Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. However, I made up the character of Yaku.
This is my first time writing a fanfiction. Hope you will like or enjoy it! (^_^)
Nine o'clock on a Saturday morning.
"Sweetie, wait up," said a 25-year-old lady named Kagome, who had long wavy raven hair with a gentle smile on her face. With her pair of chestnut brown eye, she looked at her son and was trying to wake him up.
"Mama, why do I need to wake up this early?" said a 5-year-old boy named Yaku, while he was still yawning. He had silvery white hair with a pair of amber eye, and a very cute pair of white fluffy doggy ears on his head.
"Did you forget what day is today?" Kagome said softly, and played with his ears for a short while.
He got off his bed, and followed his mom out the bedroom. "I remember now. Today is Lunar New Year," Yaku said happily.
"Do you remember where are we going today?" Kagome asked.
While he was brushing his teeth and washing his face, he said, "we are going back to the shrine to visit great-grandpa, grandma, and uncle Souta."
'That's correct. All we need to do now is to dress you up," Kagome said, while walking toward his room with him behind her.
"Mama, can I wear that haori and yukata that grandma gave to me at last year's Christmas?" Yaku asked sweetly.
"I don't know. I don't remember where did I put that," she replied.
"We can go find it. I know it is somewhere in your room's closet," he said urgently.
Half an hour later, they found his haori and hakama. Yaku wore a solid red colored haori and hakama, and Kagome wore a light blue colored kimono with white colored flower pattern. She adjusted the Shikon no Tama, so it would be underneath his haori. The little boy suddenly changed his hair into black color, his eyes into dark purple color, and his cute doggy ears had changed into human ear.
They left their apartment, and drove their car to the shrine. When they arrived at there, they walked up the staircase to the shrine. Finally they were in front of the shrine, but his mom stopped walking on their way to the house that were behind the shrine. She was looking at the well house, which brought back so much memories. Then she gazed at the Goshinoboku, which was still standing very proud beside the shrine after all these years.
The little boy tucked her hand, in order to get her attention back. "Mama, why did you stop walking whenever you look at the well house or that tree?" Yaku asked quietly.
"Because every time I saw it, it would bring back many memories from the past," his mom replied quietly.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation. "What took you two so long?" Souta asked loudly, while he was still standing in front of the house.
Both of them went into the house, which was very nice and warm compared to outside.
"Kagome," said a woman in her late 30s or early 40s, and went to give Kagome a hug.
"Mama," Kagome said in return and also return the hug.
"Yaku, how are you doing?" his grandma asked after she released Kagome from their embrace, and hugged him.
"I'm doing fine," Yaku replied and return her embrace. Then he asked his mom, "can I change back to my own self now?"
"Yes, you can," Kagome replied.
"Yea," he said, and changed his black hair back to silvery white and his dark purple eyes back to amber color.
Yaku and Souta went into the living to play some card games or video games, while Kagome and her mom had a chat. Then they ate brunch.
After brunch, Yaku wanted his mom to play with him.
"What game do you want to play this time?" Kagome asked.
"Hide and seek. I'll hide and you'll seek," Yaku answered.
"All right. But don't enter the well house, OK?" Kagome said, covered her eyes with her hands and faced the tree.
"Okay," Yaku replied, and tried to find the best place to hide. He kept on jumping from one place to another. He really couldn't decide where to hide, and ended up in front of the well house. When he touched the door of the well house, the scroll that protected it gave him a little burn.
"Shit," Yaku said, quickly covered his mouth and very glad that his mom was not near him to hear what he just said. "Mama is going to kill me, if she found out I went near this well house and said a swear word."
Just when he was about to leave, a gust of wind blew that scroll away. Out of curiosity, Yaku entered the well house for the first time. He found that place had nothing special, except an empty well.
"I wonder what mama think whenever she saw this place," Yaku thought.
"She won't expect me to be here, because she thought I won't come into here. So this will be the perfect hiding place," Yaku thought, and jumped into the well.
Suddenly, everything around him changed. He was surrounded by a place that was dark and a violet color light was below him. Then his sight was blinded for few seconds by that light. He felt himself landed at the bottom of the well, but when he looked up there was no roof. He heard the sound of birds. He leapt out of the well, and rubbed his eye to test was his sight playing a joke on him. He was not on the shrine ground anymore, instead he was in a forest.
"I knew I should have listen to mama, when she told me not to go near that well house," Yaku said. "I'm going to be in big trouble, when she found out about this. I wonder where am I."
He saw that same tree, where his mom was supposed to be and should be still counting numbers. He ran up to that tree, but his mom was nowhere to be seen. A gentle breeze carried a scent that was very familiar. He followed that scent, and it led him right back to the well. He hid behind a bush, and saw a group of people walking toward or standing near the well.
"Inuyasha, I need to go back home. I need to go back to school to take the midterm finals," Kagome said, and carried her huge backpack.
"No, you are not going back until you helped us find the rest of the Shikon no Kakera," Inuyasha said angrily, and stood in front of the well to block Kagome's way toward it.
"We had talked about this many time, I really need to go back home and take those tests, if not, I won't be able to attend high school at this rate," Kagome said, and tried to restrain herself from sitting him.
"Inuyasha, you should let lady Kagome go back home once a while," Miroku said.
"Kagome will always come back, so you don't need to worry about her not coming back to help you find the shards," Sango said.
"Who said anything about worrying about her, I only care about the shards," Inuyasha stated.
"Sit," Kagome said firmly.
"Kagome, please come back soon. I will miss you," Shippo said.
"I will," Kagome said, but suddenly she stopped what she was doing and turned her attention to someone or something behind a bush.
"Someone or something with Shikon no Tama is there behind that bush," Kagome said, and pointed to the bush that was in front of her.
Everyone was on their defense mode. Inuyasha stepped a little in front of Kagome, in a protective way.
"Show yourself, coward," Inuyasha said loudly.
The person behind the bush jumped out, and was in front of them right now. He was a little boy that had silvery white hair with a pair of amber colored eye, a pair of cute white fluffy ears on top of his head, and dressed in a solid red haori and hakama.
"Who are you calling a coward?" Yaku said, and stood proudly in front of them.
"Kawaii," Kagome said loudly, started to step in front of Inuyasha, and toward the cute little unknown boy.
Yaku caught a brief smell of Kagome's scent, and said, "Mama?"
"What?" Inuyasha and the others said loudly, and could not believe what they had just heard.
