Chapter 4: All's Well

Kagome shouldered her pack and waved goodbye, announcing, "I'll be back in three days!"

"Yeah, yeah," Inuyasha grumbled. "Say 'hi' to your kid brother for me."

"I will!" she promised, then ran lightly up the long flight of stairs that led towards the Bone Eater's Well. Partway across the meadow, she slowed to a stop. The forest was eerily quiet. For a moment, she considered turning back, but with a quick glance at the surrounding woods, she made a dash for safety. Bolting towards the well, she easily vaulted over the rim, dropping into... a lap.

"Oof! S-s-sesshoumaru-sama?" she gasped.
