Inuyasha's Baby-sitting Blues!

*

For every generation, there has to be some sort of baby-sitter

*

"Kagome! Kagome, is that you?" Hojo yelled as he waved and ran towards the half-tired Kagome.

"Yeah, it's me all right," She replied.

"Is your throat okay?"

"What?!"

"Your grandfather told me you had strep throat, so I brought you something for it," He handed her a beautifully gift-wrapped bag with medicine inside.

'Well at least this is better than when Gramps said I had Athletes foot or Measles...'

"Well, I'm okay now, thanks anyway Hojo,"

"That's good to hear...well see you in class tomorrow?" He smiled a bit.

"Hopefully,"

They walked until they reached the Shrine in which Kagome lived. Inside, she took her shoes off and saw her Grandpa.

"Hey Grandpa,"

"Well, you're back! Good to see you Kagome!" The phone rang, and he picked it up, "Hello? Oh, Serenity...nope, no, sorry, Kagome's sick today...she's got the chicken pox,"

"GRANDPA!! I'M STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!"

"Oh, oh, yes I've forgotten, she's recovered from that...here she is!"

When Kagome finished chatting on the phone, she packed up her bag and went to the well. Her grandpa told her to stay because she just got back, and because he was running out of excuses to tell the public. But she said she really had to go, for Inuyasha and the others really needed her help. The old man didn't bother anymore, and just left her be. Kagome sat at the edge of the well; little did she know a pair of curious little blue eyes was watching her.

A little girl of at least five with straight blonde hair, blue eyes, a straw hat, and ragged torn clothing watched Kagome's from the shadows. She watched as Kagome jumped into the well, and disappear to the darkness. She gasped and ran over to the well and looked in--she couldn't believe her eyes. Kagome wasn't at the bottom of the well--she was gone...but where'd she go?

The child looked down still and kept searching for the girl she saw seconds ago. The little girl sat on the edge and leaped in waiting to hit the bottom of the well. But it never came. She kept falling...she saw all the colours swirl about her as she went by and then finally, reached the dirt bottom of the well.

The lass fixed her eyes to the top of the well and began climbing her way out. Her blue eyes peered over the top, and saw whole different scenery. There was lush green grass growing and many trees and flowers; bees and butterflies buzzed about busily. She saw a man with silvery white hair and hawk yellow eyes in the distance. He looked about 19 or 20, and he had small dog ears up top his head. He held a sword, an extremely large sword, over his shoulder as he talked to Kagome, the girl she saw jump in the well and disappear.

"Hey! Wait up!" The little girl yelled as she jumped out of the well and towards them.

The man readied his sword and pointed it over the girl's head, holding it with two hands, "Who are you?"
