Chapter 2: Down the Well and Through the Worlds
(By the well)
"Where is she? She was supposed to be here already." Shippo said sadly.
"I'm sure she'll show up soon, Shippo. Don't fret." Replied Miroku from beside the young fox demon.
"She'd BETTER show up soon," Inuyasha growled. "Or she'll get it when she finally DOES show up!"
"Quit your howling Inuyasha." Sango said. "You know as well as the rest of us that you wouldn't hurt a hair on Kagome's head. And even if you tried, all she would have to do is say the 's' word and you wouldn't be a problem to her for awhile."
"SHUTUP!" Inuyasha screamed.
"I see you guys missed me." Said a voice from inside the well they were all sitting on.
Kagome climbed out and shook her hair out of her eyes. "I missed you too, Inuyasha." She said mockingly.
"Why you…" he muttered.
"Well, should we get going?" Miroku asked. "We might as well start looking for jewel shards."
"Do you sense anything Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, ready for a battle to blow off steam.
"It's faint, but I definitely sense one in…that direction." she said, pointing towards the trees.
"Then let's go." Sango replied, also wanting to blow off steam for something a certain perverted monk did earlier to some village girls.
(In a canyon located somewhere else)
"I HAVE to stop and rest." Kagome said breathlessly after hours of walking. They had only stopped once for a quick lunch break, and after Inuyasha happily "helped" everyone finish their meals, they were off again.
"Feh, what a weakling." Inuyasha said.
Kagome closed her eyes in anger and hollered the one word which always made Inuyasha be a little nicer for at least another day.
"SIT!"
Immediately, the half demon was forced into the ground face-first. Pulling himself up slowly while he spat out dirt, he glared at Kagome, but didn't dare do anything to upset her again.
"Do you have anything else to say, Inyasha!" Kagome asked loudly.
"Do you have anything else to say, Inuyasha?" he mimicked under his breath.
"WHAT WAS THAT!"
"Nothing! Nothing!"
"Let's just rest for awhile." Sango said quickly.
"Yes, I quite agree. Just calm down." Miroku agreed.
"Fine. But he started it." Kagome said, while she pouted like a three year old.
After resting for about an hour, Kagome decided she had rested long enough. They all got up and proceeded deeper into the canyon.
(Two hours later)
"Are we there yet?" Inuyasha whined.
"Almost." Kagome said. "We've made a lot of progress since you asked FIVE SECONDS AGO!"
"WILL YOU QUIT YELLING AT ME!" Inuyasha retaliated.
"WHY DON'T YOU QUIT YELLING AT ME, HUH!"
"YOU YELLED AT ME FIRST!"
"They seem to be getting along the same as they always do." Sango said to Miroku under her breath.
"I agree. But they do have a very strange way of showing their 'feelings' for one another." Miroku replied.
"WHAT 'FEELINGS'!" Inuyasha shouted, turning to Miroku.
"I just meant that you…uh…"
"YEAH!" Inuyasha screamed.
"Inuyasha, quit your howling!" Kagome said.
"WHY YOU…"
"It's coming at US. At an incredible speed." Kagome said. "Someone, or something, has the shard."
"Well," Inuyasha said, his mood already changed. "It wouldn't be any fun if the shard wasn't already being held. Let's hope whatever's holding it puts up a good fight!"
"It's…underneath us." Kagome said.
"Undernea…" Sango began, but was cut off as the ground beneath them was suddenly shot into the air by a gigantic demon. Once they landed safely, everyone turned around, expecting to see something ferocious, ugly, and deadly. But none of them expected to see…
"…A…worm demon?" Inuyasha said quietly, with a strong note disbelief.
"At least I got the ugly part right." Kagome said, trying not to open her mouth too much in case she puked.
"This will be too easy!" Inuyasha said, jumping into the air. "WIND SCAR!"
"Inuyasha! Wait!" Kagome screamed, but it was too late.
The blast of wind from his sword sliced the worm demon's "head" off easily. But as soon as the "head" and "body" hit the ground, they started to wiggle.
"Inuyasha you idiot!" Kagome screeched at him. "When you cut a worm in half, it makes two!"
"Just tell me where the jewel shard is and then shutup!" he snarled back.
"In the end you chopped off!" Kagome answered, not sure if it was the head or not.
"Got it!" Inuyasha said as he stabbed his sword, Tetsusaiga, into the tip of the demon's "head". A small, glowing, purple shard popped out of the demon.
"That was too easy." Inuyasha said triumphantly.
(Back at the well)
"YOU'RE GOING BACK HOME ALREADY!" Inuyasha screamed.
"YES! NOW THAT YOU GOT DEMON SLIME ALL OVER ME, I NEED SOAP AND SHAMPOO!"
"There you are Master Miroku!" said a voice from beside the well.
"Hachi?" Miroku said questionably. "What are you doing here? Just let her go, Inuyasha." He added. "She'll be right back, won't you Kagome?"
"That's right. I'm just gonna take a shower over there and then come right back. I promise." Kagome said pleadingly.
Inuyasha looked into her eyes. They were so beautiful. SHE was so beautiful. He SHOULD let her go. But she just came back. He didn't want her to go already. He had to miss her for three days in a row again.
(What am I thinking?) Inuyasha said to himself. (Pull yourself together, man!)
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said worriedly. "Are you okay? You look sad for some reason."
"Why would I be sad!" Inuyasha asked loudly and quickly. "It's more time alone. O.k. You can go. Just hurry back."
"Wait! I have an idea!" Kagome said suddenly.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"Why don't you all come to my time with me for today?" she asked happily. "After I take a shower, I can show you all how to take one, and then we could go shopping and find you some clothes, and then we could all get a milkshake! It'll be fun, I promise!"
"I think it's a good idea!" Miroku said. "Kagome's time has a lot of good food, and this milkshake sounds delicious to me."
"You just wanna 'learn' how to take a shower by watching Kagome and Sango like you always do when they bathe. But I still wanna go!" Shippo said, jumping onto Kagome's shoulder. "Let's go!"
"I guess I'll go too." Sango said.
"Hmph." Inuyasha said. "I guess since everyone else is going…"
"Yes, let's go!" said a tiny dot on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Myoga? Is that you?" Kagome asked. Her face suddenly fell. "Let me guess, you want to 'sample' the blood of everyone and everything in my time, don't you?"
"OF COURSE NOT!" he answered angrily. "HAVEN'T I EARNED…"
"NO!" everyone answered, knowing the question he was about to ask.
"Oh no." Inuyasha suddenly moaned.
"What is it, Inuyasha?" Shippo asked curiously.
Inuyasha simply pointed behind himself with his thumb. Everyone turned around and saw a large, gray, and familiar tornado coming towards them at an incredible speed.
"It's Koga!" Shippo said loudly.
"Kagome!" Koga said as the tornado around him disappeared. "I thought I smelt your beautiful scent."
Kagome blushed and made the face she always made when Koga complimented her ( . ). "Aw. Thanks. Hey!" she said suddenly, remembering what she had invited everyone to do earlier. "Do you wanna come with us to my time?"
"Of…course…I….do!" Koga stuttered, excited that Kagome was inviting him to her time.
(Maybe she really DOES like me!) he thought to himself.
(Maybe she really DOES like him.) Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Well then, let's go!" Kagome said, grabbing Inuyasha's and Koga's hands and jumping down the well with Shippo still on her shoulder.
"Wait for us!" shouted Miroku as he jumped in too, pulling Hachi in by his tail because he had tried to escape.
"Kilala! Hurry!" Sango hollered as she jumped in, closely followed by her pet.
The familiar blue light surrounded Kagome and her friends. Kagome reassured them that it was supposed to do that, but then something that wasn't supposed to happen did. The light turned purple.
"Something's wrong!" She said to the others. "It's not supposed to be purple!"
"This had better not be a joke, Kagome!" Inuyasha said. "Because I'm not laughing!"
"DON'T SPEAK TO KAGOME LIKE THAT YOU MUTT!" Koga spat. "I THINK SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S…"
But the rest of his words were lost when they all fell onto a hard floor and lost consciousness.
