Sorry for the long wait!
I hope you enjoy it.
But I will be working on chapter three soon, so that should be soon hopefully.
Let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. Only Maya and the plot belong to me.

Maya slowly began to come to. She let out a groan as she pushed herself up from the ground. "Ouch… That hurt." Her body ached from the impact with the ground. Luckily, it hadn't been extremely high. Otherwise, she probably would have gotten hurt a lot worse than just a few aches and pains.

"How long was I out for? What time is it?" She stood up, brushing the dirt from her clothes. A soft gasp left her lips, and she covered her mouth with her hand. "Mom must be so worried about me. I'm going to be in so much trouble. I have to get home."

Her gaze trailed around the inside of the well, looking for a way to climb out. It wasn't very deep, but it wasn't like she could just jump up and get out of there. There was a tree root that was growing down the side of the well. She could use that to get out.

"Hopefully it doesn't give out on me." She muttered, reaching up to take hold of the root. She pulled herself up, climbing up the root until she reached the top of the well. Then she swung her leg over the side, keeping a good grip on the edge with her hands so she could get her other leg out.

"There." She panted softly once both feet were on the ground. She glanced around, expecting to see the inside of the Higurashi family shrine, but instead, the sun was out and she was standing in the middle of a forest.

"What the…? This isn't Tokyo…" A frown tugged at her lips, etching its way onto her face. Her head darted back and forth, trying to see something besides trees and grass, but there was nothing else to be seen.

The sound of leaves rustling reached her ears, and her head snapped in the direction it was coming from. The rustling continued for a few minutes, and then a small, black bunny hopped out of the bushes.

"Just a bunny…" She let out a relieved sigh, grateful that it was a bunny and not something more dangerous.

The bunny hopped away from the bushes, turning and disappearing into another bush. A couple minutes later, more rustling was heard. Must have been the bunny again.

"Here, bunny, bunny." She called out with a smile.

The rustling of leaves stopped as what appeared to be a large, green lizard came out from the bushes. That was certainly not a bunny. It's tongue slithered in and out of its mouth. A grin came to its face, revealing long and sharp teeth.

"Oh, look, dinner!" The lizard let out a shrieking laugh, stepping closer to her. "I'll enjoy pulling the flesh from your body."

Her eyes widened at the sight. Terror began to course through her entire body, and she felt herself starting to tremble. "W-What?" She stammered, taking a step back.

"Good. Yes. Get scared. I love the smell of fear on my dinner." It chuckled, though the voice sounded male, staring at her with its beady black eyes, licking its lips. "This'll be easy. A weakling human girl like you." It pointed a hand at her. The long, claws it had glinted in the sun.

Maya gasped and turned around, taking off as fast as her legs would take her. That lizard thing, whatever it was, wanted to eat her!

The sound of booming footsteps were heard behind her. No doubt it was that lizard that wanted to get a piece of her.

"What's going on?" She whispered to herself as she panted, her chest heaving heavily. Tears of fear poured down her cheeks. Her legs were starting to feel heavy, but she couldn't stop. There was no way she could stop with that thing chasing her and wanting to make her his next meal.

Her foot got caught on a tree branch, causing her to tumble to the ground face first. She grunted and pushed herself up, glancing over her shoulder. She hadn't lost him. He was still after her, though he was getting a lot closer now since she'd tripped.

"Damn it." She muttered, standing to her feet. She started running again, wincing as pain shot through her knee. Her knee must have gotten scraped when she tripped, but she'd have to deal with that later. Right now, she had to focus on not becoming tonight's entrée.

"Come on! It'll be fun!" The creature called out, laughing insanely. "I can make you into a nice stew!"

A shudder went up and down her spine. She didn't want to be made into a stew.

"Not a fan of stew? Well, I can compromise! I like my food prepared other ways! How about I fillet you?!" It cackled, reaching out and slashing at her back with those sharp claws.

She gasped in pain as the claws tore through her shirt and skin easily. Pain immediately spread throughout her body and she found herself stumbling, nearly falling to the ground. Blood gushed down her back, leaving a trail on the ground. It hurt so bad that she felt like collapsing, but she couldn't, so she forced herself to keep running. If she let herself collapse, then all hope would be gone and she really would end up being dinner.

"Maybe you're a little tougher than I thought. This really is going to be fun!" The lizard exclaimed, grinning wildly.

Maya kept running as fast as she could, but she was beginning to feel light headed due to blood loss. She didn't know how much longer she could last before passing out.

"I don't think it's still following me…" She panted, looking over her shoulder. Sure enough, she didn't see it chasing after her anymore. "Thank goodness." She slumped against a tree trunk, wincing as the open gashes on her back stung from the contact. She turned so she was facing the tree trunk, slightly easing the pain. "I… I need to get some help…"

"You won't be alive along enough for help." A voice chuckled into her ear from behind her.

She gasped, recognizing the voice as the lizard's voice.

The lizard grabbed her shoulder and flipped her around so they were face to face. "You'll make a fine dinner indeed…" It smirked, licking its lips.

She cringed, trying to press herself further into the tree trunk, no matter how much it hurt to do so. Tears welled up in her eyes. She just wanted to be back at where she was safe from whatever this creature was. What she wouldn't give to be in her room with her mother right down stairs.

I'm going to die. I'm really going to die.

She closed her eyes, tears dribbling down her face and her shoulders shaking. She felt herself getting very dizzy, and since she was about to be eaten by this thing anyway, she could probably pass out. As least if she was unconscious, maybe it wouldn't hurt as bad.

"Time to eat!" She heard the lizard cackle.

"Oh, no you don't!" The sound of a young girl's voice, and the lizard hissing in pain, caught her ears as she drifted away into unconsciousness.

I'm sorry this chapter is a bit shorter than the last one.
I cut it off here, because other wise, I wouldn't have the start for chapter three.
Review and let me know what you think.
Getting feedback helps me update faster. :)
