Taijiya-Hatake: Yep! They're finally in the Feudal Era! I'll try to be faster this time!

cherry fantasy: I'm glad you liked it and I got that idea from inukagfanatic! They suggested he heard it and I liked the idea soooo... Anyways! Yep! They did have a great time! Katanna doesn't really get to go to these kinds of things much because... well... you know. Yeah I know! I'm so evil! But I have plans for those two... Yeah it was funny! Yes! After 16 chapters they finally made it! Woohoo! LOL! Just you wait! It will be intreasting! Yeah! I can already imagine their reaction when they wake up! giggle. I wonder...chuckles evilly. I'm glad you like my work and i'm glad you wrote a long review! I haven't been getting a lot of those and I absolutely ADORE long reviews! As long as it isn't flaming me and the closest thing to a bad review i've gotten is that my story was a bit cheesy at times and that I was a little seventh heaveny with the whole "half-breed thing". Oh well! It really wasn't that bad because they eventually said they loved it! I'm glad you want more! I believe i've got you hooked! giggle. I'll try to update faster this time!

x.FAR.cry.x: That might have not been a bad idea but I wasn't sure what kind of prize would be at a Feudal Festival! It's okay! I don't mind! I'm glad you liked it and that was my 2nd longest chapter so far! yay me! The longest was like 3770 something words! Okay... I did not understand one word of what you said just now! Anyways! I'm glad you liked it! I got your PM and thanks! I thought naggy was a word because I heard in on Fairly Odd Parents once! Cosmo and Wanda were singing a song that went like this: "I know I can be naggy, I know your naggy too. I know I can be demanding, Man, is that true!" Stuff like that. So... see?

szaugglaughs: Yep! Another chap! I'm glad i've got you intreasted and it's MORE than likely he'll meet his dad this chap! I know it was kind of fast but I mean, it has been 500 years so I think that they would pretty much have only a vague idea because the legend was never really written down until like 200 years after it happened because it was told orally until then! ... Um... I made that up for an explanation just now. I hope you don't mind! Thanks! I'm glad it set the stage! I'll try to update faster this time!

pandabear1415: Okay! I'm trying to update fast!

Sameul Duchesne: I'm glad you liked it and Yes! The spell is finally broken! We're all wondering! Yes, it should be fun to read! Oooohhh! Very good suggestion! I like it! I might use it but i'll probably tweak it a little!

Blacksash: I'll try to update soon! You really are hyper, aren't you? heh. Anyways! Thanks for your review!

Shessomarus-woman: I'll try to be faster this time! I'm glad you like it and yes I know it is sad! But a story is never good if it doesn't have a little sadness in it! Who wants a story that's perfect and happy all the time? I mean that would be boring! Unless it's a comedy but even those have a little sadness in them so... Anyways! I'm getting off topic! I'm glad you liked it! blushes. There's no need to bow. I'm not that good. I guess i'm okay for a 7th grader but you don't have to bow. Thanks anyways though!

fire-tiger-c: LOL! Kiotsu does argue with himself a lot! I have a problem with talking to myself sometimes but that's what happens when you like to spend so much time alone! . No! You can't die! You're the only person I have to talk to! I'm not usually very good at cliffies! If I am, I never realized it! Yeah. Poor Kiotsu! I feel bad for him! I'm making myself feel bad for a lot of my characters lately! First, I feel bad for Kagome because she can't see Inuyasha anymore! Then, I feel bad for Katanna because her childhood was so sad! Next, I feel bad for Nemaru and Kiotsu for knowing next to nothing about their dad! Then, I feel bad for Kiotsu thinking his dad might be dead! Finally, I feel bad that Kiotsu and Katanna didn't get to kiss! ... I've got to stop making things so sad. Oh well! It's sure to get better! ... or maybe it will get worse. duh! duh! duh! Anyways! I'm glad you like it!

cocoke5: I'm glad you like it and that you think i'm doing a nice job! It is very likely they'll be meeting they're father soon! And Kagome might go through the well! Nobody knows what'll happen next! (Except me of course! Evil chuckling.)

A/N: I'm sooooooo sorry I haven't updated in like forever! I've been in a "mood". I haven't had the heart to write, draw, read, anything! at all lately! I'm soooooo sorry! Please forgive me! I love you guys! You know that right? So please don't be mad at me! Please?

Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha show and never will no matter how much I wish it unless i'm somehow related to the great Rumiko Takahashi and I inherit it from her or something. Sigh. That would be nice.

Chapter 17

Kiotsu slowly came into sub-consciousness but didn't open his eyes.

'What happened?' he thought,' Where am I?'

The previous night came back to him and he thought,' Oh yeah. I came home and I checked out the old well. Then, I fell in when Nemaru tripped and crashed into me.'

He slowly opened his eyes but quickly closed them, to keep from being blinded by the bright rays of sunlight.

'Wait!' thought Kiotsu, 'Sunlight?'

Kiotsu sat straight up opening his eyes completely, but wincing as he felt his head throb, and the soreness in his back. He reached his hand up to his head and hesitantly touched the back of it. He was met with a lump and winced when he touched it. He looked around and saw Nemaru lying on the other side of the well. He crawled over and she stirred.

He touched her arm and said, "Nemaru?"

Nemaru let out a low moan and opened her eyes but quickly closed them. She slowly sat up as she rubbed her eyes.

She blinked them a few times and said," Kiotsu?"

She looked around and said," What happened?"

"We fell down the old well because someone crashed into me, Remember?" he said, looking at her with an accusing look.

She smiled and scratched the back of her head, chuckling nervously.

"What were you trying to do, anyways?", asked Kiotsu.

"Well", said Nemaru," I was going to sneak in and scare you but as you see, although it worked, the results were a bit ... disastrous."

"I kind of noticed that", said Kiotsu.

Kiotsu looked up and shielded his eyes from the rays of sun blinding him.

"That sun sure is bright", said Nemaru.

"Wait", said Kiotsu," Where's the roof of the well house?"

"What?" said Nemaru, looking up.

Sure enough there was no well house roof, just blue sky with puffy white clouds lazily drifting across it.

"What happened?", said Nemaru.

"I don't know", said Kiotsu," but we should probably get out of here."

"How?", asked Nemaru.

Kiotsu looked around and spied a ladder on the side of the well.

"Hey look!", said Kiotsu," There's a ladder! Let's climb up that!"

"What's a ladder doing in a well?", asked Nemaru.

"How should I know?", Kiotsu shrugged," At least it's a way out."

Kiotsu climbed up the ladder with Nemaru close behind. The rope ladder made a slight creaking noise showing it's age. Kiotsu pulled himself out followed by Nemaru. Kiotsu looked up and his eyes widened. Rather, than the Higurashi shrine he was so used to, he saw that they were in a small grassy clearing and a forest lay in front of them.

"Where ... are we?" Kiotsu snapped out of his trance and turned to look at Nemaru.

She was looking at him in confusion.

"Where are we?" she repeated.

"Well," said Kiotsu," it looks like a clearing to me."

Nemaru glared at him.

"You know what I mean!", she said, agitatedly.

"I was just stating a fact", said Kiotsu, shrugging.

Nemaru just rolled her eyes.

She looked at his clothing and said, " Heh. You look like one of those old feudal guys in our history books."

"Well I really didn't have time to change in between the festival and falling into an old well", said Kiotsu.

Nemaru was about to reply when they suddenly heard something big crashing through the forest and a loud roar. They both turned their heads towards the forest.

"What ... was that?" said Nemaru.

"I really wouldn't be able to tell you," said Kiotsu.

Suddenly, a giant black spider came out of the forest. It had eight slitted red eyes and a two large fangs, dripping with a thick purple liquid. At the tip of each of it's hairy black legs, it had a sharp claw-like point. Kiotsu eyebrows went up into his hairline as his eyes widened. Nemaru's eyes were wide and her eyebrows furrowed.

"What is that thing?" said Nemaru.

"It-It looks like a giant spider but..." said Kiotsu.

"I think I hit my head too hard against the well", said Nemaru.

"Uh-huh", said Kiotsu, nodding, eyes still wide.

The giant spider's red eyes rolled down to look on them.

It gave a deep throated chuckle and said," You two look good enough to eat. Heh. Heh. Heh."

It shot out a leg to pierce Kiotsu's stomach. He snapped out of it and without thinking quickly clawed it's leg. A blue light emitted from his claws. The limb fell down, smoking and the spider cried out in pain. It drew back it's leg. Kiotsu looked at the leg on the ground, burned, and smoking. Then, he looked down at his hand and saw that it was glowing blue but the light faded leaving his hand with white smoke trailing off it before that disappeared too. He gaped in shock.

"Kiotsu look out!"

Kiotsu turned and he jumped back as the spider's leg came rushing at him but another leg came and swept his feet out from under him.

"Ah!" Kiotsu cried, as he crashed to the ground.

Another leg shot out and Kiotsu rolled to the side so it pierced the ground and got up quickly beside Nemaru.

"How'd you learn to do that?", asked Nemaru.

"I don't know", said Kiotsu," I just do it. I'm not even sure what I'm doing. Look out!"

Kiotsu pushed her to the side, both of them crashing to the ground as a leg, zoomed over their heads. They leapt up and dodged another leg coming at them.

"Stand still and let me kill you!", the spider cried, angrily," I'm tired of playing!"

"No chance!", said Nemaru, leaping to the side as she dodged another leg.

The spider shot a leg towards Nemaru but suddenly, veered at the last moment, catching Kiotsu by surprise. He just barely escaped it as he jumped back but as it neared it sliced through the blue pendant necklace around his neck. Things seemed to go in slow motion as Kiotsu watched it fly through the air away from him and landing onto the ground as he leaped backwards. Then suddenly... it all hit him at once.

Kiotsu felt a million smells pound into his nose. The sun suddenly seemed so much brighter and it almost blinded him. "What-What's going on?" said Kiotsu, through squinted eyes. The smells all rushing through his nose, made his head start the pound, and the sun blinding his eyes. He felt himself grow dizzy and lightheaded. He staggered back a few steps until he felt himself falling to the ground. His head pounded and he saw as Nemaru's red pendant necklace went flying and she suddenly keeled over with her hands pressed tight against her ears, eyes squeezed tight.

She collapsed to the ground, unmoving. Kiotsu saw the edges of his vision grow dark and everything seemed muffled as the sound of his breathing grew loud in his ears. He lifted his head slightly and saw 4 yellow claw marks appear in the spider as he heard a muffled yell that sounded a lot like "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer". The spider let out a muffled agonizing cry as it burst to pieces. Kiotsu saw a flash of red and his world became black.

Look! I've got a preview of the next chap! Yay!

Kiotsu suddenly realized that he could catch a strangely familiar scent. It was like the forest after it rained laden with mist, the masculine scent of a redwood(I don't think those grow in Japan but i'm putting it anyways!), and many other things he couldn't name all mixed into one. It seemed so familiar but he couldn't quite place it. Suddenly, the bamboo mat was pushed aside and the person who stood there caused his eyes to widen and his face was filled with shock and disbelief.

I know it's not much but I hope you like it!

I already have the next chap typed up but i'm not posting unless I get lots of reviews! So... REVIEW!
