The Nun and the Well Part 2
A figure cloaked in darkness slipped out of the small hut and dashed for the closest tree.
Kagome wiped her forehead and looked around. "Oh lord protect me." She crossed herself and closed her eyes for a few seconds, then descended into the thick, dark woods Sango's hut lay next to.
She had left the cabin after having her clothes taken to be washed. She had been clothed in a red, blue, and white kimono with many layers making it hard for her to maneuver. The nurses at the camp Sango was stationed at as a samurai were very generous in housing Kagome, being a stranger. They bathed, fed, and clothed her and even made her a place to rest.
Kagome sent her heart out to them and Sango and hurried through the woods, clutching the necklace around her neck tightly, the cross dangling from it pressed hard into her hands.
She walked at a hurried speed blindly, crashing into trees and other inanimate objects as she walked.
Finally, after falling once more over an upturned vine, she reached a bright clearing. The moonlight bathed the clearing, shining a sort of spotlight on a tree in the center of the empty forest area.
She could hear the voices of the forest, whispering to her to turn back. Only thing was she couldn't speak forest so she ignored their warning and walked up close to the tree.
It was an old tree with many scars from weather and such. One thing intrigued her, though. A hole that ran through the tree and stopped about short of the three feet density Kagome predicted the tree was.
She ran her finger across the deep depression and put her eye to the hole, trying to see through to the other side.
All she saw was a dark white at the other side, she assumed a dead or sleeping animal.
Tracing her fingers around the trunk with one hand and holding up the many layers of clothing she wore, she went around the trunk, ready to examine the tree. But she stopped, her eyes wide and a shriek caught in her throat.
She stumbled back from the tree and fell on her bottom gasping and staring at the tree.
A human, a human MAN, was tacked up on said tree like a poster advertising the Jello Wrestling for the seniors at the high school. His black hair wafted in a cold breeze of night air. His outfit was a tattered white haori and a black hakama, his feet wrapped in shredding cloth, cloth not unlike the kind you use to wrap wounds with.
Kagome scooted away as fast as she could but was stopped by a force that bounced her away from the thick forest beyond.
Kagome whipped around fast, pulling her cross necklace and holding it out in front of her. The force that had blocked her shined like a wafting soap bubble, a transparent kind of rainbow shining where she had bumped into.
"A barrier?" she whispered, looking up to where she thought the roof of the rubbery magic was. She reached a finger out a poked it, watching the barrier react.
"Just leave it, I've already tried to break it." A voice came from behind her. It was scratchy and sounded unused.
Kagome whipped around, her cross in front of her body once again. She was surprised beyond words as she watched the man on the tree turn his head toward her and hold her gaze with a hard, unemotional stare.
"What, don't talk Japanese?" he asked. The slang threw Kagome off a bit, thinking a man looking as ancient as he did would speak a more native form of Japanese.
She swallowed. "How are you talking?" she asked unintelligibly, slag tinting her usual perfect enunciation.
"Duh, I am alive, aren't I, stupid." He closed his eyes in annoyance and everything was silent except for the wind spinning off the barrier. He opened his eyes against and took a double take, a puzzled look on his face. Finally a sense of recognition washed over his features, but it wasn't the kind of recognition you get at a teary-eyed reunion.
He glared. Kagome jumped again, his glare was blood freezing cold.
"Cut you're hair all weird like did ya, Kikyou?" he asked in equally cold voice. "Did think you wouldn't be able to get out of your own barrier, huh?"
Kagome blinked. "What are you talking about?" she looked around herself, seeing if there was any "Kikyou"'s around. IT dawned on her that he was speaking to her. "I'm sorry, sir, but you have the wrong person. I'm Kago-- ."
"Don't be givin' me that, "You got it all wrong" bit." He growled.
Kagome closed her eyes and spoke a prayer in her mind. "Lord forgive for I am about to sin." She stood and walked up to him, his angry glare following her and watching her like a hawk.
She got close to his face and yelled, "My name is Kagome Higurashi and I WILL NOT tolerate a MANS advances!"
"Advances?!" he yelled back. "Why the hell would I want to make ADVANCES on you?!"
"Cause you're a pervert!" Kagome yelled back.
"And you're a bitch that kills any guy she meets just because he said he didn't like the taste of her rice!"
Kagome sucked in another breath. "And I am NOT this Kikyou girl!" she yelled.
"And I say you--." He stopped and leaned back, his head making a slight bumping sound against the tree. "Shit. . .you aren't her." He said. After examining Kagome more he seemed to come to a conclusion. "She had bigger boobs."
A vein popped in Kagome's temple and she reached her hand out, slapping against his cheek. "I'm sooo sorry I'm not her!" she yelled.
She stood back an he reached out toward her. "Wait! The only way you can get out is to get me off this tree." He said.
"The invitation is appetizing, really, but I think I'd rather dig a whole then let you loose. You might try to rape me or something." Kagome muttered the last part.
But he still heard. "I am NOT a pervert!"
*--*--*
Three hours later and a bunch of digging Kagome and the tree bound man were still inside the barrier.
"Give up yet?" he asked, bored.
"No!" she snapped and continued digging. It seemed like the farther she dug the more barrier filled up her hole. All hope was lost, except for his idea. Release him from the tree.
'But if I set him free he might do something to me,' she thought worriedly, 'and then I would be disloyal to the lord. Oh lord, give me a sign!'
She stood and huffily stomped over to him. He held a smirk upon his face and watched as she climbed the winding roots the held his arms, legs and body tightly to the tree. Reaching up to him she latched onto his shoulder and pulled herself up fully so she could examine his chest.
"Just pulled out the arrowhead." He instructed.
"What arrow--."
"In my chest, idiot." He said, knowing what she was going to say.
Kagome nodded and swallowed hard, a lump forming her throat and a blush across her face. She had never come in such close proximity to a man, only her stepfather, and even with him she stayed a fair distance away.
She pulled his haori open, her blush hidden by her hair as she leaned forward to examine his chest. Skin was not growing over the pointed top of the arrowhead but the skin around the wound healed nicely, almost protecting the silver arrowhead.
She reached toward it and gingerly fingered it (A/N: that sounds wrong....) before pursing her lips and trying to tug on it.
"It won't come out like that, stupid, you have to push it back in." he said as he rolled his eyes at her dumb attempts.
Kagome nodded and felt her mouth go dry. She pushed her hands against the tip of the arrow and pushed as hard as she could the silver stone pushing back into his body. Kagome worried for a second. 'What if it hurts him,' she thought and stopped her heaving, 'what if it hits his heart.'
Kagome dashed away those thoughts and followed his instructions. Finally the arrow was hidden away in his body.
A light burned around them, the tree, and the clearing. The barrier wavered and thinned, then disintegrated in a poof of rainbow colored fragments.
The man started glowing as well and the force of the vines whipping off him knocked the nun away from him, landing on her bottom a few feet away.
The tree was thrashing madly with the wind that was now picking up.
The sun was rising now and standing in front of Kagome, bathed in the red sunlight of the rising sun, was a man with longer hair then hers, a dark tanned face, and a smirk on his features.
He cracked his knuckles, his smirk turning deadly.
"Ahhh how great it feels to stand again." He turned to Kagome fully now. "And how I wish for a bit of blood on my hands."
Kagome pushed herself backwards on her hands and swallowed audibly, trying to moisten her dry throat. Her heart was thumping madly in her ears and she could hear her blood rushing extra fast to full her head with a scared flush.
'I-I thought he was good,' Kagome thought franticly, 'Oh kami-sama, please help me!'
