I told you I'd write more. When we last saw Kari she was being dragged into the well. What'll happen to her next? R&R.
"W-where am I?" Kari wondered. She was floating in a sort of swirling white blue light. The arms that had pulled her helplessly into the well were gone. But where had they brought her? And where was her father? Had the arms dragged him into the mysterious depths of the well too?
Suddenly she saw something in the distance. The object was coming closer at an alarming speed and, straining her eyes to see, Kari saw it was a girl with a large head and almost no hair. The girl appeared to be topless, but it was her arms that made Kari's blood freeze. She had six arms that were very long and reaching toward her.
"Give me the jewel!" it screeched before wrapping its icy cold hands around Kari's throat.
"Get away!" Kari screamed, holding her hands out in front of her. A bright pink light shot from her hand, shattering the girl into pieces. Kari felt a sudden rush as she plummeted downward and landed with a thud on the dirt bottom of the well.
"What do you mean it dragged her into the well?" Kagome screeched.
Inuyasha flinched. He'd just told her what happened in the shrine.
"You have to go after her," Kagome said, "She won't stand a chance on her own. Have you forgotten how dangerous it was back then?"
"No I haven't. But I can't go through the time warp remember?" Inuyasha told her, "I need you with me in order to get there."
"Then lets go!" she urged, pulling Inuyasha out the door toward the shrine.
"What? Now?"
"Yes now. Don't tell me your hesitant to go and rescue your own child?" she asked.
"No," answered her husband, "But shouldn't we bring the Shikon jewel?"
Kagome choked. "The…(cough)…the jewel? No, no of course not (cough). Hurry now!"
"Uuuunn." Kari sat up and rubbed her sore back. She had landed in the bottom of the well, but it was different somehow. It was littered with bones and wasn't as moldy. And there was a shaft of sunlight coming down.
Kari stood and began to grab hand and footholds so she could climb out. She soon reached the top, but almost let go and fell back down when she saw her surroundings. Where ever she was, it wasn't home. The well wasn't in the shrine and her house was no where in sight. The well was in the middle of a small meadow with trees all around.
"Where am I?" Kari whispered, then she shouted, "Mom, Dad, I'm here! I'm ok!" No answer. "Mom? Dad? Where are you? Hello!" Well, I guess no one's here, Kari thought, atleast that monster's gone.
Kari looked about for any signs of people. There, floating above the trees, was a thin curl of smoke. That would give her something to head for. Kari started walking. She walked for a long time, never stopping to rest.
She paused briefly to see how far she had to go. Ahead of her was a tree that appeared no different from any of the others, except there appeared to be something hanging from it. Kari crept slowly closer.
Yes, there appeared to be a person hanging from the tree. A boy. Vines were wrapped around his body, holding him against the trunk. Arrows were stuck in his arms and legs, and a really big one in his chest. When she looked closer she saw it appeared to be made of some kind of crystal. When she touched it, it began to glow.
The boy appeared to be sleeping. Kari stepped closer and peered at him. "Hello," she said. The boy didn't stir. Kari tapped his forehead gently with her fist and said again, "Hello? Hello. Hi! Hey! Hello! Heeeellooooo!"
Kari became so frustrated she swung her hand back as far as she could and slapped him. "Hello!" she bellowed. The boy still didn't move. Good grief, she thought, what a lazy bum. She stepped back to study the boy and noticed something about him she'd missed.
His ears, which looked sort of like a dogs, were up at the top of his head. Wow, these are really good, Kari thought, He must have worked really hard on them. I think I wanna…squeeze them. And she did. Phew! Glad I got that out of my system.
She turned and saw the smoke again. Kari glanced back at the boy before she started walking. Little did she know, the boy's hand was twitching.
Well that's all for now. Keep those reviews coming. I'll write more when I can.
