Chapter 14: Back to the Feudal World

Kagome sat at her window, staring up at the moon. It was

almost full. It cast an ivory glow over the entire shrine,

giving it an eerie appearance. As Kagome sat there, she could

swear she started hearing a distinct squeaking sound coming from

the well. Looking down at the area, she spotted a certain

kitsune running from the well house. "Kagome!" He cried in his

squeaky voice. Kagome threw her window open. "Shippo, what's

wrong?" She called. Shippo tilted his head to face her second-

story window. "It's Inuyasha! He needs you!" He cried.

"Inuyasha!? What's wrong with him?"

"There's no time to explain! We have to hurry, before it's too

late!" The young demon cried. Kagome nodded. "I'll be right

down, Shippo! Just hold on!" She yelled back, before darting

downstairs. "Mom! Something urgent has come up! I have to go

back to the feudal dimension right away!" Kagome called as she

struggled to pull her shoes on. Mrs. Higurashi's face appeared

at the kitchen door. "Is everything all right, honey?" She

asked, concern on her face. "I dunno. But Inuyasha's in trouble

and he needs my help. I have to go." Kagome told her mother.

Mrs. Higurashi nodded and moved over to her daughter. She pulled

Kagome into a quick hug. "Good luck, dear." She whispered

before shoving Kagome out the door. "Now go save that demon

before he gets himself into more trouble!" She said with small

humor. Kagome nodded and ran into the backyard to meet Shippo.

"Let's go!" She called as she passed him, making a beeline for

the well house. Shippo followed eagerly. Both jumped into the

well without a second thought, and were soon enveloped in the

mysterious blue light that told them they were on their way to

Feudal Japan. As soon as their feet touched the bottom of the

well, they were grabbing for the vines that hung down the sides,

and pulling themselves to the top. It wasn't long before Kagome

was making a mad dash for Kaede's village, following close on

Shippo's heels. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she

could feel her sense of urgency rising with each step. They soon

broke out of the forest, into the pure moonlight of night.

"Kaede! Kagome's here!" Shippo called, before he even reached

the tiny hut. As soon as she entered the hut, Kagome fell to her

knees, exhausted from the long run. She panted as she looked

around, letting her eyes come to rest on the prone Hanyou lying

on the dirt floor. His skin was paler than normal, and beads of

sweat ran down his face. He was muttering inaudible words, and

twitching like mad. "What's going on?" She asked. "He has

traveled to my sister's world, in attempt to convince her to rest

in peace at last. But, it appears, she is yet too restless, and

will not sleep. If Inuyasha does not come out of this coma-like

state soon, he never will." Kaede informed the girl. Kagome

gasped. "B-But what can I do?" She asked, tears threatening to

spill from her eyes. "Ye must join Inuyasha, and try to bring

him back. But, as he does, ye will only have a limited amount of

time before the spell will wear off, and leave ye there forever."

Kaede told her. "But. . .Inuyasha is with Kikyo. . .he'll never

listen to me over her." Kagome whimpered. She hated to believe

it, but she knew that Kikyo had Inuyasha eating out of her palms,

and there was nothing she could do about it. Sango moved to

stand beside her best friend, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Kagome, if there's anyone who can bring Inuyasha out of this,

it's you. We all know that, and believe in you." She said, a

smile grazing her lips. Kagome looked at Sango, tears welling up

in her eyes. She nodded and looked to Kaede. "Okay. I'm going

to do this, and Inuyasha's going to come back with me." She

confirmed. Kaede smiled warmly and gestured to the place where

Kagome should lie down, right next to Inuyasha. Kagome lay down

next to her Hanyou crush and closed her eyes. Kaede began the

chant, and Kagome felt a chill go up her spine. Soon, her body

was beginning to go numb, starting with her feet, and working its

way up. Shortly after, she lost consciousness.

~~~~~~~ Ok, there's another one! Sorry if it's a little short. . .all in the master plan! ^.~ Oh, and for anyone who is all mad about Shippo being able to go through the well. . .I've heard tons of different stuff, and I'm not really positive if anyone besides Kagome and Inuyasha can get through the well or not. (If you remember, in the first eppie, that creepy spider lady got through the well and grabbed Kagome, so I dunno.) Well, for now, we're gonna say that Shippo is allowed through the well! So there! R&R! please?
