Night Calls
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, nor do I own its characters. I do, however, own Yure Takeshi and the events revolving around her -- these include her circumstances in the feudal era as well as the movies mentioned in the story ( and to the best of my knowledge, these movies do not exist ).
Summary: There was one other survivor from the Demon Slayer Village, but she wasn't there during the decimation. Where was she? More of a when. Somehow, she found herself in "present-day Japan" and eighteen years later, she returns to the time in which she truly belongs -- certainly, this wasn't in the devious plan of the nefarious Naraku as well! Or was it?
Rated for safety. And what kind of writer would I be if I didn't ask for a response from the readers?
In the last chapter, the woman decided that getting out of the forest in which she woke up and that changing her clothes was probably the best thing to do with the given circumstances. Not only did she have what she needed, but it seemed that her familiar had followed her to the feudal era as well! Sweet. Now, onto finding that village…

"Director!" Juro cried as he scrambled up the stairs and out of the well-house, "Director Mizuno!" "What is it, Juro?" "It's Takeshi!" the actor managed to explain between breaths, "She disappeared! Vanished! We were talking while she was getting her bag and the loft collapsed! She managed to push me out of the way, but then the rubble fell on her and when I tried digging her out, she was no where to be found!" "WHAT!" the director yelled before instructing several members of the crew at a time, "You! Search inside the mini-shrine! And make sure to look in the well, too! You, seven! You go and…"
Juro didn't hear the rest of the director's orders as he had walked away toward the Higurashi house. At the open door, he found Sota sitting on the ground with a rather thick manga in his lap. Of course, being wrapped up in the story, he didn't notice the enraged actor until his shadow cast over him. "You!" Juro said, calling the boy's attention, "What did you do with Takeshi!" "Me?" Sota asked, "What happened to Yure and why do you think I had anything to do with it?" "Don't play innocent with me!" The actor snapped, "She's been staying her for a few days and I always find her by the mini-shrine! Now, we were in the mini-shrine and she disappeared! Tell me what happened!" "Huh? She disappeared?" Sota repeated, "Did she go into the well?" "No, she didn't go into the well! If she went into the well, she'd be in the well!" "Maybe she somehow went back to InuYasha's time…" Sota muttered as he stood up. "Huh?" "Grandpa!" Calling his grandfather, the boy ran up the stairs. "Hey! Don't leave me down here!"
"Could it be…?" Grandpa Higurashi uttered, looking at the broken planks before him. "Could what be, Grandpa?" "The well itse—" "FORGET IT!" The two looked up towards the door to see Director Mizuno burst into the well-house, slamming the door and nearly knocking it off its track, "Old man, we're leaving this place right now! First, our main actress vanishes into thin air! After that, our actor is nowhere to be found! Then, that tree attacks me!" "Um, sir," a gaffer behind him tried to point out, "You walked into the tr—" "It doesn't matter!" Mizuno snapped before the young man could finish his last word. "The deal is off, old man Higurashi! We're outta here!" The man turned around and walked away, muttering something along the lines of "come on, let's go." "Deal?" Sota asked, turning to his grandfather who had reverted his attention back to the site of Yure's disappearance, "Does that mean we're not gonna get paid…?" "It does," Grandpa Higurashi nodded, "But that may be the least of our worries.
"The Bone-Eater's Well itself has mysterious powers, as does the immediate area around it. As one would realize, the area around it doesn't have such strong abilities. Kagome was able to pass through the well to the feudal era, but first with the held of the Shikon Jewel. Yure may have passed through to the feudal era as well; however, she must have needed another source of power to assist. Maybe something even more powerful that the Shikon Jewel itself." "More powerful than the Shikon Jewel…" the boy muttered, "Wouldn't that make it possible for this power to be incredibly dangerous?" "It may make it difficult for Kagome to return, but the only thing we can do to prevent such potential danger from spreading is to seal the well and the mini-shrine…"
