A Different Role
Chapter Three: One Rooted Well, Two Moving Worlds
Inuyasha quickly looked upwards. A small – and old – man stood there, holding a lamp. He let go of Kagome, and jumped out of there.
The man looked at him coolly for a moment, and then shut his eyes. He searched in his priest's clothes for something, and took out prayer beads, murmured some words, and threw it on Inuyasha.
Inuyasha evaded it.
The process happened again.
Again, Inuyasha evaded it.
***
Kagome sighed again, depressed. What did I do in my life to climb up twice, when there are people who can help me?
She climbed up again, listening to the weird noises which came from upwards. What is Jii-chan doing? She wondered.
***
"Demon be gone!" The man sang.
***
Kagome almost fell back down, an inch from the end of her climb. Demon... be gone?!
She got out of the well, and almost slipped from a wandering bead. "Jii-chan!" She shouted. "Stop it!"
"Why?" The old man asked.
Kagome sighed.
Inuyasha jumped back at her, and grabbed again her shirt-collar. "Tell me where I am, and where is this place!!!"
Her hand went to his, and she tried to remove it, but Inuyasha's hand had other intentions...
"Tell me!"
Jii-chan snorted arrogantly. "Why, this demon is—"
"Shut up, Jiji," he snarled at him. "I didn't ask you anything."
***
This jiji was tiring. Not his body, but his brain. In a different way. This jiji had the brain of a pickle. But... let's say it was a big pickle.
And this man was trying to get his intention away from getting answers, or even asking them.
"You're in my home," the girl said so softly so he was the only one who heard.
He loosened his grip a bit, and her body relaxed, if not fully, than enough to make her answer. "And where is this home of yours?" He growled.
"I—" she looked dumbfounded. "I don't know where we were there..."
"You don't?" He asked.
She nodded. "I don't."
"If that so..." he growled with frustration, "I'll stay here... in the meantime."
"You can't stay here!" The jiji cried.
Inuyasha smirked. "Watch me."
"Ah, and... while you stay here-" Kagome opened her hand so he could see what was on her palm. The Shikon no Tama. "-this is staying with me." She smiled.
"Give it to me!!!" He yelled.
She just continued to smile, and closed her fingers around it.
"Damn you! Give it back! It's mine!" He yelled, hiding the pain in his voice. I bought it with blood, the thought sickened him. I bought it with Kikyo's blood...
"When you leave," she said sincerely, "I'll give it to you. I promise."
He growled.
"And now!" She said cheerfully. "We have to get you ready to school!"
School?! "I don't need freaking school!" He yelled frantically. I never was at school...
***
Kagome smiled at him. He seemed to be troubled. She was right. He was a good demon.

From now on I'll add some humor- I can't write an Inuyasha fanfiction without humor. :]
