SQUEEEEEEEEE! .
I just finished the third movie... I feel all happy inside. It was funny to watch them fighting all these enemies to discover that they are, in fact, made of toothpaste. I totally recommend it, though, watch all the way through the credits or the ending's not quite as good...
Oh, and just a liberty I have taken: People can go through the well. In the show, I've seen them all now, Shippo's the only person who could not go through the well. Yura's hair went through, as did mistress centipede, and the reason it's called the bone eater's well is because all the bones put into it, disappeared. (Guess where they went?) So yeah, in other news...
My sister has not taken well to being beaten by a newbie. She's memorized EVERY Inuyasha song she could find, in Japanese, and I do mean to the syllable. I'm retaliating by burning them to a CD and listening over and over and over until I can do that too. I'm listening to it, so if I start typing in Japanese... forgive me...
Inuyasha awoke so somebody shaking him.
"I don' wanna get up, mommy..."
He dug deeper under the blankets, seeking refuge in their cover.
"Inuyasha, get up. We need you to tell us about the well."
"S- Sango?"
One golden eye peeked out from under the covers.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Where are we?"
"We're in Kikyo's apartment."
"So I wasn't dreaming?"
"No. Sorry."
Another eye appeared, then his whole face. A tear slid down his cheek, but he wiped it away, trying not to let any more come. Mommy said not to cry, and he wouldn't cry.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
"I'll be okay... I think."
"You said something last night, about a well?"
Inuyahsha nodded.
"Mmm- hmm. The well into the sengoku jidai."
"Sen goku... jidai is... the feudal era?"
"I dunno."
"Why then?"
"I dunno. That's what dad said. The well to the sengoku jidai, where there's all kinds of demons. He said Jaken would probably have to go because there was nowhere else for him to go."
"So... we could go there!"
Inuyahsa looked around.
"Where's Miroku and Kikyo?"
"Oh? They left a while ago. Tehy went to get some donuts and stuff for breakfast."
"Yay! Donuts!"
Actually, Kikyo and Miroku, anticipating an explosion from Inuyahsa woke and remembered about his mother and father, had evacuated the building under that excuse. They had left Sango to wake him up... after they were gone.
Demo, tada kono mama.
"Let me get this straight. We jump in here, and when we climb back out, we're going to be in a different era."
Sesshoumaru crossed his arms and looked skeptically at Naraku. Jaken peered fearfully into the dark well.
"In a nutshell, yes, that's exactly what happens."
Sesshoumaru looked at the well again.
"You go first."
"Sigh. It's sad you have so little trust in me."
"Yeah, save it."
Naraku looked from the well to the teenager and back again. Perhaps he wasn't as naive as he looked. Flicking one of his fingers he pushed Jaken into the well. The little demon screamed all the way down.
"What the hell? What did you do that for?"
"Distrustful people are themselves not to be trusted."
"You sought me out, and not the other way around. You don't have a choice, hanyou."
Naraku stiffened.
"Hanyou?"
"You smell of human, and I don't think you're the type to be spending a lot of time around them, so there's one place that smell could have come from."
"You don't know the half of it, kid."
With that Naraku disappeared down the well. Smirking, Sesshoumaru followed him.
On the other side, there was sunlight streaming through
"Jaken? You up there?"
"Yup, up were with the nut job, waiting for you and OW! What was that for?"
Sesshoumaru jumped out of the well.
"Don't hit him."
"Why not?"
"Because he's not on my shit list and you're quickly getting there. So don't do it, hanyou."
"I do wish you wouldn't call me that."
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything."
"So now what?"
Five hundred years and half a continent away, Miroku, Sango, and Kikyo stared at Inuyasha.
"What do you mean you don't know where it is?"
"Dad never said that. He just said it was a well that lead to a place where we'd be safe. And I'm gonna get there."
"I'll go too," Miroku said. "Maybe there's a way I can find the demon that cursed my family with the kazaana, and stop him then, before he ever got around to doing it."
"I'll go with you," Sango said. "I mean... uh... I've got nowhere else to go, so I might as well."
Miroku turned to her, catching her hands in his own.
"Are you sure? We don't know the dangers that might face us, you could be put into some serious situations."
"I know."
She blushed.
"Well come on then," Kikyo said. "We've got a well to find."
"You're coming too?"
"Well, yeah. You guys are just kids, there's no way I'm letting you go off on your own. I took an oath, you know."
"Just one question... how do we get there?"
(And this is where I will pause and apologize profusely for the next bit, which I totally ripped off. But it was unavoidable, it really was. I have no idea how to get a hanyou, two children, and a young woman to Japan, never mind to a specific place in Japan. Interestingly enough, I also know the Japanese words for demon and half demon but not human. Funny thing, huh?)
Eight hours later (not counting nine hour time difference and 500 year time-jump gap)
"Wow, what an adventure that was," Kikyo said, climbing out of the well.
"I liked when the giant squid launched missiles at us," Sango added as she followed.
Miroku and Inuyasha followed directly after, Miroku pushing Inuyasha over the top before following suit.
"Sesshoumaru's been here!" Inuyasha cried happily, sniffing at the ground. "Jaken too!"
"Jaken?"
"I totally forgot about him."
"Oops."
"They went this way!" Inuyasha said, pointing toward a nearby village, and running off.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Miroku said, following him.
"You said it," Sango agreed. The two of them ran off, leaving Kikyo standing by herself.
"Sesshoumaru, huh? Wonder what he's doing here."
Aaaaaand... CUT! That's a wrap, take five, people. For once I am not ending on that much of a cliffhanger. Sorry for the lack of cliffhanger, but I have no idea at all where to go from here. Ideas, comments, concerns appreciated, even flames are okay, just, please, refrain from insulting me personally, okay? (I've been having some problems with this, or I wouldn't even mention it.)
This chapter dedicated to Tailfluffgirl, for writing Cinderbones. Thumbs up to you, you rock. (Just on the off chance that she would read this)
