"Don't be Late"

"It's only three days Inu Yasha! Don't make a big deal out of it!" Kagome said walking towards the well that would bring her home. "Why do you have to go back in the first place? Wait; don't tell me." Inu Yasha sarcastically replied. "Exams." The two said in unison. "I promise! It will only be three, ok?" "Feh. Fine, go. But don't be late!" Kagome looked back at him, then climbed into the well. *

Inu Yasha was waiting impatiently. ' When is she gonna get back? Kagome said 3 days, not four!' Inu Yasha sat by the well with annoyance, the usual, waiting for the ningen girl to arrive. He had been there yesterday and today, and still she had not come. He was starting to worry. 'Maybe she's in trouble.' "Hey Shippo, I think Inu Yasha is worried about Lady Kagome." The priest Miroku said to the young demon kitsune. The little boy stared at Inu Yasha wondering if what the priest said was true. "Feh! Then you think too much. Come on. We're goin back to the village. If she wants to be late, let her find us." Inu Yasha stated. With that, they went back to the nearby village to wait. As soon as the company left and was out of sight, a demon crawled out of the bushes. He was lucky his brother hadn't smelled him. Now he knew a way to get back at his loathed brother. All he had to do was find this wench he obviously cared about. Taking her would surely be enough revenge.for now. The demon known as Sesshimaru now knew where the ningen girl lived. He simply had to jump through the well, and find her. Sesshimaru took prideful strides towards the well with a dangerous-looking smirk across his face. This was too easy. * Kagome was trying to get home as quickly as possible. 'Inu Yasha is going to mad, I should've been back yesterday.' She hurried through the streets of Japan, taking all the shortcuts she knew about. She turned into another ally, running. A big, burly man stepped out of the shadows and she ran into him. Falling on the muddy earth, she quickly said "Gomen nasai!" He smiled at her contently and said with cruelty "Not nearly sorry enough." He pulled out a knife. "Get up. Now!" Kagome got up, not believing that this was happening to her. She should've gone back yesterday! It began to rain again. The man grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her through a door into a dark abandoned room. He gave her a horrible smile. 'Inu Yasha help me!' * Shippo had forgotten his sack. He walked back to the well. When he got there, he couldn't believe what he saw. Sesshimaru was jumping into the well! He turned around and hurried off to tell Inu Yasha. * Sesshimaru was falling, then suddenly he landed. He crawled out of the well, and grabbed some furniture and threw it down into the hole. 'I better make sure my brother can't get here.' and he walked off to find the ningen. * "NANI???? What does that bastard think he's doing?????" Inu Yasha yelled as he was flying through the trees towards the well. He got there and he could definitely smell his brother. Then it him "Kagome." He jumped into the well and fell onto the dirt, pounding his fists. "Nooooo!" * Sota saw the strange being walking out of his family's shrine. He assumed he was one of his sister's friends from the past. Thinking of his sister, he began to wonder where she was. He started to walk back to his house to check if Kagome was there when he felt a strong hand on his shoulder. "Where's Kagome, brat?" The demon said. "S-s-she should b-be coming home f-from school s-sir.that way." Sota stuttered. And with that Sesshimaru took off in the direction the child had pointed. * "Leave me alone! Let me go home!" Kagome screamed. "Shut up bitch! You will not go home until I allow you to do so. Now come here." The man stated to a trembling Kagome crouched in the corner. He walked to the scared girl and picked her up and began tearing at her shirt. Kagome pounded her fists on her captor's chest with no effect. As she screamed, the door opened and a shadowed figure stood by the door. "Inu Yasha!!!!" Kagome wailed. The man dropped her and got ready to fight. Kagome didn't see the battle, in an instant the kidnapper was lying dead on the concrete floor. She ran to 'Inu Yasha' and began crying on his shirt. "Thank God. I was so scared, Inu Yash." She looked up into his face and took a step back. " Oh no." "What's this? Not happy to see me?" Sesshimaru said.
