From the Bottom of the Well (Chapter Six)

I take step backwards from the tree and get a start on my running back to the place where I really am supposed to be, beside Kagome. I can't hide from my problems any longer, that isn't what Kagome would have wanted me to do. I want to be there for her even if I can't help her in my current situation. The main problem is that I don't know how to start to get her out of that box. It isn't as easy as saying, "Open Sesame" and it magically opens. I don't care what it takes anymore; I am at the point where I would give up my own life just to open that box. The life of Kagome is the string attaching me to hope so I wish that the string will hold on a bit longer until I find a way free it from its burden. Kagome wait for me I am coming to set you free…

Kagome's P.O.V

It's so dark in here, only a slim window to the outside. A one way television to what is going on around me and I can't even contact anyone but some spirits. Most of them didn't bother wanting to help my situation and I don't blame them. Who would get involved with someone they barely met and get tangled up in a web of emotions and confusion. I was able to meet Graf by chance after another spirit denied my request for help. I was blessed to have such a good hearted spirit willing to help me but then I decided that I was being a nuisance. Asking for help from other spirits instead of taking the situation with my own hands was something I couldn't bother other spirits with, so I denied his offer of aiding me. I didn't want to trouble him my troubles, he might have had troubles of his own.

I was at despair with nothing filling my mind but the image of Inuyasha and how much I wished to see him. Wanting to see him smile, cry, laugh anything that would make me feel human again. The rain was hard, and some of the soil on top of my residence had slided off so I could see the beautiful droplets of rain fall on the corners if the box. I feel as though I could smell it through all the layer of box that doesn't let me get a taste of the sweet smelling rain. At least my mind is at ease from the feeling that I could at least be somewhat like a human again.

BAM!

That noise that echoed from the walls of the well as it traveled from the top to the bottom. Something had hit the side of the well and left me in curiosity to notice that it was Inuyasha. I didn't know what to feel at that moment either relief, longing, happiness and the one I felt the most, alive. I cried as I saw those beautiful honey -colored eyes stare at me and lean closer. I felt that the world has been released from my knees and shoulders but to then realize that this has just begun. There are more obstacles that Inuyasha must face on his own. All I could do is watch or bring some type of aid to him. He picked me up and shook me like I was some type of Christmas present and he wanted to know what was inside. I saw a look of annoyance from his face, something I am familiar with.

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

He must have noticed the missing key hole from the lock. I didn't blame him for being frustrated but I didn't need the attitude. Even if it was with attitude, I did miss hearing his voice. It really hasn't changed a bit from the last time we spoke. That voice soothed me from the deep depression I couldn't seem to come out of. I'd rather have him yell at me than an eternity with silence. Then I felt it, a weird vibe from the shack as though it was being torn apart. I took a quick peek from the box to take view from the skies and there I saw Graf destroying the shack. What was he doing?! This isn't what I wanted to happen! I didn't know what to do, I can't do anything if I am not close enough to the shack. I need to get closer to the shack but how would I have done that? The only thing that came to mind is, yell.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Inuyasha successfully heard it and was able to get close enough to the shack. I was so happy Inuyasha was able to hear me. It hurt since I hasn't spoken in so long, why would I speak if my only way of communicating is through thought. My voice was a bit hoarse so I couldn't speak anymore or I surely couldn't be able to talk anymore. I was exhausted from using too much energy and for some reason the box closed off from the outside world. I couldn't see anything and it was frustrating. I felt useless just like I have before Inuyasha found me, hopeless. Nothing but the sound of my own voice and IT. IT had always been there ever since I ended up locked up in the box. IT had explained to me the current situation and the future of my life. The future seemed more dark than it had when the Shikon Jewel was still around and that scared me. If they barely escaped with their lives when the Shikon Jewel was around, imagine something worse.

I finally got able to see what was going only to see Inuyasha battling with Graf. That idiot doesn't even know who he is battling. I was really annoyed at that point until I saw Graf go into full attack mode and I had to stop it. Before he had the chance to strike at Inuyasha I was able to get close enough to stop the attack with the spiritual powers I still had. At that point I knew I had to get Graf's attention and put a force field around Inuyasha to make sure of his safety. He opened his eyes but I didn't want him to see it was me, I had to put him aside so that I could talk with Graf alone. I placed my hand on Inuyasha and put him to rest for some time so that I could speak freely. I have now decided to get his help. If I want Inuyasha to help me I need him to understand the situation.

"Graf, let's talk…"
