From the Bottom of the Well (Chapter Three)

Something seemed to be peculiar and odd shaped about it. A type of color that I haven't seen before, sort of pearl colored but once the sun would hit it the colors of the rainbow would shine on it. Just at a blink of an eye I had the scent of Kagome's hair faintly upon my face and then I knew Kagome was giving me a sign. I swiftly jump inside the well and put my hand on the embedded object. I feel it sharp but soft at the same time, I dig around it and find it was a locked box. The box is beautifully carved with floral patterns leading to the center.

I try to shake it slightly to feel what is inside and felt only a tiny hit to the side of the box. Insinuating that there is something inside of the box. The thing that bothers me the most is that the lock that locked it has no key hole.

"Know what? Jeez, Kagome do you expect me open it with my magical mind powers!"

I can't help but be bothered by this, I want this suffering to be over with and yet Kagome makes it harder for me.

At least this was something compared with before. I look at the box one more time to find at least something more but I find nothing. I decide to go to Lady Kaede to find out at least a decent clue to open the box. I walk steadily toward the shack careful not to trip again from the mud that kept accumulating from the rainfall that seemed to never end. I think it might just be me but I feel something odd-

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

The shriek pierced my ears into a shock inducing fall to the floor. I waste no time getting back up to run where the yell produced which worries me even more. The scream came from the shack where Lady Kaede was waiting for my return. I couldn't bear another person in my life being hurt so with no thought to it I run faster. I finally reach the shack to find myself with another stinking demon trying to rip the shack open like a kid would do with his present on Christmas. He has a look of a demon that has been walking around in the woods his entire life, with branches and leaves lodged in every part of his body. His eyes are pitch black and lifeless. He is just tearing the place up witch makes me even angrier.

"Crud! Can't you see I am not in a good mood! You mess with any of these people watch me tear you up like confetti!"

The demon just turns around slowly and opened his eyes wider as though in shock, showing the whites of his eyes I didn't know he had. He snarls at as though telling me to back off and goes back to look for something to terrorize but found nothing. Wait, there's no one here! If there was no one here where did the scream come from?

As I finish that thought the demon quickly makes his move and raises his fists and smacks it towards the ground. Luckily, I jump out of the way and grasp my Tetsusaiga and swipe it out of its case. I place the box carefully on the ground so it won't fracture or break. I narrow my eyes and visualize the perfect time to strike and where. Visualize my attack and its effects just as Lady Kaede taught me. Use my mind as well as my soul in every strike. And…NOW! I run towards him and he raises his hand to do another strike, which I figured he would do. Before he has the chance to hit me I slid under his blow and strike right at his abdomen which causes him to grunt and trip on his own feet.

"What, give up! I haven't even started yet!"

To my surprise, he stood up unharmed and he looks like he has another trick up his sleeve. He pointed his palm towards me and some shiny black ooze squirts from his hand. I try to jump out of its way but it seemed to grab me feet and stick me to the floor. I can't budge, I'm trying to cut through it with Tetsusaiga but it won't work, the Tetsusaiga would just bounce off. Then I feel the blob slowly climbing up my legs and engulfing me as time passes by. It has gotten a hold of my arms and hands as well leaving me like a sitting duck at the mercy of this demon. Oh no, this wasn't good, not at all! To make matters worse the demon is slowly approaching and I could tell by the look in his eye that he has an attack in mind. He got close, his hand suddenly shape shifted into a sharp point and brought it back.

"Crap!"

I know he is going to strike so I closed my eyes and braced for the worst.

"I'm sorry Kagome I can't be able to see you alive again."

….What's happening? Why hasn't he striked yet?

I open my eyes to see that the demon is frozen in its track, unable to move his hand. I look closely at him and then I notice the triangular kagome sign that appeared often when Kagome would fight demons. This appeared after she defeated Naraku using the most powerful priestess at the time and after Kikyou died.

My vision is blurred, all I see is oblong shapes moving as the world tumbles to a halt. I feel the ground come to me, even though I know it's the other way around. I close my eyes on the confusion of the world around me and hope it is a dream, even if I know that this is my life.
