AUTHOR NOTE: Well, sorry it took longer than expected for me to get
back into my writing groove. But here is the second chapter, and I
hope to have the third up VERY soon. If there are any mistakes, blame
Carrie-BOO for not getting her butt back online soon enough to do the
editing for me. Love you anyway though BOO.
DISCLAMER: Same as Chapter 1.

The cold water and hard impact of the bottom of the well never came. Instead, a blue light with what looked like stars and motes of sunlit dust surrounded her. And her fall was slowed somehow, as though she were actually floating in the light, drifting and floating down like she had fallen into a really deep swimming pool. 'What the hell? What IS this? Ohmygod, I must have DIED! But were is the bright white light and all that other shit you hear people talk about?'
THA-THUMP
"Ahh! Ouch!"
Having just hit a dirt floor, decidedly better than cold water and stone, Samantha looked around. She wasn't able to see much, because there was very little light. She could feel the rocks and dirt beneath her hand and through the material of her jeans. She noticed that the strap of her backpack was still clenched in her left hand and she looped her arms through the straps with a practiced motion, hoping she hadn't broken her CD player in the fall. She also found the camera she had been holding when she fell. Remembering the cause of her plummet to the bottom of this pit, she cursed squirrel kind everywhere. Cautiously, she looked up registering the fact that she could see a faint glow and what must be stars from her position at the bottom of some sort of pit. Reaching out a hand, she felt along the wooden walls around her, as she ran her hands along the sides she could feel vines and that the boards that made up the walls were uneven but stable.
'Hey! I can climb this! Where the heck am I? I must have fallen through the bottom of the well. But that's impossible; the bottom of the well is fully exposed. Oh well, I guess I can figure that out better once I get out. Mom's probably pissed. I must have hit my head when I fell and passed out. That's funny, my head doesn't even hurt, my face does though, must have landed on my nose. I wonder why no one has come looking for me.' Walking along the sides, she felt her foot kick something that shifted beneath it. Looking down, she found that it appeared to be a bone of some sort. She didn't think this was all that unusual because the fields surrounding the forest that the well was in had been a cow pasture for a long time and she was always finding skeletons around that she assumed must have belonged to cattle that had died there for one reason or another. Getting her first hand hold, she lifted her foot and felt for a hold for her left toe, and lifted her right to do the same. Never having been much of a wall climber, of course this wasn't an easy task, she accomplished similar feats, but always with ropes to support and catch her if she fell. But the distance wasn't all that high, so as she pulled herself over the edge she wasn't even breathing very hard. Taking her fist look around the landscape surrounding her, she froze. This wasn't the forest she knew!

Inuyasha was pissed, instead of sitting him like she usually did, due to the fact that he wasn't putting her down long enough to do so, she had reached up and pinched his fuzzy little white triangle of an ear. "Ouch! Bitch!" Inuyasha cursed as he flicked the delicate appendage away from Kagome's harsh little fingers. "Well, if you'd LET ME GO I'd stop!" She yelled as close to Inuyasha's ear as possible, making both ears lay back against his head in an effort to preserve his hearing. Kagome was now struggling in his arms like a little wild cat, even though if she were honest with herself, she would have to admit that being held in Inuyasha's arms wasn't altogether such a BAD thing. Finally they reached Kaede's house, after one of Inuyasha's mad, tree- hopping dashes through the forest. Sitting a breatheless and unstable from all the learching of her stomach from the high altitude tree-hopping Kagome down, he heard her take in a deep breath to begin a long sting of sits that would have his offspring hitting the ground for generations, he quickly grabbed the back of Kagome's skirt. "Ha, you "sit" me, your skirt comes down too. And I'm not letting go. Ha ha, and I'm SURE Miroku is around her SOMEWHERE" "YOU! Let me GO! SANGO, HELP! INUYASHA HAS TURNED PERVERT!" Kagome screamed making Inuyasha lay back his sensitive ears yet again. Kagome Started yanking on the material of her skirt caught in his claws, hearing little rips she stopped in favor of just batting poor Inuyasha about the ears. Apparently, Sango was off somewhere out of hearing range of Kagome, despite her voice being plenty loud enough to make Inuyasha's eyes cross. Kagome was red-faced and her black hair was sticking out in all directions, reflecting her anger and frustration. Inuyasha thought she was beautiful. Getting even angrier because she could see his big gold eyes gleaming at her through the darkness in amusement, she said "FINE! It's not like your going to see anything you having seen while peeping at me anyway!" as she grabbed the front left hank of his silver hair which looked light blue in the moon light and pulled. Inuyasha's eyes were steadily widening at this, he had just opened his mouth wide to protest, exposing his little white fangs when Kagome set loose that string of dreaded "sits" she'd been holding back. "SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITS" Down went Inuyasha, down went the skirt. She stepped out of her skirt and stomped away with her hands fisted at her sides, leaving the dark green material in Iuyasha's stunned grasp. Kagome passed an equally stunned Miroku, who was just coming out of Kaede's door way as Kagome entered. As she passed him, she noticed his wide gaze slip downward and slapped him for good measure, promising in her mind more drastic repercussions if he dared. And Miruko being Miruko, of course, dared. SMACKSMACKTHWACK. Kagome slapped Miruko once on the hand, again on the cheek, and once on the head, knocking him to the ground where he faced a strangely grinning Inuyasha. "Heh heh, white. But I knew that already." was all he said. Miruko just wondered if maybe he had hit the ground a little too hard this time.
