Summary: After the final battle with Naraku, the Jewel believes that Kagome needs a love life. So what better way then sending her to a different world and bonding her to a cold-hearted killer?

Disclaimer: Okay people, if I owned either Naruto or Inuyasha, I wouldn't be writing this fic for free, would I? (The answer is NO. I don't own them, so I'm not rich or famous.)

Chapter One: My life sucks. Need I say more?

This sucks. But let me make that clearer for you. When I say 'this sucks,' I mean this really, really, really sucks.

Here I am, currently soaked to the bone, tied to a tree, in the middle of some weird alternate universe forest, being watched over by a man with gills and the devil himself. Who are ignoring me while discussing traveling plans and what is best to do with me.

My stomach starts to growl. The gill boy looks at me, smirks and takes a bite out of his roasted rabbit, while the devil just glares at me before going back to discussing traveling plans with his partner. Stupid aqua man wanna' be.

Yup, this really sucks. But perhaps I should start from the beginning?

This all started this morning...

-Flashback-

It had been three months since the defeat of Naraku. It was a hard battle, but everyone made it out okay in the end. Sesshomaru joined up with us about a month before and started to travel with us after all of the shards had been found. Kouga joined us two weeks before the final battle.

The most surprising appearance was Kikyo, who showed up a month before the battle. She had finally come to terms with what happened with her and Inuyasha, 

and she no longer wanted to take him to hell with her. It was hard at first, but after Inuyasha and I talked about it, we were able to push our feelings for each other to a more sibling / best friend relationship.

Miroku was facing the hordes of demons while Kouga and Ayame faced off with Kagura. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were fighting together for once in their life. Kikyo and I were firing arrows at the demons who got to close to the demon brothers, as Shippo used his fox magic to keep the demons that got too close at bay until one of us could kill it. Meanwhile, Sango was trying to knock Kohaku unconscious without hurting him.

After a hour of fighting, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha attacked at the same time - completely obliterating Naraku's body and leaving a floating head in the air that kind of freaked me out. Naraku started to form his body back together using what was left of the horde of demons, laughing and mocking us the whole time about how we would never kill him and how he was going to kill us slowly.

"Kanna, now! While he's still regenerating!" Kagura shouted.

Naraku looked to the edge of the battlefield, and we all looked with him to see Kanna plunge a dagger into the infant's heart in her arms and twist. Pulling it out, she gave Kagura a small smile.

Naraku started to cough up blood and held out his hand. Two small red orbs appeared in it. He smirked as he smashed them before disintegrating to ash.

Everyone paused, stunned. Was it really that freakin' easy? Miroku hesitantly pulled pointed his away from everyone, and then pulled off the prayer beads. Nothing happened.

"He's dead," Miroku whispered in disbelief as he fell to his knees. He brought his hand in front of his face, and looked at the smooth center of his hand. His curse was really gone.

Suddenly an ear-to-ear smile split the monk's face. "He's dead!" Miroku shouted, jumping up. He rushed over to a still shocked Sango, hugged her, and spun her in a circle before kissing her full on the lips. Shocked for a moment, she didn't do anything, then she kissed him back for a while before she tore away from him and, ran over to Kohaku.

After that, everyone came out of their shocked states. Inuyasha, getting the idea from Miroku, ran over to Kikyo and kissed her in a rare show of public affection.

Meanwhile, Kouga was trying to pull Ayame off his arm, as she was trying to kiss him like everyone else was doing.

Shippo jumped into my arms and hugged me while laughing. I looked over to Sesshomaru, to see him looking out of place a little as for what to do, so I ran over to him and hugged him as well. He smiled down at me and placed his hand on my head.

Suddenly, I remembered about the jewel. I pulled away from Sesshomaru and raced over to the black-tinted jewel lying innocently on the ground. I carefully picked it up and purified it. When it was completely purified, I added the shards from my bottle and combined them. Now only missing three shards, the jewel laid peacefully in my hands.

I looked back over to Sesshomaru and nodded. He gave a single nod and we both walked over to where Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku were.

"Inuyasha, stop making out long enough to get over here." I got his attention.

"Yeah, Kagome?"

"Sesshomaru and I want to try something on Kohaku and Kikyo." Sango's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"We're going to try to bring Kohaku and Kikyo back to life without him having to use a jewel shard, or her using dead souls. I'm going to give Sesshomaru the jewel shards." Inuyasha looked like he was going to blow. "Sit. He's going to try bringing Kohaku and Kikyo back to life. But we're not sure if Tensaiga will work normally because they have been dead so long. So we're going to temporarily use the jewel shards, in hopes that they will make it more likely to work," I explained.

"Do you think that it'll work?" Sango asked.

"There's only one way to find out. We're going to try it on Kikyo first, so that, if it works, we'll know it's okay to take the jewel shard out of Kohaku." Everyone nodded, understanding.

I handed the jewel shards to Sesshomaru, and he placed them on the hilt of Tensaiga and wrapped a piece of cloth around the jewel to make sure it would stay on. He looked over at Kikyo.

"Come here and lay down." Kikyo did as she was told and, laid down in a place that wasn't covered in too much demon blood.

Sesshomaru stared down at her until you could see the glow of Tensaiga pulsing. Slowly pulling out the sword, he swiped it over Kikyo's body twice.

Nothing happened. Everyone let out the breath they were holding in disappointment. Suddenly Kikyo let out a scream. All of the souls in her started shooting out.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled as ran over to her. "What did you do?" he yelled at Sesshomaru, who looked just as shocked as his brother.

Kikyo stopped screaming once the last soul had left her. Suddenly, she started to pulse. Slowly, her pale skin started to gain more color and her breathing seemed more natural. Kikyo sat up in Inuyasha's lap and looked at her hands. "I'm alive," she whispered in disbelief. Inuyasha hugged her close to him and his eyes started to water.

"Inuyasha..." Sango hesitated, "are you crying?"

"No! It's just started raining is all! I don't cry!"

Everyone just gave him an amused look.

"What! It's rain I tell you, rain!"

"I don't see any rain clouds," Shippo pointed out with a sly look. "I think that you're crying like a baby, Inuyasha."

"Shut up, you little runt! No one asked you!"

"So what happen with Kikyo?" Sango asked.

"I think I know." Everyone turned their attention to the monk. "I believe that her soul was rejecting all of the other souls, similar to how Kagome's text book talks about blood cells attacking cells that don't belong. Or it could be that Sesshomaru just resurrected all of those souls because of the extra power of the Shikon Jewel shards. So, if we hear about women from all over coming back to life, we'll know why."

"Indeed," Sesshomaru nodded.

Inuyasha smirked and looked at Sesshomaru. "Hey Sesshomaru," Inuyasha gently pushed Kikyo off his lap and stood up. "I want you to know that even though you brought Kikyo back to life, you'll have to continue to fight me to the death to get the Tessaiga. If you can even get up the courage to face me, that is. But knowing you, you're too stubborn to give it up, so after this I'll be seeing you around." Inuyasha looked the other way with a small smirk on his face.

"What Inuyasha is trying to say is he's thankful for you bringing Kikyo back and is proud that you're his half-brother," Miroku translated for Sesshomaru.

"Hn. Thank Kagome, she's the one who thought of it," Sesshomaru stated. "And yes, I will be seeing you around, half-breed. But don't think that I need that insufficient sword; I'm having Totosai forge a blade of my own fang."

"Ahh, look, a bother bonding moment," I commented. Both brothers turned to glare at me, so I quickly hid behind Sango.

"Boy," Sesshomaru said. Kohaku nodded and laid down where Kikyo previously was. Sesshomaru nodded his approval and drew his sword. The Tensaiga pulsed a couple of times before he slashed over Kohaku's body. As everyone held their breath, out of the corner of my eye I noticed Sango grip Miroku's hand for support. Kohaku's chest started to rise and fall as color came back to his pale skin.

Sesshomaru motioned for the child to get up before he turned him around. After receiving Sango's approval, Sesshomaru pulled out his claws and made a small, quick cut at the back of Kohaku's' neck. The shard sparkled inside of Kohaku's neck, and Sesshomaru carefully pulled it out. Everyone waited to see what would happen.

Kohaku flexed his fingers in wonder. Looking up at his sister, a huge smile crept across his face as he launched at her and gave her a hug. Sango started freely weeping at her brother being alive. Miroku rubbed circles in her back in a comforting way.

Sesshomaru walked over to me and handed the jewel shard. I purified it as he unwrapped the almost complete jewel from the hilt of his sword. Handing that to me, he briefly smiled at me.

I smiled back before heading over to Kouga. Kouga saw me coming and flinched.

"Are you sure that you need this?" he asked, hopeful that I would say 'no', though he knew deep down that wouldn't be the answer.

I nodded and he sighed before smirking. "Fine, but before that my woman has to give my a kiss."

"WHAT?" Inuyasha ran over to us, Sesshomaru's eyes took a red tint.

"NO WAY is Kagome going to kiss a no-good, flea-bitten wolf like you!" Inuyasha shouted out.

"OH YEAH, DOG TURD?" Kouga challenged.

"YEAH!" The two were close to trading blows.

Sesshomaru's claws started to glow green.

"Okay," I said.

"WHAT?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Sit." Thud. "Ayame, you heard him, he wants a kiss." Ayame smirked before pulling Kouga's ponytail so he was off balance. Quickly Ayame kissed Kouga on the lips before he could react. "Okay Kouga, now hand over the shards."

Kouga grumbled a bit about cheaters and no good women, but he handed over the shards. I thanked him and smiled. He gave a wolfish smirk back and, with speed only a demon could have, quickly kissed me on the cheek when nobody was expecting it. Looking over my shoulder, Kouga could see the Lord of the West eyes go completely red. Kouga's own eyes went wide, before he took off at a breakneck speed. I didn't know he could run that fast without jewel shards.

Sesshomaru started to go after him, but I stopped him and managed to calm him down enough that he wouldn't kill anybody. Since he had adopted me into his pack, he had become like an extremely over protective big brother.

Once Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had calmed down, Kikyo came up to me. She smiled at me and hugged me.

"Thank you Kagome. But what are you going to do now?" Everyone turned their attention to me.

"Well, I'm not sure. Once I complete the jewel, I don't know what will happen. I could get sent back to my time, the well could stop working, or the well could still transport me back and forth through time. We won't know 'til we get back to the village so I can put the jewel back together." Everyone grew quiet at the news.

"Please guys, if I do get sent back, I want my last days with you guys to be happy. So before I complete the jewel, I want to go to my time and explain everything to my mom, then come back and have a party. Is that okay with everyone?" Everyone nodded and tried to put smiles on, well, except Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, who hardly ever smile.

We all had a laugh at the fact that, on the way back, we heard miraculous tales of women coming back from the grave, and were being hailed as higher beings in their villages.

After we arrived at the village but before my brief trip home, Kouga asked to talk to me privately, so we went into the woods while Miroku and Sango distracted Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Kouga explained to me that he knew that I didn't love him and had decided to move on; he planned to start courting Ayame. He also told me that he would think of me as a little sister, and I would always have a place in his pack.

After telling my mother the short version of what had happened, I went back through the well, bringing everyone swimwear for a day at the lake, even Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, Kouga and Ayame. I took a lot of pictures of everyone having fun and had a villager take a picture of everyone together. We all had a great time. We all paired up and had four way chicken fights: Miroku with Sango, (though he kept groping her), Kouga with Ayame, Inuyasha with Kikyo, and Sesshomaru with me (which took a lot of convincing and pocky bribing).

After the fun in the water, everyone had me come back to the hut, where they each gave me a farewell gift.

Shippo gave me his tick rock with a couple of spells to make it work. Kohaku gave me a bone comb that was in the shape of a dragon getting ready to attack. Rin's gift was a pendant necklace in the shape of a small crystal rose that opened, with a red powder in it that Sesshomaru explained was actually a rare demon healing herb that if mixed with water could make a healing potion. (Sesshomaru had paid for it in a passing village when Rin pointed it out.)

Miroku gave me a small dagger, before groping my butt - causing him to get slapped by Sango and I, Rin asking what he did wrong, causing everyone to blush and him getting glared at by Sesshomaru. Sango handed me a beautiful black silk kimono with blue flames at the bottom.

Inuyasha and Kikyo gave me a new bow with a quiver. Keade gave me three rosaries, and taught me the incarnation to attach them. Kouga and Ayame gave me a bracelet made out of demon wolf fangs that put up a barrier once. They told me that they usually gave them to pups that can't defend themselves in the pack.

Sesshomaru gave me a beautiful sword that had a black blade and pure white demon bone hilt. He explained that it was his first sword, and the blade, if it accepted me, could produce black flames that can't be put out with water.

I smiled and cried, thankful for all the gifts they had given me. I looked over at Inuyasha.

"Right after I complete the jewel, I'll drop it so you can have your wish."

He shook his head. "No, I don't need that anymore. I wanted that to become full demon and be more powerful. But I'm already more powerful than any pure-blooded demon," Inuyasha smirked at the demons in the room. "That thing will probably just make me weaker. You keep it; you need it. You're so weak, one week without something for protection and you'll probably get ran over by one of those weird metal horses." I smiled at him. That was the closest thing to him saying he liked being half demon I would ever hear.

I nodded and brought the jewel shards out of the different bottles I kept them in so I wouldn't accidentally fuse them together. Looking at everyone for what may be the last time, I closed my eyes and fused them together. After a couple of seconds of hearing the fire crackle, I peeked open my eyes. I was still in the hut. Everyone blinked at the same time. It would have been hilarious if it were it not so serious a moment.

"Sooo," I stared trying to loosen up the mood. "Do I get to keep the gifts?" Sesshomaru smirked and everyone else laughed.

"I think you should go and check the well," Sesshomaru stated. Everyone nodded and started out the well.

At the well, everyone hugged me goodbye. We decided that, if the well let me through, I would come right back to see if it worked both ways still. I told them I would and jumped down the well.

Blue light engulfed me like always, and I felt myself free falling through time. As I gently landed back in my time, I tried to see if anything felt different. Nope, it was the same as always.

I climbed up the side of the well with a skill from years of experience and quickly made it to the top. Taking a deep breath, I jumped back down the well. Once again, the light engulfed me, and I was back 500 years in the past. I looked up to see all of my friends crowded at the top of the well.

"Kagome's back!" Shippo shouted and jumped down into my arms.

Since then, I have (surprisingly) graduated from school, so I no longer have to wear my school uniform; it was a happy day that I burned it. These days, I usually wear a comfortable pair of hip huggers and simple T-shirt with something sarcastic on it when I visit, with the necklace that Rin gave me, the wolf bracelet that Kouga and Ayame gave me, and a black buckle choker.

Sesshomaru has been teaching me how to defend myself and how to use my sword. Kikyo and Kaede both taught me how to control my miko powers; I just completed that training last week. Everyone was shocked at how quickly I picked up on their lessons, since I even restored Sesshomaru's arm. Though, while I can defend myself, I most definitely am far from all-powerful - I could hold my own against Kouga and Inuyasha when he doesn't use his sword, but Sesshomaru can still whip me in a fight any day of the week.

It's been great traveling back and forth between the feudal era and my time, now that I no longer have to look for jewel shards or cram for tests. I can finally appreciate the feudal era, when I'm not cursing it.

At the moment, I'm in my time, going to the well with a bag filled with what I'll need for the next couple of months. Jumping down the well, I remember that I've forgotten to bring Shippo and Kohaku's candy. Sighing to myself, I decide that I'll go back and get them. As my feet touch the ground, I think about everything that's happened since Naraku died.

Kouga has finished courting Ayame, and they have a pup on the way. And two weeks after Naraku's defeat Sango and Miroku, and Kikyo and Inuyasha had a double wedding. Now Sango is pregnant and has a craving for - would you believe it? - shrimp ramen noodles. Inuyasha isn't too happy about it, but doesn't dare say 'no' when she takes his food. Kikyo seems a little depressed that she is the only one married and without any children due. I can't see why she would want to go through what Sango is, though.

She wakes at all hours of the night to puke her guts out, then she starts to dry heave because there is no food in her stomach. She's always in pain, she has major mood swings, and she can't stop eating. Miroku's scared most of the time because if he even passes a woman that walks by she pummels him. It's almost funny.

Sesshomaru has stopped coming over so much, because every time Rin sees Sango she asks him where babies come from. The look on Sessy's face is priceless. It also seems that Sesshomaru is courting an Inu-demoness that he has fallen for from the northern lands.

Kohaku and Shippo even have a little best friend / rival thing going on. They both fight about who's going to marry Rin someday. But of course they only do this out loud when Sesshomaru isn't there. They're not stupid.

It seems that I'm the only one without a love life at the moment. Heck! Even Kaede is seeing the Monk Mushi!

I don't feel right being there with all of the lovebirds. And they keep on trying to get me to start seeing some of the village men. My friends in the future finally gave up on trying to get me hooked up with Houjo. Thank goodness. Yuka is now dating him. But now they're setting me up with blind dates. My love life sucks.

As I continued to climb high enough that the well would work if I jumped back down, a bright glow suddenly began to form around my neck. I look down at the Shikon jewel. It was shining and gently lifting off my chest.

"No! NO! Don't you dare do something weird, you stupid piece of glass!" As if to spite me, the well started to glow a soft red. "No! Not you, too!" I cried out in dismay. Soon, I landed softly on slightly damp ground.

A raindrop landed on my nose.

"Oh look, rain." I looked up and saw rain clouds cover the sky. "Crap."

I started to climb out of the well using the vines on the side. As I reached the top, I looked over the edge to see if there were any demons or whatever dangerous things this place were around. Seeing the coast was clear I pulled myself out of the well, but tripped when I slipped on the wet side. Luckily, I landed on the ground instead of falling back into the well.

Looking around, I tried to figure out where the heck I was. All I saw were trees.

"Okay, now that you've showed me this lovely view, I think I should get back to where I'm suppose to be. So I'll be going now." I looked down at the Jewel.

No.

I froze. Looking down at the Jewel, I hesitated. "Jewel?" I asked out loud.

Yes.

Crap. Now I've started talking to a piece of glass that has magical powers. I've finally lost it.

"What do you mean 'no'? I want to go home. And I'll be darned if some stupid marble is going to stop me." I walked to the well and got ready to jump in.

Don't do it, the Shikon Jewel warned.

"Watch me." I jumped.

And landed on a very hard pink barrier.

"You put a bloody BARRIER on the well. You take it OFF right NOW! You hear me? RIGHT NOW!" I demanded. I climbed out of the well to try to jump through again.

Make me, the Jewel replied, almost snobbishly.

"That's IT! I've had it with you!" And my rant begins.

"FIRST," I lift up my finger. "You make me fall down a well that brings me FIVE HUNDRED YEARS into the past. You bring back a naked demon to life just so that he can RIP YOU FROM MY BODY, and that left a very nasty scar that still hurts when I poke it!

But that wasn't ENOUGH for you, WAS IT? NO!

You had to go and SHATTER INTO A MILLION PIECES when I try to save you from being stolen by something that tried eating you.

The you make me spend three years, THREE bloody and gory YEARS being kidnapped, impailed, shot at, and almost being made into some PSYCHOPATHIC midget's wife! While trying to stop some world-hating half-demon with a superiority complex from finishing you first to rule the world! Just like in some CRAPPY VIDEO GAME!

All the while, getting compared to my cold-hearted, prettier, better at everything I do incarnation! And this, THIS is the thanks I get? You send me to some unknown place without indoor plumbing! Then, when I try to get home, you put a BARRIER ON THE WELL!

That's it! I've HAD IT! I REFUSE to be your guardian any more; you can SHATTER into A MILLION PIECES again for all I care! GO and bother SOMEONE ELSE's life, because you screwed up MINE enough! You want to be here? YOU stay, but LET ME GO HOME!"

I tried to pull the jewel off from around my neck, but it wouldn't budge. "Get OFF, you stupid Jewel! I DON'T WANT YOU!"

Tough luck. You have a job to do here.

I paused a moment. The calm before the storm.

"What the heck do you mean I 'have a job to do here', YOU SADISIC MARBLE! I don't WANT it! Give it to some other poor loser who karma doesn't like, but LEAVE ME OUT OF IT." I tried pulling the necklace off with the same result.

"Would you please stop screeching?" a calm voice questioned from behind me. I immediately stiffened.

Slowly, I turned around to see two men standing a few yards away. The first one, the one who had spoken, was wearing a cloak that covered all of his body except his head. He was wearing some type of medal bandanna on his forehead. He was fairly tall; he had black hair in a ponytail that disappeared into his cloak and red eyes that looked like they could slowly burn a hole right through someone. But his face was very good-looking, and, if he ever went to high school, he would have hordes of fans both male and female. He had an air about him that screamed 'top dog'.

The guy next to him had the same cloak and bandanna thing going on. But as I looked at him, I noticed that he only looked slightly human. Strapped to his back was a sword that was giving off funky vibes. He had blue hair, blue skin, blue gills, blue everything. Except his eyes, I noted. His eyes were all white with black pupils; there was no noticeable pupil color.

I let out my miko powers to see if the blue man was a demon. I blinked; he was one forth shark demon. I looked back to the first guy, and felt that he had demon blood also, but it was so worn down that it was barely there - likely under ten percent. It seemed to manifest mainly through his eyes, from what I could tell.

"Um, who are you?" I asked bluntly.

"…"

"Okay, I'm sorry if my screaming bothered you. I know it must have hurt your enhanced hearing," I said, before turning around and studying the barrier at the bottom of the well.

"Who were you talking to?" The blue man demanded.

My shoulders slumped. They were still there. Turning back around, I beamed a smile at them. "To myself, of course."

They didn't look amused. Gill boy stepped forward and placed a hand on the hilt of his sword. "Answer the question truthfully, girl. Where are your comrades?"

I blinked at him. "You don't seem to get it do you? I have finally cracked under the pressure. I was talking to my stupid piece of junk marble."

The jewel glowed a dark purple color, and shocked me.

(Snickers)

"Ow! Stupid piece of Junk!" I pulled out the dagger that Miroku had given me. I noticed that both men tensed, but I ignored them in favor of trying to scratch the jewel or cut it off my neck. Every time I cut the chain, the Jewel would glow light pink and fix it the instant the knife was through. After a minute of this, the Jewel glowed dark purple again, and shocked me for a second time. Hard.

As I was gasping for breath, I could have sworn that the Jewel was laugh at me, but then I looked up and saw that it was gill boy.

"Shut up. Let's see you have a evil necklace attack you!" I shouted at him.

"Ha! You couldn't lay a finger on me, wench," gill boy mocked.

"That's the last straw!" I let my backpack slip to the ground. Diving into one of the many pouches, I found what I was looking for, one of my rosaries. I picked out the blue one, because I thought it would just be fitting.

Bringing my hands into place, I wrapped the beads around my fingers. Both men looked ready to attack. I started the incarnation, and both men looked slightly confused. The beads glowed yellow, before taking off and attaching themselves around a running gill boy's neck. He stopped when they were firmly around his neck, and tried to pull them off.

"Shock!" I shouted, and the necklace glowed blue before it began to shock him for a couple of seconds.

Next thing I know, I'm on my back with my arms twisted behind my back and a kneecap on my spine. A very uncomfortable position.

"Remove the Jutsu," the man demanded.

"Jutsu? What the crap is a Jutsu?" I asked, confused.

The grip on my arm tightened. "Don't play dumb with me, girl," the man demanded.

"I really don't know what the crap your talking about. That was a level one spell, moron." Then I mumbled under my breath thinking he wouldn't hear. "Jeez, with your demon blood, I would think that you would at least know what I did."

The man on top of me froze. "What did you say?" He flipped me over, so he could see my face.

"Nothing of importance," I said. I looked pass him to his traveling companion. He looked ready kill me with his glare alone. "Shock," I said again, and again he 'enjoyed' his new shock collar. "It won't kill him. It'll only shock him for a few seconds. Now will you please kindly get off before you collapse my lungs?"

The man only glared at me. "Answer the question, girl," the man stated now that he knew the other man was not in serious danger.

"What question?" I asked innocently.

"What did you say about demon blood?"

"Oh, you didn't know. I probable shouldn't have told you, then. Well the cat's out of the bag now, so might as well tell you, so you don't kill me," I said, just then noticing the nice little blade he had next to my throat. "You have a very small amount of demon blood, focused in your eyes, and your friend over there, shock, is one forth demon. Meaning one of his parents was a half-breed. Okay, now that I've told you what you want to know, can you get off?"

He glared at me. "How do you know this, wench?" he asked coldly.

What is it with everyone calling me a bloody wench? I glared back at him, with a glare that would have made Sesshy proud.

"Get. Off. Now." I growled.

"Answer the question, wench."

I snapped. Gathering my miko energy into my palm, I shot him in the gut, throwing him through two trees.

"My name is KAGOME! KA-GO-ME! Not girl, WENCH, woman, or any other names you STUPID males come up with! Now, leave me alone!" I hollered. Snapping back to the well, I kicked, it cursing it for bringing me here.

Gill boy came up behind me, and got ready to plunge his sword through my gut. "SHOCK!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Gill boy proceeded to be shocked until he was just a twitching blue form that had static popping up every once and a while in the mud. Turning back around, I wasn't expecting to come face to face with the man who I had just recently shot through two trees. And did I mention that he looked really ticked off? I don't remember anything after that.

-End of really, really long flashback-

It was starting to get dark and I was wet, tired, and hungry. So, in other words, I was ticked.

"Shark boy!" The blue man turned and glared at me. His hair was slightly singed at the ends. I smirked. I liked my new favorite word.

"Feed me, unless you want to become a crispy fish stick," I demanded. He glared at me.

"Take it off." He demanded.

I gave him an odd look. "Do I look stupid to you? Wait, don't answer that. But that's my safety. I say one word and you get zapped. It's not so funny when you're the one wearing a evil necklace, now, is it?" I smirked at him. He looked about ready to kill me.

"Take it off, wench!" he shouted.

I glared at him. "SHOCK! My name is Kagome! Ka-Go-Me! Do I have to spell it out for you!"

Gill boy recovered from the shock, and got ready to launch at me. I got ready to say the word again.

"Kisame. Cease this foolishness." I looked at the man I had dubbed devil. He was glaring at both of us. Is that all this man did, glare? Jeez, he needs to lighten up.

"Gir-" he started.

"Kagome."

He appeared in not two feet away from me. "I will call you what I see fit," he growled.

"Fine then, I'm going to start calling you pin-wheel."

His glare intensified. "Do not push me, girl," he warned.

"What do you want, pin-wheel? There must be some reason that I am currently tied to a tree in the middle of a rainstorm. Tell me what you want. So I can get out of here. You out of my life makes me happy, and me out of your lives would make both of you happy, especially fish stick over there, so what do you say?"

"Fine. I'll ask questions; you answer. Got it?" he asked, though it sounded more like you don't get any say in the matter when he asked questions.

"Fine, but I ask questions afterwards. Then it'll be a fair trade," I stated.

"Agreed," he accepted. "Who are you?" was his first question.

"Kagome Higurashi."

"What are you?"

"Human."

"What type of chakara do you use?"

"What's chakara?"

He looked shocked at the answer. He probably wouldn't have believed me if my voice didn't hold actual confusion.

"Your power source," he explained.

"I'm a miko, if that's what you mean."

"What is a miko?"

"Shrine maiden, priestess, but what we do is purify demons, heal the sick and wounded, and give advise when asked."

He gave a nod of understanding. "Where are you from?"

"Tokyo, Japan."

"Where is it?"

"Far, far away."

His eyes squinted at that but accepted it. "I am done, you may ask your questions."

I nodded my head. "Who are you?"

"Itachi Uchiha."

"Who's sparky?"

"Kisame Hoshigaki"

"What are you guys?"

"Ninja."

"Very funny, now really, what are you?"

The man, now known as Itachi, narrowed his eyes.

"Ninja." I was shocked. I actually ran into two ninja.

"Where's my bag?"

He motioned with his head towards my bag at the edge of the camp.

"Which direction is the well you found me by?"

He pointed left of him.

"Oh, okay." I said. I gathered my miko energy into my finger and quickly shot it at my ropes. They were cut, and I pushed the remaining rope off. I stood up and stretched my sore muscles. I would definitely be stiff for a while from staying out in the rain all night.

"Oh, and one more question. Where the heck am I?"

"Fire country."

"Weird name, you would think people could come up with something more original. Okay, that's all I needed to know." I walked over to my bag and slid it onto my shoulders. Seeing my dagger and sword on the ground next to it, I repositioned them where they were supposed to be. Turning to the direction Itachi pointed, I started to walk away.

"Bye pin-wheel, bye fish stick. You can keep the necklace to remember me by." I lifted a hand as my farewell and started out of the camp.

"Where do you think you're going?" Itachi questioned, suddenly appearing before me.

I pointed the direction he had pointed earlier. "That way." I started walking again.

It was silent for a moment, before I felt someone pick me up and roughly throw me over their shoulder. I look up to see the back of Itachi's head.

"Hey! What's the big idea? Put me down!" I demanded, beating on his back with each word. He ignored me. "We had a deal! We ask each other questions, I go free! It was a very easy plan to follow!"

"We've had a change of plans."

"Kisame, clear up camp and catch up to me. We're going back to the base."

I looked over to where fish stick was and saw him smirk. "Looks like you're coming with us, princess," he mocked.

I gave a smirk of my own. "Shock. Shock. Shock." I started smiling when I saw him start twitching. If I keep it up at this pace, then Kisame will have a permanent eye twitch in no time!

I suddenly remembered that I was being kidnapped when I saw a tree pass by me. "Hey! I never agreed to go with you! Put me down!" I started to beat at the man's back again. "Let me go! Let me go, or else you'll regret it!" I warned. He stopped and placed me on my feet. "Thank yo-" he placed his hand on a pressure point, quickly knocking me out cold.

End Chapter.

Okay, that was the first chapter.

If you like, then review. If you don't, then get the heck out. No one is forcing you to read this fic. But anyone who is willing to give advice, feel free to give it. If you are polite about it, I will be polite back. Thanks for your time.

I will try and update once a week, but I can't promise anything.
