Chapter1: In Which the Well Has a Very Busy Day!
by Raven Dhancer
Lucy panicked! None of the doors would open, 'Ah, finally.' She slipped inside the barren room. The only furniture was a foreign looking wardrobe.
Right outside the door, "I'm sure I saw Lucy come this way."
'Right! The wardrobe it is then,' she opened it to find lots of colorful, looking robe-y things, 'We can play dress up with these later.' Shutting the door behind her, she slipped past the silken material to the back, hoping they would hide her from "It." The cupboard seemed much deeper than it had looked, past the robes she still couldn't feel the back, or see it as it was dark as a moonless night.
There was a flash of blue! When the spots cleared from her eyes, Lucy found herself at the bottom of a dirty hole with, ewww, bones in it, open to a very blue sky.
Somebody peered in at her, "Oi, who are you and what are you doing down there? You better come up. Inuyasha will be pissed if you're there when he and Kagome get back."
Getting out of the hole seemed like a good plan especially since there was no door clearly marked "wardrobe" so Lucy laboriously climbed up the vines. Out, she finally got a good look at the person. He had red hair, cute pointed ears, cuter little furry feet and cutest of all, a big bushy tail. Lucy squeed with delight and picked Shippou, for that's who it was, up and gave him a big squeeze, "Who are you? What are you? Besides the most adorable thing I've ever seen?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Susan was bored. It was an unusually hot day and she was lying on her bed playing with her clockwork teddy bear, Mr. Stiffy. Mr. Stiffy was her favorite, but she had been doing this for a while now and Mr. Stiffy was a little short on creativity, as well as being a little short in general. She put on a dress and went out to find somebody life-sized to play with.
Ten minutes later she was leading the gardener Mr. Higurashi, who couldn't believe his luck, down one of the upstairs halls. "Dear Forum" he thought feverishly, "I never thought this would ever happen to me..."
She lead him into the small room with the wardrobe. The door was barely closed when she turned and gave him a kiss that moved him up onto the balls of feet. He pressed up against her trying to feel her from his head to his toes. She wrapped her arms around him leaning back against the wardrobe for support.
The doors of the wardrobe held for about 10 seconds, normally long enough one of Susan's boyfriends, but Mr. Higurashi was made of stronger stuff. They fell backwards. "Goddamn flat-pack furniture!" she thought before they made a soft landing in fur coats and scarves. A bit of rearrangement and they were off to the races.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Naraku awakened when he sensed a presence arrive in his realm. He could feel Kagome come and go, and what with Pocky runs for Shippo and Miroku's yakisoba habit, Naraku hadn't had a decent night's sleep in years. This was different though. It wasn't a steady presence. It was here then gone. Here, gone, here, gone, here, gone, here, gone, faster now, here-gone-here-gone-here-gone-here-gone-here-gone-here-gone-HERE-HERE-HERE and ... gone. It was gone. Naraku rolled over and tried to get back to sleep. Here ... gone ... here ... gone ...
With a blistering curse that light his bedside lamps, he rose and prepared to go forth and see what the hell was going on.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Edmund enjoyed spying. Spying on his sister with the middle-aged groundskeeper seemed a perfect way to spend the afternoon.
He followed the two down the winding hallways of the old mansion, keeping just out of sight. As they settled against an old wardrobe, Edmund risked a peek at the two lovers and almost laughed at the funny smile on the man's face. Edmund smacked his gum gleefully as the Susan and her new friend tumbled into the wardrobe. He allowed himself a giggle at this. Witnessing his sister's humiliation had left him feeling brave.
"Susan, that's what you get," he yelled into the wardrobe.
Silence.
Thinking the two must have knocked themselves out, he leaned in for a peek. "Susan, Mr. Higu…gu…ranchi," he whispered and pushed farther into the wardrobe.
You know the rest. However, instead of the White Witch, there was a striking, dark-haired, but no less sinister man who called himself Naraku.
"You want what?"
"Turkish Delight. I adore the stuff."
Edmund held out his grubby palm expectantly.
Nararku looked over at Kanna and shrugged. He placed something cool and sparkly against Edmund's hand. When the boy reached down to pick it up and have a look, the sparkling shard had disappeared.
"What was that? Wha… where'd it go," he asked as he inspected his empty right hand.
Naraku narrowed his ruby-tinted orbs at the boy. "Return to your world and bring your brothers and sisters to me. Do not fail me."
Edmund nodded, feeling strangely compelled to obey.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
At first, Lucy had a very nice afternoon with Shippou. He pulled out some of his drawings, which were really good, though she didn't understand why they were of a cat and a dog at first. Then they colored together while eating Pocky.
After a while, when the Pocky was gone, there was a big ruckus. She looked up from her drawings to see a very scary boy, he had fangs and claws, dragging her disheveled sister by her collar with one hand and the equally disheveled gardener with the other. She was pretty sure that the words the scary boy was saying to her sister weren't appropriate for a girl of her tender years so she was eagerly committing them to memory for future reference. A pretty Chinese girl was with there, too but she wasn't saying anything, just staring at the gardener.
The gardener was struggling and doing weird hand movements like a combination of patty cake and rude gestures with himself, "Demon begone! I command you!"
"Old man! You're just pissing me off!" the scary boy snarled.
"That's Inuyasha. He's only a half demon, not a full demon like me," remarked Shippou puffing out his chest, such as it was.
The Chinese girl said, "Is that really you, Jii-chan? Why are you cavorting with this trollop," Susan looked offended, "and since when could you go through the well?"
"Witch, do not be so familiar to me and at least she," nodding at Susan, "doesn't consort with demons."
The Chinese girl almost growled, "I haven't been consorting with anybody!" She didn't look too happy about it either.
