Authors Note: Hello readers! How ya doing? I am so sorry about the long delay. I wasn't getting many reviews so I just decided to quit. Although leaving the story unfinished made me feel guilty because I've read so many unfinished fanfics and wanted to scream at the authors for leaving it like that. I'm putting up this chapter but I won't continue the story unless I get some more reviews so if you like this story then don't count on others to review it cause if everyone does that then I'll think nobody's reading!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha but I do own Saru and Asano and all the kids.

Chapter Six

Saru woke up with an excruciating headache. She looked around and her first thought was that she had gone blind, everything was pitch black. She moved forward with her hand groping out in the darkness and she hit, stone? Her hand brushed across smooth damp stone. Saru stood up using the wall to brace against and walked in the opposite direction. She had only taken a step and a half when she hit something soft and stumbled to the ground. "Ow!" Oh no, there was something in here with her! Wherever here was. She strained her eyes to try and see something, anything but it was no use, there was absolutely no light so it was impossible to see. She gulped, "W-who's there?" She heard a very familiar sounding groan, "Saru? Is that you?" Whew! It was just Asano, "Saru, where are we? Why's it so dark?"

Koroshi sighed as he walked out of the noisy hut. It was so hard being the oldest of six kids, everyone was always asking you for something. He decided he needed some time to himself to think so he strolled toward the forest. It was a beautiful day, the sunlight came through the tree tops staining the ground with speckles of light. He fingered the prayer beads around his wrist thinking about the story his father had told him. His father Miroku always wore prayer beads around his wrist as a reminder of the wind tunnel they once covered. When Koroshi was small, he always used to play with his fathers prayer beads so Miroku gave him some of his own which he wore just like his father. Many times he had heard of the evil and powerful demon Naraku which Miroku fought against along with his mother, his cousin Shippo and two others, Kagome and Inuyasha who Koroshi had never met. There had been a great battle against a horde of demons not long after he was born. Kagome and Inuyasha followed the demons down a magic well with their daughter Saru and never returned. No one knew what had happened to them and when the old priestess Kaede tried to reach them through the well, her spell was stopped. She had told them that could only have happened if the well were destroyed on the other side. Kaede decided to seal off the well so no evil could ever find a way to pass through. Koroshi had been thinking and not watching where he was going until he arrived in a clearing. The grass was a soft green and would have reminded Koroshi of a carpet if he had known what that was. His eyes ran along the blanket of green to rest on a giant tree. He stared with wonder at the arrows that were embedded in the massive trunk. He had heard that the half demon Inuyasha had been sealed to a tree for fifty years before being woken by Kagome. "This must be the place were he was sealed. It has to be." Koroshi had the talent for feeling spiritual energy just like his father and he could sense the remnants of a strong sealing spell with enormous power behind it. He looked around knowing that if the tree was here then the well couldn't be far away. He made his way through a thicket of bushes and came out in another clearing. This one had a wooden well in the center. The boards of the well were old and stained but looked very sturdy as it they could hold for another thousand years. The top of the well was covered with newer boards that were topped with sealing charms. Koroshi walked over to get a closer look when he heard voices. He looked around wondering if one of his siblings had followed him when he realized the voices were coming from inside the well.

"Saru, I can't see!" Asano complained. "Well neither can I so don't look at me for help!" she retorted. Asano whined, "How could I?! I just said I can't see!" Saru was starting to get mad, "If you don't... what's that? Did you hear something?" "No, just you yelling at me!" he shouted. Saru shushed him and strained her ears. It was very faint but she could here the sound of footsteps. Suddenly the footsteps stopped and whoever it was, Saru could tell by the scent that they were very close.

Koroshi listened intently at the arguing coming from the well when it seemed that they were aware he was there. He heard a young girl shout up out of the well, "Hello? Is someone there? If someone's there, can you please help us?" Koroshi took a step towards the well, "W-Who's down there?" He heard a sigh of relief from inside, "Someone is there!" That time it was the voice of a little boy speaking. This didn't make sense, the well was sealed so there was no way someone could have gotten inside. Either he was hearing things or there really were people down there. He could take off the sealing charms and open the well but if there was no one there then he would just get in big trouble with his father, not to mention it would prove he was loosing it. Then again, what if someone really was trapped down there? He decided to trust the fact that he wasn't going crazy and removed the charm. After that he found a large stick and began prying off the boards.

Saru and Asano stood there in the darkness when one of the boards was pried off and sunlight streamed into the well. After a few more were removed they were able to climb out. Saru turned to see a boy perhaps a year or so younger than her staring at them in horror and fascination. Saru was equally fascinated though not horrified. This boy was wearing clothes that looked like they had come right out of a middle ages painting!

Koroshi stepped back and whipped out a charm for repelling demons, "Stay away demons!" Saru stepped forward, "Please, we won't hurt you. We just need some help and..." Saru had finally gotten a good look at her surroundings and was scared to see that their house and the entire shrine was gone! "...It seems we're lost as well." Koroshi didn't back down, he wouldn't be fooled by demon tricks but then the girl stepped forward and introduced herself. "My name's Saru, and this is my little brother Asano."

The hand that held the charm dropped as did Koroshi's jaw. "Did you say Saru? Are you Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter?" Saru looked at Koroshi in confusion, "How do you know my mom and dad?" Koroshi smiled, "So you are that Saru!" Koroshi had a million questions running through his head as did Saru and Asano. Koroshi spoke first, "Uh, you said you needed help right? Well you can come with me to the village, we should be able to find help there." Saru and Asano silently followed Koroshi through the forest. Questions were buzzing about Saru's head, 'Where are we? Why is this kid dressed so weird? What does he mean village? There haven't be villages around for a long time! And just how does he know my parents?!'
