Chapter 3: Eyes in the Dark

The next morning the group got ready to leave and then set off, looking for the jewel shards and trying to figure out a way for Kay and Michelle to get home. Their first stop was the Bone-Eater's well.

They walked there, not stopping for anything on the way. Once they made it to the well, Kay and Michelle stood in front of it, wondering if they should jump in or not. "I'll go in first, and if you guys don't get through, I'll come back. I'll go in for... moral support!"

Kagome jumped in the well with ease, disappearing at the bottom.

"You go first," Michelle said to Kay.

Kay shook her head and pointed to Michelle.

InuYasha sighed and pushed the two down the well, sending them plunging to the bottom. Michelle screamed and Kay braced herself for impact, and then they landed on the ground with a soft thump.

"I don't think we'll be able to get though..." Michelle said to Kay.

"Well that's just perfect!" Kay yelled as she looked up at the top of the well.

"Thanks for giving us a bruise, jerk!" Kay yelled to InuYasha.

Michelle decided to join in the insult fight and said, "You mother f--"

Kay put a hand over Michelle's mouth and told her mentally, We're on a TV show, idiot!

Michelle mumbled something that couldn't be heard because of Kay's hand. "You know, I like you sounding like this instead of your usual loudmouth self," Kay said with a smirk.

Kagome then was at the bottom of the well next to them, looking at them sadly. "I guess you can't get through," Kagome said.

Kay removed her hand from Michelle's mouth and Michelle said, "Ya think!"

"Well, we should get going," Kay said, starting to climb out of the well as best she could. Once they were all out of the well, Charlie transformed and so did Kirara. Kay and Michelle got on top of Charlie and Sango and Shippo on top of Kirara, and they set off, running at high speeds. InuYasha and Kagome started to run in front of the two large creatures, and Miroku followed them.

After about a half hour of running, Kay asked Kirara, How do you keep running for so long? It's so boring! And I would get tired so quickly.

Well, I'm a demon, InuYasha's a half demon, your dog is cool, and Miroku... Who knows why he can run like that, Kirara answered.

Kay sighed and looked ahead, wondering if they could do any more weird things, like Michelle suggested. Kay looked at her nails and then glared at them, wondering how they were supposed to get home.

Soon enough, night came and the group stopped in a small clearing in the forest, making camp there. Kagome and Shippo went to sleep in her sleeping bag and InuYasha took a tree for comfort. Kay sat by the fire, looking into it, but not seeing anything. Charlie laid by Kay, and Michelle laid by Charlie, falling asleep rather quickly. Miroku and Sango slept near each other on the ground, already asleep.

Kirara bounced over to Kay and landed on her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek. Kirara had become very fond of Kay quite fast, mainly because Kay liked to talk to Kirara.

You look sad, Kirara said to her, bouncing down to Kay's lap for comfort.

Kay looked into the fire and nodded. I miss my mom. I want to get home as soon as possible... And you know what's worse? In my world, this place isn't even real...

What's that mean? Kirara asked.

We watch you guys on a box. It's a half hour show that Michelle and I, and many, many other people watch... It's kinda hard to explain. But that means that I know everything about you guys, Kay said, looking at the small kitty in her lap. Kay pet Kirara and soon enough Kirara fell asleep on her lap, troubling thoughts in her mind.

Kay watched the fire and then fell asleep also, wondering how she was supposed to get home.

Kay opened her eyes to see it was still dark, but the fire had went out a while ago. Something was wrong... Kay didn't know what, but something was wrong.

She got up, waking Kirara too. Looking around, she saw a pair of red eyes in the trees, looking at her. Kay's own hazel eyes widened and she stared into the red ones, wondering what it could be.

"Show yourself!" she yelled, waking everyone except for Michelle. InuYasha sensed it too, and he dropped from the tree, taking out his Tetsusaiga.

"What is that thing!" he yelled, seeing the red eyes in front of him.

Then they disappeared, leaving without a trace.

Next time: Kay and Michelle encounter slippery ramen and chopsitcks they can hardly use, and then they meet their first demon with a jewel shard! Remain tuned to see the next chapter, Rutheless Bear Demon!
