(Geeze I almost forgot the disclaimer: I DO NOT own InuYasha, but I would
if I was really rich, or Rumiko Takahashi! Enjoy anyway, please ^_^)
'INUYASHA! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIIIIIT!' 'GAH! STOP IT WENCH!' 'YOU STOP BEING A JERK, THEN!' 'YOU'RE THE JERK!' 'AAARRRRGH! SIT!' That was how their last argument went. It left InuYasha several bruises (although they disappeared quickly, due to his phenomenal, inhuman hanyou abilities), and Kagome steaming mad, and down the well. She hadn't been back in over two weeks.
'Damn wench. I didn't do anything. She's just being childish.' 'InuYasha, did you ever think that you were the one being childish?' 'SHUT UP, FOX!' With this exclamation, poor little Shippo was sent sailing into a tree, propelled by InuYasha, who had been of a terribly foul temper lately. Shippo was his punching bag; he needed to vent his feelings about Kagome. Why did she run away every time they had a little spat? InuYasha swore bitterly under his breath and began to pummel Shippo, after retrieving him from the twisted tree roots that rose above ground...at least, he was pummeling Shippo until something very hard whacked him in the back of the head...and then another, less hard thing, and lastly he got whipped with a tail. 'OW! What the hell was that for!?' InuYasha cried, holding the back of his head and turning from his not-so-recently-picked-up-pass-time, to see Sango, hiraikotsu in hand, Miroku, sporting his staff, and Kirara, very large and ferocious looking, tail swishing as if daring him to insult her. InuYasha growled furiously, rubbing the lumps forming on his head. 'Why don't you leave poor Shippo alone?' said Sango sternly, putting the boomerang bone down. 'Yes, wouldn't it be more fruitful to just go after Lady Kagome?' suggested Miroku, leaning on his staff, and Kirara growled in agreement. 'That wench can come through the well and apologize to ME!' shouted InuYasha. 'For WHAT?' Shippo, Sango, and Miroku all shouted at once. 'For constantly plowing my face in the dirt, that's what!' 'GRAAAGH!' Sango screamed in frustration, and brought hiraikotsu down, with all her strength, on InuYasha's head, who fell over, looking like this: @@ (*snickers* Poor Inu...). He recovered quickly, though, and shot up. 'FINE!' he screamed. 'FINE! I'LL GO DOWN THE WELL, BUT JUST TO GET AWAY FROM YOU GUYS!' he shouted at them, at the top of his lungs. However, although he'd never admit it, he'd never have said it if he wasn't missing Kagome so much. Miroku and Sango exchanged smirks of triumph, while Shippo just glared at InuYasha and hopped onto Kirara's back, who glared silently, too, although something of triumph lingered around her. Without another word (although about a thousand furious ones churned in his head) the dog-eared by hopped off towards the well.
He was rewarded by finding a pile of wood and stone. 'WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?' he screeched; he knew this was where the well was supposed to be. He dove into the pile and things went flying from the pile, but there was no sign of the actual portal. 'KAGOOOMEEEE!' he cried into the sky, absolutely furious to cover for his panic. He dug ferociously, wondering what to do, growling and snarling to himself. After awhile of fruitless digging, he collapsed on his side, but not of exhaustion, but of frustration. He snarled to himself, when he heard a faint voice: 'Help...oh please, somebody help....' moaned a voice miserably. InuYasha listened carefully. It sounded like the person was far away. 'InuYaaaashaaaa....' came the faint voice, and InuYasha, with a start, realized that it was Kagome, and she sounded weak. 'KAGOME! KAGOME, WHERE ARE YOU?' cried InuYasha, not moving at all in case he missed her faint voice, from somewhere around here. The voice stopped for a moment, then, uncertainly, it came again: 'I-Inu...Yasha?' 'Yes, it's me! Where are you?' The voice went silent after InuYasha spoke. He looked around for her, sniffed but couldn't smell her, or sense anyone but himself...no wait, was that her that he felt just now? And scented? Very vague, very peculiar... 'InuYasha...' it sounded as if Kagome was crying now. 'InuYasha...the well closed as soon as I got in it. I wasn't sure if I was in the past or present...I just knew it was caved in and I was trapped...the food in my backpack has run out...' InuYasha panicked. What if he couldn't find her in time? He began to dig furiously, until he fell through a pit in the ground, and almost fell on top of Kagome, who was crouch in the corner and crying her eyes out. 'Are you okay Kagome?' 'I'm so sorry!' she sobbed. 'I'm sorry I sat you, I'm sorry I went down the well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!' she wailed and through herself into InuYasha's completely unsuspecting arms. 'Er...yeah, . . .I...I'm sorry, too....' InuYasha seriously hoped she knew how much effort it took him to say that to her face, and she seemed to, because her pale face glowed as she smiled up at him. 'Oh InuYasha, I don't think I can ever see my family again, though...' she said, the smile slipping away once more. InuYasha blinked at her as she buried her face in his kimono and wept.
InuYasha was sitting atop a tree that night, thinking about the well. What could mess with the well's powerful magic? He couldn't figure it out. Looking down at the camp, he saw that the four of his companions were already asleep...at least he thought that until Kagome appeared next to him. 'Oh...hi.' 'Hey...listen, I needed to tell you something about the well.' InuYasha's ears perked up at this, and he looked at Kagome with anticipation written about his features. 'Well...before I saw it cave in, I saw a silhouette against the sun...I still couldn't tell if it was modern or feudal...but...but it sort of looked like...well...Kikyo...' Kagome didn't want to sound as if she was just trying to land Kikyo in trouble. 'Kikyo...' muttered InuYasha, and he thought rapidly. Something suddenly hit him. 'Damn it! Kagome, get your bow and stay here; please keep watch. I'm sure I'll be back soon,' said InuYasha, who then leapt away without a backward glance. 'InuYasha!' she cried after him, but soon did what he told, and fetched her bow, and sat in Inu's tree, keeping careful watch. InuYasha had gone almost 3 miles in under half an hour, and began to catch the faint scent that he searched for. 'KIKYO!' he cried, and found a woman with long, midnight hair, the bottoms of her red hakama in a stream. She turned her dark head and cast her dark eyes on InuYasha, looking mildly surprised. 'The well!' InuYasha roared. 'You're the only one with enough power and reason to seal the well!' he continued furiously, pointing a clawed finger at her. 'You almost killed Kagome!' Much to his surprise, though, Kikyo flinched, and place her pale hands on the top and bottom of his outstretched one, and placed it over her heart...or at least, where it should have been, but it was still. 'I was hoping to trap her in her own home, in the future. You should've been happy...she'd be safe.' 'But you didn't bother to check!' cried InuYasha, getting over his shock. 'Feel that InuYasha?' 'Feel what?' 'Nothing...if she died, my whole soul would be mine, and I would live...truly live in flesh and bone, not just dirt. She's nothing but a foolish reincarnate...don't you agree? We could have another chance...' Kikyo whispered, moving closer to InuYasha. 'It could be like it used to be...' And for a moment, InuYasha remembered. Just, happy times, like that day he'd come to the village and done absurd things to impress Kikyo, who would just laugh. He brought her a demon head once, but after her reaction (she went rather paler and was almost sick) he didn't try it again. InuYasha shook his head and looked at the current Kikyo. 'You're not that Kikyo...it can never be the same. Move on Kikyo,' said InuYasha harshly, although it pained him. Kikyo looked put out, and sighed. Nothing ever worked... InuYasha yanked his hand back, somewhat proud of himself for this, and quickly leapt away back to camp before anything else happened to complicate things. He left Kikyo standing in the stream, stock still.
Inu returned to camp later that night, only to find it torn up. His friends lay unconscious around him...and blood was strewn about...and it was the blood of the only one missing...Kagome...
