ran as fast as she could to find him. He was so fast. It was then that she saw the red haori. He stopped running. Her heart screamed in happiness. Kagome was so relieved and not thinking at all. All her fears and worries had evaporated as she ran. She just wanted to be in his arms.

She wanted a hug and for him to comfort her.

"Inuyasha!" she screamed before she jumped, Inuyasha moved out the way, and she fell to the floor on her knees.

Oops. No hug then.

He stared at her as if she was insane. Kagome's mind started to piece together the moments. His fierce scowl, claws flexed, and his fighting stance.

Oh- yea. He didn't know her. She was in the wrong time. He did look the same as the last time that she had seen him except that he stared at her suspiciously.

Kagome stayed on the ground. She could not find the will to stand up. This was the worst day. Her nerves felt fried. Tears started to fill her wanted to hold it back, but she could not. Kagome cried from the sting of pain on her knees, her frustration, fear, and she was hungry.

Inuyasha amber eyes swirled in confusion and sympathy, "Are you okay?"

"Yes- No!" she wailed pathetically. Nothing was okay at all. This was a terrible day. First, they had searched all morning for a false lead on Naraku, and then came back only to be attacked by that witch who messed up the well, and then she fell in the well.

Now she was in the wrong time, and her knees hurt, she was hungry, and she was with the wrong Inuyasha. Who probably thought that she was crazy.

Inuyasha relaxed his stance, "Wench. Stop crying."

He called her wench. Kagome counted to ten. He did not know her. She could not say the sit command. Well- she could, but he would not know what that was. If he got mad, he might not help her. This was not the Inuyasha that knew her. He could easily abandon her. There was no journey to force them together.

She was just a lost girl and he was a boy passing through.

"I''m sorry." Kagome said as she tried to calm her stressed nerves. She wiped her tears.

Inuyasha frowned. "Are you lost or something?"

Lost? She nodded. She was lost in time. Her heart ached and she wanted to cry again.

"Stop making all that noise. I will help you find your folks." Inuyasha offered gruffly.

Kagome's jaw dropped. Inuyasha offered to help her. Inuyasha offered to help a stranger. Usually, she always had to force him to be helpful.

"Really?" she asked before she could stop herself.

He nodded. "Anything if you will stop making those awful noises. You are hurting my ears."

Kagome laughed and just like that her tears dried up. "You are so nice." she said in awe.

Inuyasha wrinkled his nose in disgust. "I am a lot of things but nice is not one of them."

"Sure." Kagome smiled.

He tensed up. "Wench, stand up. Something's coming fast."

That is when Kagome felt the very unfriendly demonic aura head straight for them. Automatically, she stood, reached for her arrow, went to stand next to Inuyasha. Forgetting again that he had never fought with her. Forgetting that he was not her Inuyasha. Missing the look that he gave her.

The panther demon walked into the clearing and stared them down. "Half-demon, you are the son of the dog demon that killed my father. Today, I will take your life in exchange."

Kagome aimed her arrow at the demon, "Inuyasha didn't kill your father, so you have reason to be here. Leave before we kill you."

The panther demon hissed at the priestess power surrounding her, "Priestess, I will enjoy ripping your throat out."

"You won't touch her," Inuyasha growled as he leaped to attack the panther demon with his claws.

Kagome tried to find an opening to attack. They were moving fast, but she had to help him. She just needed an opening.

When she saw Inuyasha jump back from the panther demon's attack that is when she fired. The arrow glowed bright blue and went straight through the demon's heart purifying him.

Inuyasha stood still in shock.

The forest was silent.

She was so happy that she wanted to cheer, so she leaped to hug him and he let her. He was still her Inuyasha. The one that would always protect her. Everything was going to be okay. She pulled back. Their eyes met and she flashed him a bright smile full of all her love, joy, stupid hope, forgetting that he was not her Inuyasha.

Inuyasha stared at her and she could not speak. He had never looked at her like that before. It made her insides turn, her heartbeat faster, and everything felt like it was standing still.

Her and him.

Like there was no one else in the world. She was overwhelmed and her mind became mush. He had never looked at her like that before.

All her words escaped her breathlessly, as she waited for him to break the moment. What was she doing? Ahhhh- She pulled away from him and her cheeks turned red.

Then as quickly as it never happened. He looked away, Inuyasha sniffed the air. "It's about to rain. Are you coming or what?" he said before he walked away from her.

Wait.

Maybe this was wrong. She did not want to mess up time. There were enough problems in her life besides her creating more problems. She should not follow him. This was trouble. This could not lead to anything good. Kagome needed to grow up, solve her own problems, or find someone else to help her. All her instincts screamed at her at the wrongness of this.

He stopped and turned around. "Are you hurt?"

Her heart shook. Since when did Inuyasha talk to her in such a gentle voice? She could not answer.

He misinterpreted her silence then he walked up to her, picked her up in his arms, "Relax, I will carry you. It is the least I can do."

Kagome leaned against Inuyasha's chest and the shock of his actions brought tears to her eyes again.

This was a huge mistake, but right now while she was safe in his arms, and that is all that mattered.
