Kagome climbed up through the well, wearing her same school uniform, only
with short sleeves while dragging her over stuffed back pack along with
her.
"It's about time you came back." Inuyasha said, arms crossed as he stood tall and determined by the side of the well, then resulted to the soft guy look as he reached over to help Kagome and her bag out of the well.
"Well what do you expect? I had my exams to finish Inuyasha. And you should be thankful that I passed them and don't have to go to summer school!" Kagome replied, just a bit annoyed.
"Kagome!" Shippo cheered joyfully as he pounced on her shoulder.
Suddenly the world grew dark and dreary to kagome as an evil presence took all the good feeling out of her.
"Kagome, what is it?" Sango asked, walking up to her worried friend.
"I can sense an evil aura coming on, fast too!" Kagome replied, reaching for her arrows.
"Finally some demons! Kagome, do you sense any jewel shards?" Inuyasha asked cracking his knuckles and narrowing his eyes as he sniffed the air.
"No, but whatever is coming our way, It's coming from the woods over there!"
Sango got her boomerang ready, kagome aimed an arrow towards the woods, Miroku steadied his staff, and Inuyasha held his hand on his sheathe.
A few moments passed and everything was silent.
"Damn, this is taking to long!" Inuyasha growled, taking a few steps closer to the woods.
"Inuyasha be careful!" Kagome said, moving her aim so if she accidentally let go it wouldn't hit him.
The wind picked up and swayed the leaves and tall grass to one side, then stood completely still.
"What's going on?" Inuyasha yelled.
"It's too quiet." Kagome said softly, the things she was sensing going off the chart with all different feelings.
Then suddenly, someone came walking out of the woods.
Inuyasha was about to put an end to whatever it was, when kagome suddenly jumped in front of him, blocking his prey and crying out,
"Wait Inuyasha!"
Bewildered, Inuyasha stopped himself so only his claws softly caught at the hems of Kagome's skirt, and he fell backwards.
"Lady kagome get away!" Miroku called, starting to un-cover the clothe wrapped around his hand.
"No! Everyone stop it!" kagome shrieked, surprising everyone.
Sango gasped as she caught a glimpse of what kagome was protecting once it walked out into the sunshine.
It was a little girl with raven colored hair wearing a blue sun dress with orange flowers on it.
"Don't harm her, it's just a child. A little girl." Kagome said, turning and kneeling in front of the scared child.
After everyone was confirmed about it being a child and not a demon, and after the little girl was calmed down, they sat down to talk.
"Where did you come from?" Sango asked the little girl.
"I live in those woods with my grandma. But she is blind and can't help me with the harvest. I'm afraid that we'll starve to death because no one really comes through these woods." The little girl cried, bursting into tears, her little hands reaching up to wipe her eyes.
"It's alright, we'll help you plant the harvest." Kagome said gently as she as she stared into the little girl's eyes.
There was just something about the little girl that reminded her of herself when she was little.
kagome shrugged it off and looked up to her friend's for their approval.
"Ah kagome, do we have to?"
"We'd love to help you." Sango chimed in.
"What is your name?" Shippo asked, peering at the girl from Inuyasha's lap.
"Yori. You wait right here, I have to go and tell my grandma about my new friends!"
The little child cooed and ran off into the woods.
"Well....this is something that doesn't happen every day." Kagome said hopefully.
"Yeah, let's all be thankful."
"Inuyasha, SIT!"
"Hey! Whadda do that for huh?"
As the two went on arguing, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo scooted silently off a bit of ways.
"They always fight." Shippo said with a sigh.
"Oh it's not always fighting Shippo, it's sort of way to express their love to each other." Miroku replied.
"Sort of like how you are always grabbing sango's butt?" Shippo more said then asked.
"Uh, I didn't say that!" Miroku pleaded as Sango glared at him, her hand in position to slap.
"Wait, Hey! I didn't do anything." Miroku went on saying.
Then SLAP! Miroku was left with a red handprint on his face.
"That felt good." Sango said with a smile, and walked off a bit of ways.
Shippo looked curiously at Miroku, till Miroku responded. "It'll fade in a few hours....days maybe."
"It's about time you came back." Inuyasha said, arms crossed as he stood tall and determined by the side of the well, then resulted to the soft guy look as he reached over to help Kagome and her bag out of the well.
"Well what do you expect? I had my exams to finish Inuyasha. And you should be thankful that I passed them and don't have to go to summer school!" Kagome replied, just a bit annoyed.
