Chapter One: Down the Rabbit hole

"Kagome you stupid little brat….how many times do I have to tell you not to go into my room" Souta yelled.

Five year old Kagome looked sadly at her older brother. "I'm sorry Souta I was just getting the cat." She whispered. "Buyo was probably trying to run away from your ugly form." He said nastily and bumped into her purposely causing her to fall hard on the floor. He laughed when he saw her fall then went downstairs.

Kagome pushed herself up with tears in her eyes. She walked to her room and cried softly to herself. As she rubbed her sore arm she took out one of her favorite books. The book was called the Little Princess. Kagome looked at the pictures and wished she could go to India or any far off place. Just when she was at ease…

"KAGOME GET DOWN HERE NOW". Kagome shivered at the voice. It was her mother and she knew what was coming. Souta probably whined to their mother about her being in his room. She got up from her bed and went downstairs.

She went passed the family room and into the kitchen. "Yes mother" Kagome said slowly. SMACK "How many times have I told you not to go into your brother's room? You have no respect for other people's things."

Kagome touched her right cheek where her mother had slapped her. "I'm sorry mother I didn't mean too I was just looking for the cat." Tears were now falling from her eyes.

"Ugh…you're such a useless child. You can't even do what you're told. Why was I ever cursed with a thing like you? Now get out of my sight and you can forget about eating dinner tonight." "Yes mother."

Kagome went back upstairs to her room and jumped on her bed crying hard. "Why am I such a bad person? Maybe mommy and Souta would be happier if I wasn't around." She said to herself.

Truth is that her mother and brother weren't always like this. They were loving people who cared for her. But ever since her father and grandfather died in a fire one year ago both her mom and brother blame her for it. Ever since then they've abused her…emotionally and physically.

Kagome couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't her fault that her father and grandfather were gone. She was only four then. Kagome didn't know any better. She had sometimes wished she had died in the fire and her father was still alive then maybe her mother and brother would be happier and not be so cruel to her. "Daddy…Grandpa why'd you leave me alone? Why'd did you have to die?" She soon then cried herself to sleep.

The next morning start the same way as every morning did. Kagome slow opened her eyes and looked at her alarm clock. It read 7:30. She quick jumped up and gathered up her cloths. She was late doing her chores.

Her mother and brother were in the kitchen and didn't seem to notice her heading towards the front door, which was a good thing. If her mother had caught her now, she would have been in big trouble. Kagome opened the sliding door and stepped outside. She went to the shrine where her broom and bucket was. She gathered them up and headed toward the shrine were the old bone eaters well was.

Kagome went next to the Shrine where a small water pump was. She filled the bucket with soapy water and placed it on the porch. She picked up her broom and began to sweep the porch floor. As Kagome swept the floor she let her mind wonder to all the far off places that she wanted to see. "One day when I'm a big girl….I'm go far away and never be pushed or hurt again." She sweep harder and harder let her anger all out. When she was finished she went inside the Shrine.

It was dark and damp…and it smelled moldy. Then she saw the well. The old bone eater's well. It was closed up and it had talismans on the top. Kagome remember her grandpa telling her that the well held the bones of demons from long ago…but was it true.

Just then her cat ran passed her in a flash causing her to jumped in fright. When she saw that it wasn't something to hurt her…she put her broom down and walked down the stairs to where her cat was. "Buyo where are you?" Kagome called.

When she got to the well, she heard scratching coming from the inside. "I wonder what's making that noise?" She got closer and didn't notice the figure from behind her. "HEY BRAT….WHAT ARE YOU DOING." Souta yelled scaring the poor little girl. Kagome screamed and turned quickly to see her brother.

"Souta what are you doing here?" Kagome asked in her small frail voice. "I'm the once asking the questions twerp. Now what are you doing down there? You know you're not allowed down there." Souta said.

Kagome began to tremble at the sound of her brother's voice. "Well Buyo came down here and I went down to get him." She said quietly. Souta snorted. "Well you should have let him be and got back to your chores. Or do I have to tell mom you're not going them." He smirked evilly.

Kagome looked down at her feet sadly. She didn't want to get in trouble again. "No please don't tell mom. I'll go back to cleaning." She said with tears in her eyes. Souta was about to say something when he heard their mother calling for him. "Be there in a minute mom" He called back.

He turned around and looked at his sister. "Your lucky brat that mom called me." He turned his back to her and walked out. Kagome wiped the tears away with her shirt. She felt something rubbing against her leg and noticed it was her cat. Kagome picked up the fat feline and hugged it close to her.

"Buyo I wish I could go away from here" She said quietly as more tears fell from her eyes. She picked up her cat and headed towards the stairs…the scratching sound from the well got louder. Kagome stopped and turned around to look.

"What's making that sound? Is there something in there?" She wanted to know but if she got caught again she would be punished. She started up the stairs when a loud rumbling sound came from well. A bright light flashed and burned all the talismans.

Kagome turned around to see a strange force come out of the well and headed towards her. She dropped the cat that was in her arms and screamed.

When Souta came close to the house he heard a scream come from the Well Shrine. Not knowing why he did it… he imminently ran towards the shrine. When he went inside…he saw strange white ghost like hands waving around. He looked down and saw his sister on the ground looking terrified.

"Brat what did you do?" He screamed. Kagome looked up to see her brother at the top of the stairs. She got up and ran towards him when the strange forced grabbed hold of her and pulled her into the well.

She was surrounded in a blue light and slowly fell into the well. Souta being the idiot that he was just stood the not believe what happened. When he finally came too….he ran down towards the stairs and hesitantly looked into the well.

He thought he would see his sister at the bottom of the well….but what he saw what nothing. Kagome was gone.
