Serendipity
Chapter One: Down the Rabbit Hole.
"Kagome" as soft voice called, the soft green grass under her fingertips were enticing, a callus hand wrapped around her own. Claws, they stroked her pale flesh, so softly, so delicately. Her eyes opened, the silver hair, those golden eyes piercing into her soul, so loving; they embraced her with their warmth.
The sound of the alarm rang in her ears, dragging her from her dream; she struggled to pull herself out of bed to turn the annoying thing off. Yes another day, another normal day for Kagome Higurashi. She managed to pull herself up and slid her finger over the screen of her phone to silence the annoying beast, which just left the obnoxious humming of the world around her. Her tired fingers swept the sleep from her eyes, a gesture to her good sleep. She pulled herself out of bed, her feet gently landing on the lush carpet; the texture between her toes was ever so comforting. She ran her finders though her glossy raven hair and walked down stairs following the enticing smell of freshly brewing coffee. She made her way down stairs and lumped her half asleep body onto the kitchen counter where her mother smiled, pouring her a hot cup of caffeinated goodness. She set the cup of heaven in front of her half-asleep daughter and pulled a wooden large rectangular box from out of the top kitchen cupboard.
"Happy 21st Honey," Her mother chimed, she short brown hair bouncing with every step as she handed the girl the large wooden present. Her heart skipped a beat, like something was coming, like something bad was happening.
"Oh Mum! Thank you so much, you really shouldn't have of." She exclaimed in excitement, as she slipped the small clips out of the wooden casing. That strange pull, that strange feeling welling within the pits of her stomach attacked her as she pulled the lid on the gift. Her baby blue eyes widened in awe.
"It's an antique, a bow and quiver with original arrows, said to be wielded by the priestess of the Shikon no Tama back in the Feudal Era," Her grandfather piped as he hobbled into the lounge room.
"Happy 21st her darling Granddaughter," He finished.
*THUMP, THUMP*
That feeling, it sent her heart racing.
"Mum, Grandpa, you shouldn't have of, it's so beautiful. Thank you so much." she exclaimed brushing off the strange feeling, leaning over to embrace her mother, and then walking over to her grandpa to place a kiss upon his cheek.
"It is only a fitting gift as you are the miko of Higurashi shrine, protector of the Goshinboku and the Bone Eaters Well." Her Grandfather rattled on as he walked outside.
"Thankyou mum and Grandpa, I better get ready for work." She chimed as she sat up, gulping the rest of her now cold coffee. She made her way upstairs to her room. Quickly she slipped on her traditional miko garbs, a red haori and white hakamas; she tied her hair up in a loose ponytail with a white ribbon, slipping on a pair of not so traditional doc martins, to get ready for her day of sweeping out the well house and sending prayers to the Goshinboku.
Making her way outside the sun caressed her face, like gentle hands from the kami's welcoming me to this fine day. The clouds hung loosely in the baby blue sky, the birds fluttered by without a care in the world and the air smelt fresh and crisp, well as fresh and crisp as you could expect in the city. She made her way around to the side of the house, filling a bucked with some water and dipping a scrubbing brush in it. She picked up the straw broom and made her way to the well slid open the door to the musty old well house, the smell of the ancients hit her nose as The girl stepped though the threshold into a piece of history preserved. She set her bucket down, the water furiously splashing around; Kagome went to the far corner of the shrine and started to sweep down the cobwebs, humming the old shrine rhyme that her grandfather used to tell her before bed.
"The bone eaters well, all full of bone,
Of demons and others and their formidable foes,
Let the Shikon no tama awaken the light,
For that is the key to the wells might."
She never really understood it; Kagome just thought it was a myth; a simple rhyme which the elders would tell children to keep them from the shrine's well house.
*THUMP, THUMP*
That feeling, it was gut wrenching, it felt as though her whole body was pulsing with an otherworldly power, she turned and fell off the ledge into the dirt surrounding the Bone Eaters Well. Her stomach was doing circles, and a feeling that something was wrong, very wrong. Kagome pulled herself to her feet, searching around trying to find her broom, trying to brush off this feeling, trying to rid it from her mind. It was nowhere to be found.
'Oh no' She thought, as the girl peered into the Bone Eaters Well, the small amount of sun showing the tip of the broom at the bottom.
"God dammit," she exclaimed, as she threw a leg over the wells ledge and slipped her foot into the inner rocks fittings. *THUMP, THUMP* A wave of nausea hit her, she clinged to the lip of the well.
*THUMP, THUMP*
A blue light surged out from the wells basin, a chilling, mystical blue wind swirled up and what looked like hands wrapped around her ankle and dragged her over. Despite her struggles she was forced over the ledge of the well and into the light blue abyss.
A deep blue light, one like the ocean surrounded her, filled her with warmth, filled her with love, something strange, something forgotten. Her arms wrapped around her waist as she closed her eyes beckoning memories to return, however nothing was to be found. Something was missing, her heart was heavy and this experience was one she felt she had experienced before, whether that be in another life or another world.
"Ahh," she cried as she fell, and with a 'thunk' she hit the bottom of the well.
'That hurt a little less than I expected,' she thought as she looked out from the lips of the well. The sky, the beautiful blue sky greeted her, instead of the musty dark well house roof. 'What the hell is going on?'
In this distance, silver ears perked up, the arrival of a familiar scent spiked his senses and he closed his eyes, remembering. Opening his eyes he peered over to the woman lying in the meadow, her ebony hair fanned out on the lush grass, he smiled and dismissed the scent. 'Nah, it couldn't be,' he thought.
His slender nose perked up to the scent that welcomed him, red eyes blazed, magenta stripes jagged adored his pale white cheeks, a feral snarl escaped his thin lips. That scent.
Kagome took hold of the vines which laced up the well to its lip and gently climbed to the top, careful not to pull to hard, otherwise she would be on her ass. Finally making it to the top, she let out a breath, swinging her leg over the lip of the well she steadied herself only to be greeted by her surroundings. Trees everywhere, so much lush green trees, the grass was up to her ankles, small paths cutting though the forests lips in many different directions, 'Probably animals,' she thought. She took in the sound of the place, no cars, no planes, no people, just the sounds of the trees swaying to the melody of the ice cold wind. It smelt fresh, untainted and pure.
"It is so quiet," she paused, "I could never sleep here." Her heart raced a million miles a minute.
"I really don't think you in Tokyo anymore Kagome." She whispered as she jumped off the well ledge and onto the lush grass. Looking up to the sky she spun around trying to find any key markers of where she was. She scanned the tree tops to see anything familiar, and there was nothing, then she recognised smoke, from what she presumed was to the west of her current location, maybe there was someone there who could help her figure out where the hell she was and what she was doing there.
