"1....2.....3....4....5.." Sota counted. His head was against the tree. His eyes were closed. He was playing hide and go seek with Inuyasha.

Inuyasha searched for a place to hide. He looked up at the tree.

'No.. too easy..'

Then looked at a bush nearby.

'Well,... nah! I'm too big to fit behind it.'

Then he looked at the open door of the well house. He smirked.

'Perfect!'

He quickly went inside and hide behind the well. He smirked to himself.

'He'll never find me behind here!'

'and you said I was bad?'

'Shut up!'

'You're suppose to be helping Kagome with the homework you idiot! remember?'

'I know. She's smart. She cane do it on her own.'

'...sometimes I wonder why I even try to help you out.'

'Oh shut up!'

Then he heard Sota counted the rest.

"37...38...38...40! Ready or not.. here I come!" Sota yelled. Inuyasha coule hear him running out looking for him. He heard the rustle of the bush he was going to hide in. Then... the thing he feared most sounded out.

"SIT!"

Inuyasha faced planted on the ground. His ears twitching. Kagome yelled out to him. "INUYASHA! You'd better come out before I yell another you-know-what!"

"OK WENCH! I'M IN HERE!" Inuyasha yelled out from his posisiton on the ground. He slowly pulled himself off the ground as Kagome made her way into the well house. He was in for a good yelling right about now.

'see ya!'

'Hey! Where are you going?'

'Away from here.'

'Coward.'

'Against her.. yes I am. SO what?'

'.....'

Inuyasha growled at the little voice. Even the voice was scared of Kagome's rampage. Inuyasha looked at a very angry Kagome.

"Did you just growl at me?!" She asked, pointing a finger at him.

"NO! Of course not!"

"Then who were you growling at?"

"Umm... Umm.. The creature in the well!" He shouted out.

"..What creature in the well?" She questioned. All her angry gone from her voice for the time being. Kagome turned around and looked down the well. "I don't see any well creature."

Inuyasha then tried to tip-toe out the well house.

'Now who's the coward?'

'Will you shut up already?!?!'

"HOLD IT!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha painfully turned to her.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I'm not through with you yet Inu-!" She started to say.. when she was grabbed from behind by a creature from the well!

'What irony!'

'You gonna help or point out the obivious!?'

'I go with the safer answer.'

Inuyasha lundged at the creature, but was struck down by one of it's many arms. It was a centipede! It pulled Kagome into the well!

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled out. He quickly jumped into the well after them.

He felt himself surrounded by fluid. He looked around, not caring where he was.. just where Kagome was. He saw her being held by the centipede. He made a swimming motion and started to go towards them.

He quickly sliced through the demon and grabbed Kagome into his arms. She hugged him back. He only gave himself one second to think about how good it felt to feel Kagome against him, before 'swimming' up out of the well.

He jumped out of the well with Kagome in his arms. He set her down next to him.

"Are you alright?" He asked, truely concerned.

"I think so. What was that thing?" She asked.

"A DEMON!" ANother person yelled out.

They both looked up to see a group of villagers, who looked ready to fight, surrounding them.

"Wait.. where are we?!" Kagome asked Inuyasha, holding onto him for support.

Inuyasha looked around wide-eyed. They were.. at his home.. His real home!

"We're.. at my home.." He said slowly.
