This story is rated T. It has bits of smut, various POV's, humor and some horror. I tried to keep it in the true context and characterization of Inu Yasha and GW. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. The original stories belong to much more creative people. This was written in the spirit of fun not profit.

Chapter 5 The Shikon Jewel

When the ground had started to crumble away Heero had reached out and tried to grab onto the stone edge surrounding the hole only to find that the rocks were loose and came away at his touch. For a second, he was free falling, then last moment he grabbed wildly and caught Duo's hand.
"I got him," Duo shouted triumphantly at the others.
Heero looked up into Duo's face and felt a moment of fear. Duo was hanging upside down in the well by his ankles. If he fell now in the direction he was pointing in he would die instantly.
"Duo let me go," Heero told him.
"No way buddy," Duo said. "Wufei got me so you can just give me your other hand and climb up."
"Yes, Yuy give him your other hand. Then I can strangle Maxwell for putting us in this situation," Wufei huffed.
"Me?" Duo said shocked. "I'm not the one who decided to fall."
"Shall I prove you wrong, by say letting go of your ankles," Wufei quipped.
"If you do, you better hope this hole is deep," Duo threatened.
"It's a well," Trowa called out his soft voice cutting their bickering. "Wells are always deep."
"Guys, I'm sure Heero would prefer you squabble after he is out of the well," Quatre added in a strained voice.
The group waited.
"Well you guys did say you wanted to help me check out my property," Heero said mischievously. "So Duo what do you think of my well?"
Dangling by his ankles Duo smiled down at his friend. "It looks—well."

Kagome stared at the two wolves shocked. Koga went into the well. He was in her world. Inu was a half-breed but Koga was a full youkai. He was truly not human and tended to really shy away from humans in general. Before she met him he would attack human villages if the need arose and his pack would feed. Kogame started to feel real panic.
"Inu, we have to get him," Kagome started to say and froze.
Inu was cleaning an ear and looking bored. By his attitude, she knew he wasn't going to help unless pushed to do so. She would have liked to think it was because he was jealous to Koga's interest in her but that wasn't really why Inu didn't like Koga. Inu was small-minded, like a dog he didn't like to share. That included everything and anything.
"Kagome what happened?" Sango asked.
She and the others had come to investigate why they hadn't arrived in the village. When they saw the two pack brothers of Koga's the group became concerned.
"Koga, traveled through the well to my world," Kagome told them.
"I thought only Inu Yasha could do that," Shippo chirped out.
"That's right only I can, not that pathetic wolf," Inu jeered.
"But he's not in the well. Ginta and Hakkaku saw him go in and he hasn't come back out," Kagome protested.
"He probably ran away like he usually does and they were too slow to see it," Inu said insultingly.
Ginta and Hakkaku were not afraid of Inu Yasha, although they knew he was far stronger than them. He wasn't really as violent as he pretended to be—besides the fact, Kagome wouldn't let him harm them.
"We're sure," they said in unison.

Weak and hungry Koga waited in the darkness, he was dying slowly. He could feel his body weakening as he moved around his dirt prison. Suddenly, he realized he was no longer along. His instincts were strong when it came to sensing things. The power source he had been feeling was close, very close and it was very strong, a hundred times stronger than the Shikon shards in his legs. It was like the whole jewel was right above him. Koga salivated. The Shikon jewel had an irresistible pull. Youkai were drawn to it.
Koga jumped for it as he had done in the past, only this time the Shikon shards in his legs gave him a strong burst of energy. He flew up the narrow dirt shaft. His sharp claw feet finding purchase to carry him up hundreds of feet to the source of the power.

"What a time you picked to develop a sense of humor," Wufei started to say when suddenly Duo was yanked forward hard.
The whole group slid forward almost a foot. Wufei felt his waist kiss the lip of the well. Quatre's was now able to peek off the edge into the yawing darkness below.
"What just happened?" Quatre shouted.
"You guys!" Wufei yelled. "If this is another joke, it wasn't funny."
"Something grabbed my foot," Heero shouted up.
A deep and angry growl echoed up from the well. It was definitely not human and it was certainly not happy. Duo felt Heero jerk again. His whole body was completely in the well so the little light from above didn't help.
"There's something down here," Duo shouted. "Guys, pull us up."
Heero tried to shake it off, his jerking caused more loose stone to drop away from the edge of the well. Wufei felt his body sliding further over the edge.
"Stop twisting," he hissed.
With a mighty heave Trowa and Quatre pulled Wufei's torso up. As Wufei cleared the well more angry growls interrupted their panting breaths. Heero could feel sharp claws digging into his thighs. The animal was dark and hairy with arms like an ape yet it sounded like a dog.
"What is it?" Quatre asked.
"I can't see a thing," Duo shouted back.
Quatre tried to grab the flashlight he had discarded when he grabbed Wufei. He loosened one hand and Wufei slid a few inches through his grasp. Quatre quickly tightened his hold now pressing his face into Wufei hips.
The flashlight was pointing away its light covered with dark. It was lying only a few inches from his hand. Digging his fingers in with one hand he shoved it towards the well.
The flashlight rolled and for a moment he thought he might have pushed too much. Then the light stopped. It was only a few inches from the edge. The light was now pointing across the darkness. Its light was filling up the room giving it a faint glow.
"How's that," he asked Duo.
Duo squinted into the darkness. He could hear it sniffing below. He could just make out the dark furry head. The thing lifted its face to the light and Duo gasped. It looked human. That couldn't be right. He heard Heero's hiss of surprise. It had hands but he could also see movement between its legs.
"Heero what is that?" Duo asked in an awed whisper.
"It has a tail," Heero gasped. He sounded almost relieved. "It might be a monkey."
"A monkey?" Duo repeated.
"A big one."
"Heero thinks it's a monkey," Duo shouted back.
Duo had doubts but he couldn't think what else it could be. The creature looked up again and the faint light made its eyes glow. It's mouth opened and a flash of small sharp pointy teeth were visible. Heero sucked in a frightened breath.
"Hurry," Heero said. His voice had risen slightly showing his panic.
The creature leaped for Heero again, it stuck its muzzle into his groin like a dog would. As it sniffed him, he could feel its sharp hard teeth rub bruisingly across more sensitive regions. He felt its warm breath on the soft skin of his stomach where his shirt had risen up then something hot and wet was stuck into his navel. A few seconds later, he felt the animal nuzzled the soft skin of his stomach. Heero felt a moment of panic then blinding hot pain.
Heero screamed and jerked his body violently. He slammed into the side of the well and quickly used that solid pressure to kick at his assailant. Heero felt his legs connect.
The group jerked crazily. Quatre could feel Wufei slipping back in. He held on tighter only causing himself and Trowa to be pulled along.
"It's biting him, hurry," Duo shouted next.
The group pulled again and Wufei manage to get Duo's feet level with the well. It was hard, the soft ground kept crumbling away making it difficult to gain purchase.
