It had been eight months, eight months since Inuyasha had fallen through the well into this strange world, so unlike the one that he knew. Quatre had been asking him about everything. Where he lived, what his story was (why he was a dog), if he actually was a youkai creature, and who Kagome was. He told the blond everything he could, but when he got to Kagome, he stumbled over his words and avoided the subject as best he could. Finally, Quatre looked at him, very seriously, and said:
"Inuyasha, I'm gonna cut to the chase, I want to know the exact place that you fell through. It is the only way that we can be sure where you came from and how to get you home."
"Kid, I don't know where I fell from, just that I fell and it wasn't the Bone-Eaters' Well that I fell through either."
"The Bone-Eaters' Well?"
"The way through which Kagome got to my time, I told you this already. She hadn't been to see me in a while, so I was going to go steal her away for the weekend. I jumped through the well and landed on one of your enemies, I think. You know the rest."
After their conversation, Inuyasha went outside, jumped into his tree and sat there fighting back the tears. He really missed Kagome, and his own time. The technology of this time was too complicated for him; it annoyed him most of the time. As he sat in the tree, Mariemedia came over to the foot of the tree and called up to him:
"Hey puppy-boy, come down here for a minute."
"Huh?"
Inuyasha looked down at the little girl, then had to look away from her fast, the look in her eyes reminded him of Kagome. The look was serious, but sad. He had smelled it on Kagome, her nervousness, and her sadness. The same look was on Mariemedia's face. She called to him again, this time putting a little more emphasis behind her voice. Seeing that he was ignoring her, she yelled something at him that he knew he would react to.
"Hey! Wufei-chan found something in the old factory, where they found you. A type of well or something. They left a few minutes ago, if you think you can catch up to them."
This makes Inuyasha's ears perk up, he leaps gracefully from the tree and takes off running. He tracked the car, catching up with it at a light and leaping into the back, almost landing grafefully beside Duo. He looked at boy, growled a
"Feh"
and turned his head toward the road again. Sitting perched on all fours, he waited, in the confines of small seat.
Finally, they stopped, got out and walked slowly into the wreckage of the factory. Inuyasha stood there, in the middle of factory, looking around for anything familiar. Nothing! He walked over and sat down on the ground, trying to think when he heard, or rather smelled something familiar. It was the smell of wet fur, in particular fox fur. He jumped up, and dashed off in the direction of the smell. Confused, he stopped, looked around, and then took off running again. In anger, he picked up a piece of scrap metal and threw it.
Collapsing on the on the ground, Inuyasha placed his head into his hands and howled. From somewhere ahead of him, he heard this:
"Iiiieeee!"
Perking up his ears, he stood up, and walked in the direction of the sound. Dangling from Trowa's hand was a very upset little Shippo. He was wet, and trying very hard to get out of Trowa's grasp. Inuyasha walked over to the creature, grabbed him out the clown's hand, and set the creature down. Shippo dusted himself off, and then looked up at his rescuer.
"Inuyasha?!? Where have you been, where are we, and who are they?"
"Shippo! I...I've been here, wherever here is, and they are... annoying. Where is Kagome, is she alright?"
"She's worried about you. The day you left to go get her, she came back looking for you. When I told her where you went, she said that you hadn't come through the well. We looked for you, but...then we got separated, and I found that well and jumped in. When I came out on the other side, I got out and tried to escape, but had a piece of metal fell on me. Mr. I'm So Big grabbed my tail and you rescued me. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You."
"You know this thing, Inuyasha?"
"Yeah, I know who he is. He help me...uh...us find the Shikon no Tama."
Seeing Shippo attack Trowa, Inuyasha laughed and said:
"Don't worry, he's harmless. Shippo, where was this well thing?"
"Over there, to the left, just look up."
He moves to where Shippo points him and stares up, it's not really a well, more a pipe. But somehow...it's the same, the smell of what he had fallen through. He climbs around, prepares to climb through it. He is stopped by Heero and Wufei, they look as though they were repelling from the ceiling. They each take an arm, their other hands supporting the ropes they're hanging on. He yells at them.
"Let me go!"
Both Heero and Wufei shout at him, throwing him back.
"No!"
"Inuyasha, I'm gonna cut to the chase, I want to know the exact place that you fell through. It is the only way that we can be sure where you came from and how to get you home."
"Kid, I don't know where I fell from, just that I fell and it wasn't the Bone-Eaters' Well that I fell through either."
