The Missing Well of Time

As Kagome reached the end of the path to the well, she screamed.

*Where is the well! * She thought. She looked around. It was nowhere to be seen. * How can I get home without the well? *.

Inuyasha and Miroku ran towards the well. They were prepared to fight. Inuyasha had his hand on Tetsuaiga and Miroku was gripping his staff.

When they reached the end of the path they expected a youkai or demon but there was just Kagome.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Miroku asked. Kagome pointed to where the well was supposed to be. It wasn't there. Inuyasha and Miroku looked around. They had just noticed that the well was gone.

"Its gone" Kagome said in a shaky voice. "Well, it can't have gone far" he said jokingly. "OSWARI!" Kagome shouted. "This isn't funny! I can't get home without the well! ".

Sango and Shippou heard a scream. It was Kagome's. They ran towards the well. "Sango, do you think Kagome is alright?" Shippou asked as they were running. "I don't know Shippou" Sango said.

* Kagome sounded scared in that scream * Sango thought. She started getting worried. "Shippou, hop on my shoulder" she told the kitsune "We will go faster this way". Shippou did as she told.

"Kagome, why don't we go to Kaede? She might know what happened." Miroku said.

"Ok, I guess your right Miroku." Kagome said * There is no use getting too upset before I know what happened * Kagome thought.

All of a sudden the group saw Sango and Shippou come out of the forest.

"What happened Kagome?" Sango asked. "The well's not here" Kagome explained. Sango and Shippou looked shocked.

"Does this mean that you are going to stay with us for longer?" Shippou asked. "Yes, I am Shippou." Kagome replied.

"YAY!" he shouted. He gave Kagome a big hug.

Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was unusually quiet.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" She asked. All Inuyasha replied with was a "Feh". "Well?" she asked again. "It's nothing wrench so leave me alone!" he shouted.

"Oh, Inuyasha! Get over it! ARRG!" Kagome shouted as she stomped off to see Kaede.

* Dammit.... She was upset and I was a jerk.... * Inuyasha thought. Sango, Miroku, and Shippou had already started off following Kagome but Inuyasha trailed behind them. He was in deep thought about the well.

~``~Authors note- I don't think I can do Kaede's character well so it might be a little OOC ~``~

Kaede was pouring tea when the group arrived. "Hello everyone" she said "What is the matter".

Kagome stepped forward. "When I got off the path to the well it wasn't there!" she said. Kaede sat down to think.

"There is a legend about that well that few know." Kaede said "Long before you came here and set Inuyasha free, there was a Lord who camped in the area near the well. The villagers offered for him to stay in the village but he always declined. He said that there was an aurora around the well that he wanted to find out more of. For days he went in and out of the well studying it.

When he finally did go to the village he asked if he could take apart the well. When we declined he went into a rampage. He threatened that he would take it in the future and that this world would be doomed. We thought he had just gone mad when he left we watched the well just in case. Legend has it that he was able to take a piece from the well and cursed it, and that when he returns that great doom will come of this world like he said.".

"But what does that have to do with the well missing and how did the well hole fill up?" Kagome asked.

"He may have returned and took the rest of the well and is planning evil. And he might have put a temporary curse on the well to fill it." Kaede said.

It was then that Miroku spoke up. "Where does this Lord come from?" he asked.

"He comes from Northern lands and his name is Lord Naztica." Kaede answered "Ye, should go there to seek the well. Lady Kagome cannot go home without the well.".

The group decided to leave the next morning.
