Author's note: Sorry I haven't updated in so long! I've been very busy, and this is tornado season where I live, so it's hard dodging tornados and writing too. ^_^
Questions and answers:

O.o They'll be related? Lol I guess they are similiar. One question though. Wouldn't Amon be a little demon? When I first saw Amon I thought he was like Aoshi in Rurouni Kenshin. ^_^ Wellz updatez soonz!
Background. Amon is about a quarter demon in this story. I got the idea from watching WHR episode 6, "Raindrops" Amon, Robin and Karasuma are investigating why a woman died from a car accident, and Amon says something along the lines of "Humans die so easily" or something like that. It reminded me of something Sesshomaru would say. Sesshomaru married a human, (guess who? To be revealed later….not who you would think though…) and she bore a son. When Kagome completed the jewel, she fulfilled everyone's wish, and this human was turned to youkai because Sess didn't want to be without her, but her first son was still half-demon…Amon's and Nagira's father…..(maybe why Nagira likes that white fluffy coat so much???) So Amon is more witch than demon, but has a human's life span. I hope that answered that question. If not, question away. ^_^ I love everyone asking questions. It makes me think more about how the story goes.
Thank you all for your reviews! I really appreciate them!
Chapter 3 Down the Rabbit Hole
Inuyasha carried Kagome through the well, and sat her down on the other side.
"Are you sure you're okay?" A concerned Inuyasha asked, looking deep into the miko's eyes, still carrying her bridal style.
"I'm fine," she said cheerfully, staring back into the amber pools. "They didn't hurt me too much. I don't even feel any pain anywhere."
"Lucky for them," Inuyasha muttered. Kagome snuggled into his chest.
"I'm happy you care so much, Inuyasha," she murmured. Inuyasha blushed a bit before abruptly putting her down. He couldn't let her get to close. She looked at him with questioning eyes, mixed with pain.
"I'll take you to Kaede's hut, and then I'll go back and finish those losers off," Inuyasha growled, one hand on Tessaiga. Kagome sighed.
"They are only humans, and they didn't hurt me, so if we leave them alone, they may go away. I don't want you hurting them." Kagome said as she began to walk toward the village.
"Keh. They tried to kill you and you don't want anything done about it? You're dumber than you look," he insulted, and turned his back on her, crossing his arms. Kagome smirked as she walked away, and tried the new miko power she knew existed.
'Oswari!' she thought, and Inuyasha heard it in his mind as he plummeted to the ground. Kagome kept walking, happy she learned a new power, while Inuyasha cursed her. When the spell wore off, Inuyasha dashed toward her, grabbing her by the shoulders and spinning around, making her face him.
"What was that for wench, and how did you do that!" He demanded.
"Get your claws off me!" Kagome screamed, but Inuyasha smirked and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm still stronger than you, and if you tell me to sit, you'll go down with me. Now answer my question!" Inuyasha demanded as he embraced the woman he loved. He could smell the sweet scent of her hair, and he could see the silky tresses in the moonlight. He expected Kagome to try to wiggle out of his arms, but to his surprise, she snuggled in closer, and embraced him back.
"It's a new power of mine. I used it when those people attacked me to tell you not to hurt them. I also used it a minute ago." Kagome sighed. "Why do you hate me Inuyasha? Do I remind you so much of Kikyo that you can't bear to look at me?" Kagome pulled back, and looked into Inuyasha's eyes. He gazed into hers, for what seemed like an eternity. Sure, she looked like Kikyo, but she wasn't Kikyo, and Inuyasha knew that. Despite what his head was telling him about keeping Kagome at a distance, he knew that he loved the woman before him. He noticed Kagome's eyes were sad, and she looked away. She pulled out of his embrace, and started to walk down the path to the village. He knew he hurt her by not answering, but he was afraid to admit his feelings to her. He was about to catch up with her when a bright flash came from the clearing where the well was. Kagome stiffened, as did Inuyasha.
"I smell the scent of demons and humans," Inuyasha said.
"I sense a jewel shard," Kagome whispered, as they both ran for the well. They made it to the clearing, and spotted ashes in the form of a large bug. Inuyasha pulled out his tessaiga, pointing it at the women who stood before them.
"Why are you here!" Inuyasha screamed. "You'll pay for what you did to Kagome! Where are the others!"

Robin pulled up to her apartment building, still pondering the small sliver of crystal in her pocket. She pulled it out of her pocket and examined it. She didn't notice when Dojima pulled up beside her in her car.
"Hey Robin, what's that? It's so pretty. Where did you get it?" Dojima asked. Robin stared at the small crystal, and answered Dojima without looking at her.
"I found it on the ground where that girl fell when we shot her. Maybe it's hers."
"Hey Robin, lets go back there and see if we can find some more. I bet it'll make a pretty necklace. Hop in! Come on!" Dojima demanded cheerfully. Robin was uneasy. This didn't look like an ordinary jewel. Dojima noticed Robin's hesitation, and added, "Hey, maybe we'll find the witch and that strange guy with the long hair. Come on, it isn't that late!" Robin nodded, and put her vespa in its parking space. She sat down in Dojima's car, and they headed toward the shrine where they were only an hour earlier. Maybe Robin would find some clue about the strange demon, and why he was immune to her fire power. Robin quietly looked out the window.
"I wonder if there are any more pieces of that crystal anywhere. It is really pretty, and an odd color. Do you think it belongs to the witch? Do you think we should tell Amon about it?" Dojima asked as she drove through the streets.
"I don't know. I probably should tell Amon about it, but I didn't. I want to investigate that well house. The witch and the demon went in there, but disappeared. It would be nice to know what happened." Dojima yawned, bored of all the talk of work. She parked a block from the shrine, and the two got out of the car and started walking carefully toward the shrine. The last thing they wanted was a confrontation with the family. The stealthily walked up the steps, and saw that everything was dark. The family was probably asleep. Robin and Dojima crept into the dark well-house. Dojima was instantly disappointed.
"How boring. You would think there would be something better in her. There is only a musty old well. I don't even see anymore of those pretty jewels. What a waste of time, let's go."
"Wait a minute. There is a ladder into the well. Perhaps there is a trap door of some kind." Robin suggested. Dojima's interest was piqued.
"Okay, we may find something." Dojima climbed down the ladder first, and examined the bottom.
"I don't see anything but dirt." She said as she dusted off her hands, and watched as Robin descended the ladder. Robin brought her feet down on the floor of the well, and instantly, the world around her started spinning. Dojima held on to Robin so that she wouldn't fall. They both felt like they were in a tornado, swirling, but in an instant it was over.
"Where did the ladder go? Why is this vine here?" Dojima asked Robin as Robin started to climb the vine. Dojima looked at the vine distastefully, but started to climb it as well. Robin was not ready for the sight that assailed her. The stars were brighter than she had ever seen. She was in an open pasture, surrounded by trees.
"Ewww. This vine is slippery. I prefer the ladder." Dojima said as she pulled herself from the well. She looked around. "Where are we?"
"I don't know. But it is very beautiful."
"Yes it is, but I'd rather be home," Dojima stated as she dusted her clothes off. Suddenly, through the trees came an enormous bug creature. It stood about fifteen feet high, and appeared to be a giant beetle of some kind. In its enormous red eyes, it held a gleam of greed. Large fangs protruded from its mouth, and it spoke in a scratchy voice.
"Jewel shards, you have some. Give them to me!" It descended on them quickly, and Robin reached for her glasses. She quickly put them on while Dojima stood behind her, almost cowering.
"What is that…thing?" She said in a small voice. "I left my orbo gun in the car!" Robin quickly toasted the large insect, and it was no longer a threat. All that was left was ashes in the shape of a bug.
"Why are you here!" They turned toward the shout in the darkness. "You'll pay for what you did to Kagome! Where are the others!" Robin noticed this was the same creature, the demon, she had fought earlier. And the witch she was supposed to hunt was with him. She was surprised to find that the girl was okay. Dojima and Robin stood, rooted to their spots, while the four of them stared, waiting for something to happen.
