Forgotten
Chapter 3: Through the well
By Jordan Hartley
I do not own Inuyasha
Shippou looked around as the two flew through a world of blue light, it came from the boy, Shippou looked at him and saw that he had his eyes closed and was holding the blue jewel. It all stopped and they sat at the bottom of the well. Shippou said, "That was weird, lets get out of here." He grabbed the boy and started to climb out of the well. "We should go back to the village so…" Shippou looked into the inside of a well house, "What? Where are we?" asked Shippou.
The boy he was holding on to said, "I don't know, but how'd we get here?" Shippou looked around and walked out.
"Come on let's look around," Shippou said.
The boy followed and said, "This is different, this is a shrine."
Shippou said, "I can never understand you."
Shippou looked up as an old man ran from the house a little ways off screaming, "Demon! A demon has come through the well!"
A boy ran up to him and said, "Grandpa calm down! We don't know if their Kagome's friends or not." The boy walks past the old man and says, "Did you come from Inuyasha's time?"
Shippou says, "Yeah, we're Kagome's friends, is this her home?"
A woman walks up to the boy and says, "Sota, who are they?"
Shippou said, "I'm Shippou, and this is… well he doesn't remember his name."
The woman said, "How sad."
Sota said, "I'm Sota, as you heard, I'm Kagome's brother."
"Hello? Can someone help me out?" a voice called from the well.
"Kagome!" said the woman, she ran over to the well and dropped a ladder. "Kagome, your friends are here."
Kagome said, "What? Who? Don't let them see me come from the well."
"But they came from the well too," said the woman.
"What?" Kagome climbed out of the well and tripped over the edge in her haste. She looked up as Shippou giggled and said, "Shippou, how'd you get here?"
Shippou said, "Well we were out near the well and we fell in and ended up here."
Kagome said, "We?"
Shippou looked around and said, "Where'd he go, he was holding that blue jewel thing as we went through the well."
"What blue jewel?" asked Kagome as she pulled herself up.
The old man had watched for a moment then he had seen the boy walk off, he followed him into the storehouse. The boy walked straight to a long rectangular case, he opened it and said, "Old man."
The old man jumped and thought, 'How can he do that?'
"Whose was this?" said the boy as he lifted a bow and a quiver of arrows.
The old man said, "A priest gave it to me, he said his name was Mikurugi."
The boy froze up and said, "Yes, I'll take it then, okay?" The man felt himself nod. The boy says, "It called me to it." The boy fell backward, asleep, holding the bow and quiver.
Kagome ran past the storehouse as she saw her grandpa standing outside of it. She called out, "Grandpa!"
He turned to look at her and said, "Kagome, your friend here just touched a sacred bow and quiver, it was supposed to be kept for him."
"Whatever gramps," said Sota from behind Kagome. "Hey mom, their over here," Sota called out.
Shippou said, "Kagome, its almost dark out."
"Yeah, lets get inside," Kagome said.
An hour later the boy woke up and looked around. He was on a couch in a large room; he got down and stood up. "He's awake," said Shippou from behind him.
The boy walked past Shippou and said, "Where is this?"
Kagome said, "My house."
Inuyasha stood in the kitchen and said, "Hey, how did you get here?"
He looked very suspicious but Kagome said, "Inuyasha! Don't be rude."
The boy nodded and he said, "I remember, a shrine, it was just like this one."
Kagome's mom said, "You remember a shrine? Have you ever visited here?"
Kagome said, "No, he has amnesia, he might be remembering things."
Kagome's mom said, "Maybe we should call a doctor, I'll call one, Sota, Grandpa, let's make some tea too."
The three left into the kitchen, leaving Kagome, Shippou, Inuyasha, and the boy in the room.
The boy froze up as he said, "Tonight's a waxing crescent isn't it?"
Kagome said, "What? How did you know?"
The boy whispered, "Oh no." He looked around and grabbed a blanket next to him, covering himself.
Kagome looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
The boy slid down as Inuyasha growled, "Wolf! But where?"
Everyone in the room asked, "What?"
Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga and the boy panicked but Kagome said, "Inuyasha? What are you doing?"
Inuyasha said, "There's a wolf demon here." He sniffed for a moment and said, "It's the runt."
Kagome said, "What?"
Inuyasha picked up the bundle of blankets and held it aloft. A bushy tail waved frantically as small teeth tried to bite Inuyasha's hand. Kagome looked at the boy and said, "He's a demon?"
"No, he's only a half-demon," said Shippou.
The boy stuck out his tongue as he said; "Now you know, so let me go!" He kicked the hand that held him and said, "I said let go!" The room filled with a white light and Inuyasha shouted.
The light faded and Inuyasha held his hand as it shook.
Kagome yelled, "Inuyasha!" At the same time Shippou ran after the escaping form through the window.
As the two kids ran from the house Shippou yelled, "Wait!" He caught up to the boy and tackled him to the ground.
The boy yelled at Shippou, "Now you know! Now you can leave me like the others!"
Shippou said, "What? Hold on, that was a priest's power, but you're a half-demon, so how can you have the powers of a priest?"
The boy looked away, "I remember, I was adopted, but after they saw what I was they tried to get rid of me but they couldn't." Tears were running down his face as he continued, "I tried to develop my priest powers so I could control my demon side, but it only works with the moon." Shippou looked confused so the boy said; "When the moon grows my demon side gets more powerful, and when it gets full its too powerful to control. That's how my sister…" He turned away as tears flowed and Shippou climbed off of the boy, "My name is Ryuumaru." Shippou turned but the boy had fallen asleep.

I win a bazillion dollars for getting the guts to post this, because I took forever to write and I was worried noone would like it.
