Chapter One

She pounded her fist on the worn wood of the ancient well. With each breath, she prayed for it to work once more and let her through. It was the same almost every day. She would look and see the old well house and hope would spring back that maybe, just maybe it would work once more. She had placed so much faith and hope in the idea that one day she would be able to go back.

It had been two years now and she has tried to get back but has yet to feel any power coming from the well. With her powers no longer sealed, she thought that maybe she could use them to help the well to work, again but in the end, she was not sure how to go about it.

It hurt so much; she had lost her dearest friends. The ones that she shared a bond with that was forged through trials and experiences that no one would believe or understand. Sango, Miroku, little Shippo, Inuyasha, Koga and his tribe, and even Sesshomaru; she wished that she could see them again. It was like she had left a piece of herself behind.

She felt out of place here.

This was where she was born. This is where she was raised. She knew and understood this world though now she felt lost and like she didn't belong. It was in these moments that she would go out to the old well house and the desperate need to return would take its toll.

It went on like this for nearly a year before her family really began to worry. She had brushed off the dates that her friends tried to set her up on. She rarely left the shrine for more than a couple of hours. She didn't want to go to college with her friends so she worked around the shrine and held special nights where she would dress as a priestess and tell the tales of the Shikon Jewel.

Finally her mother told her that she needed to move past this and get on with her life. If the well reopened then she was happy for her but she could not let life pass her by. If she continued on this way, she was going to wake up one day and realize that she had let her life slip away. She was eighteen now and had to be an adult about the situation. It would be hard but things would get easier as time passed.

Eventually, she gave into to her mother. She still refused to go on dates but she would go out with her friends and some times go for weekend trips. It was a trying experience. Her friends still didn't get it when she said no dates, she meant no dates! After several disastrous surprise dates and forced outings they came to understand that Kagome was still stuck on her old boyfriend.

~*~*~*~Two years since the well closed~*~*~*~

Throwing down the heavy bags, Kagome fell heavily on the couch. Shopping with Ayumi, Eri and Yuka was at times more difficult than dealing with Naraku. Of course, there is always a sale. Kagome couldn't help but laugh at that. It was as close to a real laugh as one could get from her these days.

Leaning back on the couch, she let her mind wander to happier times; times that included mythical beings and legends, heroes and heroines, villains and treachery. As her eyes closed and a smile lined her mouth, though it was small. But nonetheless, it was a true heart-felt smile.

She was drifting off to sleep when she felt it. At first she thought that she was dreaming again and ignored it, but then she felt the pulse the second time. She slowly rose up to a sitting position almost afraid to hope that it was true. She felt the slow build of power though it was still weak. It was coming from the direction of the well.

A slow smile appeared on her face. It began to spread until it was a bright smile that was reminiscent of times past. She raced to the door and out to the old wooden structure that surrounded the well. She threw back the door and practically fell down the stairs in her haste to get to the bottom. When she reached the bottom, she stepped slowly toward the edge. She hesitantly raised her hand out to touch the rim. When her fingers came into contact with the softened, worn wood, tears began to fall.

Falling to her knees, she leaned against the ancient wood of the well and felt the magic flow within. She sat there for several minutes feeling the ancient magic of the well as it washed against her senses. After some time, she sat up and wiped away the tears. With a nod of affirmation, she was ready. It was time to go back where she felt she now belonged.

Running back into the house, she yelled out to her mother, brother and grandfather. She raced upstairs to her room and grabbed her pack. It wasn't the same old yellow one but it was just as sturdy and was just as stuffed. It was always on stand by just in case.

Taking one last look around her room, she grabbed the photo of her mother, brother and grandfather and stuffed into the pack as well. Making sure that she missed nothing else, she picked up the precious bow that Kikyo had her retrieve and her quiver of arrows.

Her mother knew that it was going to come to this one day, some how she knew that Kagome's destiny was not here in this time. She loved her daughter dearly but she also knew that she had to let her go.

After a few tears and a few more hugs, Kagome was ready. They all walked her to the well house and waited and watched as she made her way to the rim of the well. As she sat on the edge, turning back one last time, Kagome smiled and waved as she leaped off into the well's magic.

The passage seamed shorter than she remembered but it has been two years since the last time she came through. Landing softly on the dirt floor, she looked up to see open sky. She let out the breath that she didn't realize that she had been holding. It looked a little different but it had been a little while since she was here last. Arranging her pack, bow and quiver of arrows, she began the climb to the top.

Shielding her eyes from the bright sunshine, she focused on the God Tree until her vision adjusted to light. Finally, she was back. Looking around excitedly, she noticed that there was an old abandoned cottage a little ways off. She didn't remember that and it appeared that it hadn't been lived in for awhile.

Then she became aware of the surrounding area. Dread and fear settled in her stomach. The terrain was different. If it weren't for the God Tree, she would swear that she was in a different place all together. There wasn't a path to the village and the area was laid out differently.

Running to the top of the hill to where she could look out over the village, she came to a dead stop. The valley below was desolate. There wasn't a hut or field in sight. The area itself had reverted back to nature.

Falling to her knees in disbelief, Kagome knew without a doubt that she wasn't back in the Feudal Era. The problem was where was she? With the magic from the well fading, she knew that where ever she was, she was here to stay.

**This is the first crossover with Naruto so I miss something please let me know. Thanks to my Beta Sakucherryblossom. I will divert slightly from the actual story line but I hope that you like it.

I just recently got into Naruto and I ended up loving this pairing. There are so few out there and it very disappointing. I ended up with this due to the need to see this pairing.
