Fanfic
I'ma switch my fanfic into third-person view. Personally,it's better than my character narrating it. Just read and find out!

Chapter 1
A Girl’s Life Changed Forever
Areku was just your average 16-year-old high school student with dirty blonde hair and sapphire eyes. She lived in Tokyo, Japan with her mother. She had no siblings and her father passed away when she was 11. But one day, she found out something that changed her life forever…
Areku woke up one morning and found a small shard of something on her desk, beside her schoolbooks.
“What’s this?” she muttered under her breath. She thought of the legends her mother had told her about their home in Tokyo and said, “It’s a shard of the Sacred Jewel of the Four Souls!”
She didn’t believe her mother, but she was surprised. How did she end up with a Sacred Jewel shard?
Areku has only one friend in high school, Kagome. She was 15, and a tall, slim girl with black hair and brown eyes. Kagome always goes on about she’s the reincarnation of the dead priestess Kikyo and how she can travel back to Japan’s Warring States era. She also says that there are so many demons there, but she manages to survive in battle with any. But was it possible that Areku was another one of Kikyo’s reincarnations?
Anyway, she called Kagome later that day and told her, “I found a Sacred Jewel shard in my room this morning.”
“Are you serious?” she said in shock.
“Yes,” Areku replied.
“Could that mean you’re...?”
“I don’t know. We’ll try the well. I’ll come over to your house, okay?”
“O.K.”

They hung up. Areku told her mother that she was going to Kagome’s house until dinnertime and she didn’t mind. Areku grabbed the fragment, a sword from her father’s old weapon cabinet in the cellar for protection and ran off.
She made it to Kagome’s house about ten minutes later. She jumped up to her window and tapped on it.
“Come in, Areku,” Kagome said. Areku opened the window and hopped into her room.
“Do you have the shard?” she asked.
“Yeah,” Areku replied. She pulled out the shard from her pocket. They ran outside to the Bone-Eater’s Well near Kagome’s home.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Kagome asked. “I mean, can you protect yourself?”
“I got this sword,” Areku said to her. “Don’t worry.”
“O.K…”

They jumped down together. Before Areku knew it, she was in feudal Japan!
“Wow!” she said, surprised. “Kagome… this place is beautiful!”
Areku saw a dog-eared, white haired teenage boy talking to Kagome. He was about 5.5, had fairly tan skin, and had golden-yellow eyes. “About time you got back, Kagome,” he said.
He drew his attention towards Areku and said, “And who’s this? Is she a friend of yours?”
“She IS a friend of mine, Inuyasha. Her name’s Areku,” Kagome explained.
So, his name’s Inuyasha, Areku thought.
“Areku, this is Inuyasha,” Kagome explained. “And don’t worry, he’s only half demon.”
“Nice to meet you, Inuyasha,” Areku said to him.
“Same here,” he said, his arms crossed. He turned away and thought that girl… her name’s Areku? That sounds familiar…and her scent is familiar too…
Kagome began to explain all she knew about this era and its people. What happened 50 years ago in feudal Japan, the demons, Inuyasha’s past, her spiritual powers, everything! Kagome also told Areku about her friends there. They are Miroku, a Buddhist monk (and a little bit of a pervert when it comes to pretty women and adolescent girls), Sango, a Demon Slayer and the last of her people, Shippo, a young fox demon whose father was slain by the evil Thunder Brothers, Kirara, Sango’s pet demon cat, and Kaede, the old village priestess and Kikyo’s younger sister. She, Kagome, also explained that they have one arch enemy, and his name is Naraku. He was responsible for Inuyasha and Kikyo’s dispute 50 years prior, Miroku’s Wind Tunnel curse in his right hand, and Naraku also turned Sango’s younger brother, Kohaku, against her.
“I feel sorry for everyone,” Areku said with a look of sympathy in my eyes. She was looking at Inuyasha. He was just sitting in a tree just outside Kaede’s village “But I feel really bad for Inuyasha. To have someone you love turn against you. That’s pretty harsh.”

They reached the old priestess’s village. They walked into the main hut and Areku saw every one of Kagome’s friends.
“Kagome, you’re back!” she heard Shippo say as he hopped into Kagome’s arms.
The fox demon drew his attention towards Areku and asked, “Who’s she, Kagome? Is she a friend from your era?”
“Yes, Shippo,” she responded. “Her name is Areku.”
“You were right, Kagome,” She, Areku, said, patting Shippo on the head. “He IS adorable. Kagome has told me quite a bit about you all. She’s told me about everyone, so basically, I know who’s who. You’re Miroku… Sango… Kaede… and…” She saw Kirara next to her feet, mewing. “And this must be Kirara,” Areku continued as she knelt down and began to pet her. Kirara started to purr in content.
“She must like you,” Sango said. “Kirara would normally attack strangers.”
“Maybe I’m just good with animals,” Areku replied.
Miroku walked up to her, took her hand and said, “You’re a fair and beautiful maiden indeed. Will you do the honor of bearing my children?”
Areku froze and her face began to flush with embarrasment. She let out a nervous laugh, and then Kagome and Sango shouted at the monk, “She’s too young!!”
“Kagome,” Areku said, “I gotta get home. My mom will kill me if I’m not back by dinnertime.”
“Go on, then,” Kagome said. “See ya!”

She jumped down the well back to Kagome’s house. Areku got back home the second her mother called for dinner. Areku and her mother sat at the table and ate. She then went into her bedroom after dinner and threw herself onto her bed.
Areku was on her laptop and browsing the Internet, when her mother came into her room.
“Why did you have to go to Kagome’s earlier today?” she asked.
“Umm…” Areku began, “will you promise not to tell any one?
“I promise.”
“All right, then. You know the legends you told me about? About the Bone-Eater’s Well and all?”
Her mother nodded.
“Well… that old well can transport me and Kagome to medieval Japan.”
“Oh.”
“Mom, it’s my destiny to be there. Not forever, but at least a few times a week.”
“Well…all right. You may go, but let me know first and be careful, O.K.?”
“Thanks, Mom,” she finally said. Areku’s mother kissed her and said good night.


Chapter 2
First Days in Feudal Japan
The next day, Areku packed some clothes, food, a headset, and some CDs into a duffel bag and she told her mother that she was going to the other era. She didn’t care. But before Areku left, she saw something in her backyard. It was a well. Areku wanted to test something. If she could get to feudal Japan through the well she had, she wouldn’t have to travel to Kagome’s to get there.
And it worked. Areku jumped down into the well, and it took her to the feudal era.
On her way to Kaede’s village, Areku ran into someone. She looked almost like Inuyasha, but of course she was a girl, and she looked younger than Inuyasha and Areku, and she had shorter hair. “Excuse me,” Areku said.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” the girl apologized. “Was I in your way? Hey, I’ve never seen you around here. What’s your name?”
“My name’s Areku. What’s yours?”
“My name’s Saya. Nice to meet you.”
“Same here.”
After their little conversation, the two felt the wind pick up speed. A tornado was coming right and Areku and Saya! But when it almost hit them, it subsided, and a young man wearing wolf fur emerged from the tornado.

And comment if they're any mistakes. Ja matte ne!
