Disclaimer: Me no own Inuyasha. If I did, he'd never say wench again.

Chapter four: Running away.

'I'm bored. I finished reading that darn book and my ceiling got boring half an hour ago.' "Akita! You stupid half breed! Finish the bathroom! Now!" 'Damn step-mother. I wish I could get away.' My eyes widened. 'Running away. That's it! I'll run away... I don't know where I'll go... but at least it won't be here!' I came downstairs as my 'mother' was about to go out the door.

'Can't let her see me ...' I thought as I hid against the wall. When I heard the car start and leave the driveway, I left my corner and looked out the window. I saw her turn the corner and thought, 'I'll just have to go the other way. Simple enough... but where will I stop?' I shrugged my shoulders and ran out, before my brother saw me.

I had been running for almost an hour before I stopped. What I saw was enchanting. It might not have been for an average person who pretty much saw trees on a daily basis, but to me it was heaven. I was looking at a beautiful house, and at the side, there were trees. I started smelling my surroundings. A middle aged woman, an old man, a young boy, and a cat. I smelt again. I knew I was missing something. There was a young girl at the back of the house. I looked at the trees.

'I can hide behind those trees.' I thought.

I went over to the trees. When I was covered by the branches, I went to the back of the house.

'There's a shrine here... I wonder what it's for.' I hit my head. 'I'm really dense.' The girl was walking towards the shrine carrying a huge yellow backpack. 'I wonder what she would need a backpack that big to get into the shrine for?' This was getting more interesting by the second. At least for me it was. I was gazing into space when I heard something hit the ground. I focused my eyes, and I saw a shiny piece of rock.

'I think it's called a jewel. Oh well, it's hers, I should give it back.'

'You're hiding in trees!' A little voice in my head reminded me.

I looked to were the girl had been last and couldn't find her.

'Where'd she go?' I thought. Just as soon as I thought that I heard rustling, then a drop. My eyes widened. I picked up the jewel, and ran into the shrine, only to see the girl disappear into a well.

'What the hell is going on?' I sat and thought for a minute.

'If I go in after her, I can see if she's alright, give her back her rock, help her out, and then leave.'

'But what if she's dead?' The little voice in my head chorused. 'Because if she's dead and they find her, they might think someone killed her. And if you followed her, than it would be your footprints, and so they'd think it was you.'

'Never thought about it that way... wait, you're my little voice, so yes I did.' I shrugged my shoulders. 'Well you stupid annoying voice, if she is alive and hurt, and I don't go down there, she'll die, and I'll have to live with a guilty conscience. And that is not something I want to do.'

My decision made, I jumped down the well.

Cirrus: yes I know. It's short and now you won't like me for it. But I have this story pretty much planned out, so there will be a new chapter very soon.

Inuyasha: Ya right.

Cirrus: Don't make me get Kagome.

Inuyasha: ...

Cirrus: good boy. Don't forget to R&R! And forget the 'I want a certain amount of reviews... it doesn't work. =-=
