Tears and Blood
Chapter Six: It's All My Fault
By: Moonlight Jade
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Souta sat at the bottom of the well for a moment before he could process everything that had happened. When he looked up he didn't see the ceiling of the well house, instead he saw a deep blue sky. He gripped at the stone walls of the well and climbed out. When he looked around him the scenery was completely different from what he was used to.
Instead of just the God tree, many different types of trees surrounded the clearing the well stood in. Souta saw a small village in the distance and assumed that Inuyasha would be there. He ran as fast as his small legs would carry him through the woods. Tears stung at his face as he worried about Kagome. What would happen if he couldn't find Inuyasha? Or if they were too late?
Souta forced himself to run faster, he had to be able to help her. After all, she had put herself in danger in order to protect him. The trees in the forest were becoming thinner and farther apart and he could now see the village a small distance away. His lungs were aching from the effort but he couldn't stop, he could only make his legs move faster.
He was in the village in no time. He stopped a lady wearing peculiar clothes and asked if she knew where he could find Inuyasha. She nodded her head.
"He is in Lady Kaede's home," she informed him as though that should make perfect sense to him. His face turned a light red.
"I don't know where that is," he told her as he lowered his head. He was getting strange looks from passing villagers and was starting to feel nervous.
"I'll take you there," she said with a smile as she took hold of his hand and led him to Lady Kaede's hut.
"Thank you," he said quietly as he was led away. As soon as they were in front of a rather large hut, the lady gave Souta's hand a reassuring squeeze before releasing it and turning to walk away. Souta moved forward and pushed through the material that took place of a door. An enticing aroma filled his nostrils as he walked in. He saw four people and two small animals sitting around a fire. A girl and a guy, about Kagome's age, looked up at him.
Someone with long silver hair and dog ears atop his head turned around in time to see someone running to him. Souta threw his arms around him and cried into his haori.
"Inuyasha-sama," he cried the given nickname into his clothing. Inuyasha looked surprised but hugged the child in return.
"Um... did I miss something?" Miroku asked as he stared at the unusual image before him.
"This is Souta," Inuyasha replied, "Kagome's little brother." He couldn't help but notice how much he smelled like her.
"How did you get here?" Inuyasha asked suddenly. Souta pulled the sacred jewel out from under his shirt.
"Inuyasha, you have to help Kagome!" Souta nearly yelled as fresh tears fell down his cheeks.
"What's wrong with Kagome?" Shippo interrupted.
"It's...dad..." Souta replied, "Kagome threw me down the well so he couldn't hurt me, but I think he had already hurt her. I know from experience that she wont defend herself against him... she never could hit dad..."
"Stay here, give me the sacred jewel and I'll be able to bring her back," Inuyasha told him as he stood up. Souta nodded and handed the chain holding the sacred jewel to Inuyasha. He nodded in response and ran out the door in the direction of the well. Sango wrapped her arms around Souta in a protective hug.
He's just like Kohaku... she thought to herself with a smile.
"It's all my fault," Souta mumbled as he gave into the warmth of the hug and fell asleep.

So what do you all think? I don't have the next chapter written yet but I'm working on it as fast as I can. I've sort of lost my sudden inspiration but I'll get it back. Maybe if I force myself to write a little I'll get back into the swing of things. Well please review Moonlight Jade
