Getting the Curse Once Again

-Chapter 5-

A New Time

Everything was black...what exactly happened? Inuyasha can't see anything at all, is he in a different place? He couldn't move his body. Where is everybody else? Kagome, Sango, Shippo and Miroku? Where did they run off to? But the question is if they did run off somewhere, where are they? Was it all just a dream?

Inuyasha started hear something faint, footsteps maybe? No...Someone is talking. It's so faint that his dog ears can't pick it up. He tried to listen deep into the people who are talking. But, as he got closer, he started to hear a little more clearly. "Do you think.....up?" What were the other parts it said? Then, his hand started to come around, moving a little to clench up his fist, then seeing a bright light coming at him. But...something was blocking the light, he can tell he was looking at the sun, but two objects were blocking it. He opened his eyes more, his vision getting a little better by the second, then seeing Sango and Shippo staring down at him.

"What the..." was all Inuyasha said. He sat up slowly and carefully, putting his head on his forehead because he just woke up with a headache. When he had his senses back, he looked around and noticed something. They weren't in the well house anymore, all there was was a well, and trees surrounding them. "Where are we?"

"We don't know," Sango answered him.

"Then where's Kagome?"

"She's fine, Inuyasha." Said Miroku, but he sounded like he's a little farther away. Inuyasha turned to his side and saw Miroku sitting next to Kagome, who was lying on her back, just before Inuyasha could say anything to Miroku, he saw a pink light burst out in front of Miroku, and then it faded. Miroku sighed and stood up slowly and walking to where Inuyasha is and kneeled down in front of him. "I just finish putting the Shikon no Tama back in her body. She'll come around in a few hours, so don't worry."

"Where are we?" Inuyasha asked again.

"I already told you, we don't know!" Sango said angrily.

"Where's Myoga!?"

"Right here....Inuyasha-sama!"

"Where?" Inuyasha felt like he was sitting on something, he felt something struggling on his butt, when he stood up and kneeled down at the spot he was sitting, he realized he squished Myoga. "Oops..."

"Yeah right!" When Myoga was unflattened, he stood straight up and crossed all four of his arms, focusing on something.

"Myoga, do you know where we are?"

"I might have a guess..."

"Then tell us!" Commanded Shippo.

"I'm afraid to say that we're in a different time period, Feudal Era Japan..."

"Five hundred years in the past?" Miroku was amazed.

"Yes, the Shikon no Tama...it took us all five hundred years in the past."

"Including Naraku and the others?" Shippo asked curiously.

"Precisely! But they must've appeared somewhere else. I saw all of us burst out of the well, I landed on the ground first, and then Inuyasha's bottom landed on me-!"

"SHUT UP!!! Don't talk about my BUTT in front of ME!!" Inuyasha shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Anyway, here's what happened: Kagome was putting some of her miko powers inside the Shikon no Tama, in fact, the Shikon no Tama was commanding her to insert her miko powers in the jewel."

"Commanding her?" Shippo was confused, he scratched his head to try and get what was going on.

"The Shikon no Tama was controlling her, that's why it was calling her, as Miroku said earlier."

"But...wasn't it supposed to revive Bankotsu's brothers?" Asked Sango.

"Maybe...Maybe the only way to revive them was to go back in time. Because...Bankotsu and his brothers died in this time."

"You mean..." Inuyasha was started to get it.

"Yes, Bankotsu never knew the Shikon no Tama was going to go back five hundred years in the past. But...it seems to me that Bankotsu only wants to revive his brothers and keep the Shikon no Tama for himself and his brothers, not to give to Naraku. So we must all protect Kagome no matter what! But...there's another thing."

"What is it?" They all asked.

"Bankotsu might have to kidnap Kagome in order for him to use the Shikon no Tama. He will have to use Kagome, because she's the only one who can use it."

"But...I used it last year against Naraku!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"It could be that it's because it's Kagome's soul. It probably works with the ones she cares about." Myoga sighed and crossed his legs and sat down.

"So....now what?" Inuyasha asked.

"Why are you asking me? You guys are the ones stuck here!"

"Don't forget Myoga, you're stuck here too..." said Sango.

"And you better not run away from any battles..." Inuyasha said evilly.

Myoga flinched and stepped back a little. Myoga was sweating, getting scared by the look on Inuyasha's face, with the evil smirk he has on his face, knowing that he is going to get smashed. Should he run away or stay and be flattened by Inuyasha's hand? ( I would run the hell away from him!) Myoga took another step back, and then realized, Inuyasha's hand was reaching out to him. He squeaked and turned around quickly to run, but...Inuyasha's fingernails (or claws) caught the end of his shirt, Inuyasha lift him up to his level, and squished him in his hand.

"Now, now Myoga...don't even think about leaving us behind. If you do...I'll use a rock to squish you instead, maybe a boulder, a large and heavy boulder..." Inuyasha's smirk became bigger; it was scaring the rest of them.

Inuyasha felt Myoga struggling in his hand, trying to break free. "A-Alright! I'll stay!" He squirmed.

"That's more like it." Inuyasha's smirk fell to a frown.

"Can you let me go now?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry Myoga." He let open his hand and saw Myoga hopped off his hand and on Kirara's head.

Miroku first looked at Myoga, who was huffing and puffing, and then at Inuyasha. He was still frowning; something must've ruined his excitement. Was he suddenly tired? Inuyasha hardly ever gets tired!

"Inuyasha?" Miroku called to him.

"Hm?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Just thinking...plus...that time travel thing took the strength out of me..." He rubbed his eyes and looked over at Kagome, who was sleeping peacefully on the ground. 'I'll protect you, Kagome...why do you have to be in danger? If something happens to you, I'll never forgive myself.'

Inuyasha yawned, so tired, he doesn't feel like getting up. Just let him sit or lie on the grass and fall asleep.

"We should go find shelter," said Miroku.

"What....?" Inuyasha said, all wide awake now.

"It's going to be dark soon, Inuyasha. We need to find shelter, and at least find something to eat in this time." Inuyasha glared at him. "What? It's not my fault we're here."

"Maybe it is, Houshi..."

"Now why would you say that, Inu..." Miroku stared angrily at him.

"Because! You're a Houshi! Like a Miko!!"

"Inuyasha!"

"What!?"

"Are you saying this is Kagome-sama's fault!?"

"Maybe! Maybe not! I could be blaming both of you! Because of you guys being a houshi/miko!"

"So you are blaming her! There is no reason to blame her!"

"You want to get in a fight, Houshi!?"

"Maybe I do!"

"Alright, new father!" Inuyasha rolled up the sleeve of his kimono. "I'll beat you anytime, anywhere, Houshi! I'll beat the hell out of you that you won't survive it!!"

"Bring it on, Inu!!"

"Guys, stop it!" Said Shippo as he jumped in between them. Sango joined him.

"That's right, there's no reason to fight. If our minds explode, you guys may never get along and probably will beat each other until we get back to our own time. So stop bickering and make up!" Sango commanded them to.

Inuyasha was growling out loudly, making the birds to fly away from the trees that surrounded them. Inuyasha rolled his sleeve down and stood up straight, he folded his arms over his chest, turning his head to the sky. Miroku turned his back to Inuyasha, ignoring the fact they're in an argument and won't let it go.

Inuyasha's ears perked up, hearing movement. He looked at Kagome, and noticed that she only rolled over to her side to sleep on to get more comfortable. He frowned...being worried again. Also feeling guilty that he just blamed Kagome not too long ago about going through time. So guilty...he hates it.

Kagome's eyes were open, it was the reason she rolled over on her side, and she didn't want to let Inuyasha know she's awake. The start of them fighting is what she heard and then woke up...hearing that Inuyasha was blaming her for all of this. It hurt her...hearing those words from him hurt her a lot. She didn't mean to do anything...was it her fault? Kagome's eyes started to heat up, feeling that tears were going to roll down her side, dropping off her cheek to land on the grass. How this always happens? Something weird happens, then Inuyasha does something to hurt her, then she cries privately...quietly to herself. Not letting Inuyasha know he hurt her.

She loves him...but question is...does he love her?

(Somewhere in Feudal Japan)

"Dammit!" Bankotsu swinged his sword, Banryuu, at the trees, cutting them in half and making them fall to the ground. Making the earth shake as the trees slam against the earth. Bankotsu stabbed the ground with Banryuu. "The Shikon no Tama wasn't supposed to do that!"

The mirror that contains Kanna and Naraku floated to Bankotsu's side. "Fortunately, it was supposed to do that. You just didn't now that," Naraku explained to him.

Bankotsu clenched up his teeth, and then with rage, he took Banryuu out from the ground and swings his sword to his side, trying to slice the mirror up. But the mirror floated up into the air, avoiding Bankotsu's attack. "You should've told me that, Naraku! I would've been a lot more prepared then I was before! This is your entire fault, Naraku!!"

The mirror floated back down in front of Bankotsu. "You never asked, Bankotsu. Have you ever heard the term ask and you shall receive?"

"Shut up! I didn't have to say anything! You were supposed to give me the information that was supposed to be given in the first place!"

"True, but I do not have to reveal every information given to you at once. I can just give them to you whenever it is needed to be given, Bankotsu."

"Why couldn't you have told me in the first place!?"

"Well, now you know. You want to be given information now?"

"Yes, I would like to use it."

"You would need to capture a miko, Kagome."

"The girl who has the Shikon no Tama as a soul?"

"Precisely...You need to make her use the Shikon no Tama, make a threat to her...she's weak, and she can't really do anything."

"And then?"

"Take her to the grave...take her to the death place where your brothers died."

"Too easy."

"Don't think so, Inuyasha and the others will keep a close eye on her now that they know you'll be after her."

"I'll figure out a way to get her alone."

"Then do so. Pretty soon, I'll emerge from this mirror, and so will Kanna, expect to see us in a couple of days." The mirror floated in the air again, disappearing in the high trees.

"That is...if I do see you Naraku. With my brothers destroying you..." Bankotsu put a smirk on his face, and then he started to laugh. Laughing at the thought him and his brothers destroying all life in the present. Destroying life is good to them.
