Youkai of the Well

Kagome sighed and soaked up the rays of the bright sun of

the Feudal Era she grew up in-the only sun she knew. She was

taking a bath in a nearby pond, washing off the day's episodes of

being the Priestess and protector of the legendary Shikon Jewel.

In being that Priestess comes great responsibility, and that

responsibility reflected better in her protector, Hojo, than in

the bubbly Priestess herself. Hojo was made by Kagome to stand

behind some dense shrubbery, not looking of course, while she took

her bath.

"Come on, Kagome, finish and get outta there. How am I supposed to

know if you get snagged by some kind of demon or something?" Hojo

whined from behind the brush. Kagome laughed and stepped up on the

shore to put her cloths back on.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say Hojo." She put her Kimono on and

tied the waist. "Hey, Hojo, do you want to go pick wildflowers or

something" she asked, stepping around the shrubbery and tying her

long black hair back.

"Sure, there's nothing else really to do, we've finished

everything else."

"Okay!" Kagome bubbled and skipped through the forest to an open

plain where wildflowers grew more plentiful than the grass. This

was her favorite spot, shown to her by her grandmother, Kikyou.

Whom she remembered fondly in spite of the brutal murder that

marked her end.

"Pick a lot of red, Kaede likes red ones" Hojo suggested as he sat

down on the edge of the trees.

"Yeah, the ones we picked last week are kinda wilting and dying,

she needs new ones" Kagome seriously set out on this serious task

of concocting a new flower arrangement for her great aunt.

"Haha! Those bastards can't catch me now!" Inuyasha ran into an

old abandon shack as an attempt to escape the cops. Someone had

seen his ears and claws and turned him in. He knew he shouldn't

have come back. He belonged in the Feudal Era, with other demons;

with Kikyou. He had been gone for a little over a week and thought

that maybe now the stupid bitch had learned her lesson. He quickly

changed into the pink kimono that he had left in the shack and

threw his other clothes aside. Taking a deep breath, he jumped

into the bone eater's well.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha exclaimed as he emerged on the

other side. "It smells different, and everything looks a little

different. It looks like the ivy has grown way over the well and

the rock is weathered, too. Hmmm…" He thought this over for a

minute, but decided that enough was the same, because he smelled

Kikyou. She smelled a little different, but hey, most people did

after a week of no him! He thought narcissistically. He

confidently strode towards the scent of the love of his life.

"What the hell?" Kagome thought as she looked up from her

flowers and saw a white haired youkai walking calmly towards her.

She vaguely remembered him from somewhere, but where… "Oh my God"

she gasped

"What?" Hojo asked concernedly

"MURDERER!!!!!!!" She yelled and quickly drew her arrow back to

her shoulder and released…

Inuyasha was too stunned to move. Kikyou had just pinned

him to a tree! "What the fuck?" he spat. "Woman! You are really

starting to get on my nerves!" He yelled, because that was all he

was able to do, some kind of binding spell cast over the arrow

held him tightly to the tree. He scowled as she walked over to him

and smiled a cold, hateful smile.

"So, why'd you come back, to kill me too? I'm not as weak as my

mother or an old lady like my grandmother, who you hated so much

just because she wouldn't give you the Jewel unless you were to

become human. You should have taken the offer from a lady as kind

as her, Gramps, cause I won't even give it to you then!" Her smile

broadened as she twisted the arrow in Inuyasha's gut and his face

twisted in pain.

"Dammit, Kikyou! I didn't kill your grandma! I didn't even know

her!"

"I'm Kagome, dammit! And you're a murdering half-blooded youkai!"

she screamed back and twisted the arrow more. "I hate you." she

said as she stepped back a foot from the tree and took out another

arrow. She pulled it back to her shoulder, pointing the arrow an

inch from his forehead…

"KAGOME!!!" Hojo yelled as he ran up with Kaede in tow. She jerked

and missed his head entirely. A bird met its fate with a squeak as

it fell out of the sky-Inuyasha sighed. Kagome cursed under her

breath and turned to them, red faced. "Wha-at? I was about to kill

him, c'mon…" Kouga appeared from the forest behind her and said,

"Is anything the matter, Kagome?" she turned around and threw her

arms around his neck.

"Kouga, Inuyasha appeared out of nowhere and…he's so vile…I don't

know how Grandmother Kikyou could've… he's too young, and I don't

understand! But I hate him!" She recanted while hugging Kouga.

"Well," Kouga looked at Inuyasha while Kagome stopped hugging him

and crossed her arms across her chest "what do you have to say for

yourself."

"This is shit, where's Kikyou? I demand to speak to my fiancée!"

Inuyasha said, eyes wild with confusion. Kaede gasped a little.

She held up her hands for silence.

"Inuyasha," He looked up at her "does ye remember me?"

"Ye…oh my God, Kaede? Why are you so old? Why does this girl you

call Kagome look like Kikyou and why the hell does she call me

'Gramps'?" he demanded, though obviously in no position to demand

anything.

"I do not know, I could be asking ye the same questions." Kaede

informed him. She looked at the others and said "Where's Hojo?"
