Furious Love
ch.1
InuYasha sat and waited by the well as he always did upon awaiting Kagome's promised time of return. He looked at the ground and watched a ladybug crawl from his big toe to his ankle. He sighed, the waiting both becoming boring and consumed irritation within him.
When is Kagome going to get back? he thought. An eyebrow twitched and he growled in his throat.
Finally he decided to go down the well and retrieve her himself. He jumped in. Going through the well he had a feeling of ill-ease throughout the trip and it worsened as he got to the other side. He shrugged it off as he always means to do but something was unsettling with him. Outside he could smell something most foul but heard dead silence about the shrine. He leapt out of the well and opened the shrine door. As he gazed out horror struck his face. The earth was red as was the sky as though blood had rained upon the world and the sky still held its stains. Everything was gone; only rubble, ash, and debris left in their memory. No wind even played part to the cruel lands, no clouds but those of blood and ash floated above the globe, and sound of voice from either human nor animal rung through InuYasha's sensitive ears. Lying on the ground in front of him were the remains of Kagome's mother and grandfather. They were dead and they looked like zombies only more decrepit, their flesh boiled and scarce with their clothing.
"What the-what the hell happened here?" He thought Hell was what might have had happened. There was a strange scent and presence in the air that was infecting and killing everything around him-infecting him. He didn't care. He ran through the temple grounds. In this world touched by Apocalypse a man from the past was the only survivor.
"Kagome!"
He came to her house; the scent of death was overwhelming. The only remains of her house was nothing but ash and frame as though it were ripped apart from the inside and the cause of it wanted to leave behind a memory of what it once was.
"Kagome! Answer me! Are you her?"
InuYasha was frantic as soon he uncovered a body tearing through the ash-covered rubble. It was the body of Sota. He was only identifiable by his size and the clothes he wore for his body was skeletal, save for some patches of muscle and flesh that clung to his otherwise bare bones.
"Sorry, kid."
He hoped he could find Kagome and not her body played out as Sota's. Then he caught her scent. It was faded and riddled with the surrounding scent of fire and poison but he caught it. He stood up and she was there-alive. But barely. She was standing in a daze, a mixture of horror and disbelief resided on her face. In her hands she clutched tightly to three shards of the Shikon Jewel.
"Kagome-"
He ran to her as she started to speak his name but fell befor her words could come out. He lifted her fragile and weak body in his arms and back down the well, leaving the newly risen Hell behind them.
