So I had this fic put off for a while but now it is up, enjoy!
Summary: Kagome finds herself in a strange new world as she tries to get home using the well but somehow gets transported to a whole new place. A man who goes by the name of Claude, happens to help Kagome out just as she was about to become the next victim of a murderer who had an intense killing spree just a few nights ago.
Is this Claude, a man that he says he is or is there some sort of secret behind his glasses?
Warning: Contains murder, don't like, don't read!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kagome or Claude.
Kagome howled in pain and held a hand to her back, rubbing it gently to wipe away the pain as best she could. She had just fallen down the well after backing up a bit too far. Inuyasha was about to send her back home when the demon they were fighting with earlier, attacked without warning.
She looked up and realized that she was no longer seeing a nice sunny sky that she saw just seconds before. Her face lit up with excitement thinking she was back at home to her family after being away for such a long time. Kagome got up from the ground and began climbing to the top of the well. Despite her still, aching back, Kagome was in no mood to whine about it since she knew she was home and that surely her mother would take good care of it.
But she wasn't home or in the other world she had come from. Getting a good look around, Kagome realized that she was inside someone's home. The place was a mess from what she could tell but nevertheless, a well kept room that showed what era she must be in.
"Maybe that monster has something to do with this…" Kagome thought as she looked back into the well only to discover that there were no lights from the jewel she had sensed in the demon that attacked and she no longer had the necklace of jewels around her neck.
She was trapped in a strange world that had no attachment to the world she had come from or her own world for that matter. Not that she knew of.
Kagome gulped as a shouting noise came from down stairs just below her. It sounded as though whose ever house she entered, the owner had come home and did not sound too bright.
She began to panic and tried to make herself unnoticeable by hiding behind a rotting chair that smelled like cigars. Holding her nose, Kagome sneaked around to the back of the large chair and crouched down, hoping the man wouldn't have noticed her being there.
'Of all places to go, why'd I end up here?' She thought as she waited silently for the man to hurry up and be on his way somewhere else so she could escape to her well. But upon noticing the hole in the middle of the floor, she saw that the well was missing. Just what was going on?
The man walked up the steps of a stair case and reached the room. He opened the door that was on its last hinge and upon opening, noticed that something was a bit off. The man sniffed around which caused Kagome to think about how well a man could smell when they enter their own homes and such.
Kagome shivered as a surprise wind chill went up her spine as the man took one look around the house and snarled. But as the man went walk around to where Kagome was hiding, another man wearing a pair of reading glasses, came from behind the man and stabbed the man on the spot, right through the chest.
Kagome put her hands to her mouth to stop herself from screaming or yelling out. But it was useless as the man had already known she was there. Kagome shut her eyes hoping it would all be just a dream but the man was not going away and with such a frightening look in the man's eyes, it was hard to think the man had a gentle side to him.
Feeling as though she were about to be murdered next, Kagome left her eyes shut but felt a pair of hands on her face, wiping away the tears she was shedding. She opened her eyes in shock and saw the man's face up close.
"Poor child, you look frightened. Won't you come with me?" Kagome shook her head no and got up while backing away slowly.
"You just killed someone, how do you honestly think I'll go with you anywhere?" She backed up again but this time felt her back hit against the wall.
"Uh, miss…" The man started to say but was cut off shortly by Kagome's loud screaming. She had fallen back against a closed shutter door of a window that had been poorly locked.
The man sighed and chuckled as he neared the window. He was gone in the blink of an eye and falling next to Kagome. The man grabbed Kagome and pulled her into his arms, carrying her off to the rooftop of another home nearby. Kagome was used to being rescued by men like this one. Reminding her of why she needed to go back home.
"Sorry, sir, if I sound a bit rude, but I need to go home now. Thanks for saving me!" Kagome was about to leave when she noticed she could not get off of a building as big as this one without the help of a ladder.
"Ah, but the well is gone, is it not?" Kagome stopped trying to find a way down and gave the man her full attention. What did this man know about the well she had come from?
A/n: And that's where it will stop for today! Tune in next time!
