Chapter 3
Inuyasha walked over to Ryuutensei remains and reclaimed his tetseiga, and then onto the well, to Kagome. He fell unconscious before he made it though.
"Ugh"
"Inuyasha," and elderly woman spoke, "Have you awaken? You've been out for at least two days".
"Feh," Inuyasha replied, "Don't remind me". Inuyasha tried to get up, only to be stopped by purely by the severity of his wounds.
"I wouldn't try that anymore," the elderly woman, Keade stated.
"Feh," Inuyasha answered, "I'll do as I please".
"If you want to kill yourself if you to," Keade said, "I'm curious, how dangerous is Kagome's era? Kagome is in her era, correct?"
"It is not that dangerous," Inuyasha said, "Not many wield weapons in her era".
"Then you'll kill your self for no true reason then," Keade advised.
"I can feel in my bones," Inuyasha stated, "I have to get to Kagome."
"You'll have to rest," Keade, insisted, "You will not even make it to the well. All you'll do is make your wounds worse, which will only end up with you waking up here, or death".
"Don't Inuyasha," Keade pleaded, "Where are Miroku and Sango?"
"I pissed Kagome off, and she took Kilala heading back to her era, and I followed her, they're likely heading back here on foot".
"Wait for them to return at least," Keade pleaded, anything to not have him leave.
"Feh," Inuyasha replied, trying to get up this time, he managed to barely. And he was stumbling, barely maintaining his balance.
"Very few, if not any other of us villagers head outside of the village by themselves," Keade yelled, frustration setting in, "You will die!"
"Feh," Inuyasha just kept on going.
"I won't let you," Keade stated fiercely, annoyance evident.
"What!" Inuyasha laughed, "An hag old hag like yourself verses a young half demon? Try something else".
"I may be very old, but your having problems laughing," Keade replied, moving closer to him, "You almost fell over laughing there". Keade grabbed onto Inuyasha, and threw him to the ground.
"Annoying wench," Inuyasha yelled at her, and tried to get back up. Only to have Keade put her foot on his shoulder, given Inuyasha's injuries, gave him a mathematical chance of zero percent.
"Get off," Inuyasha yelled, "That's making the injuries worse!"
"Can't the big, tough, young half demon handle it?" Keade teased, looking to get under his skin.
"No!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Are you going to stop trying to kill yourself by trying to get to Kagome?" Keade asked.
"I'm going to get to her," Inuyasha stated, still determined.
"Even if you do get her era, what could you do to help her in your state?" Keade asked putting just a touch more weight on her foot.
"Alright, alright, I stay here, "Inuyasha gave in, just get your foot off me!"
"You'll actually do that," Keade said, not removing her foot just yet, "Or just say it and then leave anyways?"
"I'll stay here," Inuyasha said, giving in, "And I'll let my wounds heal".
Three days later.
"What happened to you?" Miroku asked walking into Keade's hut, he and Sango finally managed to return to Keade's village.
"Ryuukotsusei's cousin, Ryuutensei decided to come to try a get revenge," Inuyasha said, "Don't know why he hesitated to now to come though".
"What happened to Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"I sent her through the well," Inuyasha answered, "She should be safe, but I have this feeling that she isn't".
"Don't worry about her right now," Miroku said, trying to calm him down, "She has her family in her era correct? She'll be safe".
"Yeah," Inuyasha stated, "But it's getting worse and worse".
"I didn't think you were that foolish," Miroku whispered.
"What!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Miroku," Keade interrupted, "Inuyasha has a good reason for that feeling".
"Which is?" Miroku asked.
"That's a private matter between Inuyasha and Kagome," Keade answered, "You'll have to ask them".
"Huh?" Inuyasha stated, confused by the comment, "What do you mean?"
"Give it a couple weeks," Keade answered, "And, I won't have to say".
"Whatever, wench," Inuyasha replied, "When are you going to let me leave?"
"At least stay until tomorrow," Keade said, "But you should stay longer".
"I'm going to Kagome's era tomorrow," Inuyasha said, "Miroku can I get a small favour from you?"
"Sure," Miroku answered.
"Get Sango and try to try to go thought he well," Inuyasha ordered.
"We'll try," Inuyasha said, "See ya".
"See ya".
Needless to say Miroku and Sango failed.
The next day.
"I'm going now," Inuyasha said.
"Alright," Keade said, "I still say you should rest here".
"Yeah, Yeah," Inuyasha replied, "Anything else?"
"No," Keade said, "Just don't get hurt any further".
"Feh," was Inuyasha's remarks as he left her hut, and headed of to the well. It didn't take him long, and he jumped into the well. Once he landed, he headed straight towards Kagome's room. Everything was everywhere. A horrid mess, no blood, and no Kagome. Inuyasha headed down towards the kitchen, where her mother was.
"Inuyasha," Mrs. Higurashi stated, "Wasn't Kagome with you?"
"Nope," Inuyasha said, "She came back here. Five or six days ago. What happened here?"
"Someone trashed the place, looking for something when we where gone," Mrs. Higurashi answered, "When did you say Kagome returned?"
"Five or six days ago," Inuyasha answered, concerned, and confused.
"Can't you get more accurate?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Nope," Inuyasha answered, "When Kagome came back an incredibly powerful demon attacked, and I barely survived. I ended up being unconscious for like two or so days".
"I..., uhhh..., hope they didn't," Mrs Higurashi mumbled.
"What was that? Inuyasha asked, having problems figuring out what she said.
"I think that there is a good possibility that who ever trashed this place could of kidnapped Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi said, trying to keep her composure".
(A/N): Sorry about the incredibly long wait. I had to go on a business trip, then I couldn't get the internet to work whatsoever for at least three weeks, and the last month or so has been focused on the Stanley Cup playoffs. I only posted this because Carolina and Buffalo can't seem to crush the other quickly. The next two weeks probably won't have anything by me either, my team is still in. GO OILERS GO!
