"Come on InuYasha! Quit being so whiny! I have to go back!" Kagome was complaining loudly that sunny afternoon, her path being blocked by a grouchy hanyou with yellow eyes and flowing silver hair, "My cousin is visiting today! I haven't seen him in years and I really need to be there to greet him!"
"We still have a lot of jewel shards to collect, wench!" InuYasha snapped, his arms crossed stubbornly over his chest, "We don't have time to wait around for you to come back!"
"It's only three days! Don't be so unreasonable!"
"No way in hell," InuYasha snapped decisively, hands now on his hips, "You're staying right here, end of story!"
Kagome's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. She was tired of this argument, "SIT!"
The beads of subjection glowed before the hanyou was slammed face first into the ground. He let out a pained grunt as he hit the dirt floor and Kagome stepped over him. Carrying her large yellow backpack, she jogged over to the well and tossed her legs over the side, peering over her shoulder at InuYasha as she called out to him, "I'll be back in three days! Don't even think about coming for me before then, alright?"
InuYasha growled as Kagome turned and jumped down into the well, a bright light appearing from the well as she disappeared into it.
'Damn that wench...'
Yuki Sakuragi adjusted the strap on his carry on as he waved down cab from in front of the Tokyo bus station. Music thrummed in his ears from the tiny set of headphones he wore, connected to his mp3 player that was tucked away in his back pocket. This weekend was a long one, and he had made plans to visit his favorite cousin Kagome. Her and her family only lived a few cities from him, and he missed them so he figured a visit had been long overdue.
Besides, things at home were getting more and more unbearable. His mother's drinking had gotten worse; she had been like this ever since the divorce. It wasn't like he didn't understand how she was feeling, he just wished that she could talk to him about it instead of drowning her sorrows in liquor. He figured some time away from her would do good for both her and him.
A cab pulled over and he slipped into the back. He told the driver where he was headed to and he drove off, joining the busy streets of Tokyo. Yuki sat back against the seat, pulling out a book and flipping it open as he settled down for the ride.
He couldn't tell how much time had passed, but eventually the cab driver pulled up to the Higurashi Shrine. He thanked the man and climbed out the taxi. He sighed upon seeing just how many stairs he had to take to get to the home... He was probably just being lazy.
He began the trek up the long staircase.
Once he reached the top, he was greeted by his youngest cousin, Sota, "Hey there squirt!"
"Yuki-kun! It's been too long," the young boy greets him and jogs up to him. They exchange a hug and a smile, "Come on in, everyone's waiting for you!"
"Great," Yuki replied and followed after the kid. He entered the house, removing his shoes at the entrance and stepping over the foyer. His carry on was taken from him and Sota told him he would take it to the guest room for him. He disappeared up the staircase before Yuki could protest.
"Well if it isn't my favorite cousin!" a familiar voice says cheerfully, and Yuki smiles widely upon seeing Kagome.
"Kagome-chan!" he greeted her, and they gave each other a tight hug in greeting.
"How have you been?" she asks with a smile, and she is as beautiful as ever. With her almond shaped brown eyes and her long mane of black hair, accompanied by her warm smile and kind disposition, his cousin was simply lovely, "It feels like years since we've last seen each other."
"Well, it's nearly been a year," Yuki says and smiles sweetly. Kagome couldn't help but smile back. Her cousin was so cute. He had a gentle demeanor and he was soft spoken, even his voice had a soft and light ting to it; like bells. He had soft strawberry blonde hair that was on the long side and framed his feminine features. Long eyelashes rested over big, golden amber eyes. He was slim and half a head shorter then she was, with pale smooth skin. Her cousin had always been on the girly side, "You've grown taller Kagome, you're even taller than me now!"
"You were always on the short side," Kagome teased him and gave him a playful swat on the shoulder.
Yuki let out a laugh and nodded, "Yes, I guess that's true."
"Well, come on in! Mom made dinner already," Kagome says and leads the way into the dining room.
"I always loved your mother's cooking," Yuki says before he greets Kagome's mother and grandfather.
Dinner was uneventful; they all just made small talk and stuffed their faces with Kagome's mother's impressive cooking. Kagome was talking excitedly about them going to the movies tomorrow or maybe even going shopping. While shopping didn't really sound like an appealing idea; the movies Yuki was perfectly okay with. But he smiled and nodded as she began to tell him what was new with her life; leaving out the feudal era part.
Kagome wasn't sure how she was going to tell him about that, since he was only staying for a few days. She planned to be around until the end of his visit, so maybe she could avoid it. That's if InuYasha doesn't show up and throw a temper tantrum and drag her back to the feudal era. She certainly hoped he didn't do that; she really wanted to spend time with her beloved cousin.
They stayed up late, playing games, catching up, and just having a fun time. Kagome's mother and grandfather retired to their rooms early and Sota followed soon after. He and Kagome were left lounging around the living room, watching some sitcom that they didn't know the plot to but were laughing at anyways.
The phone began to ring. Kagome excused herself and stood up to go answer it; judging by her greeting and the way she spoke, it was probably one of her friends on the line. She excused herself again with an apologetic hand wave and Yuki merely waved it off as she exited the room.
A light caught his eye. He turned his head to peer curiously at a large yellow backpack leaned up against the far wall, he had been too busy talking with Kagome to really notice at first, but there was a distinct light coming from her backpack. He tried to ignore it; even turn his back on it, but it felt like it was calling to him now. He stood up and made his way over to the backpack. He knew it wasn't a good idea to look through other people's stuff, and he wasn't sure what was making him do this, but he couldn't stop himself. The light only seemed to glow brighter.
He reached into the front pocket of the bright yellow backpack and pulled out a tiny jar. Within it, he could see what appeared to be small purple shards. They seemed to pulse in his palm. He popped the lid open and pulled out one, seeming to be entranced by it.
As he gazed at it, he could hear footsteps approaching. Panicking, he put away the jar back where he found it and stuffed the jewel into his back pocket, scrambling back to where he was sitting and trying to play it cool.
"Miss me?" Kagome greets, hanging up the phone and walking over to sit down next to him once again.
"You know it," Yuki replied, glad she didn't seem to notice his discomfort.
Yuki laid wide awake in bed at 1:00 in the morning. He held the jewel shard in front of his eyes, not sure what it was or why he felt such a pull to it. He should find a way to return it to where he found it; it wasn't his and he shouldn't of taken it in the first place.
For now, he tucked the shard away in the back pocket of a pair of his jeans, should an opportunity arise where he could slip it back into the yellow backpack without anyone noticing, before turning on his side and closing his eyes. Hopefully he might be able to get some sleep before Kagome drags him out tomorrow for their 'day of fun'.
He was awakened the next morning upon hearing a loud bang. It was seven in the morning and he was sleepy as hell, but he could hear arguing and then Kagome's voice, "SIT BOY!" followed by another loud bang. He groaned and rubbed his sleepy face, wondering what the hell was going on. He got out of bed and quickly changed into some jeans, a white button up shirt, and a light green sweater jacket. He patted his unkept hair down before exiting his room to see what was going on out there.
What he was faced with, he wasn't sure.
There was a silver haired boy with dog ears standing in the hall and in heated argument with Kagome. He had her arm in a tight grip and was yelling, "We gave you plenty of time in your own era! You need to come back now! Naraku isn't getting any less dead with you dilly-dallying here!"
Dog boy wasn't making any sense, but then again Yuki was still pretty out of it.
Maybe the sleep deprivation was getting to him, "Um, what's going on here?"
Kagome was staring in mortification at Yuki while the silver haired boy just seemed to be irritated, the yellow backpack gripped in one clawed hand.
"I don't have time to explain, kid!" he snapped and grabbed Kagome's arm once again, dragging her away, "You're coming with me, Kagome!"
Before Yuki could try to stop them, they were already out the door.
"Kagome!" Yuki called out, worried for his cousin.
Who was that weirdo? Why had he come and abducted Kagome? Yuki didn't linger on the thought before he was out the door, slipping on his shoes on the way and peering about outside. He was about to head for the staircase when he caught a glimpse of white hair disappearing into the shed where the Bone Eater's well was. He's seen the well a few times, and he's always felt a strange pull towards it whenever he was around it, so he frequently tried to avoid getting too close. But Kagome was in danger.
Steeling his nerve, he followed them into the shed, but upon opening it, he didn't see either of them. Glancing about, he made his way down the stairs and peered around in the dark room. He couldn't catch any sight of his cousin or the white haired man that came and grabbed her.
Inching closer to the well, he peered down into its depths. Predictably, he couldn't see them inside the dusty well. But apparently, he was leaning too far over the edge and he lost his balance. His arms waved, frantically trying to keep himself upright, but he fell, headfirst into the well.
'Oh crap, i'm going to hit my head really hard! or land on my neck!'
He closed his eyes and braced himself, but no pain or impact came. He was blinded by a blinding purple light. His eyes opened against the light, and he found himself surrounded by purple and blue light. It felt like he was floating or something; completely weightless. A glowing light was coming from his pocket, and his hand reached in to tug out what appeared to be the jewel he took from Kagome's yellow backpack.
'The jewel... I almost forgotten about it. I put it in this pair of pants last night?' he thought in confusion before he found himself unceremoniously dumped unto the cold floor.
"Okay, that didn't hurt at all," Yuki mumbled to himself, rubbing his head softly as he pushed himself to his feet. He tipped his head back and looked up, only to be greeted by bright sunshine and a nice blue sky.
'Alright, where the hell did the roof go?'
Yuki thought to himself, deadpanning. He pushed himself to his feet and dusted himself off; he couldn't stay down here forever. He found some vines running down the inside of the well- which he could swear wasn't there before- and pulled himself up. He climbed up the side of the well with slight difficulty, pulling himself over the edge.
Okay, this was weird.
He was surrounded by forest. Birds sang in the air, a light breeze was rustling the trees and brushed over his cheeks, sweeping his hair sideways. He pulled himself up and swung his legs over, sliding off unto the soft grass.
'Grass...? What the hell? Where the hell am I?'
