A Way Back

"So how do you know Kagome again?" Ayumi asked

"I first met her when her and Inuyasha stole something that belonged to me"

"Stole!" they all shouted at once

"We didn't steal anything!" I said with a glare

"I always knew that Inuyasha was no good" Eri said

At that moment the door burst open with a fuming Inuyasha standing there.

"Speak of the demon" Sesshomaru smirked

I shot Sesshomaru a warning look but like I expected her just ignored it.

"Inuyasha what are you doing here" I asked

"I just go back from talking to the others" he grumbled "they don't have any ideas"

"Come Inuyasha, join us" Sesshomaru said with a smirked "I was just telling everyone the first time I met Kagome, you remember don't you when you stole what belongs to me"

Inuyasha only growled in response so I thought it would be a good idea to change the subject, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi and I talked about school and upcoming test for a bit while Sesshomaru and Inuyasha glared at each other from across my room. I'm not quite sure how it happened but somehow we got back to the subject of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, one minute we were talking about elementary school and then Eri asked Sesshomaru and Inuyasha how they knew each other. Neither one seemed to want to answer the question so I decided to step in and do it for them.

"Their brothers" I said calmly

"Half-brothers" the both snapped

"Your brothers?" my friends asked amazed

"Half-brothers" the corrected once again

"They have the same dad but different mums" I explained to them

"I thought they looked a little alike"

"Now that you mention it there are similarities between the two"

"I'm guessing Sesshomaru is the older brother"

"Yes I am"

The next few hours where spent talking about Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and their childhood, Inuyasha told them how he never really knew his dad because he died saving him and his mother and how when he was a child his mother died where Sesshomaru told them that their father died because he was foolish and his mother was still around but he doesn't talk to her. After talking for a while longer they finally decided that it was time to go, I was grateful that it was all over and sighed a happy sigh once they left.

"What?" I asked the two glaring at me

"Did you have to tell them that I am related to him" Inuyasha growled

"Yes and about all these 'brotherly moments'" Sesshomaru grumbled

"The one time they work together and it's to gang up on me!"

"I could have told them worse things"

"Like what?" Inuyasha asked

"Well like the time you said you would protect me or the child that you keep with you" I smirked looking between the two

I walked pass them with a satisfied grin and went to sit on the lounge chair.

"Rin does seem very fond of you" Inuyasha chuckled

"Wait how do you know her name?" I asked confused

"Sango and the others told me"

What? When? Why didn't I know?"

"Relax it was only this morning"

"But how did they know then?"

"Because her, the imp and that two headed thing are there" Inuyasha explained "well the imp was there"

"Was?" Sesshomaru asked

"He was getting on my nerves so I tossed him away"

"I see, and where is Rin?"

"She was playing with Shippo when I left"

"Shippo? Who is this Shippo?" Sesshomaru demanded

"He's the fox demon, don't worry she will be fine with him"

"I can't believe how worried he looks"

"Anything else you 'forgot' to tell us?" I asked

"No... Oh there was one other thing; Kaede said that you were right about the well and the barrier and demons and things"

"What?" Sesshomaru and I asked at once

"She said that there is probably some kind of barrier stopping demons to pass through and it doesn't bother me because I'm half human or something like that"

"THAT'S IT!" I shouted jumping to my feet

"Kagome where are you going?" Sesshomaru asked

"Go get changed, I have an idea, Inuyasha come with me"

"Kagome what's going on?"

"The well doesn't allow demons through right"

"Yeah"

"It also doesn't allow humans through either"

"But you're human"

"No I'm not"

"What?"

"I'm a priestess with the power of purification; we have been worrying about how to get Sesshomaru back when we should have been worrying about how he got here in the first place"

"But we know that already, he followed you"

"But why is he human? If he just followed me through then he should still be a demon, something happened while he passed through"

"What happened?"

"I don't know..."

"What have I missed?" Sesshomaru asked walking into the well room

"Sesshomaru what exactly happened the day you pass through the well"

"I have already told you once"

"I know but I mean further back, when you first dropped me"


Sesshomaru's POV

"Ill teach her to bite my hand"

I looked down at the girl falling head first into the well, I thought about letting her fall to her death but then something strange happened. I felt the presence of a pure that made my body betray me with a shiver; I looked down at the source of this power and saw the human girl falling to what looked like the night sky. I didn't know what was happening but my instincts were telling me it wasn't good, I quickly reached down and grabbed the girl's ankle when a bright light surrounded her. I could feel my grip fading on the girl and when I tried to find her once more all I could see was a bright light. As I tried to go further into the well I felt the presence of a barrier trying to stop me.

"You think you can get away that easily"

I used my strength to push through the barrier and made it to the other side and instead of seeing the bottom of the well I saw what reminded me of the Medo Zangetsuha. As I floated in mid air I saw the human in front of me, I pressed on following her knowing that she would surly lead the way out of this place. Once I was close enough to touch her there was another bright light surrounding her and another barrier in my way, I pressed through this barrier and found myself lying on the bottom of the well.


"Medo Zangetsuha? What's that?"

"It's the portal to the underworld" Sesshomaru explained "and one of Tetsusiga's powers"

"Inuyasha, can you create one?"

"Of course I can!"

"If you are thinking of using that to open the portal in the well it wont work"

"I'm not going to use it to open the portal, only Inuyasha and I can do that"

"Then what are you planning"

"I'm hoping that it will keep the portal open for you to pass through"

"That doesn't solve the problems of the barriers"

"I never thought I would speak these words but Inuyasha is right"

"You're human now so the barriers shouldn't worry you"

"But you said the well doesn't allow human through remember"

"Humans can't get through because they don't have the power to open the well where demons can't get through because the barriers stop them so if we can get the portal open Sesshomaru being human should have no problems passing through the barriers"

"That sounds good and all but will I return to my full power upon reaching the other side?"

"You should... your power isn't gone it's just sealed away, I felt it when I held your sword so if we can unlock it you should return to being a demon again"

"Well then let's get on with it" Inuyasha grumbled impatiently
