Chapter Two: Surprise on the other side of the well!
Kagome rolled out of bed and stared at the clock. 8:36. Crap, she had slept in. she pushed herself up and quickly got dressed. After explaining to Seven about the well and what was on the other side he had gone to bed. He took that awful well she thought. Not many could just go to sleep after hearing the story she had told him. She had asked Inuyasha to bring her bag through the well last night so she could make a quick escape in the morning. She tiptoed to Seven's room and peeked in. He was still asleep, thank God. She dashed for the well and threw herself over the side.
She pulled herself from the Bone-Eaters well and into the clearing. Inuyasha was nowhere in sight; he must be sleeping to, good. She started for Kaede's village, trying to straighten her clothes and hair. I must look a mess she thought. I got no sleep, no bath, and had to get dressed in the dark, at least my clothes match. She heard a twig snap behind her and whirled. Nothing, God she was becoming a paranoid. She kept walking, only a little faster. She had to be back by early afternoon or her mother would kill her. Suddenly she heard a loud snap overhead followed by a curse and WHAM a branch fell into the brush to the side of the path. With the branch she saw a man dressed in a red coat, the leaves were covering his face. She screamed "INUYASHA!!" the figure rose and started for her.
Inuyasha jerked awake he had heard. Kagome! He jumped up and threw the Tetsusaiga through his sash. Miroku sat up rubbing his eyes. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" he yawned. Inuyasha didn't stop moving for the door. "I heard Kagome scream." He shouted over his shoulder. "What!?" Miroku jumped up "Sango" he cried, "Kagome's in trouble" Sango opened her eyes and stared at the monk who was racing for the door "come on." He called "Kagome may need us." Sango got up and grabbed her Hiraikotsu on her way out. "Can't she stay out of trouble for one day?"
Inuyasha was the first to arrive at the scene. He ground to a halt. "Damn it Kagome you got me all worked up and it's only this bum!" Seven was standing with his back against a tree rubbing the bump on his head. Kagome was next to him trying to see if that was his only injury. Miroku burst through the trees with Sango on his heals. "Kagome! Inuyasha! What's going on?" he had his hand on the rosary that held the air void. Inuyasha turned on the monk. "It's nothing, that bum followed Kagome here and he fell out of a stupid tree!" Sango looked surprised "He Followed her here, as in through the well?" Miroku blinked "Is that possible, I thought only Kagome and Inuyasha could pass through the well." Inuyasha glared at Seven. "That's right how did you get here you Jack ass, come on I want answers!" Kagome backed away from Seven and faced Inuyasha. "Come on you guys give him a break, he just fell out of a tree!" Miroku smiled "well then let's get back to the village for some food." Sango still looked oddly at Seven "food and answers." She continued.
Back in Kaede's hut, the whole group sat around the fire eating Ramen noodles. Shippou sat behind Kagome trying to break out on the Chinese finger trap. Seven started by introducing himself, as Kagome's cousin, fortunately Miroku and Sango knew what a cousin was. After introductions were given all round Sango popped the question. "So, Seven," she started slowly "how did you get here?" he took another bite of noodles and wiped his mouth "well," he burped into his hand. "I just followed Inuyasha through the well last night and waited for Kagome to come." He tossed the paper noodle cup into the fire. Sango frowned "that's not what I meant, I want to know how you were able to pass through the well in the first place." He sighed and started to unbutton his shirt. "Anyone with a link to the past or the future can pass through a time hole." He took off his coat and grabbed the edges of his shirt preparing to pull it off "Kagome has the shards, Inuyasha has Kagome and I," he was cut off by Inuyasha "what do you mean I have Kagome?" he yelled. Seven stopped and replied "you have promised to protect her have you not? That is a very strong bond for those with Youkai blood." "Whatever" Inuyasha grumbled. Seven smiled. "As I was saying my link is a part of my body." He pulled of his shirt and everyone gasped.
On the center of his chest was what looked like a black eye, traced with thorns. At first glance it looked like an ordinary tattoo but then the pupil of the eye moved scanning the occupants of the room. "Dear God what is that?" Miroku asked. He was subconsciously gripping his arm. "This is my link." Seven stated as if it were a simple thing. "My master put it in me, it's a Great Dragons Soul" the eye finished its surveillance and closed looking like a simple tattoo again. He called me to his time in the past and put this in me, he had one as well, but he said that he needed it to keep his own soul in his body." He pulled his shirt back on. Kagome looked surprised "you have been to this time before?" Seven finished buttoning his shirt. "Well I'm not sure." He opened another cup of Ramen. "I have been to a time like this but it was different somehow." He shrugged "oh well I'll figure it out later." With that he turned to his noodles.
Sango was still curious about his chest however. Things like that were dangerous to have and were almost impossible to create. She knew what it was although she didn't share that fact. It was an ancient spell called a soul binder. It linked the soul of the Youkai it represented to the human, binding their strengths together. If that truly was the soul of a Great Dragon in his chest, and he could control it, than he was stronger than Inuyasha! "Tell me Seven, who was your Sensei?" Seven lowered the Ramen bowl. "my Sensei was the last of the great Youkai slayers of this era." He threw the cup into the fire next to the first. "His name was Kohaku." Sango gasped "oh my God" she whispered "Sango are you all right?" Miroku was leaning over her, concern in his eyes. "I'm fine"
Seven looked confused "did I say something wrong?" Kagome steeped in "Kohaku is the name of her little brother." Seven blinked and rubbed his chin. "Tell me Sango, what weapon does your brother use?" Sango drew closer to the fire. "He used a very unique weapon, he made it himself, he called it a scythe." Seven's eyebrows furrowed as he stared into the fire. "Could it be a coincidence, no impossible." He shook his head "my Sensei used the same weapon along with his cat Youkai." This time Sango pressed the question. "What was the cat Youkai's name? Please Seven I need to know." Her eyes were pleading to him for the answer. "Seven thought for a moment. "I'm almost certain that he called it Kirara, although. hey Sango are you ok?' Sango had collapsed and was crying. Seven slapped himself "can't I say anything right?" Miroku put a hand on Sevens shoulder "I think it is that you said the right thing" he whistled and in bounded the cat Youkai. Seven looked surprised "well I guess there is some connection here, that is my Sensei's." Miroku put the cat Youkai on his lap and started to stroke it to sleep. "Kohaku is now under the spell o a Youkai called Naraku." He looked over at Sango who was still sobbing. "He is kept alive by a shard of the Shikon-no-Tama, a sacred Jewel who's fragments we are trying to gather." Seven drew back into the shadows against the wall. "Let us continue this tomorrow Miroku, it's a little to much for me in one day." Inuyasha had been sitting quietly in the corner, he yawned. "Man this is getting boring, I'm going outside." He jumped up and slipped through the door. Kagome sighed. "He never changes does he?" Miroku smiled "but would we want him any other way?" Kagome s She smiled "I guess not."
She stood and followed him outside. Seven looked over at Sango. She had fallen asleep. "She's been through a lot hasn't she?" he asked Miroku. The monk nodded "I don't know how she does it though." He replied "her family was killed before her eyes by her possessed brother, and now her brother is used as a weapon against us." He put Kirara next to the sleeping girl. "Come on lets let her rest."
