Last Time:
Koenma just nodded, as if understanding. He then looked at his papers, until. "What? A different time!"
This Time:
The nervous Kuwabara began chuckling nervously as he backed away to the door. "M-maybe we should uhm…"
Sango and Miroku had already predicted Kuwabara's movement and blocked the doorway in amazing speed. "In which time?" asked Koenma.
"I'm not sure!" shouted Kuwabara. He stopped trying to escape since he knew he was no match for the two. "They had gone somewhere, and I didn't feel like coming with them."
"What was the transportation?" asked Miroku, as he brushed imaginary dust off his robes, though making a sneak look at Sango. In his mind, he could hear her rejecting him flat out. She was a strong, beautiful woman that probably wouldn't settle for a guy like him. Yes, his perverted self was the problem, but he didn't know how to express his liking or love. The constant groping, the touching of her breast, and all that he could think of them were just a symbolic form of his affections.
Sure, Miroku always groped other women and asked them to bear his child, but he was scared. He was scared of who would bear his child and reaction towards his curse. He was scared of the child's future if he failed to bring down Naraku. The child would definitely live their life in hatred towards Naraku. No, he wouldn't want that to happen.
"I-it was a well," stammered Kuwabara. "They all had gone because they seemed really interested. But, something about the well when I had gone near it…" Kuwabara shivered a bit. "Something didn't feel right."
Sango and Miroku looked at each other.
"Well, I guess you three should inspect the well then." Koenma began looking through files and placed down pictures of wells that glowed with magical properties. "Using the Spirit World scanners to scan the human world, they had found only three magical forces that dwell in these wells." He then separated the three pictures and slightly picked up one of the pictures.
"This one I'm holding up is located in the country of the Philippines," Koenma began.
"Err… Koenma, the well I was talking about is in Japan."
"Kuwabara, shut up and let me continue."
Kuwabara then was silent. "This well is located in America. And, the other one is here in Japan."
"Well, now, why I'm showing you these wells when you're speaking about one well, the reason is that they had appeared out of nowhere. And, my father has sent some Spirit World Defense Squads to see about it. They never came back when they went through. It's been weeks."
"I see, that's quite dangerous," Miroku said thoughtfully. "Someone from a different time could enter the modern world and disrupt the future."
"Though, we don't know which time it leads to. Am I right, Koenma-sama?" asked Sango.
"Hai."
Kagome and Hiei
Hiei smirked, seeing how bad he had scared Kagome. Though, he wasn't ready for the slap he received from her. Hiei blinked.
"Ugh! Why did you have to scare me like that?" scolded Kagome. "Out of all places and times, and it's here!" Hiei rolled his eyes. "And, don't you dare roll your eyes at me! You scared me to death!"
"Will you shut up now?"
"No! Because, you're the one who started it! You wouldn't-mmph-!" Hiei had covered Kagome's mouth. Kagome bit his hand, and Hiei retreated and began treating his wounded hand. "Why are you-!"
"Quiet," Hiei said in a hushed tone. He began looking around his surroundings. "Hold still."
"Wha…?" Kagome stared at Hiei in a daze-like way.
"Hn." Hiei had wrapped his arms around Kagome and teleported to the highest tree branch near the surrounding.
Kagome smacked him. "My clothes!"
"There's nothing for you to hide anyways!" Hiei retorted.
"Why you-!"
"Shush."
From afar, they could see a furious yet half worried Inuyasha. "It's Inuyasha-!" Hiei clamped his hand over Kagome's mouth. "Not yet."
"Kagome?" he called out. "Where are you?"
There was a few seconds of silence. "Dratz…" It was quite strange. Inuyasha's form changed to a man with long dark hair. His clothes have shift from the red fire rat kimono to what was closely related to the dark purple kimono.
"N-mmph!"
The figure looked around. "Stupid birds." He then noticed the pile of neatly stacked clothing on the floor.
"Talk in a silent voice and tell me who that is," commanded Hiei. "Do you get it?" Kagome nodded. Hiei then peeled his hand off Kagome's mouth.
"Now, who is that?"
Kagome looked over to the figure and then to Hiei. "That's Naraku."
INUYASHA GANG
Inuyasha raced to where Kagome and Hiei were. He paused in his tracks. Sniffing the air, he growled slightly. "Naraku."
He looked back at the group that followed behind, once they caught up two other people were missing. "Where the hell is Sango and Miroku?"
Kurama, being one to usually notice these types of things, scolded himself for not taking any precaution.
"Aren't they the ones there?" asked Yusuke. They saw their retreating forms quickly disappear far off to where Kagome and Hiei were. "Man, they must be worried."
"How the hell did they get so fast all of a sudden?" Inuyasha asked annoyed.
Shippou then replied, not nearly answering Inuyasha's question. "Well, something has got to be fishy. We better go see."
HIEI AND KAGOME
They stood silent, peering at Naraku. Hiei knew he could not attack now without endangering Kagome and displaying her current state.
"Is that a well?" Kagome whispered to Hiei.
Hiei looked towards the direction she stared at and nodded. "It wasn't there before…"
"Right now, we don't have time to muse over the well," Hiei said, looking back at Naraku.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps quickly heading towards the location. "I see that my puppets made it here before the Inuyasha."
"Yes, Master Naraku," they bowed.
Kagome squinted her eyes a bit, getting a better view of the two that greeted Naraku. It couldn't have been Kanna or Kagura, considering the shape. So, was this a new puppet of Naraku's? Hopefully not.
"Isn't that the monk and the demon slayer?" Hiei asked, a bit amused yet shocked.
Kagome took a closer look. She gasped slightly and nodded. "But, why?"
Hiei shrugged. "We better get out of here. They'll notice us sooner if we stay here."
"But my clothes!"
"Here," Hiei took off his semi-wet trench coat. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and jumped down into the well.
"The hell was that?" Naraku asked. A glow emitted from the well behind the tree.
The two, Miroku and Sango quickly ran and took a look inside the well. "Nothing," Sango reported.
"Never mind. I suppose I should be leaving. Carry on with your duty around Inuyasha and his little gang." With that said, Naraku made his leave.
END OF CHAPTER
A/N: Sadly, I couldn't get this updated by Christmas. So, I'll give you an excuse. First off, I tried typing it on Christmas Eve, but I went to Chinatown. On Christmas day, I went to my grandma's annual Christmas party and stayed there till 1 A.M. Then on Monday, I got a new videogame called the Radiata Story (something like that). Well, I wouldn't write a whole paragraph based on my days, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Or either, PM me (I think that's what it's called. I'm not truly updated in these stuff).
Well, later you people. Hopefully, I'll get the other "I Promise" up before New Years. If I don't, Happy New Years!
