Chapter 4: Enter Sengoku Jidai


Kagome took her time to explain to me that I had crossed over into the Feudal Era by jumping into the well at her home. She told me about the dangers lurking in the dark forests and villages. She introduced me to Inuyasha, the dog demon, Sango, the demon exterminator, Miroku, the wandering monk, and Shippou, the orphan kitsune. All of them were very kind to me, except for Inuyasha, who viewed my presence as a nuinsance.
"Feh...just don't get in my way...", Inuyasha told me
I had no intention of bothering the dog demon in any shape or form.
"Hachi...How did you get through the well?", Kagome asked.
"What? I....uh...just jumped in?", I answered, still puzzled.
"You would need to haave a piece of the shikon jewel", Miroku stated. He eyed me suspiciously and smiled.
"Though it is an honor to have another beauty within my presence", Miroku bowed. He also made me aware that he would like me to bear his child. I declined. The female demon exterminator smacked him.
"Hentai...", she grumbled.
"Enough of this, let's take her to Kaede and figure this out, we have jewel shards to find!", Inuyasha spat.
"Jewel shards?", I questioned.
"Yes, like these ones...", Kagome said and held up the tiny jar hanging on a necklace.
"I...I...I", I stuttered as my shaky hand revealed the three shards resting in my palm.
The entire group stood in shock.
"Hachi, where did you find those?", Kagome asked, wide-eyed.
"I...I found them at school", I lied.
"Did you sense them?", Sango jumped in.
"I...don't know, I just found them...", I lied again.
"Give them to Kagome, girl", Inuyasha glared at me.
"Inuyasha...she found them, it's her choice", Kagome stated.
"I'd like to keep them", I blushed. I had to find out why they had made me feel so strange...
"Very well, make sure to keep them safe", Kagome smiled.
We headed to Kaede's hut, as I prepared myself for more lying...
