Chibi-usa woke up with a pounding headache as her vision blurred into focus.
"Oh man, what happened?" She asked aloud as she grabbed her head. She got her bearings to stand and assessed the walls of the well.
"When did these vines get here? Sota? Sota are you there?" It was dark up there and she thought she could see stars.
"I must've really whacked my head hard"
Kagome looked up from her book, sensing a power she had never felt before, she looked over to Inuyasha and noticed his ear was twitching. He lifted his head to sniff the air.
"What is it boy?" Kagome asked playfully with a little giggle.
"Would you quit talking to me like I'm a damn dog!" Inuyasha snapped.
"Ok, Ok I'm sorry. For real though, you sense that power too?"
"Yeah but I smell it as well. . ." He trailed off while he sniffed the air again.
"What does it smell like?"
"Sugar." He replied
"Sugar?" Kagome asked with disbelief.
"Yeah, sugar, and it's coming from the well." He replied as he made his way outside.
Kagome stood up and grabbed her bow and arrows.
"Wait for me Inuyasha!" She yelled.
By the time Kagome got outside he was gone. She grabbed her bike and took after after him in the dark in the direction of the well.
Chibi-usa had begun the task of trying to pull herself out of the well by the vines but any time she made even remotely good progress she would slip or lose grip and fall back down. She had thought about transforming and using her power to help get her out but without knowing who was outside the well she didn't want to risk it.
Inuyasha made his way into the clearing and stopped. He was surprised to see no one there but the power he sensed was stronger than ever.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled from behind him.
He paid her no mind and continued to look around the dark clearing. Maybe the enemy is hiding in the trees. He thought to himself.
"Stay back!" Inuyasha commanded.
"I'll do no such thing!" Kagome yelled back as she approached him
Chibi-usa heard voices outside the well and decided to call out for help.
"Hello?!" She shouted upwards cupping her hands around her mouth. "Is anyone there? I'm stuck down here in the well!"
Inuyasha drew his Tessaiga from its sheath and cautiously approached the well. Kagome followed suite readying her bow and drawing her arrow back.
"Hello? Please help me!" Chibi-usa tried again. "Maybe I just imagined the voices." She said quietly to herself.
Inuyasha sheathed the Tessaiga and peered slowly over the edge of the well. Down in the bottom he saw a head of pink hair. The girl looked human but she had a powerful aura overflowing from her.
"Hey kid you need some help?" Inuyasha shouted down to her as he extended his arm to her.
Chibi-usa lifted her head and looked up to see a man's silhouette looking down on her.
"Yes. Please!" She stood up and began climbing the vines again and reaching out to his hand. She finally reached him and let out a sigh of relief as he pulled her out.
When her feet made contact with the ground she looked up at her rescuer. Her eyes became big as she noticed his ears, the color of his hair and eyes and the clothes he was wearing.
"Ahhhh. Oh my gosh what are you!" She screamed as she retreated to the edge of the well.
Her transformation compact began to glow pink from the crystals power. A blast came out straight at Inuyasha. He jumped into the air narrowly avoiding the blast of energy.
"What the hell was that for?" He yelled.
Chibi-usa stood wide-eyed staring down at her compact. Never before had she seen anything like that happen.
"Kagome, stay back, that girl is dangerous!" Kagome nodded in response.
Chibi-usa picked her head up at Kagome's name and looked over. It couldn't be the same Kagome right? Kagome stared back and they locked eyes.
"Chibi-usa?" Kagome shouted in surprise.
"Kagome?" She shouted back. The light and power in her compact began to recede the more she calmed herself down.
"What are you doing here?" Kagome asked as she dropped her bow and arrow and ran to Chibi-usa.
"What are you doing Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled and he ran in between her and Chibi-usa causing Kagome to stop.
"I know this girl. It's Sota's classmate."
"Are you sure she can be trusted?" Inuyasha asked, skepticism heavy in his voice.
"Ugh, yes Inuyasha. Sit boy!"
Inuyasha hit the ground and Kagome stepped over him making her way to Chibi-usa.
"What happened? How are you here?"
"Huh. What do you mean here?" She asked back.
"Uhh. Oh yeah. Umm, hmm. Why don't you come back with us and I'll explain everything and you can tell me what happened. It looks like you have a few wounds that need tending to anyways." Kagome said.
Chibi-usa looked herself over and noticed she did have some cuts, scratches and bruising on her legs from her repeated attempts to get out of the well.
"Is he coming with us?" She asked pointing wearily at Inuyasha.
"Yes. Really he's pretty harmless once you get to know him." Kagome offered with a smile. "In fact he can carry you back or risk me using the S word again." Kagome said sternly.
Inuyasha sat up from the dirt and kneeled down while grumbling under his breath.
"Kagome we're going to have a talk later about you and that S word." Inuyasha said.
"Are you sure it's safe Kagome?" Chibi-usa asked. "To ride on his back I mean." Pointing at Inuyasha hesitantly.
"Oh yeah, I've done it more times then I can count." Kagome reassured her as she got back on her bike.
"Ok if you say so." Chibi-usa replied. She looked Inuyasha over with a doubtful expression as she cautiously got on his back.
Chibi-usa was startled and let out a small shriek as he stood up and took the first few bounds forward.
"Hang on kid, we'll have you back to the village in no time." He told her as he picked up speed Kagome followed behind as they headed back to the village with Chibi-usa holding on for dear life.
Menacing red eyes pierced the darkness as they watched Inuyasha, and Kagome through the mirror focusing their gaze on the strange girl. "That power, I must have it!"
Hey guys sorry it's been so long since I've uploaded. I'm really picky about this story and had writers block for a while, not so much with how to write but how to help the flow of the story if that makes sense. Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed this update, I'm currently working on the third chapter but no promise of when that'll be up. I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day and please leave feedback. I always look forward to it!
