I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter Two: The Well
Over the next few days, Kagome and I became close friends. She introduced me to her friends including Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri. They were all interested in the fashion that I was wearing that included jeans, t-shirts, and converses. They asked about all the hot American guys which I preceded to tell that I have never been kissed which shocked them.
"I have been on plenty of dates but most of them were after my parent's money," I explained. "I do not trust those who know my parents. Most of them are slimeballs."
"Slimeballs?" Eri looked confused.
"That's just an expression meaning that men are only after your fame and fortune," I explained the American slang term. All the girls nodded.
"Speaking of boys…Hojo-kun is coming over Kagome," Yuka giggled.
I saw Kagome roll her eyes and then turned towards the small boy walking towards the group. He had brown short hair and his face was exceedingly handsome.
"Hi, Kagome-san," the boy blushed. "How are you?"
"I am good, Hojo-kun," Kagome responded kindly.
"I have been trying to get a hold of you but your mother has told me that you were not doing well again," Hojo told Kagome. "Are you okay now?
Kagome nodded. "Yes, I am okay. I just had a bad illness for a couple of weeks. I was in the hospital for a few days."
I knew that she was lying. I had a gut feeling when people lied and that was a lie.
"Well, I was wondering if we could go to lunch sometime." Hojo asked blushing.
Kagome smiled. "Maybe we will. Why don't you call me tomorrow?"
Hojo nodded. "Sure that sounds great! Thanks!" He said running away.
The girls giggled. "Will you ever go out with him?"
Kagome sighed. "I like him as a friend. Plus, I have Inuyasha…"
"There she goes again about Inuyasha. The mystery boy that no one has seen," Ayumi rolled her eyes. "I have to go home guys. I'll see you around Kagome. Nice meeting you, Eliza-san."
The other girls took their leave as well leaving Kagome and me by ourselves.
"So…Inuyasha?" I inquired.
Kagome glared at me. "It's none of your business."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry," I apologized. "You promised me to take me to get kimonos."
Kagome smiled. "Right! Let's go!"
After trying and buying four new pairs of kimonos, we went back to the shrine for dinner. As we were walking up the steps, Kagome slowed down.
"I like Inuyasha," Kagome whispered.
I turned around to look at her. "What?"
"The hal-boy they were mentioning…" Kagome started. "I like him."
I looked at her as she hung her head low. "And? Why don't you tell him?"
She snapped her head up. "What?"
"If you like someone, you should tell them," I responded.
"It's not that simple," She sighed continuing to walk up the steps.
"Love isn't simple. But you can't hide from your feelings," I followed her. "If you hide your feelings how are they supposed to know?"
Kagome stopped at the top of the steps. "You are right. I will tell him. I'll tell him tonight."
"Tonight?"
Kagome looked at me. "He lives far away so I won't be back for a few weeks."
"A few weeks?"
She nodded. "Come on. Let's go eat dinner."
I couldn't understand it. How far away was this boy for her to be gone for a few weeks? I shook my head and followed her to the kitchen. After dinner I watched Kagome go to her room. I followed her and saw her packing a yellow backpack.
"I can go with you," I told her.
She looked up from packing and shook her head. "I will be fine."
"I could be your moral support and…"
"No! Eliza, you cannot come," Kagome exclaimed.
I nodded my head and left her room. I sat in my room thinking of what I could do. Her leaving meant that I would lose the one friend that I have made over the past few years. Kagome was a true friend to me and I would not be left behind with Eri, Ayuma, and Yuka. I made up my mind to follow Kagome to make sure she would be okay. I packed a tiny black backpack with two kimonos, jeans, and t-shirts. I brought hygiene products and some crackers and candy. I had enough money so I knew I was set. I waited until I heard Kagome's room door slide open. I heard the floor boards creak as she crept down the hall.
I slowly crept out my door leaving a note for Mama Higurashi. I heard the kitchen backdoor slide shut so I went through the kitchen grabbing some apples and went through the same door. Sliding it shut behind me, I look around to see a yellow backpack going towards a well house. I sneak around the back towards the well. I look into see a flash of light that blinded me for a second coming from the well and then complete silence. Thinking I was just caught by a flashlight beam, I continued to look around the well. I go towards the well slowly thinking where Kagome would be hiding. I touch the rim with my fingertips and looked down to see…nothing. I look around for Kagome to find the well completely alone yet the only door was the one she went in and I came in after her.
"I don't understand. She came in here," I muttered to myself. I throw a rock down the well that was laying on the edge of the rim. I hear it thunk on the bottom. "Maybe there is a trapped door on the bottom?"
I shake my head. "What am I doing?"
I start to walk away from the well in defeat. "No, go investigate the well. What do you have to lose?"
I swing my legs over the rim to find the stone notches that my feet slide into for climbing down. The well walls are damp as I slowly go down. "Just a little bit more…"
My hand slipped from its grip from the wall and I fell backwards to the bottom of the well. My thoughts of breaking my neck flash before my eyes. I squeeze them shut and….
THUD!
My feet hits the bottom of the well.
