I'm redoing some chapter in this story because I'm not too fond of them. I've been putting this off for quite a while now, but I've finally decided to do it before I continue the story, so here you go.
ch. 2
"Kagome's here!" exclaimed Inuyasha as he ran out the door.
"It's about time, I don't think I could have taken anymore of Inuyasha's fidgeting and impatience," Kaede said with relief.
"Tell me about it, he just can't stand still for even a minute when we could be out hunting for the jewel shards," noted Miroku with a hint of exasperation before following the rest of the group out.
When the group reached the well they found it empty. They glared at Inuyasha in annoyance.
"What's the deal Inuyasha? I thought you said Kagome was here," asked an annoyed Sango.
"Look, all I know is that somebody came through that well, I could smell the human scent!" Inuyasha paused and sniffed the air carefully. "Wait, that's not Kagome's scent. Somebody else came through this well."
Shippo looked up at Inuyasha, confused. "But nobody else can go through the well except you and Kagome, who else could it be?"
"I don't know, but whoever they are, they're still nearby."
Just then a shuffle of grass was heard from the other side of the well.
"Stop hiding and show yourself," Inuyasha ordered the well.
Nothing happened.
"If you won't show yourself then it looks like I'm going to have to force you out," he warned, unsheathing his sword.
There was a another shuffle of grass and a figure jumped up suddenly. It was just a girl from Kagome's era, and it looked like she was scared out of her wits. The girl spotted the huge sword that the dumbstruck Inuyasha held before him. Her eyes widened with fear and she dashed into the woods like a scared kitten.
They was a brief moment of the silence that usually follows such shock. But brief is just what it was.
"Way to go Inuyasha," commented Miroku sarcastically.
"Me?! What did I do? She was the one who ran!"
"Well, you pointed your huge sword at a poor girl who has probably never seen a weapon bigger than a knife before. You expect her to stand there and introduce herself? Any sensible person would have run away. I would have run away."
"Well what do you want me to do about it?!" Inuyasha asked, fuming.
"Isn't it obvious? We need to go after her! A girl from Kagome's time is running around in our time full of demons and bandits. Need I say more?"
Inuyasha grumbled a no, but got serious. Miroku was right. They needed to find her.
I am ran. I am ran as fast as my feet could carry me. Although that might not really be that fast at all. Still, considering that I don't see the weird people from back at the well behind me I couldn't be that slow.
The trees started to blur around me. I kept running, not wanting to stop until I felt safe from the people with the large sword that looked like it came out of a video game.
What the heck was going on? I fall through a well and next thing I new I was in another world. Was I still in Japan? Was I still on Earth?! I don't recall people on Earth threatening other with giant swords.
My feet slowed down below me and the trees could be clearly defined as trees once more. I stopped. I had no idea why I just stopped, but I did. I breathed heavily and heard footsteps. Multiple footsteps.
"Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here?"
I looked up to see a group of men. Hunters it looked like. Why would Tokyo have hunters? Haven't they ever heard of a supermarket? Or were these the other worldly aliens? Did they not have supermarkets?
"Answer us!"
I counted the men. There were six of them. They all had either spears or arrows. How far could arrows shoot? If you shot them in an empty field would they eventually fall to the ground or would they fly on forever until they hit something?
An arrow stabbed the tree, inches from my face. Everything blanked out and I stared at the arrow. I heard the bow pulling back for another shot. My arms covered my head and I waited for the pain.
It didn't come. I saw only darkness, then realized my eyes are closed. I opened them and saw one of those weird people from earlier standing in front of me. He was dressed in a red kimono. Tone who had pointed his sword at me.
I turned and ran, but a firm hand grabbed my wrist.
"Idiot, stop running."
I didn't know why, probably because his grip is so strong it could rip my arm off if it wanted to, but I stood still. The boy in red scolded the hunters. Apparently they knew him. Something about a village and Kaede. Finally the hunters went on to continue hunting, only to be replaced by the others from the well. There was a small kid with a fox tail, a lady with a giant boomerang on her back, and a man in black and purple robes holding a staff. The girl spoke first.
"Hey, you can come out you know, we're not going to hurt you," she promised kindly as if speaking to a scared little kitten.
I didn't move from my newfound spot behind the tree as I eyed the red guy's sword sheath. She noticed this.
"Look, what happened earlier was a misunderstanding. Inuyasha's an idiot, but he won't hurt you. None of us will."
So his name was Inuyasha. Weird name. Were the others' names that weird too?
"Could you tell us your name?"
Why was his hair white? He had ears too. Dog ears. Right on top of his head. I reached up and gently felt the top of my head.
"Could you tell us how you got here?"
What was the use of a giant boomerang? Wasn't it heavy or exhausting carrying that thing around all the time?
"Hey girl! Speak already will ya? You're starting to bug me," Inuyasha demanded angrily.
"Inuyasha, be nice. She's probably still in shock from falling through a well into a totally different era."
So I was in another era? In the past? How far back? How did a well do this? Could I go back? Did I want to go back?
"Come with us. We'll take you back to the village and try to explain all this," says the robed man kindly.
My feet were rooted to the spot. The others started walking and I stayed hidden behind my tree. I was still to wary of these people. Another era? Was that really possible? What if they were just making this all up?
"Oh for pete's sake!" Inuyasha came over and grabbed me. He put me on his back piggyback style and started running so I couldn't get off, which I was too terrified to attempt now anyway. The others ran and caught up. The lady was on a cream colored fox with two tails whose feet were on fire.
"Was that really necessary Inuyasha?"
"Yes, it was. I swear this girl wasn't going to move if I didn't do something!"
This is awkward, I thought, but then again, so is this whole situation.
I must have run pretty far after all, because we didn't get back to the grassy field right away. On the way the people kept asking me questions, but they eventually grew silent as I watched the leaves blur into the sky above me.
This girl was weird, and she was really starting bug Inuyasha. The whole way back to the village she hadn't spoken a single word, even with all the questions Sango and Miroku had been asking her. She had totally ignored them! Now they were back at the village and she was still silent. Inuyasha was pretty sure this girl could talk, so why didn't she? Sango and Miroku kept saying how she was in shock. Even Kaede gave that excuse when she met her. But Inuyasha refused to believe this. Kagome hadn't stopped talking when she fell through the well. She couldn't shut up.
Inuyasha looked over at the girl. She was sitting in the farthest corner, as far from everyone as she could get in the small hut. She seemed to be silently observing everyone as they talked about the situation. Every few minutes they would turn to her and ask her a question. She would look at them for a few seconds, before going back to staring off into space or at the floor.
"Do you remember how exactly you fell into the well?" asked Sango.
The girl looked up again. She opened her mouth ever so slightly, but quickly closed it. She shook her head slightly and turned away. She's lying, he thought, how could she forget?
Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. He marched up to her, looming over her sitting form.
"Will you say something already?! There's no way just going through that well would make somebody stop talking! Sango asked you a question, so answer it!"
There were some scolding 'Inuyashas!' from the group behind him, but he didn't care. This girl was really bugging him!!
Looking down at her Inuyasha saw her look at him as if he was about to hit her. Her yellow eyes were wide with fear and she was desperately clutching her backpack. Inuyasha instantly felt bad for scaring her and put his hand up to say he wasn't going to hurt her, but she recoiled instantly. For some reason the very idea that she could think that he would hit her angered him.
"Idiot! I'm not going to hurt you you know!"
Of course, this didn't help the situation, and only ended in scaring her more. The hair on her head almost look as if it was rising. Miroku came over and put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Come on Inuyasha, you're just making it worse. Let's just leave her alone. She's had a long day and needs some sleep. We'll try to talk to her again in the morning."
Inuyasha was about to protest, but Miroku gave him a stern look and instead he just let out a frustrated sigh before walking off.
Hope you like the redo better, I just changed it a bit, not that much.
