Alrighty! Now to finish this off!



Chapter Seven, Part one: Open Wound

"Kaede?Kaede-baba???" Kagome said, leaning back onto the God Tree. "That surely can't be right." A flash shot through Kagome's body

"A demon! Its coming form the well!!" She raced towards the well house. Is it Inuyasha??? Shippo? She'd even be happy to see Sesshomaru!

As she arrived at the house, the demonic power grew immense. A darkness seemed to loom over the Bone Eaters Well.

"What does this mean? Is something happening back there? Oh, I gotta get back!" She jumped into the well. Nothing happened.

"But I know it! I know the answer!! I can't let her…it…I can't!" Kagome sobbed, digging furiously at the dirt. Her vision became blurry. At first she thought it was tears, but soon her arms felt so heavy…so very heavy..

"Wha-at….'s….going…on?" She said, almost sleepily. Her head slumped onto her wounded shoulder, and her body fell to the ground. On her back blood soaked her shirt, flowing from the cut that had been only minuets before completely healed.

Part 2- ???

Kagome felt as if she was floating in thin air. Out of nowhere something, like a window almost, popped up in the back of her mind.

"Kaede…. Kaede-baba?! What are you doing??" A voice…Inuyasha's!

Screams…. Kagome suddenly felt the pain of the cut. She doubled over, her breathing raspy.

"Kaede-sama?! What's going-" She sound of flesh hitting flesh sounded sickly.

"I must receive the fourths! The one shall not pass!" Through the blurry 'window' Kagome saw the well. Or what was left of it. Blasted to bits, with charred wood and dirt its only remains.

"No…wonder I couldn't get back….." Kagome gasped her breathing irregular.

She felt the Shikon shard in her right hand suddenly begins to warm. Her wound's pain diminished rapidly and her glazed eyes re-opened.

"What's this??" The window disappeared. The sounds, grew loader, however, and the flames brought not only sight but warmth and smell. And then, she was there, in the wreckage of the well.

"Kagome!" The voice. It was rough, yet had a warmth like no other voice Kagome knew.

"Inuyasha? INUYASHA!!!!"
