Inuyasha

"The Last Piece of the Shikkon Jewel"

Part 2

Sachika woke up in the bottom of a well.

"Ugh...w-where am I?" she stood up and began to climb out of the well.

Outside...

Warm sunrays hit Sachika's skin as she jumped out of the well's entrance. A slight breeze played with her hair.

"It's about time you got back, hey! Who the hell are you?!" a white haired guy shouted.

"Uh..." Sachika stuttered. A little boy with fox feet and a bushy tail walked up to her.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Sachika. What's yours?" she replied.

"My name is Shippo. That guy over there is Inuyasha." The white haired guy scoffed.

"I'm guessing that Kagome came here after she fell inside that well." Sachika said.

"Duh. Wonder how long it took you to figure that one out." Inuyasha said. Somehow, the white haired half-breed felt attracted to the newcomer. He didn't know why though. Sachika walked around the well and sat down.

"What are you doing?" Shippo asked as he sat down beside the raven headed girl.

"Well, if dog boy thought I was Kagome, then I must've passed her on the way here. I think I'll wait for her." Sachika said as she glanced at Inuyasha. He had an angered expression on his face. She just smiled innocently as if she hadn't said anything.

Kagome crawled out of the well and smiled.

"Hey Grandpa, hey Sota." She said. Sota looked at Kagome and frowned. "What's the matter Sota?"

"Did you happen to pass Sachika on the way here?" he asked. Kagome's eyes widened.

"Are you telling me that she fell into the well?" she asked. Sota nodded. "Omigosh! That means that she must be with Inuyasha by now! If I know her she'll probably be seriously hurt or worse by the time I get back!" Kagome jumped back down into the well.

Kagome looked outside.

"Inuyasha?" she called out.

"It's about time you got back." A familiar voice said from within a nearby tree. Kagome looked up and heaved a sigh.

"Hey Kagome! What's up?" a feminine voice said. Kagome turned around and smiled as she jumped out of the well.

"Sachika!" Kagome shouted. The two hugged.

"I haven't seen you in forever!" Sachika exclaimed.

"I know! It's great to have someone who'll actually talk to me. How did you get here anyway? I'm the only one who can come down through the well." Kagome said.

"I think it may have something to do with my birthmark." Sachika said. She pointed to the small lump on her forehead. Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and grabbed a small bottle from Kagome's pack. The bottle contained a round jewel with a chip in its side. He held it up to Sachika's head and waited. When nothing happened he scoffed.

"Well, it's not a shard of the jewel." He said. Sachika smiled and began to play with the half-demon's ears.

"Your ears are so cute." She said. "I want ears like that." Kagome laughed at the dazed expression on Inuyasha's face. He then angered and smacked her hand away.

"Leave my ears alone!" he shouted. He jumped back into the tree and turned away from the giggling trio.
