(Note: I've received some reviews that corrected my use of the Japanese word, neechan. I took this spelling off of a website - sort of an online dictionary. I do try to take heed in as xuggestions, corrections etc. So apologies for the flub and thanks for the corrections! )
It was so very much like the very first time - being dragged into the well, that is.
Terror, fear.
An arm wrapped around her waist, the hand? Hand? No, it was an appendage of a spider! Naraku! Kagome's thoughts were spinning.
NO! Onigumo! Iiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
"Ah, you are real!" Onigumo's appendages began to wrap around Kagome, slipping, sliding against intimate places, while Rin, held on the other side of Onigumo, fought, biting Onigumo's slithering limb.
CHOMP! (for a human girl, Rin could BITE!)
"SESSHOUMARU!" Rin cried out.
"BRAT!" He threw the child hard against the 'wall' of the well. Unconscious, she floated within the nebula that was the world of the well.
"A tasty little treat for my loyal demons..." Onigumo laughed.
"NO!" Kagome couldn't grab for her weapons, couldn't save Rin.
Sesshoumaru, WHERE are you? Kagome thought almost frantically.
"Time has little meaning here, my love." Onigumo smirked. "We could spend - eternity and time above and below will not have ceased..." Onigumo's eyes were piercing into her own.
Suddenly, he savagely kissed Kagome, a growl in his throat.
"AAAGGGGHHHHMMMMMPPPPHHHH!"
"I want you." Onigumo hissed as he pulled his lips away from Kagome. So sweet they were! Alive and full of life. Fire. She was fire where Kikyou had been cold dead earth.She was his - his prize so hard fought and at last won.
Kagome was seething inside as her hands turned claw-like. How DARE he? And how dare Sesshoumaru take so long?
Time or no time! Maybe it was all one big farce. This only made her angrier. With a feral cry, Kagome felt an unfamiliar surge of strength. She was freaking tired of the whole mess. Inuyasha, Kikyo, Naraku, Sesshoumaru - everything - and now this creep! When would it ever end?
"Go to hell, Onigumo!"Kagome shrieked as her clawed hands burst Onigumo's restraints. Purple ichor floated everywhere as Onigumo screamed in pain - like a human.
"BITCH!" Onigumo's eyes widened as Kagome hurtled down towards an unconscious Rin.
Kagome's eyes glittered ferally for a moment, and then suddenly she was 'Kagome' again.
She screamed, as she fell into nothingness, grabbed her bow, aimed and - missed! Onigumo simply laughed, amused at Kagome's attempt to stop him.
His eyes were filled with demons as his arms regrew, this time into demons with eyes like mirrors.
Like Kanna's mirrors.
In the Senguko Jidai...
"I hate this waiting." Inuyasha growled as he glanced towards the well where Kagome, Sesshoumaru and Rin were. Quite suddenly, Inuyasha leaped into the well and -
THUD!
"Son of a #$& bitch!" Inuyasha was yelling. "The well's sealed!"
"Well,duh!" Sango said, using one of Kagome's expressions.
"We need a Shikon shard to open the passage back, Inuyasha. Until then..." Mirouku sighed.
"Wait.Wait. Just how did Sesshoumaru get in there then, Mirouku, huh? Tell me that!" Inuyasha yelled back from the well as he hacked away at the ground of the well.
"The Boneater's Well is a mystery - especially to those who travel it." Kaede said mysteriously as Inuyasha leaped out of the well."
"Don't give me that mystic shit, Kaede! Is the well giving out invites or what?" The hanyou crossed her arms.
"I said the well IS a mystery! Perhaps Sesshoumaru's connection to Rin and Kagome have aided him."
"Feh! Connection! Are you saying I'm not connected, old woman?" Inuyasha glared at Kaede.
"Don't friggin' answer that!" Inuyasha glared at them all.
Unseen, a pair of eyes watched the small group.
Sesshoumaru had to fight his way within the well, but Onigumo's demons proved easy to defeat. He struck quietly with Toukijin and split Onigumo into two neat halves. Again, purple icor surrounded them, as Onigumo merged back together. The demon lord was rather put out - he should have slain this fool by now. Was he growing - weak?
"I am an immortal now, youkai! You bow to me!" Onigumo laughed, his body whole again.
Sesshoumaru said nothing, but simply struck Onigumo once more, this time with his sword Dokkasou, even as Kagome hurtled to where Rin was floating, demons surrounding the child.
"Let her go!" Kagome felt an unaccustomed anger.How dare they pick on a child!
Several turned towards Kagome. One of the demons, a gray, emanciated creature, replied. "She is our prize, miko, as you soon will be!" It laughed along with the others.
"Baka! Hang on Rin." She glanced up where Sesshoumaru was fighting with Onigumo.
"Hurry UP, Sesshoumaru! I'll meet you on the other side!" Kagome cried out.
Impudent girl! He was a fool for her. Now he regretted biting her.How dare he -
Onigumo was gone! Sesshoumaru's keen senses could not sense him anywhere.
All were gone - Onigumo and his demons - but where? Sesshoumaru did NOT like mysteries or surprises, for they usually did not bode well for anyone.
Silently, he flew up to where Kagome was swimming up the well with Rin on her back. He swept them both in his arms, silent, refusing to acknowledge that Onigumo's 'disapearance' bothered him.
