It was again a wonderful day weather wise in the Sengoku Jidai period. Kagome dragged her large yellow bag along with her down the path to the village where Kaede's hut was. She hummed a tune and the birds whistled. 'I sure am lucky to be able to enjoy nature before industry ruined it all' she thought.
When she arrived at the village she was greeted by her traveling companions Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and of course Inuyasha. 'I never get tired of seeing them' she thought then said "Hey guys, guess what I brought!"
Shippo hopped up on her shoulder and said excitedly "Ninja treats!"
"That's right Shippo!" Inuyasha helped her with her bag and Shippo and he started to impatiently dig through all the stuff in her bag.
"Oreo's! My favorite!" Shippo jumped up and down with the package in his hands while Inuyasha continued to dig.
Inuyahsa sniffed and clawed and started to toss her stuff across the small hut. "Damn books, where'd the hell you put those noodle things? That's what I want!"
Algebra and Geometry texts went flying before Kagome lost her patience. "SIT BOY!"
"UuUuUugh." The pain in his face lasted only a moment, but Inuyasha's pride hurt for a while longer.
Kagome dragged the ravenously hungry dog demon away from her bag and in single motion brought out the Ramen he was seeking and threw it at his head. "THERE'S YOUR DARN NOODLES! INUYASHA, YOU NEED TO LEARN TO RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES THINGS!"
Inuyasha hopped to his feet and shook his fist in her face "WHADDYA MEAN? OTHER PEOPLES THINGS, EH? THOSE NOODLES ARE MINE!"
Kagome's face started to burn red and Miroku and Sango inched back out of the way of danger. Kirara hopped up onto Sango's lap and nuzzled there for comfort.
"MY THINGS! YOU JUST TOSS THEM AROUND LIKE THEY'RE NOTHING! IT SAYS TO ME THAT YOU THINK I'M NOTHING!" Kagome stormed out of the hut and back towards the well.
Kaede, who had been listening to them rolled her eyes and went back to her herb garden.
Not too far away Rin was plucking some dainty flowers from the fields and Jakan pestered her about it. "Why do you do this? My allergies are bad enough without you pulling up these weeds and throwing them around like you do!"
"I'm picking flowers for Lord Sesshomaru. He seems distracted lately."
"Why would he want little weeds! Achoo! Achoo!" the little toad demon demanded.
Lord Sesshomaru was not too far away examining a large tree. 'So this is where Inuyasha was pinned all those years. What a fool, giving his heart to a mortal. When will demonkind ever learn? Giving your heart to mortals will always end in your destruction. It did for my father and that sad excuse for a demon Inuyasha. What filth.'
His thoughts were interrupted by the scent of freshly picked flowers and the calls of a young girl. "Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! Look what I found for you!"
He turned and looked at Rin and the little purple blossoms that sprung from her fist. 'They smell sweet. Pleasant.' He was about to thank her when his ears picked up the familiar sounds of a couple fighting.
"We don't have time for this KAGOME! WE HAVE TO GO NOW!"
Sesshomaru picked up Rin and leapt straight up into the trees. 'Thank the gods that there is a downwardly wind, or he would have surely picked up our scents. I have no desire to explain to Rin why we fight. She would not understand, nor would she allow me to do what needs to be done. She would only get in the way.' Sesshomaru went back to watching Inuyasha and that Kagome girl who's always tagging along after him.
Rin was quiet and Jakan tried to scramble up the tree behind them with worried "ooooh oooh's" all the way. Before Jakan made it up to the top Sesshomaru squinted his eyes at the quarreling couple.
"I'M GOING HOME! IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT MY THINGS YOU CAN'T RESPECT ME!" screamed Kagome.
Inuyasha responded with "THEN I'M JUST GONNA FOLLOW YOU AND DRAG YOU BACK! NARAKU IS WEAK NOW! WE HAVE TO STRIKE WHILE WE CAN!"
Sesshomaru thought 'Why is she sitting on the edge of that old well? What is she doing?'
"I'M GOING AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" she yelled. With that last determined statement Kagome jumped down the well and was swallowed by a blue light.
Sesshomaru almost dropped Rin out of shock, but was quick to catch her. She giggled and thought it was all a game. 'Humans' he thought as he grimaced down at her.
He became even more curious when he saw his weakling half brother follow in suit. He glided down from the tree top just as Jakan made it up. "Ooooh milord, why do you do this to me?" he panted.
Sesshomaru did not answer Jakan's whine and placed Rin back down on the ground. She returned to her skipping, playing, and spinning in circles as Sesshomaru approached the well. He carefully peered over the edge and looked down inside. He was disgusted to see demon bones, but confused that he did not see the hanyou or his girl. He decided to jump in.
