"Inuyasha." Kagome interrupted.

"What?" he asked. He looked over his shoulder at the aged Kagome, who somewhat looked the same, but never the same as before. He saw that Kagome was crying, or silent-bawling more like it. "Oh, JESUS CHRIST, Kagome! Don't cry NOW!!"

"But..but the well! I'm not even sure it works anymore!!" *sniffsniffsobsobsob*

"It does, you idiot! How do you think I got here in the first place? Age hasn't changed you anything, Kagome." He flew to the well with Kagome on his back. He jumped in so fast that Kagome hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath.

"We're here." Inuyasha said. Let's begin our journey. You can walk. They walked together in silence through Inuyasha's forest for what seemed like eternity. Kagome never complained, though. She knew the product at the end would result in eternal youth. Finally, when the sun went down behind the mountains, Inuyasha found a place for them to camp out.

"We're sleeping here," Inuyasha said, and pointed to a bunch of dead boughs and leaves. Kagome said nothing, but somehow she felt worried.

"Inuyasha." she started. Inuyasha grunted. "Something. I think that something is going to.AHH!!!!!!!!!" Kagome shrieked. Inuyasha whirled around just in time to see that Kagome had been swept up into the big palms of the Ghost of Four Souls. (GOFS)

"KAGOME!!" he yelled. "The ghost of four souls. you're going to regret this! DEMON BE GONE!" he lashed but the ghost stood firm. The ghost stood with Kagome flailing in his palm. He poked at her, miniscule in size compared to him with his other claw.

"Here you are, girl. I have been looking for you." Said the ghost, whose icy breath chilled Kagome to the bone.

"What do you want of me? I'm just a mere human!! Let go of me and leave me and Inuyasha alone!!!"

"My, my, girl. Be patient. I have things to tell you. I am not at all bad. Do I look evil to you? I'm here to help you."

"What in seven hells??" Inuyasha breathed, bewildered. "If you're here to help us then stop harming Kagome!" he yelled, obviously angered. Kagome stared at him. 'Did he REALLY say that?'

"Alright," said the GOFS. "Just promise never to lash your claws out at me again."

"Put her down!"

"Ok, ok!" After the GOFS had released Kagome, Inuyasha ran to her and put his arms protectively around her.

'Seriously, am I dreaming or is he really protecting me?' Kagome sighed with relief.

"You want to help us." Inuyasha asked, more like a statement than a question. He observed the GOFS closely and finally asked, "Who are you?"

The GOFS stood up to his full height and said, "I am." and began transforming with lightning and rain flashing everywhere. "I .AM.."

To be continued.
