"Inuyasha! The well's gone!"

"This is YOUR doing!" Inuyasha accused.

"WHAT?! Why would I lock YOU in the past ALONE with me-" Kagome was cut off abruptly.

":Ahem:! Lady Kagome - where are we?"

Inuyasha and Kagome stared blankly at Miroku, Sango, and Kirara, who were sitting [rather far apart for the ways of the perverted priest] in a corner of the well house. They hadn't noticed them before [they were kind of occupied with the problem of the missing well]. "But... You can't come through the well...." Kagome stuttered.

"We didn't... It just happened," replied Sango. "We were fighting a group of demons who were threatening to... well... destroy the well. We didn't know how, but we knew it couldn't have been good. But right as Miroku opened his Air Rip, we passed out... And now we're here."

"....Where's Shippo?!" Kagome cried.

Miroku looked depressed, while no one could see Sango's expression. "We don't know where he is. Let's hope he made it out alive.

************************

Kikyou stood, looking at the well. "He's gone.... He can't come back." She turned her solemn, blank look to the sky, her black hair swirling about her with the wind and grass.

Whoever did this, she didn't know. Naraku? No... she was almost completely certain he did not know about the well. She, obviously, didn't do it, and she didn't know of any other priest or miko who could've had enough power to seal the well.

Except for....

Kagome.

Kagome, who, like her self, was very in love with Inuyasha.

Kagome, who when presented with a life threatening situation, to either her, her friends, or Inuyasha, had unlimited access to her own miko powers.

Kagome, who would do anything for Inuyasha's complete devotion.

"She will pay.... I will wait as long as it takes for my revenge."

************************

Kagome looked at the group. Beside her, there was Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara. What was she going to do?

"Umm... well, I guess I should start telling you about my time then... We'll probably be stuck here for.... a while."

The well door slammed open - and Kagome's grandfather stood in the door.

[A/N: I really don't know much about her gpa, so I'm just gonna make stuff up]

"You!" He yelled, pointing a finger at the hanyou. "Demon be gone!" As he tried some crazy incantation to get rid of Inuyasha [who just stood there with a blank expression on his face].

"Excuse me sir, but -" Miroku started, but was interrupted.

"Ah! A nice young priest!" Kagome's grandfather exclaimed. "This is exactly the kind of man I've wanted you to take home for years, and your finally listening!" He started tearing up in joy. "When are you getting married?"

"WHAT?!" Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sango yelled.

"Yes, Kagome, when are we getting married?" Miroku asked, coming over and putting his hand around her shoulder [making sure to look innocent infront of the senile old man].

"We are not getting married!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha growled, Sango glared, and the old man just beamed and looked happy as he skipped out the door.

Miroku looked down at Kagome with a huge smile on his face [as his hand slid down towards her bottom...].

SLAP!

"I don't get this!" Yusuke yelled.

"Of course YOU don't! Only smart people like me would get something as compli - compli... what's that word again?" Kuwabara replied.

"Idiot." Of course Hiei had input on this subject.

"We just have to find out why the demon population keeps changing, and it would probably help to find the portal first," Kurama said, the only one to either act smart or talk in more than one word sentences.

"Well, yeah, but HOW?" Yusuke replied, staring up at the sky. They had been walking around in the woods for 3 hours now, and he was utterly bored. All previous motivation was totally gone.

"This sucks," Kuwabara said. "It's pointless."

"That's the smartest thing you've said all day," taunted Yusuke. All he really needed now was a good fight [even if it was only Kuwabara]...

"Calm down, you two. We won't get anything done if you keep bickering on like that," Kurama scolded, as a shadow fell over them.

The shadow was Botan.

"Oh - not you again!!!" Yusuke and Kuwabara yelled in unison. Kurama looked at her and smiled, hoping she had some more information that would help them on their "quest". Hiei merely looked indifferent, looking as if he was above such trivial matters, although he was also hoping she would help bring the boring mission to an end.

"Nice to see you too, boys," Botan beamed, talking in that ditzy way she usually does when she's NOT talking about missions...

"So? Do you have any information?" Kurama politely inquired.

"Yeah! Spit it out!" Yusuke demanded, a little less polite then Kurama.

"Well, we found where the portal is supposed to be - a shrine." Botan replied, now getting serious. "But there is something much different about the signal it was giving off an hour ago - we tracked it by a certain type of radar, you see," she explained,"and the demon population has increased by a landslide."

"So where is it?" Hiei didn't have time for details. He wanted to find the portal and get the mission over with.

"You guys are about... 4 miles off. Not bad. Come on, follow me." With that, Botan hopped on her oar and into the sky.

"There's a shrine around here?" Yusuke asked, stumped on the subject.

"Yes," Kurama answered. "It's owned by the Higurashi family."

So, what do you guys think? I hope it's gotten better - please, please, please, pretty please with sugar on top review! Well... Unless you have flames, cause that would totally scorch my self esteem... but it'd be awesome if you guys have comments on what you like or how I can improve. By the way, I know there are probably grammar problem things all over this story, but I really don't want to have to fix it, take it off the site, reload it, and then put it on a chapter thing again.... So sorry. But yeah. Next chapter, the IY gang and YYH team meet up... what else happens... I don't know.
