Disclaimer: Er... Inuyasha definately doesn't belong to me. I don't think I
have the talent to be the creator. ^.^
Wheeee... Third chapter is up, now, and I actually had something happen in this chapter. I really had a completely different idea for this chapter, but as I wrote it, it seemed to come out this way. ^^ I know, I know, it's not too good...
But I'm loosing my interest. Only 3 reviews, so I'm not really sure if there is anyong out there that would even wish to read this. I'll still try to post as much as I possibly can. ^^ I might just have to cut the story short, if I have to... I'm not too good at this whole fanfiction thing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The rhythm of the broom sweeping across the ground echoed throughout the entire shrine. Other natural sounds of present-day Tokyo was quick enough to find their way to the sensitive ears of the hanyou living at the Higurashi shrine. He stood like a statue in front of the well house, staring at its entrance. Ears twitched every once in a while to pick up anything out of place.
Kagome was approaching Inuyasha from behind cautiously, hesitating before she took another step forward until she was only a few feet behind him. She was well aware that he knew of her presence, his ears perked up in her direction as if awaiting to be told what to do. "You know, you could return if you miss it so much..." Her soft voice, just above a whisper, was easily heard by the hanyou.
Inuyasha gave a rough shrug, "Feh, a hanyou like me doesn't belong there at all." He finally turned away from the well house, glancing in Kagome's direction before taking on another target to stare at. This time his victim was the house. His own current home.
Sighing, the young woman decided not to begin that conversation with Inuyasha once again. Instead she chose to look at the setting sun, clearing her throat before beginning. "Well, it has been a long month already. I wonder sometimes how Shippo-chan and the others are." She turned around to give the hayou a smile, however it soon faded into a frown.
Inuyasha was no where in sight. In one swift motion, he bounded back towards the house and disappeared inside. Most likely he was following the smell of the day's dinner almost ready.
Kagome's hands tightened into fists, her brows furrowing down as she stomped towards the house. As she slid open the door and stepped through, she realized that her family were still awaiting for the food to be finished, and no Inuyasha was in sight at all.
"Kagome?" She whirled around to the familiar voice behind her, brown eyes meeting Inuyasha's amber gaze. He slowly held up the Shikon to Tama with two fingers, jerking his head back to the courtyard for them to talk.
The two of them soon sat beside each other on the top step of the Higurashi shrine, Kagome leaning into Inuyasha, resting her head on his shoulder, as he twirled the jewel between his fingers.
"We went through so much trouble to retrieve all those pieces, and finally we have the jewel back." Kagome began, her eyes fixed upon the Shikon no Tama. "At first you wanted to become a full youkai, but now... We should use the Shikon no Tama up, so that no trouble will ever come from it again."
There was a thoughtful rumble coming from the hanyou's chest, his hand fisting around the jewel. "Have you realized how no youkai has come for it yet?" He glared off into the distant, as if daring anything to come and attack them.
Kagome looked up to his face, questioning him with large brown eyes. "Well, it isn't the Sengoku jidai. I guess youkai are just smarter now. It's not like the shards haven't been in danger here before."
"No... there's just something wrong about it... " Inuyasha trailed off, revealing the Shikon no Tama once again upon the palm of his hand. "There's no other choice, then. I'll become full human. Then I wouldn't have to worry about youkai, or this world." From the corner of his eye, he noticed Kagome's nose scrunch up. He gave his ear a twitch, glancing at her curiously. "What, don't tell me that you're not happy with that decision." He grunted.
Kagome simply leaned away, crossing her arms and watching him. "Not at all, Inuyasha. I think it's a good decision." She watched as her half- youkai companion stared at the jewel for a long a silent moment, before he once again clutched it in his hands. Or at least, tried to...
The jewel slipped out from his grasp, rolling upon the floor and moving away from the pair. Inuyasha emitted an annoyed grunt, getting up and moving towards it. However, as soon as he leaned down to pick it up, it simply rolled away from his reach.
"Inuyasha! Stop fooling around and get it," called out Kagome, still seated.
The hanyou tossed her a glare. "I'm trying to! It might be easier with your help, too!" He was chasing the jewel now, muttering about this odd behavior as he tried to snag the Shikon no Tama every time he got close enough. Just when he thought it was in his grasp, it simply hopped away. Kagome was soon helping, glaring at the jewel itself.
"What the hell is going on here!?" Inuyasha was irritated, watching as the jewel slipped into the well house. Giving Kagome a rather disturbing look that might appear a bit terrified, Inuyasha jumped the few feet that stood between him and the door, sliding it open and staring into the darkness. Soon enough Kagome joined him.
The Shikon no Tama gave a few clicks as it bounced down the stairs, rolling to a stop in front of the well.
"What the hell happened?" Inuyasha asked angrily, not willing to take his eyes off the jewel as he approached it once again.
"Inuyasha... Something just doesn't seem right." Kagome gave her home a last glance before following.
Angry still, the hanyou glared back at her. "What gave you that impression?" He finally looked down at the round object a foot away from it. As if taunting the youkai, it was rolling back and forth gently. "Are you mocking me!?" He growled at the jewel.
"Stop arguing with the Shikon no Tama and pick it up!" However, as if Kagome's words were a trigger, the jewel itself simply took flight, hovering up above the sealed well. It stood there in midair a moment before dropping down. As if expecting it to simply skip off of the covering, neither of the two in the wellhouse made a move to it. Though it was quite obvious to the two of them, as the sound of something breaking made it to their ears, that the jewel was able to penetrate the wooden cover, dropping into the well itself.
Inuyasha hissed a curse, leaping forward and shredding what covered the well with his claws before looking down with shard eyes. "It's... It's gone?" He blinked, trying to focus on the bottom of the well. "It just disappeared!"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Well, let's hurry and follow it before it is too late!" She rushed forward, pushing the hanyou down into the well as she soon leap over the rim and followed in a very familiar manner. As she decended slowly through the darkness of time, her mind raced with questions. *Something definately must have been calling upon the Shikon no Tama. But there couldn't be anything at all that would be able to do that, or could there be something we missed?*
It was one long month since the last time that the well was used to travel from one time to the other, and once again the reincarnated miko was heading back to Feudal Japan.
