Secrets in the Well

Part One: Kohana

The Monk and the Dog

Corrie fell for what seemed like eternity. When am I going to hit the bottom? She wondered. Suddenly her fall seemed to strangely slow. She landed on her stomach with a soft thud. Odd. She thought.

When Corrie looked up, she saw that the top of the well was a lot closer than she had originally thought.

I couldn't have fallen that short distance in the amount of time I was falling. Corrie was still pondering her strange fall when she heard a voice that wasn't Naomi's.

"Hey, I smell something!" A voice said. A tall figure jumped into the well and stood in front of Corrie. Corrie huddled against the wall in fear.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Corrie! Corrie!" Naomi called for the quadrillionth time. Still no answer. "Well!" Naomi huffed. "If that's the way you're going to be then…" Naomi thought for a moment. "Then I'll just have to come down there and get you!" Naomi shuffled to the edge of the well. "You owe me big time for this Corrie." She whispered. Then jumped into the well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shadowed figure stood still in front of Corrie. Its bright amber eyes staring down at her. She could see a silver shine in his hair and white canine ears poking out of his silver hair on top of his head.

"Well I'm not in Kansas anymore." Corrie breathed.

"Who are you?" A male voice demanded. "Where did yoh…" The male was cut off as he slammed into the hard packed earth.

Corrie squinted her eyes to get a better look at the figure on top of the boy.

The figure looked at her. "Corrie!"

Corrie raised an eyebrow. "Naomi?"

The girl nodded her head vigorously. "Yep. It's me."

"Inuyasha are you okay?" A male voice yelled. Corrie and Naomi looked up to see yet another male looking down at them. Inuyasha lay twitching under Naomi.

He growled. This Inuyasha character stood up quickly knocking Naomi off his back. He stared angrily at her. Naomi's face suddenly brightened.

"Ears!" She cried. She grabbed Inuyasha's ears. Twink, Twink

"Ahh!" Inuyasha yelled. He grabbed Naomi and threw her out of the well. Then he turned and looked at Corrie.

She waved cautiously at Inuyasha. "Umm…hi?"

"When I'm done with you you're not going to be able to feel a single bone in your body!" Inuyasha threatened. Corrie sat cowering on the floor.

Just then, they heard a scream. slap "Pervert!" Inuyasha sighed. He grabbed Corrie around the waist and jumped out of the well.

Corrie blinked into the sun. When she regained her eyesight, she saw Naomi with her hands on her hips glowering down at a fairly cute male dressed in purple attire. He was rubbing a red spot on his cheek.

Upon seeing Corrie, he quickly put his charm back on.

"You dim-witted monk!" Inuyasha yelled. "What the hell was that?" The monk looked at Inuyasha ashamed. Corrie stared at the monk. Naomi gasped.

"Ears!" She ran to Inuyasha and jumped on his back twink, twink

"Ahh!" The monk smiled. Corrie tilted her head as she looked at the monk. "Miroku, get her off, get her off!" Inuyasha was trying to shake Naomi off but to no avail. Miroku stood up. He walked over to them and started laughing. Corrie smiled then stood up. It was not until then that she saw Miroku's staff. Her eyes grew to the size of saucers.

"Hey monk! She's got your staff." Miroku turned around. He saw Corrie handling the staff curiously. He looked back to Inuyasha.

"It's not everyday a girl is curious about your staff." He walked over to Corrie.

"It's not everyday you have a pathetic wench hanging from your ears." Inuyasha growled painfully.

"You wanna say that to my face?" Naomi yelled. She pulled harder.

"Ahh!" He yelled. He was finally able to shake Naomi off. They heard a commotion and looked out into the field.

"Give it back!" Miroku was chasing Corrie around the field. Miroku looked mad but it was quite obvious he was enjoying it. Corrie skidded to a stop and turned around. Miroku was unable to stop himself and ran into Corrie. He fell on top of her. They rolled around fighting over Miroku's staff.

"Sickening." Inuyasha said.

"I agree." Naomi put in.

"Nobody asked you!" Yelled Inuyasha.

"I asked me!" Naomi yelled back. Corrie and Miroku stopped fighting and sat up. Miroku clasped Corrie's hands in his.

"Corrie," he started. "Will you bear m..." Miroku was cut off when a large mud ball hit him in the face.

"Shut it monk!" Inuyasha yelled wiping off his hands. Corrie started laughing and stood up. Naomi laughed.

"You looked so dumb!" She exclaimed. Miroku wiped the dirt off his face. His eyes grew wide at the nice view he had. He smiled.

"Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Stupid wench." Naomi stared at him.

"You wanna say that again?" She challenged. Inuyasha crossed his arms. Not wanting to be left out Miroku stood up.

"Bicker, bicker, fight fwah!" Corrie's eyes shot open in shock. Something or rather someone had groped her butt. Corrie slowly turned her head to look at Miroku. The monk started whistling. Corrie looked at the staff lying near her feet. She picked it up. Fuming she hit him over the head with it.

"Ah!" He yowled in pain. He rubbed his head. His cries eventually subdued to mire whines.

Inuyasha and Naomi started to laugh. "Nice going monk!" Inuyasha laughed. Corrie tossed the staff aside.

"Oh! I am so sorry!" She apologized.

"That's a first." Inuyasha observed. Miroku stood up.

"Hug!" Corrie exclaimed sweetly. She wrapped her arms around Miroku's torso. Bewildered he hugged her. His hand began to travel down, down, down…

"Ah!" Slap Miroku rubbed his red cheek.

"Don't press your luck."
