Chapter 2: Lured By The Well Girl


I was relieved to leave the locker room without Kagome noticing that she was missing a few shards. I headed home, noticing the dead silence which followed me. A dog barked hysterically as I passed by. Maybe the dog could tell I was a thief.
Kagome walked past me, as I had intended, and I followed her. She didn't notice me because of the other masses of girls walking home as well. Today, Kagome would be disappearing for seven days, and I was going to find out why.
After walking for about half an hour, I saw that Kagome entered a house. It was the Higurashi residence. Her home was simple, except for the temples and the well house. Cherry blossom trees surrounded her home and swayed quietly in the wind. The sound of a door shutting came to my ears. Kagome walked out of her home with a massive backpack upon her shoulders. 'Where was she going?' I bit my bottom lip and adjusted my green school uniform skirt.
'Here we go, Hachi!', I told myself.
I watched Kagome enter the well house. I peeked around the corner of it's doorway long enough to see her jump into the well.
"Hey!", I yelled at her to stop. It was too late.
I walked over to the well and peered inside. Kagome wasn't there. 'How did she just disappear?'
"Kagome...?", I called into the well. No answer.
The tiny shards in my pocket began to feel warm. I reached my hand into my skirt pocket and felt the tiny shards warm my hand. I took a deep breath and jumped into the well.
I didn't feel myself hit the ground at the bottom. Instead, I began to float. I opened my eyes and saw that I was surrounded by a blue aura. It didn't hurt me, but it made me afraid. Afraid of the unknown.
