Chapter 7

Alright, faithful readers. It's time for the 7th chapter, and it should be a good one. A new enemy will appear to interrupt our heroes, and Inuyasha and friends will once again try to figure out a way to get through the well. Are you ready for some action? Tonyf

"Wow." Inuyara said. He and Saroko had finally broken their kiss (they need to breathe, after all), and they were both a little exhausted. "Wow, indeed." Saroko said with a smile. "Well, it's late. We should go back by the well and get some sleep." Inuyara told her. "Yeah, I guess so. We could use a little rest, couldn't we?" Saroko replied, still unable to wipe the smile off of her face. They walked back together, and when Saroko grabbed Inuyara's hand, he didn't resist her. They walked back hand-in-hand, and they couldn't have been any happier. "I wasn't sure if Saroko and I would fit together, but this just feels right." Inuyara thought to himself. After awhile, they reached the well. Inuyara and Saroko both grabbed a blanket (Saroko thought ahead - she brought a lot of supplies - smart girl... Tonyf) and layed down (Seperately - they aren't ready for THAT yet, so get your mind out of the gutter...Tonyf) next to their oblivious friends.

( Morning...)

Inuyara was the first to wake up, and he was not well rested. The poor boy couldn't stop thinking about Saroko, and it kept him from getting much sleep. "Damn, I need a cold shower." Inuyara thought to himself. There are no showers in the Feudal Era, though, so he went with the next best thing... he jumped in the lake. "That's better." He thought. Inuyara wasn't known for his common sense, though, because he left the Tetsuiga back by the well (You're in an era of demons and danger, and you go off alone without your sword? Tsk, tsk, Inuyara... Tonyf). He swam around, unaware of the danger closing in on him. Before he knew what was happening, a large shadow came towards him from behind, and it was closing in fast....

( Meanwhile, in modern times...)

"Okay, I just don't get it. Why could Inuyara and Saroko go through the well, but we can't? Don't you think that if anyone should be able to get through, we should?" Kagome asked her husband as they sat up in bed. She was beginning to become more than a little frustrated (understandably) with the situation. "I would think so. There has to be a reason for this, though. We'll figure it out, Kagome. Don't worry." Inuyasha said, trying to calm her down. "I'll call Sango and Miroku. I'll tell them to meet us at the well in an hour." Kagome said, jumping out of bed. "Whatever." Inuyasha said as he began to get dressed.

"We need to think of something quick. How much longer do you think they can last in the Feudal Era? You know how dangerous it is, Inuyasha!" Sango said to Inuyasha as they sat by the well. "Yeah, I know that. We aren't exactly rocket scientists, Sango. I don't see you coming up with any brilliant ideas!" Inuyasha replied sarcastically. "Shut up, Inuyasha! We're all in this together. We need to brainstorm and try to work as a cohesive unit!" Kagome said, slapping Inuyasha on the back of his head. She looked around at the faces of her friends, and they were all staring at her cluessly. "What's wrong?" She asked. "What in the hell did you just say? I lost you at 'brainstorm' and 'cohesive'." Miroku asked. "Oops, I forgot. They're from the Feudal Era! They don't know what those words mean." Kagome thought to herself. Just then, an idea popped into her head. "Hold on a minute, guys. I just got an idea! I'll be right back!" Kagome yelled, running off towards her house. "Alright then." Inuyasha said quietly, still confused from her previous comments.

( Back in the Feudal Era...)

The shadow crept up from behind the unsuspecting Inuyara, and before he knew it, something had grabbed his leg. "Ack! What the hell..." Inuyara yelled as he was pulled underwater. He looked at the 'grabber' and realized that it was a demon. "Let me go, bastard!" Inuyara yelled, forgetting that he was underwater. The water rushed into his lungs, choking him. If he didn't get out fast, he was going to drown! Inuyara tried to break the demon's grip, but it was too strong. "Damn. I finally show Saroko how I feel, and now I'm going to die in the god-forsaken era before we can...." Inuyara's thoughts were interrupted when a large boomerang sliced through the demon's tentacle. He was able to swim to the surface, and he gasped desperately for air. "S..Saroko?" Inuyara said weakly. "Yeah, it's me. I thought you might get yourself in trouble, so I followed you." She said with a smile. The demon wasn't finished yet, though. It emerged from the water, and both Inuyara and Saroko gasped at the massive size of the beast. "What the hell are you?" Inuyara asked, mouth still agape. "I am after the jewel! I know you have it, because I can smell it. Hand it over to me, and I'll kill you both quickly." The demon growled. "J..Jewel?" Inuyara sputtered, completely shocked.

Jewel? JEWEL? What jewel? Is this demon crazy, or does Inuyara have something we didn't know about.... Find out next chapter! (I love leaving you hanging, in case you haven't noticed) Please review!!!!! Tonyf
