On A Plain:
A sharp pain throbbed through Reapers entire form as a bright light burned into his eyes as he lay at the bottom of the well. Reaper aimed his Beretta upwards to tag the soldiers as they finished him off. But, nobody seemed to be there. He listened more closely and all he could hear was a cool autumn breeze overhead. He managed to sit up, despite the sharp pain in his leg throbbing, making him wince. He pulled some bandages, that he had put in back pocket, out and began wrapping his leg.
After about an hour, his leg had stopped bleeding, and he felt good enough to climb out of the smelly well. As he neared the top, he realized that the whole well house had gone. Did the soldiers remove it… he thought. As he climbed out of the well entirely, he realized that the whole city was gone. He was in the middle of a forest, with nothing around, but trees. "Wow… I must be dead…" Reaper thought aloud.
"Who's there?" came a loud voice through the trees.
Reaper drew his Beretta again and aimed it at the trees. He stood aiming at the trees for what seemed like an eternity.
"Hey! You're not Kagome! What did you do to her, you bastard!" yelled the voice as a red form seemed to fly out of the tree to the left of Reaper. "Holy Shit!" screamed Reaper as he dove out of the way of the form. A giant sword smashed into the ground where he had just been standing. After the figure had landed, Reaper looked at the man, who turned out to be a very strange young kid. But this kid had long gray hair and… dog ears… "Oh, it's just a kid," sighed Reaper.
"What did you say, you son of a bitch!" yelled the kid at Reaper as Reaper aimed at his knee with his Beretta.
"InuYasha! What have you done now?" came a sweet, female voice from the well.
A young Japanese schoolgirl appeared in full school uniform at the top of the well.
"This guy came out of the well about five minutes ago without you. So I feared the worst."
The kid apparently called InuYasha received a sharp slap to the side of the face.
"Why'd you slap him, he was just trying to see if you were safe…" said Reaper with a questioning look on his face.
"Hey! Who gave you permission to speak!" yelled InuYasha, pointing his massive sword at Reaper's face.
"Not some punk kid!" retorted Reaper.
InuYasha began growling and swung his sword over his head for a killing blow.
"InuYasha, Sit…" said the girl known as Kagome. Reaper could hear a hint of boredom and regret in her voice. The gray haired boy fell face first onto the ground, as if something smacked him down. Reaper couldn't help but laugh at the sight of this strong kid being obedient to this sweet schoolgirl.
"Who said you could laugh, punk!" yelled the kid as he struggled to stand back up.
"Personally, I don't believe you should be yielding to a small schoolgirl. The sight is just too funny to not laugh at." chuckled Reaper. Kagome began to laugh, too. "Hey!" droned InuYasha. Reaper tried to stand up; forgetting his ankle still had a 12mm round in it. Reaper moaned in pain as the wound reopened and blood began flowing down his leg like a river. He blacked out from the sudden immense pain.
The next thing Reaper knew, he was laying next to a fire with the two people and their apparent friends sitting down, chatting about demons or something. Reaper wasn't conscious enough yet to make out the words. He rolled over onto his side to look at the flames of the fire. As he rolled, he realized the pain in his ankle had decreased to a dull ache.
"Oh, so you have awakened," said a new voice Reaper had never heard before. This one belonging to a man.
Reaper tried to thank the people around the fire, but all he could manage was a moan of exhaustion. It took a minute, but Reaper realized he was only wearing his boxers underneath the blanket. He blushed as he realized that he must have had his wounds fully treated. And they checked his whole body for any more hidden wounds that he might have had. "Here, have some of this stew. It will make you feel better faster," came a kind female voice that Reaper had never heard before. He sat up, and leaned against a nearby tree. Then he saw the most beautiful face in his life, it belonged to the woman holding the bowl of stew, and spoon, ready to feed him. Reaper blushed as she began feeding the delicious stew to him. But it wouldn't have mattered if the stew tasted disgusting, he would have accepted anything she thought was better for him.
After a few spoonfuls, Reaper managed to say "Thank you for the stew, it was delicious. And thank you for feeding it to me, I have no Idea why I'm so drained; usually I'm full of energy."
"Oh," said Kagome, "That's partially my fault." She blushed. "You see, I pulled the bullet out of your leg, which required a heavy sedative. So… because I didn't have any with me, I overdosed you with night time flu medication," she chuckled. "Actually, I'm not sure how you woke up so soon, the dose I used could have put out InuYasha for three days."
"I happen to be immune to most over the counter meds; it was part of my military treatment. The meds you used must have been very strong. But, you really removed the bullet; I can't feel it there anymore. But, I would have never guessed that you would have the stomach for removing it out of my bones."
"You're right! I actually fainted, and InuYasha had to take it out…" she said blushing.
"Hmpf!" growled InuYasha, embarrassed because he actually did something good for one of his enemies. He looked away from the group as Reaper thanked him. The group talked for what felt like a small time, compared to the four hours that passed.
As the group was headed off to bed, Reaper stood and found his pants and under-shirt. He placed them on before he began to hobble to his sleeping bag that they had set up for him. When Sango approached him, her cheeks were as pink as a rose, as she came to speak with their newest companion.
"Hey! We never got your name, stranger," said the girl Reaper had learned to be called Sango; aka his crush. "Oh, most people call me Reaper, because of what I'm most known for… I don't like to kill, but I'm best at it in my time…"
"So, you're an assassin, then," said Sango, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"No, I'm an ex-hitman…" said Reaper, deciding to come clean, to gain her trust by being straight with her.
"At such a young age! You must be an admirable adversary, then."
"Hey, I'm not that young! I graduated military school at the top of my class, at the age of 18. Currently I'm 21. Barely legal…"
"Were you sent to kill any of us?" asked Sango, looking at the ground now, blushing.
"No, I was testing a science experiment, and it succeeded, but the government wanted to steal it, so one of my friends sacrificed his lifelong research to get me here. It's always been a dream of mine to see the world as it was, before World War III."
"Why were you chosen over anybody else who shared that dream?" asked Sango with curiosity coating her words.
"I'm the only one who had the power and friends to do so. And as soon as my friend finished for me, the government came and chased me through the portal. Thank God their aim is crap. Otherwise I would be dead."
Reaper recounted how he got into his position. And how the bullet ended up inside of leg. As soon as Reaper finished his tale, Sango embraced him in a hug and said "You poor guy, I can't believe you made into the well in time. Oh, yeah. If you haven't noticed already, InuYasha can be an asshole at times."
"Yeah, so I noticed."
There was an awkward silence between the two love birds.
"Umm… I think we should head off to bed. I don't want everyone else to think we were up to something…" a dirty grin appeared on Sago's delicate features.
"Alright, then I guess we should head back," said Reaper with a touch of sadness in his voice. He really liked talking to her and she made him feel warmer inside when they were close. She put his arm over his shoulder, and helped him to her sleeping bag.
"Here, use my sleeping bag tonight, you're injured," said Sango, feeling remorse for the injured Reaper.
"I'm fine. Besides what kind of man lets a lady sleep on the floor, while he takes the bed. You take it, I'll be fine. I've been through way worse." encouraged Reaper. And so the slept.
