DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter Four: A Glimmer of Hope
"Well, Inuyasha," Kaede began. "There is a way that I have thought of, though I do not guarantee that it will work."
"Hurry up and tell me ya old hag!" Inuyasha yelled impatiently.
"If you don't calm down, then I won't continue," Kaede threatened.
Inuyasha grumbled, but sat back down.
"Now, I think that we can break the seal on the well, with the jewel shards," Kaede explained. "The shards allow Kagome to travel back and forth from her time and ours. Even though you have the shards on you, you can't break through the well, right Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha shook his head and his ears drooped at the reminder that the shards were with him, thus, Kagome would never be allowed to return to his time, even if she chose to.
"At that rate, what we have to do is quite simple, but it might not work," Kaede said. "She left her bag with us, did she not?"
Sango quickly brought the bag over to Kaede.
"Sango, see if you can find her hairbrush," Kaede ordered. Sango looked puzzled, but complied with Kaede's wishes.
"Ha, found it!" Sango announced. She handed the brush over to Kaede.
Kaede removed a strand of Kagome's hair and then turned to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I need a jewel shard," Kaede said.
Inuyasha quickly took the shards from his haori and handed one to Kaede. "You'd better hurry up, I want to finish this as soon as possible."
"Patience, child."
Kaede got up and retrieved an arrow. She placed the shard on the tip of the arrow and wrapped Kagome's strand of hair around the tip to hold that shard and the tip together. She took her bow and the arrow and motioned for Inuyasha and Sango to follow her.
Just as she stepped outside, two thuds were heard in a nearby bush.
"Quiet! He'll hear us!" Miroku whispered to Shippo.
Suddenly, Miroku and Shippo were grabbed by their collars and thrown into the light.
"Spying again, monk?" Inuyasha asked, his eyebrow raised.
"Uh, it was nothing Inuyasha, I just heard a sound nearby and thought it was someone attacking us," Miroku stuttered. He began to sweat when Inuyasha cracked his knuckles.
"Knock it out you two," Sango scolded them. "Inuyasha, don't you want to hurry and get over to the well?!"
That brought Inuyasha back to his senses and he quickly rushed over to the well.
"Now, Inuyasha, fire the arrow straight down into the well." Kaede ordered.
"Me?! Fire that arrow? You've got to be kidding!" Inuyasha yelled. "I've never used a bow and arrow in my life! I can use Tetsusaiga, but a bow? That's Kagome's expertise, why can't you fire the arrow?"
"Because you are connected to Kagome by the necklace that you wear," Kaede explained. "Besides, you should have the closest link to her and it would be easier for you to reach her."
"Come on Inuyasha, you're not afraid to let go of a small string are you?" Miroku teased.
"Shut up, monk!" Inuyasha yelled. "I ain't afraid to use a bow and arrow. Here, give me that!"
Inuyasha grabbed the bow and arrow from Kaede and stood on the edge of the well. He pulled back the string and shot the arrow directly down the well. A bright pink light burst from the well and threw him back. The light slowly faded and Inuyasha stood up.
"Inuyasha," Kaede started. "Try and jump through the well now."
Inuyasha didn't need to be told twice. He jumped into the well, praying that he would make it to the other side. This time, the well didn't throw him back out. It had finally worked.
He opened his eyes and climbed out of the well. It was morning by now and he hoped to catch Kagome before she went to this "school" thing of hers.
He jumped onto the tree outside Kagome's bedroom and peered inside. Kagome was sitting in front of her mirror, brushing her hair. He opened the window and climbed in.
"Kagome?"
Kagome was startled, she turned around and came face to face with Inuyasha. Her eyes opened wide, and she whispered, "Inuyasha...you came here."
