Chapter 6 – Back Again

"What, what's happening?!"

Leiko found himself on the ground in the well. "Oh, right. I fell." Leiko got up and brushed the dirt off his clothes, then he looked up. "Hey! Stupid! Hey! You! Um…Higurashi?! Hey! You up there?!" Leiko held his head in his hands. "This couldn't be happening to me." Leiko, then again, proceeded to shouting again. "Higurashi! Hey! Stupid!"

"Miroku! Wake up!" Sango tugged at Miroku's hand.

Still half asleep near the big tree where they're protecting the bottled message, Miroku whined. "What is it, Sango?" Suddenly his hand feeling unnecessary parts.

Sango shrieked and then slapped him.

Miroku got up rubbing his cheek that now had a red outline. "You're the one who woke me."

"Miroku! Would you stop it!" Sango snickered back.

"Sango, shush! Do you hear that?"

"That's why I woke you!"

"Oh…Listen."

"Hey! You! Stupid! Hey!"

"It's coming from the Bone-Eater's well."

"Right, Sango. Let's go see what it is."

Sango and Miroku approached the well with their weapons high and ready to strike at any given moment.

Some villagers then approached them. "Lady Sango, Lord Miroku."

Then they all heard the strange noises again.

The villagers drew their weapons. "What is that?"

"It comes from the Bone-Eaters well." Sango replied.

"Lady Sango, let us go and deal with this matter."

"Of course." Miroku agreed on letting the villagers go and see what it was.

They turned back and walked back toward the tree on which the message was buried.

"You know, Sango, the voice sounds a bit familiar."

"You're right." Sango gasped. "It couldn't be Inu-Yasha, could it?!"

"Sango, do not forget, " Miroku's voice became soft and quiet, "Inu-Yasha is no longer with us in the living."

Sango closed her eyes. "You're right. I am truly sorry to bring such matters up."

The villagers closed in on the well.

"Hey! You! Stupid!"

The villagers looked down the well. "Who are you?"

Leiko looked up. "What?! Higurashi! Stop playing games and get me out of here!"

The villagers looked at one another with confusion. Then they came to one conclusion. "Demon!"

"What?! Hey!"

The villagers brought Leiko up the well and tied him.

"Go! Go and get Lady Sango and Lord Miroku!"

Some villagers nodded and took off, looking for Sango and Miroku as instructed.

"Lady Sango! Lord Miroku! We have found the demon!"

"It was a demon?!" Sango exclaimed.

"Do you need our assistance?" Miroku added.

"No. It is fine, Lord Miroku. We have captured the demon, but we want you to come have a look."

Sango and Miroku looked puzzled.

The villager, then again, spoke. "You must come Lady Sango and Lord Miroku. This is no ordinary demon. Methinks that the demon has taken the body of the now departed, Lord Inu-Yasha."

Miroku and Sango gasped. "Alright. Let us be on our way." They grabbed their things and headed toward the Bone-Eaters well.

When they reached the well, Sango and Miroku approached the mysterious 'demon'.

"Who are you?!" Leiko abruptly asked.

Sango went closer and looked him up and down. "Inu-Yasha?"

"What in the seven hells are you talking about?!" Leiko demanded.

"Lady Sango, do not be deceived by this demon."

Miroku turned to the villagers. "Go and get Priestess Kaede!"

"Yes, Lord Miroku!" And with that the villagers left for the village.

"Leiko!?" Kagome shouted down the well. "Leiko!? This isn't funny! I'm sorry, okay! Just, climb back up!" Kagome was beginning to panic. "Leiko?"

"So you're the demon, hmm?" Miroku kneeled down and faced Leiko.

"Demon?!" Leiko looked even more confused. "I'm not a demon! Would you people stop calling me that!?"

"His attitude is quite similar to a certain person I know." Miroku sighed and turned toward Sango.

Leiko started to mumble "Damn that Higurashi! Stupid Kagome!"

"Kagome?" Miroku questioned.

Sango turned around and grabbed Leiko by the collar. "Kagome?! How do you know of her?!"

"Sango!" Miroku held her back. "Wait for Lady Kaede."

With that, Sango got back up. "Please, forgive me."

"Ow! No use! I can't go through the well without the Shikon Jewel!" Kagome was getting worried.

Sango walked around restlessly.

"Calm down, Sango." Miroku said.

"I can't. Kaede is taking too long." Suddenly Sango felt a surge of power coming from within the well. "Could it be…the Shikon Jewel?!"

Miroku got up at Sango's sudden stop. "Sango?!"

"I-I felt the Shikon Jewel!"

Kagome started to pound and scratch the dirt ground of the well. "Let me through! Let me through!"

Just then, a spark of light burst out from the ground.

"What, what's going on?!"

Kagome was engulfed in light.

"A-a-a-aah!"

Sango gaped at the light coming from the bottom of the well. "M-Miroku! Come quick!"

The Shikon Jewel gleamed brightly and when the light settled down, Sango and Miroku ran to see what it was. They both looked down.

"K-Kagome?!"

Kagome looked up. "Sango! Miroku!"

As soon as Kagome reached the top, she saw Leiko staring right at her, frustrated and confused. "Leiko?!"

Sango and Miroku looked at her.

"Kagome? Do you know him?" Questioned Sango.

"Yeah! I do. Well, kind of. Anyways, while we're here, I need to ask Kaede something."

"Of course. Kaede's on her way here now." Miroku responded.

"Did you find the note, Kagome?" Sango just had to know.

"Oh! Sango, Miroku, that's right, what's the matter? Who's Shydedra?!" Kagome answered in panic.

"Kagome?! Welcome back, my dear child." Kaede said as she walked toward them.

"Kaede!" Kagome walked toward her with the Shikon Jewel in her hands.

Kaede walked slowly as Kagome went to greet her. Then she saw Leiko. "Could it be thy Inu-Yasha?!"

By then, Leiko couldn't take it anymore. "Who's this Inu-Yasha I keep hearing of?! I'm not this Inu-Yasha, okay?! -"

"Leiko!" Kagome shouted back.

"Well, at least untie me! Where am I anyway?!"

Kagome untied Leiko and then turned her attention toward Kaede. Kagome told Kaede all the events that happened in her present time about Leiko, with of course interruptions by a certain somebody. "Kaede, do you suppose that he's the reincarnation of Inu-Yasha?"

"I suppose that could be a possibility. But even so, let us hope that he is."

"What?!" Everyone questioned Kaede.

"I now know that the demon that battled against Shydedra years ago, was in fact Inu-Yasha's grandfather."

"Who?!" They all looked at Kaede, now filled with panic, confusion, and terror.
