Chapter 1
Kagome heaved her heavy backpack to the rim of the well, shoving it over and listening as it hit the bottom with a satisfying clunk.
"Whew!" She fanned herself with her hand for a few moments. "It sure is hot! I can't wait to get back to the Feudal Era and escape this heat!" She pulled herself up onto the rim of the well and prepared to jump.
Here we go! She thought to herself as she leapt over the side.
The magic swirled up to catch her, slowing her decent as she plummeted deeper into the spiraling mass.
OOOOO
Where can that girl be? Inuyasha wondered with an impatient growl. She better not have gotten into any trouble!
He continued to pace beside the well, muttering quiet curses to himself.
"Would you mind giving me a hand?" Kagome's annoyed voice snapped through his thoughts. He looked up to see her struggling to lift her immense backpack out of the well.
"Feh." He walked over and snagged it, easily dragging it over the well's side and setting it on the grass.
"Well that's all very good for you..." Kagome pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't happen to have super-demon strength!"
Inuyasha ignored the jibe. "Where have you been?! It's nearly noon and we need to get moving! You should have been here-"
"Were you worried?" Kagome asked, sidling up to him with a sly smile on her face.
Inuyasha broke off backing away from her. "Don't start! We don't have time for your silly games!"
Kagome flashed him an innocent smile as she stooped to pick up her pack. "I have no idea what you mean..."
"You know very well-" Inuyasha was forced to break off yet again as a small voice interrupted him.
"KAGOME!" Kagome barely had time to shed the pack before Shippo barreled her, nearly bowling her over in his exuberance. He gave her a warm hug and grinned as Inuyasha contented himself with swearing angrily under his breath.
"Come on! Come on!" Shippo tugged Kagome's hand, dragging her in the direction of Kaede's hut.
"What's the rush?" Kagome asked trying, and failing, to hold Shippo back.
"What am I supposed to do with this?!" Inuyasha yelled at their retreating forms, indicating the pack with a clawed hand.
"Just bring it along!" Kagome called back.
Inuyasha grudgingly grabbed the pack and set off after them, angrily muttering about 'girls who expected more than they should' and 'expecting me to do everything'.
OOOOO
Author's Note: Short, I know. The next will be longer, I promise (not to mention more exciting). I just wanted to get my story out there for now. See how many people are interested... R&R please!
