Chapter 1
When the well closes
(A/N A crosser X-Men: Evolution. Here is the better summary.)
Summary: Kagome and Inu-Yasha have another fight but when Kagome tries to go back through the well to say she is leaving for America for a student exchange program the well stops working. Inu-Yasha thinking that Kagome got so mad at him that she closed the well between her world and his lost himself to his youkai blood. With what little bit of his human soul left he asked a witch and another miko to seal him a way in a far off land. (Somewhere in the many forests of what is going to be present day New York.)
Shippou, Sango, Kirara, and Miroku came along with him to protect Inu-Yasha from ever awakening again. Kouga, Sesshou-Maru, and Rin ended up coming with them as well to protect Inu-Yasha's tomb/tree. 500 years later Magneto discovers a story about a powerful demon sealed away and the only way to release him is by the help of a miko and he has his eyes set on a new exchange student from Japan at Bayville High.

"SIT, BOY," A red faced Kagome yelled, jumping down the well as a furious Inuyasha fell to the ground, leaving a 3 foot deep hole the shape of his body. "Don't you dare follow me, Inuyasha!"
"K-Kagome! Get back here," Inuyasha growled, straining to left his body out of the deep hole. "Damn her!"
"Inuyasha, it's a bit late. Lady Kagome has already gone back to her own time," Miroku said, giving a helpful hand to a pain stricken hanyou.
"Shut-up, houshi! Well, then good riddance! I don't need her anyhow. Feh. I can look for shards of the jewel by myself," Inuyasha huffed, sitting down on the ground with is arms and legs crossed. "She can stay in that rotten era for all I care!"
"Inuyasha, just go get her. It was just a pointless fight. All she was doing was going home for three days to take another one of those 'math tests,'" Shippou said, hitting Inuyasha in the head. "Go apologize to her, baka!"
"Rgh! Whelp!" Inuyasha growled, grabbing hold of Shippou's tail and pulled.
"Waaaah! Let go! Th-that hurts," Shippou yelled as Inuyasha stood up and held Shippou to his side by his tail. "WHAAAAAAAAAH! Stop it, Inuyasha!"
"Feh," Inuyasha breathed, dropping Shippou on his head as he walked back towards the village.
"Jerk," Shippou barked, rubbing his tail and head.
"Oh, Shippou, just give Inuyasha some time to smooth out his fur. He'll go after her when he feels like it," Sango said, holding Kirara in one arm as the other petted the cat's head.
"Yeah, but remember what Kagome said about her threatening to block the well," Shippou said more than asked, jumping onto Miroku's shoulder. "What if she actually meant, Sango. That would mean we would never see her again!"
"Don't worry, Shippou. Lady Kagome only said that to scare Inuyasha into letting her go home," Miroku said, patting Shippou on the head. "You know she would never do that."
"Yeah, but… What if she wasn't," Shippou asked as they all disappeared into the woods.

(Kagome's House)
"ALRIGHT! YAY! I DON'T BELIEVE IT," Kagome yelled, looking down at the letter in her hand. "GO ME! GO ME! WHOO-HOO! HAHAHA!"
"What is it, Kagome? What does it say?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, looking at her more than happy daughter jumping up and down in place.
"It says: Dear Miss Higurashi Kagome, We would like to welcome you to Bayville High School, in Bayville, New York here in the United States of America. Although we know you have a lot of illnesses and missed a lot of school your school thinks that if you attend a new school you might receive a better education. Unfortunately the student we had lined up to take your place at your school won't be able to make it.
"You will see her though where you will be staying. Your ticket is enclosed with the letter to Bayville Airport. A man named Logan in the lobby of the airport will pick you up. We can hardly wait to have you here at Bayville High School. You are due to arrive at the Bayville Airport on September 20th. Signed Principal Kelly. That's in two days." Kagome said, beaming with happiness.
"That's funny they don't say where you will be staying though." Mrs. Higurashi said, taking the letter from her daughter. "Nor did that give me a number to reach them with."
"Don't worry, Mom! I'm sure the person who wrote it forgot to put the place I'm staying." Kagome said, looking at the airplane ticket.
"I guess but I still find it odd to forget something so important as that. Oh, by the way what about your jewel shard hunt? Won't they need you?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, looking at her daughter's happy face melt away into an uh-oh face. "Inuyasha might not like you being gone so long, sweetie."
"Inuyasha and the jewel shards! I got so excited about going to America I forgot all about it! Oh, no! Inuyasha is going to be so mad at me if I don't tell him," Kagome said, setting the ticket down and ran out the back door. " Of course he will get mad when I do tell him but he'll be even more mad if I don't! I'll be right back, Mom!"

"I can't believe they denied me that student exchange program," Jean said, looking at the refusal letter in her hand. "I was so looking forward to it!"
"I'm sorry, Jean, you better look next time." Scott said, patting her on the shoulder.
"But they still let Higurashi Kagome come here and live with us. Do you believe that," Jean asked, handing Scott the letter.
"She's going to feel a little odd here. You know being here around US," Scott said, pushing his shades back up a bit.
"I hope they told her everything because it's not going to be easy staying here. A normal person like her might get a little scared," Jean said, looking back down at the letter in Scott's hands.

(Well House)
"Finally I get to be staying around normal people. Not that Sango, Shippou, Inuyasha, and Miroku aren't normal but when people can throw giant boomerangs, shape shift, have doggy ears, and a wind tunnel in their hand isn't something I call normal. Oh, well. Okay, Kagome, just say what you got to say and high tail it back here. sigh I can do this no problem, right," Kagome gulped, climbing up onto the well's lip and jumped in. "Oh, God, Inuyasha is going to be so mad at me!"
THUMP
"What the… Why I'm I still on my side of the well? Let me try that that again," Kagome said, getting a worried look on her face as she climbed up the ladder and jumped back in. "How strange!"
THUMP
"NO! No, this can't be! This isn't possible! I have the Shikon shards with me! Why can't I go through to the other side," Kagome asked herself, digging into the cold, damp ground in the bottom of the shadow filled well. "C'mon please let me pass through the well!"

(Inuyasha's time)
"Hmmm? I don't hear or see anyone." Inuyasha said, shifting his kawaii dog ears in different angles as he looked around and jumped into the well.
THUMP
"ANO? She couldn't have! She wouldn't have! Would she! RRR! You wench! How dare you do this to me! Kagome! KAGOME," Inuyasha yelled, digging into the warm, dry ground in the bottom of the sunlight filled well. DON'T DO THIS TO ME! DAMN WENCH, OPEN THE PORTAL! KAGOME, PLEASE UNSEAL THE WELL!"
000000000000000000000
(Kagome's time)
"INUYASHA! PLEASE GOD NO! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" Kagome yelled, digging deeper into the well's bottom.
000000000000000000000
(Inuyasha's time)
"STUPID WELL! OPEN UP! KAGOME, GET THIS WELL OPEN! NOW!" Inu-Yasha yelled, also digging deeper into the well's bottom.
000000000000000000000
(Kagome's time)
"sob Inuyasha, please don't be mad with me. sob I didn't block the well it did it itself. sob hic I guess this really is goodbye, Inuyasha. I never meant sob anything about sealing the well. Please don't be mad at me. sob sniff I love you," Kagome cried, allowing her ebony bangs to cover her crying eyes, as her tears ran down her soft cheeks and onto the darkened earth, staining it with tiny, wet puddles. "I'm truly sorry, Inuyasha! I wish I could see you again sob. Why does this happen to me?"
000000000000000000000
(Inuyasha's time)
"RRRR KAGOME! Kagome, why? Do you hate me that much? Ano?" Inuyasha mused, looking down at the turned up ground beneath him.
BUH-BUMP, BUH-BUMP, BUH-BUMP
"Wha…! NO! It's that feeling again! I Remember this! It's like blood is burning! Oh, shit," Inuyasha shouted, looking down at his blood and dirt cover hands, seeing his claws grow longer.
000000000000000000000
(Kagome's time)
"sniff hic Good bye, Inuyasha." Kagome said, climbing out of the well with her scrapped hands. "I'm so sorry!"
000000000000000000000
(Inuyasha's time)
"Inuyasha, are you down there?" Sango asked, looking down into the well to see a mass white and red hunched over in the well's bottom.
"Sango… Get away… Get away from me," Inuyasha growled, trying his best to not attack his friend.
"Inuyasha, are you— That aura! No! Why is youkai blood surfacing," Sango gasped, backing from the well some as Inuyasha jumped out and landed on the well's lip. "Inuyasha what's wrong! Why is your youkai blood rising!"
"pant Kagome… Sh-she sealed— pant gulp The well… I-I can't get to her. gasp Sango… I need help," Inuyasha huffed, straining not to attack his friend as his eyes started to glow red and his fangs started to grow longer.
"Uh, I'm sorry but…" Sango said, picking a large branch off the ground.
WHACK
"…It was the only thing I could think of! I'll be right back, Inuyasha, I'm going to get Miroku." Sango said, running back towards the village unaware of someone watching them. Please be all right, Inuyasha!
"So, my brother, I see you can't control your youkai half anymore. Heh. It would be so easy to kill you where you lay." Sesshoumaru said, pulling Tokijin from its sheath and held it high over his brother's body.
"Oh, no you don't! Inuyasha is mine to kill, cur!" a voice sounded from a fast whirlwind that approached and slowed down, showing Kouga slide to a stop. "So step aside and let me finish him off!"
"Who the hell are you," Sesshoumaru asked, turning his head to look at the wolf prince. "I move for no one especially a lowly wolf like you."
"I'm Kouga! The leader of the wolf pack. I'm here to kill Inuyasha so, I can get my love Kagome back from him," Kouga said, getting into a fighting stance." Now this is your last chance move over dog, or I'll like you too."
"Such big words for such small vermin," Sesshoumaru said, pointing his sword at Kouga. "You must have death wish."
"Sesshoumaru-Sama! I'm is getting hungry! AAAAAAA," Rin screamed, running behind Sesshoumaru and peaked out from behind his legs. "That was the wolf that attacked my village!"
"Sniff, sniff RRRR So it was your pack that tried to kill her!" Sesshoumaru growled, turning his sword towards Kouga. "You'll pay for that."
"Heh. My pack and I have kill enough humans we don't even know what village that runt is from," Kouga said, glaring at Sesshoumaru. "But if you don't step aside and let me finish off that insolent puppy at your feet I will have to kill you too."
"Hiraikotsu," Sango yelled, sending her boomerang between the two demons. "BREAK IT UP, YOU TWO!"
"What the hell," Kouga and Sesshoumaru yelled in unison, turning to look at Sango catch her boomerang standing beside Kirara, Miroku, and Shippou.
"You ningen stand aside this does not concern you. Rin, go back to the camp." Sesshoumaru ordered, slightly turning his head to look at the young girl peaking out from behind his legs. "Now hurry."
"Yes, sir." Rin said, running back into the woods.
"Uh, Lady Sango, was I seeing things or was that a ningen child behind Sesshoumaru's legs?" Miroku asked, looking at Sango's surprised face.
"Uh-huh. ahem Alright you two step away from our friend," Sango yelled, holding her own sword out.
"Where's Kagome," Kouga asked, looking around for his so called 'love'. "She always around this mutt!"
"She's not here, wolf! Now get away from Inuyasha," Shippou said, shaking a bit, talking to a stronger youkai like that.
"Not here! All the better! I can kill Inuyasha without her getting in the way," Kouga said charging towards Inuyasha's limp body.
"He's my brother and he's mine to kill," Sesshoumaru growled, blocking Kouga from getting to his brother. "Now stay out of my business!"
"STEP ASIDE, CUR! I have to kill him so I can get Kagome to love me!" Kouga yelled pushing against Sesshou-Maru trying to get to Inu-Yasha.
"You're a sad, overly confident man, aren't you?" Sesshou-Maru asked, looking at Kouga like he was a baka.
"You don't have to say that twice!" Shippou said, shaking his head in agreement.
"He's the only thing standing between me and Kagome! That puppy must be killed," Kouga yelled, swiping a leg under Sesshoumaru's legs. "Now move!"
THUMP
"Energy whip!" Sesshoumaru yelled, releasing his yellow whip of energy at Kouga's back, hitting him dead on, knocking him to the ground.
"moan What the… Kouga, Sesshoumaru what are doing… RRAAAAA! DIE!" Inuyasha yelled, running towards the two demons.
"You want him you can have him," Sesshoumaru smirked, shoving Kouga towards Inuyasha.
"Why the sudden change in… WHOA! WHAT THE HELL," Kouga yelled, just jumping out the way just in time to see Inuyasha fist's hit the ground, leaving huge cracks and an even larger crater in the ground. "WHAT JUST HAPPENED! How did he go so strong all of a sudden!"
"SPIRIT WARD!" Miroku yelled out, sending a spell scroll at Inuyasha.
"RRAAAAA! GRRRR HOUSHI!" Inuyasha yelled/growled, falling to the ground on his knees as the scroll landed on his forehead, sending a shock through his body. "RRRAAAAAAAGH!"
"What the hell happen to him" Kouga asked, keeping some distance away from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha's youkai blood. His human half is slowly drifting away. Inuyasha well die a painful death. I was only doing a mercy killing when I saw him change without fighting and loosing his sword," Sesshoumaru said, putting Tokijin back in his sash.
"What are you talking about? You've always wanted to kill him," Miroku said, pointing his staff at Sesshoumaru. "Were' not stupid, Sesshoumaru!"
"M-Miroku… S-Sango…" Inuyasha said softly, leaning over with his hands supporting him as his knees rested on the ground.
"Inuyasha," Miroku, Sango, and Shippou said in unison, running up to their friend.
"Inuyasha, what happed to you," Shippou asked, looking up into Inuyasha's face. "Why did you transform like that?"
"Kagome… Sh-she blocked the w-well. I-I can't get through to h-her." Inuyasha said, looking down at Shippou's saddened and scared face. "I-I got mad and th-then…"
"No! She would never do that," Shippou shouted, looking back up at Inuyasha.
"She d-did. S-Sango, Miroku, I need your h-help." Inuyasha said, standing up with the scroll still on his head. This is my only choice. I have to do this.
"Yes, what is it?" Miroku asked, looking at his friend with concern.
"I n-need help in finding the Tr-Traveling Witch." Inuyasha said, leaning up against a tree. "She c-can help me
"The Witch that can travel to different lands in a blink of an eye? That Witch?" Sango asked, looking at Inuyasha. Something is up. He's would never ask for someone like that.
"Hai. I also need to find another miko," Inuyasha said, glance over at Sesshoumaru and Kouga to see if they were still there.
"We can find a miko with ease but the Traveling Witch isn't going to be easy," Miroku said, looking at Inuyasha. "We don't know what to look for her."
"I know where you can find the witch," Sesshoumaru said, looking at Inuyasha.
"Ano? You can," Inuyasha asked, looking at his older brother in surprise. "Where is she then?"
"She lives near the western lands. She's getting old and stays home a lot more. I can take you there," Sesshoumaru said, walking up to his brother.
"Why are you helping me," Inuyasha asked, shifting his body some against the tree. "You do hate me after all so, why are you being so helpful?"
"Yeah, I though you said you wanted to kill him," Kouga asked, walking up to Sesshoumaru.
"If what I'm thinking is correct… You, little brother, want to be sent far away from here and entrapped again to prevent your youkai blood from ever fully rising," Sesshoumaru said, giving a sly look towards Inuyasha. "I'm I correct in presuming that, Inuyasha?"
"Inuyasha, is that what you really want to do!" Shippou asked, tugging on Inuyasha's hakama.
"Hm." Inuyasha nodded, looking at the kitsune's sad, green eyes.
"Why don't I end all the trouble looking for the witch and the miko and kill you right now," Kouga growled, looking at Inuyasha. "It would be easy. He's weak right now from transforming."
"Because if Inuyasha was to fight again my spirit ward will no long be in effective and his blood would rise again. Inuyasha needs to stay calm." Miroku said, stepping in front of the Kouga. "So, don't even start I fight with him."
"Alright, let's find these two bitches that he's looking for," Kouga said, crossing his arms in irritation. "The sooner he's out of my way I can make Kagome my girl."
"Again you are a sad, over confident man," Sesshoumaru just shook his head.

(Kagome's time)
"Kagome, what happen to your hands," Mrs. Higurashi asked, looking at Kagome's bleeding hands. "Let me look at them. Oh, honey what did you do?"
"The well it's blocked! It blocked itself up! sob I can't get to see Inuyasha anymore. sob" Kagome cried into her mother shoulder as Mrs. Higurashi held her tight.
"Sis, what happed? Are your hands are bleeding?" Souta asked, looking at Kagome's hands.
"Souta, go get the bandages and the disinfectant. Kagome, let's go sit down in the living room so, you can tell me more about this while I fix your hands." Mrs. Higurashi said, walking Kagome into the living room.

(10 minutes later)
"Those bandages aren't too tight are they?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, looking at the gauze wrapped around each finger all the way down to her wrist on both hands.
"No. They're fine." Kagome said, quietly looking down at her hands in her lap. "They're just a little sore."
"Kagome… Why did the well stop working," Souta asked, sitting beside his sister. "You were always able to pass through before. So, why now?"
"I don't know, Souta. To make things worse I told Inuyasha if he didn't let me come here I was going to block the well. If he tries to get through he won't be able to and will think that I really did block the well," Kagome said, looking back towards the window that was growing darker as the sun set. "I feel so guilty about saying that. If I had known the well was going to stop working I would have never said that. Now Inuyasha is going to hate me and everyone else is going to think I let them down."
"Kagome, tomorrow we are going shopping and pack up for your trip. Please try to cheer up. When you are gone we will call you and tell if the well has reopened. Now let's get some dinner started," Mrs. Higurashi said, standing up and walked into the kitchen. "Souta, you'll be doing the dishes in you sister place tonight."
"Awe, man," Souta moaned, crossing his arm in a huff.
