-Chapter 2-

----->Down the Well Again, Just Can't Wait to Get Down the Well Again!-----

After my accident, my mom and little brother Sota once again helped me up. My mom helped drag my backpack to the well and Sota carried the wrapped item.

"Mom," I started, "thanks for helping me." I smiled and right before I jumped down into the well, I heard my little brothers' voice.

"What about me? Don't I get any credit?" Sota whined.

I smiled and looked at him with a gentle and kind face. "Thank you," I giggled in between each word, "for helping me...too."

In unison, Sota and my mom waved goodbye and said as I jumped into the well, "You're Welcome, Kagome!" As I jumped, a small opening appeared and I slipped through that opening with no problem. I disappeared into the well, not to be seen until the next time I was home. I went back through time to the Sengoku Jidai. As I appeared in the well, I looked up to see InuYasha, Kirara, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all peering into the well, staring straight at me.

Now, Kagome is in the Sengoku Jidai...

"WHAT?" I asked, yelling at them.. "What are you all staring at...and why?" I wondered as was looking up at all five (5) of them. They backed off from the well until they saw me appear, then disappear. "UGHHHHH!" I moaned andasked, "Will somebody come help me? I have this damn thing that's too heavy for me to lift!" Then, Miroku appeared looking down at me again.

"Allow me, Lady-Kagome." He said with a lecherous smile. He jumped down, almost falling onto me. "Let me take care of this." He pointed upwards and said, "You go back up there, I wouldn't want someone as beautiful as you are to get hurt." I slapped him accross the face and climbed my way out of the well. "Damn woman." Miroku mumbled to himself.

"Kagome!" Shippo cried as he pointed to my knee. "Are you alright? Your knee is bandaged up!" He had a shocked look on his face, then he began to creep up to my knee looking at it in all angles.

"I'm fine, Shippo." I said as I looked at him confused, yet disturbed.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" I glared at him and he went from 'acting as if he were an adult'to 'nervous, and afraid that I might hurt him.' Then, he said,

"Okay, but...don't you be lying to me!" While he was saying this, a golden mist shrouded us for a quick moment, but no one, but me, noticed it

"I'm not ly---OW!" Shippo laughedas hepoked me in the kneethen, backed off as I moaned and ached of pain. "DON'T DO THAT!"

"Sorry Kagome!" He said with an evil grin.

"Hey Kagome, nice ta see ya!" said InuYasha all happy-go-lucky.

"I-I-Inu-Y-yasha? A-are you o-kay?" I asked, pretty much scared to death.

"Yeah, I'm fine, so what're you rambling on about!" He said in his original tone of voice. He gave a slight glare, but then, he went back to his cheerful mood!

"N-nothing...at all..." I said very nervously. I glared at Shippo, who was trying, once again, to touch the bandage. Then, he backed off. "We should get movin' now. I wanna get to the next village so we have a better place to stay, instead of sleeping in the woods..." As I talked, the others began walking ahead, all but InuYasha. "HEY!" I yelled at the ones up ahead. "Huh? InuYasha? You waited for me? Hmmm..."

"Yeah, so?"

"Uhhh...Let's go, now...don't wanna be left behind."

"Yeah." He said softly, looking deeply into my eyes. "Let us catch up." We agreed and walked up, slowly, to the others.

Oddly enough, as we walked on, his mood became more normal, unlike earlier. I noticed a slight change of facial expression. Was he becoming more grumpy than before, or was it because he's...well...InuYasha? I kept on worrying about him, so I tried thinking of something, more peaceful, like home. Then, again, if you are a Higurashi member, then, you aren't normal, nor pleasent!

It seemed as if InuYasha's demonic aura had risen a TON. More than his full demon stage! WOW! O.O

We kept walking next to each other. Each step we took was in unison. I was beginning to get a bit uneasy, and scared...hmmm...I just don't trust this scene, so, might as well just go on! Right? Though I know I can say 'Osuwari' but it's the fact that I don't want to! I just don't think it would be a good idea. That's all. Hmph!
