After about 15 minutes, Kagome woke up. She didn't remember anything, and couldn't remember why she was in the well.
'And why is it so dark in here?' she thought.
Then suddenly, she remembered the past events. Inuyasha's confessions, the snake demon, and falling into the well with Inuyasha.
What the helll was that force?
Speaking of the hanyou, where was he?
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha!" she was getting desprate now. How were they going to get out of the well with an injured hanyou with bleeding wounds?
Then, Kagome heard someone moaning in pain. It sounded like Inuyasha, and she started to feel her way towards him. When Kagome felt something soft, she knew that was the hanyou.
"Inuyasha? Are you ok?" Kagome asked, though she already knew the answer.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha replied in a weak voice. He was in pain, having reopened his wounds, and that invisible force had knocked him out.
"Inuyasha I'm right here next to you. I'm guessing that someone's here, the well is covered. Maybe it's one of Souta's friends." Kagome said.
"Could you move?"
Inuyasha weakly tried to get up but was in too much pain to do so. He fell back to the ground and started panting heavily.
"I guess that's a no. Wait here, Im going to try and push off the cover." Kagome said and started to climb the steps to get to the top of the well.
With a hard push, Kagome slid off the well cover and finally saw some light, though it wasn't much because it was dark out. She looked down and saw that Inuyasha's clothes were again soaked with blood.
"How am I going to get you out of here?" Kagome said.
'Maybe I could get mom and gramps to help? Yeah that could work!' she thought.
"Inuyasha wait here, Im going to go get some help!"
She saw him barely nodd and Kagome bounded out of the well, to go get some help.
...Inside the Higurashi Residence...
Mrs. Higurashi, Aya, was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Gramps, Seshiro, was in the living room reading the newspaper while Souta was upstairs wih his girlfriend, Hitomi.
Everything was joyful until Kagome barged in the house, panting from running so fast.
"Kagome dear, what's wrong?" Mrs. Higurashi asked seeing that Kagome had a desperate expression on her face.
"Inu...Inuyasha...is in the...well, he needs help, quick!" Kagome said, taking deep breaths to settle her breathing.
"What happened to him!" asked Mrs. Higurashi getting worried.
"I'll explain later, we need to get Inuyasha out of the well now!" Kagome said and ran out the door, followed by Mrs. Higurashi and gramps.
Once they arrived to the well house, gramps took a flash light and pointed it down the well. He saw a very bloody and battered Inuyasha, who seemed in pain.
"He cant move at all." Kagome said.
"Well then we'll have to help him get out. Seshiro keep pointing the flash light, come on Kagome we have to help him get out." Aya said and started to get in the well.
"If I go back into the well, I'll get transported to the past." Kagome protested.
"Take the chance." her mother replied, already trying to help Inuyasha up.
He was leaning on her, but doing his best to keep from falling. Kagome then came down, to her surprise she didn't get transported, and grabbed on to Inuyasha's other arm, The two women quided him to the steps and helped him climb, making sure he didn't fall backwards.
Gramps, with his other hand, pulled Inuyasha up and finally, the hanyou was out of the well and they helped him to the house.
"Hurry, bring him to your room Kagome, Souta is with Hitomi in his room." Mrs. Higurashi said.
Kagome nodded and she helped Inuyasha go up the stairs into her room.
Once in the room, Kagome put Inuyasha on her bed, who was itching to fall asleep. All that stressing pain could get you very tired.
"Inuyasha dont fall asleep, im going to go get some bandanges so that I could redress your wounds ok?" Kagome said and saw him incline his head slightly.
She left the room and went to the bathroom.
When Kagome got back, she saw that Inuyasha was almost asleep.
"Inuyasha wake up." Kagome said.
Inuyasha opened his eyes and saw that Kagome came back with a metal box. She started dressing his wounds, careful not to cause him so much pain. When she finished, Kagome took out two pills out of a bottle and got a glass of water too.
"Inuyasha, here drink this, it would help with the pain." Kagome said.
"What is this?" Inuyasha asked sniffing the pills.
"Just drink it." Kagome commanded. Inuyasha sighed and drank the pills. It had a very weird taste but if it was going to help, he would take chances.
"Good now you could fall asleep. I'll be right here by your side."
"Thanks Kagome." Inuyasha said and instantly fell asleep.
Kagome blinked a couple of times but shrugged it off. She was tired herself, so she decided to get some rest. Getting onto the bed with the hanyou, Kagome rubbed his ears a little before falling asleep.
An hour later, Mrs. Higurashi came into the room to check on the two. She saw them fast asleep, curled up next to eachother, and wondered if they had already confessed their love.
'Finally, grand children!' Aya thought picturing her dog eared grand children running around.
She smiled and tucked in the couple, kissing them both on the forehead, before leaving the room and turning off the light.
...Before the Fight In the Feudal Era...
Miroku and Sango wanted so baddly to go and spy on the two. Not like Shippo didn't want to go either. But something was telling them that something was going to happen and it would be bad.
"Do you think we should check on them?" asked Sango getting worried by this feeling.
"It might be for the best." Miroku replied and the two tiredly got up and went to investigate.
"Im coming too!" Shippo exclaimed and ran after the two retreating figures.
When the three got to where the well was, most likely where Kagome would have gone, there was no sight of the hanyou or the miko anywhere. Instead. the carcass of the snake demon was there. Sango went over to the dead demon and examined it.
"This carcass is fresh. Probably killed five minutes earlier." Sango said.
"Did Kagome and Inuyasha go to the modern era?" asked Shippo looking down the well. He noticed a slight dent in the well but shrugged it off.
"Perhaps." Miroku replied.
But something bright caught his attention. It was like a pink pearl...wait could that be...
"Oh no." Miroku gasped. Sango and Shippo, concerned, went over to the monk who was on his knees on the ground, staring at something shining.
"What is it Miroku?" Sango asked growing very concerned. He picked up the round object and showed it to tge others to see. What they saw made their eyes well up with tears.
"The Shikon Jewel." Shippo choked out.
"They're stuck in Kagome's era with no way of coming back. The well has sealed itself, now that Kagome and Inuyasha's mission was over in the past." Miroku explained his suspiscions.
"What do you mean by in the past?' Sango asked trying to keep her composure.
"They have another mission in the future to complete. Otherwise, Inuyasha wouldn't be there. Think of it this way, it's more of a coincidence that this youkai came right after Kagome was going to leave. It's more than a coincidence that Inuyasha and Kagome somehow fell in the well, is it not?" Miroku explained.
The other two nodded, Shippo crying heavily.
"So I'll never see Kagome or Inuyasha again?" Shippo excalimed in between sobs.
"You'll...see them again Shippo...you just have to wait 500 years." Sango said, her voice cracking.
'Yeah but not us.' she thought glancing at the calm monk staring at the Jewel with hatred.
It had ruined the lives of many.
No one could live in peace with it.
And it had taken their friends away.
Kagome...the glue that holds them all together and the always positive miko who cheers anyone up...
Inuyasha...the arrogant hanyou who was always confident and a great protector...yet brought light to the group just as much as Kagome...
They'll be missed greatly.
"No no no no no and NO! Why did they have to go! I dont care about no damn mission! She was my mother and he was my...father! I...I..cant live without them!" Shippo totally broke down now and was crying full force.
The kit was making Sango cry now. She had lost what was like a little sister and a big brother to her. Another part of her family, or pack. She promised herself that she would protect them always, protect them all, and here they were, mourning because they had lost them. This was not happening.
Miroku was the only one keeping his calm. But in the inside, he was weeping himself. Inuyasha...damn the two were best friends! The talked about their problems about women together, helped eachother in battle, laughed together, and even once they got drunk together! And he was gone! Just like that! And he'll never see them again! Why was this happening!
"Let's go back to the hut. It'll rain soon." Miroku said and helped Sango up from the ground. He picked up the crying kit and they all, saddly, went back to the hut, the Jewel, damn Jewel, carelessly put away.
...The Next Morning: Regular Era...
Inuyasha awoke feeling much better that morning. He didn't feel as much pain as before and he could move now. He looked to his right and saw that Kagome was snuggled up next to him. Carefully, Inuyasha started to brush the single strands away from her beautiful face. To him ,she was a goddess of beauty.
Kagome, sensing the soft touches of her hanyou, opened her chocolate brown eyes to meet beautiful golden ones. The eyes that she would look forward to seeing in the morning. She was glad that what happened yesterday was not a dream.
"Godd morning Inuyasha, feel better?" Kagome asked now playing with his long silver locks.
"Morning, I feel fine, and this time I mean it." Inuyasha smiled. Kagome smiled back and she continued to do what she was doing.
"I smell breakfast and Im pretty hungry. A week without eating, damn I could eat a truck load of food just about now." Inuyasha sighed. He did not want to get up, this felt way too good. And right... but his stomach said otherwise.
Kagome giggled and sighed. She didn't want to get up either, but the stomach! It was dying for some food!
"Come on Inuyasha let's get up, I could use some food. And please take a bath!" Kagome said and got up.
"Why!" Inuyasha whined.
"Your full of dirt and blood! And you need some clean clothes. Please Inuyasha, do it for me?" Kagome begged with the puppy dog face.
Inuyasha grunted and gave in.
"Fine but I want something in return." he said, a mischievious glint in his eyes.
Kagome caught on to what he was saying and smiled devishly.
"You'll have to take a bath first and then get the reward." she replied and left the room to the bathroom. Inuyasha grinned and waited until she finsihed.
Finally, Kagome entered the room only wearing a towel, knwoing full well that the hanyou was still in there. She did it on purpose...
Inuyasha looked up and immediatley turned away and blushed. No need to get sat...
"Im all done you could go now. Your clothes are in the bathroom and so is the towel. And please dry your hair unlike last time." Kagome said.
That memory was horrible.
"Feh." Inuyasha simply replied and went to the bathroom.
30 minutes later, Inuyasha came into the room fully clothed and with his hair damp. But he seemed to have had a hard time judging by the look on his face.
He glared at Kagome and sat on the bed, awaiting his reward. He did all that hard stuff, damn pants, and now wanted to get what he had worked for. Kagome looked up from the book she was reading to see her annoyed hanyou on the bed, waiting.
"I see you followed instructions, and deserve a reward." Kagome said.
Now she took the time to notice then hanyou's clothing. It might just be her father's but it looked good on him! Red polo shirt that showed the outlines of his perfect chest and regular jeans! Whoah, imagine him in teen clothing...damn Kagome was gawking!
"Are you just gonna sit there gawking and or are you going to give me my reward?" Inuyasha asked annoyed but blushing. It was Kagome but the way she was staring at him made him uncomfortable.
Kagome snapped out of her stupor and went over to the hanyou. She sat on his lap and started rubbing his ears first.
"Oh Inuyasha, calm down. You look great." Kagome said. She heard him purring and move his head so that she could have better access.
Then she moved on and and planted a chaste kiss on his lips. It was like a feather touch but if felt good! She never knew Inuyasha's lips would be so warm and moist, not cold and wet like most guys. It felt good to kiss him, she wanted to do it again.
Inuyasha also thought the same thing. And this time, he gave her one of his hungry kisses. It was full of his love for her and his passion. He begged for entrance, and Kagome took no time to waste. They had a tongue war that didn't last long because Inuyasha was the dominant. The long kiss was over to soon because they both needed to breathe. Deciding that they'll do this later, they both stood and walked downstairs, hand in hand, to eat some breakfast.
Hope Mrs. Higurashi made enough food...
