Okay, I think I'm going to get rid of the prologue. I thought it would be an important piece of the plot, but I've decided against it. Besides that, it was very forced and just confusing. Anyone that really wants a copy of the poor thing from now on can email me at Vega_Grey@hotmail.com.
Let's do the Time Warp again! Let's do the Time Warp again!!!!
ahem this scene takes place just after they've teamed up with Sango.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu, but I did name my cat Yasha, and I think I technically own her, so nyeh!

Prisoners: The Bone Eater's Well
You Look Familiar

Inu Yasha led the way through the forest that bore his name, tramping down on rocks and sharp foliage with bare feet, causing the others to grimace. Miroku looked around him wonderingly. The landscape was becoming more and more familiar...
"Inu Yasha," the monk began carefully, "Shouldn't we be scouting for more jewel shards, and not returning to the well?"
Inu Yasha did not slow or turn around, "Haven't you been keeping track of the days since she left?! She should have been back two days ago!"
Myoga piped up from his lord's shoulder, "Actually, Master Inu Yasha, I believe that Lady Kagome has only been gone for four days, rather than her promised six."
Inu Yasha stopped walking and blinked down at the little flea, "So?! Who's counting!?! She's been gone too long and that's all!!" the hanyou began walking again, the group following quietly, and at a safe distance.
"Is he always like this?" Sango whispered to Miroku.
"Yes, though it does seem to get worse when Kagome is gone," he murmured back.. The hanyou's ears turned back towards them and Miroku pulled Sango closer, to breathe into her ear, "Of course, while Inu Yasha is away, you and I will have the chance to get better acquainted," his bead wrapped hand moved around the woman's torso to cup her breast. Sango grabbed his hand, planted her feet, swung him up and over her body, finally slamming the priest into the ground.
"Hentai," she muttered, following after Inu Yasha, who had ignored the exchange completely. Shippo looked up at the demon exterminator in awe.
"Wow, and you didn't even say 'sit'..."
When they reached the well, Inu Yasha turned to address the group, "Wait here, I'll bring Kagome back quickly," he leapt lightly into the well.
Miroku, slightly rumpled, ambled over to join them, "So, Sango..."
Shippo sighed, "Do you really wanna try again, monk?"
*****
Inu Yasha exited the well house quickly, running toward the scent of Kagome and her family in the shrine.
*****
Across the street, silent, two men watched him.
"Now?" one of them asked.
"No, we've got to give him more time."
*****
Inu Yasha was greeted with an empty house. *Oh yeah, that 'school' thing Kagome is always taking about.* On the refrigerator, beside a crude rendering of Inu Yasha drawn by Sota, was a note:
"10/03
"Kagome and Sota,
"Grandpa and I have gone out for some supplies for the well, as well as several new school uniforms for you, Kagome. We may not be back when you return home from school, so please make yourself a snack. There is Ramen in the cupboard.
"Love Mom"
Inu Yasha blinked, confused, "Ten zero three?" A calendar on the wall caught his attention, *Oh, tenth month, third day... hmm, they sure are concerned with time in this century.* He looked at the clock on the wall, and was reminded of the little watch Kagome always wore. *Twelve twenty-two... oh please, who ever needs to know the exact time down to the minute?* Inu Yasha shook his head in wonder and proceeded to demolish the house looking for the Ramen mentioned in the note.
*****
Across the street, looking at his watch, a man turned to his companion, "Now."
*****
Inu Yasha was throwing anything that didn't smell like Ramen onto the floor behind him, he had quite a pile by the time the larger of the two men silently entered the house, snuck up behind him, and clapped a hand on the hanyou's shoulder, spinning him around to look him in the eye.
*****
Outside the house, a cloud of birds rose from the trees at the sound of Inu Yasha's scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
******
Hours later, Kagome skipped home from school happily, holding in her hand the herbal vapor rub Hojo had been kind enough to give her. She entered her house to find Inu Yasha putting cans and boxes neatly into cupboards.
"Inu Yasha," she blinked.
"Kagome," he sighed heavily, "Will you please come back with me to my time, after I put these things away?"
Kagome's eyes were as wide as dinner plates, "Oookay, Inu Yasha, I'll just take this time to write a note..."
As Inu Yasha finished cleaning up his own mess, Kagome wrote a small addition to the end of her mother's note.
"Inu Yasha is here, and being polite. Something must be very, very wrong. I'll try to be back by the end of the week. Please don't worry. Kagome"
*****
The came out of the well in Feudal Japan. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were all there waiting for them. The priest sighed in relief.
"Wonderful, now we can continue," Miroku turned and began walking.
"Wait, so everyone's okay?" Kagome asked.
"Why shouldn't we be?" Sango looked from Kagome to Inu Yasha.
Inu Yasha shrugged, "I didn't say anything."
"You were acting all weird!" Kagome accused.
"I was not!"
"Perhaps now would be a good time to continue on our quest?" Miroku asked, eager to be moving again.
"Actually, I was thinking we could sit here and watch the sunset..." Everyone looked to the speaker, Inu Yasha, in surprise.
Kagome looked him in the eye, "Alright, who are you and what have you done with Inu Yasha?!"
"What can't a guy be nice once in awhile?!"
"Not you!"
"Whaddya mean, bitch!"
"There we go," Shippo sighed relieved, "I was worried there for a second..."
