Musume no Shorai – Chapter 4

"Kagome..." Mrs. Higurashi thought for a moment. "What about... the well?"

Kagome's eyes widened in realization. Mrs. Higurashi watched her daughter carefully...

"Kagome!" But it was to late, at top speed Kagome ran out the door to the well house.

"The seal!" Kagome gasped, if she needed any more proof it was Sachi telling Kagome herself. She turned, went into the prayer room; grabbing the Shikon no Tama, and ran back into the well house.

"Kagome wait!" But her mother's plea faded behind her as Kagome jumped with no hesitation into the well, grasping the Jewel tightly. Kagome felt her feet fall back onto the firmness of the well bottom, but she knew it was no longer the shines well.

"He's going to be okay... right?" Kagome looked up, that sounded like Sachi's voice...

"He'll live." Came a blunt reply, Kagome's eyes widened again, she knew to whom the voice belonged, Inuyasha.

"It's getting late.." Sachi stated, Kagome listened, silently.

"You should go back, I'm sure you mother's worried about you."

"She's probably mad at me. I don't want to go back."

"You have to." Was this really Inuyasha, or an alien...

"... can you come back with me?"

"Why?"

"I wasn't supposed to be near the well house, let a lone in it. But.. I wanted to see what was so special about it."

"Hm... No."

"Alright." Kagome felt some guilt. She started to climb up, when she heard Inuyasha say...

"But..."

"You could stay here..."

"Are you series? You are the coolest dad ever!" Kagome turned red with anger, and climbed the rest of the way to the top of the well.

"Inuyasha, sit!" The dog demon fell to the ground with a loud and painful thud. Sachi looked down at him and blinked.

Sachi looked back over to the well, where the voice had appeared.

"Mom?!" Sachi asked, blinking in surprise at her mother, who had pulled herself up and looked over at them, an unset expression on her face. Inuyasha pushed himself up painfully.

"Kagome?!"

"Inuyasha..." Kagome growled, shaking, glaring at him.

"Um... mom, let me explain..." Sachi began, but Kagome looked about ready to kill.

"Sit!" Kagome yelled out of anger and frustration. "Sit! Sit! Sit!"

Inuyasha fell to the ground again, and then some with the multiple sit's Kagome had shouted. And for good measure...

"Siiiiiiiiiiit!!" The extended word made Inuyasha fall even harder to the ground. Sachi watched as her mother took many deep breaths, trying to regain her self-control.

"Mom?" Sachi asked, Kagome looked at her, still shaking with fury.

"Sachi..." Kagome breathed, running over to her daughter and giving her a hug. "I'm so glad you're alright."

Inuyasha let out a groan, once again pushing himself up out of the dirt, some of which still clung to his face.

"Kag-"

"Sit." Kagome said, her eye twitching, and Inuyasha once again fell to the ground.

"Mom, could you try not to do that?" Sachi asked. Kagome sent Inuyasha, whose face was still eating dirt, a dirty look.

"I'll try..." Sachi sighed, better than nothing, right? Inuyasha grumbled, standing up and rubbing his sore head.

Sachi noticed how Kagome kept sending Inuyasha deadly looks.

"Um... Did something happen?" The both looked at her with questioning expressions. "Way back then, is that why you two are having a problem getting along?"

Inuyasha looked to Kagome, who sent him another glare or two.

"You could say that.." Kagome said dully. For no apparent reason, Miroku, who had been left knocked out in the bushes near by, sat up straight.

"Oh, hello Kagome!"

"Miroku, are you alright?" Kagome asked, noticing the large bump, er, bumps on the monk's head.

"I'm fine!" Miroku said. "But I must be going!" And with that, he hobbled off into the forest towards the village.

"Does he always do that?" Sachi asked, watching him disappear.

"Not when I was here last..." Kagome stated, then looked at Inuyasha. "Did you start hitting him and Shippo more when I left?"

"Nah." Inuyasha said, shrugging. "I have been hitting Shippo a lot though, since I can't throw him into a tree anymore."

Inuyasha just couldn't stop himself, Sachi watched as her mother's expression changed and...

"Sit!" Thud, right to the ground, face first.

"Can I do that?" Sachi asked.
