Disclaimer: Yes, yes, I am still all with the not owning of Inuyasha, but maybe someday I will get more of the DVD's.
As soon as the floor of the well swallowed up the small group, they seemed to appear on the other side.
"Hmmm, that was weird, the trip usually takes longer than that…" Kagome began to tell the others before the most repulsive scent invaded her nose. She couldn't quite place all the ingredients, but she recognized one: fire. She quickly looked to Inuyasha, his nose being more sensitive, but he was already on his way out of the well. Kagome scramble up the ladder, which her family had put down the well to make getting in and out easier. She silently thanked them as she hauled herself up.
The sight that greeted her at the top of the well was far from the usual. Flames had consumed the top, wooden portion of the house sheltering the well, and were also dancing about madly on many other buildings on the shrine grounds. Some buildings had already been laid to the ground by flames, others were untouched.
*This fire must not be very old, not everything has been hit by it* Kagome thought. She whipped around on her heel, looking frantically for Inuyasha, but had no luck locating him. Suddenly, she felt like a ton or two of bricks had hit her. *Mom, Souta, Grandpa, where are they? Did they get away? Are they trapped inside one of the buildings? Are they already dead?* Once again, Kagome flung her eyes about the burning shrine, this time seeking any hint of her family. When she saw them, no words could come to her, nothing in her body or mind or entire life could have prepared her for what she found.
Ok, seemed like a good place to end this chapter, more will follow shortly. Just want to say thanks to all the reviewers, I honestly didn't expect any so I was rather shocked. Fine, I was super giddy and drove myself nuts running around my house. Thanks for taking your precious time and using it on me.
