Chapter 1: Into the Mysterious Well

The sun shined brightly in Tokyo as the birds flew and chirped their peaceful songs. Minako took in a deep breath of fresh air before closing her house door. She wore a white skirt and a pink sleeveless turtleneck blouse. On her right shoulder she carried a mini backpack to hold in any necessary needs.

Her blond hair blew with the breeze that would pass by her as she headed to the temple not too far away. Her best friend, Rei, lived in the temple with her grandfather as she helped the old man with the temple chores.

Seeing the red roof of the temple up ahead she began to quicken her pace towards the gigantic steps leading up to the temple. Before resuming up the sandstone stairs, Minako took in a deep breath again and positioned her backpack properly.

'Ok, this time I'm going to reach the temple in just four minutes.' The blond thought to herself confidently.

The steps to the temple were the longest stairways in Tokyo and it was said that no one could reach the temple in less than five minutes. Only Rei's grandfather was able to in his younger years. He held the world record for five minutes.

Minako walked backwards a couple of feet away from the steps before bending down as if in a race. She had one foot in front of her while the other foot was positioned behind.

Setting her eyes on the fifth step, she took off, letting the foot in the back push her to make her go faster. Once she was close to the steps she took a leap into the air landing on the fifth steps. When her legs made contact with the stonework step, she began to run up the long stairway taking in deep breaths to make sure she didn't run out of air.

Minako was known to be the best in P.E in her class and she simply adored sports. She played on the Volleyball team in her school and she could master any sport that anyone shoved down her throat. She was kind and gentle to everyone who wanted to be friends. Although she was clumsy and would be very naive at times, she was still liked by everyone who knew her.

Minako took another leap, jumping over three steps and then made another leap. But this time she landed on the edge of the steps and lost her balance.

"AAAHHHH!!!!!" she screamed, moving her arms franticly to get control of her stability.

But she did not succeed as she fell backwards and rolled down the stairway, landing on the dirt floor at the bottom. Minako groaned, slowly sitting up. She swore a little as she rubbed her back where she landed on her backpack.

"Man, I'm not going to try that again." She groaned to herself. Back on her feet, she just walked up the stairs one by one, her back still aching.

Sweeping the entrance of the shrine, Rei looked up to see the crows landing on the nearby pine trees. They each made their awful cries out to each other as they fought over a branch.

'Geez, Minako's late.' The raven haired girl complained to herself as she watched the top of the stairs.

Rei and Minako had been best friends since they were little and were always around for the other many times. She wore the temple's red robe and left her hair down as usual.

Rei was known to be very good at fortunetelling and was said she could do fire readings. No one knew if this was true except for Minako and her grandfather.

Rei was the opposite of Minako. She had a very bad temper and hated sports. She mastered school though, being one of the top smartest in her class, unlike Minako who was almost failing.

Though, Rei did have some common things between her and her best friend. They both were liked by everyone and loved boys, although Minako was a bit more boy-crazy than she was and was a more liked than the raven haired girl. Rei guessed it was because of her short temper.

Thinking about her best friend, Rei looked at her watch. Minako was supposed to arrive around noon and now it was ten minutes after. Continuing her chore she heard puffing and wheezing heading her way from the steps.

'Minako' she thought as a smile spread on her face.

She could tell that Minako had tried to break the world record again. Rei placed her broom near the wall and went inside the shrine to get her blond exhausted friend a glass of water.

Coming out again she walked to Minako greeting her with the drink. The moment Minako saw the glass filled with the clear liquid she snatched the cup instantly and gulped it down.

"Let me guess, no such luck right?" Rei predicted, looking her friend over. Minako had plopped on the top step, trying to get her breath back.

"Yeah... Darn it!!!! I can never seem to beat your grandfather's record!" Minako complained. "Hmm... maybe I can ask him how he was able to." Minako started to think out loud after recovering from the long climb up the stairs.

"Give it a brake Minako. My grandfather was very young when he scored such a high point. Besides, he was well trained to do stuff like that."

Rei's was right. Her grandfather was a skilled fighter when it came to karate or any type of Japanese fighting. He had been trained since he was five and was a black belt in all fighting styles. He had begun to teach Minako and Rei some of his skills two years ago and Minako simple adored the training.

"Come on; let's go in so I can change."

Minako was helped up by Rei who pulled her into the temple with her. When passing Rei's bedroom, Minako noticed a jewel with a silver string lying on a mattress. It looked like a beautiful necklace to the blond.

"Hey Rei, what's this?" Minako asked, picking up the crystal.

"That? My grandfather found it a while ago. He told me a story about it." Rei answered, combing her hair and looking at herself in the mirror.

"Really? Like what?" Minako asked, just when Rei short grandfather passed the room. He heard the conversation and turned back.

"It's called the Shikon no Tama, the jewel of the four souls. It is said it holds great powers and was wanted by every living soul in the past of Japan." Rei's grandfather spoke up, startling to two girls and making them snap their heads towards the door.

"Hello grandpa!" Minako greeted with a smile. She was ordered by Rei's grandfather to call him grandpa. He seemed to like it when people referred to him like that.

"Nice to see you again Minako. Are you here for some training?" Grandfather asked the blond as he walked into Rei's room.

"Nope, sorry grandpa. We're going to the new store at the mall." Rei answered for Minako.

"Oh, well that's nice. Hope you have a great time." At that, Rei's grandfather turned to leave when Minako stopped him.

"Wait a sec, can you finish telling me the story about this jewel?" Minako asked. She, unlike Rei, loved to listen to Rei's grandfather's stories and believed each one of them.

A smile spread across the old man's face as he turned back to her and sat opposite her on the floor. He was always grateful with Minako curiosity. It kept him busy when the temple was empty.

"Well, a long time ago, in the beginning of Japan, demons roamed the earth" the old temple owner began, trying to make his voice sound scary.

Rei, who was done getting the knots out of her hair, turned around to hear her grandfather telling Minako his lame tale. Rei had already heard it a thousands time and was getting sick of it. Rolling her eyes, she went into her dresser and went into the bathroom to change.

"The Shikon no Tama was very powerful and could turn demons into humans or humans into demons. Like I said, it was wanted by all. So the priestess of a town that owned the Shikon no Tama, Kikyou, guarded it with her life. She had special magical power to use her bow and arrow to kill any demon that would try to get away with the jewel."

A gasped escaped Minako's mouth as she started to get into the story. She felt a rush of excitement brush over her, wanting him to continue.

"Soon after, a half demon boy came to her and they fell in love. He promised her that he would only use the Shikon no Tama to turn him into a human so they could be together. She believed him but then was deceived. No one is sure how it truly ended but some say the priestess was killed by the half demon but was able to pin him to the tree for life with her magic arrow before she died." Rei's grandfather finished as Minako gazed down on the jewel.

'It's so beautiful. It must hold great power in it.' Minako thought.

She looked up at Rei's grandfather and asked, "What about the Shikon no Tama? What ever happened to it?"

"The Shikon no Tama was nowhere to be seen after the boy demon was pinned to the tree. I found the jewel near the well a long time ago. A traveler came by the temple a year ago and told me the same story when he saw it. He also said that the well outside of this temple was magical and could bring someone with special powers to the past of Japan." The old man answered while getting up.

"Wow, for real? That old well is like a time portal?" Minako asked shocked as Rei's grandfather nodded his head.

"Well, I have things to do now. Hope you have fun today Minako."

Rei grandfather said his goodbyes to the blond and called out to Rei saying to be home on time for dinner before exiting the room. Minako looked at the jewel known as the Shikon no Tama.

She heard Rei open the bathroom door, joining her in the room. Looking up, Minako saw Rei wearing a black mini skirt and a red top. Her hair was down as usual.

"Don't tell me you believe him" Rei said sarcastically when seeing the excited glint in her friend's blue eyes.

"Why not believe it? It could be true." Minako answered, getting up and wrapping the necklace around Rei's neck. After finishing she let go of it, making it fall down. The two best friends turned towards the mirror to see the jewel on Rei.

"Besides, it looks pretty on you." Minako commented cheerfully. She turned and swung her backpack over her. "We better get going. Come on Rei." Minako pointed her thumb to the door.

"Alright then" Rei answer, positioning her hair behind her ears. She went after her best friend closing her door behind her.

The two girls were about to go down the steps of the temple when Minako stopped. Seeing Minako suddenly not walking beside her, Rei turned around in curiosity.

"What's the matter?" she asked when seeing Minako looked back at the temple.

Minako turned Rei again as a smile started to spread across her face. "Come on Rei, let's go check out the well!"

Before Re could protest, Minako grabbed her hand and yanked her to the back of the temple, towards a small shed in the back. The old well came into view as the two girls approached it.

"This is so stupid Minako. Come on, let's just go." Rei complained as Minako examined the well.

"Rei, your grandfather said that only people with special magic can bring people back to the past. I was thinking, maybe you could. You know, since you have the ability to read fire." Minako pointed out when stepping away from the well and turning to her pouting raven haired friend.

Rei rolled her eyes and was about to walk away when she stopped dead. She was getting a weird feeling coming out of the well. 'What the?' Rei asked silently, gluing her eyes on the well.

Minako looked oddly at Rei, noticing her behavior and her bewildered look. The blond turned to look at the well to see what had captivated her friend's interest when she felt the same feeling Rei felt.

"What's that?" Minako asked, stepping closer to the well and peering in.

She leaned in closer to the entrance when she felt the feeling increase. Leaning in closer she stood on her tiptoes and held onto the edge of the well for support.

"Hmm... strange, I feel something's in there..." she said mostly to herself as she squinted her eyes to get a better look.

But being the clumsy girl that she is, she leaned in more and lost grip of her hold on the well.

"REI!" she shrieked for her friend to help as her full body fell in.

The raven haired girl snapped out of her trance and went back to reality. She saw Minako falling in. Her eyes went wide with fright as she ran and took hold of her friend's leg, making sure to not let go.

"Rei! Something's pulling me in!" she heard Minako scream to her.

"Don't worry Minako, I have you... I won't let... go..." she tried to say as she gnashed your teeth together to get a better hold of her foot on the ground.

But she was being pulled in as well; feet were practically being dragged on the dirt.

"What's going on here?!" Rei asked shocked. She was suddenly slammed into the well. Clenching her teeth tighter she tried to keep her hold on Minako. But she failed as the force became even stronger and yanked her in with Minako.

"AAHHH!" both girls screamed, falling into darkness, making their vision black...
