Chapter 6: A Friend's Betrayal
Nick climbed out of the well and looked around at the world that he climbed into. He was in a forest, there was a well, and Kagome.
Nick asked "Kagome, what is this place? How did we get here?"
Kagome didn't know what to say. "Well, uh. It's all just a dream. You fell asleep in your room, and you're dreaming."
Nick grabbed a stick from a nearby tree and scratched his arm.
"Boy, it doesn't feel like a dream."
Just then, there was a rustle in a nearby bush, and a small boy hopped out. He looked like a boy, but he had a fox-like tail and feet.
"Kagome! You're back! Hey guys, she's over here!" The fox-boy shouted. He then jumped into Kagome's arms, not even noticing the stranger nearby.
Then, three more people walked out of the forest. One had a giant boomerang on her back, one had dog-like ears and a sword at his side, and the last had a tall staff. They, on the other hand, noticed Nick immediately.
"Kagome, who is this?" Asked the girl with the boomerang.
Kagome told the story about Nick, how he came back 5 years later, and he accidentally fell into the well. She told Nick about Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Inuyasha, her adventures in the feudal era, and how she could only travel back using the Shikon Jewel.
Nick seemed surprised about this, but who wouldn't? "Boy, I never would have thought that you could travel back in time through this well. We spent most of our time around there remember?"
Kagome remembered, all right. They would toss stuff in there, Nick had saved her cat, and many other memories came back.
Kagome told Nick "Nick, you have to promise not to tell anyone about this. The only people that can know are my family and you."
"I promise I won't tell." Nick said.
Inuyasha didn't look so sure. He whispered to Sango and Miroku "How do we know we can trust this guy? Sure Kagome knew him, but that was years ago. He could have changed a lot."
Miroku whispered back "Well, we'll just have to trust them. Maybe he can help us get the jewel shards."
"Well, sure. If you want me to come along, I'll go." Nick said.
The others looked confused. How could he have heard Miroku from about 10 feet away?
"Maybe I should have mentioned this earlier, but while I was in America, I somehow hit my head, and now all my senses are enhanced. I can hear and see someone in a forest from miles away, I can see in the dark, I can smell something from miles away, place the exact flavor of anything, and feel the exact texture of any object. I also remember it. I remember everything since that day." Nick explained.
Kagome thought for a second. Nick was kind of like Inuyasha. Both their senses were heightened, but Inuyasha was half demon, so his was natural.
Kagome said "Well, I think we've had enough for one day. At least it will be easier now that Nick knows the secret. Let's go for now, Nick"
So everyone said his or her good-byes and Nick and Kagome left.
Back at Kagome's house, Nick and Kagome decided to go right to sleep so that they could go to the feudal era early tomorrow.
In Nick's room, he picked up his cell phone and dialed a number again.
In that metallic-like voice again, he said. "Hi, it's me. I know how to get in. Yes, I know what I must do now." He hung up.
He walked out of his room and peeked into Kagome's room. She looked asleep. Good.
Nick walked into the kitchen and picked up a knife from a drawer. He walked to Kagome's room and picked up the about half put together jewel on her dresser, looked at it in his palm, and closed it. He held the knife over Kagome's face. All of a sudden, he twitched his head and winced in pain. He shook it off and looked at his target. He raised the knife up, and brought it down.

End Of Chapter 6
Boy, what a cliffhanger huh? I watched "Halloween: H20" while I wrote this. If this seems a little familiar, then you might be right. I'll tell what's familiar about it next time.
I don't own Inuyasha, although I want to!
