Chapter 15: Ninja

The newly added Shikon no Kakera hunter, Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sango left from the two girls' village in search of the shards.

Kagome, on Inuyasha's back because her legs were to weak from the strain she had put on them, and Sango and Miroku on Kirara's back.

They came to an old shrine. There was a large tree and a small house next to the sacred looking tree. The actual shrine looked to be for some warrior of some sort. There was an old building in the back, seemingly unattended even longer then the shrine.

"This si t he shrine of Moshashi. The warrior was a man from the future and saved this world." Kagome explained in a tired voice. "The shrine was abandoned as they had learned of a new hero. The building in the back is the transporter to take him from this world to his." She pointed to the building covered in vines.

"So…they gave up on him?" Sango asked as she climbed off Kirara's back.

"His wife, a miko from this time, put a barrier to block others out. The barrier is now settling into an ever more protective shield. Most people cannot get in here unless you believe that he is a strong warrior." Kagome said as she closed her eyes and rest her chin of Inuyasha's shoulder.

"I believe it." Sango said.

"I do too." Miroku said as he followed the taijiya in putting their hands on the barrier.

"Inuyasha, try and see if you can go through." Kagome said as she looked up at the barrier, not once looking at him.

"Uh…right." He walked cautiously over to the barrier and they all pushed through. When they made it through safely Kagome sighed shakily and looked around.

"The small hut over there is an ancient well." She said quietly.

"A well?" Sango asked as she looked in that direction. "He went through a well? Wouldn't he drowned or something?"

"It was an empty well. Anyway, it is said that he would jump into the well and a blue light would engulf him."

"Let's check it out." Miroku said. "If what Kagome-sama has said is true then…there may be some shards in the well." He said.

The all nodded and walked over to the well.

When the got there Inuyasha set Kagome down on the lip of the well and they all looked at her.

Kagome closed her eyes for a second, then opened and narrowed them. "An unholy place such as this one is not fit for such a warrior." she said as she tightened the sash around her waist which was around her waist, holding her kimono around her. Her Dark Dragon flared black but she ignored it as she looked down at the sealed well. She turned to sit cross-legged and pulled one of the ofudo's off. The well lid flared up and flew off in different directions. Though the whole scene Kagome had not moved. She looked down into the well and gasped.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked. He was instantly at her side, holding her arms to keep her from falling.

"This is…this is…this is the bone eaters well of Surgiro village." She said in horror.

"Surgiro village?" the all asked.

"The village of Immortals. It's a hidden village filled to the brim with odds and ends, people from different families who have unusual immortality." She explained as her arms got tired. She fell against Inuyasha but still looked down the well in horror. "We must go down there to see what's on the other side."

"What are you crazy?!" Inuyasha yelled at her. "I'm not going in--!"

"I'll come." Sango said.

"Me too." Miroku agreed as they stepped forward.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Wait!" Inuyasha said.

"Kagome laughed. "C'mon. You won't die."

He blushed as he looked away. "Fine."

Kagome smiled a weak smile and he pulled her onto his back. They jumped down first, followed by Sango and Miroku who were holding hands and holding onto Kagome's shoulder.

"Hmm…this is boring." The shadowed person said as it sighed. The shadow walked over to a corner and sighed.

It took off its mask to reveal full red lips and tan skin. Her eyes were dark blue. She took her ponytail out and her long brown hair fell over her shoulders as she seemed to come out of the shadows and shine brighter then the light in the room.

Her back had a white fan attacked which had the character 'Ai' on it. She pulled it out and looked at her fan in the light. It was like one of those paper ones except hers was made of metal and very very unlikable when it met your skull.

"I hate Naraku. I must find a way to retaliate." She muttered as she looked at her fan and laughed. "Well, I gotta avenge my family somehow and get back my sister Tsukia. I just hate hiding from her like this."

She pulled a bag of money out of her Chinese shirt and looked in at the contents. There was 300 yen. Not much.

"Damn. I'll have to steal some more or mooch of some man tonight." She said as she sighed and looked at the wall. "Gotta find some money."

She then drifted off to sleep thinking about her favorite things: Food, food, food, money, money, money, and her sister.

"This is…what's in that run down well?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around at the well. "Nice effects but...we're in the same place."

"No…it feels different. It's noisier." Sango muttered as she strained her ears to listen.

Kagome was panting a gripping Inuyasha's haori. She looked up and pointed. "New building." She said shortly.

"How do you know?" Miroku asked as he looked up. "It looks like a bunch of boards to me."

"Their cleaner and better built. Let's go up there." Kagome said in her tired and almost bored sounding voice.

They climbed up the side of the well and out into the new world.

"300 yen? That's too much." The young ninja girl said as she looked at some steaming hot buns. "If you give me 100 yen then I'll kill anyone who's bothering you."

"You got a done deal." Eh said as he shook her hand oblivious to the deal he had been jipped from. He handed her the bag of money and smiled as he lead her into the house behind his stand.

"What is your name, young lady?" he asked.

"Uh…Tastunai." She said as she looked around the house. IT was decorated with weapons of all sorts. She swallowed as she smelt the strong small fo blood.
