For You, my Love

Chapter One

Inuyasha stared at the sky, from his place in a familiar tree. His silver hair bristling softly in the gentle breeze of the air, but his eyes were annoyed. The Tetsusaiga was at his side, as usual, and one hand was clasped over the hilt of the sword. The half-demon's gaze dropped down, and strayed over to the Bone Eater's Well. Where Kagome had passed through, and she still had not returned. Of course, Inuyasha had gone over, but she simply had chased him out with the excuse that she had exams.

Figures.

He sighed, and he ran clawed hands through his hair. Sensitive ears then perked up, catching an unknown sound. The dog demon stood up on the branch, and pulled out his faithful sword, and it transformed to its magnificent form, very different then the rusty version of itself. Golden eyes glanced about, his nose sniffing. Nothing. Narrowing his eyes, he growled out to whoever was out there.

"Show yourself!"

Nothing moved, and he simply stood there, ready with his Tetsusaiga held up and waiting. He frowned, and the sword transformed back, and he placed it back into his sheath. But his hand remained on the hilt, ready to pull it out if it was necessary. Could he just be paranoid? No. He was sure of it, a youkai's scent had been here, and his ears had heard it. Whatever it was, it had disappeared. The hanyou looked down, and jumped off the branch, to walk over to the familiar Well, and he stared down into its darkness. Why did it take her always so long? Didn't make sense, whatever she did there wasn't as important as getting Naraku and the jewel shards. He let his arms rest on the border of the well, and he continued to stare down at the well.

As far as he knew, Sango, Miroku and Shippou were at the village, and Miroku no doubt getting his dirty mind take over. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at this, and continued to stare down. His ears perked up, and he heard the soft rustling of the grasses, announcing the young fox-demon's arrival. He turned around, and sat with the well against his back, and he watched him come.

Shippou ran over to him, stopping when he got to his side. He crossed his arms over his small chest, and he spoke smugly, and it made Inuyasha snort at him.

"You really can't wait can't you? But of course, since you're in lo-"

"Shaddaup!"

Inuyasha snarled, giving the kitsune a good hit on the head. Shippou whimpered, and he rubbed at his head. Giving the violent half-demon a look, he hopped onto the lip of the well, and sat down. He crossed his arms again, and closed his eyes, an annoyed look to his face. Inuyasha scoffed, and he also crossed his arms, and kept an I-don't-care stance, but his mind was still on Kagome.

Kagome was at her house, sitting on her desk, and staring at her math homework. How the heck was she supposed to understand this? She let her head drop to the desktop, and she groaned. She was so behind her classmates, however was she going to pass the test to get into High School when it came? Concentrate, she urged herself, and she stood up straight again, looking to the questions that were on her textbook, then turned to look at the paper. She picked up her pencil, and she copied down the question first.

3a (2c 10) ?

"Arrgghh! I don't get this!"

The miko cried, grabbing at her black hair, and whimpered. She was going to fail the exam, wasn't she? She thought if she stayed a little longer at home this time she could maybe get the studying done for the next math test… but she didn't get it. She then closed her textbook with a snap, and she stood up, running her fingers through her hair. Inuyasha was already mad that she had stayed longer, and she wasn't really going forward, might as well make her way over there again.

She grabbed her yellow bag, which by now has long stretched from all the things he placed inside of it. Kagome placed a 'few' things inside, then dragged her bag to the kitchen, placing food inside, making sure to put a treat for everybody. She smiled, and she slung it over her shoulder, ready to make her way to the Feudal era. She walked to the front door, and waved back to no one in particular, calling as she left.

"Bye, Mom! Bye Grandpa and Souta!"

Kagome ran to the Well, and made her way down the stairs, and was about to hop in, but then she felt something. She looked behind her, and frowned. She could swear she had felt the presence of a jewel shard… maybe this was getting already too stressing for her. Oh well, it wasn't the time for that. She threw over her backpack first, still keeping hold, and she hoped in, letting the blue lights pull her through the generations.

She looked up at the sky, now that she was in the past. Huh, she would've thought Inuyasha would be there waiting for her. The black haired girl climbed out of the well, and she threw the yellow bag on the ground, and she sat on the lip of the wooden well. She blinked her brown eyes, and surveyed the scene. It seemed so quiet, where was everyone? Kagome leaned forwards, but something pressed against her skin, like thread.

Strange, she thought to herself, and she put her hand forwards, and ran it against the thread, till she felt the thin substance against her skin, and it sunk into her palm, piercing her skin. She immediately pulled back her hand, and she looked at it as blood bubbled up slowly. Well, that was inconvenient.

Looking up, she then felt the presence of a jewel shard dimly near. In the village! She stood up, but another thread pressed against her leg, piercing it as well, and she sat back down. How was she going to do this? She narrowed her eyes, to see if maybe she could see a glint or something of the sort. It would help. But she saw nothing, only the fake emptiness of the air. She remembered Yura of the Hair, she had been able to see that demon's hairs in the air, too bad she couldn't this time.

Kagome stood up again, and she placed her hands in front of her face, and clutched her eyes tight. She then ran forwards, and she felt the threads against her skin, tearing it slightly, but soon enough, she felt she was free from it. Opening her eyes warily, she looked around, then to her hands. She bit her lower lip, she should clean it out… but then looked at the Well, and her bag was happily sitting there, with the first aid kit inside. Great. Brilliant, she had left it there.

Oh well, she couldn't exactly go get it now, could she? She turned around, but intelligent brown eyes continued to watch around her, and she carefully started to walk. Something wrapped around her ankle, however, and it pulled her, dropping her to the ground. She gave a short shriek, and something wrapped around her mouth. Her arms, which were still free, began tugging at whatever wrapped her mouth, and attempting to rip it off.

Another one made twined itself onto her other ankle, and finally she broke the one around her mouth, dissolving into pink light. She cried out in a plea before the threads wrapped around her and she was dragged off.

"INUYASHAAAA!"

Inuyasha was at the village, his Tetsusaiga held out, and he faced the Spider demon that was before them. Something was wrong, he could feel it, but he couldn't drop out of this fight. He watched as Sango threw her Hiraikotsu, ripping through the air, and snapping off three of the demon's legs. The demon-slayer threw it again, but this time it shot a string of web, throwing back the giant boomerang towards her.

It hit her straight in the middle, throwing her back. Kirara ran towards her, catching her before she hit the ground hard. Miroku ran over to her, and Inuyasha turned once again towards the Spider.

What struck him as strange was that the demon said nothing, it did not shriek as its legs were cut off, as it was attacked. It wasn't normal. Nevertheless, Inuyasha smelled the clash of the two auras, and he swung his sword, crying out as the light burst out.

"KAZE NO KIZU!"

The brilliant lights of yellow rushed towards the demon, and it tore it apart, destroying it. Once it faded, Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. Expecting some sort of remains, he looked around, but saw nothing. Except some sort of white dust that was left behind. He turned around to walk over to Sango and Miroku, but then a familiar scream filled his ears.

"INUYASHAAAA!"

"Kagome!"

Inuyasha cried, and he ran, towards the source of the sound. He made his way over quickly, towards the Bone Eater's Well, but he found nothing. He saw the yellow bag of Kagome's beside the well, and walked over. He halted, and sniffed the air. Blood. Kagome's Blood. He looked around, trying to find some sort of clue to what had happened, but he saw nothing. Frustrated, he called out.

"Damn it! Come out and face me!"
