this is a remake of the one i had before. i'm making this a little different but of course, on the same subject. so... it'll take just a little bit to get to the juicy parts but it will be worth it. i tell you.
It was a great day in Japan as Kagome Higurashi opened up her window and took a deep breath. It was the first part of autumn, one of Kagome's favorite months, and she looked around at the clear skies above her. It was a rarity to see them and with the clear skies showing above her, it made her want to go back to Feudal Japan where InuYasha was and see what they were doing. She hoped that the weather was the same as it was now but knowing the time travelling part, it was a tossup. Either way, she wanted to go back and see what her friends were up to and maybe go look for more Shikon shards.
Instead of wearing her school uniform, since it was the weekend, she put on a pair of nice shorts and a nice shirt and her tennis shoes. She brushed her hair and pulled it back into a ponytail to get it from her face. She hoped a little that they didn't go looking for the jewel shards immediately when she got there so she could just have some alone time but packed all of her gear for the just in case. She pulled the backpack over her shoulders and descended down the stairs.
"Where are you going, Kagome? To see InuYasha again?" Souta asked as he walked back up the stairs with a bowl of cereal in his hand.
"Yeah I figured I'd take advantage of this weather."
Souta nodded and walked all the way up the stairs.
Mrs. Higurashi was just finishing cleaning the kitchen when she spotted her daughter coming down from the stairs.
"Oh, Kagome, dear, are you going to the well today?"
"Yeah I thought it would be a good idea."
"Well, I just got done packing all of this into Tupperware but if you want it you're welcome to take it all. In fact, it would probably be best." She said with a slight laugh.
Kagome smiled and took the three containers her mother was holding out to her. She took off her backpack and stuck the containers in the bag.
"Thanks, Mom. I'm sure Shippo and InuYasha will be happy to try some of your cooking. There's not curry in this, right?"
"No, I learned my lesson on that." Her mom said with a laugh, remembering the first time InuYasha had eaten curry.
Though the incident was funny, she had to admit that the amount of explicatives that erupted from the hanyou's mouth was not something she wished to hear again.
Kagome smiled, remembering too, and then looked at her watch.
"Oh, I have to go now. I'll see you as soon as I can come back!"
Her mother waved her off and she went to the shrine that held the well that took her back in time. She looked in, seeing the bottom of the well, but she knew that she would never hit the bottom. No matter how many times she jumped in, she just would never get to the bottom.
Nodding, she braced herself as she sat on the edge of the well. She slowly pushed herself off the edge and began to fall. She fell and-
"Oomph!" Kagome yelled, hissing at her ankle most likely bruised from the fall.
She looked up and frowned that she could still see the underside of the roof of the shrine. She growled and climbed up the well, sitting back on the edge. She made a face and looked around for a second and frowning.
"Grandpa, you jerk!" she yelled, ripping a talisman off of the side of the well. "You could have broken my leg!"
After readjusting herself, she closed her eyes and breathed in again. She slipped off the well's edge and began to fall, properly floating in between time and space.
When she arrived at the bottom of the well, she smiled and began to climb up the side of the stonework, gripping in between the stones and going up the side of the wall. As she made her way to the top of the well, grabbing the side, the wood pulled up from the top and she fell back into the well. Screaming, she landed harshly on the bottom of the well. She rubbed her bottom from the brace of the fall and made a face, confused as to what was going on. Why was the top of the well rotten?
"That InuYasha has been neglecting it again. I told him that it's dangerous for me if he doesn't keep the top of this intact…"
She finally got over the well and threw her backpack over the side. As she slung her legs over the side, she noticed that the sky was pretty clear in the Feudal Era as well. The sky may have been clear but when she turned to go toward the village, she gasped, seeing smoke rising in the sky from where the village had been. She picked up her backpack and ran toward it.
Kagome fell to her knees as she looked at the burnt down village. She wondered what could have happened, where was InuYasha? He had promised to protect the village while she was gone. Who could have done such a thing?
"Kagome! Kagome!" she heard a small voice yelling in the distance.
Kagome looked around, trying to find out who was calling her, when she saw something flying into her arms. She caught it and realized immediately that it was Shippo as he cried against her chest.
"Shippo…"
"Kagome, it's terrible!" he wailed.
"Shippo, what happened? Why is the village in ashes? Where is InuYasha?"
"That's just it, Kagome, someone came and captured everyone! InuYasha tried to stop them but they had this- this thing that made him unable to fight! It was really weird, Kagome! Then they took everyone, including InuYasha and even Sesshomaru!"
"Sesshomaru? What was he doing here?"
"He was visiting Rin. They took everyone but InuYasha told me to hide because he knew that you would be back and that someone had to be here."
"Do you know where they took them?"
"No but I know where they were going. There is a huge castle that's on a hill a little ways from here. The man was leading everyone there."
"And you said that even Sesshomaru got captured?"
"Oh yeah! He and InuYasha actually tried to work together to keep the village safe but the man used this weird instrument that made InuYasha fall to his knees like when you yell out 'sit' and it made Sesshomaru go on a rampage. He got so angry and turned into his full yokai form and then all of a sudden he fell over just like InuYasha, turning back into his human form. They were both knocked out and carried away."
"How did you keep away?"
"Like I said, InuYasha told me to hide when the fighting started."
"How long has it been since then? I mean, the smoke is still rising…"
"It's been about three days since then."
"Take me to them, Shippo. I have to help them!"
"Sure thing!"
The fox kit jumped out of her arms and began walking down the path with Kagome following in worry of her friends. Who could have done this?
so off they go to rescue the two. what will they find?
