Ch. 3 The Breaking of the Well

Kagome crawled out of the well, "now where did I put that bag?" she asked herself as she wandered into her house.

"Ah ha! Found it" she then packed some ramen and replenished her first aid supplies.

"Mom I'm going now be back in about a week" she called out as she left the house, 'I know I'm forgetting something, now what could it be?' she pondered as she made her way towards the well house.

"Oh well it can't be that important" she shrugged it off, bad idea.

In a few seconds she was in the feudal era, she began that climb up the side of the well where she was met with pair of golden amber eyes.

"Hello Inuyasha" she smiled as he picked her and placed her on the ground out side of the well, but he did not let go.

"Don't "hello Inuyasha" me, what took you so long?" he looked angry.

"Huh?" Kagome gave him a confused look.

"It took you nearly an hour" Inuyasha still hadn't let go of her.

"I uh had to replenish supplies and uh, get more ramen" she added, 'that ought to satisfy him.'

"Hmm" Inuyasha gave her a skeptical look, he moved his face closer as if he could tell whether or not she was lying by the look on her face.

Kagome blushed at the distance between them, 'hee hee um I think he's getting a bit too close' she blushed even redder when he sniffed her.

'She's telling the truth' Inuyasha finally decided after a while, that he realized he was still holding her, he let go abruptly, blushing, 'though it did feel kind of nice' he smiled inwardly.

Inuyasha started to walk towards Keade's hut when he noticed Kagome was behind him, he turned around, "What's taking you so long this time?" Inuyasha asked very annoyed.

Kagome was tugging on a strap of the enormous yellow bag (what does she feed that thing?) trying to get it to move, when all off a sudden she felt the bag lift up to where she was now dangling from the sack.

"Come on Kagome, we've got shards to find" Inuyasha looked at the girl who was hanging off of the bag which he was now holding.

Kagome let go of the strap and blushed "Uh arigato Inuyasha" she smiled and followed him back to the village.

"Ah lady Kagome, it is so nice to have such beauty within the vicinity" Miroku was the first one to see the oncoming couple.

"Uh thanks Miroku." Kagome blushed as Miroku bent down to kiss her hand, "Um you know Sango is like right behind you" she pointed to Sango who getting ready to bash his head in with her boomerang.

Miroku turned around abruptly "I mean more beauty, if that is even possible since your already here" Miroku ran from the coming assault.

Kagome felt a familiar weight on her shoulder, "Well hello Shippou, I missed you" she smiled at the kitsune.

"I missed you too, it was so boring, all I got to do was watch them two fight" he pointed towards the now unconscious Miroku and the ruffled Sango.

Kagome laughed a little and sat down on Keade's porch.

Inuyasha dropped the bag by the door way and went inside to look for Keade, "Hey hag, you in here?" he yelled as he looked around the dark room.

"I'm right here Inuyasha, Kagome is with I presume?" she came out of a back room.

"Yeah she's here" he pointed with his thumb out the door.

"Very well Inuyasha" she moved past him out to go see Kagome.

Not very far from the village by which the well is located an old woman was sitting and watching with interest, "so he's the one they call Inuyasha, now how to take away what he prizes most?" she asked herself.

She looked back to the scene unfolding before her "It's obvious that the girl is his prized, possession" she sneered a little "this will be easy. First I'll break her trust in him and then I'll let him break her for me" she smiled, and left to go to work.

Kagome had just finished serving the ramen she had brought back, 'I'm so glad I remembered to get it otherwise I'd have to' she looked at Inuyasha and gulped 'cook raw meat' she shivered remembering the last she had forgotten to bring ramen, and the animal (she thought it was a goat, at least she hoped it was a goat) she had been forced to cook.

She looked at Inuyasha who had finished his ramen and now was staring into the bowl intensely, a little bit too intensely for a sane person, but this being Inuyasha, she decided to let it slide and act as if she didn't notice.

Inuyasha was deep in thought, 'she also told me that she just think of Kouga as a friend, but she's always so nice to him when he comes around" he was beginning to growl at his empty bowl of ramen.

The others had noticed and decided just to scoot away slowly.

'She could have just been lying to me, what if she really does like that Hobo. I'd like to tear his-' the growling was getting more menacing by the second.

'Uh maybe he wants a refill?' Kagome thought think that was the only reasonable explanation for his growling at her innocent defenseless bowl.

She filled up another bowl with ramen and began to slowly crawl over to him. Inuyasha didn't look up he just continued to growl, 'Oh well the most he'll do is yell' and instantly she switched the bowls and was back to where she had been sitting.

'And then I'd" he noticed that now his bowl of ramen was full, "Huh?" he looked around the room and saw Kagome sitting by the pot of ramen, he shrugged 'better not look a gift horse in the mouth' and he gulped down the ramen.

The sun had set and Inuyasha was leaning against a wall of Keade's house thinking, "ok so it's decided I'll destroy the well,' he looked over to a sleeping Kagome, 'she doesn't even like it there anyways, she's always bored, and that school, she doesn't like the work, she even said the life she had there had been crushed so what's wrong with it?'

He got up and began to run towards the well he stopped in the brush leading out to the clearing where the well was, 'I cant do it' he lowered his head 'I can't do that to her'.

He turned to heads back when he heard something in the clearing, 'could be a demon' he smiled and turned back around.

Kagome looked around, "where'd Inuyasha go?" she whispered. Then she smiled, 'well if he's not here I can go back to my time and grab the homework that I forgot.'

She stood up and left the hut, 'anyways I'll be right back' and she picked up her pace so that she'd be back before someone noticed she was gone.

'Maybe I'll be able to take a quick bath while I'm there' she stepped out into the clearing.

"Oh my god" she covered her mouth with her hands. There in front of her stood Inuyasha with Tetsiaga fully transformed, but that wasn't what had upset her, beyond him was the well, in shambles, pieces of stone were everywhere.

She looked at Inuyasha with eyes full of tears, "Inuyasha, how could you?" she stood there not moving, 'how could he have done this to me? I trusted him, I thought he was my friend, my best friend. My family I'll never see them again, what about my other friends?'

She fell to her knees, the tears were streaming freely from her face now.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, "Kagome shh, don't cry" he stepped towards her and bent down to wipe her tears.

She didn't flinch when he touched her, it didn't even seem that she noticed her eyes were out of focus and she was now staring at the ground.

She looked at Inuyasha, "how, how could you?" if he wasn't part demon he wouldn't even have heard her.

Inuyasha looked confused for a moment, "Kagome I didn't, I wouldn't do that to you" he looked her deeply in the eyes, 'don't worry Kagome whatever bastard did this will pay dearly for your tears.'

Kagome stared at him, 'he didn't do it?' her eyes glistened with tears, "I'm sorry Inuyasha" she buried her head in his kimono.

"Kagome why are you sorry, this happened to you" Inuyasha wrapped his arms around the shaking girl.

"I didn't trust you, Inuyasha… can we fix this?" Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, 'can we fix this?'

A/N Ok that sounded way to sad for me, anyways, I know perfectly well that Inuyasha does not wear a Kimono it just sounded better there, oh yeah and sorry for not updating for so long.
Thanx
