It wasn't even two hours before they stood before the well. InuYasha looked into her eyes, and all of the things he thought he'd say no longer seemed to apply. it was different. Wrong somehow. Kagome gave him a hug and looked into his eyes. She leaned forwards, looking for a kiss, maybe a reason to stay,but he stepped back and once again hung his head. "I'm sorry. I can't. Kagome was confused for a second before remembering the cloth. White. One look at InuYasha told her she was right. "You've given yourself to Kikyou."

"I had to! You're leaving! I cant be alone for 500 years!" Now Kagome was completely heart broken. She turned away from him and asked "How long have you two been...together?"

"About one moon cycle." Kagome was furious! How could he! After all she had done, he did this! Instead of the tears just streaming down her face, this time her eyes were completely blocked by them. She ran forward, and tripped, her foot hitting a rock and sending her down the well head first. InuYasha looked behind him and she was gone. He wiped a single tear from his cheek before turning back towards the village. "Goodbye Kagome."

She awoke hours later, the full moon high above the well. Wait, there was a roof over the well in her time. She was lying at the bottom of the well, and she wasn't sure why she wasn't in her own time. She reached for her neck to find her necklace with the shikon no tama missing. She looked above her and found it nearly halfway up the well. She went to stand, and heard a crack and a rush of pain as she fell back to the ground. Her leg was broken. A faint cry escaped her lip as she tried to pull herself up the rungs of the well's ladder by her arms alone, and she realised quickly she'd not be able to make it. Maybe if she yelled InuYasha (The treacherous bastard) Would hear her, but as she lifted her head to yell she once again noticed the full moon. He wouldn't be able to hear her from the top, let alone in town. She looked in her backpack to see if she had any rations left, but there were none. She shuddered and found her sleeping bag. It was difficult to open and get into without her legs, but she was finally able to complete this task and lie down. She'd sleep here tonight. Either she'd awake and be able to yell for help in the morning, or the Youkai would eat her while she slept. Suddenly she realised there was no preference, and she realised how similar she was with Miroku. He was probably dead by now. Her eyes started to tingle as she finally closed her eyes, and it was a long time and many tears before she finally drifted off to sleep.

Morning came way too quickly, and her leg was now in excruciating pain. "Help! Please! InuYasha! Kaede! Anyone! please help me!"

It was about noon and Kagome's voice had given out on her hours ago. She now sat quietly at the bottom of the well, throwing rocks to try and free her necklace. After a while she realised there was a voice near the top of the well. She tried to yell, but the pain in her throat stopped that quickly. She threw a rock at the top of the well,and heard someone come quickly towards the well. There was a little girl, and at least one other person, but she couldn't hear who with all of the echoing. She prayed it was some of the local villagers, but that was shattered the instant she saw a face. Sesshoumaru.

"You're the one called Kagome, correct?" Kagome nodded, and held her hand to her throat hoping he could see that far. He jumped over the side, and landed silently next to her. "Where's InuYasha?" Kagome held her head down and began to sob again. she held her hands to her eyes and he seemed to get the point. He looked around for a moment and saw her necklace hanging from the root above, and her backpack lying next to her, her legs still wrapped in the sleeping bag. He looked puzzled. "Can't you stand?" Kagome shook her head and pulled the sleeping bag off. It was a compound fracture, and the bone was sticking out of her leg about halfway above her knee. Sesshoumaru nodded and lifted her effortlessly from the ground, her backpack over his shoulder and her sleeping bag rewrapped around her legs. She noticed he grabbed the jewel on his way up. he landed at the top and the jolt sent her into what would have been screaming fits. Finally the pains took over and her world fell dark yet again.

She awoke sometime in the early morning, the pain in her leg subsided and her throat only scratchy. The little girl was asleep next to her, and Jaken was standing guard at the door. he was obviously furious at her and stormed out of the room the instant she showed signs of being awake. Sesshoumaru walked in a few moments later, Jaken at his side.

"Your leg has been set, and you've been given licorice tea to help with your throat. Tell me, why were you at the bottom of that well?"

"That's my home..." She uttered, not even thinking. He narrowed his eyes in disgust. "A miko living at the bottom of a well?"

"No! I-I know this is going to be hard to believe but the well is a portal. I live on the other side of the well." His face fell stoic for a moment before he continued. "Why was there no one with you?"

"The jewel is completed. There are only three shards missing, and they'll stay that way till the wearers die. Sango, Kohaku and Shippo returned home, Miroku decided to die and InuYasha..." Her eyes filled yet again, and Sesshoumaru nodded politely, finally stepping completely into the room. He came to the side of the bed and continued. "None of them saw you off?"

"InuYasha was in a hurry to return to his wife..." Kagome said, the bitterness in her voice surprising Sesshoumaru. "His wife?"

"Kikyou." Once again he nodded. "I understand. Until you are able to return, this is your home as well as mine. Rin will keep you well." he said nodding towards the sleeping girl. "I've business to attend. Jaken, keep watch till Rin wakens." and with that he was gone. Jaken looked longingly towards his master, then turned towards her. "Is there anything you require?" Kagome thought a moment than shook her head, her throat feeling the wear from the discussion. Jaken turned away from her and she lay back down, sleep claiming her quickly.
