I am pretty sure that my new life started with one phrase "But mom I don't want to move!" Not that my mom really cared, or so I thought with how mad I was at her. She was moving herself, Sota, and me to mom's hometown Karakura town. She was tired of me always looking towards the well house and spending all my free time under the god tree. She thought that I was becoming depressed and wanted for me to get a change of scenery. While I had been in the feudal era she had gotten a job offer there, but declined because she knew that I had to finish the jewel. Which I did and the jewel was now back inside of me. I had wished for it to disappear, it is going to but only when I die which is slightly annoying. The only good thing is that there are no demons in this time to come after the jewel.

So here I was on my way to school at my new school and I was desperately lost. I lived too close for the bus to be able to pick me up and I had been too stubborn to find it beforehand. I was tired and I sighed in defeat. I slumped against a wall and sat down for a moment, just to collect myself. I looked to my side and I saw a small vase with a few flowers in it. And right next to that was a small ghost girl looking right at me. I tried as hard as I could to ignore the ghosts. I started being able to see them after the feudal era, my only theory was it was a side effect of the Shikon jewel fusing with me. The only thing is I have a really soft spot for kids, I smiled at her and she jumped up surprised "OH you can see me!"

"Yes I can, but let's just keep it between us huh."

"Okay! I have a favor though, there is a bunch of people that come by every day and they always knock over my vase. I have asked them to stop every day, but they can't hear me. Do you think you could ask them to stop?"

"Sure I guess so, when are they usually around?"

"In a couple minutes actually, so you'll do it?" The little girl was looking at me like I was her savior. I really couldn't say no so I nodded my head yes and waited for the group to come by.

A few minutes later a bunch of delinquents on skateboards came around the corner. They made tight turns and one of them knocked over the vase breaking it. The next person to come through crushed the flowers that were in it. To be honest I don't think that they realized they did it, but it boiled my blood. I picked up a rock and threw it as hard as I could at the boy who had knocked over the vase. The rock flew through the air and hit the boy on the head.

The entire group stopped at once. There were five of them and even though I was outnumbered if it came down to a fight I knew that I would win. That's what I get for being kidnapped for a month and a half by Sesshomaru. He practically kidnapped me then said he was going to train me, and train me he did. He trained me in hand to hand combat and combat with a sword. He even helped me with my archery, which I was very grateful for. But anyway the leader stopped at turned around to look at me, eyes blazing. "What was that for girl?" a tick mark appeared on my forehead by him calling me girl.

"What do you think it was for?" I pointed over to the smashed vase and flowers. "What do those look like to you?"

Another boy answered "I don't know looks like a memorial vase or something."

A different boy added on "Yeah a broken one, what of it?"

I started to get even angrier. "You broke it with your reckless skateboarding, that's what. I want you to stop breaking these memorial vases. Do you realize how disrespectful that is?"

The leader spoke up again, coming at me with violence in mind "Yeah and what are you going to do about it? Huh girl, you're just a nobody. We don't need another Kurosaki around, one is enough. Compared to him you are nothing, just an annoying girl."

Who is Kurosaki? I noticed that the leader was about to attack me, and I was all for fighting. I was having a bad day anyway so why not. Before I could though the jerk was stopped by a foot in the face. It was almost comical how scared the rest of the delinquents were. Ah so this must be Kurosaki, interesting. I turned to see a boy my age. He was a lot taller than me, in fact I only came to about his shoulder. He had bright orange hair and although he looked like a delinquent himself I could tell that he was a very nice person.

"What have I told you before about these memorials? And now you are attacking a girl?" Kurosaki asked the group in a dangerous voice.

The whole group, leader included, all yelled "I'm sorry." At the same then ran off as fast as they could. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing at the sight.

I turned to Kurosaki and gave him a small bow "Thank you for saving me." I told him. Even though I could have easily handled the situation myself. I saw some wild flowers growing nearby so I quickly went over and picked them. The bottom half of the vase was still more or less intact. There was still some water in the vase, which I was thankful for. I put the flowers I picked in there and smiled at the ghost girl. Thinking about what I could say that wouldn't make Kurosaki think I as crazy I finally said "There you go, not as nice as before but it will do."

The girl came up to me and smiled "Thank you for standing up to those bullies." Then she waved at me and disappeared. I only nodded slightly then turned to Kurosaki.

He was looking at me a bit strangely, but I figured I was still safe enough. I realized that he was wearing the same uniform I was and I sighed in relief. "Oh thank god, I am hopelessly lost. I am looking for Karakura high school. Do you think you could possibly show me the way?"

"Huh? Yeah, sure, I guess." He started walking away "Follow me it's this way." We walked in silence for a while and I could feel him watching me curiously. "So you must be new here, where did you move from?"

I smiled up at him "Yeah, I just moved here from Tokyo."

"Tokyo? That's a nice city. Why did you move here?"

"Mom wanted a change I guess. I don't know really, all she said was it would be good for me. Not like I had a choice, but oh well."

Suddenly we were right in front of a gigantic school. "Wow this school is a lot bigger than my old school." I turned to Kurosaki "Thank you for showing me the way, I have to head to the office now." He pointed me in the general direction. I smiled and waved at him.

Ten minutes later I was once again hopelessly lost. Ugh I hate this town. I decided that I would ask the next person that I saw for directions. Ah there was a boy turning the corner towards me. I walked over and stopped in front of him, forcing him to stop. "Um hi, I am new here and I'm hopelessly lost. Do you think you could show me to the office?"

He looked at me for a moment then pushed up his glasses saying "Sure follow me."

"Oh thank you, I hate being lost." We walked down a few hallways when I stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes went wide with fear and terror crawled into my whole body. The boy saw me stop and must have seen the terror in my eyes.

"What is the matter?" he looked around concerned.

I needed an excuse and I needed one now. "I just remembered that I forgot something extremely important at home." I turned around and ran as fast as I could. To my annoyance the boy was chasing me, obviously not believing my story. I needed to lose him, then I needed to find a spot with no people. I saw a group of people and I maneuvered my way around them, hopefully losing the boy in the crowd. I felt it coming towards me and I needed to get away from a bunch of innocent people that would die if the demon found me with them around. I wish I had my bow with me. I looked behind me quick and I didn't see the boy with the glasses so I assume that I lost him in the crowd, good. I made it to the main doors and I ran out them. I vaguely noticed that I ran past Kurosaki and a bunch of people who were lingering outside yet. I ran out the front gates toward the direction of a river that I remembered seeing when we came to the town.

I felt it start chasing me, oh god what in the world is a demon doing here? I was a fast runner due to my time in the feudal era, but this demon was catching up and fast. I needed a weapon. I looked around but didn't see anything and I cursed my luck today. Just as I saw the river bank, and thankfully no people, the demon caught up. The reason I know that is because it hit me in the back and I went flying. When I rolled to a stop I moaned "Owwww!"

I looked at the demon, it seemed to be a lower class demon but I couldn't tell was kind it was supposed to be. "Hehehe. I knew that I sensed you coming this way Miko. You probably don't remember me, but why would you. Me just a lowly demon, why would a high and mighty Miko remember me? He was right, you are here. This place that you live is very strange Miko. Lots of buildings, weird buildings, and not much nature. I don't like it here, but he said that if I killed you I would be able to go back."

I looked at him like he was crazy "You know you talk a lot. And when did we meet? No scratch that I don't particularly care all that much. What I want to know is who is he?"

The demon looked at me like I was stupid "What do you mean who is he? You of all people should know Miko, you are the main group fighting him."

My eyes went wide "No that is not possible. Naraku is dead. We killed him. I saw him turn to dust." I moved my hand a bit and my fingers touched something. I looked over and saw a stick, well that would have to do.

"Time to die Miko." The demon came at me. I grabbed the stick and infused my Miko powers into it like I do my arrows. Something Kaede had taught me how to do. As the demon lunged at me I brought up the now glowing pink stick. The demon saw it, but couldn't stop himself in time. The stick hit him and cut him just a bit, but that bit was just enough to poor my Miko-ki into him. He let out a scream of pain as he felt himself being purified. He started crumbling to dust before. "Curse you Miko. I am just the first of many. Naraku has opened a path to this world and has given free passage to any demon that wishes you dead. You will die Miko, now that you are all alone here. Naraku will get the Shikon jewel, just you watch."

"Yeah I've heard that one before." With that he turned to dust. I collapsed onto the ground utterly exhausted. I haven't had to use that much of my Miko-ki in a long time. "Ahhhhhhhh!" I yelled out in frustration. "Why me?" getting up I was kinda sore, but I started heading back towards the school muttering "I hate demons, I mean really can't they just leave me alone?"

I started toward the way that I came only to realize I had no idea where I was. "Ugh really? Today totally sucks! First I get lost on my way to my new school, get stopped by delinquents, get lost again on the way to the office, sense a demon who by the way should not even exist anymore, have to ditch a persistent guy with glasses, get attacked by the demon I sensed, only to get lost again! I absolutely hate being lost!" I walked a few more feet before stopping and sighing, in a calmer voice now "Which way is the school again?" I asked thin air. Sighing I started to walk back in the general direction that I think the school is.

What I didn't notice were the two people that had seen everything.

It took about an hour and asking three different people for directions, but I finally made it. Unfortunately for me it was right after lunch so I wouldn't be able to eat anything until I get home. I was waiting for the lunch bell to ring signifying that class would start. My head thunked down on my desk and I moaned "I'm so hungry."

I felt somebody tap my back and I flinched, still jumpy from the demon attack. I looked at who was trying to get my attention, it was a pretty orange haired girl. "Um, hi. I noticed that you weren't here for lunch. And it looks like you are hungry." She reached into her bag "It's not much, but I have some energy bars you could have."

I immediately perked up "Really?!"

She smiled at me "Yeah it's no problem."

I smiled gratefully at her "Oh thank you so much. I didn't have any breakfast this morning. Then when I got here I realized that I forgot my acceptance papers at home so I went to get them. Then I got hopelessly lost, so I didn't make it back here in time for lunch."

"Really it is no problem." With that she walked back to her desk and I dug into the energy bars with gusto.

School seemed to fly by, which I was grateful for. I was starting my walk home when the orange haired girl showed up with a group of people. In the group was Kurosaki and the guy with the glasses. Wow small world. There was also a very large Spanish looking guy, two other boys, and two other girls. There was also a small black haired girl (She was smaller than me ;p) and a guy with spiky red hair.

"I'm such an airhead sometimes, I realized that I had never gotten your name." the orange haired girl said.

"That's right introductions were never made. My name is Kagome Higurashi."

"My name is Orihime Inoue, then these are my friends; Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida, Chad, Keigo, Mizuiro, Tatsuki, Chizuru, Rukia Kuchiki, and Renji Abarai." Orihime introduced everyone. Well at least I now had names to go to faces.

"It is very nice to meet all of you. I must be getting home now though." I really did need to get home, and tell mom and Sota about my demon run in. I started turning to walk home when Orihime stopped me.

"Would you like to walk with us? We are heading in the same direction you are." I almost said no, I really did, but the moment that I looked at the puppy dog eyes she was giving me I knew I couldn't say no.

I sighed "Yeah, sure. Why not."

"Great!" then we all started walking away from the school. Everyone was talking to someone about something. I personally was just happy listening.

I was warned by Tatsuki to stay away from Chizuru, apparently she was like a female Miroku. I saw that Uryu was coming to talk to me, probably asking why I ran off so suddenly earlier, I didn't feel like trying to explain myself so I started to talk to Rukia and Renji. Renji and I were actually having a really good debate, we were arguing which was better Oden or Ramen. I was in the middle of an argument when I felt another one. What the heck? Two in one day? One was bizarre enough, but two? I stopped in the middle of my argument. Both Ichigo and Uryu stopped and looked at me like they knew something, I would get to that later. Right now I needed to get away from these nice people. "Gosh I and such scatter brain sometimes, sorry everyone I forgot something at school. I'll walk with you guys tomorrow, kay?" without even waiting for an answer from then I took off in the direction we had come from. As soon as I was out of view of them I split away from the path of school, there were still a lot of kids there because of after school activities. When I got to a construction site, that was unoccupied, I stopped and looked around. I found what I was looking for. It was a broken piece of pipe, jagged at one end. From my training with Miroku I was pretty dangerous with a staff.

Then out of nowhere it appeared in front of me. It looked a lot like Goshinki did, only this one was green and had black hair. I was way way way out of my league here. It took everything Inuyasha had to beat Goshinki, I sensed that he was just as powerful, if not more so. I was sunk here, my little piece of pipe wouldn't do anything to a demon as strong as Goshinki. "Are you prepared to die Miko? My name is Keshin. Naraku wants the Shikon jewel, and I want you dead for killing Goshinki my brother."

"Wait wasn't Goshinki an incarnation of Naraku, how can you be his brother?"

"Naraku kept me hidden so I could become stronger and surpass my brother, which I did. So I will kill you Miko for playing a part in my brother's destruction."

Yup today was the day that I died. I looked at the pipe in my hand, and Keshin must have noticed as well because the next thing I knew I was flying backwards and I hit a support beam of the building. Keshin grabbed the fallen pipe and a wicked sneer came on his face. "Did you honestly thing that you could kill me with this broken piece of metal?" He then proceeded to jab the broken end of the pipe into my thigh. I screamed out in pain, but he put me at an advantage. He had gotten close enough. I focused my Miko-ki into my palms and grabbed onto the arm that was holding the pipe. Within seconds that arm had been purified.

I smiled at him "Tell me, how does it feel to be purified?" he glared pure hatred at me. First I had helped kill his brother, then I purified his arm. With great pain I pulled out the pipe out and jammed it into side and poured as much Miko-ki I could into him. He purified, slowly very slowly, but he did purify. I collapsed onto the ground trying to catch my breath. Once I was sure I wasn't going to pass out I started working on healing my leg. Unfortunately I couldn't do it all of the way, because of how much power I had needed purifying Keshin, but I got the worst of it. I would defiantly have a major limp tomorrow. I got up and made my way back home, once again not noticing the two people who had seen everything.
